Muhammad ibn Sirin related that Abu Hurayra blew his nose in his
garment and then said, "Squirt! Squirt! Abu Hurayra blows his nose
in linen. You saw me lying between 'A'isha's room and the minbar
when people said I was crazy, but I was only hungry."
Abu Hurayra related, "Some people said, 'Messenger of Allah, we
feel in ourselves something which we do not want to speak about and we
have been in that state since sunrise.' He said, 'Have you really felt
like that?' 'Yes,' they said. He said, 'That is clear belief.'"
Abu'l-Malih reported from one of his people (who was a Companion)
that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When
Allah wants one of His slaves to die in some land, he makes him have a
reason for going there."
Shahr ibn Hawshab said, "Me and my maternal aunt visited 'A'isha
and said, 'Sometimes something occurs to one of us such that, if he had
spoken about it, that would have been the end of his hopes for the Next
World. If it were to be revealed, he would be killed for it.' She said
the takbir three times and then said, 'The Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, was asked about that and said, "If that
happens to one of you, he should say the takbir three times. Only a believer
feels that.'"
