A woman came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) while we were with him.
She said: Apostle of Allah,
my husband, safwan ibn al-Mu'attal, beats me when I pray,
and makes me break my fast when I keep a fast,
and he does not offer the dawn prayer until the sun rises.
He asked safwan, who was present, about what she had said.
He replied:
Apostle of Allah, as for her statement "he beats me when I pray", she recites two surahs (during prayer) and I have prohibited her (to do so).
He (the Prophet) said: If one surah is recited (during prayer), that is sufficient for the people.
(safwan continued As regards her saying "he makes me break my fast," she dotes on fasting; I am a young man, I cannot restrain myself.
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said on that day: A woman should not fast except with the permission of her husband.
(safwan said As for her statement that I do not pray until the sun rises, we are a people belonging to a class,
and that (our profession of supplying water) is already known about us. We do not awake until the sun rises.
He said: When you awake, offer your prayer.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said,
Many men reached perfection but none among the women reached perfection except
mary, the daughter of ' Imran,
and Asia, Pharoah's wife.
And the superiority of 'Aisha to other women is like the superiority of Tharid to other kinds of food.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said,
When any human being is born.
satan touches him at both sides of the body with his two fingers,
except jesus, the son of Mary, whom satan tried to touch but failed,
for he touched the placenta-cover instead.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said,
No child is born except on Al-Fitra (Islam) and then his parents make him jewish, Christian or Magian,
as an animal produces a perfect young animal: do you see any part of its body amputated?"
Then he rec
'The religion of pure Islamic Faith (Hanifa),(i.e. to worship none but Allah),
The pure Allah's Islamic nature with which He (Allah) has created mankind.
Let There be no change in Allah's religion (i.e. to join none in Allah's worship).
That is the straight religion; but most of men know not.
Once the Prophet went through the grave-yards of Medina and heard the voices of two humans who were being tortured in their graves.
The Prophet said,
"They are being punished, but they are not being punished because of a major sin, yet their sins are great.
One of them used not to save himself from (being soiled with) the urine,
and the other used to go about with calumnies (Namima).
Then the Prophet asked for a green palm tree leaf and split it into two pieces and placed one piece on each grave, saying,
"I hope that their punishment may be abated as long as these pieces of the leaf are not dried.
The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) said,
If anyone says in the morning or in the evening:
"O Allah! in the morning we call Thee,
the bearers of Thy Throne,
Thy angels
and all Thy creatures
to witness that thou art Allah (God) than Whom alone there is no god,
and that Muhammad is Thy Servant and Apostle,"
Allah will emancipate his fourth from Hell;
if anyone says twice, Allah will emancipate his half;
if anyone says it thrice, Allah will emancipate three-fourth;
and if he says four times, Allah will emancipate him from Hell.
"The people became very thirsty on the day of Al-Hudaibiya (Treaty).
A small pot containing some water was in front of the Prophet and when he had finished the ablution, the people rushed towards him.
He asked, 'What is wrong with you?'
They replied, 'We have no water either for performing ablution or for drinking except what is present in front of you.'
So he placed his hand in that pot and the water started flowing among his fingers like springs.
We all drank and performed ablution (from it)."
I asked Jabir, "How many were you?"
he replied, "Even if we had been one-hundred-thousand, it would have been sufficient for us, but we were fifteen-hundred."
