Zuhayr reported that one of the Companions of the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "If anyone spends the night on a flat roof (without walls) and then falls off of it and dies, no one bears any responsibility for him. If anyone embarks on the sea when it is fierce (i.e. stormy) and is destroyed, no one bears any responsibility for him."

Abu Musa al-Ash'ari related that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was sitting in a walled garden on the rim of a well, dangling his feet into the well.

When Ibn 'Umar left his house, he used to say, "O Allah, keep me and those with me safe!"

Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, used to say when he left his house, "In the Name of Allah. Reliance is on Allah. There is no power nor strength except by Allah."

"When it became clear to us that we should go to the Prophet, may Allahbless him and grant him peace, we travelled until we were in sight of ourdestination. We were met by a man on a young camel. He greeted is and wereturned the greeting. Then he stopped and asked, 'Which tribe are youfrom?' We replied, 'We are the delegation of 'Abdu'l-Qays.' The man said,'Welcome. I was looking for you. I came to give you good news. Yesterdaythe Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, looked towards theeast and told us, "Tomorrow from that direction (i.e. the east) there willcome the best delegation of the Arabs." I spent the night preparing toleave. This morning I rode long and hard on my camel until dawn rose. ThenI thought of returning, but I caught sight of the heads of your mounts.'
