It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! There are three things upon which I can swear: First, wealth does not decrease by giving charity, so give charity; second, whoever forgives an oppressor for the sake of Allah, Allah will increase his honor; and third, whoever opens the door of begging, Allah will open the door of poverty for him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Abu Bakr will be in Paradise, Umar, Ali, Uthman, Talha, Zubair, Abdur Rahman bin Awf, Sa'd bin Malik, Sa'id bin Zaid, and Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with them all) will also be in Paradise."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I participated with my uncles—while I was still young—in the Hilf al-Mutayyibin, which is also called Hilf al-Fudul. I would not like to break this agreement even if I were given red camels in exchange for it."

Makhool (may Allah have mercy on him) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If any of you has doubt in prayer and does not remember whether he has prayed one rak'ah or two, then he should count it as one rak'ah. If he is in doubt between two and three, then he should consider them as two. If he is in doubt between three and four, then he should count them as three. After that, upon completing the prayer and before saying salam, he should perform two prostrations of forgetfulness (sujood as-sahw)."

Then, Husain bin Abdullah narrated this ruling with his chain and said: It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) asked him, "O boy! Have you heard this issue from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from any companion, that if a person has doubt in prayer, what should he do?" While this conversation was taking place, Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was seen coming from the front. He asked, "What are you discussing?" Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I was asking this boy whether he has heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or from any companion about this issue, that if a person has doubt in prayer, what should he do?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that he informed Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) during the journey to Syria that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "This is a punishment that came upon the nations before you, so if you hear of an epidemic in a land, do not go there, and if it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave from there." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) returned from Syria.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with the intention of going to Syria . . . . . . Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) was not present at that time; when he arrived, he said, "I have accurate knowledge about this. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'If you hear of an epidemic in a land, do not go there, and if it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave from there.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: 'I am the Most Merciful (Rahman), I created the womb (rahm) and derived its name from My own name. Whoever maintains its ties, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever and shatter him.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty says: 'I am the Most Merciful (Rahman), I created the womb (rahm) and derived its name from My own name. Whoever maintains its ties, I will maintain ties with him, and whoever severs it, I will sever him and break him apart.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) set out towards Syria. When he reached Sargh, he found out that a plague had spread in Syria. Then Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Awf (may Allah be pleased with him) informed Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you hear that this epidemic has broken out in a land, do not go there, and if it breaks out in a land where you are, do not leave from there." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) returned from Sargh itself.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) once set out towards Syria. When he reached the place of Sargh, the commanders of the army, including Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Al-Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him), came to meet him. They informed Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that a plague had spread in Syria. After mentioning the complete hadith, the narrator said that then Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Auf (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived—he had gone somewhere for some need—and said, "I have certain knowledge about this. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'When this plague spreads in any area and you are already there, do not flee from it, and if you are not there, do not go to that area.'" Upon this, Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) thanked Allah and returned.
