Jabir reported that Umm Malik used to send clarified butter in a small skin to the Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). Her sons would come to her and ask for seasoning when they had nothing with them (in the form of condiments) and she would go to that (skin) in which she offered (clarified butter) to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), and she would find in that clarified butter and it kept providing her with seasoning for her household until she had (completely) squeezed it. She came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and (informed him about it). Thereupon, he (the Holy Prophet) said: Did you squeeze it? She said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If you had left it in that very state, it would have kept on provid- ing you (the clarified butter) on end.

And he gave him half a wasq of barley, and the person and his wife and their guests kept on making use of it (as a food) until he weighed it (in order to find out the actual quantity, and it was no more). He came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) (and informed him about it). He said: Had you not weighed it, you would be eating out of it and it would have remained intact for you.

He offered the noon and afternoon prayers together and the sunset and night prayers together and on the other day he deferred the prayers; he then came out and offered the noon and afternoon prayers together. He then went in and (later on) came out and then after that offered the sunset and night prayers together and then said: God willing, you would reach by tomorrow the fountain of Tabuk and you should not come to that until it is dawn, and he who amongst you happens to go there should not touch its water until I come. We came to that and two persons (amongst) us reached that fountain ahead of us. It was a thin flow of water like the shoelace. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked them whether they had touched the water. They said: Yes. Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) scolded them, and he said to them what he had to say by the will of God. The people then took water of the fountain in their palms until it became somewhat significant and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) washed his hands and his face too in it, and then, took it again in that (fountain) and there gushed forth abundant water from that fountain, until all the people drank to their fill. He then said: Mu'adh, it is hoped that if you live long you would see its water irrigating well the gardens.

Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said. Make an assessment (of the price of its fruit). And Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) also made an assessment and it was ten wasqs. He asked that lady (to calculate the amount) until they would, God willing, come back to her. So we proceeded on until we came to Tabuk and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: The violent storm will overtake you during the night, so none amongst you should stand up and he who has a camel with him should hobble it firmly. A violent storm blew and a person who had stood up was carried away by the storm and thrown between the mountains of Tayy. Then the messenger of the son of al 'Alma', the ruler of Aila, came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with a letter and a gift of a white mule. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) wrote him (the reply) and presented him a cloak. We came back until we halted in the Wadi al-Qura. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) asked that lady about her garden and the price of the fruits in that. She said: Ten wasqs. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: I am going to depart, and he who amongst you wishes may depart with me but he who wants to stay may stay. We resumed the journey until we came to the outskirts of Medina. (It was at this time) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: This is Taba, this is Uhud, that is a mountain which loves us and we love it, and then said: The best amongst the houses of the Ansar is the house of Bani Najjar. Then the house of Bani Abd al-Ashhal, then the house of Bani Abd al-Harith b. Khazraj, then the house of Bani Sa'ida, and there is goodness in all the houses of the Ansar. Said b. Ubada came to us and Abu Usaid said to him: Did you not see that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) has declared the houses of the Ansar good and he has kept us at the end. Said met Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Allah's Messenger, you have declared the house of the Ansar as good and have kept us at the end, whereupon he said: Is it not enough for you that you have been counted amongst the good.

Abdullah reported: We went along with Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) on an expedition towards Najd and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) found us in a valley abounding in thorny trees. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) stayed for rest under a tree and he suspended his sword by one of its branches under which he was taking rest. The persons scattered in the valley and they also began to take rest under the shade of trees, and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: A person came to me while I was asleep and he took hold of the sword. I woke up and found him standing upon my head and I had hardly become alert (and saw) that the sword was in his hand. And he said: Who can protect you from me? I said: Allah. He again said: Who can protect you from me? I said: Allah. He put his sword in the sheath (and you can see) this man sitting here. Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) did not in any way touch him.
