Hadith Number 3711-3712
Narrated ‘Aisha: Fatima sent somebody to Abu Bakr asking him to give her her inheritance from the Prophet (peace be upon him) from what Allah had given to His Apostle through Fai (i.e. booty gained without fighting). She asked for the Sadaqa of the Prophet (peace be upon him) at Medina, and Fadak, and what remained of the Khumus of the Khaibar booty. Abu Bakr said, “Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, ‘We (Prophets), our property is not inherited, and whatever we leave is Sadaqa, but Muhammad’s Family can eat from this property, i.e. Allah’s property, but they have no right to take more than the food they need.’ By Allah! I will not bring any change in dealing with the Sadaqa of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and will keep them as they used to be observed in his lifetime, and I will dispose with it as Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) used to do.” Then ‘Ali said, “I testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His Apostle,” and added, “O Abu Bakr! We acknowledge your superiority.” Then he mentioned their own relationship to Allah’s Apostle and their right. Abu Bakr then spoke saying, “By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, I love to do good to the relatives of Allah’s Apostle rather than to my own relatives.”

Then he called her again and told her a secret whereupon she laughed. When I asked her about that, she replied, “The Prophet (peace be upon him) spoke to me in secret and informed me that he would die in the course of the illness during which he died, so I wept. He again spoke to me in secret and informed me that I would be the first of his family to follow him after his death, and on that I laughed.”

A man from Quraish came to him and said, “Appoint your successor.” ‘Uthman asked, “Did the people name him (the successor)?” The man said, “Yes.” ‘Uthman asked, “Who is that?” The man remained silent. Another man came to ‘Uthman, and I think it was Al-Harith. He also said, “Appoint your successor.” ‘Uthman asked, “Did the people name him?” The man replied, “Yes.” ‘Uthman said, “Who is that?” The man remained silent. ‘Uthman said, “Perhaps they have mentioned Az-Zubair?” The man said, “Yes.” ‘Uthman said, “By Him in Whose Hands my life is, he is the best of them as I know, and the dearest of them to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him).”

I saw you going to and coming from Bani Quraiza.” He said, “Did you really see me, O my son?” I said, “Yes.” He said, “Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said, ‘Who will go to Bani Quraiza and bring me their news?’ So I went, and when I came back, Allah’s Messenger mentioned for me both his parents, saying, ‘Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you.’”

We used to fight along with the Prophet (peace be upon him), while we had nothing to eat except the leaves of trees, so that one’s excrete would look like the excrete balls of a camel or a sheep, containing nothing to bind them together. Today the Banu Asad tribe blame me for not having understood Islam. I would be a loser if my deeds were in vain.” Those people complained about Sa’d to ‘Umar, claiming that he did not offer his prayers perfectly.

Fatima heard of this and went to Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) saying, “Your people think that you do not become angry for the sake of your daughters, as Ali is now going to marry the daughter of Abu Jahl.” On that, Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) got up, and after reciting Tashahhud, I heard him saying, “Then after! I married one of my daughters to Abu Al-‘As bin Al-Rabi‘ (the husband of Zainab, the daughter of the Prophet (peace be upon him)) before Islam, and he proved truthful in whatever he said to me. No doubt, Fatima is a part of me, and I hate to see her being troubled. By Allah, the daughter of Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) and the daughter of Allah’s enemy cannot be the wives of one man.” So Ali gave up that engagement.
Al-Miswar further said: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) mentioning a son-in-law of his belonging to the tribe of Bani ‘Abd Shams. He highly praised him concerning that relationship and said, “Whenever he spoke to me, he spoke the truth, and whenever he promised me, he fulfilled his promise.”

Hadith Number 3733
Aisha said: A woman from Bani Makhzumiya committed a theft and the people said, “Who can intercede with the Prophet (peace be upon him) for her?” So nobody dared speak to him but Usama bin Zaid spoke to him. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “If a reputable man amongst the children of Bani Israel committed a theft, they used to forgive him, but if a poor man committed a theft, they would cut off his hand. But I would cut even the hand of Fatima (i.e. the daughter of the Prophet) if she committed a theft.”
Hadith Number 3734
Abdullah bin Dinar narrated: One day Ibn Umar, while in the mosque, looked at a man who was dragging his clothes while walking in one of the corners of the mosque. He said, “See who that is. I wish he was near to me.” Somebody then said to Ibn Umar, “Do you not know him, O Abu Abdur-Rahman?

He was seen by Ibn Umar not performing his bowing and prostrations in a perfect manner, so Ibn Umar told him to repeat his prayer.
Hadith Number 3737
Harmala, the freed slave of Usama bin Zaid, said: While he was in the company of Abdullah bin Umar, Al-Hajjaj bin Aiman came in and while praying he did not perform his bowing and prostrations properly.

When he went away, Ibn Umar asked me, “Who is he?” I said, “Al-Hajjaj bin Umm Aiman.” Ibn Umar said, “If Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) saw him, he would have loved him.” Then Ibn Umar mentioned the love of the Prophet (peace be upon him) for the children of Umm Aiman. Sulaiman said that Umm Aiman was one of the nurses of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

Hadith Number 3738-3739
Ibn Umar said: If a man saw a dream during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace be upon him), he would narrate it to the Prophet (peace be upon him). Once I wished to see a dream and narrate it to the Prophet (peace be upon him). I was young, unmarried, and used to sleep in the mosque during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace be upon him). I dreamt that two angels took me and went away with me towards the Fire which looked like a well with the inside walls built up, and had two side-walls like those of a well. There I saw some people in it whom I knew. I started saying, “I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire, I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire.” Then another angel met the other two and said to me, “Do not be afraid.” I narrated my dream to Hafsa who, in her turn, narrated it to the Prophet (peace be upon him). He said, “What an excellent man Abdullah is if he only observes the night prayer.” Salem, a sub-narrator, said, “Abdullah used not to sleep at night but very little henceforward.”

He asked me, "From where are you?" I replied, "From the people of Al-Kufa." He said, "Isn't there amongst you Ibn Um Abd, the one who used to carry the shoes, the cushion (or pillow) and the water for ablution? Is there amongst you the one whom Allah gave refuge from Satan through the request of His Prophet? Is there amongst you the one who keeps the secrets of the Prophet (peace be upon him) which nobody knows except him?” Abu Darda further asked, “How does Abdullah bin Masud recite the Sura starting with, ‘By the Night as it conceals (the light)’ (92:1)?” Then I recited before him: “By the Night as it envelops; And by the Day as it appears in brightness; And by male and female” (91:1-3).

Alqama replied in the affirmative. Abu Ad-Darda said, "Isn't there amongst you the person who carries the Siwak (or the Secret) of the Prophet (peace be upon him), namely Abdullah bin Masud?" Alqama said, "Yes." Then Abu Ad-Darda asked, "How did Abdullah bin Mas`ud use to recite the Sura starting with: ‘By the night as it envelopes; By the day as it appears in brightness’ (92:1-2)?” Alqama replied, “And by male and female.” Abu Ad-Darda then said, “These people (of Sham) tried hard to make me accept something other than what I had heard from the Prophet (peace be upon him).”

You should tell the Prophet (peace be upon him) to tell the people to send their presents wherever he may be.’ ” Um Salama said that to the Prophet, and he turned away. When she repeated it twice more, the Prophet said, ‘O Um Salama! Do not trouble me by harming `Aisha, for by Allah, the Divine Inspiration never came to me while I was under the blanket of any woman among you except her.'”
