Narrated Abu Dhar:
Allah's Apostle said, "While I was at Mecca the roof of my house was
opened and Gabriel descended, opened my chest, and washed it with
Zam-zam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and
faith and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it.
Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the nearest heaven,
when I reached the nearest heaven, Gabriel said to the gatekeeper of
the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'Who is it?'
Gabriel answered: 'Gabriel.' He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?'
Gabriel replied, 'Yes, Muhammad I is with me.' He asked, 'Has he
been called?' Gabriel said, 'Yes.' So the gate was opened and we
went over the nearest heaven and there we saw a man sitting with
some people on his right and some on his left. When he looked
towards his right, he laughed and when he looked toward his left he
wept. Then he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious son.' I
asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is Adam and the people
on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on his
right are the people of Paradise and those on his left are the
people of Hell and when he looks towards his right he laughs and
when he looks towards his left he weeps.'
Then he ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and he
(Gabriel) said to its gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper
said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven had said
and he opened the gate. Anas said: "Abu Dhar added that the Prophet
met Adam, Idris, Moses, Jesus and Abraham, he (Abu Dhar) did not
mention on which heaven they were but he mentioned that he (the
Prophet ) met Adarn on the nearest heaven and Abraham on the sixth
heaven. Anas said, "When Gabriel along with the Prophet passed by
Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and pious
brother.' The Prophet asked, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is
Idris." The Prophet added, "I passed by Moses and he said, 'Welcome!
O pious Prophet and pious brother.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?'
Gabriel replied, 'He is Moses.' Then I passed by Jesus and he said,
'Welcome! O pious brother and pious Prophet.' I asked, 'Who is he?'
Gabriel replied, 'He is Jesus.
Then I passed by Abraham and he said, 'Welcome! O pious Prophet and
pious son.' I asked Gabriel, 'Who is he?' Gabriel replied, 'He is
Abraham. The Prophet added, 'Then Gabriel ascended with me to a
place where I heard the creaking of the pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin
Malik said: The Prophet said, "Then Allah enjoined fifty prayers on
my followers when I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by
Moses who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I
replied, 'He has enjoined fifty prayers on them.' Moses said, 'Go
back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction) for your followers will
not be able to bear it.' (So I went back to Allah and requested for
reduction) and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Moses again
and informed him about it, he said, 'Go back to your Lord as your
followers will not be able to bear it.' So I returned to Allah and
requested for further reduction and half of it was reduced. I again
passed by Moses and he said to me: 'Return to your Lord, for your
followers will not be able to bear it. So I returned to Allah and He
said, 'These are five prayers and they are all (equal to) fifty (in
reward) for My Word does not change.' I returned to Moses and he
told me to go back once again. I replied, 'Now I feel shy of asking
my Lord again.' Then Gabriel took me till we '' reached
Sidrat-il-Muntaha (Lote tree of; the utmost boundry) which was
shrouded in colors, indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise
where I found small (tents or) walls (made) of pearls and its earth
was of musk."

knee was touching the thigh of the Prophet . He uncovered his thigh
and I saw the whiteness of the thigh of the Prophet. When he entered
the town, he said, 'Allahu Akbar! Khaibar is ruined. Whenever we
approach near a (hostile) nation (to fight) then evil will be the
morning of those who have been warned.' He repeated this thrice. The
people came out for their jobs and some of them said, 'Muhammad (has
come).' (Some of our companions added, "With his army.") We
conquered Khaibar, took the captives, and the booty was collected.
Dihya came and said, 'O Allah's Prophet! Give me a slave girl from
the captives.' The Prophet said, 'Go and take any slave girl.' He
took Safiya bint Huyai. A man came to the Prophet and said, 'O
Allah's Apostles! You gave Safiya bint Huyai to Dihya and she is the
chief mistress of the tribes of Quraiza and An-Nadir and she befits
none but you.' So the Prophet said, 'Bring him along with her.' So
Dihya came with her and when the Prophet saw her, he said to Dihya,
'Take any slave girl other than her from the captives.' Anas added:

the Prophet . So the Prophet was a bridegroom and he said, 'Whoever
has anything (food) should bring it.' He spread out a leather sheet
(for the food) and some brought dates and others cooking butter. (I

(a kind of meal). And that was Walrma (the marriage banquet) of

Mosque), Allah's Apostle stood on it facing the Qibla and said
'Allahu Akbar', and the people stood behind him (and led the people
in prayer). He recited and bowed and the people bowed behind him.
Then he raised his head and stepped back, got down and prostrated on
the ground and then he again ascended the pulpit, recited, bowed,
raised his head and stepped back, got down and prostrate on the
ground. So, this is what I know about the pulpit."

said, "You have prayed so much and so much." So the Prophet bent his
legs, faced the Qibla and performed two prostrations (of Sahu) and
finished his prayers with Tasiim (by turning his face to right and
left saying: 'As-Salamu'Alaikum-Warahmat-ullah'). When he turned his
face to us he said, "If there had been anything changed in the
prayer, surely I would have informed you but I am a human being like
you and liable to forget like you. So if I forget remind me and if
anyone of you is doubtful about his prayer, he should follow what he
thinks to be correct and complete his prayer accordingly and finish
it and do two prostrations (of Sahu)."

Narrated 'Umar (bin Al-Khattab):
My Lord agreed with me in three things:

as our praying place (for some of our prayers). So came the Divine
Inspiration: And take you (people) the station of Abraham as a place
of prayer (for some of your prayers e.g. two Rakat of Tawaf of
Ka'ba)". (2.125)
2. And as regards the (verse of) the veiling of the women, I said,
'O Allah's Apostle! I wish you ordered your wives to cover
themselves from the men because good and bad ones talk to them.' So
the verse of the veiling of the women was revealed.
3. Once the wives of the Prophet made a united front against the
Prophet and I said to them, 'It may be if he (the Prophet) divorced
you, (all) that his Lord (Allah) will give him instead of you wives
better than you.' So this verse (the same as I had said) was
revealed." (66.5).

apparent from his face. So he got up and scraped it off with his
hand and said, "Whenever anyone of you stands for the prayer, he is
speaking in private to his Lord or his Lord is between him and his
Qibla. So, none of you should spit in the direction of the Qibla but
one can spit to the left or under his foot." The Prophet then took
the corner of his sheet and spat in it and folded it and said, "Or
you can do like this. "
