Abu Al-Khair says that once I saw Abu Tamim Jaishani (may Allah have mercy on him) performing two rak'ahs after hearing the adhan of Maghrib prayer, so I went to Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Are you not surprised at Abu Tamim's action that he performs two rak'ahs before Maghrib prayer?" My intention was to lower Abu Tamim in the eyes of Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), but Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We also used to do this during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." I asked, "Then why do you not do it now?" He replied, "Because of being occupied."

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) commanded me to recite the Mu'awwidhat (the Surahs in which the words "Qul A'udhu" occur) after every prayer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was walking behind the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the Prophet (peace be upon him) was riding, I placed my hand on his blessed feet and requested, "Teach me Surah Hud and Surah Yusuf." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "O Uqbah, you will not recite any surah more eloquent than Surah Al-Falaq."

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There is no good in the person who does not show hospitality to guests.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the Noble Qur'an is wrapped in any leather and thrown into the fire, the fire will not burn it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "I fear for my Ummah regarding the Book and milk." Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is meant by the Book and the other danger?" He replied, "The hypocrites will learn it and will argue with the believers, and they will love milk and because of it they will leave the congregation and will abandon the Friday prayers."

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a delegation (of ten men) came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted the allegiance of nine of them and withheld his hand from one. They asked, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) You accepted the allegiance of nine and left this person?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He is wearing an amulet." Upon hearing this, he put his hand into his collar and tore the amulet into pieces. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) accepted his allegiance as well and said, "Whoever hangs an amulet commits shirk (associating partners with Allah)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The expiation for a vow is the same as the expiation for an oath.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Aamir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) distributed sacrificial animals among his companions, and a six-month-old lamb came to my share. I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about the ruling of sacrificing it, so the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "You may sacrifice it."

Abu Ali Hamdani (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I set out on a journey, and Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) was with us. We requested him to lead us in prayer. (He refused and) said: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever leads people in prayer, offering it on time and completely, he will receive the reward as will the followers; but whoever is negligent in it, its burden will be upon him alone, not upon the followers.
