Mukhtasar Sahih Bukhari
Giving fatwa while mounted or standing
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stayed in Mina for the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage. People would ask him questions about religious matters. Then a man came and said, "Unknowingly, I shaved my head before sacrificing (the animal)." So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(Now) sacrifice (the animal), and there is no harm." Then another man came and said, "Unknowingly, I offered the sacrifice before stoning (the Jamarat)." So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(Now) perform the stoning, and there is no harm." (Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) says that on that day) whatever was asked of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) regarding the order of the rites of Hajj, whether it was done earlier or later, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said the same: "Do it now, and there is no harm."
Answering fatwa by gesture
Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: "(Soon) knowledge will be taken away, ignorance and tribulations will prevail, and 'harj' will increase greatly." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is 'harj'?" So he (peace be upon him) gestured with his hand sideways and said: "Like this!" It seemed that by 'harj' he (peace be upon him) meant killing.
Lady Asma bint Abi Bakr (may Allah be pleased with her) says: I came to Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) and she was praying, so I asked her, "What is the matter with the people (why are they so anxious)?" She pointed towards the sky (to show that there was an eclipse of the sun). Then, meanwhile, all the people stood up (for the eclipse prayer), so Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said, "Subhan Allah." I asked, "(Is this eclipse) a sign?" She nodded her head in affirmation. Then I also stood up (for the prayer), until I fainted and began to pour water over my head. Then (when the prayer was over and the eclipse had passed), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) praised and glorified Allah and said: "That which had not been shown to me before, I saw (at that time) while standing in my place. Even Paradise and Hell. And it was revealed to me that you will be tested in your graves—a trial similar to or close to the trial of the False Messiah (Dajjal)." (Fatimah, the narrator of the hadith, says: I do not remember which of the two words Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) used.) It will be said, "What do you know about this man?" If he is a believer or certain (Fatimah says: I do not remember which of the two words Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) used), he will say, "He is Muhammad (peace be upon him), the Messenger of Allah. He came to us with miracles and guidance, so we accepted his word and followed him, and he is Muhammad (peace be upon him)." (He will say this) three times. Then it will be said to him, "Sleep in peace. Indeed, we have known that you believed in Muhammad (peace be upon him)." But the hypocrite or the doubter (Fatimah says: I do not remember which of the two words Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) used) will say, "I do not know (the reality), but I heard people saying something about him, so I said the same."
Traveling for knowledge and teaching family
Narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him):
He married the daughter of Abu Ihab bin Aziz. After that, a woman came and stated that she had suckled Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) and the girl whom Uqbah had married (thus, both are foster brother and sister and their marriage is not valid). Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I do not know that you have suckled me, nor have you ever informed me of this before." Then Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) rode (from Makkah) to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in Madinah and asked him (about this issue). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "How (can you now have marital relations with her), when it has been stated (which creates doubt of prohibition)?" So Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) separated from the woman, and she married another man.

Taking turns to seek knowledge
Narrated from Amir al-Mu’minin Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him):
I and an Ansari neighbor of mine used to live in the locality of Banu Umayyah bin Zaid, which was situated at the higher part of Madinah. We used to take turns to go to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). One day he would go, and one day I would go. On the day I went, I would bring him the news of that day—revelation and other matters—and on the day he went, he would do the same.
One day, my Ansari friend came (after attending the Prophet, peace be upon him, on his turn) and knocked at my door very hard and called out my name,“Is he here?”I got scared by his agitated manner and came out to him. He said,“A great event has happened (i.e., the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, has divorced his wives)!”
I went to Hafsa (Mother of the Believers, may Allah be pleased with her), and she was weeping. I asked her,“Did the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) divorce you all?”She replied,“I do not know.”
Then I went to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and, while standing, I asked,“Did you divorce your wives?”He replied,“No.”
At that, I exclaimed in great astonishment,“Allahu Akbar!”(How mistaken the Ansari was!)

Admonishing harshly when seeing disliked act
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came and said,“O Messenger of Allah! I may soon not be able to join the prayer (in congregation), because so-and-so leads us in very lengthy prayers.”Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says,“I have never seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) more angry in giving advice than he was that day.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“O people! You are those who make others dislike (the religion) (see?), whoever leads the people in prayer should lighten it (i.e., make it short in every posture), because among the followers are the sick, the weak, and those who have needs.”
Narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the ruling regarding a lost (unclaimed) item. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Recognize its binding," or he said, "its container and its pouch (recognize them), then announce it for a year (i.e., search for its real owner). After that (if no owner is found), benefit from it, and if its owner comes (even after a year), then hand it over to him." Then that man asked, "What about a lost camel (if found, what should be done)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) became angry until both his blessed cheeks turned red, or (the narrator said) his blessed face turned red, and he said: "What have you to do with that camel? Its water bag and its shoes are with it, it will reach water (and drink), and eat (leaves) from the trees, so leave it until its owner finds it." Then that man asked, "What about a lost goat (is it permissible to take it)?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(Take it, because) it is for you, or for your brother, or (if it does not come into anyone's hands) then for the wolf."
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that (on one occasion) some questions were asked to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) which were contrary to his temperament. (So he did not give any answer, but) when there was a flood of such questions before him, he became angry and said: "Ask me whatever you wish." So a man said, "Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your father is Hudhafah." Then another man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Who is my father?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "Your father is Salim, the slave of Shaybah." Then when Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) saw the signs of anger on the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), he submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! We repent to Allah, the Most Great and Exalted (meaning, we will never ask you such questions again)."
Repeating a point three times for clarity
Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whenever the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said something, he would repeat it three times so that (its meaning could be well) understood. When he came to a group of people and greeted them, he would greet them three times.
Man teaching his slave and family
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There are three persons for whom there is a double reward: (1) A person who is from the People of the Book, who believed in his own prophet and (then) also believed in Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him); (2) A slave, when he fulfills the rights of Allah and the rights of his masters; (3) A person who has a slave-girl, teaches her good manners and gives her excellent training, and gives her good and excellent education, then sets her free and marries her, so for him there is a double reward.
