whatever direction the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind
becomes quiet, it becomes straight again. Similarly, a believer is
afflicted with calamities (but he remains patient till Allah removes
his difficulties.) And an impious wicked person is like a pine tree
which keeps hard and straight till Allah cuts (breaks) it down when He
wishes." (See Hadith No. 558, Vol. 9.)

verses: 'Everybody is staying alive among his people, yet death is
nearer to him than his shoe laces." And whenever the fever deserted
Bilal, he would recite (two poetic lines): 'Would that I could stay
overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and
Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one day I would
drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama and Tafil (two
mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I came and informed
Allah's Apostle about that, whereupon he said, "O Allah! Make us love
Medina as much or more than we love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy
and bless its Mudd and Sa for us, and take away its fever and put it
in Al'Juhfa."

is for Allah what He takes, and what He gives; and everything before
His sight has a limited period. So she should hope for Allah's reward
and remain patient." She again sent a message, beseeching him by
Allah, to come. So the Prophet got up. and so did we (and went there).
The child was placed on his lap while his breath was irregular. Tears
flowed from the eyes of the Prophet. Sad said to him, "What is this, O
Allah's Apostle?" He said. "This Is Mercy which Allah has embedded in

should raise yours, and if he prays sitting. you should pray sitting."

leave one third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I
bequeath half and leave half?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I
bequeath one third and leave two thirds?" He said, "One third is
alright, though even one third is too much." Then he placed his hand
on his forehead and passed it over my face and abdomen and said, "O

feeling the coldness of his hand on my liver ever since.

is so."
Volume 7, Book 70, Number 567:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid:
The Prophet rode a donkey
having a saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind
him and went to visit Sad bin 'Ubada, and that had been before the
battle of Badr. The Prophet proceeded till he passed by a gathering in
which 'Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul was present, and that had been
before 'Abdullah embraced Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims,
polytheists, i.e., isolators and Jews. 'Abdullah bin Rawaha was also
present in that gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered the
gathering, 'Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper garment
and said, "Do not trouble us with dust." The Prophet greeted them,
stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them to Allah (i.e., to
embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses of the Holy Qur'an. On
that, 'Abdullah bin Ubai said, "O man ! There is nothing better than
what you say if it is true. Do not trouble us with it in our
gathering, but return to your house, and if somebody comes to you,
teach him there." On that 'Abdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Allah's
Apostle! Bring your teachings to our gathering, for we love that." So
the Muslims, the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till
they were about to fight. The Prophet kept on quietening them till
they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal and
proceeded till he entered upon Sad bin Ubada. He said to him "O Sad!
Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., 'Abdullah bin Ubai) said?"
Sad said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and forgive him, for Allah has
given you what He has given you. The people of this town (Medina
decided unanimously to crown him and make him their chief by placing a
turban on his head, but when that was prevented by the Truth which
Allah had given you he ('Abdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out of
jealously, and that was the reason which caused him to behave in the
way you have seen."

Narrated Al-Qasim bin
Muhammad:
'Aisha, (complaining of
headache) said, "Oh, my head"! Allah's Apostle said, "I wish that had
happened while I was still living, for then I would ask Allah's
Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah for you." Aisha said, "Wa
thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to die; and If this should
happen, you would spend the last part of the day sleeping with one of
your wives!" The Prophet said, "Nay, I should say, 'Oh my head!' I
felt like sending for Abu Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my
successor lest some people claimed something or some others wished
something, but then I said (to myself), 'Allah would not allow it to
be otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise".

leaves."

visit me during my ailment which had been aggravated during
Hajjat-al-Wada'. I said to him, "You see how sick I am. I have much
property but have no heir except my only daughter May I give two
thirds of my property in charity?"! He said, "No." I said, "Half of
it?" He said, "No." I said "One third?" He said, "One third is too
much, for to leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor,
begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure but you
shall get a reward for it, even for what you put in the mouth of your
wife."
Volume 7, Book 70, Number 573:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas:
When Allah's Apostle was
on his death-bed and in the house there were some people among whom
was 'Umar bin Al-Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for
you a statement after which you will not go astray." 'Umar said, "The
Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the Book of Allah
is enough for us." The people present in the house differed and
quarrelled. Some said "Go near so that the Prophet may write for you a
statement after which you will not go astray," while the others said
as Umar said. When they caused a hue and cry before the Prophet,
Allah's Apostle said, "Go away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn 'Abbas used

from writing that statement for them because of their disagreement and
noise."

tent.

me.' "

lifetime of the Prophet) left (this world) without having their
rewards reduced through enjoying the pleasures of this life, but we
have got (so much) wealth that we find no way to spend It except on
the construction of buildings Had the Prophet not forbidden us to wish
for death, I would have wished for it.' We visited him for the second

spends on building."

Apostle?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His favor
and mercy on me." So be moderate in your religious deeds and do the
deeds that are within your ability: and none of you should wish for
death, for if he is a good doer, he may increase his good deeds, and
if he is an evil doer, he may repent to Allah."

alive with his people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe
laces." And when fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic
verses): "Would that I could stay overnight in a valley wherein I
would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling
grass). Would that one day I could drink of the water of Majinna, and
would that Shama and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to
me!" I went to Allah's Apostle and informed him about that. He said,
"O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca, and
make it healthy, and bless its Sa and its Mudd, and take away its
fever and put it in Al-Juhfa." (See Hadith No 558) .
