Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) Abstaining from Gheebah – Part Eleven
Written by user2Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) was extremely cautious in regard to gheebah (backbiting). Hence, Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) once mentioned, “From the time I learnt that gheebah is haraam, I never made the gheebah of any person.”
It was on account of Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) exercising a very high level of caution in regard to gheebah that he once said, “I have hope that when I meet Allah Ta‘ala, He will not take me to task for making any person’s gheebah.”
The Waleemah of Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) – Part Fifteen
Written by user2After the marriage of Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said to Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), “O ‘Ali! The groom should host a waleemah.” Hearing this, Hazrat Sa’d (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) immediately gave Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) a sheep to prepare for the waleemah, as Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) did not possess any wealth.
Other Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) of the Ansaar also gathered some maize and gave it to Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to prepare for his waleemah.
According to the narration of Hazrat Jaabir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) also ate dates and raisins at the waleemah of Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu).

The Boycott of the Banu Haashim and Writing the Oppressive Resolution – Part Four
Written by user2Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had informed his uncle, Abu Taalib, that besides the name of Allah Ta‘ala, ants had eaten the entire document on which the oppressive resolution was written. Accordingly, Abu Taalib came to the Quraish and informed them of what Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had mentioned.
Abu Taalib then made a proposal saying that if the claim of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) was proven to be true, then the disbelievers should cease their persecution. On the contrary, if his claim is proven to be false, then Abu Taalib and the Banu Haashim would hand Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) over to the disbelievers. The disbelievers agreed to this proposal and sent for the document to be brought.
The Respect of Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) for the Musjid – Part Ten
Written by user2Muhammed bin Mansoor (rahimahullah) narrates the following incident:
On one occasion, while we were in the musjid, seated in the gathering of Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah), a certain person in the musjid removed some dirt from his beard and threw it on the ground. I looked towards Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) to see whether he had noticed what the person had done. I observed that Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) looked at the dirt on the floor and thereafter shifted his gaze towards the students in the gathering.
Hazrat Haatim Asamm Balkhi (rahimahullah) was a pious saint who secluded himself in a room for thirty years (i.e he only left the room to perform salaah in the musjid and fulfil other deeni obligations). He did not speak to anyone except when it was absolutely necessary.
When he visited the holy grave of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in Madinah Munawwarah, he said, “O Allah! We have come to the grave of Your beloved (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! Do not send us away from here without being forgiven!”

Written by user2After Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) performed the nikaah of Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) told Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) to both wait for him at their home.
The Boycott of the Banu Haashim and Writing the Oppressive Resolution – Part Three
Written by user2On account of the difficulties and hardships that the Muslims were being subjected to, some of the disbelievers, who were compassionate at heart, thought of breaking this resolution to boycott the Banu Haashim.
The first person who had this thought was Hishaam bin ‘Amr. He thought to himself, “How shameful it is that we are eating and drinking to our fill, while our relatives are longing for a little grain and are spending their days in starvation!” Due to the pity that he felt, he would go during the night and leave a camel-load of grain at the entrance of the valley of Abu Taalib.
The Devotion of Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) in Salaah – Part Nine
Written by user2Muhammed bin Abi Haatim (rahimahullah) mentions:
On one occasion, Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) was invited to the orchard of one of his companions. Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) accepted the invitation and proceeded to the orchard. Thereafter, while at the orchard, Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) began to perform nafl salaah. After completing his nafl salaah, Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) lifted the hem of his kurta and said to one of his companions, “See if there is anything inside my kurta.”
The Marriage of Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) – Part Thirteen
Written by user2The nikaah of Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) occurred in the second year after Hijrah.
Regarding this nikaah, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) had mentioned, “Indeed Allah Ta‘ala had instructed me to marry Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) to Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu).”
The Boycott of the Banu Haashim and Writing the Oppressive Resolution – Part Two
Written by user2The Banu Haashim remained under boycott for three continuous years, enduring extreme hardship. Such was their difficulty that the crying of the children, due to starvation, could be heard outside the valley.
The hearts of the disbelievers were so hard that on hearing the children crying, they would become delighted. However, those of them who were compassionate at heart would find this unacceptable and would clearly say, “Do you not see the punishment that befell Mansoor bin ‘Ikrimah (the one who wrote the oppressive resolution)?”

Muhammed bin Abi Haatim (rahimahullah) mentions:
Imaam Bukaari (rahimahullah) would often mount his conveyance and ride out to practice archery. Such was his mastery in archery that throughout the lengthy period that I remained with him, I only saw his arrow miss the target on two occasions. Imaam Bukhaari (rahimahullah) would always hit the target and no one could surpass his accuracy.
The Incident of Hazrat Muhammed bin Munkadir (rahimahullah)
Written by user2Hazrat Muhammed bin Munakdir (rahimahullah) relates:
Once, a man left eighty gold coins in trust with my father before leaving for jihaad. Before leaving, the man said to my father, “If you have a need to use this money then you may do so. I will reclaim the amount from you when I return.” Thereafter, Madinah Munawwarah experienced great difficulty due to which my father spent the entire amount on the people.
The Marriage of Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) to Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) – Part Twelve
Written by user2When Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) proposed for Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), then he did so via his daughter, Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha). Likewise, when Hazrat ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) proposed for Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), he sent the proposal via his daughter, Hazrat Hafsah (radhiyallahu ‘anha).
As for Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu), then when he intended to propose for Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha), he did not have a close female relative living in the home of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) via whom he could send his proposal. Hence, he personally came to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) to propose for Hazrat Faatimah (radhiyallahu ‘anha).
The Boycott of the Banu Haashim and Writing the Oppressive Resolution
Written by user2On one hand, the representatives of the Quraish returned with failure from Abyssinia and the disbelievers learnt that Najaashi had greatly honored Hazrat Ja’far (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and his companions. On the other hand, Hazrat Hamzah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) and Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) had embraced Islam, causing the disbelievers to lose much of their strength and power. Furthermore, the number of the Muslims continued to increase, day by day.
