It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a Jew invited the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with barley bread and old oil, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer two black and white horned rams as sacrifice, and he would mention the name of Allah and say Takbeer. I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would slaughter them with his own hand and would place his foot on their side.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral passed by in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people praised it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It has become obligatory." Then another funeral passed by and the people criticized it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It has become obligatory."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) fell ill with his final illness, he did not come out for three days. Once, the prayer was established and Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) stepped forward to lead the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) lifted the curtain of his house. We had never seen such a sight as the radiant face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shining like an open page. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) signaled to Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) to move forward and complete the prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) let the curtain fall. After that, until his passing, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not able to come for the prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he had Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) seated behind him. Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) was elderly and well-known, whereas the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was young and not widely recognized. Therefore, if anyone met them on the way and asked, "Abu Bakr! Who is this person ahead of you?" he would reply, "He is showing me the way." The listener would think that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was showing him the way, while Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) meant the way of goodness by this.

Once, on the way, Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) looked back and saw that a horseman had come very close to them. He said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! This rider has reached us." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards him and said, "O Allah! Make him fall." At that very moment, his horse threw him off its back and stood neighing. The horseman said, "O Messenger of Allah! Give me a command." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Go back to your place and do not let anyone reach us." In the early part of the day, that person was striving against the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), but by the end of the day, he became a weapon for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Thus, as they continued their journey, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached a rocky area and camped there, and sent for the Ansar. They came, greeted both of them, and said, "Ride with peace and tranquility and come." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) mounted, and the Ansar surrounded them with armed guards for protection. Meanwhile, in Madinah Munawwarah, it was announced that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had arrived. People began peeking out to see the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and started chanting, "The Messenger of Allah has come!"

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) walked until he reached the house of Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) and dismounted there. While the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was talking to the household, Abdullah bin Salam heard the news. At that time, he was cutting dates in his orchard for his family. He quickly cut the dates, took them with him, and presented himself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), listened to his words, and then returned home.

Meanwhile, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the people, "Among our relatives, whose house is the closest?" Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) presented himself and said, "This is my house and this is my door." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then go and arrange a place for us to rest." Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) went and made the arrangements, then returned and said, "O Messenger of Allah! The arrangement for rest has been made. Both of you please come and rest with the blessing of Allah."

When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, Abdullah bin Salam also came to him and said, "I bear witness that you are the true Messenger of Allah and have come with the truth. The Jews know that I am their chief, son of a chief, and a scholar, son of a scholar. Call them and ask them." So they came, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, "O group of Jews! Fear Allah, by Allah, besides whom there is no deity. You know that I am the true Messenger of Allah and I have come to you with the truth, so accept Islam." They said, "We do not know anything."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Between the eyes of the Dajjal, 'Kafir' (disbeliever) will be written, which every Muslim will read, whether he is illiterate or literate."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to drink water in three breaths and used to say that this method is easier, more pleasant, and more beneficial.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he stayed in the upper part of Madinah in the neighborhood of Banu Amr bin Awf and remained there for fourteen nights. Then he sent for the chiefs of Banu Najjar, who came with their swords hanging by their sides. That scene is still before my eyes: the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his ride, Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) was behind him, and the people of Banu Najjar were around them, until the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached the courtyard of Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). In the beginning, wherever the time for prayer occurred, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would pray there, even in the sheep pens. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered a mosque to be built and called the people of Banu Najjar and said to them, "O Banu Najjar! Settle the price of this garden with me." They replied, "We will take its price only from Allah." At that time, there were some graves of polytheists, a wasteland, and a tree there. At the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the graves of the polytheists were dug up, the wasteland was leveled, and the tree was cut down. A tree was planted towards the qiblah side of the mosque, and the doors were made of stone. People would hand bricks to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say, "O Allah! The real goodness is the goodness of the Hereafter. O Allah! Grant victory to the Ansar and the Muhajirin."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had the best character among all people. I had a brother whose name was Abu Umair. It is also reported that he had been weaned. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would come, he would say to him, "Abu Umair! What happened to the Nughair?"—it was a bird with which he used to play. Sometimes, the time for prayer would come while he was at our house, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would clean the bedding beneath him and order water to be sprinkled on it, and then he would stand for prayer. We would stand behind him, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would lead us in prayer. It should be noted that our bedding was made from palm branches.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I brought Abdullah, the son of Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was applying tar to his camels. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you have anything with you?" I replied, "I have Ajwa dates." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took a date, chewed it in his mouth to soften it, gathered his saliva, and put it into the child's mouth, and the child began to suck it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Dates are the beloved thing of the Ansar." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named him Abdullah.
