Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I fear for my Ummah regarding the Book and milk. He was asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is the matter with the Book? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The hypocrite also learns it, then argues with the believers through it. Then someone asked: What is the matter with milk? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People will go out to the valleys to drink milk and will separate from the congregation and will abandon Jumu’ah.

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) also narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The destruction of my Ummah will be caused by the Book and milk." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the Book and milk?" He replied: "People will learn the Holy Qur'an and will interpret it with incorrect explanations other than the purpose for which Allah Almighty revealed it, and they will become occupied with tending livestock, moving to the villages, and will abandon the congregation and Friday (prayer)."

It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am concerned about two things for my Ummah: the Noble Qur’an and milk. People will seek greenery and pastures, will follow their desires, will abandon prayers, and hypocritical people will learn the Noble Qur’an and use it as a means to argue with the believers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting waiting for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when he came out to us from the house of one of his wives. We stood up with him. His sandal broke, and Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed behind to repair it. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) continued walking and we walked with him. Then he stood waiting for Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and we also stood with him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some of you will fight according to the interpretation and explanation of this Noble Qur'an, just as I have fought. We raised our necks to see, for among us were also Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, rather it is this man, the one repairing the sandal. So we went to give glad tidings to Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), but it was as if he had already heard the words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (so he did not express happiness).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand for prayer at night and enter into prayer, he would say "Allahu Akbar" three times, "La ilaha illallah" three times, and "Subhanallahi wa bihamdihi" three times, then he would recite: "A‘udhu billahi minash-shaytanir-rajim min hamzihi wa nafkhihi wa nafthihi."
