It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to her: "Aisha! Be gentle, for when Allah intends good for the people of a household, He guides them to the door of gentleness."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent out an army. They obtained spoils of war. Among them was a man who said to the people of the army:“I am not one of these people. I am in love with such-and-such woman, so I have come to her. Let me go so that I may see her once, then do with me whatever you wish.”Then they saw that she was a tall, wheat-colored woman. She said to him:“O Habish! Accept before life comes to an end. What do you think, if I pursue you and meet you at the spring of Hilyah or in the narrow mountain passes, is it not the right of the lover that he be rewarded for walking all night and in the intense heat?”The woman said:“I have sacrificed myself for you.”He went ahead with her and cut her neck. Then the woman came, stood over him, screamed loudly, and then she died. When that army came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), they informed him about it. He said:“Was there not a single merciful person among you?”

It is narrated from Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed Hajj with his wives. During the journey, a man came and drove the mounts of the Mothers of the Believers quickly. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Is this how you drive glass vessels?”So they were moving along when the camel of Sayyidah Safiyyah bint Huyayy sat down, even though her mount was the best among them, and she began to weep. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found out, he came and began to wipe her tears with his hand. She wept even more, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued to console her. When she wept excessively, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) scolded her and ordered the people to dismount, so they dismounted, even though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not intended to dismount. She says: The Companions dismounted, and that day was my turn. When the Companions dismounted, the tent of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was set up, and he entered it. She says: I could not understand how I could go to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I was also afraid that perhaps there might be some displeasure in his heart regarding me. She says: (In any case) I went to Sayyidah Aisha and said to her: You know that I would not trade my day for anything, but I gift you my turn on the condition that you reconcile the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to me. She said: Alright. Now she says: Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) took a cloak dyed with saffron and sprinkled water on it so that its fragrance would be refreshed, then she dressed herself and went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and (upon arrival) lifted a corner of the tent. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“O Aisha! What is the matter with you? This is not your day.”She said: This is the bounty of Allah; He gives it to whom He wills. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed with his wife. When evening came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyidah Zainab bint Jahsh:“O Zainab! Lend your sister Safiyyah a camel.”In fact, she had more mounts. But Zainab said: Should I lend your Jewess? Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became angry with her and broke off communication, and did not speak to her until he reached Mecca. Then, during the Prophet’s journey, the days at Mina also passed, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned to Madinah, and the months of Muharram and Safar (two months) also passed, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither went to Zainab nor allotted her any turn. She too lost hope in him. When the month of Rabi’ al-Awwal came, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to her. Zainab saw his shadow and said: This is the shadow of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and you do not come to me, so who could this (shadow) be? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered upon her. When Zainab saw him, she said: O Messenger of Allah! (I am so happy at your coming that) I do not know what to do. She says: She had a slave-girl whom she used to keep hidden from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then she said: Such-and-such slave-girl is for you. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the bed of Sayyidah Zainab, which had been removed, and he spread it with his own hand, then had relations with his wife and was pleased with her.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Humayd Sa‘idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, the best servants of Allah from this Ummah are those who fulfill their promises and are gentle-natured (and have good character).”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu ‘Anbah Khaulani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Indeed, Allah has vessels among the people of the earth. The vessels of your Lord are the hearts of the righteous, and the most beloved of them to Him are those that are the softest and most compassionate.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Show mercy, you will be shown mercy, and forgive, (in return) Allah will forgive you. Destruction is for those people who hear words but do not understand them (i.e., they ignore them), and destruction is also for those who persist, who knowingly persist in what they do."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was the most merciful among the people towards his family and children.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(1) When the time (of the Hour) draws near, it will not happen that a Muslim's dream will prove to be false. (2) And the truest dream will be of the one among them who is the most truthful in speech. (3) A Muslim's dream is one forty-sixth part of Prophethood." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "(4) There are three (types) of dreams: a good dream is glad tidings from Allah Almighty, a bad dream is distress and grief from Satan, and (besides these) dreams related to ordinary matters are from a person's own thoughts. (5) When any one of you sees a disliked dream, he should not mention it to anyone and should stand up and offer prayer. (6) I like chains in dreams and dislike collars. In reality, chains signify steadfastness in religion."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The greatest lie is that a man claims to have seen in his dream that which his eyes did not actually see."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him), indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a Muslim draws a weapon against his brother, the angels continue to curse him until he puts it back in its sheath."
