It is narrated from Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed me as the commander over the army of Dhat al-Salasil. I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Who is the most beloved to you among the people?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Aisha." I asked, "Among the men?" He said, "Her father." I asked, "Then who?" He said, "Umar." In this way, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the names of several men.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that when this incident was mentioned to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Amr! Did you lead your companions in prayer while you were in a state of impurity?" I submitted, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! The night when ghusl became obligatory upon me, it was an extremely cold night and I feared that if I performed ghusl, I would perish. And I remembered the saying of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic: 'And do not kill yourselves. Indeed, Allah is to you ever Merciful.' (وَلَا تَقْتُلُوا أَنْفُسَكُمْ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِكُمْ رَحِيمًا) So I performed tayammum and offered the prayer." Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and did not say anything.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) I pledge allegiance to you on the condition that all my previous sins are forgiven." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Islam wipes out all the sins that came before it, and migration also wipes out all the sins that came before it." He says that I was more modest before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) than anyone else, so I never looked at him with full eyes, nor did I ever argue with him in my desires, until he met Allah, the Exalted.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man presented himself in the court of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Which deed is the most virtuous?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Faith and affirmation in Allah, striving in the path of Allah, and an accepted Hajj." That man said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) You have mentioned many things." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then gentle speech, feeding others, being easy-going, and good character are the most virtuous deeds." He said, "I only want to know one thing." The Prophet said, "Then go and do not let yourself be accused of anything."

Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) once, while delivering a sermon in Egypt, said to the people: "How far you have gone from the way of your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? He was extremely disinterested in the world, while you hold the world extremely dear and desirable."

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: When a ruler makes a judgment and strives with caution and diligence and gives a correct decision, he will have a double reward, and if he makes a mistake despite his caution, he will still have a single reward.

Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) once addressed the people in Egypt and said, "How far you have gone from the way of your Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him)? He was extremely disinterested in the world, while you love and desire the world greatly. By Allah, there was never a night in the life of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in which his financial burden was not greater than his financial abundance, and some of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) used to say that we ourselves saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) taking loans." Yahya mentions three days.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, sought refuge from seven types of death: sudden death, death by snake bite, death by attack of a wild animal, death by drowning, death by burning, death by falling onto something, death by something falling, and death while fleeing from the battlefield.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The Noble Qur'an has been revealed upon seven letters, so whichever letter you recite according to, you will recite correctly. Therefore, do not dispute about the Noble Qur'an, for disputing about the Qur'an is disbelief.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: When a ruler passes a judgment and strives with full caution and effort and makes the correct decision, he will receive a double reward, and if he makes a mistake despite caution, he will still receive a single reward. The previous hadith is also narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) through this second chain of narration.
