Anas b. Malik (Allah be pleased with him) reported: When Allah’s
Messenger (ﷺ) had thrown pebbles at the Jamra and had sacrificed the animal,
he turned (the right side) of his head towards the barber, and i. e shaved it.
He then called Abu Talha al-Ansari and gave it to him. He then turned his left
side and asked him (the barber) to shave. And he (the barber) shaved. and gave it to Abu Talha and told him to
distribute it amongst the people. Book 007, Number 2994: Sahih Muslim
Narrated Abu Hazim:Sahl bin Sa’d said that a woman brought a Burda
(sheet) to the Prophet. Sahl asked the people, “Do you know what is a
Burda?” The people replied, “It is a ‘Shamla’, a sheet with a
fringe.” That woman said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I have brought it so
that you may wear it.” So the Prophet took it because he was in need of it
and wore it. A man among his companions, seeing him wearing it, said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! Please give it to me to wear.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Yes.” (and gave him that sheet). When the
Prophet left, the man was blamed by his companions who said, “It was not
nice on your part to ask the Prophet for it while you know that he took it
because he was in need of it, and you also know that he (the Prophet) never turns
down anybody’s request that he might be asked for.” That man said, “I just wanted to have its blessings as
the Prophet had put it on, so l hoped that I might be shrouded in it.” Volume
8, Book 73, Number 62: Sahih Bukhari
When Alī’s mother, Fātimah bint
Asad died, her funeral rites were meticulously observed. After the bath, when
it was time to dress her up in a shirt, the Prophet (ﷺ) handed
his own shirt to the women and commanded them to dress her up in that shirt and
then wrap the coffin round it. Tabarānī narrated it in al-Mu‘jam-ul-kabīr (24:351-2#871) and
al-Mu‘jam-ul-awsat (1:152-3#191),Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalānī in al-Isābah fī

When the Prophet’s daughter,
Zaynab or Umm Kalthūm died, he blessed her with his own trouser-sash to wrap
the coffin. Bukhārī narrated it in his as-Sahīh, book of janā’iz (funerals)

Part of the hadith-Urwa then started looking at the Companions of
the Prophet. By Allah, whenever Allah’s
Apostle spat, the spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the
Prophet’s companions) who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them
they would carry his orders immediately; if he performed ablution, they would
struggle to take the remaining water; and when they spoke to him, they would
lower their voices and would not look at his face constantly out of respect.
Urwa returned to his people and said, “O people! By Allah, I have been to
the kings and to Caesar, Khosrau and An-Najashi, yet I have never seen any of them respected by his courtiers as much as
Muhammad is respected by his companions. By Allah, if he spat, the
spittle would fall in the hand of one of them (i.e. the Prophet’s companions)
who would rub it on his face and skin; if he ordered them, they would carry out
his order immediately; if he performed ablution, they would struggle to take the
remaining water; and when they spoke, they would lower their voices and would
not look at his face constantly out of respect.” Volume 3, Book 50, Number
891: Sahih Bukhari
Asmā’ bint Abū Bakr says:I (while in Makkah) was pregnant with
‘Abdullāh bin Zubayr (that is, he was in my belly). The period of pregnancy was
near completion that I set out for Medina. I got down at Qubā’ and gave birth
to my son (‘Abdullāh bin Zubayr) at Qubā’. Then I took him over to the Holy
Prophet (ﷺ) and placed him in his lap. He sent for a date and chewed it. Then he put his saliva into the child’s
mouth, and the first thing that entered his stomach was the Prophet’s saliva.
Then he applied the date to his palate, prayed for him and offered his
congratulations,Bukhārī narrated it in his as-Sahīh, book of
fadā’il-us-sahābah (virtues of the Companions) ch.74 (3:1422-3#3697), b. of
‘aqīqah, ch.1 (5:2081#5152),Muslim, as-Sahīh, b.
of ādāb (good manners) ch.5 (3:1691#2146),Ahmad bin Hambal in Musnad
(6:93,347).
Anas narrates: When ‘Abdullāh, the son
of Abū Talhah al-Ansārī, was born, I brought him to the Holy Prophet (ﷺ). At that
time, he was wearing a shawl and rubbing oil on to a camel. He said: have you
got any dates? I replied, yes. Then I gave him a few dates, he munched them with
his teeth and then he put it into the child’s mouth by opening it. The child
started sucking it. He said: the Muslims of Medina love the dates and then he
named the child as ‘Abdullāh. Muslim
narrated it in his as-Sahīh, book of ādāb (good manners) ch.5
(3:1689#2144),Ahmad bin Hambal in Musnad (3:175,196,212)
‘Ā’ishah relates that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) used to mention in the context of patients:In the
name of Allah, with the help of the soil of our land and the saliva from the
mouth of some of us, our patient shall recover by the will of our God. Bukhārī
transmitted it in his as-Sahīh, book of tibb (medicine) ch.37 (5:2168#5413)
Muslim, as-Sahīh, b. of salām (peace) ch.21 (4:1724#2194)Ahmad bin Hambal,
Musnad (6:93)Hākim, al-Mustadrak (4:412)Baghawī in Sharh-us-sunnah
(5:224-5#1414).
Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalānī’s
comments on the tradition are as follows:“The Prophet’s words “from the saliva
of some of us” prove that he used to apply his saliva while using a protective
invocation (ruqyah) over something. Nawawī says: ‘the tradition means that the
Holy Prophet (ﷺ) put his saliva on
his forefinger and rubbed it on to the soil, then he froze it and applied it to
the patient or the wound and while applying it, he recited the words of the
tradition.’ Qurtubīsays: ‘this tradition proves that it is valid to treat any
disease by using a protective invocation over it, and it also makes it clear
that it was a common and popular practice among them.’ He is also of the
opinion that the Prophet’s placing of his forefinger on the soil and sprinkling
it with earth justifies its relevance while blowing protective invocation
through it… And, surely, it describes the mode of receiving blessings through
the attributes of the Lord and the relics of the Prophet (ﷺ). Then blowing breath laden with protective
invocation into something and a divinely inspired sense of purpose and
determination have amazing implications which simply stun human reason. Ibn Hajar ‘Asqalānī, Fath-ul-bārī (10:208)
