It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever plays with dice, it is as if he has dipped his hand in the flesh and blood of a pig.

Abu Mulaaih says that once we were participating in a battle with Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him). That day it was cloudy. He said, "Pray quickly, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever leaves the Asr prayer, all his deeds are wasted."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "Go, for the one who guides towards goodness is like the one who does it."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he passed by a gathering where people were talking about Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). He stood by them and said: In the beginning, there was a burden in my heart regarding Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). The same was the case with Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him). Once, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me with a detachment whose commander was Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). There we captured some prisoners. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) kept a slave girl for himself from the khums. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Wait. Then, when we presented ourselves before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I began to narrate the incident and said that Ali has taken a slave girl from the khums. At that time, I had my head lowered. Suddenly, when I raised my head, I saw that the blessed face of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was changing. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever loves me should also love Ali.

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed several prayers with a single ablution. So Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "Today you have done something which you have never done before?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "I have done this deliberately."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed someone as the commander of a detachment or an army and sent him off, he would especially advise him to fear Allah regarding himself and would emphasize treating the Muslims who were with him in the best manner. Then he would say: Fight in the way of Allah in the name of Allah, fight those who disbelieve in Allah. When you meet your enemy, invite them to accept one of three things. Whichever of these they accept, accept it from them and refrain from fighting them. First, invite them to Islam. If they accept, then accept it from them. Then invite them to migrate from their land to the abode of the emigrants, and inform them that if they do so, they will have the same rights and duties as the emigrants. If they refuse and prefer to remain in their own land, then inform them that they will be considered like the Bedouin Muslims; Allah’s commands will apply to them as they apply to all Muslims, but they will not have any share in the spoils of war unless they fight alongside the Muslims. If they refuse this, then invite them to pay the jizya. If they accept, then accept it from them and refrain from fighting them. But if they refuse even this, then seek Allah’s help and fight them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that we laid siege to Khaybar. Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) took the flag, but he returned without conquering the specific and important fort. The next day, he again took the flag and set out, but even today the fort could not be conquered, and on that day, the people faced much hardship and difficulty. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tomorrow I will give this flag to a person whom Allah and His Messenger love, and he loves Allah and His Messenger, and he will not return without achieving victory." So, all night we remained happy at the thought that tomorrow this fort would also be conquered. When morning came, after the Fajr prayer, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and called for the flag. The people were sitting in their rows. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), who was suffering from an eye ailment. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) applied his saliva to his eyes and handed the flag over to him, and through his hands, the fort was conquered, although I too was among those who desired it. When Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) confronted the people of Khaybar, Marhab came before him reciting boastful verses: "All of Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, armed, brave, and experienced; sometimes I fight with a spear and sometimes with a sword, when lions come roaring before me." Then Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) faced him, and Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) struck such a blow on his skull that his sword passed through his jaw, and the army heard the sound of Hazrat Ali's (may Allah be pleased with him) strike. Eventually, victory was granted to them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I had given a slave girl in charity to my mother. My mother has passed away, so that slave girl has come back to me as inheritance." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah will reward you for it, and the slave girl has also come to you as inheritance." She said, "My mother passed away without performing Hajj. Can my performing Hajj on her behalf suffice for her?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! You should perform Hajj on behalf of your mother."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and took hold of my hand. I also entered the mosque with him. There was a man reciting the Qur'an and performing prayer. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This person has been given one of the beautiful tones of the family of Dawood (peace be upon him)." When I looked, it was Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I inform him of this?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Inform him." So I informed him, and he said, "You have always been my friend."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man wearing a gold ring on his hand, so he said to him, "Why are you wearing the adornment of the people of Paradise in this world?" The next time he came, he was wearing a brass ring. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I smell the scent of idol-worshippers from you." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Then from what should I make a ring?" He replied, "From silver."
