It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once on a Friday, people said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The rain has stopped, the lands have become dry, and the wealth is being destroyed." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands so high that the whiteness of his blessed armpits became visible, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky, but when the prayer was finished, the young men living in nearby houses found it difficult to return to their homes. When the next Friday came, people said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The buildings of the houses have collapsed and the riders have been forced to stop outside Madinah." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed to Allah: "O Allah! Let this rain fall around us, not upon us." Thus, the rain moved away from Madinah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the arrival of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Madinah Munawwarah, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the presence of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I will ask you three things which no one knows except a Prophet." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Ask." He said, "What is the very first sign of the Day of Judgment? What will be the very first food of the people of Paradise? And how does a child resemble its parents?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Just now Jibreel has informed me of their answers." Abdullah said, "He is the enemy of the Jews among the angels." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The very first sign of the Day of Judgment will be a fire that will emerge from the East and gather all the people in the West. The very first food of the people of Paradise will be the liver of fish. As for the resemblance of a child to its parents, if the man's 'fluid' prevails over the woman's fluid, he draws the child towards himself, and if the woman's fluid prevails over the man's, she draws the child towards herself." Upon hearing this, Abdullah said, "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and you are the Messenger of Allah." Then he said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The Jews are a people who fabricate slanders. If they come to know of my acceptance of Islam, they will accuse me of all sorts of things before you. Therefore, send for them and ask them about me before they know of my Islam: 'What kind of man is Ibn Salam among you?'" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent for them and asked, "What kind of man is Abdullah bin Salam among you?" They replied, "He is the best among us and the son of the best, our scholar and the son of a scholar, the greatest jurist among us and the son of the greatest jurist." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if he accepts Islam, will you also accept Islam?" They said, "May Allah protect him from that." At this, Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) came out and recited the testimony of faith before them. Upon hearing this, they said, "He is the worst among us and the son of the worst, the most ignorant among us and the son of the most ignorant." Hazrat Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I had already informed you that the Jews are a people who fabricate slanders."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a neighbor who was from Persia, and he used to cook very good curry. One day he cooked food for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and came to invite him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) indicated towards Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said, "She will be with me." He refused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also refused to go with him, and he left. He came back three times in the same way, and finally, he agreed to let Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) come along as well. Thus, both of them went to his house, walking one after the other.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, during the night, Hazrat Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abbad bin Bishr (may Allah be pleased with him) were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) discussing some matter. During this, a large part of the night passed and it was very dark. When they left the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and set out, one of them had a staff in his hand. The staff of one of them became illuminated, and they began to walk in its light. When both of them parted ways, the other's staff also became illuminated.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the Battle of Badr, Hazrat Haritha (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a young boy, went out for a walk. On the way, a sudden arrow from somewhere struck him and he was martyred. His mother presented herself in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You know how much I loved Haritha. If he is in Paradise, I will be patient, otherwise, you will see what I do." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Umm Haritha! Paradise is not just one; there are many Paradises, and Haritha is in the highest and most excellent Paradise among them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says, "If My servant comes near to Me by a span, I come near to him by a cubit; and if he comes near to Me by a cubit, I come near to him by a fathom; and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying—I do not know whether it was a verse or the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)—that if the son of Adam had two valleys full of gold, he would desire a third, and nothing fills the mouth of the son of Adam except the dust of the grave. And whoever repents, Allah accepts his repentance.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you can be a believer until he likes for his brother or neighbor what he likes for himself.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you can be a believer until he likes for his brother or neighbor what he likes for himself, and if he loves anyone, he should love him only for the sake of Allah's pleasure.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer two white, horned rams as sacrifice, and he would mention the name of Allah and say Takbeer. I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would slaughter them with his own hand and would place his foot on their side.
