Abdullah bin Shaqiq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I said to Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "I wish I had seen the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so that I could have asked him just one question." He (Abu Dharr) said, "What question would you have asked him?" He (Abdullah) said, "I would have asked whether you have seen your Lord?" Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I have already asked him that question, and in response he said, 'I saw a light, how could I see Him?'"

Abu Murthad says that I asked Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did you ask the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) about the Night of Qadr?" He replied, "I was the one who asked the most about it. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, is the Night of Qadr in the month of Ramadan or in some other month?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'No, rather it is in the month of Ramadan.' I asked, 'Did it remain with the previous Prophets (peace be upon them) as long as they were Prophets, and when they passed away it was lifted, or will it remain until the Day of Resurrection?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'No! It will remain until the Day of Resurrection.' I asked, 'In which part of Ramadan does the Night of Qadr occur?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Seek it in the first ten or the last ten.' Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) began to narrate a hadith, and during this I was overcome by drowsiness. When I became alert, I asked, 'In which twenty nights does it occur?' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Seek it in the last ten nights, and do not ask me any more questions.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) began to narrate a hadith again, and I was again overcome by heedlessness. When I became alert, I said, 'O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), I ask you by the right I have over you, tell me in which ten nights it occurs?' At this, the Prophet (peace be upon him) became so angry that since I had been in his company, I had never seen him so angry, and he said, 'Seek it in the last seven nights, and do not ask me any more questions.'"

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 (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which deed is the most virtuous?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "To have faith in Allah and to strive in His path." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), which slave is best to set free?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The one who is most precious and valuable to his owner." I asked, "What if I do not find such a slave?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Help someone in need or work for a needy person." I asked, "What if I am unable to do even that?" He said, "Keep people safe from your harm, for this too is a charity that you give from yourself."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that my beloved friend (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me regarding three things: (1) Listen and obey, even if a slave with cut-off limbs is appointed as your ruler; (2) When you prepare broth, increase its water, then look to your neighbors and deliver some of it to them in a good manner; (3) And perform the prayer at its appointed time, and when you see the imam has finished the prayer, then you have also completed your prayer, otherwise it will be considered a voluntary prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever drinks alcohol, his prayers are not accepted for forty days. Then if he repents, Allah accepts his repentance. If he drinks again, the same happens. (On the third or fourth time, he said:) Then it becomes incumbent upon Allah to make him drink the water of "Teenat al-Khabal." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is Teenat al-Khabal? He said: The pus of the people of Hell.

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 that I wish to spend this night with you and participate in your prayer. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You do not have the strength to do so. Nevertheless, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to perform ghusl, a cloth was put up as a curtain, and I sat turning my face away. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished ghusl and came out, I did the same. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to pray and I stood with him, until due to the length of the prayer, I began to bump my head against the walls. Then Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) came for the prayer. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Have you done it? He replied in the affirmative. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bilal! You give the adhan when the dawn appears in the sky, but that is not the real true dawn. The true dawn appears in a horizontal manner. Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called for suhoor and partook of it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was walking behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Shall I not tell you about a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Why not?" He said, "'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty says, "O My servant! However much you worship Me and place your hope in Me, I will forgive all your sins. O My servant! If you come to Me with sins as much as the earth but do not associate anyone with Me, I will meet you with as much forgiveness, and it will not matter to Me." ... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Bilal! You give the call to prayer when the dawn appears in the sky, although that is not the real true dawn. The true dawn appears in a horizontal state." Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had the pre-dawn meal (suhoor) brought and ate it, and used to say: "My Ummah will remain upon goodness as long as they delay the pre-dawn meal (suhoor) and hasten in breaking the fast (iftar)."
