Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the toilet (bathroom). I placed water for ablution for him. (When he came out) he asked: Who placed this? When he was informed, he said: O Allah! Grant him understanding of the religion.

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): During the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), whenever anyone saw a dream, he would relate it to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and he would interpret it. I also wished in my heart that I would see a dream and relate it to the Prophet (peace be upon him). I was still a young man and used to sleep in the mosque during the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him). So I saw in a dream that two angels took me and led me towards Hell. I saw that Hell was enclosed like a well (i.e., it had a rim like that of a well), and it had two sides. In Hell, I saw many people whom I recognized. I began to say: I seek refuge with Allah from Hell! Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that then an angel met us and said to me: Do not be afraid. I related this dream to (my sister) Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), and she related it to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him). In its interpretation, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Abdullah is a very good boy. If only he would pray at night! (The narrator said that after this statement of the Prophet, peace be upon him) Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) used to sleep very little at night.

Umm Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with her) narrated: I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Anas is your servant, so supplicate to Allah for him." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated: "O Allah! Increase him in wealth and children, and bless him in what You have given him."

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) confided a secret to me, and I did not disclose that secret to anyone. Even when Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) (his mother) asked me about it, I did not tell her either.

Hazrat Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I did not hear from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about anyone except Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him) that he is among the people of Paradise. Hazrat Sa'd narrated that the verse (And a witness from the Children of Israel testified) (__QUR_46_10__) was revealed about him.

Qais bin ‘Abadah narrated that I was sitting in the Prophet’s Mosque when an elderly man entered the mosque, on whose face were visible signs of humility and devotion. The people said: This elder is among the people of Paradise. Then he performed two short rak‘ahs of prayer and left. I followed him and said: When you entered the mosque, the people said that this elder is among the people of Paradise. Upon this, he said: By God! It is not appropriate for anyone to utter such a thing about someone of which he has no knowledge, and I will tell you why this is so. In the time of the Prophet (peace be upon him), I saw a dream and related it to the Prophet (peace be upon him). In my dream, it was as if I was in a garden, and then he described its vastness and its green fields. In the middle of this garden was an iron pillar, its lower part in the ground and its upper part in the sky, and at its top was a dense tree. I was told: Climb up it. I said: I do not have the strength. Then a servant came and lifted my clothes from behind, so I climbed up, and when I reached its top, I grabbed hold of that dense tree. I was told: Hold this tree firmly with all your strength. While I was holding it with my hand, I woke up. When I related this dream to the Prophet (peace be upon him), he said: The garden you saw is Islam, and the pillar in it is the pillar of Islam, and the ‘urwa (the dense tree) is the ‘urwatul-wuthqa (the firmest handhold), so you will remain steadfast on Islam until your death. This elder was Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him).

Saeed bin Musayyib narrated that Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the mosque and Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting poetry there. Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) expressed his dislike for reciting poetry in the mosque, so Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I used to recite poetry here at a time when someone better than you (the Prophet, peace be upon him) was present here." Then Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I ask you by Allah, did you not hear the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: 'O Hassan! Reply on my behalf (to the disbelievers of Makkah). O Allah! Help Hassan with the Holy Spirit.'" Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Yes, indeed (I heard it)."

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (may Allah be pleased with him): The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him): "Satirize the polytheists of Mecca, or (he said) respond to their satire, Gabriel is with you."

Urwah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I began to speak ill of Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) in the presence of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), so she said: Do not speak ill of him, he used to defend the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).

Masruq narrated that we were present in the service of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) when Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was also there, reciting his poetry to the Mother of the Believers (may Allah be pleased with her). One of the verses was, the translation of which is: "She is serious and chaste, upon whom no accusation has ever been made; every morning, she does not eat the flesh of ignorant sisters while being hungry." Upon this, Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: "But you have not proven to be like that." Masruq narrated that then I asked Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), "Why do you allow him to come to you, when Allah Almighty has already said about him: 'And for the one among them who took the greatest part in this, there is a great punishment.'" Upon this, the Mother of the Believers said: "What punishment could be more severe than becoming blind?" (Hassan's eyesight was lost in the last part of his life.) Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said to him that Hassan (may Allah be pleased with him) used to defend the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
