The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do you wish for this? She said: Yes, after all, I am not the only one, and my sister is most deserving to share in this goodness with me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: She is not lawful for me. She said: By Allah! I have heard that you sent a proposal to Durrah bint Umm Salama. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If she were lawful for me, even then I would not have married her, because both she and I were breastfed by Thuwaibah, the slave woman of Banu Hashim. Therefore, do not present your sisters and daughters to me.

عن عتبة بن عبد السلمي رضي الله عنه ان رجلا سال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فقال كيف كان اول شانك يا رسول الله قال ((كانت حاضنتي من بني سعد بن كعب فانطلقت انا وابن لها في بهم لنا ولم ناخذ معنا زادا فقلت يا اخي اذهب فاتنا بزاد من عند امنا فانطلق اخي ومكثت عند البهم فاقبل طيران ابيضان كانهما نسران فقال احدهما لصاحبه اهو هو قال نعم فاقبلا يبتدراني فاخذاني فبطحاني إلى القفا فشقا بطني ثم استخرجا قلبي فشقاه فاخرجا منه علقتين سوداوين فقال احدهما لصاحبه ائتني بماء ثلج فغسلا به جوفي ثم قال ائتني بماء برد فغسلا به قلبي ثم قال ائتني بالسكينة فذراها في قلبي ثم قال احدهما لصاحبه حصه فحاصه وختم عليه بخاتم النبوة)) وقال حيوة في حديثه ((حصه فحاصه واختم عليه بخاتم النبوة)) ((فقال احدهما لصاحبه اجعله في كفة واجعل الفا من امته في كفة فإذا انا انظر إلى الالف فوقي اشفق ان يخر علي بعضهم فقال لو ان امته وزنت به لمال بهم ثم انطلقا وتركاني وفرقت فرقا شديدا ثم انطلقت إلى امي اخبرتها بالذي لقيته فاشفقت علي ان يكون البس بي قالت اعيذك بالله فرحلت بعيرا لها فجعلتني)) وقال يزيد ((فحملتني)) ((على الرحل وركبت خلفي حتى بلغنا إلى امي فقالت اواديت امانتي وذمتي وحدثتها بالذي لقيت فلم يرعها ذلك فقالت إني رايت خرج مني نور اضاءت منه قصور الشام))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Utbah bin Abd Salma (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! How did your matter begin? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My wet nurse was from Banu Sa’d bin Ka’b. I and her son went out to graze goats and did not take provisions with us. I said: O my brother! Go and bring provisions from our mother. So he went, and I stayed with the goats. I saw that two white birds, like vultures (in reality, they were two angels), came. One of them said to the other: Is this the one? Then they rushed towards me, seized me, and laid me down on my back. Then they split open my belly, took out my heart, split it open, and took out two clots of black blood from it. Then one of them said to the other: Bring water of snow. So they washed my belly. Then one said: Bring water of hail. So they washed my heart. Then one said: Now bring tranquility. So they sprinkled it into my heart. Then one said to the other: Now sew him up. So he sewed me up and sealed it with the seal of Prophethood. In another narration, it is said: One angel said: You sew him up. So he sewed me up. Then he said: Now put the seal of Prophethood on him. After that, one said to the other: Place him in one pan of the scale and place a thousand men from his Ummah in the other pan. (I was so heavy that) I saw those thousand people above me in such a way that I feared someone might fall on me. Then one angel said: If this being is weighed against his entire Ummah, he will still be heavier. Then both of them left me. I was very frightened and anxious. Then I went to my mother and told her what I had seen. She too became afraid that something suspicious had happened to me. She said: I place you in the protection of Allah Almighty. Then she prepared a camel, made me sit on the saddle, and herself sat behind me, until we reached my (biological) mother. The wet nurse said: I have fulfilled my trust and responsibility. Then when my mother was told the whole incident, she did not become anxious. Rather, she said: I saw a light emerge from me by which the palaces of Syria were illuminated.

عن ثابت عن انس رضي الله عنه ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم كان يلعب مع الصبيان فاتاه آت فاخذه فشق بطنه فاستخرج منه علقة فرمى بها وقال هذه نصيب الشيطان منك ثم غسله في طشت من ذهب من ماء زمزم ثم لامه فاقبل الصبيان إلى ظئره قتل محمد قتل محمد فاستقبلت رسول الله فقد انتقع لونه قال انس فلقد كنا نرى اثر المخيط في صدره
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was playing with children when a person came, split open the blessed stomach of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), took out a clot of blood from it and threw it away, and said: "This was the portion of Satan from you." Then he washed it with Zamzam water from a golden basin. The children went to the nurse of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and said: "Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) has been killed, Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) has been killed." So when she came to take the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), his color had changed. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We used to see the mark of the stitching on the chest of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family).

عن ابي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه قال افتخر اهل الإبل والغنم عند النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم الفخر والخيلاء في اهل الإبل والسكينة والوقار في اهل الغنم وقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم ((بعث موسى عليه السلام وهو يرعى غنما على اهله وبعثت انا وانا ارعى غنما لاهلي بجياد))
Syedna Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the owners of camels and goats boasted to one another in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Pride and arrogance are found among the owners of camels, and tranquility and dignity are found among the owners of goats. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Musa (peace be upon him) was appointed (as a prophet), he used to graze his family's goats, and when I was appointed (as a prophet), I used to graze my family's goats at Ji'ad.

عن ابي هريرة رضي الله عنه كان جريئا على ان يسال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم عن اشياء لا يساله عنها غيره فقال يا رسول الله ما اول ما رايت في امر النبوة فاستوى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم جالسا وقال ((لقد سالت ابا هريرة إني لفي صحراء ابن عشر سنين واشهر وإذا بكلام فوق راسي وإذا رجل يقول لرجل اهو هو قال نعم فاستقبلاني بوجوه لم ارها لخلق قط وارواح لم اجدها من خلق قط وثياب لم ارها على احد قط فاقبلا إلي يمشيان حتى اخذ كل واحد منهما بعضدي لا اجد لاحدهما مسا فقال احدهما لصاحبه اضجعه فاضجعاني بلا قصر ولا هصر وقال احدهما لصاحبه افلق صدره فهوى احدهما إلى صدري ففلقه فيما ارى بلا دم ولا وجع فقال له اخرج الغل والحسد فاخرج شيئا كهيئة العلقة ثم نبذها فطرحها فقال له ادخل الرافة والرحمة فإذا مثل الذي اخرج يشبه الفضة ثم هز إبهام رجلي اليمنى فقال اغد واسلم فرجعت بهما اغدو رقة على الصغير ورحمة للكبير))
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was bold in asking the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about matters that no one else would ask about. He said: O Messenger of Allah! What was the very first thing you saw regarding the matter of Prophethood? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat upright and then said: Abu Hurairah! You have asked, I was in the desert, my age was ten years and a few months, I heard a voice above my head, so it was a man who was saying to another man: Is this the one? The other said: Yes. Then they came before me with their faces; I had never seen such creatures, they were such spirits that I had never seen such spirits before, upon them were such garments that I had never seen garments like them. They walked towards me until each of them took hold of my arm; I did not even feel their touch. Then one said to the other: Lay him down. So they laid me down without any force or compulsion. Then one said to the other: Split open his chest. So one leaned towards my chest and, as I thought, split it open; neither did any blood come out nor did I feel any pain. Then the other angel said: Remove malice and envy. So he took out a clot of blood and threw it away. Then he said: Place compassion and mercy in his heart. The thing they placed was like silver. Then he moved the big toe of my right foot and said: Walk and be safe. So I returned with both of them in such a state that I was gentle to the small and merciful to the great.
