Messenger of Allah.’ He said, “Sit down and drink.” So I sat and drank. Then he said, “Drink again,” and I drank. He kept repeating, “Drink,” until I exclaimed, “No—by Him who sent you with the truth, I can find no space for it!” He said, “Then give it to me.” I handed him the cup; he praised Allah, mentioned His name, and drank the remainder. Al-Bukhārī narrated this report.
508 – Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn relates from Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: “I have seen myself collapse (1) between the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and the apartment of ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her), falling unconscious. A passer-by would come, place his foot on my neck thinking I was mad (2)—yet I was not mad at all; nothing was wrong with me except hunger.” Al-Bukhārī narrated it.
509 – ʿĀʾishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away while his coat of mail was held in pledge with a Jew for thirty sāʿ of barley.” Agreed upon.
510 – Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “The Prophet ﷺ pawned his coat of mail for some barley. I once walked to the Prophet ﷺ with barley bread and some ihālah sakhkhah—melted fat whose smell had changed—and I heard him say, ‘The family of Muhammad has neither a single sāʿ this morning nor this evening,’ while they were nine households.” Al-Bukhārī narrated it.
The word ihālah, with a kasrah on the initial hamzah, means melted fat; sankhah, spelled with a nūn and a dotted khāʾ, refers to fat whose odor has altered.
511 – Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “I saw seventy of the people of the platform: not one of them had a cloak. They had either a waist-wrapper (izār) or a blanket (kisāʾ) which they had tied around their necks; some garments reached halfway down the shins, others to the ankles. Each man would gather it with his hand, fearing that his private part might be exposed.” Al-Bukhārī narrated it.
