It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey. We made camp at a place, and suddenly there was a man in the valley saying: 'Allahumma-j'alni min ummati Muhammadin al-marhumati al-maghfurati al-muthabi laha' (O Allah, include me among the nation of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), which has been shown mercy, which has been forgiven, and which has been granted reward). Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I looked down into the valley, and there was a man whose height was more than three hundred cubits. He asked me: Who are you? I said: Anas bin Malik, the servant of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He asked: Where is he? I said: He is right here, listening to your words. He said: Go to him, convey my salam to him, and tell him: Your brother Ilyas (peace be upon him) sends you salam. So I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) came until he met him, embraced him and greeted him with salam. Then the two of them sat down and talked. Ilyas (peace be upon him) said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah, I eat only one day in the year, and today is my day of breaking the fast, so let you and me eat together. Then a table spread came down to them from the sky, on which there was bread, fish and celery (karafs). They ate and fed me as well. Then the two of them prayed the Asr prayer. After that Ilyas (peace be upon him) bade him (peace and blessings be upon him) farewell, and then I saw him going upon the clouds towards the sky. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Ya'la bin Murrah narrates from his father, who said: I travelled with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and saw a most astonishing thing from him (peace and blessings be upon him). We stopped at a place, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to these two trees and say: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commands you both to come together." I went and said this to them, and each of them was uprooted from its root, and they moved towards each other until they met together. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) relieved himself behind them. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and tell them that each should return to its place." I went to them and said this, and each returned to its place. Then a woman came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: This son of mine has suffered from fits of madness (epilepsy) for seven years, and he has a fit twice every day. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bring him near me." She brought him near, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) put his saliva into his mouth and said: "Get out, O enemy of Allah; I am the Messenger of Allah." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the woman: "When we return, inform us of what he has done." When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returned, the woman met him, and with her were two rams, some cheese and ghee. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Take this ram and prepare from it whatever you wish." The woman said: By the One who has honoured you! Since you parted from us, we have not seen any illness in him (the child). Then a camel came to him (peace and blessings be upon him) and stood before him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that tears were flowing from its eyes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) called its owners and said: "What complaint is this camel of yours making about you?" They said: We used to work it, and now that it has grown old and its capacity to work has gone, we decided to slaughter it tomorrow. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not slaughter it; rather, leave it among the camels so that it may stay with them." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it with this wording.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a large bowl from which people were eating. Whenever one group became full, other people would sit down in their place. The narrator says: This continued in this way until the time of the Zuhr prayer. A man asked: Was this bowl being replenished from beneath by something? Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It was being replenished only from the sky, by unseen help. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Amrah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him); he said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on a military expedition when the people faced severe hunger. The people asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) for permission to slaughter some of their riding animals, and said: In this way Allah will bring us to our destination. When Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) saw that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had decided to permit them to slaughter their riding animals, he said: O Messenger of Allah, what will be our state when we meet the enemy tomorrow hungry and on foot? But, O Messenger of Allah, if you see fit, call the people with whatever is left of their provisions. So the people began to bring a handful of food or a little more; the one who brought the most among them came with a sa' of dates. He (peace and blessings be upon him) gathered all of it, then stood up and supplicated with whatever Allah willed. Then he called the whole army with their containers and ordered them to fill them from it. They did not leave a single container in the whole army without filling it, and yet as much food as before remained. At that, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled so broadly that his blessed molars became visible, and then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I bear witness that there is no god worthy of worship but Allah, and I bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah. Any believing servant who meets Allah with these two testimonies will be saved from the fire of Hell." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Safinah (may Allah be pleased with him): I boarded a boat at sea and it broke apart. I climbed onto one of its planks, and it cast me into a thicket in which there was a lion. Nothing frightened me except that lion. I said: O Abu al-Harith, I am the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Thereupon it lowered its head and nudged my side with its shoulder. It kept walking with me and showing me the way until it set me on the road. When it had brought me to the road, it made a sound (a growl), and I thought that it was bidding me farewell. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that we were sitting around the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly a loud-voiced, desert-dwelling Yemeni Bedouin came riding his red she-camel. He made it kneel at the door of the mosque, came in, greeted the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam and then sat down. When he had finished what he had to say, the people said: O Messenger of Allah! This she-camel that this Bedouin has is stolen. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is there firm testimony against him?" They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Ali! If the testimony against him is established, take Allah's right from this Bedouin; and if the testimony is not established, send him back to me." The narrator says: The Bedouin lowered his head for a while, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Bedouin! Stand up for the command of Allah, or else present your argument." Then the she-camel called out from behind the door: By the One who sent you with honour, O Messenger of Allah! This man did not steal me, nor has anyone besides him ever owned me. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Bedouin! By the One who gave this she-camel speech to declare your innocence, what did you say (while lowering your head)?" He said: I made this supplication: 'Allahumma innaka lasta bi-rabbin istahdathnaka, wa la ma'aka ilahun a'anaka 'ala khalqina, wa la ma'aka rabbun fa-nashukka fi rububiyyatika, anta rabbuna kama naqulu wa fawqa ma yaqulu al-qa'ilun, as'aluka an tusalliya 'ala Muhammadin wa an tubarri'ani bi-bara'ati' (O Allah! You are not a Lord whom we have newly invented, nor is there any god with You who helped You in creating us, nor is there any other Lord with You that we should doubt Your lordship. You are our Lord as we say, and far above what the sayers say. I ask You to send blessings upon Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and to clear me because of my innocence). So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "O Bedouin! By the One who sent me with honour, I saw the angels racing one another at the turns of the lanes to write down these words of yours. So send blessings upon me abundantly." All the narrators of this hadith are trustworthy, except that I have no knowledge of this Yahya bin Abdullah al-Misri as regards either his integrity or any criticism of him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: How shall I know that you are the Messenger of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What do you think: if I call this cluster (bunch of dates) from this date palm, will you bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah?" He said: Yes. So he (peace and blessings be upon him) called the cluster, and it began to come down from the tree until it fell to the ground; then it came hopping until it reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said to it: "Go back," and it went back to its place. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Muslim, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in Makkah, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) went out to one of the outlying areas of Makkah. Every tree or mountain that came before him would call out: "As-salamu 'alayka ya Rasulallah" (Peace be upon you, O Messenger of Allah). The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I fell ill, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me while I was saying (in supplication): 'Allahumma in kana ajali qad hadara fa-arihni, wa in kana muta'akhkhiran farfa'ni, wa in kana al-bala'u fa-sabbirni' (O Allah! If the time of my death has come, then grant me rest; if it is still delayed, then grant me cure (from the illness); and if this is a trial, then grant me patience). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What did you say?" I repeated the same words, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated (for me): 'Allahumma ishfihi, Allahumma 'afihi' (O Allah, cure him; O Allah, grant him well-being). Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Get up." So I stood up, and that pain never returned to me after that. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: There is no believing man or woman on the face of the earth who does not love me. He was asked: O Abu Hurayrah! How do you know this? He said: I used to invite my mother to Islam but she would refuse. One day I invited her and she said something offensive about the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that I found deeply hurtful. I came weeping to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I used to call my mother to Islam but she would refuse; today I invited her and she said something about you that I dislike. So, O Messenger of Allah, supplicate to Allah that He guide the mother of Abu Hurayrah to Islam. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for her. I went back to my mother carrying the glad tidings of the supplication of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When I reached the door, it was closed. My mother sensed the sound of my coming, so she put on her clothes, covered her head with her scarf and said: O Abu Hurayrah! Stay where you are. Then she opened the door for me, and when I entered she called out: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah." I went back again to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), weeping from joy just as I had wept before from grief, and I said: O Messenger of Allah! Rejoice, Allah has answered your supplication and has guided the mother of Abu Hurayrah. Then I said: O Messenger of Allah! Supplicate to Allah that He make me and my mother beloved to His believing servants, and make the believers beloved to us. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: 'Allahumma habbib 'ubaydaka hadha wa ummahu ila 'ibadika al-mu'minin, wa habbibhum ilayhima' (O Allah! Make this little servant of Yours and his mother beloved to Your believing servants, and make the believers beloved to them both). So now there is no believing man or woman on earth who does not love me and whom I do not love. The chain of this hadith is sahih (authentic), but the two Shaykhs did not record it.
