It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: There is no believing man or woman on the face of the earth who does not love me. He was asked: O Abu Hurayrah! How do you know this? He said: I used to invite my mother to Islam but she would refuse. One day I invited her and she said something offensive about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that I found deeply hurtful. I came weeping to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I used to call my mother to Islam but she would refuse; today I invited her and she said something about you that I dislike. So, O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah that He guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah to Islam. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for her. I went back to my mother carrying the glad tidings of the supplication of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I reached the door, it was closed. My mother sensed the sound of my coming, so she put on her clothes, covered her head with her scarf and said: O Abu Hurayrah! Stay where you are. Then she opened the door for me, and when I entered she called out: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." I went back again to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), weeping from joy just as I had wept before from grief, and I said: O Messenger of Allah! Rejoice, Allah has answered your supplication and has guided the mother of Abu Hurayrah. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah that He make me and my mother beloved to His believing servants, and make the believers beloved to us. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: 'Allahumma habbib 'ubaydaka hadha wa ummahu ila 'ibadika al-mu'minin, wa habbibhum ilayhima' (O Allah! Make this little servant of Yours and his mother beloved to Your believing servants, and make the believers beloved to them both). So now there is no believing man or woman on earth who does not love me and whom I do not love. The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdul Rahman bin Abi Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man used to sit in the gathering of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said something, he would (in mockery) make strange movements with his face and pull faces. Seeing this behaviour of his, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Kun kadhalik (Become like that)." So that man remained afflicted with that twitching and distortion of the face (a palsied state) until the day he died. The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jew who was called Jurayjirah was owed some dinars (as a debt) by the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He demanded payment from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Jew! I have nothing with me to give you." He said: O Muhammad! I will not leave you until you give me my due. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If that is so, then I will sit with you." So he (peace and blessings be upon him) sat with him, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed the Zuhr, Asr, Maghrib, Isha and morning (Fajr) prayers in that very place. The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) were threatening and intimidating him. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became aware of this and said: "What are you doing to him?" They said: O Messenger of Allah! Should a Jew hold you back?! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Lord has forbidden me to wrong anyone under covenant (mu'ahad) or anyone else." When the day had risen, the Jew said: 'Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah wa ashhadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh' (I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and His Messenger), and half of my wealth is in the way of Allah. By Allah! I did all this with you only so that I could see your attributes that are mentioned in the Torah: "Muhammad bin Abdullah, whose birth will be in Makkah, his place of emigration in Taybah (Madinah), and his dominion in Sham. He is neither harsh nor hard-hearted, nor one who shouts in the marketplaces, nor one given to obscenity and foul speech." I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that you are indeed the Messenger of Allah. This is my wealth; now judge concerning it as Allah shows you. And that Jew was very wealthy. Chapter on the emigration to Abyssinia: It is established through successive reports that when Abu Talib, the uncle of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), died, he (peace and blessings be upon him) and the Muslims suffered great harm from the polytheists after his death. So when they were put to trial and their clans cut them off, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them: "Disperse," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards the land of Abyssinia. It was a warm land to which Quraysh used to travel in winter. This was the first emigration in Islam, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his Companions to go to the Negus only because of his justice.
