Sayings by Muhammad
Booty has been made lawful for me yet it was not lawful for anyone else before me.
Kill any pagan you encounter on the spot.
On another occasion, again against a Jewish tribe of Medina, he ordered all the tribe's adult males, some nine hundred, beheaded in the city square, the women and children sold into slavery, and their property distributed among his Muslim followers.
The best kind of manumission (of slaves) is the manumission of the most expensive slave and the most beloved by his master.
No servant should be called a 'slave,' for all of you are the slaves of Allah. Rather, you should refer to him as 'my young man.' The servant should not refer to anyone as 'my lord,' but rather he should refer to him as 'my master.'
I have been made victorious with terror.
I have been ordered to fight with the people till they say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.'
I looked into Paradise and saw that the majority of its people were the poor, and I looked into Hell and saw that the majority of its people were women.
No nation will prosper that entrusts its affairs to a woman.
The best women are those who are fertile and loving. The worst women are those who are barren and hateful.
If you see a woman, and she appeals to you, then go to your wife and have intercourse with her, for that will repel what you feel.
I used to forbid you from visiting graves, but now visit them, for they remind you of the Hereafter.
When one of you wakes up from sleep, he must not put his hand into a utensil till he has washed it three times, for he does not know where his hand spent the night.
When you hear the barking of dogs and the braying of donkeys at night, seek refuge with Allah, for they see what you do not see.
The earth has been made for me a place for prostration and a means of purification.
No one who has an atom's weight of pride in his heart will enter Paradise.
Indeed, I have been sent with concise words and comprehensive meanings.
If a fly falls into the drink of anyone of you, he should dip it (in the drink), for one of its wings has a disease and the other has the cure for the disease.
The greatest Jihad is to speak a word of truth to a tyrannical ruler.
There is no disease that Allah has sent down, except that He has also sent down its cure.
