Mu‘āwiyah ibn al-Hakam As-Sulami (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: While I was praying with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) a man sneezed, so I said: "May Allah have mercy upon you." People looked at me disapprovingly, so I said: "May my mother lose me, why do you stare at me?" They began to strike their thighs with their hands, and when I saw them urging me to be silent I said nothing. When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) finished the prayer – and may my father and mother be sacrificed for him! I have never seen a mentor before him nor after him who gave better instruction than him. By Allah, he neither scolded me, nor beat me, nor insulted me, rather he said: ‘In prayer, nothing of people's ordinary speech is allowed. Only Tasbīh, Takbīr, and recitation of the Qur'an are allowed." Or he said something similar to that. Then I said: "O Messenger of Allah, I have recently abandoned the beliefs of the pre-Islamic era, and Allah has brought Islam to us, and there are men among us who go to diviners." He said: "Do not go to them." I said: "There are men who believe in omens." He said: "That is something which they find in their hearts, but let it not prevent them (from doing whatever they intend to do) (Ibn As-Sabbāh said: let it not prevent you)." I said: "Among us are men who draw lines." He said: "There was a prophet who used to draw lines, so if their lines are as his, then that will be good." He (Mu‘āwiyah) added: "I had a bondmaid who tended sheep for me by the side of Uhud and Al-Jawwāniyyah. One day, I happened to pass that way and found that a wolf had snatched a ewe from her flock. As a normal human being, I got angry and gave her a slap. Then I came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who considered my act of slapping her grievous, so I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, should I emancipate her?' He said: 'Bring her to me.' So I brought her to him, and he said to her: 'Where is Allah?' She said: 'He is in the heaven.' He said: 'Who am I?' She said: 'You are the Messenger of Allah.' He said: 'Set her free, for she is a believing woman.'"

Jika Ensiklopedia Hadis Nabi yang Diterjemahkan (HadeethEnc.com) mengandungi teks yang sama tepat dengan sesuatu riwayat, terjemahannya dipaparkan di bawah riwayat itu dengan menyebut sumbernya. Kedua-duanya dipadankan oleh atur cara, berdasarkan teks Arab sahaja: keseluruhan teks hadis dalam ensiklopedia itu, bersama nama sahabat yang disebutnya, ialah bahagian akhir riwayat itu huruf demi huruf. Tiada sesiapa pun yang telah menyemak padanan ini, dan penyemak Sabīl belum meneliti terjemahannya. Teks Arablah teksnya. Jika ensiklopedia itu belum menterjemahkan sesuatu hadis ke dalam bahasa ini, terjemahan Inggerisnya dipaparkan.
Teks Arab, penomboran, nama kitab dan darjat dipaparkan tepat seperti yang terdapat dalam satu set data terbuka (hadith-api). Sabīl belum mengesahkan ketepatannya mahupun hak ke atasnya, dan semakan ulamanya belum bermula. Sehingga itu, semak sesuatu riwayat dengan edisi bercetak sebelum bergantung padanya.
