I never saw Allah’s Messenger Hazrat Muhammad(PBUH) laughing loudly enough to enable me to see his uvula,
but he used to smile only. And whenever he saw clouds or winds, signs of deep concern would appear on his
face. I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (PBUH)! When people see clouds, they usually feel happy, hoping that it
would rain, while I see that when you see clouds, one could notice signs of dissatisfaction on your face.”
He said, “O Ayesha! What is the guarantee for me that there will be no punishment in it since some people
were punished with a wind? Verily, some people saw (received) the penalty, but (while seeing the cloud) they
said, This cloud will give us rain.
(Sahih al-Bukhari: 4828)

into the Fire. The man tried (his best) to prevent them (from falling in the Fire), but they overpowered him
and rushed into the Fire. The Prophet (PBUH) added: Now, similarly, I take hold of the knots at your waist
(belts) to prevent you from falling into the Fire, but you insist on falling into it.

died, another would take over his place. There will be no prophet after me, but there will be Caliphs who
will increase in number.” The people asked, “O Allah’s Messenger (PBUH)! What do you order us (to do)?” He
said, “Obey the one who will be given the pledge of allegiance first. Fulfill their ( the Caliphs) rights,
for Allah will ask them about (any shortcoming) in ruling those Allah has put under their
guardianship.”Narrated Abu Huraira.
