No 10 Khateeb narrates a lengthy hadith from Jaabir

‘I was once on a journey with the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam and we passed by a village, the men of which had heard of our passing and had come out in wait. They pleaded ‘Yaa Rasoolallah, there is a young woman in this village with whom a Jinn is besotted and he has possessed her and she neither eats nor drinks and will soon surely be destroyed’. Jaabir states that he saw the woman and she was very beautiful, like a piece of the moon. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam called for her and said ‘Oh Jinn, You know who I am, Muhammad, the Prophet of Allah! Leave this woman and go away’. As soon as he had said this the woman came to her senses and pulled the Niqaab21 over her face and shied away from the men and became perfectly normal.’

No 11 Tirmidhi narrates from Abu Ayub Ansaari

‘There was a stove full of dates and a female Jinn would come and take from it. The people complained to the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam who ordered ‘Go, when you next see her say ‘With the name of Allah, come on the request of the Prophet’. So they caught and brought her to the Prophet and let her go only after she promised not to return’.

No 15 It is narrated from Jaabir by the Sahihain 22
‘The people were very thirsty at Hudaybia. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam had a jug with which he performed ablution. The people pleaded with the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam ‘Our army has neither water to drink nor to perform wudhu except that which is in your jug’. So he sallallaahu alaihi wasallam put his blessed hand into the jug and water sprung out of his fingers and all of us drank from it and performed wudhu with it’. Syeduna Jaabir was asked how many people were they? He replied ‘If there were 100,000 people the water would have sufficed (i.e. there was so much water), we were 1500 men.’

The Sahihain narrate from Syeduna Jaabir that during the days of the battle of the Khandaq he slaughtered a goat in invitation of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam and prepared one Saah (2.4kg) of flour and discretely requested the Prophet to come with a few other people. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam gathered all the Ahl ul Khandaq, some one thousand, and brought them all along and ordered Jaabir not to touch the cooking pot and nor to bake the flour until he arrived. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam later arrived and put his blessed saliva in the knead dough and the cooking pot and performed the dua of barakah and ordered ‘Call another woman to cook and keep taking the soup out of the pot but do not take it off the fire’. Jaabir states ‘There were 1000 people, by Allah, all of them ate and our cooking pot and flour appeared untouched.’

No 18 It is narrated from Syeduna Anas in the Sahihain

‘During the time of the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam there was a severe drought. One day he sallallaahu alaihi wasallam was delivering the Friday sermon when a Bedouin rose and pleaded ‘Yaa Rasoolallah sallallaahu alaihi wasallam, Goods are destroyed and families are dying of hunger,

supplicate for rain’. At that time there was not a shred of cloud in the sky and the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam raised both his hands and by Allah, before he had lowered them, clouds the size of mountains had gathered from all sides. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam had not even descended from the pulpit when drops of rain had begun falling and it rained from that day until the next Friday when the same Bedouin, or someone else, stood up and pleaded ‘Houses have collapsed and goods have drowned, supplicate for the rain to stop’. He sallallaahu alaihi wasallam raised both his hands and supplicated ‘Oh Allah, Let it rain around us but not on us’ and every cloud he pointed to opened up and the rain stopped over Madeenah but continued outside Madeenah. The people who would come from the outskirts of the city would tell of the great rain’

No 20 Tirmidhi narrates from Hazat Ali

‘I was with the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam in Makkah. Once he sallallaahu alaihi wasallam left for the outskirts of the city and I went with him. Every tree or mountain we passed proclaimed ‘Asslaam u alaika Yaa Rasoolallah’
No 22 Tirmidhi narrates from Abu Hurayra
‘I placed a few dried dates before the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam and pleaded ‘Perform the dua of barakah for these dried dates‘. He sallallaahu alaihi wasallam gathered the dates together and performed a dua of barakah over them and ordered ‘Take these and put them in your waist pouch and whenever you want put your hand in and take out but don’t ever shake it’. Abu Hurayra states ‘There was so much barakah in those dried dates that I gave away many wisq (one wisq is made up of 60 Saahs and one Saah approximately 2.4kg) in the path of Allah and always ate and fed others from it. The pouch stayed tied to my waist until the day of Uthmaan’s martyrdom (some 30 years later) when it was cut away from my waist and lost’.

No 24 Bayhaqi narrates from Safeena

‘I was out at sea during a storm when the ship broke and I only reached land by floating on a plank of wood. There I found a lion heading towards me to whom I said ‘I am a servant of the Prophet’23. The lion came towards to me and rubbed it’s shoulder against me. It then walked alongside me until it brought me onto the path. After every short while it would make a faint noise and put it’s tail into my hand by which I understood it was bidding me farewell’.

No 25 In Bukhaari Abu Hurayra narrates

‘The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam found a bowl of milk in his house. He ordered for the As’haab us Suffa24 to be called for they were hungry. I thought in my heart ‘If only he would give it to me, I would drink until I was fulfilled’. I called all the As’haab us Suffa and the Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam ordered them to be given the milk to drink. I began serving them until each one had had his fill. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam then ordered me to drink and I drank. He then told me to drink again and I kept drinking until there was no room left in my stomach. The Prophet sallallaahu alaihi wasallam then drank the rest’.
23 Some question the practice of calling oneself the servant of the Prophet (Abd e Rasool). This hadith shows that this title was a sign of honour and pride for our pious predecessors
