We were with Abu Huraira while he was wearing two linen garments dyed with red clay. He cleaned
his nose with his garment, saying, "Bravo! Bravo! Abu Huraira is cleaning his nose with linen! There
came a time when I would fall senseless between the pulpit of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and `Aisha's dwelling
whereupon a passerby would come and put his foot on my neck, considering me a mad man, but in
fact, I had no madness, I suffered nothing but hunger."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 96, Hadith 54

I used to teach Quran to 'Abdur-Rahman bin Auf. When Umar performed his last Hajj, 'Abdur-Rahman said (to me) at Mina, "Would that you had seen Chief of the believers today! A man came to him and said, "So-and-so has said, "If Chief of the Believers died, we will give the oath of allegiance to such-and-such person,' 'Umar said, 'I will get up tonight and warn those who want to usurp the people's rights.' I said, 'Do not do so, for the season (of Hajj) gathers the riffraff mob who will form the majority of your audience, and I am afraid that they will not understand (the meaning of) your saying properly and may spread (an incorrect statement) everywhere. You should wait till we reach Medina, the place of migration and the place of the Sunna (the Prophet's Traditions). There you will meet the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) from the Muhajirin and the Ansar who will understand your statement and place it in its proper position' 'Umar said, 'By Allah, I shall do so the first time I stand (to address the people) in Medina.' When we reached Medina, 'Umar (in a Friday Khutba-sermon) said, "No doubt, Allah sent Muhammad with the Truth and revealed to him the Book (Quran), and among what was revealed, was the Verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning adulterers to death).'" (See Hadith No. 817,Vol. 8)

Ibn `Abbas was asked, "Did you offer the Id prayer with the Prophet?" He said, "Yes, had it not been
for my close relation to the Prophet, I would not have performed it (with him) because of my being
too young The Prophet (ﷺ) came to the mark which is near the home of Kathir bin As-Salt and offered the
Id prayer and then delivered the sermon. I do not remember if any Adhan or Iqama were pronounced
for the prayer. Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered (the women) to give alms, and they started stretching out
their hands towards their ears and throats (giving their ornaments in charity), and the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered
Bilal to go to them (to collect the alms), and then Bilal returned to the Prophet.
