It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the manner of the prayer of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was such that when he (peace be upon him) prayed, bowed (in ruku‘), raised his head from ruku‘, prostrated (in sajdah), raised his head from sajdah, and between the two prostrations, at all these points, the duration was equal.

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to recite Qunoot Nazilah in the Fajr and Maghrib prayers.

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out from Makkah Mukarramah towards Madinah Munawwarah, Suraqah bin Malik (who had not yet accepted Islam) started following the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed against him, upon which his horse sank into the ground. He said, "Pray to Allah for me, I will not harm you." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him. During this journey, at one point the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) felt thirsty. They passed by a shepherd. Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) says, "I took a bowl and milked a little milk in it for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and presented it to him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank it, and I became happy."

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to sleep, he would make his right hand a pillow and recite this supplication: O Allah! On the day You gather Your servants, protect me from Your punishment.

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had slightly curly hair, medium height, a little distance between both shoulders, and hair reaching the earlobes. One day, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wearing a red suit of clothes. I have never seen anyone more handsome than him, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man was reciting Surah Al-Kahf, and there was an animal (a horse) tied in the house. Suddenly, it started to become restless. The man looked and saw that there was a cloud or canopy that had covered him. He mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O so-and-so! Keep reciting, for that was tranquility (sakinah) which descends at the time of the recitation of the Noble Qur’an."

A man from the tribe of Qais asked Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him),“Did you people flee and leave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of the Battle of Hunain?”Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) replied,“The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not flee. In fact, the people of Banu Hawazin were very skilled archers. When we overpowered them and began collecting the spoils of war, they suddenly showered us with arrows. At that time, I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) riding a white mule, whose reins were held by Hazrat Abu Sufyan bin Harith (may Allah be pleased with him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying, ‘I am a true Prophet, there is no lie in this. I am the son of Abdul Muttalib.’”

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that whenever the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) returned from a journey, he would recite this supplication: "We are returning in repentance, and we are worshippers of our Lord and praisers of Him."

Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Bara (may Allah be pleased with him) whether if a man attacks the polytheists on his own initiative, is he the person about whom it is said in the Quran that he has thrown himself into destruction? He replied, "No, because Allah Almighty sent His Prophet and commanded him to strive in the way of Allah. You are only responsible for your own self, whereas this verse is related to spending (in the way of Allah)."

Abu Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once someone asked Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) whether the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was shining like a sword. He replied, "No, rather it was shining like the moon."
