'Urwa bin al Mughira bin Shu'bah reported it on the authority of his father that he said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) lagged behind (in a journey) and I also lagged behind along with him. After having relieved himself he said: Have you any water with you? I brought to him a jar of water; he washed his palms, and face, and when he tried to get his forearms out (he could not) for the sleeve of the gown was tight. He, therefore, brought them out from under the gown and, throwing it over his shoulders, he washed his forearm. He then wiped his forelock and his turban and his socks. He then mounted and I also mounted (the ride) and came to the people. They had begun the prayer with 'Abd ar-Rabmin bin 'Auf leading them and had completed a rak'a. When he perceived the presence of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) he began to retire. He (the Holy Prophet) signed to him to continue and offered prayer along with them. Then when he had pronounced the salutation, the Apostle (ﷺ) got up and I also got up with him, and we offered the rak'a which had been finished before we came.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that he met the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) on one of the paths leading to Madinah in a state of (sexual) defilement and he slipped away and took a bath. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) searched for him and when he came, he said to him: O Abu Hurairah (RA) , where were you? He said: Messenger of Allah, you met when I was (sexually) defiled and I did not like to sit in your company before taking a bath. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Hallowed be Allah, verily a believer is never defiled.

Anas reported: A man came panting and entered the row of worshippers and said: Praise be to Allah, much praised and blessed. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) finished the prayer he said: Who amongst you uttered these words? The people remained silent. He (the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) again said) -: Who amongst you uttered these words? He said nothing wrong. Then a man said: I came and had a difficulty in breathing, so I uttered them. He replied: I saw twelve angels facing one another as to who will take them up (to Allah).

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in a journey he got down for rest at night, and he used to lie down on his right side, and when he lay down for rest before the dawn, he used to stretch his forearm and place his head over his palm.

'Abdullah bin Shaqiq al-'Uqaili reported: I asked 'A'isha about the prayer of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the night (i. e. Tahajjud prayer) She replied: He used to pray for a long time standing and for a long time sitting in the night, and when he recited the Qur'an while standing, he would bow himself from the standing position, and when he recited while sitting, he would bow from the sitting position.

Anas (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) observed Saum Wisal during the early part of the month of Ramadan. The people among Muslims also observed uninterrupted fast. This (news) reached him (the Holy Prophet) and he said: Had the month been lengthened for me I would have continued observing Saum Wisal, so that those who act with forced hardness would (have been obliged) to abandon it. You are not like me (or he said): I am not like you. I continue to do so (in a state) that my Lord feeds me and provides me drink.

Humaid reported that Anas (RA) was asked about fasting during Ramadan while travelling. He said: We travelled with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) during the month of Ramadan, but neither the observer of the fast found fault with the breaker of the fast, nor the breaker of the fast found fault with the observer of the fast.

Abu Khalid al-Ahmar narrated from Humaid who said: I went out and was fasting; they said to me: Break (it go back, repeat). He said that Anas reported that the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) used to set out on a journey and neither the observer of the fast found fault with the breaker of the fast, nor the breaker of the fast found fault with the observer of the fast. (One of the narrators Humaid said): I met Ibn Abi Mulaikahh who informed me the same thing on the authority of 'A'isha.

Anas (RA) said: I heard Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) (way peace be upon him) pronouncing Talbiya for both Hajj and 'Umrah. Bakr (one of the narrators) said: I narrated it to Ibn 'Umar, whereupon he said: He (the Holy Prophet) pronounced the Talbiya for Hajj alone. I met Anas and narrated to him the words of Ibn 'Umar, whereupon he said: You treat us not but only as children. I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) pronouncing Talbiya both for 'Umrah and Hajj.

Anas (Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) pronouncing Talbiya for both simultaneously, Talbiya for 'Umrah and Hajj. Talbiya for Uwra and Hajj (he performed both Hajj and 'Umrah as a Qarin). In another version words are: I heard Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) pronouncing Talbiya for 'Umrah and Hajj (simultaneously)."

Anas (RA) reported: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) pronouncing Talbiya for both simultaneously, Talbiya for 'Umrah and Hajj. Talbiya for 'Umrah and Hajj (he performed both Hajj and 'Umrah as a Qiran). In another version words are: "I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) pronouncing Talbiya for 'Umrah and Hajj (simultaneously)."

Bakr bin 'Abdullah al-Muzani said: While I was sitting along with Ibn 'Abbas (RA) near the Ka’bah, there came a bedouin to him and said: What is the matter that I see that the progeny of your uncle supply honey and milk (as drink to the travellers), whereas you supply al-nabidh (water sweetened with dates)? Is it due to your poverty or due to your close-fistedness? Thereupon Ibn 'Abbas said: Allah be praised, it is neither due to poverty nor due to close-fistedness (but due to the fact) that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) came here riding his she-camel, and there was sitting behind him Usama. He asked for water, and we gave him a cup full of nabidh and he drank it, and gave the remaining (part) to Usama; and he (the Holy Prophet) said: You have done Food, you have done well. So continue doing like it. So we do not like to change what Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had commanded us to do.

Amr al-Naqid and Suraij ibn Yunus narrated to me, they said: Hushaym narrated to us, Humayd informed us, from Thabit, from Anas, who said: And I think I have heard it from Anas.

And Yahya ibn Yahya narrated to us—and the wording is his—he informed us: Hushaym, from Humayd, from Thabit al-Bunani, from Anas, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, passed by a man who was driving a sacrificial camel, and he said: "Ride it." The man said: "It is a sacrificial camel." He said: "Ride it," two or three times.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf (RA) married a woman for a date-stone's weight of gold and Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said to him: Hold a wedding feast, even if only with a sheep.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Humaid with the same chain of transmitters except (with this minor alteration of words) that 'Abdul Rahman said: "I married a woman."

Anas (RA) reported that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) forbade the sale of the fruit of date-palms until it becomes mellow. We (some of the other narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: What does the word" mellow" mean? He said: (There the fruit) turns red or yellow. Don't you see if Allah had checked (the growth of) fruits; then what for the wealth of your brother would be permissible for you?

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) forbade the sale of fruits until these are mellow. They (the companions of Anas) said: What is meant by" mellow"? He said: It implies that these became red. He said: When Allah hinders the growth of fruits, (then) what for the wealth of your brother would become permissible for you?

Anas (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: If Allah does not fructify them, then what is permissible for one of you to take the wealth of his brother?

It is narrated on the authority of Humaid that Anas bin Malik (RA) was asked about the earnings of the cupper. He said: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) got himself cupped. His cupper was Abu Taiba and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded to give him two sa's of corn. He (the Holy Prophet) talked with the members of his family and they lightened the burden of Kharaj (tax) from him (i. e. they made remis- sion in the charges of their own accord). He (Allah's Apostle) (ﷺ) said: The best (treat- ment) which you take is cupping, or it is the best of your treatments.

Rumaid reported that Anas bin Malik (RA) has asked about the earnings of a cupper. Then (the above-mentioned hadith was reported but with this addition) that he said: The best treatment which you get is cupping or aloeswood and do not torture your children by pressing their uvula.

Humaid reported Anas (RA) having said this: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) called for young cupper belonging to us. He cupped him and he (the Holy Prophet) commanded that he should be paid one sa' or one mudd or two mudds (of wheat). It was said (that charges were high) and a reduction was made in the charges.

Yahya ibn Yahya al-Tamimi narrated to us, he said: Yazid ibn Zuray’ narrated to us, from Humayd, from Thabit, from Anas. And Ibn Abi ‘Umar narrated to us (and the wording is his), he said: Marwan ibn Mu’awiyah al-Fazari narrated to us, Humayd narrated to us, Thabit narrated to me, from Anas:

That the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw an old man being supported between his two sons. He said: "What is the matter with this man?" They said: He vowed to walk. He said: "Indeed, Allah is not in need of this man punishing himself," and he commanded him to ride.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdul Rahman bin ahadeeth through another chain of transmitters but there is no mention of the word "authority".

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported that some people belonging (to the tribe) of 'Uraina came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) at Madinah, but they found its climate uncogenial. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to them: If you so like, you may go to the camels of Sadaqa and drink their milk and urine. They did so and were all right. They then fell upon the shepherds and killed them and turned apostates from Islam and drove off the camels of the Prophet (ﷺ) . This news reached Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) and he sent (people) on their track and they were (brought) and handed over to him. He (the Holy Prophet) got their hands cut off, and their feet, and put out their eyes, and threw them on the stony ground until they died.

The same tradition has been narrated through a different chain of transmitters.

It has been narrated on the authority of Anas bin Malik (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:" Nobody who dies and has something good for him with Allah will (ever like to) return to this world even though he were offered the whole world and all that is in its (as an inducement), except the martyr who desires to return and be killed in the world for the (great) merit of martyrdom that he has seen.

Anas reported that person at Baqi' called another person as "Abu'l- Qasim," and Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) turned towards him. He (the person who had uttered these words) said: Messenger of Allah, I did not mean you, but I called such and such (person), whereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: You may call yourself by my name, but not by my kunya.

Musa bin Anas reported on the authority of his father: It never happened that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked anything for the sake of Islam and he did not give that. There came to him a person and he gave him a large flock (of sheep and goats) and he went back to his people and said: My people, embrace Islam, for Muhammad gives so much charity as if he has no fear of want.

Anas reported that the hair of Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) reached half of the earlobe.

Abu al-Khattab Ziyad ibn Yahya al-Hassani narrated to us, Muhammad ibn Abi Adi narrated to us, from Humayd, from Thabit, from Anas, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, visited a man from among the Muslims who had become weak until he was like a chick. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to him: "Did you used to supplicate for something or ask Him for anything?" He said: Yes, I used to say: O Allah, whatever You were going to punish me with in the Hereafter, hasten it for me in this world. The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Glory be to Allah! You cannot bear it, or you are not able to do so. Why did you not say: O Allah, grant us good in this world and good in the Hereafter, and protect us from the punishment of the Fire?" He said: So he supplicated to Allah for him, and He cured him.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Humaid with the same chain of transmitters, but with a slight variation of wording.

Anas bin Malik (RA) reported: The Paradise is surrounded by hardships and the Hell-Fire is surrounded by temptations.
