Umar saw a silken cloak over a man for sale and requested the Prophet (SAW) to buy it in order to wear it on Fridays and while meeting delegates. The Prophet (SAW) said, "This is worn by the one who will have no share in the Hereafter." Later on Allah's Apostle (SAW) got some silken cloaks similar to that one, and he sent one to 'Umar. 'Umar said to the Prophet (SAW) "How can I wear it, while you said about it what you said?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "I have not given it to you to wear, but to sell or to give to someone else." So, 'Umar sent it to his brother at Makkah before he (his brother) embraced Islam.

My mother came to me during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (SAW) and she was a Mushrikah (polytheist, pagan, idolatress). I said to Allah's Apostle (SAW) (seeking his verdict), "My mother has come to me and she desires to receive a reward from me, shall I keep good relations with her?" The Prophet (SAW) said, "Yes, keep good relation with her."

I went to Aisha and she was wearing a coarse dress costing five Dirhams. Aisha said, "Look up and see my slave-girl who refuses to wear it in the house though during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (SAW) I had a similar dress which no woman desiring to appear elegant (before her husband) failed to borrow from me."

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "What a good Maniha (the she-camel which has recently given birth and which gives profuse milk) is, and (what a good Maniha) (the sheep which gives profuse milk, a bowl in the morning and another in the evening) is!" Narrated Malik: Maniha is a good deed of charity.

Anas bin Malik said, "When the emigrants came Medina, they had nothing whereas the Ansar had land and property. The Ansar gave them their land on condition that the emigrants would give them half the yearly yield and work on the land and provide the necessaries for cultivation." His (i.e. Anas's mother who was also the mother of 'bdullah bin Abu Talha, gave some date-palms to Allah' Apostle (SAW) who gave them to his freed slave-girl (Um Aiman) who was also the mother of Usama bin Zaid. When the Prophet (SAW) finished from the fighting against the people of Khaibar and returned to Medina, the emigrants returned to the Ansar the fruit gifts which the Ansar had given them. The Prophet (SAW) also returned to Anas's mother the date-pallms. Allah's Apostle (SAW) gave Um Aiman other trees from his garden in lieu of the old gift.

That Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "There are forty virtuous deeds and the best of them is the Maniha of a she-goat, and anyone who does one of these virtuous deeds hoping for Allah's reward with firm confidence that he will get it, then Allah will make him enter Paradise because of it." Hassan (a sub-narrator) said, "We tried to count those good deeds below the Maniha; we mentioned replying to the sneezer, removing harmful things from the road, etc., but we failed to count even fifteen."

Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "The Prophet (SAW) Ibrahim (Abraham) migrated with Sarah. The people (of the town where they migrated) gave her Ajar (i.e. Hajar). Sarah returned and said to Ibrahim (Abraham), "Do you know that Allah has humiliated that disbeliever and he has given a slave-girl for my service?"

About the story of Aisha and their narrations were similar attesting each other, when the liars said what they invented about Aisha, and the Divine Inspiration was delayed, Allah's Apostle (SAW) sent for Ali and Usama to consult them in divorcing his wife (i.e. Aisha). Usama said, "Keep your wife, as we know nothing about her except good." Barira said, "I cannot accuse her of any defect except that she is still a young girl who sleeps, neglecting her family's dough which the domestic goats come to eat (i.e. she was too simple minded to deceive her husband)." Allah's Apostle (SAW) said, "Who can help me to take revenge over the man who has harmed me by defaming the reputation of my family? By Allah, I have not known about my family anything except good, and they mentioned (i.e. accused) a man about whom I did not know anything except good."

Allah's Apostle (SAW) and Ubai bin Kab Al-Ansari went to the garden where Ibn Saiyyad used to live. When Allah's Apostle (SAW) entered (the garden), he (i.e. Allah's Apostle (SAW)) started hiding himself behind the date palms as he wanted to hear secretly the talk of Ibn Saiyyad before the latter saw him. Ibn Saiyyad wrapped with a soft decorated sheet was lying on his bed murmuring. Ibn Saiyyad's mother saw the Prophet (SAW) hiding behind the stems of the date-palms. She addressed Ibn Saiyyad saying, "O Saf, this is Muhammad." Hearing that Ibn Saiyyad stopped murmuring (or got cautious), the Prophet (SAW) said, "If she had left him undisturbed, he would have revealed his reality." (See Hadith No. 290, Vol 4 for details)

People were (sometimes) judged by the revealing of a Divine Inspiration during the lifetime of Allah's Apostle (SAW) but now there is no longer any more (new revelation). Now we judge you by the deeds you practice publicly, so we will trust and favour the one who does good deeds in front of us, and we will not call him to account about what he is really doing in secret, for Allah will judge him for that; but we will not trust or believe the one who presents to us with an evil deed even if he claims that his intentions were good.
