The previous hadith is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) through this second chain of narration.

Imam Sha'bi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that neither any young nor old person would have heard such a sermon.

Salim Al-Barrad says that once Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said to us, "Shall I not show you how the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray?" Saying this, he pronounced the takbeer, placed both his palms on his knees in ruku', kept the fingers spread apart, and kept his hands away from his stomach, until every limb was settled in its place. Then he raised his head from ruku' and stood up straight, until every limb was settled in its place. Then, saying the takbeer, he performed sajdah and kept his hands away from his stomach. Then he raised his head and sat up straight until every limb was settled in its place. Then he performed the second sajdah, and after praying all four rak'ahs in this manner, he said, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray like this."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a Muslim spends on his family seeking reward, then that spending is also charity."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was presented before Allah for reckoning, but no good deed was found in his account. However, he was a wealthy man who used to trade with people. He had instructed his servants to give respite to those in difficulty. Upon this, Allah Almighty said: "We are more deserving of this than you. Angels! Pardon My servant as well." Thus, he was forgiven.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said,“My travel provisions and mount have run out, so please provide me with a mount.”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“At this moment, I do not have any animal on which I can mount you, but go to such-and-such person.”He went to that person, and he gave him a mount. That man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and informed him of this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Whoever guides someone to goodness, he will have a reward like that of the one who does it.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was a man among the Ansar whose name was Abu Shu’aib. He had a slave who was a butcher. He said to his slave,“Cook some food for me one day so that I may invite the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who will be one of five people.”So he invited the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a sixth man came. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached his house, he said,“This man has come with us. Do you permit him as well?”He gave permission.

This hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day I was beating one of my slaves when I heard a voice from behind me three times,“O Abu Mas’ud! Remember!”I turned around and saw that it was the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He (peace be upon him) said:“By Allah! You have as much power over this slave as Allah has more power over you.”At that very moment, I swore that I would never beat any slave again.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade the price of a dog, the earnings of a prostitute, and eating sweets given to soothsayers.
