It is narrated from Hazrat Mahmood bin Labeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Abu al-Haythar Anas bin Rafi’ came to Makkah Mukarramah, some young men from Banu Abd al-Ashhal were with him, among whom was Iyas bin Mu’adh. The purpose of their arrival was to seek an oath and alliance from the Quraysh against their own Khazraj. When the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) heard of their arrival, he went to them and sat with them and said,“Shall I not tell you something better than the purpose for which you have come?”They asked,“What is that?”The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“I am the Messenger of Allah. He has sent me to His servants so that I may invite them to worship Allah alone and not associate anything with Him, and He has revealed His Book to me.”Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the Holy Qur’an to them. Upon hearing it, Iyas bin Mu’adh, who was a young boy, said,“O my people, by Allah! This is much better than that for which you have come here.”So Abu al-Haythar Anas bin Rafi’ picked up a handful of pebbles and threw them at Iyas’s mouth. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) got up from them, and those people also returned to Madinah, and the Battle of Bu’ath took place between the Aws and Khazraj. Shortly after, Iyas bin Mu’adh passed away. Hazrat Mahmood (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the people of my tribe who were present with him at the time of his death told me,“We saw him constantly reciting the Tahleel (La ilaha illallah), Takbeer (Allahu Akbar), Tasbeeh (Subhanallah), and Tahmeed (Alhamdulillah) until he passed away, and there remained no doubt among the people that he died as a Muslim. Indeed, Islam had entered his heart at the very moment he heard the words of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).”

It is narrated from Hazrat Mahmood bin Rabee' (may Allah be pleased with him) that he remembers the mouthful which the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had sprayed upon him, and the water was taken from the bucket which was drawn from their well.

Muhammad bin Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a person who visited the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that he saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in Ahjar al-Zayt, which is a village of Madinah Munawwarah, spreading his hands and making supplication.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mahmood bin Labeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty protects His servant whom He loves from the world just as you protect your patient from food and drink, and in the case of food, you fear that his condition may worsen.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also said that when Allah Almighty loves a people, He puts them to trial. Then whoever is patient is granted patience, and whoever panics, for him is panic.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mahmood bin Labeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and led us in the Maghrib prayer in our mosque. After concluding the prayer, regarding the two Sunnah units after Maghrib, he said: "Perform these two units in your homes."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mahmood bin Labeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The son of Adam dislikes two things: (1) Death, although it is better for a believer than tribulations.

Sulaiman ibn Dawud narrated to us: Isma'il informed us: Amr ibn Abi Amr informed me from Asim (428/5) from Mahmood ibn Labeed that the Prophet صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم said: and he mentioned the like of it (4).

It is narrated from Hazrat Mahmood bin Labeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty protects His servant whom He loves from the world just as you protect your sick ones from food and drink, and in the case of food, you fear that it may harm his health.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mahmood bin Labeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and led us in the Maghrib prayer in our mosque. After finishing the prayer, regarding the two Sunnah rak‘ahs after Maghrib, he said: "Perform these two rak‘ahs in your homes."

Abu Abdur Rahman says: I asked my father, Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), that someone says if a person performs the two rak‘ahs after Maghrib in the mosque, it is not permissible except that he performs them at home, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is among the prayers of the home." He (Imam Ahmad) asked: "Who says this?" I replied: "Muhammad bin Abdur Rahman." He said: "He has spoken well."
