Hadith on Worship: The Prophet would perform extra acts of worship during the last ten nights of Ramadan

Aisha reported: During the last ten nights of Ramadan, the Prophet, peace be upon him, would tighten his belt and spend the night in worship, and he would wake up his family.

[Sahih Bukhari, Book 32, Number 241]

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا دَخَلَ الْعَشْرُ شَدَّ مِئْزَرَهُ وَأَحْيَا لَيْلَهُ وَأَيْقَظَ أَهْلَهُ

Hadith on Punishment: How can we be sure the clouds are bringing rain and not thunder?

Aisha, the wife of the Prophet, reported: I never saw the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, laughing so loudly that we could see the back of his throat, but rather he used only to smile. Whenever he saw clouds or winds, one could recognize it on his face. I said, “O Messenger of Allah, when people see clouds they usually rejoice, hoping that it will bring rain; but I see that when you see clouds, one could recognize dissatisfaction on your face.” He said, “O Aisha, how can we believe there is no punishment in it? Some people were punished with the wind, while the people saw the punishment but they said: this is bringing rain.”

[Sahih Bukhari, Book 60, Number 353]

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَتْ مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ضَاحِكًا حَتَّى أَرَى مِنْهُ لَهَوَاتِهِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَتَبَسَّمُ قَالَتْ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَأَى غَيْمًا أَوْ رِيحًا عُرِفَ فِي وَجْهِهِ قَالَتْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ النَّاسَ إِذَا رَأَوْا الْغَيْمَ فَرِحُوا رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ الْمَطَرُ وَأَرَاكَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ عُرِفَ فِي وَجْهِكَ الْكَرَاهِيَةُ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا يُؤْمِنِّي أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ عَذَابٌ عُذِّبَ قَوْمٌ بِالرِّيحِ وَقَدْ رَأَى قَوْمٌ الْعَذَابَ فَقَالُوا  هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا
