Volume 9, Book 90, Number 332:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is!
Were it not for some men who dislike to be left behind and for whom
I
do not have means of conveyance, I would not stay away (from any
Holy
Battle). I would love to be martyred in Allah's Cause and come to
life
and then get, martyred and then come to life and then get martyred
and
then get resurrected and then get martyred.

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 333:

Narrated Al-A'rai:

Abu Huraira said, Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand my
life
is, I would love to fight in Allah's Cause and then get martyred
and
then resurrected (come to life) and then get martyred and then
resurrected (come to life) and then get martyred, and then
resurrected
(come to life) and then get martyred and then resurrected (come to
life)." Abu Huraira used to repeat those words three times and I
testify to it with Allah's Oath.

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 334:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet said, "If I had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, I
would love that, before three days had passed, not a single Dinar
thereof remained with me if I found somebody to accept it excluding

some amount that I would keep for the payment of my debts.''

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 335:

Narrated 'Aisha:

Allah's Apostle said, "If I had formerly known hat I came to know
lately, I would not have driven the Hadi with me and would have
finished the state of Ihram along with the people when they
finished
it

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 336:

Narrated Jabir bin Abdullah:

We were in the company of Allah's Apostle and we assumed the state
of
Ihram of Hajj and arrived at Mecca on the fourth of Dhul-Hijja. The

Prophet ordered us to perform the Tawaf around the Ka'ba and (Sa'i)

between As-Safa and Al-Marwa and use our lhram just for 'Umra, and
finish the state of Ihram unless we had our Hadi with us. None of
us
had the Hadi with him except the Prophet and Talha. 1AIj came from
Yemen and brought the Hadi with him. 'Ali said, 'I had assumed the
state of Ihram with the same intention as that with which Allah's
Apostle had assumed it. The people said, "How can we proceed to
Mina
and our male organs are dribbling?" Allah's Apostle said, "If I had

formerly known what I came to know latterly, I would not have
brought
the Hadi, and had there been no Hadi with me, I would have finished
my
Ihram." Suraqa (bin Malik) met the Prophet while he was throwing
pebbles at the Jamrat-al-'Aqaba, and asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Is
this (permitted) for us only?" The Prophet replied. "No, it is
forever" 'Aisha had arrived at Mecca while she was menstruating,
therefore the Prophet ordered her to perform all the ceremonies of
Hajj except the Tawaf around the Ka'ba, and not to perform her
prayers
unless and until she became clean . When they encamped at Al-Batha,

'Aisha said, "O Allah's Apostle! You are proceeding after
performing
both Hajj and 'Umra while I am proceeding with Hajj only?" So the
Prophet ordered 'Abdur-Rahman bin Abu Bakr As-Siddiq to go with her
to
At-Tan'im, and so she performed the 'Umra in Dhul-Hijja after the
days
of the Hajj.

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 337:

Narrated Aisha:

One night the Prophet was unable to sleep and said, "Would that a
righteous man from my companions guarded me tonight." Suddenly we
heard the clatter of arms, whereupon the Prophet said, "Who is it?"
It
was said, "I am Sa'd, O Allah's Apostle! I have come to guard you."

The Prophet then slept so soundly that we heard him snoring. Abu
'Abdullah said: 'Aisha said: Bilal said, "Would that I but stayed
overnight in a valley with Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of grass)
around me (i.e., in Mecca)." Then I told that to the Prophet .

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 338:

Narrated Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle said, "Not to wish to be the like except of two
men. A
man whom Allah has given the (knowledge of the) Qur'an and he
recites
it during the hours of night and day and the one who wishes says:
If I
were given the same as this (man) has been given, I would do what
he
does, and a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the

just and right way, in which case the one who wishes says, 'If I
were
given the same as he has been given, I would do what he does.' "

for
it."

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 341:

Narrated Sa'd bin Ubaid:

(the Maula of 'Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar) Allah's Apostle said, "None
of
you should long for death, for if he is a good man, he may increase

his good deeds, and if he is an evil-doer, he may stop the evil
deeds
and repent."

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 342:

Narrated Al-Bara' bin 'Azib:

The Prophet was carrying earth with us on the day of the battle of
Al-Ahzab (confederates) and I saw that the dust was covering the
whiteness of his abdomen, and he (the Prophet ) was saying, "(O
Allah)
! Without You, we would not have been guided, nor would we have
given
in charity, nor would we have prayed. So (O Allah!) please send
tranquility (Sakina) upon us as they, (the chiefs of the enemy
tribes)
have rebelled against us. And if they intend affliction (i.e. want
to
frighten us and fight against us) then we would not (flee but
withstand them). And the Prophet used to raise his voice with it.

One night the Prophet delayed the Isha' prayer whereupon 'Umar went
to
him and said, "The prayer, O Allah's Apostle! The women and
children
had slept." The Prophet came out with water dropping from his head,

and said, "Were I not afraid that it would be hard for my followers

(or for the people), I would order them to pray Isha prayer at this

time." (Various versions of this Hadith are given by the narrators

Narrated Anas:

The Prophet fasted Al-Wisal on the last days of the month. Some
people
did the same, and when the news reached the Prophet he said, "If
the
month had been prolonged for me, then I would have fasted Wisal for

such a long time that the most exaggerating ones among you would
have
given up their exaggeration. I am not like you; my Lord always
makes
me eat and drink."

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 348:

Allah's Apostle forbade Al-Wisal. The people said (to him), "But
you
fast Al-'Wisal," He said, "Who among you is like me? When I sleep
(at
night), my Lord makes me eat and drink. But when the people refused
to
give up Al-Wisal, he fasted Al-Wisal along with them for two days
and
then they saw the crescent whereupon the Prophet said, "If the
crescent had not appeared I would have fasted for a longer period,"
as
if he intended to punish them herewith.

Volume 9, Book 90, Number 349:

Narrated 'Aisha:

I asked the Prophet about the wall (outside the Ka'ba). "Is it
regarded as part of the Ka'ba?" He replied, "Yes." I said, "Then
why
didn't the people include it in the Ka'ba?" He said, "(Because)
your
people ran short of money." I asked, "Then why is its gate so
high?"
He replied, ''Your people did so in order to admit to it whom they
would and forbid whom they would. Were your people not still close
to
the period of ignorance, and were I not afraid that their hearts
might
deny my action, then surely I would include the wall in the Ka'ba
and
make its gate touch the ground."
