It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade two types of clothing and two types of sales. In sales, he forbade mulamasa and munabadhah (mulamasa is when a person touches his garment, and munabadhah is when a person throws the garment towards another), and considering the sale to be complete merely by touching or throwing without seeing. And the two types of clothing that were forbidden are: samma’ (boli bakl); samma’ is when one edge of the garment is placed on one shoulder in such a way that there is nothing on the other shoulder. And the second type of clothing is to sit and wrap oneself with a garment in such a way that there is no separate cloth over the private parts.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), he stated that the fasting of mine was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to me and I offered him a cushion. That cushion was made of leather and filled with palm leaves. So the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat on the ground and the cushion was placed between me and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to me: "Are three fasts every month not sufficient for you?" I said: O Messenger of Allah! (That is too few), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Five fasts." I said: O Messenger of Allah! (That is too few), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Then keep seven." I said: O Messenger of Allah! (That is too few), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Then keep nine." I said: O Messenger of Allah! (Nine are also few), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Eleven." I said: O Messenger of Allah! (Even eleven are few), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There are no fasts superior to the fasts of Dawud (peace be upon him), and they are the fasts of half the year, that is, fasting one day and breaking the fast the next day."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by my father, so he (my father) requested him to sit and spread a sheet for him. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sat on it.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Qaylah (may Allah be pleased with her) that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sitting squatting with his arms wrapped around his legs. When I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sitting in this humble manner, I trembled out of fear.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hanzalah bin Huzaym (may Allah be pleased with him) that I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and saw that he (peace be upon him) was sitting cross-legged.

It is narrated from Abu Zurayq (may Allah have mercy on him) that he saw Ali bin Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him) sitting cross-legged in such a way that one leg was placed over the other, that is, the right leg was placed over the left.

It is narrated from Imran bin Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) that I saw Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) sitting cross-legged in such a way that he had placed one foot over the other.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Salim bin Jabir Hijimi (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) while he was sitting with his knees drawn up, wrapped in a sheet, and the ends of the sheet were hanging over his blessed feet. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Advise me. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Fear Allah, and do not consider any good deed insignificant, even if you pour some water from your bucket into the vessel of one who asks for water, or speak to your brother with a smiling, cheerful face. And avoid letting your lower garment hang below the ankles, for this is out of arrogance, and Allah does not like it. And if someone reproaches you for something he knows about you, do not reproach him for a fault you know about him. Leave it; its burden will be upon him and its reward will be for you. And do not revile anything.”The narrator says: After that, I never reviled any human or animal.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: Whenever I see Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him), tears flow from my eyes. And the reason for this is that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came out of the house and saw me in the mosque, and he took my hand and I walked with him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) did not speak to me until we reached the market of Banu Qaynuqa. The Prophet (peace be upon him) walked around it and observed the situation. Then he returned, and I was with him, until we came to the mosque. Then he sat down with his legs drawn up and said: "Where is the little one? Bring the little one to me." So Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him) came running and fell into the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) lap, then put his hand into the Prophet’s (peace be upon him) beard. Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) opened his blessed mouth and put it into the mouth of Sayyiduna Hasan (may Allah be pleased with him). Then he said: "O Allah! I love him, so You love him, and love those who love him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led them in the Zuhr prayer. After concluding the prayer with salam, he sat on the pulpit and mentioned the Day of Resurrection. He (peace be upon him) stated, "Great calamities will occur in it," then said: "Whoever wants to ask me about anything, let him ask. By Allah! As long as I am present in this place, whatever you ask me about, I will tell you." Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When people heard this from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), they wept greatly, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) continued to say: "Ask whatever you wish to ask." After this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) sat on his knees and said: We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our religion, and with Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) as our Messenger. When Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) became silent. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "These events are near. Beware, I swear by the One in whose hand is my soul, Paradise and Hell were presented to me on this side of the wall while I was praying. I have never seen as much good and evil as I saw today."
