'Sayyiduna Wathilah bin Al-Asqa’ (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Allah, Glorified and Exalted be He, chose Kinana from among the descendants of Sayyiduna Isma’il (peace be upon him), and chose Quraysh from among Kinana, and chose Banu Hashim from among Quraysh, and chose me from among Banu Hashim.'

`Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, I will be the leader of the children of Adam. And my grave will be the first to be opened, and I will be the first to intercede, and my intercession will be the first to be accepted.

Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace be upon him) said: The example of what Allah has sent me with of guidance and knowledge is like rain that falls upon the earth. Some of it is a portion that absorbs the water and brings forth much grass and greenery. Another portion is hard and holds the water, so Allah benefits the people with it; they drink from it, give drink to others, and graze their animals. And another portion is barren land that neither retains water nor grows grass (like a smooth rock upon which water falls and flows away). This is the example of the one who understands Allah’s religion and benefits from what Allah has sent me with; he learns and teaches others. And the example of the one who does not pay attention and does not accept the guidance with which I have been sent by Allah.

Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My example and the example of my religion with which Allah has sent me is like the example of a person who came to his people and said, "O my people! I have seen the army with my own eyes (i.e., the enemy's army), and I am a clear warner, so flee quickly." Now, some people from his nation accepted his word and fled that very evening and went away safely, while some denied him and remained at their place till morning. In the morning, the army attacked them and destroyed them and uprooted them completely. Thus, this is the example of the one who obeyed me and followed what I have brought, and the one who did not listen to me and denied the true religion.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: My example and the example of the other prophets who came before me is like that of a person who built a house and adorned and beautified it, but left a space for one brick in one of its corners. So people began to walk around it and admired the building, and they said: Why was this one brick not placed here? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I am that brick, and I am the Seal of the Prophets.

Narrated Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I know a stone in Mecca which used to greet me before I was commissioned with Prophethood. I still recognize it now.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and his companions were at the place of Zawra { اور زوراء مدینہ میں مسجد اور بازار کے نزدیک ایک مقام ہے } The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked for a bowl of water and placed his hand in it, then water began to gush forth from between his fingers and all the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) performed ablution with it. Qatadah said: I asked Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Hamzah! How many people were you at that time?" Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "About three hundred."

Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We set out with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in the year of the Battle of Tabuk. During this journey, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would combine two prayers. Thus, he would combine and perform Zuhr and Asr together, and Maghrib and Isha together. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the prayer. Then he came out and combined and performed Zuhr and Asr together, then went inside. After that, he came out again and combined and performed Maghrib and Isha together. After this, he said: "Tomorrow, if Allah wills, you will reach the spring of Tabuk, and you will not reach it before sunrise. Whoever among you reaches the spring, let him not touch its water until I arrive." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Then we reached the spring, and two men had reached there before us. The condition of the spring's water was such that it was as much as a shoelace, and that too was trickling slowly. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked those two men, "Did you touch its water?" They said, "Yes." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) rebuked them (because they had acted against his instruction) and conveyed to them what Allah had willed. Then the people collected a little water in a vessel with their hands. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) washed his hands and face in it, then poured that water into the spring. The spring began to gush forth and flow, and the people (gave water to their animals and themselves). After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Mu'adh! If you live long, you will see that the water of this (spring) will fill gardens." (This too was a great miracle of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). There were thirty thousand men in that army, and in another narration, it is said there were seventy thousand men.)

Narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him for food. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him half a wasq of barley (a wasq is sixty sa’). Then that man, his wife, and his guest kept eating from it, until the man measured it. Then he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If you had not measured it, you would have continued to eat from it and it would have remained as it was (because by measuring it, their trust in Allah was lost and impatience was shown, so the blessing was gone).

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him): When the trench was being dug (around Madinah), I found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) hungry. I returned to my wife and said, "Do you have anything (to eat)? For I have found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) extremely hungry." She brought out a bag in which there was a sa’ (measure) of barley, and we had a young goat at home. I slaughtered it, and my wife ground the flour. She finished at the same time as I did, and I cut the meat and put it in the pot. Then, as I was about to return to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), my wife said, "Do not disgrace me before the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and those with him (because the food is little, so do not invite too many people)." I went to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and quietly said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have slaughtered a young goat and prepared a sa’ of barley flour that we had. Please come with a few people." Upon hearing this, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) called out, "O people of the trench! Jabir has prepared a feast for you, so come!" And he said, "Do not take the pot off the fire, and do not bake the bread until I come." Then I went home, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also arrived. He was in front, and the people were behind him. I went to my wife, and she said, "You will be in trouble, and people will blame you." I said, "I only did what you told me (but the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, announced it and invited everyone)." I brought out the flour, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) put his blessed lips on it and prayed for blessing. Then he went to our pot, spat in it, and prayed for blessing. After that, he said (to my wife), "Call a woman who can bake bread with you, and keep taking out from the pot with a ladle, but do not take it off the fire." Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There were a thousand men with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I swear, all of them ate until they were satisfied and left, and the pot was still boiling as it was, and the flour was the same, and bread was still being made from it.
