It was a dark rainy night and Katada, Numan's son had prayed the evening prayer in the company of the Prophet who thereafter gave him a branch of a palm-tree saying, "Take it with you, it will shed light for you ten arms length before you and ten arms length behind you. When you enter your house you will see something dark. Beat it until it leaves because it is satan." Katada went home and the branch lit his way. When he entered his home he found the darkness and beat it until it left.

Through the blessing of the Prophet's touch, praise and peace be upon him, the ewe of Abdullah, Masood's son which had never been mated and the ewe of Al-Miqdad yielded an abundant supply of milk.

The Prophet stroked the face of Katada, Milhan's son and it shone in a way that when someone looked at his face it was like looking into a mirror.

Hanzalah, Hidhaym's son was also blessed by the touching of his head by the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him. One day a man came to him with his sheep. His face was swollen and the udders of his sheep were also swollen. The swollen parts were placed upon the area the Prophet's hand had touched Hanzalah’s head and the swellings disappeared.

During the conflict of Hunain, the Prophet picked up a handful of dust and threw it at the faces of the unbelievers and said, "May their faces be ugly!" They turned away and wiped filth from their eyes.

At one time Abu Hurayrah came to the Prophet and complained of his forgetfulness. The Prophet told him to spread out his robe and he scooped his hands into it. Then he told him to draw the robe to him, and this he did. Thereafter he did not forget a thing. (Shaykh Darwish commented: Abu Hurayrah reported over 5000 prophetic sayings which were, with the exception of 42 prophetic sayings, also reported by many other Companions. This fact is proof that those who attempt to throw doubt on the science of hadith, or on the personality of Abu Hurayrah are wrong, and Muslims should not doubt these reports.)

Jarir, Abdullah's son was unstable on horses, the Prophet patted his chest and supplicated for him and thereafter he became the best and most stable of all Arab horsemen.
