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

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Is any one of you unable to recite one third of the Qur'an in a single night? Surah Al-Ikhlas is equal to one third of the Qur'an."

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) said: "When a Muslim spends something on his family seeking reward, then that spending is also charity."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The chief of supplications for seeking forgiveness (Sayyid al-Istighfar) is that a person says: O Allah! You are my Lord, there is no deity except You, You created me, I am Your servant, and I am, as much as I am able, steadfast upon Your covenant and promise. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me, and I confess my sins. So forgive me, for surely none forgives sins except You. If a person says these words in the morning with firm belief in his heart and dies that day, he will be among the people of Paradise; and if a person says these words in the evening with firm belief and dies that evening, he will be among the people of Paradise."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man was having cupping done on the eighteenth night of Ramadan, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by him at the place of Baqi‘. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was holding my hand. Seeing him in that state, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The one who performs cupping and the one who gets it done, both their fasts are broken."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have remembered two things from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): Allah has prescribed kindness in everything. Therefore, when you kill (in the battlefield), kill in a good manner, and when you slaughter an animal, slaughter it well. You should sharpen your knife and give comfort to the animal.

Hassan bin Atiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) was on a journey, and when he camped at a place, he said to his servant, "Bring a knife, we will play with it." I expressed astonishment at this, so he said, "Since I accepted Islam, I have always restrained my tongue when speaking, but this sentence slipped from my mouth today. Do not remember it, and what I am about to say now, remember it. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'When people are gathering treasures of gold and silver, you should gather the treasure of these words: O Allah! I ask You for steadfastness in the religion, firmness upon guidance, the ability to give thanks for Your blessings, the ability to worship You in the best manner, a sound heart, and a truthful tongue. I also ask You for the good of what You know, and seek refuge in You from the evil of what You know, and I seek Your forgiveness for all those sins which You know, for surely You are the Knower of the unseen.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty folded the earth for me until I saw its east and west, and the rule of my Ummah will reach as far as the earth was folded for me. I have been given two treasures, one white and one red. I asked my Lord that He not destroy my Ummah by a general famine, nor impose upon them an enemy who would completely annihilate them and divide them into different groups so that they taste the suffering from one another. So the Lord of the worlds said: O Muhammad! I have made a decision that cannot be changed. I accept your request for your Ummah that I will not destroy them by a general famine, nor will I impose upon them an enemy who will completely annihilate them, but they themselves will kill and imprison each other." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that he fears misguided leaders for his Ummah. When the sword is once placed among my Ummah (when war breaks out), it will not be lifted until the Day of Resurrection.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have memorized two things from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): Allah Almighty has prescribed kindness in everything. Therefore, when you kill (in the battlefield), kill in a good manner, and when you slaughter an animal, slaughter it well. You should sharpen your knife and give comfort to your animal.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: The one who applies cupping and the one to whom it is applied, both their fasts are broken.
