Hadith 2884
That he heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "It is not permissible for a man to be alone with a woman, and no
lady should travel except with a Muhram (i.e. her husband or a person whom she cannot marry in any
case for ever; e.g. her father, brother, etc.)." Then a man got up and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I have
enlisted in the army for such-and-such Ghazwa and my wife is proceeding for Hajj." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
said, "Go, and perform the Hajj with your wife."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 215

That he was in the company of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on some of his journeys. (The sub-narrator `Abdullah
adds, "I think that Abu Bashir also said, 'And the people were at their sleeping places.") Allah's
Apostle sent a messenger ordering: "There shall not remain any necklace of string or any other kind of
necklace round the necks of camels except it is cut off." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 214

I heard `Ali saying, "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sent me, Az-Zubair and Al-Miqdad somewhere saying, 'Proceed
till you reach Rawdat Khakh. There you will find a lady with a letter. Take the letter from her.' " So,
we set out and our horses ran at full pace till we got at Ar-Rawda where we found the lady and said (to
her). "Take out the letter." She replied, "I have no letter with me." We said, "Either you take out the
letter or else we will take off your clothes." So, she took it out of her braid. We brought the letter to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and it contained a statement from Hatib bin Abi Balta a to some of the Meccan pagans
informing them of some of the intentions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "O Hatib!
What is this?" Hatib replied, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Don't hasten to give your judgment about me. I was
a man closely connected with the Quraish, but I did not belong to this tribe, while the other emigrants
with you, had their relatives in Mecca who would protect their dependents and property . So, I wanted
to recompense for my lacking blood relation to them by doing them a favor so that they might protect
my dependents. I did this neither because of disbelief not apostasy nor out of preferring Kufr
(disbelief) to Islam." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), said, "Hatib has told you the truth." `Umar said, O Allah's
Apostle! Allow me to chop off the head of this hypocrite." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Hatib participated in
the battle of Badr, and who knows, perhaps Allah has already looked at the Badr warriors and said,
'Do whatever you like, for I have forgiven you." Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 216
