actually) fights.

1102 - Al-Bara', may Allah be pleased with him, reported: When the Qur'anic verse Those who sit (at
home) from among the believers and Those who go out for Jihad in the way of Allah are not equal the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) ordered Zaid (to write the verse). He brought a shoulder-
blade (of a slaughtered camel) and inscribed it (the verse) thereon. The son of Umm Maktum complained
of his blindness to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him). (At this) descended the revelation: Those of
the believers who sit (at home) without any trouble (illness, incapacity, disability)

1103 - Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: A man said: Messenger of Allah, where will I be if I

1104 - Al-Bara', may Allah be pleased with him, stated: A man from Banu Al-Nabit (one of the Ansar
tribes) came to the Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) and said: I testify that there is no god except

The Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: He has done a little but will be given a great reward.

1105 - Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, related: My uncle, after whom I have been named, was not
present with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on the Day of Badr. He felt distressed about
it. He would say: I have missed the first battle fought by the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him),
and if Allah now gives me an opportunity to see a battlefield with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him), Allah will see what I do therein. He was afraid to say more than this (lest he be unable to keep
his word with Allah). He was present with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) on the Day of
Uhud. He met Sa'd bin Mu'adh (who was retreating). Anas said to him: O Abu 'Amr, where (are you
going)? Woe (to you)! I find the smell of Paradise beside the Uhud mountain. He went forward and fought
them (the enemy) until he was killed. More than eighty wounds inflicted with swords, spears and arrows
were found on his body. His sister, my aunt, Al-Rubaiyi' bint Nadr said: I could not recognize my brother's
body (it was so badly mutilated) except from his finger-tips. (It was on this occasion that) the Qur'anic
verse: Men who have been true to their covenant with Allah. Of them some have completed their vow (to
the extreme), and some still wait: but they have never changed (their determination) in the least It was said
that this verse was revealed about him and his companions.

1106 - Abu Musa Al-Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: A desert Arab came to the Holy
Prophet (may peace be upon him) and said: Messenger of Allah, one man fights for the spoils of war;
another fights that he may be remembered, and another fights that he may see his (high) position (achieved
as a result of his valor in fighting). Which of these is fighting in the cause of Allah? The Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) said: One who fights with the aim of exalting the word of Allah is a fighter
in the way of Allah.

1107 - 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: The Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) said: (The value of) an action depends on the intention behind it. A man will be
rewarded only for what he intended. The emigration of one who emigrates for the sake of Allah and His
Messenger (may peace be upon him) is for the sake of Allah and His Messenger (may peace be upon him);
and the emigration of one who emigrates for gaining a worldly advantage or for marrying a woman is for
what he has emigrated.

1108 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) used to visit Umm Haram bint Milhan and Umm Haram was the wife of 'Ubaidah bin Al-Samit.
One day the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) paid her a visit. She entertained him with food
and then sat down to rub his head. The Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) dozed off and when
he woke up (after a while), he was laughing. She asked: What made you laugh, Messenger of Allah? He
said: Some people from my Ummah were presented to me who were fighters in the way of Allah and were
sailing in this sea. (Gliding smoothly on the water), they appeared to be kings or like kings (sitting) on
thrones (the narrator has a doubt about the actual expression used by the Holy Prophet). She said:
Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah that He may include me among these warriors. He prayed for her. Then
he placed his head (down) and dozed off (again). He woke up laughing as before. (She said) I said:
Messenger of Allah, what makes you laugh? He replied: A people from my Ummah were presented to me.
They were fighters in Allah's way. (He described them in the same words as he had described the first
warriors). She said: Messenger of Allah, pray to Allah that He may include me among these warriors. He
said: You are among the first ones. Umm Haram bint Milhan sailed in the sea in the time of Mu'awiah.
When she came out of the sea and (was going to mount a riding animal) she fell down and died.

1109 - Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) said: While a man walks along a path, finds a thorny twig lying on the way and puts it aside,
Allah would appreciate it and forgive him. The Holy Prophet (may peace be upon him) said: The martyrs
are of five kinds: one who dies of plague; one who dies of diarrhea (or cholera); one who is drowned; one
who is buried under debris and one who dies fighting in the way of Allah, the Great and Almighty.

has accomplished his purpose; he should hasten his return to his family.

1113 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: The Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him) would not come (back) to his family by night. He would come to them in the morning or in the
evening.

1114 - 'Adi bin Hatim, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: I said: Messenger of Allah, I set off
trained dogs and they catch for me (the game) and I recite the name of Allah over it (I slaughter the game
by reciting Bismillah, Allah-u-Akbar), whereupon he said: When you set off your trained dogs and you
recited the name of Allah (while setting them off), then eat (the game). I said: Even if these (the trained
dogs) kill that (the game)? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Even if these kill, but (on the condition) that no
other dog, which you did not set off (along with your dogs), participates, (in catching the game). I said to
him: I throw Mi'rad, a heavy featherless blunt arrow, for hunting and killing (the game). Thereupon he said:
When you throw Mi'rad, and it pierces, then eat, but if it falls flatly (and beats the game to death), then do
not eat that.

1115 - Abu Tha'labah Al-Khushani, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: I came to Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) and said: Allah's Messenger, we are in the land of the People of the Book, (so) we
eat in their utensils, and (live) in a hunting region, where I hunt with the help of my bow, and hunt with my
trained dog, or with my dog which is not trained. So inform me what is lawful (Halal) for us out of that. He
(the Holy Prophet) said: Regarding what you have mentioned of the fact that you live in the land belonging
to the People of the Book and so you eat in their utensils, but if you can get utensils other than theirs, then
do not eat in them; but if you do not find any, then wash them and eat in them. And regarding what you
have mentioned about (your living) in a hunting region, what you hurt (strike) with the help of your bow,
recite the name of Allah (while shooting an arrow) and then eat; and what you catch with the help of your
trained dog, recite the name of Allah (while letting off) the dog and then eat it, and what you get with the
help of your untrained dog, (if you find it alive) and slaughter it (according to the law of the Shari'ah), eat
it.

1116 - Abu Tha'labah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said this: If you shoot with your arrow and (the game) goes out of your sight and you find it (later on),
then eat that if it has not gone rotten.

1117 - Abu Tha'labah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) prohibited the eating of every fanged beast of prey.

1118 - Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sent us
(on an expedition) and appointed Abu 'Ubaidah our chief that we might intercept a caravan of the Quraish
and provided us with a bag of dates. And he found for us nothing besides it. Abu 'Ubaidah gave each of us
one date (every day). I (Abu Zubair, one of the narrators) said: What did you do with that? He said: We
sucked that just as a baby sucks and then drank water over that, and it sufficed us for the day until night.
We beat off leaves with the help of our staffs, then drenched them with water and ate them. We then went
to the coast of the sea, and there rose before us on the coast of the sea something like a big mound. We
came near that and we found that it was a beast, called Al-'Anbar (spermaceti whale). Abu 'Ubaidah said: It
is dead. He then said: No (but it does not matter), we have been sent by the Messenger of Allah (may peace
be upon him) in the path of Allah and you are hard pressed (on account of the scarcity of food), so you eat
that. We three hundred in number stayed there for a month, until we grew bulky. He (Jabir) said: I saw how
we extracted pitcher after pitcher full of fat from the cavity of its eye, and sliced from it compact piece of
meat equal to a bull or like a bull. Abu 'Ubaidah called forth thirteen men from us and he made them sit in
the cavity of its eye, and he took hold of one of the ribs of its chest and made it stand and then saddled the
biggest of the camels we had with us and it passed under it (the arched rib), and we provided ourselves with
pieces of boiled meat (especially for use in our journey). When we came back to Medina, we went to
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and made a mention of that to him, whereupon he said: That
was a provision which Allah had brought forth for you. Is there any piece of meat (left) with you, so that
you give to us that? He (Jabir) said: We sent to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) some of that (a
piece of meat) and he ate it.

'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa about (the lawfulness or unlawfulness of) the flesh of the domestic asses. He said:
We experienced hunger on the Day of Khaibar as we were with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be
upon him). We found domestic asses in the exterior of Medina. We slaughtered them and our earthen pots
were boiling when the announcer of the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) made an
announcement that the earthen pots should be turned upside down and nothing of the flesh of the domestic
asses should be eaten. I said: What kind of prohibition is it that he (the Holy Prophet) has made? He said:
We discussed it among ourselves. Some of us said that it has been declared unlawful for ever, (whereas
others said) it has been declared unlawful since one-fifth (of the booty) has not been given (to the treasury,
as is legally required).

1122 - Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: I do not know whether Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) prohibited (the eating of the domestic ass) due to the fact that they were the
beasts of burden for the people, so he (the Holy Prophet) did not like their beasts of burden to be destroyed
(as a matter of expediency), or he prohibited the use of the flesh of domestic asses (not as an expediency
but as a law of the Shari'ah) on the Day of Khaibar.

1123 - Salamah bin Al-Akwa', may Allah be pleased with him, reported: We went to Khaibar with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him). Then Allah granted (us) victory over them. On that very evening of
the day when they had been granted victory, they lit many fires. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace
be upon him) said: What are those fires and what for those have been lit? They said: (These have been lit)
for (cooking) the flesh. Thereupon he said: Of what flesh? They said: For the flesh of the domestic asses.
Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Throw that away and break them (the earthen
pots in which the flesh was being cooked). A person said: Messenger of Allah, should we throw it away
and wash them (the cooking pots)? He said: You may do so.

1124 - Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: When Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
conquered Khaibar, we caught asses in the exterior of the city. We cooked some of them. Then the
announcer of the Messenger of Allah declared: Allah and his Messenger forbid you to eat them. They are
loathsome and part of Satan's action. (the narrator said): The earthen pots were turned over with what was
in them. They were boiling with what was in them.

1125 - Jabir bin 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) prohibited eating of the flesh of domestic asses on the Day of Khaibar, and permitted the

Messenger, with the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), (and she was the sister of his mother
and sister of Ibn 'Abbas's mother). She presented to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) the flesh
of a lizard which Umm Hufaidah bint Al-Harith had brought from Najd. It was the habit of Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) not to eat anything until he knew what that was. The Messenger of
Allah stretched his hand to the lizard. Then a woman, among those present, said: Tell the Messenger of
Allah about that which you offered for him. They said: Messenger of Allah, it is the lizard. Thereupon, the
Messenger of Allah held back his hand. Khalid bin Al-Walid said: Messenger of Allah, is the lizard
unlawful. He said: No, but it was not in my people's land. So, I find myself indisposed (to eat it). Khalid
said: I cut it and ate it, while the Messenger of Allah was looking (at me), and he did not forbid me.

1129 - It is reported that Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, said: My aunt Umm Hufaid
presented to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) clarified butter (ghee), cheese and some lizards.
He ate out of the clarified butter and cheese, but left the lizard showing no liking for it. But it was eaten on
the table of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). Had it been forbidden, it could not be eaten on the
table of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).

(may peace be upon him) through me, and he accepted them.

1132 - 'Abdullah bin Mughaffal's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with him. Ibn Buraidah reported: 'Abdullah
bin Al-Mughaffal saw a person from among his companions throwing small pebbles, whereupon he said:
Do not throw pebbles, for Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) did not like it, or he forbade flinging
of pebbles since neither the game is taken thereby, nor an enemy defeated, but it may break a tooth or put
out an eye. He, afterwards, again saw him flinging pebbles, and said to him: I inform you that the
Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) did not approve or he forbade flinging of pebbles, and then I
see you again flinging pebbles, I will not speak with you for so and so (period).

1133 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) had forbidden tying animals (and making them the targets of arrows, etc.)
1134 - Ibn 'Umar's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with them. It is reported: Ibn 'Umar happened to pass by
some young men of the Quraish who had tied a bird (and thus made it a target) at which they had been
shooting arrows. So, no sooner did they see Ibn 'Umar than they went away. Thereupon Ibn 'Umar said:
Who has done this? Verily Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) invoked curse upon one who made
a live thing the target (of one's marksmanship).

1135 - Jundab bin Sufyan, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: I was with Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) on the day of 'Id Al-Adha While he had not returned after having offered (the 'Id
Prayer) and finished it, he saw the flesh of the sacrificial animals which had been slaughtered before he had
completed the Prayer. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: One who slaughtered his sacrificial animal
before his Prayer or our Prayer ('Id), he should slaughter another one in its stead, and he who did not
slaughter, he should slaughter by reciting the name of Allah.

1136 - Al-Bara', may Allah be pleased with him, reported: My maternal uncle Abu Burdah sacrificed his
animal before ('Id) Prayer. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: That is a goat
(slaughtered for the sake of) flesh (and not as a sacrifice on the Day of Al-Adha). He said: I have a lamb of
six months. Thereupon he said: Offer it as a sacrifice, but it will not justify for anyone except you, and then
said: He who sacrificed (the animal) before ('Id) Prayer, he in fact slaughtered it for his own self, and he
who slaughtered after the Prayer, his ritual of sacrifice became complete and he in fact observed the
religious practice of the Muslims.

1137 - Anas (bin Malik), may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said on the Day of Nahr (Sacrifice): He who slaughtered (the animal as a sacrifice) before the ('Id)
Prayer, should repeat it (i.e. offer another animal). Thereupon a person stood up and said: Messenger of
Allah, that is the day when meat is much desired, and he also made a mention of the need of his neighbor,
and perhaps Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) attested it. He (the person who had sacrificed the
animal before the 'Id Prayer) said: I have a goat of less than one year of age with me and I like it more than
two fleshy goats; should I offer it as a sacrifice? He permitted him to do so. I do not know whether this
permission was granted to anyone else besides him or not. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
then turned towards two rams, and he slaughtered them, and the people came to the goats and got them
distributed among themselves (for offering them as sacrifice).

1138 - 'Uqbah bin 'Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) gave him ('Uqbah) the gifts of goats to be distributed among his Companions. They sacrificed them,
but a lamb of one year of age was left. He ('Uqbah) made a mention of that to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him), whereupon he said: You sacrifice it. Qutaibah narrated it with a slight difference of
wording.

1139 - Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
sacrificed with his own hands two horned rams which were white with black markings reciting the name of
Allah and glorifying Him (saying Allah-u-Akbar). He placed his foot on their sides (while sacrificing).

1140 - Rafi' bin Khadij, may Allah be pleased with him, is reported to have said: I said: Allah's Messenger,
we are going to encounter the enemy tomorrow, but we have no knives with us. Thereupon Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Make haste or be careful (in making arrangements for procuring
knives) which would let the blood flow (and along with it) the name of Allah is also to be recited. Then eat,
but not the tooth or nail. And I am going to tell you why it is not permissible to slaughter the animal with
the help of tooth and bone; and as for the nail, it is a bone, and the bone is the knife of Abyssinians. He (the
narrator) said: There fell to our lot as spoils of war camels and goats, and one of the camels among them
became wild. A person (among us) struck it with an arrow which brought it under control, whereupon
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: This camel became wild like wild animals, so if you find
any animal getting wild, you do the same with that.

1141 - 'Ali bin Abi Talib's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with him. Abu 'Ubaid reported: I was with 'Ali bin

beyond three days.

1142 - Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: None of you should eat the flesh of his sacrificial animal beyond three days.

(may peace be upon him) forbade (people) to eat the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three days.
'Abdullah bin Abi Bakr said: I made a mention of that to 'Amrah, whereupon she said: He has told the truth,
for I have heard 'A'ishah say: The poor among the people of the desert come (to the towns) on the occasion
of 'Id Al-Adha during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). Whereupon the
Messenger of Allah said: Retain with you (the flesh) sufficing for three (days), and whatever is left out of
that give in charity. After this, they (the Muslims) said: Allah's Messenger, the people make waterskins
with the (hides) of their sacrificial animals beyond three (days), whereupon he said: I forbade you for those
(poor persons) who flocked (to the towns on this occasion for greeting meat) but now when this occasion
has improved you may eat, preserve and give in charity.

1144 - Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade
eating of the flesh of sacrificed animals beyond three (days), but afterwards said: Eat, make a provision,
and keep it.

1145 - Salamah bin Al-Akwa', may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: He who sacrifices (animal) among you, nothing should be left in his house (out of its flesh)
on the morning of the third day. When it was the next year, they (his Companions) said: Should we do this
year as we did during the previous year? Thereupon he said: Do not do that, for that was a year when the
people were hard pressed (on account of poverty), so I wanted that the (flesh) might be distributed among
them.

1146 - Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: (The sacrifice of Al-Fara' and Al-'Atirah) has no (sanction in Islam). Ibn Rafi' made this addition
in his narration that Al-Fara' means the first-born young one of a camel.

1147 - 'Ali bin Abi Talib, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: There fell to my lot along with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) an old she-camel from the spoils of Badr. Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) granted me another camel. I made them kneel down one day at the door of one of the
Ansar, and I wanted to carry on them Idhkhir (a kind of grass) in order to sell that. There was with me a
goldsmith of the tribe of Qainuqa'. I sought to give a wedding feast (on the occasion of marriage with)
Fatimah with the help of that (the price accrued from the sale of this grass). And Hamzah bin 'Abdul-
Muttalib was busy drinking in that house in the company of a singing girl who was singing to him. She
said: Hamzah, get up for slaughtering the fat she-camels. Hamzah attacked them with the sword and cut off
their humps and ripped their haunches, and then took out their livers. I said to Ibn Shihab: Did he take out
any-thing from the hump? He said: He cut off the humps altogether. Ibn Shihab reported 'Ali having said: I
saw this (horrible) sight and it shocked me, and I came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and
there was Zaid bin Harithah with him and communicated to him this news. He came in the company of
Zaid and I also went along with him and he went to Hamzah and he expressed anger with him. Hamzah
raised his eyes and said: Are you (not) but the servants of my father? Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) turned back on his heels (on hearing this) until he went away from them.

1148 - Anas b Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: I was the cup-bearer of people in the house
of Abu Talhah on the day when liquor was forbidden. Their liquor had been prepared from dry dates or
fresh dates when the announcer made the announcement. He (Abu Talhah) said to me: Go out and find out
(what the announcement is). I got out (and found) an announcer making this announcement: Behold, liquor
has been declared unlawful. He said: The liquor (was spilt and) flowed in the lanes of Medina. Abu Talhah
said to me: Go out and spill it, and I spilt it. They said or some of them said: Such and such were killed,
such and such were killed for (the wine) had been in their stomachs. He (the narrator) said: I do not know
whether it is the narration transmitted by Anas (or by someone else). Then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic,
revealed: There shall be no sin (imputed) unto those who have believed and done good works for what they
may have eaten as long as they fear (Allah) and believe and do good works

Nabidh in gourd, or varnished jar.

be upon him) forbade (the preparation) of Nabidh in vessels, they said all the people cannot (afford to have)
them. He (the Holy Prophet) then granted them permission (to prepare) Nabidh in a green pitcher, but not
in those besmeared with pitch.

1155 - 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) was
asked about Al-Bit' (an intoxicant prepared from honey), whereupon he said: Every drink that causes
intoxication is forbidden.

while he is addicted to it, not having repented, will not be given a drink in the Hereafter.

1157 - Sahl bin Sa'd, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Abu Usaid Al-Sa'idi invited Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) to his wedding feast, and his wife had been serving them on that day
while yet a bride. Sahl said: Do you know what she served as drink to Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him)? She steeped the dates in water during the night in a big bowl, and when he (the Holy Prophet)
had eaten food she served him this drink.

1158 - Sahl bin Sa'd, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: A woman from the Arab was mentioned
before Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He commanded Abu Usaid to send a message to her
and he (accordingly) sent a message to her. She came and stayed in the fortresses of Banu Sa'idah. Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) went out until he came to her while she was (at that time) sitting with
her head downcast. When Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) talked to her, she said: I seek refuge
with Allah from you. Thereupon he said: I (have decided to) keep you away from me. They (the people
near her) said: Do you know who he is? She said: No. They said: He is Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him). He came to you in order to give you the proposal of marriage. She said: Then I am the most
unfortunate woman because of this (i.e. my defiance). Sahl said: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) then set forth on that day until he sat in the Saqifah of Banu Sa'idah along with his Companions. He
then said to Sahl: Serve us drink. He (Sahl) said: I brought out for them this bowl (containing drink) and
served them this.

Messenger (may peace be upon him) from Mecca to Medina, we passed by a shepherd and Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) was thirsty. He (Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq) said: I milked for him a small
quantity of milk (from his goat) and brought it to him (the Holy Prophet), and he drank it and I was very
happy.

1161 - Abu Humaid Al-Sa'idi, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: I came to Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) with a cup of milk from Al-Naqi' which had no cover over it, whereupon he said:
Why did not you cover it, even with a stick? Abu Humaid said: People have been commanded to cover
water vessels and to close doors at night.

1162 - Jabir bin 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: We were with Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) and he asked for water. A person said: Allah's Messenger, may we not give you
Nabidh to drink? He (the Holy Prophet) said: Yes (you may). Then that person went out speedily and
brought a cup containing Nabidh, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Why did
not you cover it, even with wood? He said that then he drank it.

1163 - Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
Cover vessels, tie up waterskins, close the doors and extinguish the lamps, for the Satan does not loosen the
waterskin, does not open the door and does not uncover the vessels. And if one among you fails to find
(something) to cover it well, he should cover it by placing (a piece of) wood across it, reciting the name of
Allah; for the mouse may set fire to the house over its residents.

1166 - 'Umar bin Abi Salamah, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: I was under the care of Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him), and as my hand used to roam about in the dish he said to me: Boy,
mention the name of Allah, and eat with your right hand and eat from what is near to you.

1167 - Abu Sa'id (Al-Khudri), may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) forbade from turning the waterskins upside down.

1168 - Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: I served (water of) Zamzam to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he drank it while standing.

1170 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: There was brought to Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) a cup of milk mixed with water, while there was on his right a desert Arab and on

who is on the right, then again who is on the right.

1171 - Sahl bin Sa'd Sa'idi, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) was given a drink, and he drank from that, and there was on his right side a boy, and on his left
some old men. He said to the boy: Do you permit me to give it to them (the old men), but that boy said: By
Allah, I will not give preference at your hand over me in my share. Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) then gave it in his hand.

1172 - Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: When anyone of you eats food he should not wipe his hand until he has licked it himself or has given
it to someone else to lick.

1173 - Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: A person from the Ansar who was
called Abu Shu'aib had a slave who was a butcher (by profession). He (Abu Mas'ud) saw Allah's Messenger
(may peace be upon him) and found signs of hunger on his face. He said to the servant: O ye, prepare for us
food sufficient for five persons, for I intend to invite Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) who
would be the fifth among the five. He (the narrator) reported that he then prepared the food and came to
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and invited all the five (including him) who was the fifth
among them to the feast. A man followed him and when Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
reached the door, he said: This man has followed us; if you like you may permit him (to join the meal) and
if you like he can go back. Thereupon the person said: Allah's Messenger, I permit him.

1174 - Jabir bin 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: While the digging of the Trench was
in progress, I saw Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) feeling very hungry. I came to my wife and
said to her: Is there anything with you? I have seen Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) feeling
extremely hungry. She brought out bag of provisions which contained a sa' of barley. We had also with us a
lamb. I slaughtered it. She ground the flour. She finished (this work) along with me. I cut it into pieces and
put it in the earthen pot and then returned to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) (for inviting him).
She said: Do not humiliate me in the presence of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and those
who are with him. When I came to him I whispered to him saying: Allah's Messenger, we have slaughtered
a lamb for you and she has ground a sa' of barley which we had with us. So you come along with a group of
people with you. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said loudly: O people of the
Trench, Jabir has arranged a feast for you, so (come along). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: Do not remove your earthen pot from the hearth and do not bake the bread from the kneaded flour
until I come. So I came and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came and he was ahead of the
people; and I came to my wife and she said (to me): You will be humbled. I said: I did what you had asked
me to do. She (my wife) said: I brought out the kneaded flour and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) put some saliva of his in that and blessed it. He then put saliva in the earthen pot and blessed it and
then said: Call another baker who can bake with you, and bring out the soup from it, but do not remove it
from the hearth, and the guests were one thousand. I take an oath by Allah that all of them ate (the food to
their fill) until they left it and went away and our earthen pot was brimming over as before, and so was the
case with our flour, or as Al-Dahhak (another narrator) said: It (the flour) was in the same condition and
loaves had been prepared from that.

1175 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Abu Talhah said to Umm Sulaim: I felt
some feebleness in the voice of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and perceived that it was due
to hunger; so have you any thing with you? She said: Yes. She brought out barley loaves, then took out a
head-covering of hers in a part of which she wrapped those loaves and then put them beneath my mantle
and covered me with a part of it. She then sent me to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). I set
forth and found Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) sitting in the mosque in the company of some
persons. I stood near them, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Has Abu Talhah
sent you? I said, Yes. He said: Is it for a feast? I said: Yes. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said to those who were with him to get up. He went forth and so I did before them, until I came
to Abu Talhah and informed him. Abu Talhah said: Umm Sulaim, here comes Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) along with people and we do not have enough (food) to feed them. She said: Allah and
His Messenger know best. Abu Talhah went out (to receive him) until he met Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) came forward along with him until
they both (Allah's Messenger, along with Abu Talhah) came in. Then Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: Umm Sulaim, bring forth that which you have with you. She brought the bread. Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded that the bread be broken into small pieces, and when
Umm Sulaim had squeezed a small waterskin and put seasoning on it, Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) recited what Allah wished him to say. He then said: Allow ten (guests to come in and have their
meals). He permitted them; they ate until they had their fill. They then went out. He (the Holy Prophet)
again said: Permit ten (more) and he (the host) gave permission to them. They ate until they had enough.
Then they went out. He again said: Permit ten (more) until all the people had eaten to their fill, and they
were seventy or eighty persons.
1176 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: A tailor invited Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) to a meal which he had prepared. Anas bin Malik said: I went along with Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) to that feast. He presented to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) barley bread and soup containing pumpkin, and sliced pieces of meat. Anas said: I saw Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) going after the pumpkin round the dish.

upon him) squatting and eating dates.

1179 - Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them reported: Jabalah bin Suhaim said: Ibn Al-Zubair used
to provide us with dates during the time that the people were hard pressed because of famine. As we were
busy eating, there happened to appear before us Ibn 'Umar. He said: Do not eat two dates together, for
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) forbade eating them together but only after seeking permission
from one's brother (partner).

1180 - Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) said: He who eats seven dates (of the land situated) between these two lava plains in the
morning, no poison will harm him until it is evening.

1181 - Sa'id bin Zaid bin 'Amr bin Nufail, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: I heard Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Truffles are a kind of Manna and their juice is a medicine
for the eyes.

1182 - Jabir bin 'Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: We were with the Messenger of
Allah (may peace be upon him) at Marr Al-Zhahran, and we were plucking the fruit of the Arak tree,
whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Pluck only its black ones (for they are the
most pleasant). We said: Allah's Messenger, it seems you shepherded the flock. He said: Yes. Has there
been a prophet who did not shepherd it?

1183 - Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: A person came to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) and said: I am hard pressed by hunger. He sent (a message) to one of his wives (to
procure food for him), but she said: By Him Who has sent you with Truth, there is nothing with me (to
serve him) but only water. He (the Holy Prophet) then sent the (same) message to another, and she gave the
same reply, until all of them gave the same reply: By Him Who has sent you with the Truth, there is
nothing with me but only water, whereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: Allah would show mercy to him
who will entertain this guest tonight. A person from the Ansar stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, I (am
ready to entertain). He took him to his house and said to his wife: Is there anything with you (to serve the
guest)? She said: No, but only a subsistence for our children. He said: Distract their attention with
something, and when the guest enters extinguish the lamp and give him the impression that we are eating.
So they sat down, and the guest had his meal. When it was morning he went to Allah's Messenger (may
peace be upon him) who said: Allah was well pleased with what you both did for your guest this night.

1184 - 'Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: We were one hundred and
thirty (persons) with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: Does anyone of you possess food? There was a person with (us) who had a sa' of flour or
something about that, and it was kneaded. Then a tall polytheist with disheveled hair came driving his flock
of sheep. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: Would you like to sell it (anyone of
these goats), or offer it as a gift or a present? He said: No, (I am not prepared to offer as a gift), but I would
sell it. He (the Holy Prophet) bought a sheep from him, and it was slaughtered and its meat was prepared,
and Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) commanded that its liver should be roasted. By Allah,
none among one hundred and thirty persons was left whom Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
had not given a part out of her liver; if anyone was present he gave it to him, but if he was absent it was set
aside for him. And he (the Holy Prophet) filled two bowls (one with soup and the other with mutton) and
we all ate out of them to our hearts' content, but (still) some part was (left) in (those) two bowls, and I
placed it on the camel (or words to the same effect).

1185 - 'Abdul-Rahman bin Abi Bakr, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: The people of Suffah were
very poor. Once Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said (to his Companions): He who among you
has food for two persons should take three (guests with him), and he who has with him food for four
persons should take five or six (guests with him for entertaining them). It was (in accordance with these
instructions of the Holy Prophet) that Abu Bakr brought three persons, and the Messenger of Allah (may
peace be upon him) brought ten persons (as guests to their respective houses). Abu Bakr had brought three
persons (he himself, and myself), my father and my mother (along with them). I do not know whether he
also said: My wife and one servant who was common between our house and that of Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr
had had his evening meal with Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He stayed here until the Night
Prayer had been offered. He then came back (to the house of Allah's Messenger) and stayed there until
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) felt drowsy and (Abu Bakr) then came (back to his own
house) when (a considerable) part of the night had been over, as Allah had desired. His wife said to him:
What held you back from your guests? He said: Oh! have you not served them the evening meal (by this
time)? She said: It was in fact served to them, but they refused to eat until you came. I slunk away and hid
myself. He (Abu Bakr) said: O you stupid fellow, and he reprimanded me, and said to his guests: Eat,
though it may not be pleasant now. He said: By Allah, I will never eat it. By Allah, we did not take a
morsel when from beneath that (there appeared) more until they had eaten to their fill, and lo! it was more
than what it was before. Abu Bakr saw that and found that it was so or than that. He said to his wife: Sister
of Banu Firas, what is this? She said: By the coolness of my eyes, it is in excess by three times over the
previous one. Then Abu Bakr ate saying: That was from the Satan (viz. his vow for not eating the food). He
then took a morsel out of that and then took it (the rest) to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon
him), and it was kept there until morning, and during (those days) there was a covenant between us and
some other people, and the period of covenant was over, and we had appointed twelve officials with every
person among them. It is Allah only Who knows as to how many people were there with each of them. He
sent (this food to them) and all of them ate out of it.

1186 - Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: Food for two persons suffices three persons and food for three persons suffices four persons.

1187 - Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: A non-Muslim eats in seven intestines whereas a Muslim eats in one intestine.

1188 - Abu Musa, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him)
said: A believer eats in one intestine, whereas a non-believer eats in seven intestines.

1189 - Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) never found fault with food (served to him). If he liked anything, he ate it and if he did not like it he
left it.

1190 - Umm Salamah, the wife of Allah's Messenger, may Allah be pleased with her, reported: Allah's
Messenger said: He who drinks in the vessel of silver in fact drinks down in his belly the Fire of Hell.

1191 - Al-Bara' bin 'Azib, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) commanded us to do seven things and forbade us to do seven (things). He commanded us to visit the
sick, to follow the funeral procession, to answer the sneezer, to fulfill the vow, to help the poor, to accept
the invitation and to greet everybody, and he forbade us to wear rings or gold rings, to drink in silver
(vessels), and to use the saddle cloth made of red silk, and to wear garments made of Qassi material, or
garments made of silk or brocade and velvet.

1192 - Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said:
Do not drink in gold and silver vessels, and do not wear brocade or silk, for these are meant for them (the
non-believers) in the world, but they are meant for you in the Hereafter on the Day of Resurrection.
1193 - Ibn 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with them, reported: 'Umar bin Al-Khattab saw (someone selling)
a garment of silk at the door of the mosque, whereupon he said: Allah's Messenger, would that you buy it
and wear it for the people on Friday and for (receiving) the delegations when they come to you? Upon this,
Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: He who wears it has no share (of reward) in the
Hereafter. Then these garments were sent to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him), and he presented
one of these silk garments to 'Umar. Thereupon 'Umar said: You make me wear (this silk garment) whereas
you said about the silk garment of 'Utarid (the person who had been busy selling this garment at the door of
the mosque) what you had to say, whereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said: I have not
presented you this for wearing it (but to make use of its price); so 'Umar presented it to his polytheist
brother in Mecca.

1194 - 'Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger was presented a silk garment. He,
the Holy Prophet, sent it to me. I wore it. I knew that the Prophet was angry. He (the Holy Prophet) said to
'Ali: I have not sent it to you to wear it, but I sent it to you so that you may tear it and make head coverings
for your ladies.

1195 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) sent a silk gown to 'Umar, whereupon 'Umar said: You sent it to me whereas you said what you had to
say (i.e. it is forbidden for men). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: I did not send it to you so that you
might wear it, but I sent it to you so that you might derive benefit from its price.

1196 - Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said:
He who wore silk in this world would not wear it in the Hereafter.

1197 - 'Uqbah bin 'Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, said: A silk gown was presented to Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him) and he wore it and observed the Prayer in it, and then returned and put
it off so violently as if he despised it. He then said: It does not befit the Allah-fearing persons.

1198 - Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) had granted concession to 'Abdul-Rahman bin 'Auf and Al-Zubair bin Al-'Awwam for the wearing of
a silk shirt during the journey because of itch which they both had or any other disease from which both of
them had been suffering.

1199 - Anas bin Malik's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with him. Qatadah reported: We asked Anas bin
Malik which garment did Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) love or like (to wear). He said: The
mantle of Yemen.

1200 - 'A'ishah's Hadith, may Allah be pleased with her. Abu Burdah reported: I visited 'A'ishah and she
brought out for us the coarse lower garment (of Allah's Messenger) made in Yemen and clothes made out
of the Mulabbadah cloth and she swore in the name of Allah that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) died in these two clothes.
