And I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: I am only a treasurer, the real giver is Allah. Therefore, if I give something to a person with a happy heart, then it will be made blessed for him. And if I give something to someone to protect myself from his evil or because of his insistence in asking, then he is like the one who keeps eating but is never satisfied.

And I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A group from my Ummah will always remain upon the truth; they will not be harmed by those who oppose them, until the command of Allah comes."

Sayyiduna Umar bin Ata (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once Nafi’ bin Jubair sent me to Sa’ib bin Yazid to ask him whether he had seen Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) offering prayer. He replied,“Yes! Once I offered Jumu’ah with him in the ‘Maqsurah’. When he finished the prayer with salam, I stood in my place and started offering the Sunnah prayers. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) went inside, then called me and said: ‘Do not do again what you just did. When you offer the Jumu’ah prayer, do not offer another prayer immediately after it until you have spoken or moved from your place, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded that no prayer should be offered immediately after another until you have spoken or moved from your place.’”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that you people perform such a prayer that, despite being in the company of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we never saw him performing this prayer; rather, he used to forbid it. What is meant are the two (nafl) rak‘ahs after ‘Asr, which he saw some people performing.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever forgets something in the prayer should sit and perform two prostrations.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever deliberately attributes a false statement to me, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he led the prayer as an imam and instead of sitting, he stood up. The people also said «سبحان اللہ» , but he completed his standing. Then after completing the prayer, while sitting, he performed two prostrations of forgetfulness, and after ascending the pulpit, he said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say that if a person forgets something in prayer, he should perform two prostrations in this manner while sitting.

Once, Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) went somewhere and the people stood up out of respect for him, but Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever likes that the servants of Allah should stand before him, he should make his abode in Hell.

Yazid bin Jariyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once he was sitting with some Ansari people when Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and asked about the topic of discussion. The people informed him that they were talking about the Ansar. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Shall I not narrate to you a hadith to increase your knowledge, which I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The people said: "Certainly, O Commander of the Faithful!" He said: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Whoever loves the Ansar, Allah loves him, and whoever harbors enmity towards the Ansar, Allah harbors enmity towards him.'"

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