It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Quraysh exceeded all limits in disobeying the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated against them for a famine like that during the time of Yusuf (peace be upon him). Consequently, the Quraysh were surrounded by famine and hardship, to the extent that they were forced to eat hides and bones, and the situation became such that when a person looked towards the sky, due to hunger he would see smoke between himself and the sky. After this, Abu Sufyan came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), your people are being destroyed, so pray to Allah to remove this punishment from them." So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for them and said: "O Allah! If they do this again, then inflict punishment upon them again." Then he recited this verse: «﴿فَارْتَقِبْ يَوْمَ تَأْتِي السَّمَاءُ بِدُخَانٍ مُبِينٍ﴾» [الدخان: 10] "So wait for the Day when the sky will bring forth a clear smoke."

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 begs while he has enough to meet his needs, he will come on the Day of Resurrection with his face scratched." The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! What is meant by 'enough to meet his needs'? He said: "Fifty dirhams or its equivalent in gold."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What have I to do with the world? My example and the example of the world is like that of a rider who stopped under a tree for a short while to take shade on a hot day, then left it and moved on."

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I have observed thirty fasts of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) more frequently than twenty-nine (29); I have never observed twenty-nine with such frequency.

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: "There are some angels of Allah who roam about on the earth and convey to me the greetings of my Ummah."

Alqamah narrates that on one occasion, Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Shall I not lead you in prayer as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray?" Then he led them in prayer and performed the raising of the hands (raf' al-yadayn) only the first time.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever seizes the wealth of a Muslim by swearing a false oath will meet Allah while He is angry with him, and concerning this Allah revealed this verse up to the end: «‏‏‏‏﴿إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَشْتَرُونَ بِعَهْدِ اللّٰهِ وَأَيْمَانِهِمْ ثَمَنًا قَلِيلًا . . . . .﴾» ‏‏‏‏ [آل عمران: 77] 'Those who exchange Allah’s covenant and their oaths for a small price . . . . . .'"

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: "On the Day of Resurrection, the first cases to be decided among the people will be those of murder."
