Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My example and the example of people is like that of a person who lights a fire. When the area around it becomes illuminated, insects and moths begin to fall into it. These are the creatures that want to enter the fire; they want to go into it. That person tries to prevent them from entering it. So today, I am holding people by their sides (saying), 'Come towards Paradise and save yourselves from Hell,' but they are trying to fall into it."

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once, he was traveling with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about something. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give him any answer. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him again; the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) again did not give any answer. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked again, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) again did not give him any answer. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) thought: O Umar! May your mother weep for you, you have asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) three times, and each time the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give you any answer. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I moved my camel and started walking ahead of the people. I feared that perhaps some command of the Qur'an might be revealed about me. While I was in this state, I heard someone calling me in a loud voice. I came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and greeted him with salam. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Last night, a surah was revealed to me which is more beloved to me than anything upon which the sun rises (i.e., more beloved than the whole world). Then he recited this verse: "Indeed, We have given you a clear conquest, that Allah may forgive for you your past and future sins."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: This verse was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "So that Allah may forgive you your past and future sins." This verse was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the occasion of his return from Hudaybiyyah. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A verse has been revealed to me which is more beloved to me than everything on the face of the earth." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) recited this verse before the people. The people said: "O Messenger of Allah! Congratulations to you, congratulations to you. Allah has made clear to you what He will do with you, but what will He do with us (this we do not know)." Then this verse was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): "So that Allah may admit the believing men and believing women to Gardens beneath which rivers flow." This verse is up to: "the great success."

Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to frequently recite «سُبْحَانَ الله وَبِحَمْدِهِ، اسْتَغْفِرُ اللهَ، وَاتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ» some time before his passing.

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: I said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You recite this supplication frequently, whereas before you did not use to recite it." So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Lord has informed me that He will soon show me a sign regarding my Ummah. He has commanded me that when I see this sign, I should glorify Him, praise Him, and seek forgiveness from Him. So I have seen that thing." (That is this verse:) "When the help of Allah comes and..." By this is meant the conquest of Makkah.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When this verse was revealed, "When the help of Allah and victory comes," (this is until the end of the Surah), after that I saw the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) that whenever he performed prayer, he would definitely recite: "So glory be to Allah, praise is exclusively for You, O Allah, forgive me."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) began to observe continuous fasting (Saum Wisal). When people came to know of this, they also started to observe continuous fasting. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from doing so. He said: I am not like you. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord gives me food and drink.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) began to observe continuous fasting (sawm wisal) in Ramadan. Some of his companions also started to observe continuous fasting. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If this month had been longer, I would have continued to observe continuous fasting for such a period that those who exert themselves excessively would abandon their excessiveness. I spend such time that my Lord gives me food and gives me drink.

Sayyidah Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) passed away, he left behind a small amount of barley in our house. We continued to eat from it. Then, one day, a maid measured it, and after that, it finished quickly. If the maid had not measured it, I hope it would have lasted for a longer time.

Sayyiduna Sharik bin Tariq (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Each one of you has a specific devil with him." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Is there one with you as well?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is one with me as well, but Allah Almighty helped me against him and he became a Muslim."
(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The narrator has reported this word in the accusative case exactly as it is.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Every one of you has been assigned a companion from among the jinn." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Even you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Even me, but Allah Almighty helped me against him and he became a Muslim, so now he only tells me to do good."

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) In this narration, there is evidence that the specific shaitan assigned to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) became a Muslim, to the extent that he would only tell him to do good. This does not mean that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was protected from the shaitan even if that shaitan had remained a disbeliever.
