Narrated `Amr bin Al-`As: That he heard Allah's Apostle saying, If a judge gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is correct (i.e. agrees with Allah and His Apostle's verdict) he will receive a double reward, and if he gives a verdict according to the best of his knowledge and his verdict is wrong, (i.e. against that of Allah and His Apostle) even then he will get a reward .
Read More..Narrated 'Ubai bin `Umar: Abu Musa asked permission to enter upon `Umar, but seeing that he was busy, he went away. `Umar then said, Didn't I hear the voice of `Abdullah bin Qais? Allow him to come in. He was called in and `Umar said to him, What made you do what you did. He replied, We have been instructed thus by the Prophet `Umar said, Bring proof (witness) for this, other wise I will do so-and-so to you. Then `Abdullah bin Qais went to a gathering of the Ansar who then said, None but the youngest of us will give the witness for it. So Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri got up and said, We used to be instructed thus (by the Prophet). `Umar said, This tradition of the Prophet remained hidden from me. Business in the market kept me busy.
Read More..Narrated Al-A'raj: Abu Huraira said, You people claim that Abu Huraira narrates many narrations of Allah's Apostle. (Anyhow) with Allah will be our appointment. I was a poor man, and used to stick to Allah's Apostle contented with what will fill my stomach, and the Muhajirin (emigrants) used to be busy trading in the markets, and the Ansar used to be busy looking after their properties. One-day I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Who will spread his Rida' (a garment covering the upper part of the body) till I finished my speech and then fold it, (i.e. wrap it over your body), in which case he will never forget anything he had heard from me. So I spread my garment which I was wearing; and by Him Who sent Muhammad with the Truth, ever since, I have never forgotten whatever I heard from him (the Prophet) (See, Hadith No. 119, Vol. 1)

Jabir said, I have heard `Umar swearing by Allah regarding this matter in the presence of the Prophet and the Prophet did not disapprove of it.
Read More..Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, Horses may be used for three purposes: For a man they may be a source of reward (in the Hereafter); for another, a means of protection; and for another, a source of sin. The man for whom they are a source of reward, is the one who keeps them for Allah's Cause and ties them with long ropes and lets them graze in a pasture or garden. Whatever those long ropes allow them to eat of that pasture or garden, will be written as good deeds for him and if they break their ropes and run one or two rounds, then all their footsteps and dung will be written as good deeds for him, and if they pass a river and drink from it though he has had no intention of watering them, even then, that will be written as good deeds for him. So such horses are a source of reward for that man. For the man who keeps horses for his livelihood in order not to ask others for help or beg his bread, and at the same time he does not forget Allah's right of what he earns through them and of their backs (that he presents it to be used in Allah's Cause), such horses are a shelter for him (from poverty). For the man who keeps them just out of pride and for showing off, they are a source of sin. Then Allah's Apostle was asked about donkeys. He said, Allah has not revealed anything to me regarding them except this comprehensive Verse: Then anyone who has done good, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it, and any one who has done evil, equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant) shall see it. (99.7-8)

The Prophet said, Clean yourself She said again, How shall I clean myself, O Allah's Apostle? The Prophet said, Clean yourself with it. Then I knew what Allah's Apostle meant. So I pulled her aside and explained it to her.
