Sayyiduna Laqit bin Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who was included in the delegation of Banu Muntafiq, narrates: He says, I and a friend of mine went to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but we could not meet him. Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) gave us dates to eat and also presented us with halwa made of flour and ghee. Meanwhile, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived, walking like a young man. As soon as he arrived, he inquired, "Have you people eaten or drunk anything?" We replied, "O Messenger of Allah! Yes." While we were sitting there, a shepherd of goats was standing in the enclosure holding a kid goat in his hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Has the goat given birth?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then now slaughter a goat for us." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us and said, "Do not think that we are slaughtering a goat for your sake. We have one hundred goats, we do not want more than that. Whenever any goat among them gives birth, we order the shepherd to slaughter one goat." Sayyiduna Sabrah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Inform us about the matters of ablution." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When you perform ablution, wash all the limbs thoroughly, do khilal (interlacing) of the fingers, and when you put water in your nose, do so thoroughly, except if you are in a state of fasting (i.e., do not exaggerate in putting water in the nose while performing ablution during fasting)." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! My wife is very foul-mouthed and keeps causing me harm. (What should I do?) She has been with me for a long time and is also the mother of my children." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then keep her under control and keep advising her. If there is any good in her, she will understand, and if you have to hit her, then do not hit her like slaves are beaten."
