It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the family of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a wild animal. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out, it would play, jump, and run back and forth. But when it sensed the arrival of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), it would become calm. Then, as long as he (peace and blessings be upon him) remained in the house, it would not make any movement, lest it cause any discomfort to him (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) set out on a journey. When we reached the valley of Harr and returned from there, I was riding on a camel. After that, it started running fast. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was loudly calling out among the acacia trees: "O bride! O bride!" and I was hearing your (peace and blessings be upon him) voice. By Allah! I was in that very state when someone called out to me and told me to throw down its rein. I threw down the rein, and Allah Almighty entangled that rein in the front legs of the camel (and it stopped).

Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) commanded us to dig the trench. During the digging, a rock appeared at a certain spot where the pickaxes would not work. The noble Companions complained about it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family). He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came, and Sayyiduna ‘Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I think that Sayyiduna Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) also stated that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) came and put his garment aside and went towards the rock. He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) took the pickaxe, recited“Bismillah,”and struck it forcefully; one third of the rock broke off. He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) proclaimed loudly:“Allahu Akbar! I have been given the keys of Syria. By Allah! At this moment, from this very place, I am seeing the red palaces of that land.”Then he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) again recited“Bismillah”and struck the pickaxe again, and another third of the rock broke off. He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) loudly said“Allahu Akbar!”and said:“I have been given the keys of Persia. By Allah! I am seeing Mada’in and its white palace from this very place at this moment.”Then he (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) recited“Bismillah”and struck the pickaxe a third time, and the remaining rock shattered into pieces. He (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) loudly said“Allahu Akbar!”and said:“I have been given the keys of Yemen, and at this moment, from this very place, I am seeing the gates of Sana’a.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and the noble Companions dug the trench for three days without eating anything. During the digging, the Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! Here is a rocky boulder. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sprinkle water on it. The Companions sprinkled water on it. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came, picked up the pickaxe, and said: In the name of Allah. He struck the boulder three times with the pickaxe, and it shattered into pieces. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: Suddenly my gaze fell and I saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had tied a stone to his blessed stomach.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that his camel became exhausted, sat down, and was unable to walk any further. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by him and asked: "Jabir! What is the matter?" He told the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) the whole story. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dismounted from his own ride and went towards Sayyiduna Jabir’s (may Allah be pleased with him) camel and said: "Jabir! Mount it." He replied: "O Messenger of Allah! It does not even stand up." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Just mount it." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted the camel, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) struck the camel with his foot, and it sprang up. If Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) had not controlled and held the camel, he would have fallen down from above. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): "Now go and reach your family. When you get home, you will find that they have prepared such and such things for you." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) even mentioned the bedding. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(In the house) one bed is for the man, one for his wife, the third for the guest, and the fourth is for the devil."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: On the day of Hudaybiyyah, the people were extremely thirsty. In front of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was a small leather container from which he used to perform ablution. The people began to look at that container with longing eyes. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: What is the matter? They submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Other than the water present before you, we have no water to drink or to perform ablution. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) placed both his hands in that leather container. Water began to gush forth from his fingers like springs. We drank the water and performed ablution. Salim bin Abi Ja’d says that I asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): How many people were you that day? He said: Even if we had been one hundred thousand, that water would have sufficed us; as it was, our number was fifteen hundred.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were on a journey with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the companions did not find any water. Then a brass vessel filled with water was brought. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand in it and spread his fingers. I saw that water was gushing forth from his (peace and blessings be upon him) fingers. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Come towards the water for ablution and the blessing sent down by Allah." A'mash says: Salim bin Abi Ja'd informed me that he asked Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): How many people were there that day? He replied: We were fifteen hundred (1500).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the morning in such a state that there was absolutely no water with the army (for people’s needs). A man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! There is absolutely no water in the army. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Do you have any water with you? He replied: Yes. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring that water to me. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: A vessel was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in which there was a little water. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put his fingers into the mouth of the vessel and slightly spread his fingers, and springs of water gushed forth from between the fingers of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Bilal to announce among the people that there is blessed water available for ablution.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the call for prayer was given. Those whose houses were near the mosque all got up and went to their homes (so that they could perform ablution and return). Only those people remained whose houses were far from the mosque. A small stone vessel was brought to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him); it was so small that he (peace and blessings be upon him) could not spread his palm in it. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) joined his fingers together. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: All the people performed ablution. Humaid says: Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was asked how many people there were. He replied that there were eighty or a little more than that.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was seated at the place of Zawra. A vessel was brought to him in which there was not even enough water for his fingers to be submerged. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered the companions to perform ablution and placed his palm in the water. Water began to flow from between his fingers and from their edges, until all the people had performed ablution. Qatadah says: I asked Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): How many people were you? He replied: We were three hundred.
