(the wife of the Prophet) When believing women came to the Prophet (ﷺ) as emigrants, he used to test
them in accordance with the order of Allah. 'O you who believe! When believing women come to you
as emigrants, examine them . . .' (60.10) So if anyone of those believing women accepted the above
mentioned conditions, she accepted the conditions of faith. When they agreed on those conditions and
confessed that with their tongues, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would say to them, "Go, I have accepted your oath
of allegiance (for Islam). By Allah, and hand of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) never touched the hand of any
woman, but he only used to take their pledge of allegiance orally. By Allah, Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) did not
take the pledge of allegiance of the women except in accordance with what Allah had ordered him.
When he accepted their pledge of allegiance he would say to them, "I have accepted your oath of
allegiance."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 68, Hadith 37
The Prophet (ﷺ) passed by her while she was in the masjid, supplicating, then he passed by her again when it was almost midday. He said to her: "Are you still here?" She said: "Yes." He said: "Shall I not teach you some words which you can say? Subhan Allah adada khalqihi, subhan Allah adada khalqihi, subhan Allah adada khalqihi; subhan Allah rida nafsihi, subhan Allah rida nafsihi, subhan Allah rida nafsihi; Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi, Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi, Subhan Allah zinata 'arshihi; Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi, Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi, Subhan Allah midada Kalamatihi (Glory be to Allah the number of His creation, glory be to Allah the number of His creation, glory be to Allah the number of His creation; glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him, glory be to Allah as much as pleases Him; glory be to Allah the weight of His throne, glory be to Allah the weight of His throne, glory be to Allah the weight of His throne; glory be to Allah the number of His words, glory be to Allah the number of His words, glory be to Allah the number of His words).'
Sunan an-Nasa'i Book 13, Hadith 174
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said from Amr ibn
Kathir ibn Aflah from Abu Muhammad, the mawla of Abu Qatada that Abu
Qatada ibn Ribi said, "We went out with the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, in the year of Hunayn. When the
armies met, the Muslims were put in disarray. I saw a man from the
idol worshippers who had got the better of one of the Muslims, so I
circled round and came up behind him, and struck him with a sword on
his shoulder-blade. He turned to me and grabbed me so hard that I felt
the smell of death in it. Then death overcame him, and he let go of
me."
He continued, "I met Umar ibn al-Khattab and said to
him, 'What's going on with the people?' He replied, 'The Command of
Allah.' Then the people took hold of the battle and the Messenger of
Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Whoever has
killed one of the dead and can prove it, can strip him of his personal
effects.' I stood up and said, 'Who will testify for me?' and then I
sat down. The Messenger of Allah repeated, 'Whoever has killed one of
the dead and can prove it, can strip him of his personal effects.' I
stood up and said, 'Who will testify for me?' then I sat down. Then he
repeated his statement a third time, so I stood up, and the Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'What's the
matter with you, Abu Qatada?' So I related my story to him. A man
said, 'He has spoken the truth, Messenger of Allah. I have the effects
of that slain person with me, so give him compensation for it,
Messenger of Allah.'
Abu Bakr said, 'No, by Allah! He did not
intend that one of the lions of Allah should fight for Allah and His
Messenger and then give you his spoils.' The Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'He has spoken the truth,
hand it over to him.' He gave it to me, and I sold the breast-plate
and I bought a garden in the area of the Banu Salima with the money.
It was my first property, and I acquired it in Islam."
Muwatta Malik Book 21, Hadith 20
I never heard `Umar saying about something that he thought it would be so-and-so, but he was quite
right. Once, while `Umar was sitting, a handsome man passed by him, `Umar said, "If I am not wrong,
this person is still on his religion of the pre-lslamic period of ignorance or he was their foreteller. Call
the man to me." When the man was called to him, he told him of his thought. The man said, "I have
never seen such a day on which a Muslim is faced with such an accusation." `Umar said, "I am
determined that you should tell me the truth." He said, "I was a foreteller in the pre-lslamic period of
ignorance." Then `Umar said, "Tell me the most astonishing thing your female Jinn has told you of."
He said, "One-day while I was in the market, she came to me scared and said, 'Haven't you seen the
Jinns and their despair and they were overthrown after their defeat (and prevented from listening to
the news of the heaven) so that they (stopped going to the sky and) kept following camel-riders (i.e.
'Arabs)?" `Umar said, "He is right." and added, "One day while I was near their idols, there came a
man with a calf and slaughtered it as a sacrifice (for the idols). An (unseen) creature shouted at him,
and I have never heard harsher than his voice. He was crying, 'O you bold evil-doer! A matter of
success! An eloquent man is saying: None has the right to be worshipped except you (O Allah).' On
that the people fled, but I said, 'I shall not go away till I know what is behind this.' Then the cry came
again: 'O you bold evil-doer! A matter of success! An eloquent man is saying: None has the right to be
worshipped except Allah.' I then went away and a few days later it was said, "A prophet has
appeared."
