It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral passed in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and someone praised the deceased, and the people praised him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said three times, "It has become obligatory." Then another funeral passed, and the people spoke ill of the deceased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said three times, "It has become obligatory." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you! When the first funeral passed and the people praised the deceased, you said three times, 'It has become obligatory,' and when the second funeral passed and the people spoke ill of the deceased, you again said three times, 'It has become obligatory'?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever you praise, Paradise becomes obligatory for him, and whoever you speak ill of, Hell becomes obligatory for him." Then he said three times, "You are Allah's witnesses on earth."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral passed by in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Someone praised the deceased, and the people praised him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It has become obligatory." Then another funeral passed by, and the people spoke ill of the deceased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It has become obligatory." The people asked, "You said 'It has become obligatory' for both; what is the reason for this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This is the testimony of the people, and the Muslims are Allah's witnesses on earth."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the Fajr prayer at Khyber in the darkness of early morning, and after saying Allahu Akbar, he said: "Khyber is destroyed! When we descend into the courtyard of a people, then the morning of those who have been warned is the worst." At that time, the people had come out for their work. They began to say, "Muhammad and his army have arrived." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) conquered Khyber, killed their fighting men, and took their children as captives. Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) came into the share of Hazrat Dihyah (may Allah be pleased with him), but later she came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set her free and married her, and her freedom was considered her dowry.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a ring made of silver for himself and said: We have had a ring made and have engraved on it the inscription "Muhammad Rasul Allah" (Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah), therefore no one should engrave this inscription on his ring.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person submitted in the court of the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! When will we abandon enjoining good and forbidding evil?" He replied, "When those things appear among you which had appeared among the Children of Israel: when indecency becomes prevalent among your elders, authority is given to the young, and knowledge is in the hands of the lowly."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey and the camel driver was urging on the mounts of the Mothers of the Believers. He began to drive the animals quickly, upon which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said with a smile, "Anjasha! Be gentle with the glass vessels."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we went out from Madinah Munawwarah with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to perform two rak'ahs (for prayers) until the return. The narrator says that I asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) how many days did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stay during this journey? He replied: ten days.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that we set out for Makkah Mukarramah with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reciting the Talbiyah for Hajj and Umrah together, as he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was saying: "Labbaik Umrah wa Hajjan."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that I and Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) were returning from Khaybar. Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) was riding behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). At one place, the camel of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slipped, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) fell down. Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) quickly reached there and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! May Allah sacrifice me for you, have you been hurt?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "No, take care of the lady." So Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) covered his face with a cloth and went to her and covered Hazrat Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) with a cloth. After that, the ride was prepared again, then all of us mounted, and one of us surrounded her from the right side and the other from the left side. When we reached near Madinah Munawwarah or on the rocky outskirts, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: (آيِبُونَ عَابِدُونَ تَائِبُونَ لِرَبِّنَا حَامِدُونَ) "We are returning, worshipping, repenting, and praising our Lord." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept repeating these words until we entered Madinah Munawwarah.
