It is Moses and his followers It was said to me, 'Look at the
horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people filling the
horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about
the stretching sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the
horizon,' It was said to me, 'This is your nation out of whom
seventy thousand shall enter Paradise without reckoning.'
"Then the Prophet entered his house without telling his
companions who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started
talking about the issue and said, "It is we who have believed
in Allah and followed His Apostle; therefore those people are
either ourselves or our children who are born m the Islamic
era, for we were born in the Pre−lslamic Period of
Ignorance.'' When the Prophet heard of that, he came out and
said. "Those people are those who do not treat themselves with
Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or good omen (from birds
etc.) nor do they get themselves branded (Cauterized). but
they put their trust (only) in their Lord " On that 'Ukasha
bin Muhsin said. "Am I one of them, O Allah's Apostle?' The
Prophet said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am
I one of them?" The Prophet said, 'Ukasha has anticipated
you."
7.607:
Narrated Um Salama: The husband of a lady died and her eyes
became sore and the people mentioned her story to the Prophet
They asked him whether it was permissible for her to use kohl
as her eyes were exposed to danger. He said, "Previously, when
one of you was bereaved by a husband she would stay in her
dirty clothes in a bad unhealthy house (for one year), and
when a dog passed by, she would throw a globe of dung. No,
(she should observe the prescribed period Idda) for four
months and ten days.'
7.608:

'Adwa (no contagious disease is conveyed without Allah's

Safar, and one should run away from the leper as one runs away
from a lion.''

Narrated Ibn `Abbas and `Aisha: Abu Bakr kissed (the forehead
of) the Prophet when he was dead. `Aisha added: We put
medicine in one side of his mouth but he started waving us not
to insert the medicine into his mouth. We said, "He dislikes
the medicine as a patient usually does." But when he came to
his senses he said, "Did I not forbid you to put medicine (by
force) in the side of my mouth?" We said, "We thought it was
just because a patient usually dislikes medicine." He said,
"None of those who are in the house but will be forced to take
medicine in the side of his mouth while I am watching, except
Al−`Abbas, for he had not witnessed your deed."
7.611:
Narrated Um Qais:
I went to Allah's Apostle along with a a son of mine whose
palate and tonsils I had pressed with my finger as a treatment
for a (throat and tonsil) disease. The Prophet said, "Why do
you pain your children by pressing their throats! Use Ud
Al−Hindi (certain Indian incense) for it cures seven diseases,
one of which is pleurisy. It is used as a snuff for treating
throat and tonsil disease and it is inserted into one side of
the mouth of one suffering from pleurisy."
7.612:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) When the health of Allah's Apostle
deteriorated and his condition became serious, he asked the
permission of all his wives to allow him to be treated In my
house, and they allowed him. He came out, supported by two men
and his legs were dragging on the ground between `Abbas and
another man. (The sub−narrator told Ibn `Abbas who said: Do
you know who was the other man whom `Aisha did not mention?
The sub−narrator said: No. Ibn `Abbas said: It was `Ali.)
`Aisha added: When the Prophet entered my house and his
disease became aggravated, he said, "Pour on me seven water
skins full of water (the tying ribbons of which had not been
untied) so that I may give some advice to the people." So we
made him sit in a tub belonging to Hafsa, the wife of the
Prophet and started pouring water on him from those water
skins till he waved us to stop. Then he went out to the people
and led them in prayer and delivered a speech before them.

one of which is pleurisy."

the sand, but when a mangy camel comes and mixes with them,
they all get infected with mangy." The Prophet said, "Then who
conveyed the (mange) disease to the first one?"
7.616:

and tonsils she had pressed to treat a throat trouble. The

diseases, one of which is pleurisy." 7.617:

and `Uraina came to Allah's Apostle and embraced Islam and
said, "O Allah's Apostle! We are owners of livestock and have
never been farmers," and they found the climate of Medina
unsuitable for them. So Allah's Apostle ordered that they be
given some camels and a shepherd, and ordered them to go out
with those camels and drink their milk and urine. So they set
out, but when they reached a place called Al−Harra, they
reverted to disbelief after their conversion to Islam, killed
the shepherd and drove away the camels. When this news reached
the Prophet he sent in their pursuit (and they were caught and
brought). The Prophet ordered that their eyes be branded with
heated iron bars and their hands be cut off, and they were

for Sham and when he reached Sargh, the commanders of the
(Muslim) army, Abu 'Ubaida bin Al−Jarrah and his companions
met him and told him that an epidemic had broken out in Sham.
`Umar said, "Call for me the early emigrants." So `Umar called
them, consulted them and informed them that an epidemic had
broken out in Sham. Those people differed in their opinions.
Some of them said, "We have come out for a purpose and we do
not think that it is proper to give it up," while others said
(to `Umar), "You have along with you. other people and the
companions of Allah's Apostle so do not advise that we take
them to this epidemic." `Umar said to them, "Leave me now."
Then he said, "Call the Ansar for me." I called them and he
consulted them and they followed the way of the emigrants and
differed as they did. He then said to them, Leave me now," and
added, "Call for me the old people of Quraish who emigrated in
the year of the Conquest of Mecca." I called them and they
gave a unanimous opinion saying, "We advise that you should
return with the people and do not take them to that (place) of
epidemic." So `Umar made an announcement, "I will ride back to
Medina in the morning, so you should do the same." Abu 'Ubaida
bin Al−Jarrah said (to `Umar), "Are you running away from what
Allah had ordained?" `Umar said, "Would that someone else had
said such a thing, O Abu 'Ubaida! Yes, we are running from
what Allah had ordained to what Allah has ordained. Don't you
agree that if you had camels that went down a valley having
two places, one green and the other dry, you would graze them
on the green one only if Allah had ordained that, and you
would graze them on the dry one only if Allah had ordained
that?" At that time `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf, who had been
absent because of some job, came and said, "I have some
knowledge about this. I have heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'If
you hear about it (an outbreak of plague) in a land, do not go
to it; but if plague breaks out in a country where you are
staying, do not run away from it.' " `Umar thanked Allah and
returned to Medina.

ached Sargh, he got the news that an epidemic (of plague) had
broken out in Sham. `Abdur−Rahman bin `Auf told him that

out in a land, do not go to it; but if it breaks out in a land
where you are present, do not go out escaping from it."

(Ad−Dajjal) nor plague will enter Medina."

plague is martyrdom for every Muslim."
7.629:

dies of an Abdominal disease is a a martyr, and he who dies of
plague is a martyr."
7.630:
Narrated `Aisha:
(the wife of the Prophet) that she asked Allah's Apostle about
plague, and Allah's Apostle informed her saying, "Plague was a
punishment which Allah used to send on whom He wished, but
Allah made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the
believers) remains patient in a land in which plague has
broken out and considers that nothing will befall him except
what Allah has ordained for him, but that Allah will grant him
a reward similar to that of a martyr."
7.631:
Narrated `Aisha:
During the Prophet's fatal illness, he used to recite the
Mu'auwidhat (Surat An−Nas and Surat Al−Falaq) and then blow
his breath over his body. When his illness was aggravated, I

make him rub his body with his own hand for its blessings."

them over his face.)

Prophet came across a tribe amongst the tribes of the Arabs,
and that tribe did not entertain them. While they were in that
state, the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or stung
by a scorpion). They said, (to the companions of the Prophet
), "Have you got any medicine with you or anybody who can
treat with Ruqya?" The Prophet's companions said, "You refuse
to entertain us, so we will not treat (your chief) unless you
pay us for it." So they agreed to pay them a flock of sheep.
One of them (the Prophet's companions) started reciting
Surat−al−Fatiha and gathering his saliva and spitting it (at
the snake−bite). The patient got cured and his people
presented the sheep to them, but they said, "We will not take
it unless we ask the Prophet (whether it is lawful)." When
they asked him, he smiled and said, "How do you know that
Surat−al−Fatiha is a Ruqya? Take it (flock of sheep) and
assign a share for me."
7.633:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: Some of the companions of the Prophet
passed by some people staying at a place where there was
water, and one of those people had been stung by a scorpion. A
man from those staying near the water, came and said to the
companions of the Prophet, "Is there anyone among you who can
do Ruqya as near the water there is a person who has been
stung by a scorpion." So one of the Prophet's companions went
to him and recited Surat−al−Fatiha for a sheep as his fees.
The patient got cured and the man brought the sheep to his
companions who disliked that and said, "You have taken wages
for reciting Allah's Book." When they arrived at Medina, they
said, ' O Allah's Apostle! (This person) has taken wages for
reciting Allah's Book" On that Allah's Apostle said, "You are
most entitled to take wages for doing a Ruqya with Allah's
Book."

eye is a fact." And he prohibited tattooing.
7.637:
Narrated Al−Aswad: I asked `Aisha about treating poisonous
stings (a snake−bite or a scorpion sting) with a Ruqya. She
said, "The Prophet allowed the treatment of poisonous sting
with Ruqya."
7.638:
Narrated `Abdul `Aziz: Thabit and I went to Anas bin Malik.
Thabit said, "O Abu Hamza! I am sick." On that Anas said,
"Shall I treat you with the Ruqya of Allah's Apostle?" Thabit
said, "Yes," Anas recited, "O Allah! The Lord of the people,
the Remover of trouble! (Please) cure (Heal) (this patient),
for You are the Healer. None brings about healing but You; a
healing that will leave behind no ailment." 7.639:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to treat some of his wives by passing his
right hand over the place of ailment and used to say, "O

7.643:
Narrated Abu Qatada: I heard the Prophet saying, "A good dream
is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan. So if anyone of
you sees (in a dream) something he dislikes, when he gets up
he should blow thrice (on his left side) and seek refuge with
Allah from its evil for then it will not harm him."
7.644:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle went to bed, he used to recite
Surat−al−Ikhlas, Surat−al−Falaq and Surat−an−Nas 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.
7.645:
Narrated Abu Sa`id: A group of the companions of Allah's
Apostle proceeded on a journey till they dismounted near one
of the Arab tribes and requested them to entertain them as
their guests, but they (the tribe people) refused to entertain
them. Then the chief of that tribe was bitten by a snake (or
stung by a scorpion) and he was given all sorts of treatment,
but all in vain. Some of them said, "Will you go to the group
(those travelers) who have dismounted near you and see if one
of them has something useful?" They came to them and said, "O
the group! Our leader has been bitten by a snake (or stung by
a scorpion) and we have treated him with everything but
nothing benefited him Has anyone of you anything useful?" One
of them replied, "Yes, by Allah, I know how to treat with a
Ruqya. But. by Allah, we wanted you to receive us as your
guests but you refused. I will not treat your patient with a
Ruqya till you fix for us something as wages." Consequently
they agreed to give those travellers a flock of sheep. The man
went with them (the people of the tribe) and started spitting
(on the bite) and reciting Surat−al−Fatiha till the patient
was healed and started walking as if he had not been sick.
When the tribe people paid them their wages they had agreed
upon, some of them (the Prophet's companions) said,
"Distribute (the sheep)." But the one who treated with the
Ruqya said, "Do not do that till we go to Allah's Apostle and
mention to him what has happened, and see what he will order
us." So they came to Allah's Apostle and mentioned the story
to him and he said, "How do you know that Surat−al−Fatiha is a
Ruqya? You have done the right thing. Divide (what you have
got) and assign for me a share with you."
7.646:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet used to treat some of his wives by passing his
right hand over the place of ailment and used to say, "O Lord
of the people! Remove the difficulty and bring about healing
as You are the Healer. There is no healing but Your Healing, a
healing that will leave no ailment."
7.647:
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet, during his fatal ailment used to blow (on his
hands and pass them) over his body while reciting the
Mu'auwidhat (Surat−an−Nas and Surat−al−Falaq). When his
disease got aggravated, I used to recite them for him and blow
(on his hands) and let him pass his hands over his body
because of its blessing. (Ma`mar asked Ibn Shihab: How did he
use to do Nafth? He said: He used to blow on his hands and
then pass them over his face.)
7.648:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet once came out to us and said,
"Some nations were displayed before me. A prophet would pass
in front of me with one man, and another with two men, and
another with a group of people. and another with nobody with
him. Then I saw a great crowd covering the horizon and I
wished that they were my followers, but it was said to me,
'This is Moses and his followers.' Then it was said to me,
'Look'' I looked and saw a big gathering with a large number
of people covering the horizon. It was said, "Look this way
and that way.' So I saw a big crowd covering the horizon. Then
it was said to me, "These are your followers, and among them
there are 70,000 who will enter Paradise without (being asked
about their) accounts. " Then the people dispersed and the
Prophet did not tell who those 70,000 were. So the companions
of the Prophet started talking about that and some of them
said, "As regards us, we were born in the era of heathenism,
but then we believed in Allah and His Apostle . We think
however, that these (70,000) are our offspring." That talk
reached the Prophet who said, "These (70,000) are the people
who do not draw an evil omen from (birds) and do not get
treated by branding themselves and do not treat with Ruqya,
but put their trust (only) in their Lord." then 'Ukasha bin

and invoked for a long period, and then said, "O `Aisha! Do
you know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I
have asked him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat
near my head and the other near my feet. One of them said to
his companion, "What is the disease of this man?" The other
replied, "He is under the effect of magic.' The first one
asked, 'Who has worked the magic on him?' The other replied,
"Labid bin Al−A'sam.' The first one asked, 'What material did
he use?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hairs stuck to it
and the skin of pollen of a male date palm.' The first one
asked, 'Where is that?' The other replied, '(That is) in the
well of Dharwan;' " So Allah's Apostle along with some of his
companions went there and came back saying, "O `Aisha, the
color of its water is like the infusion of Henna leaves. The
tops of the date−palm trees near it are like the heads of the
devils." I asked. "O Allah's Apostle? Why did you not show it

to let evil spread among the people." Then he ordered that the

know that Allah has instructed me concerning the matter I
asked Him about? Two men came to me and one of them sat near
my head and the other sat near my feet. The one near my head
asked the other. What is wrong with this man?' The latter
replied the is under the effect of magic The first one asked,
Who has worked magic on him?' The other replied Labid bin
Al−A'sam, a man from Bani Zuraiq who was an ally of the Jews
and was a hypocrite.' The first one asked, What material did
he use)?' The other replied, 'A comb and the hair stuck to
it.' The first one asked, 'Where (is that)?' The other
replied. 'In a skin of pollen of a male date palm tree kept
under a stone in the well of Dharwan' '' So the Prophet went
to that well and took out those things and said "That was the
well which was shown to me (in a dream) Its water looked like
the infusion of Henna leaves and its date−palm trees looked
like the heads of devils." The Prophet added, "Then that thing
was taken out' I said (to the Prophet ) "Why do you not treat
yourself with Nashra?" He said, "Allah has cured me; I dislike
to let evil spread among my people."

imagine that he had done something although he had not. One
day while he was with me, he invoked Allah and invoked for a

has instructed me regarding the matter I asked Him about?" I
asked, "What is that, O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "Two men
came to me; one of them sat near my head and the other sat
near my feet. One of them asked his companion, 'What is the
disease of this man?' The other replied, 'He is under the
effect of magic.' The first one asked, 'Who has worked magic
on him?" The other replied, 'Labid bin A'sam, a Jew from the
tribe of Bani Zuraiq.' The (first one asked), 'With what has
it been done?' The other replied, 'With a a comb and the hair
stuck to it and a skin of the pollen of a male datepalm tree.'
The first one asked, 'Where is it?' The other replied, 'In the
well of Dharwan.' Then the Prophet went along with some of his
companions to that well and looked at that and there were date
palms near to it. Then he returned to me and said, 'By Allah
the water of that well was (red) like the infusion of Henna
leaves and its date−palms were like the heads of devils" I
said, O Allah's Apostle! Did you take those materials out of
the pollen skin?" He said, 'No! As for me Allah has healed me
and cured me and I was afraid that (by Showing that to the
people) I would spread evil among them when he ordered that
the well be filled up with earth, and it was filled up with
earth "

They replied, "Yes, O Abal−Qasim! And if we should tell a lie
you will know it as you have known it regarding our father,"
Allah's Apostle then asked, "Who are the people of the (Hell)
Fire?" They replied, "We will remain in the (Hell) Fire for a
while and then you (Muslims) will replace us in it" Allah's
Apostle said to them. ''You will abide in it with ignominy. By
Allah, we shall never replace you in it at all." Then he asked
them again, "If I ask you something, will you tell me the
truth?" They replied, "Yes." He asked. "Have you put the
poison in this roasted sheep?" They replied, "Yes," He asked,

if you were a liar in which case we would be relieved from
you, and if you were a prophet then it would not harm you."

7.558:
Narrated `Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal
got a fever. I entered upon them and asked, "O my father! How
are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever fever attacked Abu
Bakr, he would recite the following poetic verses: 'Everybody
is staying alive among his people, yet death is nearer to him
than his shoe laces." And whenever the fever deserted Bilal,
he would recite (two poetic lines): 'Would that I could stay
overnight in a valley wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir
and Jalil (two kinds of good smelling grass). Would that one
day I would drink of the water of Majinna and would that Shama
and Tafil (two mountains at Mecca) would appear to me.' Then I
came and informed Allah's Apostle about that, whereupon he
said, "O Allah! Make us love Medina as much or more than we
love Mecca. O Allah! Make it healthy and bless its Mudd and Sa
for us, and take away its fever and put it in Al Juhfa."

added "It is for Allah what He takes, and what He gives; and
everything before His sight has a limited period. So she
should hope for Allah's reward and remain patient." She again
sent a message, beseeching him by Allah, to come. So the
Prophet got up. and so did we (and went there). The child was
placed on his lap while his breath was irregular. Tears flowed
from the eyes of the Prophet. Sa`d said to him, "What is this,
O Allah's Apostle?" He said. "This Is Mercy which Allah has
embedded in the hearts of whomever He wished of His slaves.
And Allah does not bestow His Mercy, except on the merciful
among His slaves. (See Hadith No. 373 Vol. 2)
7.560:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet went to visit a sick bedouin.
Whenever the Prophet went to a patient, he used to say to him,
"Don't worry, if Allah will, it will be expiation (for your
sins):" The bedouin said, "You say expiation? No, it is but a
fever that is boiling or harassing an old man and will lead
him to his grave without his will." The Prophet said, "Then,
yes, it is so."

Narrated `Aisha:
During the ailment of the Prophet some people came to visits
him. He led them in prayer while sitting. but they prayed
standing, so he waved to them to sit down. When he had
finished the prayer, he said, "An Imam is to be followed, so
when he bows, you should bow. and when he raises his head, you
should raise yours, and if he prays sitting. you should pray
sitting." Abu `Abdullah said Al−Humaidi said, (The order of )

me. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! I shall leave behind me a good
fortune, but my heir is my only daughter; shall I bequeath two
third of my property to be spent in charity and leave one
third (for my heir)?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath
half and leave half?" He said, "No." I said, "Shall I bequeath
one third and leave two thirds?" He said, "One third is
alright, though even one third is too much." Then he placed
his hand on his forehead and passed it over my face and
`Abdomen and said, "O Allah! Cure Sa`d and complete his
emigration." I feel as if I have been feeling the coldness of
his hand on my liver ever since.
7.564:
Narrated `Abdullah bin Mas`ud: I visited Allah's Apostle while
he was suffering from a high fever. I touched him with my hand

have." I said, "Is it because you will get a double reward?"

down."

and will send him to his grave." On that, the Prophet said,
"Then yes, it is so."
7.567:
Narrated Usama bin Zaid: The Prophet rode a donkey having a
saddle with a Fadakiyya velvet covering. He mounted me behind
him and went to visit Sa`d bin 'Ubada, and that had been
before the battle of Badr. The Prophet proceeded till he
passed by a gathering in which `Abdullah bin Ubai bin Salul
was present, and that had been before `Abdullah embraced
Islam. The gathering comprised of Muslims, polytheists, i.e.,
isolators and Jews. `Abdullah bin Rawaha was also present in
that gathering. When dust raised by the donkey covered the
gathering, `Abdullah bin Ubai covered his nose with his upper
garment and said, "Do not trouble us with dust." The Prophet
greeted them, stopped and dismounted. Then he invited them to
Allah (i.e., to embrace Islam) and recited to them some verses
of the Holy Qur'an. On that, `Abdullah bin Ubai said, "O man !
There is nothing better than what you say if it is true. Do
not trouble us with it in our gathering, but return to your
house, and if somebody comes to you, teach him there." On that
`Abdullah bin Rawaha said, Yes, O Allah's Apostle! Bring your
teachings to our gathering, for we love that." So the Muslims,
the pagans and the Jews started abusing each other till they
were about to fight. The Prophet kept on quietening them till
they became calm. Thereupon the Prophet mounted his animal and
proceeded till he entered upon Sa`d bin Ubada. He said to him
"O Sa`d! Have you not heard what Abu Hubab (i.e., `Abdullah
bin Ubai) said?" Sa`d said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Excuse and
forgive him, for Allah has given you what He has given you.
The people of this town (Medina decided unanimously to crown
him and make him their chief by placing a turban on his head,
but when that was prevented by the Truth which Allah had given
you he (`Abdullah bin Ubai) was grieved out of jealously, and
that was the reason which caused him to behave in the way you
have seen."

that."
7.570:
Narrated Al−Qasim bin Muhammad: `Aisha, (complaining of
headache) said, "Oh, my head"! Allah's Apostle said, "I wish
that had happened while I was still living, for then I would
ask Allah's Forgiveness for you and invoke Allah for you."
Aisha said, "Wa thuklayah! By Allah, I think you want me to
die; and If this should happen, you would spend the last part
of the day sleeping with one of your wives!" The Prophet said,
"Nay, I should say, 'Oh my head!' I felt like sending for Abu
Bakr and his son, and appoint him as my successor lest some
people claimed something or some others wished something, but
then I said (to myself), 'Allah would not allow it to be
otherwise, and the Muslims would prevent it to be otherwise".
7.571:
Narrated Ibn Mas`ud: I visited the Prophet while he was having
a high fever. I touched him an said, "You have a very high

other inconvenience, but that Allah will remove his sins as a
tree sheds its leaves." 7.572:

been aggravated during Hajjat−al−Wada`. I said to him, "You
see how sick I am. I have much property but have no heir
except my only daughter May I give two thirds of my property
in charity?"! He said, "No." I said, "Half of it?" He said,
"No." I said "One third?" He said, "One third is too much, for
to leave your heirs rich is better than to leave them poor,
begging of others. Nothing you spend seeking Allah's pleasure
but you shall get a reward for it, even for what you put in
the mouth of your wife."
7.573:
Narrated Ibn `Abbas: When Allah's Apostle was on his death−bed
and in the house there were some people among whom was `Umar
bin Al−Khattab, the Prophet said, "Come, let me write for you
a statement after which you will not go astray." `Umar said,
"The Prophet is seriously ill and you have the Qur'an; so the
Book of Allah is enough for us." The people present in the
house differed and quarrelled. Some said "Go near so that the
Prophet may write for you a statement after which you will not
go astray," while the others said as `Umar said. When they
caused a hue and cry before the Prophet, Allah's Apostle said,
"Go away!" Narrated 'Ubaidullah: Ibn `Abbas used to say, "It
was very unfortunate that Allah's Apostle was prevented from
writing that statement for them because of their disagreement
and noise." 7.574:

said, "O Allah's Apostle! My nephew is− ill." The Prophet
touched my head with his hand and invoked Allah to bless me.

of his ablution and then stood behind his back and saw "Khatam
An−Nubuwwa" (The Seal of Prophethood) between his shoulders
like a button of a tent.
7.575:
Narrated Anas bin Malik: The Prophet said, "None of you should
wish for death because of a calamity befalling him; but if he
has to wish for death, he should say: "O Allah! Keep me alive
as long as life is better for me, and let me die if death is
better for me.' "
7.576:
Narrated Qais bin Abi Hazim: We went to pay a visit to Khabbab
(who was sick) and he had been branded (cauterized) at seven
places in his body. He said, "Our companions who died (during
the lifetime of the Prophet) left (this world) without having
their rewards reduced through enjoying the pleasures of this
life, but we have got (so much) wealth that we find no way to
spend It except on the construction of buildings Had the
Prophet not forbidden us to wish for death, I would have
wished for it.' We visited him for the second time while he
was building a wall. He said, A Muslim is rewarded (in the
Hereafter) for whatever he spends except for something that he
spends on building."
7.577:
Narrated Abu Huraira: I heard Allah's Apostle saying, "The
good deeds of any person will not make him enter Paradise."
(i.e., None can enter Paradise through his good deeds.) They
(the Prophet's companions) said, 'Not even you, O Allah's
Apostle?' He said, "Not even myself, unless Allah bestows His
favor and mercy on me." So be moderate in your religious deeds
and do the deeds that are within your ability: and none of you
should wish for death, for if he is a good doer, he may
increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil doer, he may
repent to Allah."
7.578:
Narrated `Aisha:
I heard the Prophet , who was resting against me, saying, "O
Allah! Excuse me and bestow Your Mercy on me and let me join
with the highest companions (in Paradise)." See Qur'an ( 4.69)
7.579:
Narrated `Aisha:
Whenever Allah's Apostle paid a visit to a patient, or a
patient was brought to him, he used to invoke Allah, saying,
"Take away the disease, O the Lord of the people! Cure him as
You are the One Who cures. There is no cure but Yours, a cure
that leaves no disease."
7.580:
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah: The Prophet came to me while I
was ill. He performed ablution and threw the remaining water
on me (or said, "Pour it on him) " When I came to my senses I
said, "O Allah's Apostle! I have no son or father to be my
heir, so how will be my inheritance?" Then the Verse of
inheritance was revealed.
7.581:
Narrated `Aisha:
When Allah's Apostle emigrated to Medina, Abu Bakr and Bilal
had a fever. I entered upon them and said, "O my father! How
are you? O Bilal! How are you?" Whenever Abu Bakr got the
fever he used to say, "Everybody is staying alive with his
people, yet death is nearer to him than his shoe laces." And
when fever deserted Bilal, he would recite (two poetic
verses): "Would that I could stay overnight in a valley
wherein I would be surrounded by Idhkhir and Jalil (two kinds
of good smelling grass). Would that one day I could drink of
the water of Majinna, and would that Shama and Tafil (two
mountains at Mecca) would appear to me!" I went to Allah's
Apostle and informed him about that. He said, "O Allah! Make
us love Medina as much or more than we love Mecca, and make it
healthy, and bless its Sa and its Mudd, and take away its
fever and put it in Al−Juhfa." (See Hadith No 558).
