Khawwat ibn Jubayr said, "Sleep at the beginning of the day is stupidity, in the middle of it is (an act of) character,and at the end of it is imbecility."
Anas said, "At the time that wine was made unlawful, there was
no drink that the people of Madina liked better than that made from dried
dates and unripe dates. I used to give the drink to the Companions of the
Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. They were
in the home of Abu Talha when a man passed by and announced, 'Wine has
been forbidden.' They did not say, 'When?' or 'Wait until we see.' They
said, 'Anas, break them!' Then they said in the presence of Umm Sulaym,
'Wait until it becomes cool and we have washed ourselves.' Then Umm Sulaym
put perfume on them. Then they went to the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, and the news was as the man had said."
Maymun (ibn Mahran) said, "I asked Nafi', 'Did Ibn 'Umar ever
invite people to a banquet?' He said, 'A camel of his once broke something
and so we sacrificed it. Then Ibn 'Umar said, "Gather the people of Madina
for me." I said, "Abu 'Abdu'r-Rahman, for what? We do not have any bread."
He said, "O Allah, praise belongs to You. These are bits of meat and this
is broth," or he said, "Broth and meat chunks. Whoever wishes can eat and
whoever wishes can leave it."'"
