Volume 7, Book 62, Number 1:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the
Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed
about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where
are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven."
Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night
forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will
not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women
and will not marry forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said,
"Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more
submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my
fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition
in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers)."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 2:
Narrated 'Ursa:
that he asked 'Aisha about the Statement of Allah: 'If you fear
that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan girls, then marry
(other) women of your choice, two or three or four; but if you fear that you
shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one, or (the captives)
that your right hands possess. That will be nearer to prevent you from doing
injustice.' (4.3) 'Aisha said, "O my nephew! (This Verse has been revealed
in connection with) an orphan girl under the guardianship of her guardian who
is attracted by her wealth and beauty and intends to marry her with a Mahr less
than what other women of her standard deserve. So they (such guardians) have
been forbidden to marry them unless they do justice to them and give them their
full Mahr, and they are ordered to marry other women instead of them."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 3:
Narrated 'Alqama:
While I was with Abdullah, 'Uthman met him at Mina and said,
"O Abu 'Abdur-Rahman ! I have something to say to you." So both of
them went aside and 'Uthman said, "O Abu 'Abdur-Rah. man! Shall we marry
you to a virgin who will make you remember your past days?" When 'Abdullah
felt that he was not in need of that, he beckoned me (to join him) saying,
"O 'Alqama!" Then I heard him saying (in reply to 'Uthman), "As
you have said that, (I tell you that) the Prophet once said to us, 'O young
people! Whoever among you is able to marry, should marry, and whoever is not
able to marry, is recommended to fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 4:
Narrated 'Abdullah:
We were with the Prophet while we were young and had no wealth
whatever. So Allah's Apostle said, "O young people! Whoever among you can

(i.e. his private parts from committing illegal sexual intercourse etc.), and
whoever is not able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual
power."

the intention, and everybody will get the reward for what he has intended. So

a woman, then his emigration was for the thing for what he emigrated for."

wives and property. 'Abdur-Rahman replied, "May Allah bless you with your
wives and property. Kindly show me the market." So 'Abdur-Rahman went to
the market and gained (in bargains) some dried yoghurt and some butter. After a
few days the Prophet saw Abdur-Rahman with some yellow stains on his clothes
and asked him, "What is that, O 'Abdur-Rahman?" He replied, "I

confront. So (it does not matter whether you) get yourself castrated or
not."

started running as fast as the best camel you may see. Behold! The rider was
the Prophet himself. He said, 'What makes you in such a hurry?" I replied,
I am newly married " He said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron? I
replied, "A matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl
so that you may play with her and she with you?" When we were about to
enter (Medina), the Prophet said, "Wait so that you may enter (Medina) at
night so that the lady of unkempt hair may comb her hair and the one whose
husband has been absent may shave her pubic region.

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 22:
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet stayed for three days between Khaibar and Medina, and
there he consummated his marriage to Safiyya bint Huyai. I invited the Muslims
to the wedding banquet in which neither meat nor bread was offered. He ordered
for leather dining-sheets to be spread, and dates, dried yoghurt and butter
were laid on it, and that was the Prophet's wedding banquet. The Muslims
wondered, "Is she (Saffiyya) considered as his wife or his slave
girl?" Then they said, "If he orders her to veil herself, she will be
one of the mothers of the Believers; but if he does not order her to veil
herself, she will be a slave girl. So when the Prophet proceeded from there, he
spared her a space behind him (on his she-camel) and put a screening veil
between her and the people.

A woman came to Allah's Apostle and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
I have come to give you myself in marriage (without Mahr)." Allah's
Apostle looked at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her
and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she
sat down. A man from his companions got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet said,
"Have you got anything to offer?" The man said, "No, by Allah, O
Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him), "Go to your family and
see if you have something." The man went and returned, saying, "No,
by Allah, I have not found anything." Allah's Apostle said, "(Go
again) and look for something, even if it is an iron ring." He went again
and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I could not find
even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist sheet)." He had no rida. He
added, "I give half of it to her." Allah's Apostle said, "What
will she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will be naked, and if she wears
it, you will be naked." So that man sat down for a long while and then got
up (to depart). When Allah's Apostle saw him going, he ordered that he be
called back. When he came, the Prophet said, "How much of the Quran do you
know?" He said, "I know such Sura and such Sura," counting them.
The Prophet said, "Do you know them by heart?" He replied,
"Yes." The Prophet said, "Go, I marry her to you for that much
of the Quran which you have."

married his niece, Hind bint Al-Walid bin 'Utba bin Rabi'a; and Salim was the
freed slave of an Ansar woman, just as the Prophet had adopted Zaid as his son.
It was the custom in the Pre-lslamic Period that if somebody adopted a boy, the
people would call him the son of the adoptive father and he would be the
latter's heir. But when Allah revealed the Divine Verses: 'Call them by (the
names of) their fathers . . . your freed-slaves,' (33.5) the adopted persons
were called by their fathers' names. The one whose father was not known, would
be regarded as a Maula and your brother in religion. Later on Sahla bint Suhail
bin 'Amr Al-Quraishi Al-'Amiri--and she was the wife of Abu- Hudhaifa bin
'Utba--came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! We used to
consider Salim as our (adopted) son, and now Allah has revealed what you know
(regarding adopted sons)." The sub-narrator then mentioned the rest of the
narration.

he asks for a lady's hand, he ought to be given her in marriage; and if he
intercedes (for someone) his intercessor should be accepted; and if he speaks,
he should be listened to." Allah's Apostle kept silent, and then a man
from among the poor Muslims passed by, an Allah's Apostle asked (them)
"What do you say about this man?" They replied, "If he asks for
a lady's hand in marriage he does not deserve to be married, and he intercedes
(for someone), his intercession should not be accepted; And if he speaks, he
should not be listened to.' Allah's Apostle said, "This poor man is better
than so many of the first as filling the earth.'
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 29:
Narrated 'Ursa:
that he asked 'Aisha regarding the Verse: 'If you fear that you
shall not be able to deal justly with the orphans (4.3) She said, "O my
nephew! This Verse refers to the orphan girl who is under the guardianship of
her guardian who likes her beauty and wealth and wishes to (marry her and)
curtails her Mahr. Such guardians have been forbidden to marry them unless they
do justice by giving them their full Mahr, and they have been ordered to marry
other than them. The people asked for the verdict of Allah's Apostle after
that, so Allah revealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning the women . . .
whom you desire to marry.' (4.127) So Allah revealed to them that if the orphan
girl had beauty and wealth, they desired to marry her and for her family
status. They can only marry them if they give them their full Mahr. And if they
had no desire to marry them because of their lack of wealth and beauty, they
would leave them and marry other women. So, as they used to leave them, when
they had no interest, in them, they were forbidden to marry them when they had
such interest, unless they treated them justly and gave them their full Mahr
Apostle said, 'If at all there is evil omen, it is in the horse, the woman and

Three principles were established because of Barira: (i) When
Banra was manumitted she was given the option (to remain with her slave husband
or not). (ii) Allah's Apostle said "The Wala of the slave) is for the one
who manumits (the slave). (iii) When Allah's Apostle entered (the house), he
saw a cooking pot on the fire but he was given bread and meat soup from the
soup of the home. The Prophet said, "Didn't I see the cooking pot (on the
fire)?" It was said, "That is the meat given in charity to Barira,
and you do not eat the (things given in) charity." The Prophet said,
"It is an object of charity for Barira, and it is a present for us."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 35:
Narrated Aisha"
(regarding) the Verse: 'And if you fear that you shall not be able
to deal justly with the orphans...' (4.3) It is about the orphan girl who is in
the custody of a man who is her guardian, and he intends to marry her because
of her wealth, but he treats her badly and does not manage her property fairly
and honestly. Such a man should marry women of his liking other than her, two
or three or four. 'Prohibited to you (for marriage) are: ...your foster-mothers
(who suckled you).' (4.23) Marriage is prohibited between persons having a
foster suckling relationship corresponding to a blood relationship which
renders marriage unlawful.

enter your house." The Prophet said, "I think he is so-and-so,"
naming the foster-uncle of Hafsa. 'Aisha said, "If so-and-so," naming
her foster uncle, "were living, could he enter upon me?" The Prophet
said, "Yes, for foster suckling relations make all those things unlawful
which are unlawful through corresponding birth (blood) relations."

that?" I replied, "Yes, for even now I am not your only wife and I
like that my sister should share the good with me." The Prophet said,
"But that is not lawful for me." I said, We have heard that you want
to marry the daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "(You mean) the
daughter of Um Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Even if
she were not my step-daughter, she would be unlawful for me to marry as she is
my foster niece. I and Abu Salama were suckled by Thuwaiba. So you should not
present to me your daughters or your sisters (in marriage)." Narrated
'Ursa; Thuwaiba was the freed slave girl of Abu Lahb whom he had manumitted,
and then she suckled the Prophet. When Abu Lahb died, one of his relatives saw
him in a dream in a very bad state and asked him, "What have you
encountered?" Abu Lahb said, "I have not found any rest since I left
you, except that I have been given water to drink in this (the space between
his thumb and other fingers) and that is because of my manumitting Thuwaiba."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 39:
Narrated 'Aisha:
that the Prophet entered upon her while a man was sitting with
her. Signs of anger seemed to appear on his face as if he disliked that. She

when milk is the only food of the child."

give him permission.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 41:
Narrated 'Uqba bin Al-Harith:
I married a woman and then a black lady came to us and said,
"I have suckled you both (you and your wife)." So I came to the
Prophet and said, "I married so-and-so and then a black lady came to us
and said to me, 'I have suckled both of you.' But I think she is a liar."
The Prophet turned his face away from me and I moved to face his face, and
said, "She is a liar." The Prophet said, "How (can you keep her

abandon (i.e., divorce) her (your wife)."

her)?" I said, "Marry her." He said, "Do you like
that?" I said, "(Yes), for even now I am not your only wife, so I
like that my sister should share you with me." He said, "She is not
lawful for me (to marry)." I said, "We have heard that you want to
marry." He said, "The daughter of Um Salama?" I said,
"Yes." He said, "Even if she were not my stepdaughter, she
should be unlawful for me to marry, for Thuwaiba suckled me and her father (Abu
Salama). So you should neither present your daughters, nor your sisters, to
me."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 43:
Narrated Um Habiba:
I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Marry my sister, the daughter of
Abu Sufyan." He said, "Do you like that?" I said, "Yes, for
even now I am not your only wife; and the most beloved person to share the good
with me is my sister." The Prophet said, "But that is not lawful for
me (i.e., to be married to two sisters at a time.)" I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! By Allah, we have heard that you want to marry Durra, the
daughter of Abu Salama." He said, "You mean the daughter of Um
Salama?" I said, "Yes." He said, "By Allah ! Even if she
were not my stepdaughter, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for she is
my foster niece, for Thuwaiba has suckled me and Abu Salama; so you should
neither present your daughters, nor your sisters to me."

with her paternal aunt or with her maternal aunt (at the same time). Az-Zuhri
(the sub-narrator) said: There is a similar order for the paternal aunt of the
father of one's wife, for 'Ursa told me that 'Aisha said, "What is
unlawful because of blood relations, is also unlawful because of the
corresponding foster suckling relations."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 47:

may postpone (the turn of) any of them (your wives) that you please,' (33.51)
was revealed, " 'Aisha said, 'O Allah's Apostle! I do not see, but, that
your Lord hurries in pleasing you.' "

marry temporarily), their marriage should last for three nights, and if they
like to continue, they can do so; and if they want to separate, they can do
so." I do not know whether that was only for us or for all the people in
general. Abu Abdullah (Al-Bukhari) said: 'Ali made it clear that the Prophet
said, "The Mut'a marriage has been cancelled (made unlawful)."

A woman presented herself to the Prophet (for marriage). A man
said to him, "O Allah's Apostle! (If you are not in need of her) marry her
to me." The Prophet said, "What have you got?" The man said,
"I have nothing." The Prophet said (to him), "Go and search for
something) even if it were an iron ring." The man went and returned
saying, "No, I have not found anything, not even an iron ring; but this is
my (Izar) waist sheet, and half of it is for her." He had no Rida' (upper
garment). The Prophet said, "What will she do with your waist sheet? If
you wear it, she will have nothing over her; and if she wears it, you will have
nothing over you." So the man sat down and when he had sat a long time, he
got up (to leave). When the Prophet saw him (leaving), he called him back, or
the man was called (for him), and he said to the man, "How much of the
Quran do you know (by heart)?" The man replied I know such Sura and such
Sura (by heart)," naming the Suras The Prophet said, "I have married
her to you for what you know of the Quran "
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 55:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar :
'Umar bin Al-Khattab said, "When Hafsa bint 'Umar became a
widow after the death of (her husband) Khunais bin Hudhafa As-Sahmi who had
been one of the companions of the Prophet, and he died at Medina. I went to
'Uthman bin 'Affan and presented Hafsa (for marriage) to him. He said, "I
will think it over.' I waited for a few days, then he met me and said, 'It
seems that it is not possible for me to marry at present.' " 'Umar further
said, "I met Abu Bakr As-Siddique and said to him, 'If you wish, I will
marry my daughter Hafsa to you." Abu Bakr kept quiet and did not say
anything to me in reply. I became more angry with him than with 'Uthman. I
waited for a few days and then Allah's Apostle asked for her hand, and I gave
her in marriage to him. Afterwards I met Abu Bakr who said, 'Perhaps you became
angry with me when you presented Hafsa to me and I did not give you a reply?' I
said, 'Yes.' Abu Bakr said, 'Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except
that I knew that Allah's Apostle had mentioned her, and I never wanted to let
out the secret of Allah's Apostle. And if Allah's Apostle had refused her, I
would have accepted her.' "
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 56:
Narrated Zainab bint Salama:
Um Habiba said to Allah's Apostle "We have heard that you
want to marry Durra bint Abu-Salama." Allah's Apostle said, "Can she
be married along with Um Salama (her mother)? Even if I have not married Um
Salama, she would not be lawful for me to marry, for her father is my foster
brother." 'And there is no blame on you if you make hint of betrothal or
conceal it in your hearts. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Forbearing.' (2.235)
Ibn 'Abbas said, "Hint your intention of marrying' is made by saying (to
the widow) for example: "I want to marry, and I wish that Allah will make
a righteous lady available for me.' " Al-Qasim said: One may say to the
widow: 'I hold all respect for you, and I am interested in you; Allah will
bring you much good, or something similar 'Ata said: One should hint his
intention, and should not declare it openly. One may say: 'I have some need.
Have good tidings. Praise be to Allah; you are fit to remarry.' She (the widow)
may say in reply: I am listening to what you say,' but she should not make a
promise. Her guardian should not make a promise (to somebody to get her married
to him) without her knowledge. But if, while still in the Iddat period, she
makes a promise to marry somebody, and he ultimately marries her, they are not
to be separated by divorce (i.e., the marriage is valid).

there you were. I said to myself. 'If it is from Allah, then it will surely
be.' "

Apostle glanced at her. He looked at her carefully and fixed his glance on her
and then lowered his head. When the lady saw that he did not say anything, she
sat down. A man from his companions got up and said, "O Allah's Apostle!
If you are not in need of her, then marry her to me." The Prophet said,
"Have you got anything to offer." The man said, 'No, by Allah, O
Allah's Apostle!" The Prophet said (to him), "Go to your family and
try to find something." So the man went and returned, saying, "No, by
Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I have not found anything." The Prophet said,
"Go again and look for something, even if it were an iron ring." He
went and returned, saying, "No, by Allah, O Allah's Apostle! I could not
find even an iron ring, but this is my Izar (waist sheet).' He had no Rida
(upper garment). He added, "I give half of it to her." Allah's
Apostle said "What will she do with your Izar? If you wear it, she will
have nothing over herself thereof (will be naked); and if she wears it, then
you will have nothing over yourself thereof ' So the man sat for a long period
and then got up (to leave). When Allah's Apostle saw him leaving, he ordered
that he e called back. When he came, the Prophet asked (him), "How much of
the Qur'an do you know (by heart)?" The man replied, I know such Sura and
such Sura and such Sura," naming the suras. The Prophet said, "Can
you recite it by heart?" He said, 'Yes." The Prophet said, "Go I

menstrual periods) were over, the man came again and asked for her hand, but I
said to him, 'I married her to you and made her your bed (your wife) and
favored you with her, but you divorced her. Now you come to ask for her hand
again? No, by Allah, she will never go back to you (again)!' That man was not a
bad man and his wife wanted to go back to him. So Allah revealed this Verse:

him), O Allah's Apostle."So he married her to him again.

marrying).

Aisha said, "O my nephew! It was about the female orphan under the
protection of her guardian who was interested in her beauty and wealth and wanted
to marry her with a little or reduced Mahr. So such guardians were forbidden to
marry female orphans unless they deal with them justly and give their full
Mahr; and they were ordered to marry women other than them."'Aisha added,
"(Later) the people asked Allah's Apostle, for instructions, and then
Allah revealed: 'They ask your instruction concerning the women . . . And yet
whom you desire to marry.' (4.127) So Allah revealed to them in this Verse
that-if a female orphan had wealth and beauty, they desired to marry her and
were interested in her noble descent and the reduction of her Mahr; but if she
was not desired by them because of her lack in fortune and beauty they left her
and married some other woman. So, as they used to leave her when they had no interest

meet. I did what he ordered me to do, and when I returned, I found the house
crowded with people and saw the Prophet keeping his hand over the Haisa and
saying over it whatever Allah wished (him to say). Then he called the men in
batches of ten to eat of it, and he said to them, "Mention the Name of
Allah, and each man should eat of the dish the nearest to him." When all
of them had finished their meals, some of them left and a few remained there
talking, over which I felt unhappy. Then the Prophet went out towards the
dwelling places (of his wives) and I too, went out after him and told him that
those people had left. Then he returned and entered his dwelling place and let
the curtains fall while I was in (his) dwelling place, and he was reciting the
Verses:-- 'O you who believe! Enter not the Prophet's house until leave is
given you for a meal, (and then) not (as early as) to what for its preparation.
But when you are invited, enter, and when you have taken your meals, disperse
without sitting for a talk. Verily such (behavior) annoys the Prophet; and he
would be shy of (asking) you (to go), but Allah is not shy of (telling you) the
Truth.' (33-53) Abu Uthman said: Anas said, "I served the Prophet for ten
years."

consummated his marriage with Zainab bint Jahsh. When the day dawned, the
Prophet was a bridegroom and he invited the people to a banquet, so they came,
ate, and then all left except a few who remained with the Prophet for a long
time. The Prophet got up and went out, and I too went out with him so that
those people might leave too. The Prophet proceeded and so did I, till he came
to the threshold of 'Aisha's dwelling place. Then thinking that these people
have left by then, he returned and so did I along with him till he entered upon
Zainab and behold, they were still sitting and had not gone. So the Prophet again
went away and I went away along with him. When we reached the threshold of
'Aisha's dwelling place, he thought that they had left, and so he returned and
I too, returned along with him and found those people had left. Then the
Prophet drew a curtain between me and him, and the Verses of Al-Hijab were
revealed.

with you and will give one of my two wives to you." 'Abdur-Rahman said,

to reply to the sneezer (i.e., say to him, 'Yarhamuka-l-lah (May Allah bestow
His Mercy upon you), if he says 'Al-hamdulillah' (Praise be to Allah), to help
others to fulfill their oaths, to help the oppressed, to greet (whomever one
should meet), and to accept the invitation (to a wedding banquet). He forbade
us to wear golden rings, to use silver utensils, to use Mayathir (cushions of
silk stuffed with cotton and placed under the rider on the saddle), the Qasiyya
(linen clothes containing silk brought from an Egyptian town), the Istibraq
(thick silk) and the Dibaj (another kind of silk). (See Hadith No. 539 and

Apostle! I repent to Allah and His Apostle. What sin have I committed?' Allah's
Apostle said. "What is this cushion?" I said, "I have bought it
for you so that you may sit on it and recline on it." Allah's Apostle
said, "The makers of these pictures will be punished on the Day of
Resurrection, and it will be said to them, 'Give life to what you have created
(i.e., these pictures).' " The Prophet added, "The Angels of (Mercy)

wards)."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 117:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Eleven women sat (at a place) and promised and contracted that
they would not conceal anything of the news of their husbands. The first one
said, "My husband is like the meat of a lean weak camel which is kept on the
top of a mountain which is neither easy to climb, nor is the meat fat, so that
one might put up with the trouble of fetching it." The second one said,
"I shall not relate my husband's news, for I fear that I may not be able
to finish his story, for if I describe him, I will mention all his defects and
bad traits." The third one said, "My husband is a tall man; if I
describe him (and he hears of that) he will divorce me, and if I keep quiet, he
will neither divorce me nor treat me as a wife." The fourth one said,
"My husband is a moderate person like the night of Tihama which is neither
hot nor cold. I am neither afraid of him, nor am I discontented with him."
The fifth one said, "My husband, when entering (the house) is a leopard,
and when going out, is a lion. He does not ask about whatever is in the
house." The sixth one said, "If my husband eats. he eats too much
(leaving the dishes empty), and if he drinks he leaves nothing, and if he
sleeps he sleeps alone (away from me) covered in garments and does not stretch
his hands here and there so as to know how I fare (get along)." The
seventh one said, "My husband is a wrong-doer or weak and foolish. All the
defects are present in him. He may injure your head or your body or may do
both." The eighth one said, "My husband is soft to touch like a
rabbit and smells like a Zarnab (a kind of good smelling grass)." The
ninth one said, "My husband is a tall generous man wearing a long strap
for carrying his sword. His ashes are abundant and his house is near to the people
who would easily consult him." The tenth one said, "My husband is
Malik, and what is Malik? Malik is greater than whatever I say about him. (He
is beyond and above all praises which can come to my mind). Most of his camels
are kept at home (ready to be slaughtered for the guests) and only a few are
taken to the pastures. When the camels hear the sound of the lute (or the
tambourine) they realize that they are going to be slaughtered for the
guests." The eleventh one said, "My husband is Abu Zar and what is
Abu Zar (i.e., what should I say about him)? He has given me many ornaments and
my ears are heavily loaded with them and my arms have become fat (i.e., I have
become fat). And he has pleased me, and I have become so happy that I feel
proud of myself. He found me with my family who were mere owners of sheep and
living in poverty, and brought me to a respected family having horses and
camels and threshing and purifying grain . Whatever I say, he does not rebuke
or insult me. When I sleep, I sleep till late in the morning, and when I drink
water (or milk), I drink my fill. The mother of Abu Zar and what may one say in
praise of the mother of Abu Zar? Her saddle bags were always full of provision
and her house was spacious. As for the son of Abu Zar, what may one say of the
son of Abu Zar? His bed is as narrow as an unsheathed sword and an arm of a kid
(of four months) satisfies his hunger. As for the daughter of Abu Zar, she is
obedient to her father and to her mother. She has a fat well-built body and that
arouses the jealousy of her husband's other wife. As for the (maid) slave girl
of Abu Zar, what may one say of the (maid) slavegirl of Abu Zar? She does not
uncover our secrets but keeps them, and does not waste our provisions and does
not leave the rubbish scattered everywhere in our house." The eleventh
lady added, "One day it so happened that Abu Zar went out at the time when
the milk was being milked from the animals, and he saw a woman who had two sons
like two leopards playing with her two breasts. (On seeing her) he divorced me
and married her. Thereafter I married a noble man who used to ride a fast
tireless horse and keep a spear in his hand. He gave me many things, and also a
pair of every kind of livestock and said, 'Eat (of this), O Um Zar, and give
provision to your relatives." She added, "Yet, all those things which
my second husband gave me could not fill the smallest utensil of Abu
Zar's." 'Aisha then said: Allah's Apostle said to me, "I am to you as
Abu Zar was to his wife Um Zar."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 118:
Narrated 'Ursa:
Aisha said, "While the Ethiopians were playing with their
small spears, Allah's Apostle screened me behind him and I watched (that
display) and kept on watching till I left on my own." So you may estimate
of what age a little girl may listen to amusement.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 119:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas :
I had been eager to ask 'Umar bin Al-Khattab about the two ladies
from among the wives of the Prophet regarding whom Allah said 'If you two
(wives of the Prophet namely Aisha and Hafsa) turn in repentance to Allah, your
hearts are indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet likes). (66.4) till
'Umar performed the Hajj and I too, performed the Hajj along with him. (On the
way) 'Umar went aside to answer the call of nature, and I also went aside along
with him carrying a tumbler full of water, and when 'Umar had finished
answering the call of nature, I poured water over his hands and he performed
the ablution. Then I said to him, "O chief of the Believers! Who were the
two ladies from among the wives of the Prophet regarding whom Allah said: 'If
you two (wives of the Prophet) turn in repentance to Allah your hearts are
indeed so inclined (to oppose what the Prophet likes)?" (66.4) He said,
"I am astonished at your question, O Ibn Abbas. They were 'Aisha and
Hafsa." Then 'Umar went on narrating the Hadith and said, "I and an
Ansari neighbor of mine from Bani Umaiyya bin Zaid who used to live in
Awali-al-Medina, used to visit the Prophet in turn. He used to go one day and I
another day. When I went, I would bring him the news of what had happened that
day regarding the Divine Inspiration and other things, and when he went, he
used to do the same for me. We, the people of Quraish used to have the upper
hand over our wives, but when we came to the Ansar, we found that their women
had the upper hand over their men, so our women also started learning the ways
of the Ansari women. I shouted at my wife and she retorted against me and I
disliked that she should answer me back. She said to me, 'Why are you so
surprised at my answering you back? By Allah, the wives of the Prophet answer
him back and some of them may leave (does not speak to) him throughout the day
till the night.' The (talk) scared me and I said to her, 'Whoever has done so
will be ruined!' Then I proceeded after dressing myself, and entered upon Hafsa
and said to her, 'Does anyone of you keep the Prophet angry till night?' She
said, 'Yes.' I said, 'You are a ruined losing person! Don't you fear that Allah
may get angry for the anger of Allah's Apostle and thus you will be ruined? So
do not ask more from the Prophet and do not answer him back and do not give up
talking to him. Ask me whatever you need and do not be tempted to imitate your
neighbor (i.e., 'Aisha) in her manners for she is more charming than you and
more beloved to the Prophet ." Umar added,"At that time a talk was
circulating among us that (the tribe of) Ghassan were preparing their horses to
invade us. My Ansari companion, on the day of his turn, went (to the town) and
returned to us at night and knocked at my door violently and asked if I was
there. I became horrified and came out to him. He said, 'Today a great thing
has happened.' I asked, 'What is it? Have (the people of) Ghassan come?' He said,
'No, but (What has happened) is greater and more horrifying than that: Allah's
Apostle; has divorced his wives. 'Umar added, "The Prophet kept away from
his wives and I said "Hafsa is a ruined loser.' I had already thought that
most probably this (divorce) would happen in the near future. So I dressed
myself and offered the morning prayer with the Prophet and then the Prophet;
entered an upper room and stayed there in seclusion. I entered upon Hafsa and
saw her weeping. I asked, 'What makes you weep? Did I not warn you about that?
Did the Prophet divorce you all?' She said, 'I do not know. There he is retired
alone in the upper room.' I came out and sat near the pulpit and saw a group of
people sitting around it and some of them were weeping. I sat with them for a
while but could not endure the situation, so I went to the upper room where the
Prophet; was and said to a black slave of his, 'Will you get the permission (of
the Prophet ) for 'Umar (to enter)?' The slave went in, talked to the Prophet
about it and then returned saying, 'I have spoken to the Prophet and mentioned
you but he kept quiet.' Then I returned and sat with the group of people
sitting near the pulpit. but I could not bear the situation and once again I
said to the slave, 'Will you get the permission for 'Umar?' He went in and
returned saying, 'I mentioned you to him but he kept quiet.' So I returned
again and sat with the group of people sitting near the pulpit, but I could not
bear the situation, and so I went to the slave and said, 'Will you get the
permission for 'Umar?' He went in and returned to me saying, 'I mentioned you
to him but he kept quiet.' When I was leaving, behold! The slave called me,
saying, 'The Prophet has given you permission.' Then I entered upon Allah's
Apostle and saw him Lying on a bed made of stalks of date palm leaves and there
was no bedding between it and him. The stalks left marks on his side and he was
leaning on a leather pillow stuffed with date-palm fires. I greeted him and
while still standing I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Have you divorced your wives?'
He looked at me and said, 'No.' I said, 'Allah Akbar!' And then, while still
standing, I said chatting, 'Will you heed what I say, O Allah's Apostle? We,
the people of Quraish used to have power over our women, but when we arrived at
Medina we found that the men (here) were overpowered by their women.' The
Prophet smiled and then I said to him, 'Will you heed what I say, O Allah's
Apostle? I entered upon Hafsa and said to her, "Do not be tempted to imitate
your companion ('Aisha), for she is more charming than you and more beloved to
the Prophet.' " The Prophet smiled for a second time. When I saw him
smiling, I sat down. Then I looked around his house, and by Allah, I could not
see anything of importance in his house except three hides, so I said, 'O
Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah to make your followers rich, for the Persians and
the Romans have been made prosperous and they have been given (the pleasures of
the world), although they do not worship Allah.' Thereupon the Prophet sat up
as he was reclining. and said, 'Are you of such an opinion, O the son of
Al-Khattab? These are the people who have received the rewards for their good
deeds in this world.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Ask Allah to forgive me.' Then
the Prophet kept away from his wives for twenty-nine days because of the story
which Hafsa had disclosed to 'Aisha. The Prophet had said, 'I will not enter
upon them (my wives) for one month,' because of his anger towards them, when
Allah had admonished him. So, when twenty nine days had passed, the Prophet
first entered upon 'Aisha. 'Aisha said to him, 'O Allah's Apostle! You had
sworn that you would not enter upon us for one month, but now only twenty-nine
days have passed, for I have been counting them one by one.' The Prophet said,
'The (present) month is of twenty nine days.' 'Aisha added, 'Then Allah
revealed the Verses of the option. (2) And out of all his-wives he asked me
first, and I chose him.' Then he gave option to his other wives and they said what
'Aisha had said . " (1) The Prophet, ' had decided to abstain from eating
a certain kind of food because of a certain event, so Allah blamed him for
doing so. Some of his wives were the cause of him taking that decision,
therefore he deserted them for one month. See Quran: (66.4)

During the lifetime of Allah's Apostle, the sun eclipsed. Allah's
Apostle offered the prayer of (the) eclipse) and so did the people along with
him. He performed a long Qiyam (standing posture) during which Surat-al-Baqara
could have been recited; then he performed a pro-longed bowing, then raised his
head and stood for a long time which was slightly less than that of the first
Qiyam (and recited Qur'an). Then he performed a prolonged bowing again but the
period was shorter than the period of the first bowing, then he stood up and then
prostrated. Again he stood up, but this time the period of standing was less
than the first standing. Then he performed a prolonged bowing but of a lesser
duration than the first, then he stood up again for a long time but for a
lesser duration than the first. Then he performed a prolonged bowing but of
lesser duration than the first, and then he again stood up, and then prostrated
and then finished his prayer. By then the sun eclipse had cleared. The Prophet
then said, "The sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah,
and they do not eclipse because of the death or birth of someone, so when you
observe the eclipse, remember Allah (offer the eclipse prayer)." They (the
people) said, "O Allah's Apostle! We saw you stretching your hand to take
something at this place of yours, then we saw you stepping backward." He
said, "I saw Paradise (or Paradise was shown to me), and I stretched my
hand to pluck a bunch (of grapes), and had I plucked it, you would have eaten
of it as long as this world exists. Then I saw the (Hell) Fire, and I have
never before, seen such a horrible sight as that, and I saw that the majority
of its dwellers were women." The people asked, "O Allah's Apostle!
What is the reason for that?" He replied, "Because of their
ungratefulness." It was said. "Do they disbelieve in Allah (are they
ungrateful to Allah)?" He replied, "They are not thankful to their
husbands and are ungrateful for the favors done to them. Even if you do good to
one of them all your life, when she seems some harshness from you, she will
say, "I have never seen any good from you.' "

what I know, you would laugh less and weep more!"
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 149:
Narrated Asma':
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "There is nothing (none)
having a greater sense of Ghira (self-respect) than Allah." And narrated
Abu Huraira that he heard the Prophet (saying the same).
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 150:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet; said, "Allah has a sense of Ghira, and Allah's
sense of Ghira is provoked when a believer does something which Allah has
prohibited."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 151:
Narrated Asma' bint Abu Bakr:
When Az-Zubair married me, he had no real property or any slave or
anything else except a camel which drew water from the well, and his horse. I
used to feed his horse with fodder and drew water and sew the bucket for
drawing it, and prepare the dough, but I did not know how to bake bread. So our
Ansari neighbors used to bake bread for me, and they were honorable ladies. I
used to carry the date stones on my head from Zubair's land given to him by
Allah's Apostle and this land was two third Farsakh (about two miles) from my
house. One day, while I was coming with the date stones on my head, I met
Allah's Apostle along with some Ansari people. He called me and then,
(directing his camel to kneel down) said, "Ikh! Ikh!" so as to make
me ride behind him (on his camel). I felt shy to travel with the men and
remembered Az-Zubair and his sense of Ghira, as he was one of those people who
had the greatest sense of Ghira. Allah's Apostle noticed that I felt shy, so he
proceeded. I came to Az-Zubair and said, "I met Allah's Apostle while I
was carrying a load of date stones on my head, and he had some companions with
him. He made his camel kneel down so that I might ride, but I felt shy in his
presence and remembered your sense of Ghira (See the glossary). On that
Az-Zubair said, "By Allah, your carrying the date stones (and you being
seen by the Prophet in such a state) is more shameful to me than your riding
with him." (I continued serving in this way) till Abu Bakr sent me a
servant to look after the horse, whereupon I felt as if he had set me free.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 152:
Narrated Anas:
While the Prophet was in the house of one of his wives, one of the
mothers of the believers sent a meal in a dish. The wife at whose house the
Prophet was, struck the hand of the servant, causing the dish to fall and
break. The Prophet gathered the broken pieces of the dish and then started
collecting on them the food which had been in the dish and said, "Your
mother (my wife) felt jealous." Then he detained the servant till a
(sound) dish was brought from the wife at whose house he was. He gave the sound
dish to the wife whose dish had been broken and kept the broken one at the
house where it had been broken.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 153:
Narrated Jabir:
The Prophet, said, "I entered Paradise and saw a palace and
asked whose palace is this? They (the Angels) said, "This palace belongs
to 'Umar bin Al-Khattab.' I intended to enter it, and nothing stopped me except
my knowledge about your sense of Ghira (self-respect (O Umar)." 'Umar
said, "O Allah's Apostle! Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you!
O Allah's Prophet! How dare I think of my Ghira (self-respect) being offended
by you?"
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 154:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
While we were sitting with Allah's Apostle, (he) Allah's Apostle
said, "While I was sleeping, I saw a woman performing ablution beside a
palace. I asked, "Whose palace is this?' It was said, 'This palace belongs
to 'Umar.' Then I remembered his sense of Ghira and returned." On that
'Umar started weeping in that gathering and said, "O Allah's Apostle! How
dare I think of my self-respect being offended by you?"
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 155:
Narrated Aisha:
That Allah's Apostle said to her, "I you are pleased with me
or angry with me." I said, "Whence do you know that?" He said,
"When you are pleased with me, you say, 'No, by the Lord of Muhammad,' but
when you are angry with me, then you say, 'No, by the Lord of Abraham.' "
Thereupon I said, "Yes (you are right), but by Allah, O Allah's Apostle, I
leave nothing but your name."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 156:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I never felt so jealous of any wife of Allah's Apostle as I did of
Khadija because Allah's Apostle used to remember and praise her too often and
because it was revealed to Allah's Apostle that he should give her (Khadija)
the glad tidings of her having a palace of Qasab in Paradise .
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 157:
Narrated Al-Miswar bin Makhrama:
I heard Allah's Apostle who was on the pulpit, saying, "Banu
Hisham bin Al-Mughira have requested me to allow them to marry their daughter
to Ali bin Abu Talib, but I don't give permission, and will not give permission
unless 'Ali bin Abi Talib divorces my daughter in order to marry their
daughter, because Fatima is a part of my body, and I hate what she hates to
see, and what hurts her, hurts me."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 158:
Narrated Anas:
I will narrate to you a Habith I heard from Allah's Apostle and
none other than I will tell you of it. I heard Allah's Apostle saying,
"From among the portents of the Hour are the following: Religious
knowledge will be taken away; General ignorance (in religious matters) will
increase; illegal Sexual intercourse will prevail: Drinking of alcoholic drinks
will prevail. Men will decrease in number, and women will increase in number,
so much so that fifty women will be looked after by one man."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 159:
Narrated 'Uqba bin 'Amir:
Allah's Apostle said, "Beware of entering upon the
ladies." A man from the Ansar said, "Allah's Apostle! What about
Al-Hamu the in-laws of the wife (the brothers of her husband or his nephews
etc.)?" The Prophet replied: The in-laws of the wife are death itself.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 160:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas :
The Prophet said, "No man should stay with a lady in
seclusion except in the presence of a Dhu-Muhram." A man stood up and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! My wife has gone out intending to perform the
Hajj and I have been enrolled (in the army) for such-and-such campaign."
The Prophet said, "Return and perform the Hajj with your wife."

Volume 7, Book 62, Number 162:
Narrated Um Salama:
that while the Prophet was with her, there was an effeminate man
in the house. The effeminate man said to Um Salama's brother, 'Abdullah bin Abi
Umaiyya, "If Allah should make you conquer Ta'if tomorrow, I recommend
that you take the daughter of Ghailan (in marriage) for (she is so fat) that
she shows four folds of flesh when facing you and eight when she turns her
back." Thereupon the Prophet said (to us), "This (effeminate man)
should not enter upon you (anymore)."

Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet was screening me with his Rida' (garment covering the
upper part of the body) while I was looking at the Ethiopians who were playing
in the courtyard of the mosque. (I continued watching) till I was satisfied. So
you may deduce from this event how a little girl (who has not reached the age
of puberty) who is eager to enjoy amusement should be treated in this respect.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 164:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Once Sada bint Zam'a went out at night for some need, and 'Umar
saw her, and recognizing her, he said (to her), "By Allah, O Sada! You
cannot hide yourself from us." So she returned to the Prophet and mentioned
that to him while he was sitting in my dwelling taking his supper and holding a
bone covered with meat in his hand. Then the Divine Inspiration was revealed to
him and when that state was over, he (the Prophet was saying: "O women!
You have been allowed by Allah to go out for your needs."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 165:

permission to go to the mosque, he should not forbid her."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 166:
Narrated 'Aisha:
My foster uncle came and asked permission (to enter) but I refused
to admit him till I asked Allah's Apostle about that. He said, "He is your
uncle, so allow him to come in." I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have
been suckled by a woman and not by a man." Allah's Apostle said, "He
is your uncle, so let him enter upon you." And that happened after the
order of Al-Hijab (compulsory veiling) was revealed. All things which become
unlawful because of blood relations are unlawful because of the corresponding
foster suckling relations.
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 167:

(The Prophet) Solomon son of (the Prophet) David said,
"Tonight I will go round (i.e. have sexual relations with) one hundred
women (my wives) everyone of whom will deliver a male child who will fight in
Allah's Cause." On that an Angel said to him, "Say: 'If Allah will.'
" But Solomon did not say it and forgot to say it. Then he had sexual
relations with them but none of them delivered any child except one who
delivered a half person. The Prophet said, "If Solomon had said: 'If Allah
will,' Allah would have fulfilled his (above) desire and that saying would have
made him more hopeful."

wanted to hurry, while riding a slow camel. A rider came behind me. I looked
back and saw that the rider was Allah's Apostle . He said (to me), "What
makes you in such a hurry?" I replied, "I am newly married." He
said, "Did you marry a virgin or a matron?" I replied, "(Not a
virgin but) a matron." He said, "Why didn't you marry a young girl
with whom you could play and who could play with you?" Then when we
approached (Medina) and were going to enter (it), the Prophet said, "Wait
till you enter (your homes) at night (in the first part of the night) so that
the ladies with unkempt hair may comb their hair, and those whose husbands have
been absent (for a long time) may shave their pubic hair." (The
sub-narrator, Hashim said: A reliable narrator told me that the Prophet added
in this Hadith: "(Seek to beget) children! Children, O Jabir!")
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 173:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "If you enter (your town) at night (after
coming from a journey), do not enter upon your family till the woman whose
husband was absent (from the house) shaves her pubic hair and the woman with
unkempt hair, combs her hair" Allah's Apostle further said, "(O
Jabir!) Seek to have offspring, seek to have offspring!"
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 174:
Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:
We were with the Prophet in Ghazwa, and when we returned and
approached Medina, I wanted to hurry while riding a slow camel. A rider
overtook me and pricked my camel with a spear which he had, whereupon my camel
started running as fast as any other fast camel you may see. I looked back, and
behold, the rider was Allah's Apostle . I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I am
newly married " He asked, "Have you got married?" I replied,
"Yes." He said, "A virgin or a matron?" I replied,
"(Not a virgin) but a matron" He said, "Why didn't you marry a
young girl so that you could play with her and she with you?" When we
reached (near Medina) and were going to enter it, the Prophet said, "Wait
till you enter your home early in the night so that the lady whose hair is
unkempt may comb her hair and that the lady whose husband has been away may
shave her pubic hair."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 175:
Narrated Abu Hazim:
The people differed about the type of treatment which had been given
to Allah's Apostle on the day (of the battle) of Uhud. So they asked Sahl bin
Sad As-Sa'id who was the only surviving Companion (of the Prophet) at Medina.
He replied, "Nobody Is left at Medina who knows it better than I. Fatima
was washing the blood off his face and 'Ali was bringing water in his shield,
and then a mat of date-palm leaves was burnt and (the ash) was inserted into
the wound."
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 176:
Narrated 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abis:
I heard Ibn 'Abbas answering a man who asked him, "Did you
attend the prayer of 'Id al Adha or 'Id-al-Fitr with Allah's Apostle?" Ibn
'Abbas replied, "Yes, and had it not been for my close relationship with
him, I could not have offered it." (That was because of his young age).
Ibn 'Abbas further said, Allah's Apostle went out and offered the Id prayer and
then delivered the sermon." Ibn 'Abbas did not mention anything about the
Adhan (the call for prayer) or the Iqama. He added, "Then the Prophet went
to the women and instructed them and gave them religious advice and ordered
them to give alms and I saw them reaching out (their hands to) their ears and
necks (to take off the earrings and necklaces, etc.) and throwing (it) towards
Bilal. Then the Prophet returned with Bilal to his house . "
Volume 7, Book 62, Number 177:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Abu Bakr admonished me and poked me with his hands in the flank,
and nothing stopped me from moving at that time except the position of Allah's
Apostle whose head was on my thigh.
