Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this statement of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Sayyiduna Zakariya (peace be upon him) was a carpenter."

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: We were with the Prophet (peace be upon him) and we were picking arak fruits. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Pick the black ones, for they are purer. We asked: Did you tend sheep? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Every prophet has tended sheep.

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and we were picking pilu (a type of fruit). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Pick the black ones from them because they are purer. I used to eat them in the days when I used to herd goats. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Did you also herd goats? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: Every prophet who was sent has herded goats.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) was ten years old at that time. My mother and my maternal aunts used to encourage me to serve the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). I served the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) for ten years, that is, during the period when he resided in Madinah Munawwarah. Then, when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, I was twenty years old. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I have the most knowledge about the command of hijab and when it was revealed. People like Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) used to ask me about this matter. Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) married Sayyidah Zaynab bint Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with her), it was at that time that this was revealed. The morning after the marriage, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) invited people. Those people ate food and then left. Some of them remained seated with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). They sat for quite a while, then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and left, and I went along with him. The purpose was that those people would also get up and leave. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) kept walking, and I went with him. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the threshold of Sayyidah Aisha's (may Allah be pleased with her) room, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) thought that those people must have left. He returned, and I also returned with him. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the house of Sayyidah Zaynab (may Allah be pleased with her), those people were still sitting there. They had not gotten up and left, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) returned again, and I also returned with him. Then, when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the door of Sayyidah Aisha's (may Allah be pleased with her) room, he thought that those people must have left. He returned, and I also returned, and those people had left. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had a curtain placed between those people and himself, and at that time the verse regarding the command of hijab was revealed.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: Some companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by an Arab tribe, among whom there was a man who had been stung by a snake or a scorpion. The people asked: Is there anyone among you who knows how to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing)? One of those companions went and recited something over him, and the man was cured. When that companion returned to his fellows, they did not like what he had done. They said: You have taken compensation for (reciting) Allah’s Book. When these people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and informed him about this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called that companion and asked him. He replied: O Messenger of Allah! We passed by an Arab tribe in which there was a man who had been stung by a scorpion or a snake. The people asked: Is there anyone among you who knows how to perform ruqyah? So I recited Surah Al-Fatihah over him, and he was cured. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The thing most deserving for which you take compensation is the Book of Allah.

Sayyiduna Suwaid bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I and Makhrifah ‘Abdi bought cloth at the place of“Hajar.”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and made a deal with us for a pair of trousers. There was a person with you who used to weigh in exchange; the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him:“Weigh and give extra payment.”

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) By this is meant: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) wanted to pay extra for the trousers from his own wealth.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever has land should cultivate it; if he cannot cultivate it, then he should give it to his brother free of charge, and he should not take rent from him for it."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "He should not take compensation from him"—here, the prohibition is in wording, but the intent is to express recommendation and guidance, because people used to face hardship in their affairs, so giving land as a gift was considered better than renting it out. Otherwise, all Muslims are agreed upon this: it is permissible to take rent for land, except for the type which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has prohibited.

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: He submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Will you stay at your house in Makkah?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, "Has Aqeel left any residence for us?" (The narrator states) Aqeel and Talib became the heirs of Abu Talib. Sayyiduna Ja'far Tayyar (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) did not become his heirs, because both of them were Muslims, whereas Aqeel and Talib had died in a state of disbelief. For this reason, Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "No believer becomes the heir of a disbeliever."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping done, he paid the cupper his fee and gave him more than that.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) had cupping done and he paid the cupper his fee.
