The Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) to demand his camel. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said to the companions:“Find a camel of the same age as his and bring it.”The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) searched but could not find a camel of the required age; every camel was older than that. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“Then give him an older camel. The best among you is the one who is best in repaying debts.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him) or his son passed by me; they had been appointed for the collection of zakat.

Zakat is forbidden for Muhammad and the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the freed slave of a people is counted among them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Imam Hussain (may Allah be pleased with him) was born, his mother Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) wanted to perform his ‘aqiqah with two rams. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Do not perform his ‘aqiqah yet, rather shave his head and give silver in charity equal to the weight of his hair in the way of Allah. Then, upon the birth of Hazrat Hussain (may Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) did the same (and the ‘aqiqah was performed by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself).

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me:“Go and call Maimunah to me.”I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! I am included in the army. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) repeated his statement, and I again presented my excuse. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Do you not like what I like?”I said: Why not, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Go and call her to me.”So I went and called her.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) gave birth to Hazrat Husain bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them), I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) himself gave the call to prayer (adhan) in his ear.

Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited all his noble wives in a single day, and after being with each one, he performed ghusl (ritual bath). Someone asked: O Messenger of Allah! If you had performed ghusl only once (would there have been any harm)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied that this method is more pure, excellent, and clean.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me:“O Abu Rafi’! Kill all the dogs found in Madinah.”He says that I saw some women of the Ansar in Jannat al-Baqi’ with some trees, and those women also had dogs with them. They said:“O Abu Rafi’! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) has sent our men for jihad. After Allah, only these dogs protect us, and by Allah, no one dares to come near us. Even when any one of us women stands up, these dogs become a barrier between her and the people. Therefore, mention this matter to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).”So, I mentioned this matter to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Abu Rafi’! Kill them; Allah Himself will protect the women.”
