When the pagans were defeated during the (first stage) of the battle
of Uhud, Satan shouted, "O Allah's slaves! Beware of what is behind
you!" So the front files of the Muslims attacked their own back
files. Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman looked and on seeing his father he
shouted: "My father! My father!" By Allah! The people did not stop
till they killed his father. Hudhaifa then said, "May Allah forgive
you." 'Urwa (the sub-narrator) added, "Hudhaifa continued asking
Allah forgiveness for the killers of his father till he met Allah
(till he died)."

Narrated 'Abdullah bin Buhaina:
Once Allah's Apostle led us in prayer, and after finishing the first
two Rakat, got up (instead of sitting for At-Tahiyyat) and then
carried on with the prayer. When he had finished his prayer, the
people were waiting for him to say Taslim, but before saying Tasiim,
he said Takbir and prostrated; then he raised his head, and saying
Takbir, he prostrated (SAHU) and then raised his head and finished
his prayer with Taslim.
Volume 8, Book 78, Number 664
Narrated Ibn Mas'ud:
that Allah's Prophet led them in the Zuhr prayer and he offered
either more or less Rakat, and it was said to him, "O Allah's
Apostle ! Has the prayer been reduced, or have you forgotten?" He
asked, "What is that?" They said, "You have prayed so many Rak'at."
So he performed with them two more prostrations and said, "These two
prostrations are to be performed by the person who does not know
whether he has prayed more or less (Rakat) in which case he should
seek to follow what is right. And then complete the rest (of the
prayer) and perform two extra prostrations."

account for what I forget and be not hard upon me for my affair
(with you)' (18.73) the first excuse of Moses was his forgetfulness."
Narrated Al-Bara bin Azib that once he had a guest, so he told his
family (on the Day of Id-ul-Adha) that they should slaughter the
animal for sacrifice before he returned from the ('Id) prayer in
order that their guest could take his meal. So his family
slaughtered (the animal ) before the prayer. Then they mentioned
that event to the Prophet who ordered Al-Bara to slaughter another
sacrifice. Al-Bara' said to the Prophet , "I have a young milch
she-goat which is better than two sheep for slaughtering." (The
sub-narrator, Ibn 'Aun used to say, "I don't know whether the
permission (to slaughter a she-goat as a sacrifice) was especially
given to Al-Bara' or if it was in general for all the Muslims.")
(See Hadith No. 99, Vol. 2.)

should slaughter it by mentioning Allah's Name over it."

Allah's Apostle said, "If somebody is ordered (by the ruler or the

Those who purchase a small gain at the cost of Allah's covenants and
their own oaths.' (3.77) (The sub-narrator added:) Al-Ash'ath bin
Qais entered, saying, "What did Abu 'Abdur-Rahman narrate to you?"
They said, "So-and-so," Al-Ash'ath said, "This verse was revealed in
my connection. I had a well on the land of my cousin (and we had a
dispute about it). I reported him to Allah 's Apostle who said (to
me). "You should give evidence (i.e. witness) otherwise the oath of
your opponent will render your claim invalid." I said, "Then he (my
opponent) will take the oath, O Allah's Apostle." Allah's Apostle
said, "Whoever is ordered (by the ruler or the judge) to give an
oath, and he takes a false oath in order to grab the property of a
Muslim, then he will incur Allah's Wrath when he meets Him on the
Day of Resurrection."

portion of that narration. (They said that 'Aisha said), ''Then
Allah revealed the ten Verses starting with:--'Verily! Those who
spread the slander..' (24.11-21)
All these verses were in proof of my innocence. Abu Bakr As-Siddiq
who used to provide for Mistah some financial aid because of his
relation to him, said, "By Allah, I will never give anything (in
charity) to Mistah, after what he has said about 'Aisha" Then Allah
revealed:-- 'And let not those among you who are good and are
wealthy swear not to give (any sort of help) to their kins men....'
(24.22) On that, Abu Bakr said, "Yes, by Allah, I like that Allah
should forgive me." and then resumed giving Mistah the aid he used
to give him and said, "By Allah! I will never withhold it from him."

for the dissolution of my oath."

anything (to present to the Prophet)?" She said, "Yes." Then she
took out a few loaves of barley bread and took a veil of hers and
wrapped the bread with a part of it and sent me to Allah's Apostle.
I went and found Allah's Apostle sitting in the mosque with some
people. I stood up before him. Allah's Apostle said to me, "Has Abu
Talha sent you?" I said, ' Yes. Then Allah's Apostle said to those
who were with him. "Get up and proceed." I went ahead of them (as
their forerunner) and came to Abu Talha and informed him about it.
Abu Talha said, "O Um Sulaim! Allah's Apostle has come and we have
no food to feed them." Um Sulaim said, "Allah and His Apostle know
best." So Abu Talha went out (to receive them) till he met Allah's
Apostle.
Allah's Apostle came in company with Abu Talha and they entered the
house. Allah's Apostle said, "O Um Sulaim! Bring whatever you have."
So she brought that (barley) bread and Allah's Apostle ordered that
bread to be broken into small pieces, and then Um Sulaim poured over
it some butter from a leather butter container, and then Allah's
Apostle said what Allah wanted him to say, (i.e. blessing the food).
Allah's Apostle then said, "Admit ten men." Abu Talha admitted them
and they ate to their fill and went out. He again said, "Admit ten
men." He admitted them, and in this way all the people ate to their
fill, and they were seventy or eighty men."

and His Apostle, and whoever emigrated for the sake of worldly gain

be for what he emigrated for."

headed towards the valley of Al-Qura, and when he was in the valley
of Al-Qura an arrow was thrown by an unidentified person, struck and
killed Mid'am who was making a she-camel of Allah's Apostle kneel
down. The people said, "Congratulations to him (the slave) for

my soul is, for the sheet which he stole from the war booty before
its distribution on the day of Khaibar, is now burning over him."

(leather straps of shoes) to the Prophet. The Prophet said, "A
Shirak of fire, or two Shiraks of fire."
