It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 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 bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, on the eighteenth night of Ramadan, I was having cupping done when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed by me at the place of Baqi’. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“The one who does cupping and the one who gets cupped, both their fasts are broken.”

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 promise and covenant. I acknowledge Your blessings upon me and I confess my sins, so forgive me, for none forgives sins except You. If someone recites 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 someone recites these words in the evening and dies that night, he will be among the people of Paradise.

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

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: "Whoever comes to his bed and recites any Surah of the Noble Qur'an, Allah Almighty will send an angel to him who will protect him from every harmful thing until he wakes up, whenever he wakes up."

And the Prophet (peace be upon him) used to teach us these words which we used to recite in prayer or after prayer: O Allah! I ask You for steadfastness in religion, firmness upon guidance, the ability to give thanks for Your blessings, the best manner of worshipping You, 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 the sins that You know.

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 worst people of this Ummah will surely adopt the ways of the earlier People of the Book completely."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad bin Aws (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you go to your dead, close their eyes, for the eyes follow the soul (that is why they remain open), and speak good words, for whatever the family of the deceased says, the angels say Ameen to it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Shaddad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the case of Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) was such that whenever he heard a command from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which involved strictness, he would return to his people and convey this message to them. Later, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would grant concession in that matter, but Sayyiduna Abu Dharr Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) would miss hearing about it, resulting in him adhering to the original strict command.
