It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that we participated in fifteen battles along with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and I are of the same age.

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you come to your bed, say like this: O Allah, I have submitted myself to You, turned my face towards You, entrusted my affairs to You, and relied on You alone for support. My desire is for You, and I fear You. There is no refuge or sanctuary except with You. I have believed in Your Book which You have revealed and in Your Prophet whom You have sent. If the one who says these words dies that night, he will die upon the natural faith. The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain. However, at the end of this narration, there is this addition: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Perform ablution as you do for prayer, and say these words at the very end. I repeated these words before the Noble Prophet. When I reached“I have believed in Your Book which You have revealed,”I said,“and in Your Messenger.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No, say“and in Your Prophet.”

Ali ibn Ishaq narrated to us, Abdullah ibn Mubarak informed us, Sufyan informed us, from Mansur, from Sa'd ibn Ubaydah, and he mentioned with his chain and its meaning, and said: "Perform ablution as you do for prayer." And he said: "Make these the last words you speak." He said: So I repeated it to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, and when I reached: "I believe in Your Book which You have revealed," I said: "And in Your Messenger." He said: "No, but say: 'And in Your Prophet whom You have sent.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about "Kalalah." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For this matter, the verse revealed to you in the summer is sufficient (referring to the last verse of Surah An-Nisa).

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by some Ansari people and said: If you have no choice but to sit by the roadside, then spread greetings of peace, help the oppressed, and guide the way.

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."

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that an Ansari came to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) who was covered in iron (armor) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I accept Islam first or participate in jihad first?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Accept Islam first, then participate in jihad." So he did so, and was martyred in that jihad. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He did little action but received a great reward."

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Uhud, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Hazrat Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) over fifty archers and stationed them at a place, saying: "If you see us in such a state that birds are snatching us away, even then do not move from your place until I send a message to you. And if you see us prevailing over the enemy and trampling them, even then do not move from your place until I send a message to you."

So, in the battle, the polytheists were defeated. By Allah! I saw women climbing the mountains swiftly, their shins and anklets were visible, and they had lifted up their clothes. Seeing this, the companions of Hazrat Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) began to say, "O people! Booty, your companions have prevailed, so what are you waiting for?" Hazrat Abdullah bin Jubair (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Are you forgetting what the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) told you?" They said, "We will surely go to them so that we may also collect the booty." When they reached them, they were attacked from behind and were defeated and fled. This was the time when the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept calling them from behind, but no one remained with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) except twelve men, and seventy of our men were martyred.

On the occasion of the Battle of Badr, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) inflicted a loss of one hundred and forty men on the polytheists, of whom seventy were killed and seventy were captured. At that time, the commander of the polytheists, Abu Sufyan, after gaining victory, asked three times, "Is Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) among the people?" But the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) from answering. Then he asked twice each about Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) by name, and then, turning to his companions, said, "All of them have been killed, and now you are rid of them." At this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) could not restrain himself and said, "By Allah! O enemy of Allah! You are lying. All those whose names you have mentioned are alive, and now you have received distressing news."

Abu Sufyan said, "This is the revenge for the Battle of Badr, and war is like a bucket (that turns by turns). You will see some of your people with their limbs cut off. I did not order this, but I did not dislike it either." Then he began to chant slogans of "Glory to Hubal." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why do you not answer him?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What should we say?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Say: Allah is Most High and Most Great." Then Abu Sufyan said, "We have Uzza, but you have no Uzza." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why do you not answer him?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What should we say?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Say: Allah is our Protector, but you have no protector."

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara that the Holy Prophet (peace be upon him) said: When two Muslims meet each other and shake hands, before they separate, their sins are forgiven.

It is narrated from Hazrat Bara’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that a silk cloth was presented to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). People began to marvel at its beauty and softness. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The handkerchiefs of Sa’d bin Mu’adh in Paradise are far better and superior to this."
