It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Thalabah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed his hand over his face, and he saw Hazrat Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) performing one rak’ah of Witr, to which he would not add anything, until he would wake up at midnight.

It is narrated from an Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the time of ignorance, the practice of "Qasamah" was prevalent. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) maintained it in the same manner as it was in the time of ignorance, and in the case of some Ansar—who belonged to Banu Harithah and had made a claim against the Jews—the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same ruling.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Thalabah (may Allah be pleased with him), upon whose face the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand, and who met the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that people used to prevent me from kissing my wife, fearing that I might go further than that. Now, today, other Muslims are also being prevented from this, and people say that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a special protection from Allah which no one else had.
