SAHIH BUKHARI VOLUME 4 > BOOK 56: VIRTUES AND MERITS OF THE PROPHET (PBUH) AND HIS COMPANIONS
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 673:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "While a dog was going round a well and was about to die of thirst, an Israeli
prostitute saw it and took off her shoe and watered it. So Allah forgave her because of that good
deed."
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 674:
Narrated Humaid bin 'Abdur-Rahman:
That he heard Muawiya bin Abi Sufyan (talking) on the pulpit in the year when he performed the
Hajj. He took a tuft of hair that was in the hand of an orderly and said, "O people of Medina! Where
are your learned men? I heard the Prophet forbidding such a thing as this (i.e. false hair) and he used
to say, 'The Israelis were destroyed when their ladies practiced this habit (of using false hair to
lengthen their locks)."
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 675:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Amongst the people preceding you there used to be 'Muhaddithun' (i.e. persons
who can guess things that come true later on, as if those persons have been inspired by a divine
power), and if there are any such persons amongst my followers, it is 'Umar bin Al-Khattab."
Volume 4, Book 56, Number 676:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, "Amongst the men of Bani Israel there was a man who had murdered ninety-
nine persons. Then he set out asking (whether his repentance could be accepted or not). He came
upon a monk and asked him if his repentance could be accepted. The monk replied in the negative
and so the man killed him. He kept on asking till a man advised to go to such and such village. (So he
left for it) but death overtook him on the way. While dying, he turned his chest towards that village
(where he had hoped his repentance would be accepted), and so the angels of mercy and the angels
of punishment quarrelled amongst themselves regarding him. Allah ordered the village (towards
which he was going) to come closer to him, and ordered the village (whence he had come), to go far
away, and then He ordered the angels to measure the distances between his body and the two vil-
lages. So he was found to be one span closer to the village (he was going to). So he was forgiven."
