It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to have his head shaved (on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage), Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) took some hair from one part of his head in his hands. Then those hairs were taken by Umm Sulaym, and she used to mix them in her perfume and shake them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were reciting the Holy Qur'an. Among us were Arabs, non-Arabs, black and white people of all kinds. During this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said, "You are upon goodness (and in the best of times) that you are reciting the Book of Allah and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is among you. Soon a time will come upon people when they will rattle like utensils rattle; they will take their reward immediately and will not keep anything for the Hereafter."

It is narrated that Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to act contrary to Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him). Once, Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) asked him the reason for this, so he replied, "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the prayer in a certain way. If you conform to that, I will pray with you, but if you act contrary to it, I will perform my prayer alone and go home."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing eight rak'ahs of Duha prayer while on a journey, and after completing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have performed a prayer of longing and fear. I asked my Lord for three things; He granted me two and withheld one. I requested that my Ummah not be destroyed by famine, and Allah accepted it. I requested that the enemy not be given complete dominance over them, and Allah accepted that as well. Then I presented the third request that they not be divided into different sects, but Allah did not grant this."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He had performed ablution, but a spot equal to the size of a nail on his foot was left dry. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Go back and perform ablution properly."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surah Al-Kafiroon is equal to a quarter of the Qur'an, Surah Az-Zalzalah is equal to a quarter of the Qur'an, and Surah An-Nasr is also equal to a quarter of the Qur'an.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some people will be admitted to Hell because of their sins. When they are burnt and become like coal, they will be admitted to Paradise. The people of Paradise will ask: Who are these people? It will be said to them: These are the people of Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade drinking water while standing.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) took some barley equal to half a mudd, then picked up a container of ghee, took out a little ghee from it, and by mixing both things together, prepared "khateefah" (a type of food), and sent me to invite the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for food. When I reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he was sitting among the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them). I said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that Hazrat Umm Sulaim (may Allah be pleased with her) has sent me to invite you for food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Me and my companions as well?" Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out with his companions. I quickly reached home and said to Hazrat Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has brought his companions as well. Hearing this, Hazrat Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) went towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and, walking beside him, said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! There is only a little 'khateefah' here, which Umm Sulaim has made from barley equal to half a mudd." When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached their house, that food was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on it and said, "Call ten people." So ten people came inside and ate to their fill, then in groups of ten, forty people ate that food and all ate to their fill, and the food remained as it was. We also ate from it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul! If a woman of Paradise were to look down upon the earth, the space between them would become illuminated and filled with fragrance, and the scarf on her head is better than the world and whatever is in it.
