The son of Abu Hazim narrates from his father: A man asked Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) about the wounding of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). He replied: The face of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was wounded, his front teeth were injured, and the helmet was struck upon the head of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The daughter of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), was washing away the blood, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) was pouring water over it with a shield. When Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) saw that pouring water was causing more blood to flow, she took a piece of mat, burned it until it became ash, and then applied that ash to the wound, so the bleeding stopped.

Sayyiduna Fultan bin Asim رضي الله عنه narrates: We were sitting in the mosque with the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم looked at a man who was walking in the mosque. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked: Do you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah? He replied: No. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked: Do you recite the Torah? He replied: Yes. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked: (Do you recite) the Gospel? He replied: Yes. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked: (Do you recite) the Qur'an? He said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, if I wish, I can acquire its knowledge as well. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: I ask you by Allah, have you found my mention in the Torah and the Gospel? He replied: We find (in the Torah) mention of you, your Ummah, and your emergence (or the place of migration), and we hoped that you would be sent among us (i.e., among the Jews), but when your appearance happened, we feared that you might not be the one. But when we investigated this matter, you are not him. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم asked: Why is that? He said: The reason is that with that Prophet, there will be seventy thousand people from his Ummah who will have no reckoning and no punishment, whereas with you there are very few people. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul, that (Prophet mentioned in the Torah and the Gospel) is indeed me, and this is my Ummah, and (the number of those who will enter Paradise) will be seventy thousand, and seventy thousand more, and even more than seventy thousand.

Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid bin Haritha (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates: The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) rode on a donkey which had a saddle on it and there was a sheet underneath it. He seated Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with them both) behind him. He went towards the locality of Banu Harith to visit Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) who was ill. This incident took place before the Battle of Badr. The Prophet passed by a gathering in which some Muslims, polytheists, idol worshippers, and Jews were sitting. Among them was Abdullah bin Ubayy. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present in that gathering. When the dust from the animal’s feet reached that gathering, Abdullah placed his sheet over his nose and then said:“Do not scatter dust upon us.”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) greeted those people with salam and stayed with them. He invited them towards Allah and recited the Qur’an before them. Abdullah bin Ubayy said:“O man, if what you are saying is true, then it is more appropriate that you do not cause us discomfort in our gathering. Please go to your place of residence. Whoever among us comes to you, you may say all this to him.”Upon this, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Rawaha (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“Rather, you should come to us in our gatherings. We like this.”At this, there was a dispute between the Muslims, polytheists, and Jews, to the extent that they intended to fight. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) kept trying to calm them down until they became silent. Then the Prophet mounted his ride and went to Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him). He said:“Did you hear what Abu Hubab said?”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) meant Abdullah bin Ubayy. He said this, so Sayyiduna Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted:“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon you), please forgive him. By Allah! Before Allah granted you the status and rank that He has, the people of this place had agreed to make him their chief. But when Allah fulfilled this wish through your arrival, he became envious of it. That is why he adopted the behavior you have witnessed.”(The narrator says:) So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) forgave that person.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with both of them) narrates: A Muhajir and an Ansari beat each other. The Ansari said: O Ansar (come to my help), and the Muhajir said: O Muhajirin (come to my help). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard this. He said: What is this matter of calling out like the days of ignorance? The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! A Muhajir has struck an Ansari. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Leave this thing, for it is foul. Upon this, Abdullah bin Ubayy said: They have done this; when we return to Madinah, the honorable among us will surely expel the lowly ones from there. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! Allow me to strike the neck of this hypocrite. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Leave him, otherwise people will say that Muhammad kills his companions.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) The statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), "This thing is foul," by this he meant that there will be no retaliation (qisas) in it. Similarly, when people say: "This thing is blameworthy," or similar words, this is what is meant.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: There was a Jew from the tribe of Banu Zuraiq whose name was Labeed bin A'sam. He cast magic upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), to the extent that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would feel as if he had done something, even though he had not done it. This condition of the Prophet (peace be upon him) remained for a day and a night. The Prophet (peace be upon him) kept supplicating, and kept supplicating. Then he said: O Aisha! Do you know, Allah Almighty has given me the answer to that which I had asked Him about. Two men (i.e., two angels) came to me. One of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one who was sitting at my feet asked the one at my head: What is wrong with this man? He replied: He has been affected by magic. The first asked: Who has done magic on him? The other replied: Labeed bin A'sam. The first asked: In what thing? The other replied: In a comb, and in the hair stuck in the comb, and in the spathe of a male date-palm. The first asked: Where is it? The other replied: In the well of Dhi Zarwan.

The narrator states: Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) went to that well along with some of his companions. When he returned from there, he said: O Aisha! Its water was as if henna had been mixed in it, and the tops of the date-palm trees there were like the heads of devils. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Why did you not have it burned, or have it removed? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has granted me well-being, so I did not like to cause any trouble among the people regarding this matter. By the order of the Prophet (peace be upon him), those things were buried.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: Magic was done on the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). A Jewish man from the tribe of Banu Zuraiq performed magic on him. The name of this man was Labeed bin A'sam, to the extent that the Prophet (peace be upon him) would feel as if he had done something, even though he had not done it. This condition persisted for some time, then one day the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: O Aisha! Do you know, the thing I asked Allah Almighty about, Allah has informed me about it. Two angels came to me. One of them sat near my head and the other sat near my feet. One of them asked the other: What is wrong with this man? The other replied: He has been affected by magic. The first asked: Who has done magic on him? The other replied: Labeed bin A'sam. The first asked: In what thing? The other replied: In a comb and the hair stuck in the comb, and in the spathe of a male date-palm. The first asked: Where is it? The other replied: It is in the well of Dharwan.

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace be upon him) went there with some of his companions. (Upon returning) the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: O Aisha! The water of that well was as if henna had been mixed in it, and the tops of the date-palm trees there were like the heads of devils. I said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! Why did you not have it taken out? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has granted me well-being, so I did not like to cause any trouble among the Muslims regarding this matter.

Masruq narrates: Once, a man was narrating a hadith in Kindah that on the Day of Resurrection, smoke will come and it will seize the hearing and sight of the hypocrites, while the believer will feel it like a mild cold. The narrator says: We became worried by this statement, then I went to the service of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas’ud (and told him this). He was sitting reclining at first. He became angry. Then he sat up straight. He said: O people! Whoever has knowledge about something should state it accordingly, and whoever does not have knowledge should say that Allah knows best, because part of knowledge is that a person, regarding what he does not know, should say: I do not know. Indeed, Allah Almighty said to His Prophet (peace be upon him):“Say: I do not ask you for any reward for it, nor am I of those who fabricate.”

(Then Sayyiduna Abdullah explained:) The Prophet (peace be upon him) supplicated against the Quraysh. He prayed:“O Allah, help me against these people with seven years (of famine) like the years of Yusuf (peace be upon him).”(Sayyiduna Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, narrates) So those people were seized by famine, until they began to perish during that famine. They began to eat carrion and even bones. If any of them looked towards the sky, he would see something like smoke. Abu Sufyan bin Harb came to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He said: O Muhammad (peace be upon you)! You have come to command the joining of ties of kinship, while your people are perishing. Pray to Allah for them. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) recited this verse:“Then watch for the Day when the sky will bring a visible smoke, enveloping the people; this will be a painful punishment.”The verse continues:“If We remove the punishment a little, you will revert (to disbelief).”When that punishment came, Allah removed it from them, but they reverted to disbelief. This is what is meant by Allah’s statement:“The Day We will seize with the greatest seizure.”This refers to the Battle of Badr.“Then there will be a lasting punishment”—this refers to the Battle of Badr. (The statement of Allah Almighty:)“Alif Lam Meem. The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land, but they, after their defeat, will overcome.”(Then Sayyiduna Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, said:) The miracle regarding the Romans has occurred, and the other four (miracles) have also passed.

Lady Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: One day, after participating in a funeral at Baqi’, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) returned to my home. I was feeling pain in my head. I said,“Oh, my head!”The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“Rather, I should say, O Aisha! Oh, my head!”Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“There would be no harm to you if you were to pass away before me, for I would wash you, shroud you, offer your funeral prayer, and then bury you.”I said,“Yes, but after doing all that, you would return to my house and spend the night with your new wife.”At this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) smiled. After this, the illness of the Prophet (peace be upon him) began, in which he passed away.

Lady Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The illness of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) began in the house of Lady Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her). The illness of the Prophet (peace be upon him) became severe, to the extent that he fell unconscious.

The narrator states: The household consulted about dripping medicine into his mouth. They dripped medicine into his mouth. When he regained consciousness, he asked: What is this thing? Is this the action of those women who have come from that direction? The Prophet (peace be upon him) pointed towards the land of Abyssinia; Lady Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her) was also among those women. The people said: O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)! We thought that perhaps you had contracted pleurisy. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: That is a disease with which Allah will never afflict me. Now, medicine will be dripped into the mouth of every person present in the house, except for the uncle of the Prophet (peace be upon him), meaning Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him).

The narrator states: On that day, Lady Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) also drank the medicine, even though she was fasting that day, but she did so due to the strong insistence of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Ubaidullah bin Abdullah narrates: I asked Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), I said: Tell me about the illness of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill. Blood started coming in his phlegm. We used to liken the phlegm that came out of him to the saliva of someone who eats dried grapes. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to visit all his wives in turn, but when his illness became severe, he sought permission from those women to stay with me, and those women would come to serve him. Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates: When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to my place, he came dragging his feet on the ground between two men. One of them was our master Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him).

The narrator says: I related this hadith to our master Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), so he asked me: Did Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) not tell you about the other man? I replied: No. So he said: He was our master Ali (may Allah be pleased with him).
