Muhammad ibn Hilal reported that he saw the rooms of the wives
of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace. The rooms were
made of palm trunks covered with hair. The transmitter (Muhammad ibn Abi
Fudayk) said, "I asked him about 'A'isha's room and he said, 'Its door
faced Syria.' I asked, 'Was it one or two spans?' 'Its door was one span,'
he replied. I asked, 'And what was it made of?' He said, 'From cypress
or teak wood.'"
حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ بَكَّارٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا الأَسْوَدُ بْنُ شَيْبَانَ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ سُمَيْرٍ، عَنْ بَشِيرِ بْنِ نَهِيكٍ، عَنْ بَشِيرٍ، وَكَانَ اسْمُهُ زَحْمَ بْنَ مَعْبَدٍ، فَهَاجَرَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم، فَقَالَ: مَا اسْمُكَ؟ قَالَ: زَحْمٌ، قَالَ: بَلْ أَنْتَ بَشِيرٌ، قَالَ: بَيْنَمَا أَنَا أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِذْ مَرَّ بِقُبُورِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ سَبَقَ هَؤُلاَءِ خَيْرٌ كَثِيرٌ ثَلاَثًا، فَمَرَّ بِقُبُورِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَقَالَ: لَقَدْ أَدْرَكَ هَؤُلاَءِ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا ثَلاَثًا، فَحَانَتْ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم نَظْرَةٌ، فَرَأَى رَجُلاً يَمْشِي فِي الْقُبُورِ، وَعَلَيْهِ نَعْلاَنِ، فَقَالَ: يَا صَاحِبَ السِّبْتِيَّتَيْنِ، أَلْقِ سِبْتِيَّتَيْكَ، فَنَظَرَ الرَّجُلُ، فَلَمَّا رَأَى النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم خَلَعَ نَعْلَيْهِ فَرَمَى بِهِمَا.
Bashir ibn Ma'bad as-Sadusi (whose name was Zahim ibn Ma'bad) made
hijra (emigration) to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
and the Prophet asked him, "What is your name?" "Zahim," he replied. The
Prophet said, 'No, you are Bashir." Bashir said, "While I was walking with
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, he passed
the graves of some idolaters. He said, 'These people have missed much good'
three times. Then he passed by the graves of the Muslims and observed,
'These people have obtained much good.' The Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, suddenly looked up and saw a man wearing sandals walking
among the graves. He said, 'You with the ox-hide sandals, take off your
sandals!' When he saw the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace,
he removed his sandals and threw them away.'"
Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless
him and grant him peace, said, "The Final Hour will not come until houses'
adornments resemble painted garments."
Jabir said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was at al-Ji'rana on the Day of the Battle of Hunayn with the
spoils in the custody of Bilal. The Prophet was dividing them out. A man
came up to him and said, 'Be just! You are not being just!' The Prophet
said, 'Bother you! Who will be just if I am not just?' 'Umar said, 'Messenger
of Allah, let me strike off the head of the hypocrite!' The Prophet said,
'This man is with his followers who recite the Qur'an and it does not go
beyond their throats. They pass through the deen as an arrow passes through
the target (i.e. nothing of it remains on the arrow).'"
