A man relates that I saw a Muazzin who immediately ran away after performing the Adhan. Out of curiosity, I asked him "where are you going ?" He replied, "I want to find out how far the sound of my Adhaan reaches."
A man asked Hija "can you add on your fingers?" He replied in the affirmative. The man asked him to calculate the following, "You have 2 kilos of wheat". Hija responded by closing his small finger and the finger next to it. The man then said, "you have 2 kilos of barley". So Hija closed his thumb and the one finger next to it. The curious man asked, "Why have kept your middle finger standing?" Hija replied "So that the barley doesnt mix with the wheat".
A bedouin began to perform his Salah so that the people would recognize his devotion and praise him for his actions. On one occasion, whilst in Salah, he broke his Salah and boasted "I am also Fasting today".
A few people once discussing the night prayer (Tahajjud). Amongst these people was present a bedouin. They asked him do you get up at night (meaning do you read Tahajjud). He said Yes, so they asked him "What do you do?", he replied "I get up and urinate and go back to sleep."

A story teller informed the people, "Oh people, the satan doesnt't eat food and drink on which you have recited the name of Allah. So when you eat, do not recite Bismillah, that way the satan will eat with you. Instead you should recite Bismillah when you drink water." He assumed the failure of the Satan to share water with the person who recites Bismillah will cause the Satan to die of thirst.
