Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), who was present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) at the Battle of Badr, that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The (angels of mercy) do not enter a house in which there is a dog or pictures (of living beings)."

Narrated Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them): When Hafsa bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with her) became a widow—her husband Khunais bin Hudhafa Sahmi (may Allah be pleased with him), who was a companion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and had participated in the Battle of Badr, died in Madinah—then Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I met Uthman bin Affan (may Allah be pleased with him) and mentioned Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) to him and said,“(She is a widow), if you wish, I can marry her to you?”He said,“I will think about it and inform you.”So I waited for several nights. Then (when I met him) he said,“At the moment, I think it is better that I do not marry.”Then I met Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said,“If you wish, I can marry Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) to you?”But Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent and did not reply to me, so I became more upset with him than I was with Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him). I waited for several more nights, then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent a proposal to Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), so I married her to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). After that, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) met me and said,“Perhaps you were upset with me when you mentioned Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) to me and I did not reply to you?”I said,“Yes, I was.”He said,“The reason I did not reply to you was that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had mentioned Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) to me (i.e., whether he should marry her), and I could not disclose the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). If the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had decided not to marry her, then surely I would have married her.”

Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud Al-Badri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, they will suffice him.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Jubair bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said regarding the captives of Badr: "If Mut'im bin 'Adi were alive today and interceded for these filthy people, I would have released them at his request."

Narrated Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) fought against Banu Nadir and Banu Quraiza (for breaking the treaty). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) exiled Banu Nadir and showed kindness to Banu Quraiza and let them stay. When Quraiza again attacked the Muslims, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) killed their men and distributed their women, children, and property among the Muslims, except for some who obeyed the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He granted them security, and they became Muslims. Then all the Jews of Madinah—Banu Qaynuqa, who were the people of Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him), and the Jews of Banu Haritha, and the rest of the Jews of Madinah—were all exiled.

Narrated Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) burned the trees of Banu Nadir and cut down some of them which were in Buwairah, this verse was revealed: "Whatever you cut down of palm trees or left standing on their trunks, it was by Allah's permission..." (Surah Al-Hashr: 5)

Umm al-Mu'mineen Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the pure wives of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him) to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask for their eighth share from the spoils of war. I used to stop them and say, "Do you not fear Allah? Do you not know the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that we have no heirs; whatever we leave behind is charity." By this, he meant himself, that only the family of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) may eat from this wealth. Then, all the wives of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) refrained from asking for this share at my saying.

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Who will deal with Ka'b bin Ashraf? He has greatly hurt Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)." Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "Do you wish that I kill him?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes." So he said, "Give me permission so that I may say something (to him)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You have permission." So Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) went to him and said, "This man (meaning Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him) has asked us for charity and has put us in hardship. I have come to you to borrow something." Ka'b said, "What is it now? By Allah, you will face much hardship in the future." He replied, "Well, now we have followed him, so suddenly leaving him does not seem good, but we are watching to see what the outcome will be. Anyway, I have come to you to borrow one or two wasqs." Ka'b bin Ashraf said, "Leave something with me as a pledge." He asked, "What do you want as a pledge?" Ka'b said, "Leave your women with me as a pledge." He replied, "How can we leave our women with you? For you are extremely handsome among the Arabs." Ka'b said, "Then leave your sons with me as a pledge." He replied, "How can we leave them as a pledge? Whoever fights with them will taunt us that they were pledged for one or two wasqs, and that would be a disgrace for us. But we will leave our weapons with you." So they made an appointment to meet Ka'b again, and at night they came to Ka'b, bringing with them Abu Na'ilah, Ka'b's foster brother. Ka'b called them near the fort and himself came down from the fort to meet them. His wife asked, "Where are you going at this hour?" Ka'b replied, "Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and my brother Abu Na'ilah are calling me (there is nothing to fear)." The woman said, "It seems as if blood is dripping from this voice." Ka'b said, "It is only my friend Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and my foster brother Abu Na'ilah. And if a noble man is called at night to be struck with a spear, he should immediately accept." Meanwhile, Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) had brought two other men with him. (In narrations other than that of Abu Amr, it is mentioned that they were Abu Abs bin Jabr, Harith bin Aws, and Abbad bin Bishr, may Allah be pleased with them.) (Amr) says that he had told the two men he brought with him, "When Ka'b bin Ashraf comes, I will hold his hair and smell it. When you see that I have firmly held his head, then quickly kill him." (Once, the narrator Amr said) that Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Then I will let you smell it." When Ka'b came to them with his head wrapped in a sheet and the fragrance was spreading from him, Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I have never smelled a better fragrance than today's." Ka'b replied, "I have the most perfumed woman among the Arab women and the most accomplished woman in all of Arabia." Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Do you allow me to smell your head?" He said, "Yes, why not." Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) smelled it and let his companions smell it. He asked, "May I smell it again?" He said, "Yes, you may." So when Muhammad bin Maslamah (may Allah be pleased with him) held him firmly, he said to his companions, "Strike him." So they killed Ka'b bin Ashraf and gave the good news of his killing to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

Sayyiduna Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent some Ansar to Abu Rafi’, the Jew, and appointed Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) as their leader. Abu Rafi’ used to cause great harm to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and was always intent on harming him. He lived in his fortress which was in Hijaz. When these people reached near him, the sun had already set and the people had brought their cattle back in the evening. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions,“You sit here, I will go and try to find a way to enter the fortress by befriending the gatekeeper.”Then he went towards the fortress until he reached near the door. Then he hid himself in his cloak as if someone was sitting to relieve himself. The people of the fortress had gone inside. The gatekeeper called out to Abdullah,“O servant of Allah! If you want to come inside, then come, because I am about to close the door.”I went inside. When everyone had come in, the gatekeeper closed the door and hung the keys on a peg. Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says,“I intended to take the keys, then I took them and opened the door.”Abu Rafi’ used to have storytellers with him and he lived in his upper chamber. When the storytellers left him, I climbed up to the upper chamber. Whenever I opened a door, I would lock it from the inside (and I thought to myself) that even if people became aware of me, they would not be able to reach me before I killed Abu Rafi’. When I reached him, I saw that he was sleeping in a dark room among his children. I did not know his exact place. I called out,“Abu Rafi’!”He replied,“Who is it?”I rushed towards the voice and struck with my sword, my heart was pounding, but the blow missed and he started shouting. I left the room and after a while went back in and (changing my voice) said,“O Abu Rafi’! What was that sound?”He said,“May your mother be bereaved, someone has just struck me with a sword.”Hearing this, I struck a severe blow, although he was already fatally wounded, but he had not died yet. Finally, I placed the tip of the sword on his belly and pressed hard until the sword reached his back. When I was sure that I had killed him, I started opening each door one by one. When I reached the stairs and was coming down, I thought I had reached the ground, but in the moonlit night I fell down (with a thud) and my shin bone broke. I tied it with my turban and came out and sat at the door, saying,“I will not leave tonight until I know whether I have killed him or not.”When the rooster crowed, the announcer (who brings news of death) stood on the wall and said,“I announce the death of Abu Rafi’, the merchant of the people of Hijaz.”Then I went to my companions and said,“Let us go quickly, Allah has caused Abu Rafi’ to be killed.”I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and narrated the whole story. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Stretch out your leg.”I stretched out my leg and he passed his hand over it, and it became as if I had never had any complaint about it.

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) on the day of Uhud (the Battle of Uhud), "If I am killed (in the way of Allah), where will I go?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "(You will go) to Paradise." He threw away the dates he had in his hand and fought so much that he was martyred.
