قال: لقيت عثمان بن عفان رضي الله عنه، فعرضت عليه حفصة فقلت: إن شئت أنكحتك حفصة بنت عمر؟ قال: سأنظر في أمري. فلبثت ليالي، ثم لقيني فقال: قد بدا لي أن لا أتزوج يومي هذا. فلقيت أبا بكر الصديق رضي الله عنه، فلم يرجع إلى شيئاً! فكنت عليه أوجد مني على عثمان، فلبثت ليالي، ثم خطبها النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فأنكحتها إياه.
فلقيني أبو بكر فقال: لعلك وجدت حين عرضت على حفصة فلم أرجع إليك شيئاً؟ فقلت: نعم. قال: فإنه لم يمنعني أن أرجع إليك فيما عرضت على إلا أني كنت علمت أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ذكرها، فلم أكن لأفشي سر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولوتركها النبى صلى الله عليه وسلم لقبلتها
My father Umar (radiyallahu anhu) said: When (his daughter) Hafsah (radiyallahu anha) became a widow, I met Uthman ibn Affan (radiyallahu anhu) and offered Hafsah for marriage to him.
Uthman said: “I shall think over the matter.” I waited for a few days and then Uthman met me and said: “It occurred to me that I should not marry at present.” Then I met Abu Bakr (radiyallahu anhu) and said to him: “If you are willing, I shall marry my daughter Hafsah to you.” Abu Bakr (radiyallahu anhu) remained silent and did not utter any word to me in reply. …
I grew more angry with him than with Uthman. I had waited for only a few days when Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) asked for her hand in marriage and I married her to him.
Thereafter, I met Abu Bakr (radiyallahu anhu) who said, “Perhaps you were angry with me when you offered Hafsah to me and I said nothing in reply.” I said, “Yes, that is so.”
He said, “Nothing stopped me to respond to your offer except that I knew that Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had mentioned her and I could not disclose the secret of Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). Had Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) left her, I would have accepted her.”.

فقالت: أما الآن فنعم، أما حين سارني في المرة الأولى فأخبرني «أن جبريل كان يعارضه القرآن في كل سنة مرة أو مرتين، وأنه عارضه الآن مرتين، وإني لا أرى الأجل إلا قد اقترب، فاتقى الله واصبرى، فغنه نعم السلف أنا لك» فبكيت بكائى الذى رأيت. فلما رأى جزعى سارنى الثانية، فقال: «يا فاطمة أما ترضين أن تكونى سيدة نساء المؤمنين، أو سيدة نساء هذه الأمة» فضحكت ضحكى الذى رأيت».

On one occasion all the wives of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) were with him when his daughter, Fatimah (radiyallahu anha) who walked after the style of her father, came there. He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) welcomed her saying, “Welcome, O my daughter”, and made her sit on his right side, or on his left side and then whispered something to her at which she wept bitterly.
When he perceived her grief, he talked secretly to her again and she smiled (with happiness). I said to her: “Messenger of Allah ((sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) chose you from amongst all his wives to speak secretly to you and yet you cried.” When he left, I asked her, “What did Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) say to you?” …
She said, “I will not divulge the secret of Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).” When Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) passed away, I said to her: “I adjure you by the right I have in respect of you to tell me what Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had told you.”
She said: “Now (when Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has died), I will tell you. When he whispered to me the first time, he told me, ‘Jibril (Gabriel) used to listen to my recitation of the Qur’an and then recite it back to me once or twice a year, and this time he has done it twice; and so I perceive that my death is approaching.
Then be mindful of your duty to Allah and be patient and steadfast, for I shall be an excellent predecessor for you.’ On this I wept as you saw. When he perceived my distress he talked to me secretly the second time and said, ‘O Fatimah, are you not pleased that you will be the chief among the believing women or of this Ummah?’ This made me smile as you saw.”.

I have never before seen an instructor who gave better instruction than he, may my father and mother be sacrificed for him. …
He neither remonstrated me, nor beat me, nor abused me. He simply said,It is not permissible to talk during Salat because it consists of glorifying Allah, declaring His Greatness as well as recitation of the Qur’an, or he said words to that effect.
I said: “O Messenger of Allah, I have but recently accepted Islam, and Allah has favoured us with Islam. There are still some people among us who go to consult soothsayers.”

One day, I performed my Wudu in my house and then set forth with the determination that I would stick to Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and spend the whole day with him.
I came to the mosque and asked about him. The Companions told that he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had gone in a certain direction. Abu Musa added: I followed him inquiring until I came to Bir Aris (a well in the suburb of Al-Madinah). (There) I sat down at the door till he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had relieved himself and performed Wudu. …
Then I went to him and saw him sitting on the platform of the well with his shanks uncovered and his legs dangling in the well. I greeted him and returned to the door of the garden, saying to myself, “I will be the doorkeeper of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) today.” Abu Bakr (radiyallahu anhu) came and knocked at the door.
I said; “Who is that?” He said: “Abu Bakr.” I said, “Wait a moment.” Then I went to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said, “O Messenger of Allah! Abu Bakr is at the door seeking permission to enter.”
He said, “Admit him and give him the glad tidings of Jannah.” I returned and said to Abu Bakr (radiyallahu anhu): “You may enter and Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) has given you the glad tidings of (entering) Jannah.” Abu Bakr (radiyallahu anhu) came in and sat down on the right side of Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and suspended his legs into the well and uncovered his shanks, as the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) had done.
I returned to the door and sat down. I had left my brother at home while he was performing Wudu and intending to join me. I said to myself: “If Allah intends good for him (i.e., to be blessed to come at this time and receive the glad tidings of entering Jannah), He will bring him here.”
Someone knocked at the door and I said, “Who is it?” He said, “Umar ibn al-Khattab.” I said, “Wait a moment.” Then I proceeded towards Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
I greeted him and said, “Umar is at the door, seeking permission to enter. He said, ‘Let him in and give him the glad tidings of entering Jannah.’ I went back to Umar (radiyallahu anhu) and said to him, ‘Messenger of Allah has given you permission as well as glad tidings of entering Jannah.’ He entered and sat down with Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) on his left side and dangled his feet into the well.
I returned to the door and sat down and said to myself: ‘If Allah intends good for my brother, He will bring him here.’ Someone knocked at the door and I said, ‘Who is it?’
He said, ‘Uthman ibn Affan.’ I said, ‘Wait a moment.’ I went to Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and informed him about his arrival. He said, ‘Let him in and give him glad tidings of entering Jannah together with a tribulation which he will have to face.’
I came back to him and said, ‘You may enter; and Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) gives you the glad tidings of entering Jannah together with a tribulation that will afflict you.’ He got in and saw that the elevated platform round the well was fully occupied. So he sat on opposite side. Said ibn Al- Musaiyab (radiyallahu anhu) a subnarrator has reported: The order in which they sat down indicated the places of their burial.
Another narration adds: Abu Musa al-Ashari (radiyallahu anhu) said: The Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) ordered me to guard the door. When Uthman was told (about the misfortune) he praised Allah then said: ‘Allahu Mustaan (His help is to be sought).’(The interpretation of Said ibn al-Musaiyab is that the graves of Abu Bakr and Umar (radiyallahu anhum) are by the side of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), in the same position they took when they sat next to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) while the grave of Uthman is away from their graves, in the public graveyard of Al-Madinah known as Baqi Al-Gharqad).”

We were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and Abu Bakr and Umar (radiyallahu anhum) were also present. All of a sudden the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) got up and left us. When he was late to return to us we began to worry lest he should meet with trouble in our absence.
I was the first to be alarmed and set out in search of him until I came to a garden belonging to Banu-Najjar (a section of the Ansar). I went round it looking for an entrance, but failed to find one. However, I saw a stream of water flowing into the garden from a well outside. I drew myself together like a fox and slinked into the place and reached the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). …
He said, “Is it Abu Hurayrah?” I replied in the affirmative. He asked, “What is the matter with you?” I replied, “You were sitting with us and then you left us and delayed for a time. Fearing you had met with some adversities we got alarmed. I was the first to be alarmed. So when I came to this garden, I squeezed myself like a fox and these people are coming behind me.”
He (the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)) gave me his sandals and said, “O Abu Hurayrah! Take these sandals of mine, and whoever you meet outside this garden testifying that La ilaha illallah (There is no true god except Allah), being assured of it in his heart, give him the glad tidings that he will enter Jannah.” (Abu Hurayrah then narrated the Hadith in full).
وعن ابن شماسة
قال: حضرنا عمرو بن العاص رضي الله عنه، وهو في سياقة الموت فبكى طويلاً، وحول وجهه إلى الجدار، فجعل ابنه يقول: يا أبتاه، أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بكذا؟ أما بشرك رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم بكذا؟ فأقبل بوجهه فقال: إن أفضل ما نعد شهادة أن لا إله إلا الله، وأن محمداً رسول الله، إني قد كنت على أطباق ثلاث: لقد رأيتني وما أحد أشداً بغضاً لرسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مني، ولا أحب إلي من أن أكون قد استمكنت منه فقتلته، فلو مت على تلك الحال لكنت من أهل النار، فلما جعل الله الإسلام في قلبي أتيت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلمى الله عليه وسلم فقلت: أبسط يمينك فلأبايعك، فبسط يمينه فقبضت يدي، فقال:»مالك يا عمرو؟
«قلت: أردت أن أشترط قال: «تشترط ماذا؟ «قلت: أن يغفر لي، قال: «أماعلمت أن الإسلام يهدم ما كان قبله، وأن الهجرة تهدم ما كان قبلها، وأن الحج يهدم ما كان قبله» وما كان أحد أحب إلي من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ولا أجل في عيني منه، وما كنت أطيق أن املأ عيني منه إجلالاً له؛ ولو سئلت أن أصفه ما أطقت؛ لأني لم أكن أملاً عيني منه، ولو مت على تلك الحال لرجوت أن أكون من أهل الجنة، ثم ولينا أشياء ما أدري مال حالي فيها؟ …
فإذا أنا مت فلا تصحبني نائحة ولا نار، فإذا دفنتموني، فشنوا على التراب شناً، ثم أقيموا حول قبري قدر ما تنحر جزور، ويقسم لحمها، حتى أستأنس بكم، وأنظر ما أراجع به رسل ربي»
We visited Amr ibn Al-‘as (radiyallahu anhu) when he was in his deathbed. He wept for a long time and turned his face towards the wall. His son said: ‘O father, did not the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) give you the good news of such and such? Did he not give you glad tidings of such and such?’
Then he (Amr) turned his face towards us and said: ‘The best thing which you can count upon is the affirmation that: La ilaha illallah (there is no true god except Allah), and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam). I have passed through three phases. I remember when I hated none more than I hated the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and there was no other desire stronger in me than that of killing him. …
Had I died in that state, I would have definitely been one of the dwellers of Fire (Hell). When Allah instilled the love for Islam in my heart, I went to Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said, ‘Extend your right hand, so that I pledge allegiance to you.’ He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stretched out his right hand, but I withdrew my hand.
He said, ‘What is the matter, Amr?’ I said, ‘I wish to lay down same conditions.’ He asked, ‘What conditions do you wish to put forward?’ I replied, ‘To be granted forgiveness.’
He said, ‘Do you not know that (embracing) Islam wipes out all that has gone before it (previous misdeeds). Verily, emigration wipes out all the previous sins, and the Hajj (pilgrimage) wipes out all the previous sins.’ Thereafter, no one was dearer to me than Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), and none was more respectable than him in my eyes.
So bright was his splendour that I could not gather enough courage to look at his face for any length of time. If I were asked to describe his feature, I would not be able to do so because I have never caught a full glimpse of his face. Had I died in that state I could have hoped to be one of the dwellers of Jannah. Thereafter, we were made responsible for many things and in the light of which I am unable to know what is in store for me.
When I die, no mourner, nor fire should accompany my bier. When you bury me, throw the earth gently over me and stand over my grave for the space of time within which a camel is slaughtered and its meat is distributed so that I may enjoy your intimacy, and in your presence ascertain what answer can I give to the Messengers of my Rubb (the angels in grave).’.’
فمنها حديث زيد بن أرقم رضي الله عنه الذي سبق في باب إكرام أهل بيت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: قام رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فينا خطيباً، فحمد الله، وأثنى عليه، ووعظ وذكر، ثم قال: «أما بعد»ألا أيها الناس إنما أنا بشر يوشك أن يأتي رسول الله ربي فأجيب، وأنا تارك فيكم ثقلين: «أولهما: كتاب الله، فيه الهدى والنور، فخذو بكتاب الله، واستمسكوا به» فحث على كتاب الله، ورغب فيه، ثم قال: «وأهل بيتي، أذكركم الله في أهل بيتي»
“One day Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) stood amongst us to deliver a Khutbah. So he praised Allah, extolled Him, exhorted and reminded (us) and said: ‘Amma Badu (now then)! O people, certainly I am a human being. I am about to receive a messenger of Allah my Lord (the angel of death) and I respond. And I am leaving among you two weighty things: There first of which is the Book of Allah.
In is guidance and light, so hold fast to the Book of Allah and adhere to it.’ So he exhorted (us) (to hold fast to it) and encouraged it then said, ‘And the members of my household, I remind you of Allah with regards (of your duties) to the members of my family.’”. And it has preceded in its entirety.
وعن أبي سليمان مالك بن الحويرث رضي الله عنه
قال: أتينا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ونحن شببه متقاربون، فأقمنا عنده عشرين ليلة، وكان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم رحيماً رفيقاً، فظن أنّا قد اشتقنا أهلنا، فسألنا عمن تركنا من أهلنا، فأخبرناه، فقال: «ارجعوا إلى أهليكم، فأقيموا فيهم، وعلموهم ومروهم، وصلو صلاة كذا في حين كذا، وصلوا كذا في حين كذا، فإذا حضرت الصلاة فليؤذن لكم أحدكم، وليؤمكم أكبركم»
We came to the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) when we were all young men of nearly equal age. We stayed with him for twenty days. He was extremely kind and considerate.
He perceived that we missed our families so he asked us about those we left behind, and we informed him. Then he (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Go back to your families, stay with them, teach them (about Islam) and exhort them to do good. Perform such Salat (prayer) at such a time and such Salat at such a time. When the time for Salat is due, one of you should announce Adhan (call for prayer) and the oldest among you should lead Salat.”. Al-Bukhari added in a version of his “And pray as you have seen me pray.”
وعن عمر بن الخطاب رضي الله عنه
قال: استأذنت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الله عليه وسلم في العمرة، فأذن، وقال: «لا تنسانا يا أخي من دعائك«فقال كلمة ما يسرني أن لي بها الدنيا. وفي رواية قال: «أشركنا يا أخي في دعائك»
I sought permission of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) to perform Umrah, and he granted me leave and said, “Brother, do not forget us in your supplications.” I would not exchange these words of his for the whole world. Another narration is: He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “Include us, my brother, in your supplications.”.

When a man was to set out on a journey, Abdullah ibn Umar (radiyallahu anhum) would say to him: “Draw near so that I may bid farewell to you as Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to bid farewell to us.

A man came to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and said: “O Messenger of Allah! I intend to go on a journey, so supplicate for me.” He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “May Allah grant you the provision of piety.”
The man said: “Please supplicate more for me.” He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “May He forgive your sins!” The man repeated: “Please supplicate more for me.” Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said, “May He facilitate for you the doing of good wherever you are.”.
-وعن جابر رضي الله عنه
قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يعلمنا الإستخارة في الأمور كلها كالسورة من القرآن، يقول: إذا همّ أحدكم بالأمر، فليركع ركعتين من غير الفريضة، ثم ليقل، اللهم إني أستخيرك بعلمك، وأستقدرك بقدرتك، وأسألك من فضلك العظيم؛ فإنك تقدر ولا أقدر وتعلم ولا أعلم، وأنت علام الغيوب. اللهم إن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر خير لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري«أو قال: «عاجل أمري وآجله، فاقدره لي ويسره لي، ثم بارك لي فيه، وإن كنت تعلم أن هذا الأمر شر لي في ديني ومعاشي وعاقبة أمري«أو قال: «عاجل أمري وآجله، فاصرفه عني، واصرفني عنه، واقدر لي الخير حيث كان، ثم ارضني به«قال: ويسمي حاجته»
Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) used to teach us the Istikharah (seeking guidance from Allah) in all matters as he would teach us a Surah of the Qur’an. He used to say: “When one of you contemplates entering upon an enterprise, let him perform two Rakah of optional prayer other than Fard prayers and then supplicate: ‘Allahumma inni astakhiruka bi ‘ilmika, wa astaqdiruka bi qudratika, wa as-‘aluka min fadlikal-‘azim.
Fainnaka taqdiru wa la aqdiru, wa talamu wa la alamu, wa Anta ‘allamul- ghuyub. Allahumma in kunta talamu anna hadhal-‘amra (and name what you want to do) khairun li fi dini wa maashi wa ‘aqibati amri, (or he said) ‘ajili amri ajilihi, faqdurhu li wa yassirhu li, thumma barik li fihi. Wa in kunta talamu anna hadhal ‘amra (and name what you want to do) sharrun li fi dini wa maashi wa ‘aqibati amri, (or he said) wa ‘ajili amri wa ajilihi, fasrifhu ‘anni, wasrifni ‘anhu, waqdur liyal- khaira haithu kana, thumma ardini bihi.’ …
(O Allah, I consult You through Your Knowledge, and I seek strength through Your Power, and ask of Your Great Bounty; for You are Capable whereas I am not and, You know and I do not, and You are the Knower of hidden things. O Allah, if You know that this matter (and name it) is good for me in respect of my Deen, my livelihood and the consequences of my affairs, (or he said), the sooner or the later of my affairs then ordain it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me.
But if You know this matter (and name it) to be bad for my Deen, my livelihood or the consequences of my affairs, (or he said) the sooner or the later of my affairs then turn it away from me, and turn me away from it, and grant me power to do good whatever it may be, and cause me to be contented with it). And let the supplicant specify the object.’’’’’’’’’’’’”
