Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“I and the one who takes care of an orphan will be in Paradise like this (close to each other as these two fingers).”Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) gestured with his index and middle fingers and made a slight gap between them.

Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When Hasan was born, I named him Hamzah, and when Husayn was born, I named him after his uncle Ja'far. (One day) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) called me and said: "I have been commanded to change both of these names." I said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) named them Hasan and Husayn.

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) changed the name "Asiyah" and said: "You are Jameelah (beautiful)."

Saeed bin Musayyib narrates from his father, and he from his grandfather, that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: "What is your name?" He said: "Huzn." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are Sahl." He said: "No, Sahl is considered insignificant and looked down upon." Saeed says: I think that because of this, we had to face hardships and difficulties.

Muhammad bin Amr bin Ata says: I went to Sayyida Zainab bint Abu Salama (may Allah be pleased with her), and she asked me the name of my sister. I said: Her name is "Barrah." She said: Change this name, because when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married Sayyida Zainab bint Jahsh, her name was "Barrah," and he changed it and named her Zainab. (The incident is as Sayyida Zainab narrated:) When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) married Sayyida Umm Salama, he went to her, and my name was "Barrah." When she called me Barrah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not ascribe purity to yourselves; Allah knows best who among you is righteous and who is wicked. Name her Zainab." Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Now she is Zainab (not Barrah). I asked her: My name? She said: You should also change it in the same way as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) did, that is, name her Zainab.

Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) says that an Ansari man, who was called Abu Shu’aib, had a slave who was a butcher. He said to his slave:“Prepare food, I am going to invite the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) along with five men.”He invited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) along with five people. (When the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, set out,) a man started following them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“You have invited us five people, this man is following us. If you wish, you may give him permission, and if you do not wish, let him stay.”He said:“Why not, I will give him (permission to eat the food).”

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A man kept following us; when you invited us, he was not present. Now, if you permit him, he may come inside." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Badri and Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both). These are the words of Abu Mas'ud Badri's narration. (The complete narration is as follows): It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man, who was called Abu Shu'aib, came to his butcher slave and ordered him to prepare food for five people, because he had perceived from the face of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that he was hungry. He prepared the food, then he invited the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, a man started following him, who was not present at the time the invitation was given. When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the door of the (host's) house, he said to the householder: ... " He said: I permit him, let him come inside."

Ishaq bin Saeed narrates from his father that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them) came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Ibn Zubair! Refrain from deviation in the sanctuary of Allah, for I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Soon, a man from the Quraysh will violate the sanctity of the House of Allah. If his sins are weighed against the sins of all jinn and mankind (on a scale), his side will be heavier." Reflect upon your actions, lest you be that person.

Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Hassan bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) on the day of Banu Qurayzah:“Satirize the polytheists (through poetry), indeed (Jibril, peace be upon him) is with you.”

Sayyiduna Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Satirize (the polytheists) with poetry, for indeed the believer strives with both his life and his wealth. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! It is as if you are shooting arrows at them (through these poems)."
