Khunash San'ani says that we fought jihad with the people of a town called Jarbah in the west along with Hazrat Ruwaifi' (may Allah be pleased with him). He distributed it among us, then he stood up to deliver a sermon and said: It is not lawful for any man who believes in Allah and the Last Day to irrigate another man's field (wife) with his "water" until she has her "days" (menstruation). Because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: It is not lawful for any person to irrigate another's offspring with his "water."

Shiyim bin Bitan says that Hazrat Muslamah bin Makhlad (may Allah be pleased with him) assigned Hazrat Ruwaifi' bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) a responsibility in a low-lying area of land. So we traveled with him, then Hazrat Ruwaifi' (may Allah be pleased with him) said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "O Ruwaifi'! It may be that you live a long life, so inform people that whoever ties a knot in his beard, or hangs a string around his neck, or performs istinja (purification) with the dung or bone of an animal, then Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is free from such a person."

Abu Al-Khair says that Hazrat Muslamah bin Makhlad (may Allah be pleased with him), who was the governor of Egypt, offered Hazrat Ruwaifi' (may Allah be pleased with him) the position of collecting 'ushr (tax), so he said: I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say that the tax collector will be in Hell.

Abdullah bin Aamir, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once at the time of suhoor, Hazrat Habas bin Saad Tai, may Allah be pleased with him, entered the mosque. "He had met the Prophet (peace be upon him)." He saw that some people were praying in the front part of the mosque. He said, "By the Lord of the Ka'bah! All of these are show-offs. Drive them out. Whoever drives them out will have obeyed Allah and His Messenger." So the people came and drove them out. Then he said, "At the time of suhoor, the angels pray in the front part of the mosque."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Hawalah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is saved from three things is indeed saved (he said this three times): my death, the Dajjal, and the killing of a rightly guided caliph who remains firm upon the truth."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Hawalah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), at that time he (peace be upon him) was sitting in the shade of a tree and there was a scribe with him to whom he (peace be upon him) was dictating something. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "O Ibn Hawalah! Should we not write for you as well?" I replied that I do not know what Allah and His Messenger (peace be upon him) have chosen for me. So the Prophet (peace be upon him) turned away from me and again leaned towards the scribe to dictate. After a while, the same question and answer occurred again. After that, I saw that the name of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was written in that document. I thought in my heart that Umar's (may Allah be pleased with him) name could only be written for a good deed. Then, for the third time, when the Prophet (peace be upon him) asked, "O Ibn Hawalah! Should we not write for you as well?" I replied, "Yes!" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Ibn Hawalah! When tribulations erupt in the corners of the earth like the horns of a cow, what will you do?" I replied that I do not know; Allah and His Messenger know best what they prefer for me. The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked the next question: "After that, when another tribulation immediately appears, what will you do then?" I gave the same answer as before. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Follow that person." At that time, that man was walking away with his back turned. I ran and caught him by the shoulders and brought him to the Prophet (peace be upon him) and said, "Is this the person about whom you have just given this command?" The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Yes!" And that person was Hazrat Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Ibn Hawalah that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon this matter will become so great that countless armies will be prepared; thus, one army will be in Shaam, one in Yemen, and one in Iraq." Ibn Hawalah asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If I reach that time, please tell me a chosen path?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Make Shaam obligatory upon yourself, for it is the best land of Allah, to which He selects His chosen servants. If you cannot do that, then make Yemen obligatory upon yourself, and keep giving people water from your reservoirs, for Allah the Exalted has taken the responsibility of the people of Shaam and the land of Shaam upon Himself for my sake."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Hawalah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is saved from three things, he is saved (he said this three times): my death, the Dajjal, and the killing of a steadfast caliph upon the truth."

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a detachment of the army, and I gave a man a sword in it. When he returned, he said, "I have never seen a better way of reproaching than what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) adopted." He said, "Were you so incapable that if a person could not do my task, you would appoint someone else who could complete that task?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon when a person said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, he uttered this word only to save his life. Then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith and said that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards him, and on the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were signs of grief and anger at that time, and he said three times: Allah Almighty has refused to accept my word in favor of the one who kills a Muslim.
