It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If people knew what I know about (the harms of) being alone, no rider would ever travel alone by night." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man set out from Khaybar, and two men followed him, while a third man came behind them saying: "Go back, both of you!" until he caught up with them and sent them back. Then he said (to the first man): "These two were devils. Convey my salam to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and tell him that we are gathering our charities; if they were lawful for him (to use), we would certainly send them to him." The narrator says: When that man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and told him about this incident, he (peace and blessings be upon him) then forbade travelling alone. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man returned from a journey, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "Who was with you?" He said: "I did not take anyone with me (that is, I was alone)." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A single rider is a devil, two riders are two devils, and three are a proper travelling party." Its supporting narration (shahid) is the hadith of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), which is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A lone traveller is a devil, two travellers are two devils, and three are a complete travelling party."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking water from the mouth of a water-skin, riding the jallalah (an animal that feeds on filth), and the mujaththamah, that is, making a target of animals that are tied up for archery practice. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) that on the day of Khaybar the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the meat of domestic donkeys, and the jallalah (an animal that feeds on filth): riding it and eating its meat.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed these verses: "And do not approach the property of the orphan except in the way that is best" [Surah al-An'am: 152] and "Indeed, those who devour the property of orphans unjustly (only fill their bellies with fire)" [Surah al-Nisa: 10] , whoever had an orphan in his care separated the orphan's food completely from his own food and the orphan's drink from his own drink. They would set aside some of the orphan's food, and it would remain there until he ate it, or it spoiled and was thrown away. This situation became very hard on them (the Companions), so they mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whereupon Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, revealed this verse: "And they ask you about orphans. Say: Improving (their affairs) for them is best, and if you mix with them, they are your brothers" [Surah al-Baqarah: 220] . After that, they mixed their food and drink with theirs. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it. Our Imams have cited it as evidence for the permission of al-munahadah, that is, sharing expenses jointly during a military expedition.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Wahshi bin Harb (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man said: "O Messenger of Allah! We eat but we are not satisfied!" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perhaps you eat separately? Gather together for your food and mention the name of Allah (at the start), and Allah will bless it for you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man emigrated from Yemen to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I have emigrated." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "You have emigrated from shirk (polytheism), but now the matter is jihad. Do you have anyone (of your family) in Yemen?" He said: "My parents." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Have they given you permission?" He said: "No." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back to them and ask their permission. If they give you permission, then fight in jihad; otherwise, be dutiful (and of service) to them." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording; however, they agreed on the hadith of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both): "Then strive (make jihad) in (serving) the two of them (your parents)."

Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah bin Jahimah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from his father (Jahimah) that he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I intend to go on a military expedition, and I have come to consult you." He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Is your mother alive?" He said: "Yes." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and stay in her service, for Paradise is at her feet." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
