We were in our country when flags and banners were raised. I said: What is this?
The (the people) said: This is the banner of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). So I
came to him. He was (sitting) under a tree. A sheet of cloth was spread for him
and he was sitting on it. His Companions were gathered around him. I sat with
them.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) mentioned illness and said: When a believer is
afflicted by illness and Allah cures him of it, it serves as an atonement for
his previous sins and a warning to him for the future.
But when a hypocrite becomes ill and is then cured, he is like a camel which has
been tethered and then let loose by its owners, but does not know why they
tethered it and why they let it loose.
A man from among those around him asked: Messenger of Allah, what are illnesses?
I swear by Allah, I never fell ill.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Get up and leave us. You do not belong to our
number. When we were with him, a man came to him. He had a sheet of cloth and
something in his hand.
He turned his attention to him and said: Messenger of Allah, when I saw you, I
turned towards you. I saw a group of trees and heard the sound of fledglings. I
took them and put them in my garment. Their mother then came and began to hover
round my head. I showed them to her, and she fell on them. I wrapped them with
my garment. They are now with me.
He said: Put them away from you. So I put them away, but their mother stayed
with them.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to his companions: Are you surprised at the
affection of the mother for her young?
They said: Yes, Messenger of Allah. He said: I swear by Him Who has sent me with
the Truth, Allah is more affectionate to His servants than a mother to her young
ones. Take them back put them and where you took them from when their mother
should have been with them. So he took them back.

A daughter of Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent him message while I and Sa'd were with
him and I think Ubayy was also there: My son or daughter (the narrator is
doubtful) is dying, so come to us. He sent her greeting, saying at the same
time: Say! What Allah has been taken belongs to Him, what He has given (belongs
to Him), and He has appointed time for everything. She then sent a message
adjuring him (to come to her). So he came to her and the child who was on the
point of death was placed in the hearts of those whom He wished. Allah shows
compassion only to those of His servants who are compassionate.

sat down.
Al-Ala' ibn Ziyad asked: AbuHamzah, did the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say the
funeral prayer over the dead as you have done, uttering four takbirs (Allah is
Most Great) over her, and standing opposite the head of a man and the hips of a
woman?
He replied: Yes. He asked: AbuHamzah, did you fight with the Messenger of Allah?
He replied: Yes. I fought with him in the battle of Hunayn. The polytheists came
out and invaded us so severely that we saw our horses behind our backs. Among
the people (i.e. the unbelievers) there was a man who was attacking us, and
striking and wounding us (with his sword). Allah then defeated them. They were
then brought and began to take the oath of allegiance to him for Islam.
A man from among the companions of the Prophet (ﷺ) said: I make a vow to myself
that if Allah brings the man who was striking us (with his sword) that day, I
shall behead him. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) kept silent and the man was brought
(as a captive).
When he saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), he said: Messenger of Allah, I have
repented to Allah. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stopped (for a while) receiving
his oath of allegiance, so that the other man might fulfil his vow. But the man
began to wait for the order of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for his murder. He was
afraid of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) to kill him. When the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) saw that he did not do anything, he received his oath of allegiance. The man
said: Messenger of Allah, what about my vow? He said: I stopped (receiving his
oath of allegiance) today so that you might fulfil your vow. He said: Messenger
of Allah, why did you not give any signal to me? The Prophet (ﷺ) said: It is not
worthy of a Prophet to give a signal.
AbuGhalib said: I asked (the people) about Anas standing opposite the hips of a
woman. They told me that this practice was due to the fact that (in the days of
the Prophet) there were no cupola-shaped structures over the biers of women. So
the imam used to stand opposite the hips of a woman to hide her from the people.
Abu Dawud said: The saying of the Prophet (ﷺ) "I have been commanded to fight
against the people until they say: There is no god bu Allah" abrogated this
tradition of fulfilling the vow by his remark: "I have repented"

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) visited his mother's grave and wept and cause those
around him to weep. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) then said: I asked my Lord's
permission to pray for forgiveness for her, but I was not allowed. I then asked
His permission to visit her grave, and I was allowed. So visit graves, for they
make one mindful of death.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ الأَنْبَارِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ
عُبَيْدٍ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي
هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ أَتَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَبْرَ أُمِّهِ
فَبَكَى وَأَبْكَى مَنْ حَوْلَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم "
اسْتَأْذَنْتُ رَبِّي تَعَالَى عَلَى أَنْ أَسْتَغْفِرَ لَهَا فَلَمْ يُؤْذَنْ لِي
فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ أَنْ أَزُورَ قَبْرَهَا فَأُذِنَ لِي فَزُورُوا الْقُبُورَ
فَإِنَّهَا تُذَكِّرُ بِالْمَوْتِ " .

To the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was brought man wearing ihram who was thrown by
his she-camel and has his neck broken and had died. He then said: Shroud him in
his two garments, was him with water and lotus leaves, but do not cover his
head, for he will be raised on the Day of Resurrection saying the talbiyah.
Abu Dawud said: I heard Ahmad b. Hanbal say: There are five rules of the law
(sunan) in this tradition: "Shroud him in his two garment," that is, the dead
should be shrouded in his two garments. "Wash him with water and lotus leaves,"
that is, washing all times should be with lotus leaves. Do not bring any perfume
near him. The shroud will be made from the property (of the dead).
