It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These genealogies of yours are not a cause for fault or reproach for anyone. You are all the children of Adam and are close to one another. No one has any superiority over another except by religion or righteous deeds. It is sufficient for a person to be considered immoral if he is foul-mouthed, miserly, and cowardly."

Dukhain, who was the scribe of Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrates that once I said to Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) that our neighbors drink alcohol, I am going to call the police so that they may come and arrest them. Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, do not do so, rather advise them and warn them. The scribe did so, but they did not desist. So Dukhain again came to Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, I forbade them but they did not desist, and now I will surely call the police. Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, Alas! Do not do so, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, it is as if he saves a girl buried alive.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then offers prayer in such a way that he neither forgets nor is heedless in it, all his past sins will be forgiven.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever performs ablution and does it well, then offers prayer in such a way that he neither forgets nor is heedless in it, all his past sins will be forgiven.

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: Whoever does not accept the concession granted by Allah Almighty, he will have sins equal to the mountains of Arafat.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every Muslim is a brother to another Muslim. It is not lawful for any Muslim to conceal any defect in goods from his brother, such that if he were to know of that defect, he would leave it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Uqbah! Join ties with the one who severs relations with you, give to the one who deprives you, and forgive and turn away from the oppressor." It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once again I met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Uqbah! Guard your tongue, consider your house sufficient for yourself, and weep over your sins." It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once again I met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Uqbah bin Amir! Shall I not tell you about such Surahs, the like of which are not found in the Torah, the Psalms, the Gospel, or the Qur'an?" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) taught me Surah Ikhlas, Surah Falaq, and Surah Nas, and said: "Uqbah, do not forget them, and do not let any night pass in which you do not recite these Surahs." So, from that time, I never forgot them and never spent a night without reciting them.

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 regarding a man named Dhulbijadain: "He is one who weeps and cries much. That person used to remember Allah abundantly in the recitation of the Qur'an and would supplicate in a loud voice."

Ata says that once Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) traveled to Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him), but he reached Hazrat Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) instead. Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "Tell me the whereabouts of Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him)." So he reached Hazrat Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Narrate to us that hadith which you heard directly from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and now there is no one left to hear it except you?" He replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever conceals the fault of his brother in this world, Allah Almighty will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection." After hearing this hadith, he went to his mount, mounted it, and returned.

It is narrated from Hazrat Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I walked behind the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings 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 and blessings be upon him) said, "In the sight of Allah, you will not recite any surah more eloquent than Surah Al-Falaq."
