Narrated from Umm al-Mu’minin Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that Harith bin Hisham asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him),“How does revelation come to you?”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied,“Sometimes it comes to me like the ringing of a bell, and that is the hardest for me. Then when it ends, I remember what was said. And sometimes an angel comes to me in the form of a man, and I remember what he says.”

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to our house and rested. He began to sweat, and my mother brought a bottle and started wiping his sweat and putting it into it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) woke up and said, "O Umm Sulaym, what are you doing?" She replied, "This is your sweat, which we mix in our perfume, and it is itself the best fragrance of all."

‘Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that’ the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go to the house of Umm Sulaym and would sleep on her bedding, and she would not be at home. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and was sleeping on her bedding. People called her and said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is sleeping in your house on your bedding. Hearing this, she came and saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sweating, and his sweat had collected on the leather bedding. Umm Sulaym opened her box and began to wipe the sweat and collect it in bottles. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) woke up startled and said,“O Umm Sulaym! What are you doing?”She said,“O Messenger of Allah! We hope for blessings for our children from this.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“You have done right.”

`Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the morning prayer, the servants of Madinah would bring their vessels of water, and whichever vessel was brought to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he would dip his hand into it. And sometimes, even on cold days, it would happen that he would dip his hand.

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while the barber was shaving his head and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) were around him; they wanted that not a single hair should fall to the ground, but rather fall into someone's hand.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman had a slight mental disorder. She said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have something to ask you (meaning, I want to say something that I cannot say in front of people)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Umm Fulan! (i.e., he mentioned her name) I will do your work wherever you wish." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went aside with her on the road until she finished what she wanted to say.

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I have not seen anyone show as much affection to children as the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did. The son of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Sayyiduna Ibrahim, used to be nursed (in the outskirts of Madinah). (The outskirts were some villages near Madinah.) The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to go there, and we would go with him. Then he would visit the house, where there would be smoke because the husband of "Annah" was a blacksmith. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would take the child, love him, and then return. Amr said: When Sayyiduna Ibrahim passed away, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ibrahim is my son. He passed away while still nursing. Now he has two wet nurses who will nurse him in Paradise for the duration he was to be nursed."

Narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that Aqra’ bin Habis saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kissing Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him). He said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have ten children and I have not kissed any of them." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Whoever does not show mercy (to children, orphans, the helpless, and the weak), Allah will not show mercy to him."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was on a journey and an Abyssinian slave whose name was Anjasha was singing a song. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Anjasha! Drive slowly and lead the camels as if they are carrying glass vessels."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was the most beautiful of all people, the most generous of all, and the bravest of all. One night, the people of Madinah were frightened (by the fear of an enemy's arrival), so they headed towards the direction from where the sound was coming. On the way, they found the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) returning (he had gone ahead of everyone alone to investigate), and he was the first to go towards the sound. He was riding bareback on the horse of Sayyiduna Abu Talhah, and there was a sword hanging around his neck. He was saying, "Do not fear, do not fear. This horse is like a river (swift)," and previously that horse was slow (this too was a miracle of the Prophet, that it became swift).
