he should use an odd number. If he does so, he has done well; but if
not, there is no harm.
If
anyone eats, he should throw away what he removes with a toothpick and
swallow what sticks to his tongue. If he does so, he has done well; if
not, there is no harm. If anyone goes to relieve himself, he should
conceal himself, and if all he can do is to collect a heap of send, he
should sit with his back to it, for the devil makes sport with the
posteriors of the children of Adam. If he does so, he has done well;
but if not, there is no harm.

give him half the booty, and the other half he would retain himself.
Further, one of us received an arrowhead and a feather, and the other an arrow-shaft as a share from the booty.
He
then reported: The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: You may
live for a long time after I am gone, Ruwayfi', so, tell people that if

evil eye, or cleanses himself with animal dung or bone, Muhammad has
nothing to do with him.

Mother of the Believers. She ordered that a dish called Khazirah should
be prepared for us. It was then prepared. A tray containing dates was
then presented to us. (The narrator Qutaybah did not mention the word
qina', tray).
Then
the Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) came. He asked: Has anything
been served to you or ordered for you? We replied: Yes, Messenger of
Allah. While we were sitting in the company of the Messenger of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him) we suddenly saw that a shepherd was driving a herd
of sheep to their fold. He had with him a newly-born lamb that was
crying.
He
(the Prophet) asked him: What did it bear, O so and so? He replied: A
ewe. He then said: Slaughter for us in its place a sheep. Do not think
that we are slaughtering it for you. We have one hundred sheep and we
do not want their number to increase. Whenever a ewe is born, we
slaughter a sheep in its place.
(The narrator says that the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) used the word la tahsabanna, do not think).
I
(the narrator Laqit) then said: Messenger of Allah, I have a wife who
has something (wrong) in her tongue, i.e. she is insolent. He said:
Then divorce her. I said: Messenger of Allah, she had company with me
and I have children from her. He said: Then ask her (to obey you). If
there is something good in her, she will do so (obey); and do not beat
your wife as you beat your slave-girl.
I
said: Messenger of Allah, tell me about ablution. He said: Perform
ablution in full and make the fingers go through the beard and snuff
with water well except when you are fasting.

follow both of them.

you, and do so every month, just as women menstruate and are purified
at the time of their menstruation and their purification.

the afternoon ('Asr) prayer, to wash, and then combine the noon and the
afternoon prayer; to delay the sunset prayer and advance the night
prayer, to wash, and then combine the two prayers, do so: and to wash

(peace_be_upon_him) made me ride behind him on the rear of the camel
saddle. By Allah, the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) got down in
the morning. He made his camel kneel down and I came down from the back
of his saddle. There was a mark of blood on it (saddle) and that was
the first menstruation that I had. I stuck to the camel and felt
ashamed.
When
the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) saw what had happened to me
and saw the blood, he said: Perhaps you are menstruating.
I
said: Yes. He then said: Set yourself right (i.e. tie some cloth to
prevent bleeding), then take a vessel of water and put some salt in it,
and then wash the blood from the back of the saddle, and then return to
your mount. When the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) conquered
Khaybar, he gave us a portion of the booty. Whenever the woman became
purified from her menses, she would put salt in water. And when she
died, she left a will to put salt in the water for washing her (after
death).

during menstrual period. When she was purified, she would look at the

leave it and that would not prevent us from praying with it (the same
clothe).
