9. The Cistern of the Prophet
The Cistern of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be
upon him) is called al-Kawthar, and its location is before
the Siraat, according to the more correct opinion. Its water
comes to it from the river of al-Kawthar in Paradise. His
Cistern is square, and its length and breadth are the
distance of a month’s travel by camel. Its water is whiter
than milk, its fragrance is more pleasant than musk and its
taste is sweeter than honey. The number of its vessels is like
the number of stars in the sky, and even more. Whoever
drinks from it will never thirst again after that.

10. The Prophet will precede his ummah, then he will rejoice when he sees
them drinking in such large numbers, and they will come and drink from this
great bounty that Allah has bestowed upon him and with which He has
honoured him, and the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) will
feel sad when he sees people being turned away from the Cistern.
So he will not give them to drink, because what is clearly stated is that they will
come and will drink, and others will be excluded and driven away.

Prophet Muhammad warned against any human being causing a
bird to feel panic about its little offspring. Someone took two chicks
of a bird, which came in panic searching for its chicks. Prophet
Muhammad then asked, “Who has distressed it by taking its
chicks?” Then he asked them to return the chicks. (Abu Dawud)

13. He once entered the garden of man from the Ansar (Muslims of Madinah)
and there was a camel. When the Prophet saw the camel it froze and its
eyes started watering. Then the Prophet of Allah came to it and rubbed its
ears so it calmed down. Then the Prophet said, “Who is the owner of this
camel? Whose camel is this?” A young man from the Ansar told him, ”O
Messenger of Allah, it belongs to me.” Then he told him (, “Do you not
fear Allah with regard to this beast which Allah has let you own? It
complained to me that you starve it and tire it by overworking it and using
it beyond its capacity." (Ahmad and Abu Dawud)

14. Prophet Muhammad once said, “A woman was doomed to enter
the Fire because of a cat. She imprisoned it and neither fed it nor
set it free to eat the rodents of the earth.” ( Bukhari )

15. Abu Hurairah reported Allah's
Messenger as saying, „The best
house among the Muslims is
one where an orphan is well
treated, and the worst house
among the Muslims is one
where an orphan is badly
treated." (Ibn Majah)

16. He said: The most perfect Muslim in the matter of faith is one who
has excellent behavior; and the best among you are those who
behave best towards their wives. (Tirmidhi)
He said, "A believing man should not hate a believing woman; if
he dislikes one of her characteristics, he will be pleased with
another. (Muslim)

17. He said, "Whoever [brings up] two girls till they come of age, will
be in the next world along with me, like my two fingers joining
each other." (Abu Dawud)

18. When his guests brought children with them, the Prophet called
them towards him and placed them on his lap. One day an infant
urinated on his clothes. He simply poured water over the area but
did not wash the clothes (as the infant was only breast-fed).
(Bukhari )
Prophet Muhammad used to set some kids in a row and saying,
"I'll give such and such (i.e gift or so) to the one who come to me
first." So they used to race and fall on his back and chest. (Ahmad)
