Hazrat Ibn ‘As (may Allah be pleased with him) and Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) were assigned to write the Qur’anic manuscripts. While writing, when they reached this verse, Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recite this verse: "When any married man or woman commits adultery, then in any case, stone them." Upon this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said that when this verse was revealed, I was present before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and requested that this verse be written for me (but the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, did not consider it appropriate). Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) further said that in the words of this verse, see the word "Shaikh"; if any Shaikh (elderly man) is not married, then he is to be flogged, and if any young man, after being married, commits adultery, then he is to be stoned.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that a wolf snatched away a goat, but the people rescued it and slaughtered it with a sharp stone. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted them to eat it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After eating something cooked on fire, perform fresh ablution.

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for the Battle of Uhud, some people from the army turned back on the way. The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) became divided into two groups regarding them: one group was of the opinion that they should be killed, and the second group said no. Upon this, the following verse was revealed: "What is the matter with you that you have become two groups concerning the hypocrites?" And the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Medina is pure; it expels filth just as fire removes the impurities of silver."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were commanded to say Subhan Allah thirty-three times, Alhamdulillah thirty-three times, and Allahu Akbar thirty-four times after every obligatory prayer. Then an Ansari saw a dream in which someone asked him, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) command you to recite these tasbihat in this way after every prayer?" He replied, "Yes!" The person said, "Recite them twenty-five times each, and add twenty-five times La ilaha illallah to them." When morning came, he mentioned this dream to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do it in this way."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to write down revelation for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). (One day, I was sitting beside the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when revelation began to descend and tranquility started to prevail. At that time, the thigh of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was upon my thigh. By Allah! I have never felt anything heavier than that. Then, when this state ended,) the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said (to me), "Zaid! Write." (I picked up a shoulder blade and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Write this verse:") "Those among the Muslims who sit back, not engaging in jihad, and those who strive in the way of Allah are not equal." (I wrote it down.) Hazrat Abdullah bin Umm Maktum (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this verse and came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I love to strive in the way of Allah, but my disability is before you and I have lost my sight. O Messenger of Allah! What about the person who cannot participate in jihad, such as the blind, etc.? What should he do?" (By Allah! He had not yet finished his words when tranquility again descended upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his thigh came upon my thigh,) and its weight was so much on me that I feared it would break (until that state ended), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Write: 'Those among the Muslims who sit back, except those who are disabled and compelled, and those who strive in the way of Allah are not equal.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made a tent out of a mat in the mosque and prayed in it for several nights, until people also began to gather. After a few days, the voice of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not heard, so people thought that perhaps the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had fallen asleep. Therefore, some people went near and started coughing so that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come out. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I was continuously observing your action until I feared that this prayer (Tahajjud) might become obligatory upon you, because if this prayer becomes obligatory upon you, you will not be able to adhere to it. Therefore, O people! Pray in your homes, for apart from the obligatory prayers, praying other prayers at home is the best for a person."

It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah's curse be upon the Jews, for they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration."
