It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a she-camel named "Adhba" which had never been left behind by anyone. Once, a Bedouin came on his camel and surpassed her. This was very hard on the Muslims. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) noticed the expressions on their faces. Then the people themselves said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Adhba has been left behind." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is Allah's right that whatever He raises in this world, He also lowers it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the prayer was established, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us and said, "Straighten your rows and stand close together, for I see you from behind me as well."

Humaid says that a person asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the night prayer of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he replied: "We could see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) praying at whatever time of the night we wished to see him praying, and if we intended to see him sleeping, we could see him sleeping as well. Similarly, in some months the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would fast continuously to the extent that we would think he would not leave any fast, and at other times he would leave fasting to the extent that we would say perhaps now the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will not fast anymore."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to be very happy when a Bedouin would come and ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a question. So once a Bedouin came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! When will the Hour (Day of Judgment) be established?" At that time, the Iqamah had been pronounced, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to lead the prayer. After finishing the prayer, he said, "Where is the one who asked about the Hour?" He said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I am here." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What preparation have you made for the Hour?" He said, "I have not prepared many good deeds, prayers, or fasts, but I do have this much: I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A person will be with the one whom he loves on the Day of Judgment." Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I have never seen the Muslims as happy as they were on that day after accepting Islam."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the time for prayer approached, at that time there was some bitterness between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the pure wives, and the pure wives were defending each other. Meanwhile, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Put dust in their mouths and come outside for prayer."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: None of you should wish for death because of a calamity that has befallen him. If wishing for death becomes necessary, then he should say: O Allah! Keep me alive as long as life is better for me, and grant me death when death is better for me.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) did not keep many voluntary fasts during the blessed lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but after the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) passing, he would not leave fasting in any circumstance except for travel or illness.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was residing, he would observe i'tikaf during the last ten days of Ramadan, and when he was traveling, he would observe i'tikaf for twenty days the following year.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was going somewhere with some of his companions (may Allah be pleased with them). On the way, there was a child lying on the ground. When his mother saw the people, she feared that the child might be trampled under their feet, so she ran, crying out, "My son, my son," and picked him up. The people said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! This woman can never throw her son into the fire." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) silenced them and said, "Allah will also never throw His friend into the fire."

Humaid says that a person asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to raise his hands in supplication. He replied 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 land has become dry, and wealth is being destroyed." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands so high that I could see the whiteness of his blessed armpits, 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, there was no cloud visible in the sky, and when he finished supplicating, the young men living in nearby houses had difficulty returning 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) smiled at the impatience of the son of Adam and prayed to Allah, "O Allah! Let this rain fall around us, not upon us." Thus, the rain moved away from Madinah.
