which he asked me to eat: and, by Allah; I ate of it till I became quite satisfied.'
19. The same related: 'Once when I was very hungry, his Excellency asked me to his house, and on arriving I found that he had prepared a cup of milk.

When they told the Prophet that Kazman had fought better than all the rest, he repeated, 'He surely will go to Hell.' This was so strange, that one of the companions went after the man to learn his state; and then saw him draw an arrow from his quiver to kill himself, he being reluctant to bear the pains from a spear-wound which he had received. When Mohammed heard this, he told Bilal to call out aloud, 'No one who is not a Mussulman can enter Paradise.'

That Excellency asked me to open the door for the coming person and to salute him with the promise of Paradise. I did as I was bidden, and that person was Abu Bekr. Then some one else knocked, and his Excellency spoke as before. This was Omar. After

a while again some one knocked, and Mohammed, who was reclining, said, "Go, open the door, and salute him with the promise of Paradise, on the condition that he is to suffer a great calamity." I went and found that it was Othman.'

After that Excellency had finished his circumambulation, he went again to Abu Sofyan, and said to him, "O Abu Sofyan, do thou no harm to thy wife; for she has not betrayed thy secrets." Upon this Abu Sofyan said, "I testify that thou art the Prophet of the Most High God, and knowest my mind and my secrets."'
27. Aisha the faithful stated: 'Once the Prophet sent me to see a lady whom he desired to marry. On my return I said, "O Apostle of God, I did not see anything that would answer." His Excellency replied, "The truth is, that thou hast seen in her face such a charm of beauty as raised thy jealousy."
