باب فَضْلِ الْوُضُوءِ وَالصَّلاَةِ عَقِبَهُ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 228

'Amr b Sa'id b al-As reported

I was with Uthman, and he called for ablution water and said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say: When the time for a prescribed prayer comes, if any Muslim performs ablution well and offers his prayer with humility and bowing, it will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he has not committed a major sin; and this applies for all times.

Chapter 3: The Miracles Of The Prophet (ﷺ)

باب فِي مُعْجِزَاتِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 2280

Jabir reported that Umm Malik used to send clarified butter in a small skin to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Her sons would come to her and ask for seasoning when they had nothing with them (in the form of condiments) and she would go to that (skin) in which she offered (clarified butter) to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), and she would find in that clarified butter and it kept providing her with seasoning for her household until she had (completely) squeezed it. She came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and (informed him about it). Thereupon, he (the Holy Prophet ) said

Did you squeeze it? She said: Yes. Thereupon he said: If you had left it in that very state, it would have kept on provid- ing you (the clarified butter) on end.

Sahih Muslim 2281

Jabir reported that a person came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and asked for food. And he gave him half a wasq of barley, and the person and his wife and their guests kept on making use of it (as a food) until he weighed it (in order to find out the actual quantity, and it was no more). He came to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (and informed him about it). He said

Had you not weighed it, you would be eating out of it and it would have remained intact for you.

Chapter 5: The Likeness Of The Guidance And Knowledge With Which The Prophet (ﷺ) Was Sent

باب بَيَانِ مَثَلِ مَا بُعِثَ بِهِ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم مِنَ الْهُدَى وَالْعِلْمِ ‏‏

Sahih Muslim 2282

Abu Musa reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

The similitude of that guidance and knowledge with which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has sent me is that of rain falling upon the earth. There is a good piece of land which receives the rainfall (eagerly) and as a result of it there is grown in it herbage and grass abundantly. Then there is a land hard and barren which retains water and the people derive benefit from it and they drink it and make the animals drink. Then there is another land which is barren. Neither water is retained in it, nor is the grass grown in it. And that is the similitude of the first one who develops the understanding of the religion of Allah and it becomes a source of benefit to him with which Allah sent me. (The second one is that) who acquires the knowledge of religion and imparts it to others. (Then the other type is) one who does not pay attention to (the revealed knowledge) and thus does not accept guidance of Allah with which I have been sent.

Sahih Muslim 2283

Abu Musa reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying

The similitude of mine and of that with which Allah sent me is that of a person who came to us and said: O people, I have seen an army with my eyes and I am a plain warner (and issue you warning) that you should immediately manage to find an escape. A group of people from amongst them paying heed (to his warning) fled to a place of protection and a group amongst them belied him and the morning overtook them in their houses and the army attacked them and killed them and they were routed. And that is the similitude of the one who obeyed me, followed with which I had been sent and the similitude of the other is of one who disobeyed and belied me and the Truth with which I have been sent.
