It is narrated from Sayyiduna Qays bin Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that his father had presented him to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to serve him. He narrates: I was praying two rak'ahs when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me, gestured to me with his (blessed) foot and said: "Shall I not tell you about one of the doors (the key to one of the doors) of Paradise?" I said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah! He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Say:) 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no power and no strength except with Allah)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it. Imam al-Hakim says that this establishes that it is permissible for a father to present his child for service (of the elders); it also shows the virtue of Qays bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him), that he served the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so much that he became like his right hand (sahib al-shurat), and then he also stood by the Commander of the Faithful, Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him), in every circumstance, until he was martyred before him at the Battle of Siffin.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jewish boy used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He fell ill, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to visit him and said to him: "O boy, accept Islam and say: 'La ilaha illallah' (There is no god but Allah)." The boy began looking at his father (for permission). His father said: "Say what Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is telling you." So he recited the testimony of faith and accepted Islam, and then he died. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his Companions: "Offer the funeral prayer over your (this Muslim) brother," and he (peace and blessings be upon him) himself led his funeral prayer.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the (blessed) head of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the lap of Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) when a bearer of good news came and informed him of the victory of his cavalry detachment. He (peace and blessings be upon him) got up and fell into prostration before Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked that messenger for details about the enemy, and he told him that a woman was leading them. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The men were ruined when they obeyed women (accepted their leadership)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: Allah protected me through something I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): when news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that the king of Yemen (Dhu Yazan) had died and the people had made a woman their ruler, he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A people whose rule is in the hands of a woman will never succeed." 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 Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while the Companions were gathered around him. The people hesitated somewhat to give up their places (because of the lack of space), so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) took up his (blessed) cloak and tossed it to him. Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) pressed it to his chest and face, kissed it and placed it on his eyes, and then said: May Allah honour you as you have honoured me. Then he placed the cloak back on the (blessed) back of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), whereupon the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, when the honoured man of a people comes to him, let him honour him." 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 a radif of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (a Companion who rode behind him on his mount) that once his mount stumbled and fell, and he said: "May Satan perish (ta'isa al-shaytan)!" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not say 'May Satan perish', for when you say that, he swells up with pride and says: 'I brought him down by my strength.' Rather, in such a situation say 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah), for when you mention the name of Allah, he is humbled and shrinks until he becomes as small as a fly." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Abu al-Malih bin Usamah narrates from his father (Usamah bin Malik): I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on his mount when our camel stumbled and fell. I said: "May Satan perish!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Do not say 'May Satan perish', for with that he grows arrogant until he becomes as big as a house and considers himself powerful. Rather, say 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah), for when you say Bismillah he becomes so insignificant that he is left the size of a fly."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) walked, he did not turn to look back (on the way). Imam al-Hakim says: I do not know of anyone other than Abd al-Jabbar who narrated it from Muhammad bin al-Munkadir.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You name your children 'Muhammad' and then you curse them and invoke evil upon them (calling them by that name)?!" In this narration, al-Hakam bin Atiyyah is alone in narrating it from Thabit al-Bunani.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sneezed, he (peace and blessings be upon him) would cover his blessed face with his hand or his garment and lower his voice. This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
