It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I asked my Lord for four things for my Ummah, out of which He granted me three and withheld one. I requested Him not to destroy them by a general famine and not to divide them into different sects so that they taste each other's punishment, but Allah Almighty withheld this from me.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Asr prayer, and after completing the prayer, he said: "This prayer was also presented to the people before you, but they were negligent in it and abandoned it. So whoever among you performs this prayer will receive double the reward, and after this, there is no prayer until the stars become visible."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, before accepting Islam, I migrated and presented myself in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) milked a goat for me, which he used to milk for his family. I drank it, and as soon as morning came, I accepted Islam. The family members of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) began to talk among themselves that today, like yesterday, we will have to spend the day hungry. So, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again gave me milk today; I drank it and became satiated. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me: "Are you satiated?" I replied: O Messenger of Allah! Today I am so satiated as I have never been before, nor has my stomach ever been so full. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A disbeliever eats with seven intestines, and a believer eats with one intestine."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Asr prayer, and after completing the prayer, he said: "This prayer was also presented to the people before you, but they were negligent in it and abandoned it. So whoever among you performs this prayer will receive double the reward, and after this there is no prayer until the stars become visible."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Kharijah bin Hudhafah ‘Adawi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the morning, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to us and said: "Allah has added a prayer for you, which is better for you than red camels." We asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Which prayer is that?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The Witr prayer, which can be offered at any time between the ‘Isha prayer and the rising of the sun."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Basrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I met Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he was going towards the mosque of Toor to offer prayer. I said to him, if I had met you before your departure, you would never have undertaken this journey, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Mounts should not be saddled except for visiting three mosques: Masjid al-Haram, my mosque, and Masjid al-Aqsa.

It is narrated from Hazrat Dihyah bin Khalifah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he left his village during the month of Ramadan and went to a nearby village from Uqbah. Then he and some people with him broke their fast, while some people (despite being travelers) did not consider it good to break the fast. When he returned to his village, he said: By Allah! Today I have seen something being done which I never thought I would see; some people are turning away from the ways of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and his companions. He said this regarding those who kept the fast. Then he said, O Allah! Call me to Yourself.

Ubaid ibn Jabr, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once during the month of Ramadan, I set out from a tent in a boat along with a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Hazrat Abu Ghafari (may Allah be pleased with him). When the boat started moving, breakfast was presented to him. He asked me to come closer. I said, "We still cannot see the buildings of the city?" He replied, "Do you want to turn away from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him)?"

Ubaid ibn Jabr (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once, during the month of Ramadan, I set out from Fustat in a boat with a companion of the Prophet (peace be upon him), Hazrat Abu Ghafari (may Allah be pleased with him). When the boat started moving, breakfast was presented to him. He asked me to come closer. I said, "We still cannot see the buildings of the city?" He said, "Do you want to turn away from the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" I said, "No." He said, "Then eat." So we continued eating and drinking until we reached our destination.
