It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I have not found anyone more kind to his family than the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The son of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), had been sent to the upper suburbs of Madinah for nursing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to see him, and we would also be with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would enter their house, even though there would be smoke rising in the house, because his foster father was a blacksmith. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would pick up Sayyiduna Ibrahim (may Allah be pleased with him), kiss him, and then return. The narrator Amr says: When Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, Ibrahim is my son. Since he passed away during the period of nursing, there will be wet nurses for him in Paradise who will complete his nursing.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Sayyiduna ‘Uyaynah bin Hisn (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was kissing Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) or Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: O Messenger of Allah! Do not kiss this child; I have had ten children born to me, and I have not kissed any one of them. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever does not show mercy to others, mercy is not shown to him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) not secretly, but openly saying: Indeed, the family of so-and-so are not my friends; my friends are only Allah and the righteous believers.

Yahya bin Jazaar says: Some of the noble Companions went to the service of Umm al-Mu’minin Sayyida Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) and submitted: O Umm al-Mu’minin! Please tell us about the confidential matters of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). She said: The outward and inward state of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the same. Then she regretted her statement and said: I have disclosed the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived and I informed him of this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have done right.

Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that one day the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and called out three times: O people! Do you know what my example and your example is? The people replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My example and your example is like those people who are afraid of an enemy attacking them, so they send someone to find out the situation. As he is on his way, he sees the enemy. He returns to warn his people, fearing that the enemy might reach his people before he can get there and warn them. So he waves his cloth and says: O people! The enemy has come, the enemy is upon you, (beware).

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord presented to me that He would turn the valley of Batha in Makkah into gold for me, but I said: No, O my Lord! I will be satiated one day and hungry another day. When I am hungry, I will express helplessness and need before You and remember You, and when I am satiated, Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord presented to me that He would turn the valley of Batha in Makkah into gold for me, but I said: No, O my Lord! I will be satiated one day and hungry another day. When I am hungry, I will express helplessness and need before You and remember You, and when I am satiated, then ..........

Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You have begun to desire things morning and evening, from which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to abstain; you have become inclined towards the world, whereas the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to keep away from it. By Allah! Every coming night, the amount of debt that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had to give was greater than what he had to take. Some companions said: Indeed, we also saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he used to take loans. Other narrators besides Yahya said: By Allah! Three days would not pass except that the amount of debt the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had to give was greater than what he had to take.

(Second chain) Sayyiduna Amr ibn al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) while addressing in Egypt said: What has distanced your way of life from the conduct of your Prophet! He (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most disinterested in the world, but you are the most desirous of it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) looked towards the mountain of Uhud and said: By Him in Whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), I do not like that the mountain of Uhud be turned into gold for the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) and that I keep spending it in the way of Allah, and when I die, I leave behind even two dinars, except if I leave two dinars for the repayment of a debt, that is a different matter. So, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) passed away, he did not leave behind any dinar, dirham, slave, or slave-girl, etc. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) only left behind a coat of mail, and he departed from this world while it was mortgaged with a Jew in exchange for thirty sa’ of barley. In another narration, it is mentioned that he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) had acquired this for the food of his family.

Malik bin Abdullah Ziyadi narrates that Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) came and sought permission to enter the house of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him). He granted him permission to enter. In his hand was a staff. Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Ka'b! Abdur Rahman has passed away leaving behind considerable wealth. What is your opinion regarding this? He said: If he used to fulfill Allah's rights from that wealth, then there is no harm in it. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) raised his staff and struck Sayyiduna Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: I heard that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not even like that this mountain of Uhud be of gold and I spend it in the way of Allah and my charity is accepted by Allah, and I leave for myself from it only six uqiyah of gold. O Uthman! I ask you by Allah, did you hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? (Sayyiduna Abu Dharr repeated this three times.) Finally, Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Yes, I also heard this hadith.
