Muslim bin Subaih says that I went with Masruq to a church where there was a statue of Mary (peace be upon her). Masruq asked: Is this the statue of Kisra? I said: No, rather it is the statue of Mary (peace be upon her). He said: I heard Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrate from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that "On the Day of Resurrection, the people who will receive the severest punishment will be the image-makers."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever sees me in a dream should be certain that he has indeed seen me, for Satan cannot assume my form or appearance."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you are three people, then two of you should not whisper to each other excluding the third, because this will cause grief to the third."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) led us in the prayer of fear (Salat al-Khawf). The noble Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) stood in two rows: one row behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the other row facing the enemy. The Prophet (peace be upon him) led those standing behind him in one rak'ah, then these people stood up and went to stand in front of the enemy, and those in the second row came and stood in the place of the first row. The Prophet (peace be upon him) also led them in one rak'ah and then said salam. Then these people stood up and themselves prayed one rak'ah and after saying salam, went to stand in front of the enemy in the place of the first row, and the people of the first row returned to their place and prayed one rak'ah and then said salam.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught him the words of Tashahhud and ordered him to teach them to the people as well: «التَّحِيَّاتُ لِلّٰهِ وَالصَّلَوَاتُ وَالطَّيِّبَاتُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ أَيُّهَا النَّبِيُّ وَرَحْمَةُ اللّٰهِ وَبَرَكَاتُهُ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْنَا وَعَلَى عِبَادِ اللّٰهِ الصَّالِحِينَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا اللّٰهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ» The translation of which is:“All verbal, physical, and bodily acts of worship are for Allah alone. O Prophet (peace and blessings be upon you)! Peace be upon you, and may Allah’s mercy and blessings descend upon you. Peace be upon us and upon the righteous servants of Allah. I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is Allah’s servant and His Messenger.”

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that in the beginning, we used to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam during prayer, and he would respond to us. But when we returned from Najashi and greeted him with salam, he did not respond. We said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Previously, we used to greet you with salam during prayer and you would respond to us? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, there is engagement in prayer."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The superiority of prayer in congregation over prayer performed alone is more than twenty degrees."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came and asked in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "When will the Night of Qadr be?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which of you remembers that night which was turning red and white?" I said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, I remember it. At that time, I had some dates in my hand and I was secretly eating sahur with them at the back of my saddle, and the moon was out at that time."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) inadvertently performed five rak'ahs instead of four in the Zuhr prayer. Someone asked: Has there been an addition in the prayer that you performed five rak'ahs? Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two prostrations of forgetfulness (sahw).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The superiority of prayer in congregation over prayer performed alone is twenty-five degrees, and each degree is equal to his prayer."
