Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 779

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.'"

Abu Hurayra said, "A man came to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah
bless him and grant him peace, and said, 'Messenger of Allah, which sadaqa
has the best reward?' He said, 'By your father, you will learn of it. It
is that you give sadaqa while you are healthy and avaricious, fearful of
poverty and desirous of wealth. You should not delay it until you are at
the point of death and then say, "This much is for so-and-so. This much
is for so-and-so. This much is for so-and-so."'"

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.'"
