It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people became Muslim, but the climate of Madinah did not suit them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, "If you go to our camels and drink their milk, perhaps you will recover." So they did so, but when they became healthy, they reverted to disbelief and turned back to kufr. They killed the Muslim shepherd of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and drove away the camels of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent companions after them, they were captured and brought before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered their hands and feet to be cut off from opposite sides, their eyes to be branded with hot irons, and they were left in rocky areas until they died.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out after the decline of the sun, led the Zuhr prayer, and after saying salam, stood on the pulpit and mentioned the Day of Judgment: and also that before it, very important matters will occur. Then he said, "Whoever wants to ask any question, let him ask. By Allah! Whatever you ask me about, as long as I am standing here, I will surely answer you." Hearing this, the people began to weep and wail in abundance, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept repeating, "Ask me." So a man stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Where will I enter?" He replied, "In Hell." Abdullah bin Hudhafah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Your father is Hudhafah." Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) knelt down and began to say, "We are pleased and content with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as our Prophet." Hearing this from Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became silent. After a little while, he said, "By Him in Whose hand is my soul, Paradise and Hell have just been presented before me in the width of this wall, while I was praying. I have never seen a day of good and evil like today."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perform bowing and prostration completely, for by Allah, I see you even from behind my back."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no reality in bad omens, but I like optimism. Someone asked, O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by optimism? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A good word.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a Bedouin came and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! When will the Hour be established?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What preparation have you made for the Hour?" He said, "Love for Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You will be with those whom you love." Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that after becoming Muslim, I never saw the people as happy as I saw them on that day.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that on the Day of Resurrection I will be standing, waiting for my Ummah so that they may cross the Bridge of Sirat, when in the meantime Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) will come to me and say, "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! All the Prophets (peace be upon them) have gathered together and come to you so that you may supplicate to Allah to disperse this crowd of nations wherever He wills and send them to their abodes, because the people are in great distress." At that time, everyone will have the reins of sweat in their mouths. For the Muslim, it will be like a cold, and for the disbeliever, it will be like the agony of death. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will say to them, "You wait for me here, I will come to you soon." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) will go and stand under the Throne, and he will be granted a rank which will not be given to any chosen angel or sent Prophet. Then Allah Almighty will send this message to Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) that go to Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and say to him, "Raise your head, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be accepted." Thus, my intercession regarding my Ummah will be accepted that out of every ninety-nine, one person will be taken out of Hell. But I will continue to insist with my Lord and will not leave from there until my intercession is accepted, until Allah Almighty grants me the acceptance of this intercession and says, "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Take out from Hell every person among your Ummah who testified with sincerity to 'La ilaha illallah' even for one day and died upon it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I requested the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to intercede for me on the Day of Judgment. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I will do so." I asked, "Where should I look for you on the Day of Judgment?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "First, look for me at the Bridge of Sirat." I said, "If I do not find you there?" He said, "Then I will be at the Scale of deeds." I said, "If I do not find you there either?" He said, "Then I will be at the Pond of Kawthar, and on the Day of Judgment, I will not go beyond these three places."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man addressed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, "O best of creation." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "That was indeed Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah, he found that there were two days in which the people used to celebrate festivals since the days of ignorance. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah has given you better days than these in exchange—Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

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 apply dye. He replied that there were only seventeen or twenty white hairs in the front part of the blessed beard of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and old age did not bring any defect upon him. Someone asked, "Is old age a defect?" He replied, "Each one of you considers it undesirable." However, Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) used to apply a dye of henna and katam, while Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) used only henna as dye.
