It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that during the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), some people came to visit him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in prayer while sitting, and the people began to pray standing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured to them to sit down, and after finishing the prayer, he said: "The Imam is appointed so that he may be followed. When he bows, you should also bow; when he raises his head, you should also raise your heads; and when he prays sitting, you should also pray sitting."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that a man said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "My mother’s soul has been taken, and I think that if she could speak, she would have instructed to give some charity. If I give charity on her behalf, will she receive its reward?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!"

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that Hazrat Umm Habibah and Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with them) once mentioned a church which they had seen in Abyssinia and in which there were pictures. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: When a righteous man among those people would die, they would build a mosque over his grave and make these pictures there. They will be the worst of creatures in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once during his final illness, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Call some of my companions to me." I said, "Abu Bakr?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No." I said, "Umar?" He said, "No." I said, "Umar?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I call Uthman?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!" When he came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me to move away from there and began to speak to him in whispers. During this, the color of Hazrat Uthman's (may Allah be pleased with him) face kept changing. Then, when Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) was besieged on the day of the house, we said to him, "O Leader of the Believers! Why do you not fight?" He replied, "No, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a covenant from me, and I will remain steadfast upon it."

Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reached near the springs of Banu Amir at night, the dogs there started barking. Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) asked, "Which spring is this?" People informed her that it was the spring of Haw'ab. Upon hearing its name, she said, "I think I should return from here." One of her companions said, "You should keep going; when the Muslims see you, perhaps Allah will bring about reconciliation among them through you." She replied, "Once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to us: 'What will be the condition of one of you when the dogs of Haw'ab will bark at her?'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order the killing of those snakes which have a cut tail or are two-striped, because such snakes cause blindness and cause miscarriages in women.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that people used to bring their children to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray for them. Once, a child was brought and he urinated on the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Pour water over it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the details of the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) ritual bath (ghusl) after impurity are as follows: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would first wash both his hands, then perform ablution (wudu) as for prayer, then run his fingers through the roots of his hair, and when he was sure that his hand had reached the skin, he would pour water three times, then pour water over the rest of his body.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I never saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the night prayer while sitting. However, when the blessed body of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became heavy, he would perform as much prayer as Allah willed while sitting, and when thirty or forty verses of the surah remained, he would stand up, recite them, and then go into prostration.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought a prisoner to my place. I got busy with the women and became heedless, and the prisoner ran away. After a short while, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned and asked, "Where is the prisoner?" I replied, "I was busy with the women and became heedless, and during that time he ran away." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "May your hands be broken! What have you done?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went outside and announced among the people about the prisoner. People went out in search of him and brought him back. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, and I was turning my hands over and looking at them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What has happened to you? Have you gone mad?" I replied, "You had cursed me, so I am turning my hands over and looking to see which of them will break." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands for supplication, and after praising and glorifying Allah, he said, "O Allah! I am also a human being, and like other human beings, I also get angry. So, for any believing man or woman whom I have cursed, make it a means of purification and cleansing for them."
