It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When Friday comes, if any one of you takes a bath, then sets out in the earliest time, sits near the preacher, listens attentively and silently, then for every step he takes, he will receive the reward of fasting for a year and standing in prayer for a year."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: When Friday comes, if a person performs ghusl, then sets out early, sits near the khateeb, listens attentively and silently, then for every step he takes, he will receive the reward of fasting for a year and standing in prayer for a year.

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

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Nufail (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when someone asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Has food from the sky also come to you?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: "Yes." He asked: "What was it?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Food prepared from flour." He asked: "Is any of it left?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied: "Yes!" He asked: "What happened to it?" He said: "It was taken up, and revelation has been sent to me that I am about to depart from you and will not remain among you for long. And after me, you too will remain for some time, rather you will remain so long that you will begin to say, 'When will death come?' Then such calamities will befall you that you will destroy one another yourselves, and before the Hour, a very severe series of deaths will begin, and after that, years of earthquakes will come."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Nufail (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he presented himself before the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said: "I have sent my horse to graze, taken off my weapons, and there is a truce, so now there will be no fighting." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Now is the time for fighting. A group from my Ummah will always prevail over the people. Allah will remove fear from the hearts of some people, and they will fight them, and Allah will provide them sustenance from there. Until when Allah's command comes, they will be in that state. Remember! The place where the blood of Muslims will be shed is Syria, and goodness and blessing have been placed in the forelocks of horses until the Day of Judgment."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Yazid bin Akhnas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There is no permission for rivalry except between two men: one is the man whom Allah Almighty has granted the wealth of the Qur'an, and he recites it day and night and follows its commands, and another man sees him and says, 'If only Allah had granted me this blessing, I would also recite it day and night in the same way.' And the second is the man whom Allah Almighty has granted wealth and he spends it in charity and good deeds, and another man sees him and says, 'If only Allah had granted me wealth as He has given to so-and-so, I would also spend it in charity in the same way.'" A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! If a person has personal nobility..." The son of Imam Ahmad says that the remaining part of the hadith is missing; I found this hadith in my father's manuscript, which was written in his own hand.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ghudayf bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that I may forget everything, but I cannot forget this: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in prayer, placing his right hand over his left hand.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ghudayf bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) that I may forget everything, but I cannot forget this: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in prayer, placing his right hand over his left hand.

It is narrated from multiple elders that they were present with Sayyiduna Ghudhayf bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him) (during his illness of death). When his soul had difficulty departing, he began to say, "Has anyone among you recited Surah Yaseen?" Upon this, Salih bin Shurayh Sakuni began to recite Surah Yaseen. When he reached its fortieth verse, his soul was taken. Since then, the elders have been saying that when Surah Yaseen is recited near the deceased, it makes the departure of the soul easier. Safwan says that Isa bin Mu'tamir also recited Surah Yaseen near Ibn Ma'bad.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ghudayf (may Allah be pleased with him) that Abdul Malik bin Marwan sent a message to me saying, "O Abu Asma! We have united the people upon two things." I asked, "Which two things?" He replied, "Raising the hands on the pulpit on Friday and delivering admonition after the Fajr and Asr prayers." Sayyiduna Ghudayf (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "In my view, these two things are your most exemplary innovations. I do not accept even one of them." Abdul Malik asked the reason, so he replied, "The reason is that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whenever a people introduce an innovation, an equal amount of Sunnah is taken away from them. Therefore, holding firmly to the Sunnah is better than introducing an innovation.'"
