It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) presented himself in the court of the Prophet and said, "What is your opinion? Allah has revealed this verse: 'You will never attain righteousness until you spend from that which you love,' and among all my wealth, 'Bairuha' is dearest to me. I give it in charity for the sake of Allah and hope for its goodness and reward with Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Wonderful! This is a profitable wealth, this is a profitable wealth." Then he distributed that garden among the people.

Abu Lubaid, may Allah have mercy on him, narrated from Mazah bin Ziyar, may Allah be pleased with him, that I sent my horse during the time of Hajjaj bin Yusuf and thought that we also participate in horse racing with a wager. Then we thought that first we should go and ask Hazrat Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, whether you people used to place wagers on horse racing during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him? So we went to him and asked him, and he replied, "Yes! Once he participated in a horse race with one of his horses, whose name was Subhah, and it went ahead of all the others, which amazed him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once entered the mosque and saw a rope hanging between two pillars. He asked, "What is this rope?" The people replied, "This is Zainab's rope. When she feels lazy or tired while praying, she ties herself to it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Untie it." Then he said, "When any one of you prays, he should pray as long as he remains energetic, and when he feels lazy or tired, he should stop."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The lower garment should be up to the middle of the shin. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw that this was causing difficulty for the Muslims, he said: Make it up to the ankles; there is no good in letting it go below that.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was once a drought. On a Friday, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering the sermon, a Bedouin stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The wealth is being destroyed and the children are hungry. Please pray to Allah to bless us with rain." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his hands and supplicated for rain. At the time when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his blessed hands, we could not see any clouds in the sky. Then clouds like mountains appeared, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not even descended from the pulpit when we saw rainwater dripping from his blessed beard... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A person grows old, but two things always remain in him: desire and hope.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sometimes a person spends his entire life or a long period of time performing good deeds, so that if he were to die in that state, he would enter Paradise. But then a change occurs in him and he becomes involved in sins. Similarly, a man remains involved in such sins for a long period of time that if he were to die in that state, he would enter Hell, but then a change occurs in him and he becomes engaged in good deeds.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to frequently supplicate: "O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion." Once we said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)! We have believed in you and in what you have brought; do you fear anything concerning us?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "The heart is between two fingers from among the fingers of Allah; He turns them as He wills."
