Ibn 'Abbas said, "Part of the sunna is that when a man sits down, he removes his sandals and puts them at his side."

Abu Umama said, "Shaytan comes to one of you in bed after his family has covered him and wished him good night. He throws sticks, stones or other things on him to make him angry with his family. When he feels that, he should not get angry with his family.' He said, 'It is part of the work of Shaytan.'"

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 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.'
