Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered to us an extremely eloquent and concise sermon. When he descended from the pulpit, a man from the Quraysh said, "O Abu al-Yaqzan! You have delivered a very eloquent and concise sermon; it would have been excellent if you had spoken at greater length." He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade lengthy sermons."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I applied a fragrance called "Khaluq." When I appeared in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Noble Prophet scolded me and said, "O son of Umm Ammar! Go and wash it off." I went and washed it off, but when I returned, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again scolded me and said, "Go and wash it off." This happened three times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at a place with an army during the last part of the night. The noble wife of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), was also with him. That same night, her ivory necklace broke and fell. The people stopped to search for her necklace. This continued until the break of dawn, and the people did not have any water (so that they could perform prayer). On this occasion, Allah Almighty revealed the concession in ablution, that is, the command to perform tayammum with pure earth. Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his daughter Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her), "By Allah! I did not know that you are so blessed; Allah has revealed a concession upon us because of you." So we struck the earth once for the face and once for the hands up to the shoulders and armpits.

Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) once said from the pulpit of Kufa that he suffered from the issue of the discharge of madhi, and because of this he felt shy to ask the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter, as the Prophet’s daughter was married to him. So he asked Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) to inquire about this issue. Hazrat Ammar asked, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) replied that in such a case, performing wudu is sufficient.

18461 'Uthman ibn 'Umar narrated to us, he said: Yunus narrated to us, from az-Zuhri, from 'Ubaydullah ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Utbah, that 'Ammar ibn Yasir used to relate that the concession which Allah, Mighty and Majestic, revealed regarding the earth. Then he mentioned the hadith, except that he said: "They struck their palms on the earth, then wiped their faces with it, one wipe, then they returned and struck again, then wiped their hands up to the shoulders and armpits."

Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) entered the mosque and performed two light but complete rak'ahs, after which he sat down. Abu Bakr bin Abdur Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) said to him, "O Abu al-Yaqzan! You performed these two rak'ahs very lightly?" He replied, "Did I fall short in any of its limits?" He said, "No, but you performed them very briefly." He replied, "I hastened in these rak'ahs due to forgetfulness, because I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that a man performs prayer but only a tenth, a ninth, an eighth, or a seventh part of it is allotted to him, until he reached the last number."
