It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Qais (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: My son passed away, and I was extremely grieved over him. I said to the one who was to bathe him, "Do not kill my son by washing him with cold water." Then her brother, Sayyid Akasha bin Mihsan (may Allah be pleased with him), went and informed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) of what she had said. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled at this and said: "What did she say? May her life be long." Abu al-Hasan says: To my knowledge, no woman lived as long as she did.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Hani Fakhita bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: On the day of the conquest of Makkah, I gave refuge to two of my in-laws and, after bringing them into the house, I closed the door. My own mother's son, Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), came and drew his sword against them. I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but I could not find him. However, Sayyida Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her) was present, but she was even stricter with me regarding my matter than her husband. Meanwhile, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, and there were traces of dust on him. When I told him my situation, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Umm Hani! Those whom you have given refuge, we have also given them refuge, and those whom you have granted safety, we have also granted them safety.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to her and asked for water. He (peace and blessings be upon him) drank the water and returned the remaining water to her, so she drank (the leftover water from him). Then she said: O Messenger of Allah! I was fasting. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one observing a voluntary fast is the master of his own self; if he wishes, he may complete the fast, and if he wishes, he may break it.

Ibn Abi Layla says: No one informed me, except Sayyida Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her), that she saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the Duha prayer. She narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered her house on the day of the conquest of Makkah, performed ghusl, and prayed eight rak‘ahs, performing ruku‘ and sujud lightly. (Rather, it should be said that) she had never seen the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) perform a lighter prayer than this. However, it is certain that he (peace and blessings be upon him) completed the ruku‘ and sujud.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Hani bint Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: One day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by me. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I have become old and weak, so tell me a deed that I can do while sitting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Say "Subhan Allah" one hundred (100) times; this deed will be equal for you to freeing one hundred (100) slaves from the descendants of Ismail. Say "Alhamdulillah" one hundred (100) times; this deed will be equal for you to giving one hundred (100) bridled and saddled horses in the way of Allah. Say "Allahu Akbar" one hundred (100) times; this deed will be equal for you to those one hundred (100) camels which are garlanded and sent towards Makkah during the time of Hajj and are accepted by Allah Almighty. And say "La ilaha illallah" one hundred (100) times; this deed will fill the space between the heavens and the earth with reward. On that day, no man's such great deed will be raised upwards, except one who does the same as you have done.

It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Waraqah bint Abdullah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit her every Friday. On the occasion of Badr, she submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Do I have permission to go with you so that I may tend to the sick and treat the wounded? Perhaps Allah, the Exalted, will grant me the rank of martyrdom. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Remain in your house, Allah, the Exalted, will grant you martyrdom right here.

Sayyida Umm Waraqah (may Allah be pleased with her) had made her slave and slave-girl mudabbar (i.e., she had announced that after her death, both of them would be set free). But by Allah’s decree, Sayyida Umm Waraqah (may Allah be pleased with her) lived a long life, and those two—the slave and the slave-girl—out of greed for their freedom, tightly wrapped a cloth around her mouth and nose, suffocating her to death, and then fled.

The case was brought before the Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), and it was said to him that her slave and slave-girl had killed her and fled. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood among the people and addressed them, saying: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit Sayyida Umm Waraqah (may Allah be pleased with her) and would say,“Let us go to visit the martyr.”Her such-and-such slave-girl and such-and-such slave strangled her to death and have fled. No one should give them refuge, and whoever finds them should present them to us.

Accordingly, both of them were brought before Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), and they were hanged. They were the very first to be hanged.

Abu Ma'shar says that Ibrahim Nakha'i used to go to Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her). The narrator of the hadith, Sa'id bin Abi 'Arubah, asked his teacher Abu Ma'shar how he used to go to her service. He said: He used to go with his maternal uncle Aswad. There was brotherhood and much affection and love between Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) and Aswad.

It is narrated from Hasan that Ahnaf said: Once I was performing Tawaf of the Ka'bah when a man from Banu Salim came and met me and said: Shall I give you glad tidings? I said: Yes, certainly, please tell me. He said: Do you remember when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to your tribe, Banu Sa'd, so that I may invite them to Islam, you said on that occasion: By Allah! This Messenger has only spoken good, and I have also heard only good about him. When I returned and informed the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of your words, he prayed thus: O Allah! Forgive Ahnaf. He (Ahnaf) said: So, I have the greatest hope in this very supplication.

It is narrated from Asir bin Jabir, he says: When the caravans and delegations from Yemen arrived, the Commander of the Faithful, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), would repeatedly go to their caravans and inquire whether there was any individual from the Banu Qarn tribe among them. Eventually, he reached the people of Banu Qarn. He asked them: Which tribe are you from? They replied that they were from the Banu Qarn tribe. Meanwhile, the rein of Owais’s mount fell down, so one of them handed the rein to the other. At that moment, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) recognized Owais. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: What is your name? He replied: My name is Owais. He asked: Is your mother alive? He said: Yes. He asked: Did you have a white spot (patch) on your body? He replied: Yes, then I prayed to Allah Almighty and He removed it, except for a spot the size of a dirham near my navel, so that when I see it, I remember my Lord. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: Pray for my forgiveness. He said: You are more deserving to pray for my forgiveness, because you are a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the best man among the Tabi‘in is named Owais, his mother is alive, he had white marks on his body, he prayed to Allah Almighty and Allah removed that illness from him, except for a mark the size of a dirham near his navel. Upon hearing this, Owais prayed for the forgiveness of Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), after which he disappeared into the crowd and it was not known where he went. Asir says: He came to Kufa, we would gather in a circle and remember Allah Almighty, and Owais would also sit with us. When he gave advice and admonition, his words would have such an effect on our hearts that no one else’s reminder had such an effect.

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Laila that on the day of the Battle of Siffin, a man from among the people of Syria called out in a loud voice and inquired: "Is there anyone among you by the name of Uwais Qarni?" The people replied: "Yes." He said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say that the most virtuous person among the Tabi'in will be Uwais Qarni."
