It is narrated from Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) that he distributed some sheets among the women of Madinah, and a very fine sheet was left. One of those sitting with him said, "O Commander of the Faithful! Give this sheet to the granddaughter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) who is in your wedlock." They meant Umm Kulthum bint Ali. So Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Umm Sulayt (may Allah be pleased with her) is more deserving of it. She was an Ansari woman. She had pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "On the day of Uhud, she used to bring water skins filled with water for us."

Lady Ruba'i bint Mu'awwidh (may Allah be pleased with her) says: We used to accompany the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) (in jihad), and we would give water (to the fighters), treat the wounded, and carry the martyrs and the injured back to Madinah.

Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) did not sleep one night during a journey, so when he reached Madinah, (he was overcome by sleep). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“If only one of my righteous companions would guard me tonight.”Suddenly, we heard the sound of a weapon. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Who is it?”He replied,“Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas. I have come to guard you, O Messenger of Allah.”Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) slept.

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said:“May the slave of the dirham, the dinar, and the cloak be destroyed; if he is given, he is pleased, and if he is not given, he is displeased. (Such a person) is destroyed and thrown down, and if a thorn pricks him, may no one remove it. Glad tidings to that servant who keeps the reins of his horse in his hand at all times for striving in the way of Allah; his head is covered with dust, his feet are covered with dust; if he is told to stand guard, he stands guard, and if he is appointed at the rear of the army for protection, he remains at the rear. (In short, he obeys whatever order he is given, and due to his poverty, he has no status among the people of the world, to the extent that) if he seeks permission (to visit someone), he is not granted permission, and if he intercedes (for someone), his intercession is not accepted.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him): I went to Khaybar with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to serve him. Then, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was returning from Khaybar and Uhud mountain became visible to him, he said: "This is a mountain that loves us and we love it."

Narrated Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): We were on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The person who had the most shade among us was the one who had made shade with his cloak. Those who were fasting did not do any work, and those who were not fasting lifted up the water skins, filled them with water, and did all kinds of service and work. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Today, those who did not fast have taken all the reward."

Narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d Sa’idi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Guarding for one day in the way of Allah is better than the whole world and whatever is in it. And your smallest place in Paradise, even if it is as small as a whip, is better than the whole world and whatever is in it. And the servant who walks in the way of Allah in the morning or evening, that is better than the whole world and whatever is in it.”

It is narrated from the conqueror of Persia, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him), that he thought he had superiority over many other companions (because of his wealth and bravery). So the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You are helped and provided for because of your weak ones."

Narrated by Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) that he said: "A time will come when people will wage jihad, and it will be said: 'Is there anyone among you who has accompanied the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?' It will be answered: 'Yes, there is.' (Supplication will be made through them) and victory will be granted. Then a time will come when people will say: 'Is there anyone among you who has accompanied the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?' It will be answered: 'Yes, there is.' (Then supplication will be made through them and) victory will be granted. Then a time will come when it will be said: 'Is there anyone among you who has accompanied the one who accompanied the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)?' It will be answered: 'Yes, there is.' (Then supplication will be made through them and) victory will be granted."

Sayyiduna Abu Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the day of Badr, when we had formed rows against the Quraysh and they had formed rows against us, said: "When they come close to you, then shoot arrows at them."
