It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Malik Ashja'i (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet, the Leader of both worlds, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The greatest betrayal in the sight of Allah is betrayal in a span of land. You see that two men are neighbors in a piece of land or a house, yet one of them unjustly takes a span from his companion's share. On the Day of Resurrection, the one who does this will have a collar made from that portion, from all seven earths, placed around his neck.

It is narrated from Hazrat Harith Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty commanded Hazrat Yahya bin Zakariya (peace be upon them) regarding five things: that he should act upon them himself and also command the Children of Israel to act upon them. It was near that Hazrat Yahya (peace be upon him) would delay in this matter, so Hazrat Isa (peace be upon him) said: You have been commanded regarding five things that you should act upon them yourself and also command the Children of Israel to act upon them. Now, either you deliver this message yourself, otherwise I will deliver it. Hazrat Yahya (peace be upon him) said: Brother! I fear that if you precede me in this, I will be afflicted with punishment or I will be swallowed up by the earth. Thus, after this, Hazrat Yahya (peace be upon him) gathered the Children of Israel in Bayt al-Maqdis. When the mosque was filled, he sat on a mound, praised and glorified Allah, and said: Allah Almighty has commanded me regarding five things that I should act upon them myself and also command you to act upon them. The first of these is that you worship only Allah and do not associate anything with Him. Its example is like a person who buys a slave with his pure wealth, i.e., gold and silver, and that slave starts working for someone other than his master and gives his wages to him. So, which one of you would like his slave to do such a thing? And I command you to pray, because Allah Almighty turns all His attention to His servant as long as he does not look here and there. Therefore, when you pray, do not look to the right or left. And I command you to fast, because its example is like a person who comes to a gathering with a bottle of musk, and everyone senses its fragrance, and the smell from the mouth of a fasting person is more excellent to Allah than the fragrance of musk. And I command you to give charity, because its example is like a person whom the enemy has captured, tied his hands to his neck, and then takes him to kill him. He says to them: Are you willing to accept a ransom for my life? Then he starts offering whatever he can, little or much, as ransom for his life until he frees himself. And I command you to remember Allah abundantly, because its example is like a person whom the enemy is pursuing swiftly, and he takes refuge in a strong fortress. In this way, as long as a servant remains engaged in the remembrance of Allah, he is in a strong fortress, safe from the attacks of Satan.

After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I also command you regarding five things which Allah has commanded me to adopt: (1) Collectiveness (2) Listening to the ruler (3) Obeying (4) Migration (5) And striving in the way of Allah, because whoever separates from the Muslim community even a handspan, he throws off the collar of Islam from his neck, unless he returns to the community. And whoever calls out with the slogans of the time of ignorance, he is the fuel of Hell. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) Even if he prays and fasts? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if he prays and fasts and considers himself a Muslim. So, call the Muslims by those names with which Allah has called His Muslim servants.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The distinction between your fasts and the fasts of the People of the Book is eating the pre-dawn meal (suhoor).

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to me to come to him dressed in my clothes and armed. When I presented myself, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was performing ablution. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at me from head to toe, then lowered his gaze and said, "It is my intention to appoint you as the commander of an army and send you forth. May Allah return you safe and with spoils of war, and I desire good wealth for you." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) I did not accept Islam for the sake of wealth and riches. I accepted Islam with heartfelt desire and for the purpose that I may attain the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "How excellent is lawful wealth for a righteous man."

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that do not create confusion for us regarding the Sunnah of our Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); if the master of an umm walad passes away, her waiting period (‘iddah) will be four months and ten days.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) openly saying: The family of so-and-so are not my friends; my friend is Allah and the righteous believers.

Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) once asked one of his slaves the reason for seeking permission from Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to meet his wife, Hazrat Asma bint Umais (may Allah be pleased with her). So Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade us from going to women without the permission of their husbands.

It is narrated from Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have memorized one thousand parables from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

Ahsan (may Allah have mercy on him) says that a man asked Hazrat Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him): "Tell me, if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world loving a certain person, would that person be a righteous man?" He replied, "Why not?" The man said, "Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) departed from this world loving you, and he used to assign you various responsibilities?" He replied, "This is indeed true, but shall I tell you something? By Allah! I do not know whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) treated me in this way out of love or for the purpose of winning my heart. However, I can testify to this: until he departed from this world, he loved two men—one was Ammar, the son of Sumayyah (may Allah be pleased with him), and the other was Abdullah bin Mas'ud, the son of Umm Abd (may Allah be pleased with him)."

Abdullah bin Abi Al-Hazil (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Hazrat Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to take care of us and look after us. Once, a man from the tribe of Bakr bin Wa'il said that if the people of Quraysh do not desist, the rule will slip from their hands and pass to the majority of the Arabs. Hazrat Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this and said, "You are mistaken. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the Quraysh will remain the leaders of the people in every good and bad matter until the Day of Judgment."
