Abdullah bin Samit says that once he was with Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) when his stipend arrived. He had a slave girl with him who began to arrange his necessities with that money. She had seven coins left. Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) ordered her to exchange his money (to get change). I said to him, "If you had saved this money, it could have been useful in some need or when a guest arrived." He replied, "My beloved Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me that any gold or silver that is sealed and kept is a spark of fire for its owner until he spends it in the way of Allah."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "Which speech is the best?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "That which Allah has chosen for His servants, that is, to say three times: Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi."

Ibn Ahmas, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I met Hazrat Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "I have heard that you narrate a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Do not ever think that I would falsely attribute something to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while I have heard it myself. Which hadith is it that you have heard from me?" I said, "I have heard that you say there are three types of people whom Allah loves, and three types of people whom Allah dislikes?" He said, "Yes! I have said this, and I have heard it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." I asked, "Who are those whom Allah loves?" He replied, "First, the person who meets the enemy with a group and stands firm before them until he is martyred or his companions are granted victory. Second, those people who set out on a journey, their journey becomes long, and they wish to camp in a place by evening, so they camp, and one of them separates himself and starts praying until, when it is time to depart, he wakes them up. Third, the person who has a neighbor who causes him harm, but he is patient over his neighbor's harm until death separates them." I asked, "Who are those whom Allah dislikes?" He replied, "The trader who swears oaths, the miser who boasts of his favors, and the poor person who is arrogant." I asked, "O Abu Dharr! What wealth do you have?" He replied, "A few goats and some camels." I said, "I am not asking about that, I am asking about gold and silver." He replied, "What is in the morning is not there in the evening, and what is in the evening is not there in the morning." I asked, "What is your relationship with your Qurayshi brothers?" He replied, "By Allah, I neither ask them for anything of this world nor about religion, and I will continue to do so until I meet Allah and His Messenger." He repeated this sentence three times.

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: Some people from my Ummah, whose sign will be shaving their heads, will recite the Noble Qur'an but it will not go below their throats. They will go out of the religion just as an arrow passes through its prey. They will be the worst of creation.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I do not like that Mount Uhud be turned into gold for me and that when I depart from this world, even one or half a dinar from it remains with me, except if I have kept it for the sake of a creditor.

Zaid bin Wahb (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once we were returning from a funeral when we passed by Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him). He said: Once we were on a journey with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). When the muezzin intended to give the adhan for Zuhr prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him, "Give the adhan after cooling down." This happened two or three times, until we began to see the shade of the mounds. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "The intensity of heat is from the effect of the heat of Hell, so when the heat is severe, perform the prayer after cooling down."

Ahnaf bin Qais, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I was in Madinah Munawwarah when I saw a man whom, upon seeing, people began to avoid. I asked him, "Who are you?" He replied, "I am the companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him)." I asked him, "Then why are these people avoiding you?" He said, "I stop them from accumulating wealth just as the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) used to stop them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: May Allah keep the tribe of Aslam safe, and may Allah forgive the tribe of Ghifar.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: Fear Allah wherever you are, and if you commit a bad deed, follow it up with a good deed which will erase it, and behave with people with good manners.

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 among you wishes to fast three days in a month should fast on the white days.
