It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No human being has been granted permission regarding anything better than what has been granted regarding the two rak‘ahs which he performs, and as long as a person remains engaged in prayer, goodness continues to be showered upon his head, and a person does not attain closeness to Allah by anything like the closeness attained through the speech that comes from Him, that is, the Qur’an.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has sent me as a mercy and guidance for the people of the world, and He has commanded me to eradicate musical instruments, drums, instruments of amusement and play, and all those idols that were worshipped in the time of ignorance. And my Lord, swearing by His honor, has said: Whoever among My servants drinks even a single sip of wine, I will surely make him drink scalding water of Hell in exchange for it, whether he is kept in punishment or is forgiven afterwards. And if even a minor child is given a single sip of it, I will surely make him drink scalding water of Hell in exchange for it, whether he is kept in punishment or is forgiven afterwards. And whoever among My servants leaves it out of fear of Me, I will make him drink of My pure wine. And the buying and selling of singing women, teaching them music, and trading in them is not permissible, and their price is forbidden.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Beast of the Earth will emerge and it will mark people on their faces, and they will remain alive with that mark, to the extent that if a man buys a camel and someone asks him, "From whom did you buy this camel?" he will reply, "I bought it from the person whose face is marked."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The one who visits a sick person immerses himself in the ocean of Allah’s mercy.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) washed his face and hands three times each while performing ablution, wiped his head, and said that the ears are part of the head.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) with her child, carrying him, to ask for something. Whatever she asked from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he gave it to her. Then he said: "How merciful these mothers are to their children whom they carry! If it were not for what they do with their husbands, then their women who pray would enter Paradise."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the beginning, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform nine rak'ahs of Witr. Later, when the blessed body of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became heavy, he started making Witr with seven rak'ahs. And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform two rak'ahs sitting after Witr, and in them he would recite Surah Zalzalah and Surah Kafiroon.

Safwan bin Salim says that Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) entered Damascus and saw the heads of the Khawarij hanging. He said three times, "They are the dogs of Hell. Under the shade of the sky, they are the worst of those killed, and under the shade of the sky, the best of those killed was the one whom they martyred." And he began to weep. After a little while, when he returned, someone asked, "O Abu Umamah! This statement of yours, 'dogs of Hell,' did you hear it from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or are you saying it from your own opinion?" He replied, "Subhan Allah! If I had heard something from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) up to seven times and then omitted the mention of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in between, I would be very bold indeed." He was asked, "Then why were you weeping?" He replied, "Because these people have gone out of Islam, and these are the very people who created division and split their religion into different groups."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying alone and said, "Is there anyone who will give charity to him, that is, join him in prayer?" Upon hearing this, a man stood up and began to pray with him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "These two have become a congregation."
