Hadith 7014
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked about things which he disliked, and when the people asked too many
questions, he became angry and said, "Ask me (any question)." A man got up and said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Who is my father?" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "Your father is Hudhaifa." Then another man got up
and said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Who is my father?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Your father is Salim, Maula
Shaiba." When `Umar saw the signs of anger on the face of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), he said, "We repent to
Allah."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 96, Hadith 22

The Prophet (ﷺ) took a room made of date palm leaves mats in the mosque. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) prayed in it
for a few nights till the people gathered (to pray the night prayer (Tarawih) (behind him.) Then on the
4th night the people did not hear his voice and they thought he had slept, so some of them started
humming in order that he might come out. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "You continued doing what I saw
you doing till I was afraid that this (Tarawih prayer) might be enjoined on you, and if it were enjoined
on you, you would not continue performing it. Therefore, O people! Perform your prayers at your
homes, for the best prayer of a person is what is performed at his home except the compulsory
congregational) prayer." (See Hadith No. 229,Vol. 3) (See Hadith No. 134, Vol. 8) Sahih al-Bukhari Book 96, Hadith 21
