It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this verse was revealed: "O you who believe! Do not raise your voices above the voice of the Prophet," Hazrat Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him), whose voice was naturally loud, said, "My voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." Thinking this, he sat at home in grief. One day, the Prophet (peace be upon him) inquired about his absence, so some people went to him and said, "The Prophet (peace be upon him) was asking about your absence. What is the matter?" He said, "I am the one whose voice is louder than the voice of the Prophet (peace be upon him), and I speak loudly while talking, so all my deeds have been wasted and I have become a person of Hell." The people came and mentioned this to the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "No, rather he is a person of Paradise."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the people of Yemen came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they requested the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to send a man with them who would teach them the religion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) with them and said, "He is the trustworthy one of this Ummah."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! So-and-so has a garden, I want to build my wall there, please order him to give me that place so that I can erect my wall." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told the concerned man, "Give him that place in exchange for a tree in Paradise," but he refused. Hazrat Abu Dahdah (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, so he went to him and said, "Sell your garden to me in exchange for my garden." He sold it. After buying it, he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I have bought that garden in exchange for my garden, please give it to that person, for I have given this garden to you." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said several times, "How excellent are the bunches of dates for Abu Dahdah in Paradise." After that, he went to his wife and said, "O Umm Dahdah! Leave this garden, for I have sold it in exchange for a garden in Paradise." His wife said, "What a successful trade!"

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to have his head shaved (on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage), Hazrat Abu Talha (may Allah be pleased with him) took some hair from one part of his head in his hands. Then those hairs were taken by Umm Sulaym, and she used to mix them in her perfume and shake them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were reciting the Holy Qur'an. Among us were Arabs, non-Arabs, black and white people of all kinds. During this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came and said, "You are upon goodness (and in the best of times) that you are reciting the Book of Allah and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) is among you. Soon a time will come upon people when they will rattle like utensils rattle; they will take their reward immediately and will not keep anything for the Hereafter."

It is narrated that Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to act contrary to Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him). Once, Umar bin Abdul Aziz (may Allah have mercy on him) asked him the reason for this, so he replied, "I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing the prayer in a certain way. If you conform to that, I will pray with you, but if you act contrary to it, I will perform my prayer alone and go home."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performing eight rak'ahs of Duha prayer while on a journey, and after completing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have performed a prayer of longing and fear. I asked my Lord for three things; He granted me two and withheld one. I requested that my Ummah not be destroyed by famine, and Allah accepted it. I requested that the enemy not be given complete dominance over them, and Allah accepted that as well. Then I presented the third request that they not be divided into different sects, but Allah did not grant this."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He had performed ablution, but a spot equal to the size of a nail on his foot was left dry. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Go back and perform ablution properly."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surah Al-Kafiroon is equal to a quarter of the Qur'an, Surah Az-Zalzalah is equal to a quarter of the Qur'an, and Surah An-Nasr is also equal to a quarter of the Qur'an.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some people will be admitted to Hell because of their sins. When they are burnt and become like coal, they will be admitted to Paradise. The people of Paradise will ask: Who are these people? It will be said to them: These are the people of Hell.
