(V.102:8) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Once during a day or a night Allah's
Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم came out and found Abu Bakr and 'Umar رضى الله عنهما, he said:
"What has brought you out of your homes at this hour?" They replied: "Hunger, O Allah's
Messenger." He said: "By Him (Allah) in Whose Hand my soul is, I too have come out for
the same reason for which you have come out". Then he صلى الله عليه وسلم said to them (both):
"Come along!"And he went along with them to a man from the Ansar but they did not find
him in his house. The wife of that man saw the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and said: "You are
welcome." Allah's Messenger صلى اللّه عليه وسلم asked her (saying): "Where is so-and-so?" She
replied: "He has gone to fetch some water for us." In the mean time the Ansarî man came,
saw Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم with his two Companions and said: "All the praise and
thanks be to Allah: today there is none superior to me as regards guests." Then he went
and brought a part of a bunch of date-fruit, having dates, some still green, some ripe and
some fully ripe and requested them to eat from it. He then took his knife (to slaughter for
them a sheep). Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him: "Beware! Do not slaughter a
milch sheep". So he slaughtered a sheep (prepared the meals from its meat). They ate
from that sheep and that bunch of dates and drank water. After they had finished eating
رضى said to Abu Bakr and 'Umar صلى الله عليه وسلم and drinking to their fill, Allah's Messenger
Luis AI : "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, you will be asked about this treat on the Day
of Resurrection. He (Allah) brought you out of your homes with hunger and you are not
returning to your homes till you have been blessed with this treat." (Sahih Muslim, Vol.6,
The Book of Drinks, Chapter 20, Pages 116,117).

[1] (V.105:5) The story of the army of the Elephants (the Qur'an 105:1-5). This incident
. صلى الله عليه وسلم happened during the period of the birth-year of Prophet Muhammad
Abrahah Al-Ashram was the governor of Yemen on behalf of the king of Ethiopia (as
Yemen was a part of the Ethiopian kingdom). He (Abrahah) thought to build a house (like
the Ka'bah at Makkah) in San'a (the capital of Yemen) and call the Arabs to perform the
pilgrimage there in San'a instead of the Ka'bah (Al-Bait Al-Harâm) in Makkah, with the
intention of diverting the trade and benefits from Makkah to Yemen. He presented his idea
to the king of Ethiopia who agreed to his idea. So the house (church) was built and he
named it Al-Qullais; there was no church of its like at that time. Then a man from the
Quraish tribe of Makkah came there and was infuriated by it, so he relieved his nature
(stools and urine) in it, soiled its walls and went away. When Abrahah Al-Ashram saw that,
he could not control his anger and raised an army to invade Makkah and demolish the
Ka'bah. He had in that army thirteen elephants and amongst them was an elephant called
Mahmud which was the biggest of them. So that army proceeded and none amongst the
Arab tribes that faced them (fought against them) but was killed and defeated, till it
approached near Makkah. Then there took place negotiations between Abrahah Al-Ashram
and the chief of Makkah (Abdul Muttalib bin Hashim, the grandfather of the Prophet & 1.
, le), and it was concluded that Abrahah would restore the camels of Abdul Muttalib
which he had taken away, and then he (Abrahah Al-Ashram) would decide himself as
regards the Ka'bah. Abdul Muttalib ordered the men of Makkah to evacuate the city and go
to the top of the mountains along with their wives and children in case some harm should
come to them from the invading oppressors. Then that army moved towards Makkah till

they reached valley Muhassir. While the army was marching towards Makkah, in the middle
of the valley, suddenly it was overtaken by flocks of birds, flocks after flocks, air-raiding that
army with small stones slightly bigger than a lentil seed. There never fell a stone on a
soldier except it dissolved his flesh and burst it into pieces. So they perished with a total
destruction. Abrahah Al-Ashram fled away while his flesh was bursting into pieces till he
died on the way (back to Yemen). Such was the victory bestowed by Allâh, (the
All-Majestic, All-Powerful) to the people of Makkah and such was the protection provided by
Him for His House (Ka'bah in Makkah). (See Tafsir Ibn Kathir, Sûrah Al-Fil).

Abu Lahab came looking out for the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم while Abu Bakr رضى الله عنه was
sitting beside him. Abu Bakr said to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم :'I wish if you get aside (or go
away) as she is coming, to us, she may harm you'. The Prophet said: 'There will be a screen
set between me and her'. So she did not see him صلى الله عليه وسلم .She said to Abu Bakr: 'Your
companion is saying poetry against me.' Abu Bakr said: 'By Allah he does not say poetry.' She
said: 'Do you believe that'. Then she left. Abu Bakr said, 'O Allah's Messenger! She did not
see you'. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: 'An angel was screening me from her.'"

A) Narrated Mu'adh bin Jabal رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "O Mu'adh! Do
you know what Allah's Right upon His slaves is?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know
better." The Prophet صلى اللّه عليه وسلم said, "To worship Him (Allah) Alone and to join none in
worship with Him (Allah). Do you know what their right upon Him is?" I replied, "Allah and

B) Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri رضى الله عنه: A man heard another man reciting: 'Say (O
Muhammad): "He is Allâh, (the) One." (112:1) And he recited it repeatedly. When it was
morning, he went to the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and informed him about that as if he
considered that the recitation of that Surah by itself was not enough. Allah's Messenger
said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equal to one-third of the صلى اللّه عليه وسلم
Qur'ân." [Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Hadith No. 471].

[1] (V.114:1) Narrated 'Aishah رضى الله عنها : whenever Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went
to bed, he used to recite Sûrat Al-Ikhlas (112), Sûrat Al-Falaq (113) and Surat An-Nas (114)
and then blow on his palms and pass them over his face and those parts of his body that
his hands could reach. And when he fell ill, he used to order me to do like that for him.
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 7, Hadith No. 644).

(V.114:2) The Statement of Allah Ja, je: 'The King of mankind.'
Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "On the Day of
Resurrection Allah will grasp the whole (planet of) earth (by His Hand) and shall roll up the
heaven with His Right Hand and say, 'I am the King. Where are the kings of the earth?"
(Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 9, Hadith No. 479).
[3]
(V.114:4) Narrated Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه :Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "The
(Hell) Fire is surrounded by all kinds of desires and passions, while Paradise is surrounded
by all kinds of disliked undesirable things."* (Sahih Al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Hadith No. 494).
* Inordinate desires and animalistic passions lead to the Fire while self-control,
perseverance, chastity and all other virtues, and the obedience to Allah and His Messenger
lead to Paradise. What leads to Hell is easy to do while what leads to صلى اللّه عليه وسلم
Paradise is difficult to do.
