Sananjiy once requested Hazrat Amr bin Abasah to narrate a hadith to them in which there is neither any addition nor any mistake. He replied: I heard the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever frees a Muslim slave, for every limb of that slave, it will become a means of freedom from Hell for him. And whoever grows old in the path of Allah, that old age will become a source of light for him on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever shoots an arrow in the way of Allah, whether it hits the target or misses, it is as if he has freed a slave from among the descendants of Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him).

Saleem bin Aamir says that once Hazrat Ameer Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) set out with an army towards the land of Rome. The agreed period of the treaty between Hazrat Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) and the Romans was still remaining. Hazrat Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that he would stop after reaching near them, and as soon as the period ended, he would start fighting them. But what he saw was that an old man riding a mount was going along saying, "Fulfill the promise, do not break the covenant." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If a person has a treaty with any nation, he should not untie or tie its knot before the period ends or before they break the covenant from their side." When Hazrat Muawiya (may Allah be pleased with him) came to know of this, he turned back, and it was found out that the old man was Hazrat Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself in the court of the Messenger and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who has accepted Islam with you?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "Both the free and the slave" (Hazrat Abu Bakr and Hazrat Bilal, may Allah be pleased with them). I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Teach me something from the knowledge Allah has given you. Is there any time that is more virtuous?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The last part of the night is the most virtuous; at that time, angels are present and prayers are accepted. When you have offered the Fajr prayer, refrain from offering voluntary prayers until the sun rises. Even when the sun rises, do not pray until the sun has risen high, because when it rises, it rises between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. However, when it has risen to the height of one or two spears, then you may pray, for this is the time when the angels are present, until the shadow of a spear begins to appear; then refrain from prayer, for at that time Hell is kindled. But when the shadow declines, you may pray, for in this prayer too the angels are present, until you have offered the Asr prayer. After the Asr prayer, refrain from offering voluntary prayers until sunset, for it sets between the two horns of Satan, and at that time the disbelievers prostrate to it. When a person performs ablution and washes his hands, the sins of his hands fall away; when he washes his face, the sins of his face fall away; when he washes his arms and wipes his head, the sins of his arms and head fall away; when he washes his feet, the sins of his feet fall away. And when he stands for prayer with complete attention of heart and face, he returns in such a state as if his mother has just given birth to him." Someone asked him, "Did you really hear the Prophet (peace be upon him) say this?" He replied, "If I had not heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say this not once or twice, but twenty times, I would never have narrated it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is Islam? He replied: "That your heart submits to Allah and that Muslims are safe from your tongue and your hand." He asked: Which Islam is the best? He replied: "Faith!" He asked: What is meant by faith? He replied: To believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His prophets, and life after death. He asked: Which faith is the best? He replied: "Migration (Hijrah)." He then asked: What is meant by migration? He replied: "To abandon sins." He asked: Which migration is the best? He replied: "Jihad." He asked: What is meant by jihad? He replied: "To fight when confronting the disbelievers." He asked: Which jihad is the best? He replied: "That whose horse's legs are cut off and the person's own blood is shed." Then he said: "After this, there are two deeds which are the best, unless someone performs the same deeds: one is an accepted Hajj and the other is Umrah."

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I submitted in the court of the Messenger: O Messenger of Allah! Who else is with you on this religion? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Both the free and the slave." At that time, Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go back to your people until Allah grants victory to His Messenger." Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that I have seen the time when I was a quarter of Islam (the fourth person among those who accepted Islam).
