It is narrated from Hazrat Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said on the day of the Battle of the Trench (upon returning): "Now we will advance upon them and fight jihad, and they will never be able to advance against us again."

Abdullah bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was sitting with Hazrat Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him) and Khalid bin Urfatah (may Allah be pleased with him). Both of them intended to attend the funeral of a man who had died from a stomach illness. During this, one said to the other, "Did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not say that whoever dies from a stomach illness will not be punished in the grave?" The other replied, "Why not."

Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when a pious man passed away or his funeral was brought out, on the way back we met Hazrat Khalid bin Urfatah (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sulaiman bin Surad (may Allah be pleased with him). Both of these were companions. They said that you people performed the funeral prayer of this pious man before we arrived. The people replied that he had died due to a stomach illness, and due to the heat, there was a danger of the body being harmed. So one of them looked at the other and said, "Did you not hear the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever dies due to a stomach illness will not be punished in the grave?" The other said, "Why not."

Qais bin Abad (may Allah have mercy on him) says: I asked Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu al-Yaqzan! Tell me, is the matter in which you people have become involved based on your own opinion, or is it a special instruction from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give us any special instruction that he did not give to the general people."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the polytheists began to satirize us, we complained about it to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As they recite satire against you, you also recite satire against them." Thus, we also saw the time when we used to teach those verses to the slave girls of the people of Madinah.

Najiyah ‘Anazi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that there was a difference of opinion between Hazrat ‘Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) and ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) regarding the issue of tayammum for a person in a state of janabah. Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“If I do not find water for a month after becoming junub, even then I will not pray without performing ghusl.”Hazrat ‘Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“Do you not remember that incident when once you and I were in a camel enclosure, and during the night I became junub, so I rolled in the dust like an animal, and when we returned to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘For you, tayammum would have been sufficient.’”

Mukhariq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that on the day of the Battle of Jamal, I met Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was urinating in a horn. I asked him, "Can I fight in your company so that I may attain your companionship?" He replied, "Fight under the flag of your own people, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) liked that a person should fight under the flag of his own people."

Abu Wa'il (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered to us an extremely eloquent and concise sermon. When he descended from the pulpit, we said, "O Abu al-Yaqzan! You delivered a very eloquent and concise sermon; if you had taken a breath in between (and spoken at greater length, it would have been excellent)." He replied, "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'A person's long prayer and short sermon are signs of his understanding. Therefore, make the prayer long and the sermon short, for some speech has the effect of magic.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was performing prayer. I greeted the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) responded to me.
