Narrated An-Nu`man bin Bashir: The Prophet said, The example of the person abiding by Allah's orders and limits (or the one who abides by the limits and regulations prescribed by Allah) in comparison to the one who do wrong and violate Allah's limits and orders is like the example of people drawing lots for seats in a boat. Some of them got seats in the upper part while the others in the lower part ; those in the, lower part have to pass by those in the upper one to get water, and that troubled the latter. One of them (i.e. the people in the lower part) took an ax and started making a hole in the bottom of the boat. The people of the upper part came and asked him, (saying), 'What is wrong with you?' He replied, You have been troubled much by my (coming up to you), and I have to get water.' Now if they prevent him from doing that they will save him and themselves, but if they leave him (to do what he wants), they will destroy him and themselves.
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصِ بْنِ غِيَاثٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنِي الشَّعْبِيُّ ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا ، يَقُولُ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : مَثَلُ الْمُدْهِنِ فِي حُدُودِ اللَّهِ وَالْوَاقِعِ فِيهَا ، مَثَلُ قَوْمٍ اسْتَهَمُوا سَفِينَةً ، فَصَارَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي أَسْفَلِهَا وَصَارَ بَعْضُهُمْ فِي أَعْلَاهَا ، فَكَانَ الَّذِي فِي أَسْفَلِهَا يَمُرُّونَ بِالْمَاءِ عَلَى الَّذِينَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا فَتَأَذَّوْا بِهِ ، فَأَخَذَ فَأْسًا ، فَجَعَلَ يَنْقُرُ أَسْفَلَ السَّفِينَةِ ، فَأَتَوْهُ ، فَقَالُوا : مَا لَكَ ؟ قَالَ : تَأَذَّيْتُمْ بِي ، وَلَا بُدَّ لِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ ، فَإِنْ أَخَذُوا عَلَى يَدَيْهِ أَنْجَوْهُ وَنَجَّوْا أَنْفُسَهُمْ ، وَإِنْ تَرَكُوهُ أَهْلَكُوهُ وَأَهْلَكُوا أَنْفُسَهُمْ .
ہم سے عمر بن حفص بن غیاث نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے ہمارے والد نے بیان کیا، کہا ہم سے اعمش نے، کہا کہ ہم سے شعبی نے بیان کیا، انہوں نے نعمان بن بشیر رضی اللہ عنہما سے سنا، وہ کہتے تھے کہ   نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا ”اللہ کی حدود میں سستی برتنے والے اور اس میں مبتلا ہو جانے والے کی مثال ایک ایسی قوم کی سی ہے جس نے ایک کشتی ( پر سفر کرنے کے لیے جگہ کے بارے میں ) قرعہ اندازی کی۔ پھر نتیجے میں کچھ لوگ نیچے سوار ہوئے اور کچھ اوپر۔ نیچے کے لوگ پانی لے کر اوپر کی منزل سے گزرتے تھے اور اس سے اوپر والوں کو تکلیف ہوتی تھی۔ اس خیال سے نیچے والا ایک آدمی کلہاڑی سے کشتی کا نیچے کا حصہ کاٹنے لگا ( تاکہ نیچے ہی سمندر سے پانی لے لیا کرے ) اب اوپر والے آئے اور کہنے لگے کہ یہ کیا کر رہے ہو؟ اس نے کہا کہ تم لوگوں کو ( میرے اوپر آنے جانے سے ) تکلیف ہوتی تھی اور میرے لیے بھی پانی ضروری تھا۔ اب اگر انہوں نے نیچے والے کا ہاتھ پکڑ لیا تو انہیں بھی نجات دی اور خود بھی نجات پائی۔ لیکن اگر اسے یوں ہی چھوڑ دیا تو انہیں بھی ہلاک کیا اور خود بھی ہلاک ہو گئے۔“

sahih-bukhari-2687

Narrated Um Al-Ala: That when the Ansar drew lots as to which of the emigrants should dwell with which of the Ansar, the name of `Uthman bin Mazun came out (to be in their lot). Um Al-Ala further said, Uthman stayed with us, and we nursed him when he got sick, but he died. We shrouded him in his clothes, and Allah's Apostle came to our house and I said, (addressing the dead `Uthman), 'O Abu As-Sa'ib! May Allah be merciful to you. I testify that Allah has blessed you.' The Prophet said to me, How do you know that Allah has blessed him? I replied, 'I do not know O Allah's Apostle! May my parents be sacrificed for you.' Allah's Apostle said, 'As regards `Uthman, by Allah he has died and I really wish him every good, yet, by Allah, although I am Allah's Apostle, I do not know what will be done to him.' Um Al- Ala added, 'By Allah I shall never attest the piety of anybody after him. And what Allah's Apostles said made me sad. Um Al-Ala further said, Once I slept and saw in a dream, a flowing stream for `Uthman. So I went to Allah's Apostle and told him about it, he said, 'That is (the symbol of) his deeds.

Narrated Aisha: Whenever Allah's Apostle intended to go on a journey, he used to draw lots among his wives and would take with him the one on whom the lot fell.

sahih-bukhari-2689

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, If the people knew what is the reward of making the call (for the prayer) and (of being in) the first row (in the prayer), and if they found no other way to get this privilege except by casting lots, they would certainly cast lots for it. If they knew the reward of the noon prayer, they would race for it, and if they knew the reward of the morning (i.e. Fajr) and `Isha prayers, they would present themselves for the prayer even if they had to crawl to reach there.

sahih-bukhari-2690

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d: There was a dispute amongst the people of the tribe of Bani `Amr bin `Auf. The Prophet went to them along with some of his companions in order to make peace between them. The time for the prayer became due but the Prophet did not turn up; Bilal pronounced the Adhan (i.e. call) for the prayer but the Prophet did not turn up, so Bilal went to Abu Bakr and said, The time for the prayer is due and the Prophet i detained, would you lead the people in the prayer? Abu Bakr replied, Yes, you wish. So, Bilal pronounced the Iqama of the prayer and Abu Bakr went ahead (to lead the prayer), but the Prophet came walking among the rows till he joined the first row. The people started clapping and they clapped too much, and Abu Bakr used not to look hither and thither in the prayer, but he turned round and saw the Prophet standing behind him. The Prophet beckoned him with his hand to keep on praying where he was. Abu Bakr raised his hand and praised Allah and then retreated till he came in the (first) row, and the Prophet went ahead and lead the people in the prayer. When the Prophet finished the prayer, he turned towards the people and said, O people! When something happens to you during the prayer, you start clapping. Really clapping is (permissible) for women only. If something happens to one of you in his prayer, he should say: 'Subhan Allah', (Glorified be Allah), for whoever hears him (saying so) will direct his attention towards him. O Abu Bakr! What prevented you from leading the people in the prayer when I beckoned to you (to continue)? Abu Bakr replied, It did not befit the son of Abu Quhafa to lead the prayer in front of the Prophet.

sahih-bukhari-2691

Narrated Anas: It was said to the Prophet Would that you see `Abdullah bin Ubai. So, the Prophet went to him, riding a donkey, and the Muslims accompanied him, walking on salty barren land. When the Prophet reached `Abdullah bin Ubai, the latter said, Keep away from me! By Allah, the bad smell of your donkey has harmed me. On that an Ansari man said (to `Abdullah), By Allah! The smell of the donkey of Allah's Apostle is better than your smell. On that a man from `Abdullah's tribe got angry for `Abdullah's sake, and the two men abused each other which caused the friends of the two men to get angry, and the two groups started fighting with sticks, shoes and hands. We were informed that the following Divine Verse was revealed (in this concern):-- And if two groups of Believers fall to fighting then, make peace between them. (49.9)
