It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day I served the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When I saw that I was finished with serving him, I thought that now the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would take a nap (rest at noon), so I left his presence. Outside, children were playing, so I stood and began to watch their game. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and stopped by them, greeted them with salam, then called me and sent me for some task. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained standing there in the shade until I returned. I was delayed in going to my mother, so she asked: Why were you late? I said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent me for some task. She asked: For what task did he send you? I said: That is the secret of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). She said: Guard the secret of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Then I did not tell anyone from the creation about this matter of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). (Sayyiduna Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, was saying to his student:) If I were to tell anyone, I would have told you.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that he described the appearance of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: The blessed stature of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was of medium height but slightly tall. His complexion was extremely fair, the hair of his beard was very black, his teeth were extremely beautiful, and his eyelashes were long. There was a gap between his two shoulders. The cheeks of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, were even. He walked with his entire foot firmly placed, there was no depth in his soles. When he turned towards something, he would turn completely, and when he turned his face, he would turn fully in that direction. I have not seen anyone like the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, before or after him.

It is narrated from Aslam (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: When I send you to someone to call him, do not tell him why I have called him, because in this way Satan will prepare a lie for him (regarding this matter) and he will not tell the truth.

It is narrated from Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) that he disliked looking at a Muslim brother with sharp eyes. Similarly, when he got up to leave, he disliked watching him from behind (to see where he was going). He also disliked asking, "Where have you come from and where are you going?"

It is narrated from Malik bin Zubayd, may Allah have mercy on him, that we passed by the place of Rabdhah near Sayyiduna Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, so he asked: Where have you come from? We said: We are coming from Makkah or Bayt al-Atiq. He said: Was that your only purpose? We said: Yes. He said: Was there no other purpose of trade or buying and selling along with it? We said: No. He said: Now start your deeds afresh (Allah has forgiven all previous sins).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever makes an image, he will be forced on the Day of Resurrection to breathe a soul into it, and he will be punished, and he will not be able to breathe a soul into it. And whoever fabricates a false dream will be forced to tie two grains of barley together, and he will be punished, and he will never be able to tie them together. And whoever tries to listen to the conversation of people who are avoiding him, that is, do not want him to listen, molten lead will be poured into his ears."

It is narrated from Uryan bin Haysam (may Allah have mercy on him) that my father went to Syedna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) while I was still a boy. When he entered, Syedna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Welcome, welcome! A person sitting on the couch with him said: O Commander of the Believers! Who is this whom you are welcoming? He replied: This is the chief of the people of the East (Iraq), Haysam bin Aswad. I asked: Who is this person who asked? The people said: This is Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas. I asked him: O Abu Fulan! From where will the Dajjal emerge? He replied: I have not seen any people of a city who, more than these people of this city, leave those who are near and ask about those who are far. You are also among those from where the Dajjal will emerge. Then he said: He will emerge from the land of Iraq, which is full of trees and date palms.

It is narrated from Abu Al-Aliyah (may Allah have mercy on him), he says: I was sitting on a couch with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both).

It is narrated from Abu Jamrah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I used to sit with Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he would seat me on his couch. Once he said: Stay with me until I allocate a portion for you from my wealth. So I stayed with him for two months.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), he sat on the throne with the governor of Basra, Hakam bin Abu Aqil Thaqafi, and said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would delay the (Zuhr) prayer in the heat, making it cooler (by praying it a bit later), and when it was cold, he would pray early.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that I came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and he was sitting on a bed or couch made of date-palm rope. Under his blessed head was a leather pillow stuffed with date-palm fibers. There was no cloth between his blessed body and the bed. During this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) entered and began to weep. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked him:“Umar! Why are you weeping?”He replied: O Messenger of Allah! If I did not know that your status with Allah is far greater than that of Caesar and Chosroes, I would not weep. How much worldly luxury they are living in, and you, O Messenger of Allah, are in the condition that I am seeing. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“O Umar! Are you not pleased that for them is the world and for us is the Hereafter?”I said: Why not, O Messenger of Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Then it is so.”
