It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three types of people with whom Allah will not speak on the Day of Resurrection: the one who lets his lower garment hang below his ankles, the one who sells his goods by swearing falsely, and the one who reminds others of his favors.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Your slaves are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority as a trial. Therefore, whoever has his brother under his authority should feed him from what he eats, clothe him from what he wears, and should not assign him a task that overpowers him. If such a task is assigned, then he should help him with it himself."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty did not send any prophet except that He sent him in the language of his people.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! The wealthy have clearly surpassed us. They perform prayers and fast as we do, and they also have wealth with which they give charity, whereas we do not have wealth to give in charity." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Shall I not tell you of an act, which if you do, you will catch up with those before you and surpass those who come after you, except for one who does the same as you? After every prayer, say Subhan Allah 33 times, Allahu Akbar 33 times, and Alhamdulillah 34 times."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was sitting in the shade of the Ka'bah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said twice, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! Those people are in loss." A severe grief overtook me and, catching my breath, I began to think that perhaps something new had happened concerning me. So I asked, "Who are those people? May my parents be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The wealthy, except for the one who distributes (his wealth) among the servants of Allah in such and such a way, but such people are very few."

Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah says that once I reached "Rabadha" where I met Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). He took some riding animals to the water place and then was bringing them back, and had hung a water-skin on the neck of a camel so that he could drink himself and also give his companions to drink, which was the custom of the Arabs. I asked Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do you have any wealth?" He replied, "I have my deeds." I said, "O Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), tell me something you heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say." He said, "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever spends two pairs from his wealth, the gatekeepers of Paradise compete for him." I asked him the meaning of "pair," so he said, "If they are slaves, then two slaves; if horses, then two horses; if camels, then two camels," and he counted all types of wealth. Sa’sa’ah bin Mu’awiyah says that once I came to Hazrat Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and requested him to narrate a hadith, so he said, "The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If two Muslim husband and wife lose three minor children, Allah Almighty will, by His grace, admit those husband and wife into Paradise."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: A messenger from my Lord came to me and gave me the glad tidings that whoever from my Ummah dies in the state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise. I asked, even if he commits adultery and theft? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if he commits adultery and theft.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that my beloved friend (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me regarding seven things: He commanded me to love the poor and to remain close to them; to look at those below me and not at those above me; to maintain ties of kinship even if others break them; not to ask anything from anyone; to speak the truth even if it is bitter; not to fear the blame of any blamer for the sake of Allah; and to frequently recite "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah," for these words come from a treasure beneath the Throne.

Abu Asma says that once he entered the house of Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was at the place of Rabdha. His healthy black-skinned wife was also with him, but there were no signs of adornment or fragrance on her. He said to me, "Look at this Abyssinian woman, what does she say to me? She says that I should go to Iraq. When I go to Iraq, the people there will come to me with their worldly possessions. And my beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me that there will be a path over the bridge of Hell which will be slippery and unstable. Therefore, when we reach that bridge, it is better that we have nothing heavy in our belongings than to reach there burdened under the weight of our possessions."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Dharr! Soon there will come some rulers who will not perform the prayer at its appointed time. You should perform the prayer at its appointed time. If you come at a time when the people have already prayed, then you have preserved your prayer, and if they have not prayed, then join them, and this prayer will be a voluntary (nafl) prayer for you.
