During a war, the soldiers complained of being thirsty. The Holy Prophet Mohummed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) sent two soldiers to look for some water. They saw a woman on a camel and brought her to the Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him).
After getting the old woman’s permission, Mohummed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) ordered the soldiers to pour the water into a receptacle. A little time later all the soldiers came and filled their water receptacles and skin bags with water. The woman was given some dates and her skin bag of water was filled to the top. Prophet Mohummed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) declared: "Your water has not decreased. Allah Almighty gave us the water."
Hazrat Zaid Bin Haris (May Allah be pleased with him), one of the greatest sahabas, was going to a distant land. The mule rider whom he had hired, wanted to kill him. After getting permission, Hazrat Zaid Bin Haris (May Allah be pleased with him) performed two rakaats of salaat. Then he said, "Ya Arhamarrahimin" three times. As he said each one, a voice saying "Do not kill him!" was heard.
The mule rider went out thinking there was somebody outside, and then came back in. After the third recitation, a cavalryman with a sword in his hand appeared and killed the mule rider. Turning to Hazrat Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) he said, "when you began to say ‘Ya Arhamarrahimin’, I was in the seventh heaven. When you said it for the second time, I reached the first heaven. And the moment you recited it for the third time, I was here and rescued you from the mule rider." Hazrat Zaid (May Allah be pleased with him) realised that he was an angel.
Once our sweet Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) sent a letter to the king of Persia named Husret Parviz, to convert him to Islam. When the vile Husrev received and read the letter he tore it to bits and killed the envoy who brought the letter.
When the Prophet of Allah Ta’ala (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) heard about this He was deeply sorry and prayed, "Oh! My Allah! Tear up his (Husrev’s) property as he tore up my letter." Husrev was stabbed by a dagger by his own son.
While Hazrat Omar was the Khalifa (ruler), the Muslims conquered the entire country of Persia, and Husrev’s descendants and property disappeared.
While the Prophet of Allah Ta’ala (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) was calling people to Islam and advising people and telling people about Islam in the city, and prohibiting disbelief, the vile Hakem Bin As, the father of Mervan, come after him. Whilst walking behind our sweet Holy Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) the vile Hakem pulled faces behind his back and opened and closed his eyes and puckered his face, and thus ridiculed and made fun of our Prophet Mohummed(Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him).
When the Prophet (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) noticed him pulling faces behind his back, he turned around and declared "Remain in the way you show yourself!" Hakem’s eyes remained moving continuously until the day he died.
One day whilst our sweet Holy Prophet(Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) was performing his prayer, Satan came up to him and tried to break Prophet Mohummed’s (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) prayer. Prophet Mohummed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) caught Satan with his Holy hands. He released him after Satan had promised not to come and disturb his prayer again.
Our Prophet Mohummed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon Him) said, "Every Prophet’s prayer is accepted. Every Prophet prayed for his followers in the world. I pray that Allah Ta’ala gives me permission to intercede for my followers on the Day of Judgement. I hope my prayers will be accepted. I will intercede for all of them except those who are disbelievers."
