Hazrat Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) once gathered his companions and said, "Come, I will show you how the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray." Hazrat Abu Malik was from among the Ash'ariyyin. He had a large bowl of water brought, and first washed both hands three times, then rinsed his mouth and put water in his nose, washed his face three times, and washed his arms three times. Then he wiped his head and ears, and washed his feet. He led the Zuhr prayer, in which he recited Surah Al-Fatiha, and said takbeer a total of 22 times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was present in the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when this verse was revealed: "O you who believe, do not ask about things..." At that time, we were asking questions to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Meanwhile, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that there are some servants of Allah who will neither be prophets nor martyrs, but on the Day of Resurrection, due to their closest seat to Allah, even the prophets and martyrs will envy them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Malik Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet, the Leader of the Two Worlds (peace and blessings be upon him), said: The greatest betrayal in the sight of Allah is betrayal in a span of land. You see that two men are neighbors in a piece of land or a house, yet one of them unjustly takes a span from the other's share. On the Day of Resurrection, the one who does this will have a collar made from that portion out of the seven earths placed around his neck.

Hazrat Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) once said to his people, "Shall I not show you how the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray?" Accordingly, he formed a row of men first, then a row of children behind the men, and a row of women behind the children.

When the time of departure from this world for Hazrat Abu Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) drew near, he said: O listening Ash'aris! Those among you who are present should convey this message to those who are absent: I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say: The sweetness of this world is the bitterness of the Hereafter, and the bitterness of this world is the sweetness of the Hereafter.

Malik bin Abi Maryam says that once we were sitting with Rabee’ah Jarshi discussing grape wine on behalf of Dahhak bin Qais. During this, a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him), came to us. We invited him to join our conversation, so we continued discussing the matter. Then Hazrat Abdur Rahman bin Ghanm (may Allah be pleased with him) said that Hazrat Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith to me, that he heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say:“Some people from my Ummah will certainly drink wine, calling it by another name.”The person who narrated this hadith to me is more truthful than me and you, and the one who narrated it to him is more truthful than him, me, and you. By Allah, besides whom there is no deity, I heard this hadith from Hazrat Abu Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), and he heard it from the Prophet (peace be upon him), and he repeated this three times, until Dahhak said:“In the end times, shame on wine!”

Hazrat Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) once gathered his companions and said, "Come, I will show you how the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform prayer..." Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith and said: In the first two rak'ahs, he recited Surah Al-Fatihah and made its recitation audible to those behind him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Cleanliness is a part of faith. Saying "Alhamdulillah" fills the scale of deeds. (Subhan Allah, Allahu Akbar) "La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar" fill the space between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light, charity is proof, patience is brightness, and the Qur'an is an argument for you or against you. Every person starts his morning by selling himself; then either he destroys himself or he frees himself.
