It is narrated from Hazrat Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari said in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! Just as you have given so-and-so a position, why do you not give me any position?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Soon you will face preferences after me, at that time be patient until you meet me at the Pond of Kawthar tomorrow."

Hazrat Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him), who was counted among the virtuous people, used to say that if I had only three states, I would be myself: when I recite the Qur'an myself and when I listen to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) reciting it, when I listen to the sermon of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and when I participate in a funeral. And whenever I participated in a funeral, I never thought of anything except what circumstances the deceased would face and what his end would be?

It is narrated from Hazrat Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari presented himself in the court of the Messenger and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Just as you have given so-and-so a position, why do you not give me any position?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Soon you will face favoritism after me, at that time be patient until you meet me at the Pond of Kawthar tomorrow."

It is narrated from Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that we were returning from Hajj or Umrah. When we reached Dhul-Hulaifah, some young men from the Ansar began to meet their families. Among them, some people also met Hazrat Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) and offered him condolences on the death of his wife. At this, he covered his face and began to weep. I said to him, "May Allah forgive you! You are a companion of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and you have precedence and a status in Islam. Why are you weeping over your wife?" He removed the cloth from his head and said, "You have spoken the truth. By my life! It is my right that after Saad bin Muadh, I should not shed tears over anyone, while the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said a strange thing about him." I asked, "What did the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'At the death of Saad bin Muadh, the Throne of Allah shook, and he was walking between me and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perform ablution after eating camel meat, but do not perform ablution after eating goat meat. And you may pray in sheep enclosures, but do not pray in camel enclosures.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that someone asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the ruling of drinking camel's milk. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After drinking it, perform ablution. Then he asked about the ruling of goat's milk, so he said: After drinking it, there is no need to perform ablution.
