It is narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Abbas that a delegation of Abdul Qais came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: Messenger of Allah, verily ours is a tribe of Rabi'ah and there stand between you and us the unbelievers of Mudar and we find no freedom to come to you except in the sacred month. Direct us to an act which we should ourselves perform and invite those who live beside us. Upon this the Prophet (ﷺ) remarked: I command you to do four things and prohibit you against four acts. (The four deeds which you are commanded to do are): Faith in Allah, and then he explained it for them and said: Testifying the fact. that there is no god but Allah, that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, performance of prayer, payment of Zakat, that you pay Khums (one-fifth) of the booty fallen to your lot, and I prohibit you to use round gourd, wine jars, wooden pots or skins for wine. Khalaf bin Hisham has made this addition in his narration: Testifying the fact that there is no god but Allah, and then he with his finger pointed out the oneness of the Lord.

Ubayy bin Ka'b reported: There was a person among the Ansar whose house was situated at the farthest end of Madinah, but he never in missed any prayer along with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . We felt pity for him and said to him: O, so and so, had you bought a donkey it would have saved you from the burning sand and would have saved you from the reptiles of the earth. He said: Listen! by Allah, I do not like my house to be situated by the side of Muhammad (ﷺ) . I took (these words of his) ill and came to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him about (these words). He (the Holy Prophet) called him and he said exactly like that (which he had mentioned to Ubbay bin Ka'b), but made a mention of this (also) that he wanted a reward for his steps. Upon this the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said: In fact for you is the reward which you expect.

A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) said: Some among us put on Ihram for Hajj alone (Hajj Mufrad); some of us for Hajj and 'Umrah together (Qiran), and some of us for Tamattau (first for 'Umrah and after completing it for Hajj).

Nafi' thus reported on the authority of Ibn 'Umar (RA): We entered into the state of Ihram with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) for Hajj Mufrad and in the narration of Ibn 'Aun (the words are): "Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) entered into the state of Ihram (with the intention) of Hajj Mufrad."

'A'isha (Allah be pleased with her) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) sought our permission when he had a (turn to spend) a day with (one of his wives) amongst us (whereas he wanted to visit his other wives too). It was after this that this verse was revealed: "Thou mayest put off whom thou pleasest of them, and take for thee whom thou pleasest" (xxxiii. 5). Mu'adha said to her: What did you say to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he sought your permission? She said: I used to say: If I had the option in this I would not have (allowed anyone) to have precedence over me.

Ibn 'Umar (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: The names dearest to Allah are 'Abdullah and 'Abdul Rahman.

'A'isha reported that when any of the members of the household fell ill Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to blow over him by reciting Mu'awwidhatan, and when he suffered from illness of which he died I used to blow over him and rubbed his body with his hand for his hand had greater healing power than my hand.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of 'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) through other chains of transmitters, but in the hadith transmitted by Umar bin 'Ali there is an addition of these words: I met 'Abdullah bin 'Amr at the end of the year and I asked him about it, and he narrated to us the hadith as he had narrated before that he had heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying.... (The rest of the hadith is the same).
