Narrated `Aisha:The Prophet (ﷺ) was vigilant one night and when he reached Medina, he said, "Would that a pious man from my companions guard me tonight!" Suddenly we heard the clatter of arms.

حدثنا اسماعيل بن خليل، اخبرنا علي بن مسهر، اخبرنا يحيى بن سعيد، اخبرنا عبد الله بن عامر بن ربيعة، قال سمعت عايشة رضى الله عنها تقول كان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم سهر فلما قدم المدينة قال " ليت رجلا من اصحابي صالحا يحرسني الليلة ". اذ سمعنا صوت سلاح فقال " من هذا ". فقال انا سعد بن ابي وقاص، جيت لاحرسك. ونام النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Let the slave of Dinar and Dirham, and of Qatifah and Khamisa (i.e. money and luxurious clothes) perish for he is pleased if these things are given to him, and if not, he is displeased

حدثنا يحيى بن يوسف، اخبرنا ابو بكر، عن ابي حصين، عن ابي صالح، عن ابي هريرة رضى الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال " تعس عبد الدينار والدرهم والقطيفة والخميصة، ان اعطي رضي، وان لم يعط لم يرض ". لم يرفعه اسراييل عن ابي حصين

Let such a person perish and relapse, and if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him. Paradise is for him who holds the reins of his horse to strive in Allah's Cause, with his hair unkempt and feet covered with dust: if he is appointed in the vanguard, he is perfectly satisfied with his post of guarding, and if he is appointed in the rearward, he accepts his post with satisfaction; (he is so simple and unambiguous that) if he asks for permission he is not permitted, and if he intercedes, his intercession is not accepted

حدثنا محمد بن عرعرة، حدثنا شعبة، عن يونس بن عبيد، عن ثابت البناني، عن انس بن مالك رضى الله عنه قال صحبت جرير بن عبد الله، فكان يخدمني. وهو اكبر من انس قال جرير اني رايت الانصار يصنعون شييا لا اجد احدا منهم الا اكرمته

Narrated Abu Huraira:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being. If one helps a person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all this will be regarded as charity.

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa'idi:Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "To guard Muslims from infidels in Allah's Cause for one day is better than the world and whatever is on its surface, and a place in Paradise as small as that occupied by the whip of one of you is better than the world and whatever is on its surface; and a morning's or an evening's journey which a slave (person) travels in Allah's Cause is better than the world and whatever is on its surface

Narrated Anas bin Malik:The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Talha, "Choose one of your boy servants to serve me in my expedition to Khaibar." So, Abu Talha took me letting me ride behind him while I was a boy nearing the age of puberty. I used to serve Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men." Then we reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called Sa`d-As-Sahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Hais (a kind of dish) was served on a small leather sheet. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told me to call those who were around me. So, that was the marriage banquet of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I saw Allah's Apostle folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to make a wide space for Safiya (to sit on behind him) He sat beside his camel letting his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the camel. Then, we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain) and said, "This is a mountain which loves us and is loved by us." Then he looked at Medina and said, "O Allah! I make the area between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd and Sa (i.e. measures)
