Narrated Abu Hurairah: While the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was returning from Khaibar he traveled during the night until he became sleepy and he sat down to rest. Then he said: 'O Bilal! Stand guard for us for the night.' He said: 'So Bilal performed Salat, then he leaned against his mount facing the direction of (dawn awaiting) Fajr. His eyes overcame him until he slept, and not one of them awoke. The first of them to awaken was the Prophet (ﷺ) who said: 'O Bilal!' Bilal said: 'May my father be ransomed for you O Messenger of Allah! I was overtaken just as you were overtaken.' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'Move out!' Then he kneeled to perform Wudu and to announce the standing for the Salat, then he performed Salat the same as he would when not traveling. Then he said: 'And establish the Salat for My rememberance (20:14).'

Read More..Narrated 'Aishah: that a man came and sat in front of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I have two slaves who lie to me, deceive me, and disobey me, and I scold them and hit them. So what is my case because of them? He said: The extent to which they betrayed you, disobeyed you and lied to you will be measured against how much you punish them.

If your punishing them is above their sin, some of your rewards will be taken from you and given to them. So the man left, and began weeping and crying aloud. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: You should read what Allah said in His Book: 'And We shall set up the Balances of justice on the Day of Resurrection, then none will be dealt with unjustly in anything...' to the rest of the Ayah (21:47). So the man said: By Allah, O Messenger of Allah! I see nothing better for myself, than me parting with them. Bear witness that they are all free.

The parable of you and the other nations is that you are like a mark on the foreleg of an animal, or a mole on the flank of a camel.'
