It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair regarding the Divine command { مَسَّتْہُمُ الْبَأْسَائُ وَالضَّرَّائُ }. "Al-basa" means poverty and "al-darra" means hardship. Then he said: "As-sarra" means ease and "ad-darra" means difficulty.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that he said: A man had three friends. Some of them were closer than others. He (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Then a calamity befell this man. So he went to the closest of his friends and said: O so-and-so! Such-and-such calamity has befallen me and I wish to seek your help. That friend said: I do not do such things. So the man went to the next closest friend and said: O so-and-so! Such-and-such calamity has befallen me and I wish to seek your help. That friend said: I will go with you as far as you wish to go. Then when you reach your destination, I will return and leave you. Then the man went to the least significant of his friends and said: O so-and-so! The matter is that such-and-such calamity has befallen me and I wish to seek your help. That friend said: I will go with you wherever you go, and wherever you enter, I will enter with you. Hazrat Ubaid says: The first friend is his wealth, which he left among his family. Nothing from that wealth went with him. The second friend is his family and relatives, who go with him up to his grave, then leave him and return. The third friend is his deeds, which are with him wherever he goes, and will enter with him wherever he enters.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that he says in the explanation of { یَوْمَ یَأْتِی بَعْضُ آیَاتِ رَبِّک }: The rising of the sun from its place of setting.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that he said: Verily, Allah the Exalted has made some things lawful and some things unlawful. So, consider lawful whatever Allah has declared lawful, and avoid whatever Allah has declared unlawful. And among these, there are some things that Allah the Exalted has left (undecided); He has neither declared them unlawful nor lawful. This is a pardon from Allah. Then he, may Allah have mercy on him, recited this verse: { یَا أَیُّہَا الَّذِینَ آمَنُوا لاَ تَسْأَلُوا عَنْ أَشْیَائَ…} till the end of the verse.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that he says: Allah Almighty also has need of the servant as long as the servant remains in need of Allah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that he says: Indeed, the inhabitants of the graves also receive the deceased in the same way as a rider is received. They ask him questions. So when they ask him about someone, about any of those who have died, the deceased says: Has he not come to you? Upon this, they say: "Indeed we belong to Allah, and indeed to Him we will return." He has been taken to his abode in Hawiyah.

Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair narrates from his father that indeed the grave says: O son of Adam! What preparation have you made for me? Do you not know that I am the house of poverty, the house of loneliness, the house of worms and insects?

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that he says Hazrat Nuh had to deal with such a man from his people who strangled him. To the extent that he (Nuh) fell unconscious. The narrator says: Then when he regained consciousness, he was saying, "O my Lord! Forgive my people, for they do not know."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that when the flood of drowning came upon the people of Hazrat Nuh, it is said that there was a woman among those people who had a child with her. The narrator says: That woman lifted the child up to her waist. When the water reached her waist, she raised the child up to her chest, then when the water reached her chest, she lifted the child up to her breast. Allah Almighty said: If I were to have mercy on any of these people, I would have mercy on this woman, that is, because of her mercy towards the child.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubaid bin Umair that he said: When Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He grants him understanding in religion and inspires him with guidance in the religion.
