It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The one who should lead the people in prayer is the one among them who is the best reciter of the Qur'an and the most proficient in its recitation. If they are equal in recitation, then the one who migrated first should lead. If they are equal in migration, then the oldest among them should lead. No one should lead prayer in the house or domain of another except with his permission, and likewise, no one should sit in the honored place of someone in his house except with his permission."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was presented before Allah Almighty. Allah asked him, "What did you do in the world?" He replied, "I did not do any good deed, not even equal to a particle, for which I could hope for reward from You." This happened three times. The third time, he said, "O Lord! You granted me abundance of wealth and riches in the world, and I used to trade with people. It was my habit to show leniency to people, to make things easy for the wealthy, and to give respite to the poor." Upon this, Allah Almighty said, "We are more deserving of this than you. Angels! Forgive My servant." Thus, he was forgiven. Upon hearing this hadith, Hazrat Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I heard this hadith from the blessed mouth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in exactly this way."

There was another man who instructed his family that when he died, they should burn him and crush his remains, and on a windy day, scatter his ashes. His family did as he had instructed. All his body parts were gathered in the presence of the Lord, and Allah asked him, "What compelled you to do this?" He replied, "O Lord! There was no servant more disobedient to You than me. I thought perhaps in this way I might be saved." Allah Almighty said, "Angels! Forgive My servant." Upon hearing this hadith as well, Hazrat Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I heard this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in exactly this way."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (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! I think that so-and-so (the imam) makes me miss the Fajr prayer because of fear of him." The narrator says: I have never seen the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more angry during a sermon than on that day. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "People! Some of you make others dislike (the prayer). Whoever among you leads the people in prayer should make it light, for among the worshippers are the weak, the elderly, and those with needs."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once pointed with his blessed hand towards Yemen and said: "Iman (faith) is here. Beware! Harshness and severity of hearts are found among those arrogant ones who are the owners of camels, from where the horn of Satan appears." That is, among the tribes named Rabi'ah and Mudar.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person submitted in the court of the Messenger: "O Messenger of Allah! How should we send blessings upon you?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Say like this «اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، فِي الْعَالَمِينَ إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ» ."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah Al-Baqarah at night, they will suffice for him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to us while delivering a sermon:“This government will remain in your hands and you will be rulers over it, and it will remain so as long as you do not introduce innovations. When you begin to do so, Allah will send upon you the worst of His creation, who will strip you away like wood is stripped.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade the price of a dog, the earnings of a prostitute, and eating sweets given to soothsayers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to offer Witr in the early, middle, and last part of the night.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came and sat right in front of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and we were also present there. He said: "O Messenger of Allah! We have learned the way to greet you with salam, but when we send blessings upon you in prayer, how should we do so?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent for so long at his question that we began to think it would have been better if this man had not asked. After a little while, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you send blessings upon me, say this: «اللَّهُمَّ صَلِّ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الْاُمِّيِّ، وَعَلَى آلِ مُحَمَّدٍ، كَمَا صَلَّيْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَآلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَبَارِكْ عَلَى مُحَمَّدٍ النَّبِيِّ الْاُمِّيِّ، كَمَا بَارَكْتَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَلَى آلِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، إِنَّكَ حَمِيدٌ مَجِيدٌ» ."
