The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No doubt, I intended to order somebody to pronounce the Iqama of the
(compulsory congregational) prayer and then I would go to the houses of those who do not attend the
prayer and burn their houses over them."

I heard Hisham bin Hakim bin Hizam reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different to that of mine.
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had taught it to me (in a different way). So, I was about to quarrel with him (during
the prayer) but I waited till he finished, then I tied his garment round his neck and seized him by it and
brought him to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and said, "I have heard him reciting Surat-al-Furqan in a way different
to the way you taught it to me." The Prophet (ﷺ) ordered me to release him and asked Hisham to recite it.
When he recited it, Allah s Apostle said, "It was revealed in this way." He then asked me to recite it.
When I recited it, he said, "It was revealed in this way. The Quran has been revealed in seven
different ways, so recite it in the way that is easier for you."

Abu bin Zam`a and Sa`d bin Abi Waqqas carried the case of their claim of the (ownership) of the son
of a slave-girl of Zam`a before the Prophet. Sa`d said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! My brother, before his
death, told me that when I would return (to Mecca), I should search for the son of the slave-girl of
Zam`a and take him into my custody as he was his son." 'Abu bin Zam`a said, 'the is my brother and
the son of the slave-girl of my father, and was born or my father's bed." The Prophet (ﷺ) noticed a
resemblance between `Utba and the boy but he said, "O 'Abu bin Zam`a! You will get this boy, as the
son goes to the owner of the bed. You, Sauda, screen yourself from the boy."
