Some of the more obscure quotes from the Quran

The Prophet said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night."

Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 54, Number 516

The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall"
Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 4, Book 55, Number 543

* Standard cubit: elbow to end of middle finger (20").
* Lower forearm cubit: elbow to base of the hand (12").
So Adam was at least 60ft tall and possibly up to 100ft


Anas said, "Some people of 'Ukl or 'Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them. So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of (Milch) camels and to drink their milk and urine"
Sahih Al-Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 4, Number 234
