==Muhammad humiliates Satan the genie by choking him with his bare hands==

{{Quote|{{Bukhari|2|22|301}} |Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet once offered the prayer and said, "Satan came in front of me and tried to interrupt my prayer, but Allah gave me an upper hand on him and I choked him. No doubt, I thought of tying him to one of the pillars of the mosque till you get up in the morning and see him. Then I remembered the statement of Prophet Solomon, 'My Lord! Bestow on me a kingdom such as shall not belong to any other after me.' Then Allah made him (Satan) return with his head down (humiliated)."}}

{{Quote|Ibn Sa'd's Kitab Tabaqat Al-Kubra, Volume 8, Page 200|Waqidi said: “The prophet of Allah used to say that I was among those who have little strength for intercourse. Then Allah sent me a pot with cooked meat. After I ate from it, I found strength any time I wanted to do the work.”}}

{{Quote|Bada'i al-Fuwa'id of [[w:Ibn Qayyim Al-Jawziyya|Ibn Qayyim]] (Islamic scholar), page 129|"If a man is torn between continued desire or releasing it, and if this man does not have a wife or he has a slave-girl but he does not marry, then if a man is overwhelmed by desire, and he fears that he will suffer because of this (someone like a prisoner, or a traveller, or a pauper), then it is permissible for him to masturbate, and Ahmad (ibn Hanbal) is explicit on this.

==Famous Hadith Narrator accompanies Prophet only to get Free Meals==

{{quote|{{bukhari|7|65|343}}|Narrated Abu Huraira: '''I used to accompany Allah's Apostle to fill my stomach;''' and that was when I did not eat baked bread, nor wear silk.

Ja'far bin Abi Talib was very kind to the poor, and he used to take us and feed us with what ever was available in his house, (and if nothing was available), he used to give us the empty (honey or butter) skin which we would tear and lick whatever was in it.}}
