When he returned he said, This (i.e. the Zakat) is for you and this has been given to my as a present. The Prophet said, Why hadn't he stayed in his father's or mother's house to see whether he would be given presents or not?

The Prophet then raised his hands till we saw the whiteness of his armpits, and he said thrice, O Allah! Haven't I conveyed Your Message (to them)?

He said, I had a sexual intercourse with my wife during Ramadan (while fasting). The Prophet asked him, Can you manumit a slave? He replied in the negative.
