'A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be
upon him) recited (these verses of the Qur'an) : "He it is Who revealed to
thee (Muhammad) the Book (the Qur'an) wherein there are clear
revelations-these are the substance of the Book and others are allegorical
(verses). And as for those who have a yearning for error they go after the
allegorical verses seeking (to cause) dissension, by seeking to explain
them. And none knows their implications but Allah, and those who are sound
in knowledge say: We affirm our faith in everything which is from our Lord.
It is only the persons of understanding who really heed" (iii. 6). 'A'isha
(further) reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) said (in
connection with these verses) : When you see such verses, avoid them, for it
is they whom Allah has pointed out (in the mentioned verses).

has acquired great knowledge from Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him).
I thus met him and asked him about things which he narrated from Allah's
Messenger (may peace be upon him). And amongst these the one he mentioned
was that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) said: Verily, Allah does
not take away knowledge from people directly but he takes away the scholars
and consequently takes away (knowledge) along with them and leaves amongst
persons the ignorant as their leaders who deliver religious verdicts without
(adequate) knowledge and themselves go astray and lead others astray. 'Urwa
said: When I narrated this to 'A'isha, she deemed it too much (to believe)
and thus showed reluctance to accept that (as perfectly true) and said to,
'Urwa: Did he ('Abdullah b. 'Amr) say to you that he had heard Allah's
Apostle (may peace be upon him) as saying: ('Urwa had forgotten to ask this
from 'Abdullah b. 'Amr). So when it was the next year, she ('A'isha) said to
him ('Urwa): Ibn Amr has come (for Hajj), so meet him. talk to him and ask
him about this hadith that he narrated to You (last year on the occasion of
the Hajj) pertaining to knowledge. He ('Urwa), said: So I met him, and asked
about it and he narrated to me exactly like one that he had narrated (to me)
for the first time. So when I informed her ('A'isha) about that, she said: I
do not think but this that he has certainly told the truth and I find that
be has neither made any addition to it, nor missed anything from it.

woollen clothes came to Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him). He saw
them in sad plight as they had been hard pressed by need. He (the Holy
Prophet) exhorted people to give charity, but they showed some reluctance
until (signs) of anger could be seen on his face. Then a person from the
Ansar came with a purse containing silver. Then came another person and then
other persons followed them in succession until signs of happiness could be
seen on his (sacred) face. Thereupon Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon
him) said: He who introduced some good practice in Islam which was followed
after him (by people) he would be assured of reward like one who followed
it, without their rewards being diminished in any respect. And he who
introduced some evil practice in Islam which had been followed subsequently
