It is narrated from Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was afflicted with his final illness, he would repeatedly cover his blessed face with a sheet. When he (peace and blessings be upon him) felt discomfort, we would remove the sheet from his face. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying, "May Allah curse the Jews and Christians; they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration." Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that in fact, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was warning people against this act so that they would not fall into it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began in the house of Hazrat Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sought permission from his pure wives to spend the days of his illness in my house, and all of them granted permission. Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) left from there supported by Hazrat Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) and another man (according to the narrator, he was Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) did not consider it necessary to mention his name). At that time, the blessed feet of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were dragging on the ground as he walked. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had already told Hazrat Abdullah bin Zam’ah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the house of Hazrat Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) to tell the people to perform the prayer. Abdullah was returning when he met Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the way. He told Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Umar! Lead the people in prayer." So he began to lead the prayer. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard the voice of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), he immediately recognized it because his voice was loud. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Is this not Umar's voice?" The people replied, "Yes, it is." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah and the believers do not accept this. Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is a soft-hearted man; he will not be able to control his tears, because whenever Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) recited the Holy Qur'an, he would begin to weep." And I only said this so that people would not start saying about Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was the first man to stand in the place of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and thus become sinful. But the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "Tell Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer." When I repeated my request, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same command and said, "You are like the women who were infatuated with Yusuf (peace be upon him) (who concealed something in their hearts and expressed something else with their tongues)."

Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman says that once my father and I went to the service of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and Hazrat Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), so both of them said: Sometimes the Prophet (peace be upon him) would be in a state in the morning in which ghusl (ritual bath) was obligatory, and then he would also fast.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in bowing and prostration: Subbuhun Quddusun Rabbul Malaikati war-Ruh.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I used to scrape off the traces of semen from the clothes of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so when you see it, wash the cloth, otherwise sprinkle water over it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that in the last part of his life, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to frequently say: "Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi, astaghfirullah wa atubu ilayk." Once I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! I hear you reciting these words frequently, what is the reason for this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "My Lord had informed me that I would see a sign in my Ummah, and He commanded me that when I see that sign, I should glorify Allah with His praise and seek His forgiveness, for He is Most Accepting of repentance. And I have seen that sign." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the entire Surah: "Iza ja'a nasrullahi wal fath."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the verses of my exoneration were revealed, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood on the pulpit and, mentioning this incident, recited the Holy Qur'an. And when he descended, he gave orders regarding two men and one woman, so they were punished.

Nafi', whose wife was the umm walad of Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), his wife says that once Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) bought a slave girl on the way to Makkah Mukarramah and, after freeing her, ordered her to accompany him for Hajj. Shoes were sought for her, but they could not be found, so he cut the socks below the ankles and made her wear those. Later, Safiyyah bint Abi Ubaid informed them that Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) had narrated to her this hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to permit women to wear socks, so he stopped doing that.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to send sacrificial animals from Madinah Munawwarah to Makkah Mukarramah, and I used to braid the collars of the Prophet’s sacrificial animals with my own hands. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stay among us as a non-muhrim until the animals reached Makkah Mukarramah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that regarding this verse "The Day when the earth will be changed to another earth..." , I was the first to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about it. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! (When the earth is changed) where will the people be at that time?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "On the Bridge of Sirat."
