It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to the area of my people. When the season of Hajj approached, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out for Hajj, and I also attained the honor of performing Hajj. When I presented myself before him, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was encamped at Abtah. He asked me, "O Abdullah bin Qais! With what intention did you put on Ihram?" I replied, "Saying 'Labbayk for Hajj as the Hajj of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).'" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Very good. Tell me, did you bring a sacrificial animal with you?" I said, "No." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Go and perform Tawaf of the House of Allah, perform Sa'i between Safa and Marwah, and come out of Ihram." So I went and did as the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded. Then I went to a woman of my people, and she washed my head with 'khatmi' and looked for lice in my hair. Then, on the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah, I put on Ihram for Hajj. I continued to give people the same fatwa until the passing of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), as he had commanded me. The same situation remained during the time of Hazrat Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). When the time of Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, one day I was standing near the Black Stone and was telling people the same ruling that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had commanded me, when suddenly a man came and whispered to me, "Do not be hasty in giving this fatwa, because the Commander of the Faithful has issued some new rulings regarding the rites of Hajj." I said to the people, "O people! Whoever has received a fatwa from us regarding the rites of Hajj should wait, because the Commander of the Faithful is coming; you should follow him." Then when Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came, I asked him, "O Commander of the Faithful! Have you issued any new rulings regarding the rites of Hajj?" He replied, "Yes! If we take the Book of Allah, it commands us to complete (the rites), and if we take the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he did not come out of Ihram until he had offered the sacrifice."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I turn to Allah in repentance one hundred times a day.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Yemen. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! There are some drinks prevalent there, such as nabidh made from barley which is called 'mizr', and nabidh made from honey which is called 'tuba'." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Every intoxicating thing is forbidden."

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Qais that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you go to the mosques and markets of the Muslims and you have arrows with you, then keep their tips under control.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the Day of Resurrection comes, every Muslim will be given a man from other religions and sects and it will be said: This person is your ransom from Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When two Muslims come face to face with swords and one of them kills the other, then both the killer and the killed will go to Hell. Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah! The matter of the killer is understandable, but what about the killed one?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: He also intended to kill his companion.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) greeted Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) three times. He was not granted permission, so he returned. Later, when Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) met him, he asked, "Why did you leave?" He replied, "I sought permission three times, and when I was not granted permission, I left. This is what we have been instructed to do." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Present a witness for this, otherwise I will punish you." Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) went to a gathering of the Ansar. They said, "Even the youngest among us can testify to this." Thus, Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) went with them and testified to it, so Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) let him go.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My Ummah is an Ummah upon whom mercy has been shown; there will be no punishment for it in the Hereafter. Its punishment is only in this world—killings, calamities, and earthquakes."

Abu Burdah and Yazid bin Abi Kabthah were once traveling together. Yazid used to fast during the journey. Abu Burdah said to him, "I have heard my father, Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), say many times that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'When a person becomes ill or sets out on a journey, the same reward is written for him as he used to receive for his deeds when he was healthy and residing at home.'"

Abu Bakr bin Abdullah says that once, in front of the enemy army, I heard my father saying that I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: "The gates of Paradise are under the shade of swords." Upon hearing this, a disheveled man from among the people stood up and said, "O Abu Musa! Did you yourself hear this hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes!" The man returned to his companions, bade them farewell for the last time, broke the sheath of his sword and threw it away, then advanced with his sword and fought with such intensity that he was eventually martyred.
