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: "Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) performed circumcision at the age of eighty years.

It is narrated from Umm Muhajir, may Allah have mercy on her, that I came as a captive among the slave women of Rome.

It is narrated from Salim (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) performed circumcision on me and Naeem, and on our behalf, a ram was slaughtered. Thus, we used to boast to the other children that a ram had been slaughtered on our behalf.

It is narrated from Umm ‘Alqamah (may Allah have mercy on her) that the nieces of Sayyidah ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had their circumcision performed, so it was suggested to Sayyidah ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her): Should we not call someone to entertain them? She said: That is fine. So she sent a message to ‘Adi, and he came. When Sayyidah ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) passed through the house, she saw that he was singing and swaying. He was very hairy. Sayyidah ‘A’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Uff! Remove this devil, remove him.

It is narrated from Aslam, the freed slave of Umar (may Allah have mercy on him), that when we came to Syria with Sayyiduna Umar ibn Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), the chief of that place came to him and said: O Commander of the Faithful! I have prepared food for you, and I wish that you would come to my house with a few dignitaries. This will strengthen my work and also be an honor for me. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We cannot enter your churches while these pictures are present in them.

It is narrated from Umm Muhajir, may Allah have mercy on her, she says: I and some slave girls were brought as captives from Rome. Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, invited us to Islam. So, except for me and another woman, none accepted Islam. Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him, said: Have both of them circumcised and purify them. Then I used to serve Sayyiduna Uthman, may Allah be pleased with him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he said: Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) performed his circumcision when he was one hundred and twenty years old, and then he lived for eighty years after that.

Sa‘id (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) was the first person to perform circumcision, and he was the first to offer hospitality. Likewise, he was the first to trim the moustache and nails, and his hair was the first to turn white. So he said: O my Lord! What is this? Allah Almighty said: "This is dignity." Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) said: O my Lord! Increase me in dignity.

It is narrated from Hasan al-Basri, may Allah have mercy on him, that he said: Are you not amazed at Ibn Malik ibn Mundhir, that he went out seeking elderly new Muslim farmers from among the Romans, examined them, and ordered that they be circumcised, even though it was cold (and the wound is also painful)?

It is narrated from Bilal bin Ka'b 'Uki (may Allah have mercy on him) that I, Ibrahim bin Adham, Abdul Aziz bin Qareer, and Musa bin Yasar—all four of us—visited Yahya bin Hassan (may Allah have mercy on him) in his village, and he presented food. Musa bin Yasar did not eat because he was fasting. Yahya (may Allah have mercy on him) said: In this mosque, a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) from Banu Kinana, whose kunyah was Abu Qarsafah, led us in prayer for forty years. He used to fast one day and break his fast the next day. When a boy was born to my father, he invited this companion (may Allah be pleased with him) on his fasting day, so he broke his fast. So Ibrahim got up and cleared a place for him with his sheet, and Musa broke his fast. Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Abu Qarsafah's name was Jundarah bin Khishnah.
