Abu Huraira narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: While a woman was nursing her child, a rider passed by, and she said, “O Allah! Do not let my child die until he becomes like this (rider).” The child said, “O Allah! Do not make me like him,” then returned to her breast and resumed sucking. After a while, they passed by a woman who was being dragged and mocked by the people. The child’s mother said, “O Allah! Do not make my child like her.” The child said, “O Allah! Make me like her.” Then he said, “As for the rider, he is an unbeliever. As for the woman, she is falsely accused of adultery and says: Allah is sufficient for me—He knows the truth.”

Abu Huraira narrated that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: While a dog was going around a well, dying of thirst, a prostitute from the children of Israel saw it. She took off her shoe, filled it with water, and gave it to the dog to drink. Because of that good deed, Allah forgave her.

Narrated Humaid bin `Abdur-Rahman: He heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan speaking from the pulpit in the year he performed Hajj. He took a tuft of hair that was in the hand of an orderly and said, “O people of Medina! Where are your learned men? I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbidding such a thing as this (i.e. false hair) and he used to say, ‘The Israelites were destroyed when their women began using this practice (of attaching false hair to lengthen their locks).'”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3469
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Amongst the people before you there were those who were ‘Muhaddithun’ (i.e. people who were inspired or whose intuitions would prove true as though divinely guided), and if there is any such person among my followers, it is Umar bin Al-Khattab.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3470
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Among the men of Bani Israel, there was a man who had killed ninety-nine people. Then he set out asking if there was any possibility for his repentance to be accepted. He came upon a monk and asked him, and the monk replied in the negative. So the man killed him. He continued asking until he was advised to go to a certain village. On the way, death overtook him. As he was dying, he turned his chest toward the village he had been told to go to (seeking repentance). The angels of mercy and the angels of punishment disputed over him. Allah ordered the village he was going to come nearer, and the village he came from to move further away. Then He ordered the angels to measure the distances between the man and both villages. He was found to be one span closer to the village of mercy, so he was forgiven.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3471
Narrated Abu Huraira: Once Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) offered the morning prayer, then faced the people and said, “While a man was driving a cow, he suddenly rode it and beat it. The cow said, ‘We have not been created for this, but we have been created for plowing.’ The people said astonishingly, ‘Glorified be Allah! A cow speaks!’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘I believe this, and Abu Bakr and Umar too believe this, although neither of them was present there.’ While a man was among his sheep, a wolf attacked and took one of the sheep. The man chased the wolf and saved the sheep. The wolf said, ‘You have saved it from me, but who will guard it on the day of wild beasts when there will be no shepherd except me?’ The people said, ‘Glorified be Allah! A wolf speaks!’ The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘But I believe this, and so do Abu Bakr and Umar, though neither was present there.'”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3472
Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “A man bought a piece of land from another man. The buyer found an earthenware jar filled with gold in the land. He said to the seller, ‘Take your gold. I have bought only the land, not the gold.’ The former owner replied, ‘I sold you the land with everything in it.’ So they took the matter before a judge, who asked them, ‘Do you have any children?’ One said, ‘I have a boy.’ The other said, ‘I have a girl.’ The judge said, ‘Marry the boy to the girl, and spend the money on both of them and give the rest in charity.'”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3473
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, “Plague was a means of torture sent upon a group of Israelites (or upon some people before you). If you hear of its outbreak in a land, do not enter it. If it occurs in a land where you are present, do not leave that land fleeing from it.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3474
Narrated `Aisha (the wife of the Prophet): I asked Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) about the plague. He told me that it was a punishment sent by Allah on whomever He wished, and that Allah made it a mercy for the believers. If anyone stays in a land where a plague has broken out, remaining patient and hoping for Allah’s reward, knowing that nothing will befall him except what Allah has written for him, he will receive the reward of a martyr.
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3475
Narrated `Aisha: The people of Quraysh worried about a lady from Bani Makhzum who had committed theft. They asked, “Who will intercede for her with Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)?” Some said, “No one dares except Usama bin Zaid, the beloved of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him).” When Usama spoke about this to the Prophet, he said to him, “Do you try to intercede for somebody in a case connected with Allah’s prescribed punishments?” Then he got up and delivered a sermon, saying, “What destroyed the nations before you was that if a noble among them stole, they would forgive him, and if a poor person stole, they would inflict Allah’s legal punishment on him. By Allah, if Fatima, the daughter of Muhammad, stole, I would cut off her hand.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3476
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: I heard a person reciting a Qur’anic verse in one way, and I had heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) reciting the same verse differently. So I took the man to the Prophet and informed him of that. I noticed a sign of disapproval on his face, then he said, “Both of you are correct, so do not differ, for the nations before you differed and were destroyed.”
Sahih al-Bukhari Hadith Number 3477

Narrated Abu Sa`id: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “Among the people preceding your age, there was a man whom Allah had given a lot of wealth. While he was on his deathbed, he called his sons and asked, ‘What type of father have I been to you?’ They replied, ‘You have been a good father.’ He said, ‘I have never done a single good deed; so when I die, burn me, crush my body, and scatter the ashes on a windy day.’ His sons did accordingly, but Allah gathered his particles and asked him, ‘What made you do so?’ He replied, ‘Fear of you.’ So Allah bestowed His Mercy upon him (forgave him).”

**Narrated Rabibin Hirash:** Uqba said to Hudhaifa, “Won’t you narrate to us what you heard from Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him)?” Hudhaifa said, “I heard him saying, ‘Death approached a man and when he had no hope of surviving, he said to his family, ‘When I die, gather for me much wood and build a fire to burn me. When the fire has eaten my flesh and reached my bones, take the bones and grind them and scatter the resulting powder in the sea on a hot (or windy) day.’ (That was done.) But Allah collected his particles and asked him, ‘Why did you do so?’ He replied, ‘For fear of You.’ So Allah forgave him.”
Narrated `Abdu Malik: As above, saying, “On a windy day.”

Sahih al-Bukhari 3481
Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “A man used to do sinful deeds, and when death came to him, he said to his sons, ‘After my death, burn me and then crush me, and scatter the powder in the air. By Allah, if Allah has control over me, He will punish me like no one else.’ When he died, his sons did as he said. Allah commanded the earth, ‘Collect what you hold of his particles.’ It did so, and behold, the man was standing. Allah asked him, ‘What made you do what you did?’ He replied, ‘O my Lord! I was afraid of You.’ So Allah forgave him.” Another narrator said the man said, “Fear of You, O Lord!”

Nations before us were given the Book (Scripture), and we were given the Holy Book after them. The day about which they differed was Friday, so the next day was prescribed for the Jews (Saturday) and the day after for the Christians (Sunday). It is obligatory for every Muslim to wash his head and body on a day (Friday) at least once every seven days.”

Narrated Sa`id bin Al-Musaiyab: When Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan came to Medina for the last time, he delivered a sermon before us. He took out a tuft of hair and said, “I never thought anyone other than the Jews would do such a thing (i.e., use false hair). The Prophet (peace be upon him) called this practice ‘Az-Zur’ (meaning falsehood), referring to the use of false hair.”
