It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come as close as the distance of one mile, and its heat will increase so much that brains will boil like pots, and all people will be submerged in sweat according to their sins. Thus, some will have sweat up to their ankles, some up to their shins, some up to the middle of their bodies, and some will have a bridle of sweat in their mouths.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the daughter of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), was being lowered into the grave, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "We created you from this earth, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once again." Now, I do not remember whether the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "In the name of Allah, and in the way of Allah, and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)" or not. Then, when the niche (lahd) was made, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw twigs towards her and said, "Fill the empty spaces between the bricks with this." Then he said, "This does not affect anything, but the living are comforted by it."

Abu Ghalib Rasbi says that in the city of Homs, he met Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he asked some questions to Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him). During this, Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith that he heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When a Muslim servant hears the call to prayer (adhan) and stands up to perform ablution (wudu), then as soon as the first drop of water falls from his hands, his sins begin to be forgiven, and according to the number of those drops of water, when he completes his ablution, all his past sins are forgiven. And when he stands for prayer, it becomes a means for the elevation of his ranks." And Ghalib asked Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did you really hear this hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes! By the One who sent the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner with the truth, not once or twice, but dozens of times I have heard it," and he counted all the numbers by clapping both his hands.

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, so he 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."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord offered me that He would turn the plain of Makkah into gold for me, but I submitted: O Lord! No, I wish that I remain hungry one day and satisfied the other day, so that when I am hungry, I may humble myself and supplicate to You and remember You, and when I am satisfied, I may praise and thank You.

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 says, "The most beloved act of worship to Me that My servant performs is sincerity towards Me (acting upon My commands)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever initiates the greeting of peace is closer to Allah and His Messenger.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Recite the Noble Qur’an, for it will intercede for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection. Recite the two radiant surahs, that is, Surah Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, for these two surahs will come on the Day of Resurrection in the form of canopies or in the form of two flocks of birds in ranks, and they will defend their reciters. Then he said: Recite Surah Al-Baqarah, for acquiring it is a blessing and abandoning it is a cause of regret, and falsehood (magicians) cannot withstand it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In my view, remembering Allah at the time of sunrise—saying Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, and Subhan Allah—is better than freeing four slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him). Similarly, remembering Allah from the Asr prayer until sunset is, in my view, better than freeing so many slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) organized an army (in which I was also present). I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah for martyrdom on my behalf." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, "O Allah! Keep him safe and grant him spoils of war." Thus, we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. (When the army was organized again, I made the same request and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the same prayer.) The third time when the army was organized, I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have already come to you twice before, and I requested you to pray to Allah for martyrdom on my behalf, but you prayed for safety and spoils of war, and we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. Therefore, O Messenger of Allah! Now pray for martyrdom for me." But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again prayed for safety and spoils of war, and we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. After that, I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Command me to do some deed." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Make fasting obligatory upon yourself, for you will meet (Allah) in the state of fasting." And if during the day smoke was seen rising from their house, people would understand that today a guest has come to them. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I continued to act upon this for a long time, as long as Allah willed. Then I came to the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You had commanded me to fast. I hope that Allah has granted us its blessings. Now tell me another deed." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Be certain that if you perform one prostration for Allah, Allah will, by its blessing, raise your rank by one degree and forgive one sin."
