Rationaliser - you might want to add a few of these too to that series..
Sahih Bukhari 1:11:582: Allah's Apostle said, "When the Adhan is pronounced Satan takes to his heels and passes wind with noise during his flight in order not to hear the Adhan”
Sahih hadeeth of Hamnah bint Jahsh: According to the prophet the monthly menstruation for a woman is “a kick from the shaytaan”
Sahih Bukhari 1:6:301: Once Allah's Apostle went out to offer prayer and he passed by the women and said, "O women! Give alms, as I have seen that the majority of the dwellers of Hell-fire were you women.
They asked, "Why is it so, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "You curse frequently and are ungrateful to your husbands. I have not seen anyone more deficient in intelligence and religion than you. A cautious sensible man could be led astray by some of you."
The women asked, "O Allah's Apostle! What is deficient in our intelligence and religion?"
He said, "Is not the evidence of two women equal to the witness of one man?" They replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her intelligence. Isn't it true that a woman can neither pray nor fast during her menses?" The women replied in the affirmative. He said, "This is the deficiency in her religion."
Sahih Muslim Bk. 023, Number 5008: Ibn 'Umar reported Allah's Messenger as saying: When any one of you intends to eat, he should eat with his right hand. And when he (intends) to drink he should drink with his right hand, for the Satan eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand.
(currently 7 to 10% of the human population is left handed)
Bukhari Volume 5, Bk. 58, Number 188: During the pre-Islamic period of ignorance I saw a she-monkey surrounded by a number of monkeys. They were all stoning it, because it had committed illegal sexual intercourse. I too, stoned it along with them.
Muslim, Bk. 026, Number 5562: on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) commanded the killing of geckos, and he called them little noxious creatures... He said he who killed a gecko with the first stroke for him is such and such a reward, and he who killed it with a second stroke for him is such and such reward less than the first one, and he who killed it with the third stroke for him is such and such a reward less than the second one.
In the weaker As-Sunan hadith it also forbids the killing of frogs, because their croaking is praise to Allah
Bukhari 21:245 Those who keep on sleeping till morning and did not got up for Fajr, Satan urinates in their ears.
Bukhari Vol4:55:543: The Prophet said, "Allah created Adam, making him 60 cubits tall” (which is apprimately 90 feet!). Apparently also the people of that time were giants compared to the rest of us –but where is the archaelogical evidence?
Ibn Hisham. Al-Sira al-Nabawiyya : Tortured for treasure Kinana al-Rabi, who had the custody of the treasure of Banu Nadir, was brought to the apostle who asked him about it. He denied that he knew where it was. A Jew came (Tabari says "A Jew was brought"), to the apostle and said that he had seen Kinana going round a certain ruin early every morning.
When the apostle said to Kinana, "Do you know that if we find you have it I shall kill you?" He said "Yes".
The apostle gave orders that the ruin was to be excavated and some of the treasure was found. When he asked about the rest he refused to produce it, so the apostle gave orders to al-Zubayr Al-Awwam, "Torture him until you extract what he has." So he kindled a fire with flint and steel on his chest until he was nearly dead. Then the apostle delivered him to Muhammad b. Maslama and he struck off his head.
So the prophet was ok with torture when there is treasure at stake?
Bukhari 1:7368 The Prophet forbade laughing at a person who passes wind.
Bukhari Vol 1:5:277: The Prophet said, The (people of) Bani Israel used to take bath naked (all together) looking at each other. The Prophet Moses used to take a bath alone. They said, By Allah! Nothing prevents Moses from taking a bath with us except that he had a scrotal hernia.
So once Moses went out to take a bath and put his clothes over a stone and then that stone ran away with his clothes. Moses followed that stone saying, My clothes, O stone! My clothes, O stone! till the people of Bani Israel saw him and said, By Allah, Moses has got no defect in his body. Moses took his clothes and began to beat the stone.
