It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A person does no deed greater than the remembrance of Allah that can save him from the punishment of Allah. It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you of the best deed in the sight of your Lord, the one that raises you to the highest ranks, better for you than spending gold and silver, and better than meeting your enemy in the battlefield so that you strike their necks and they strike your necks? The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: O Messenger of Allah! Why not? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The remembrance of Allah Almighty.

Abu Idris says that once I attended a gathering in which twenty companions of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) were present. Among them was a young and youthful companion, whose complexion was radiant, with large black eyes and shining teeth. Whenever there was any disagreement among the people and he spoke, they would accept his word as final. Later, I found out that he was Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him). The next day, I came again and found him praying behind a pillar. He shortened his prayer and sat quietly with his knees drawn up. I approached and said, "By Allah! I love you for the sake of Allah's majesty." He made me swear, "Really?" I also swore. He then said (most likely), "Those who love each other for Allah's sake will be under the shade of Allah's Throne on the Day when there will be no shade except His. (After this, there is no doubt in the rest of the hadith.) For them, chairs of light will be set up, and due to their nearness to the Lord of the Worlds, even the Prophets (peace be upon them), the truthful, and the martyrs will envy them." Later, I narrated this hadith to Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), and he said, "I will narrate to you only that hadith which I myself heard from the tongue of the Prophet, and it is this: 'My love is assured for those who love each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who meet each other for My sake; My love is assured for those who spend on each other for My sake; and My love is assured for those who join with each other for My sake.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, Muslims will be raised in such a state that there will be no hair on their bodies, they will be beardless, their eyes will be darkened with antimony, and they will be people of thirty years of age.

Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once, at night, I went out in search of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I was told that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had gone out. Whoever I passed by would say that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) just passed by here, until I found him standing at a place, performing prayer. I also stood behind him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) started the prayer and kept it long, until when he finished his prayer with salam, I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Tonight you performed a very long prayer." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! This was a prayer of encouragement and warning. In this prayer, I asked my Lord for three things, out of which He granted me two and denied me one. I requested my Lord not to destroy my ummah by drowning in the sea, and He accepted my request. Then I requested Him not to impose an external enemy upon them, so He accepted this request as well. Then I requested my Lord not to divide us into different sects, but He did not accept this request."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: O Mu'adh! Whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, he will enter Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent me to Yemen to collect Zakat and instructed me to collect a one-year-old cow for every thirty cows and a two-year-old cow for every forty cows. The people offered me Zakat for the numbers between forty and fifty, sixty and seventy, eighty and ninety, but I refused and said that I would first ask the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So I presented myself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related this incident. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed me to collect a one-year-old cow for every thirty cows, a two-year-old cow for every forty cows, two one-year-old cows for sixty, one two-year-old and one-year-old cow for seventy, two-year-old cows for eighty, three one-year-old cows for ninety, one two-year-old and two one-year-old cows for one hundred, two-year-old and one-year-old cow for one hundred and ten, three two-year-old cows or four one-year-old cows for one hundred and twenty, and also instructed that Zakat should not be collected for numbers in between until the animal is a year old or six months old, and explained that ("kasr" or) Zakat is not obligatory for less than thirty.

Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) mentioned the plague during a sermon in Syria and said: "This is a mercy from your Lord, the supplication of the Prophets, and the way of death for the righteous before you. O Allah! Grant the family of Mu'adh a share of this mercy." Then, when he descended from the pulpit and reached home and saw his son Abdur Rahman (he had been afflicted by the plague), he said: "This is truly from your Lord, so do not be among those who doubt." Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "InshaAllah, you will find me among those who are patient."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the presence of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a heated argument between two men, and one of them became so angry that I can still imagine his nose turning red due to anger. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), seeing his condition, said: "I know a word which, if this man afflicted with anger were to say, his anger would go away, and that word is: 'Allahumma inni a'udhu bika min ash-shaytan ir-rajim.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs the five daily prayers, performs Hajj of the House of Allah, and fasts in the month of Ramadan, his sins will be forgiven, and it is a right upon Allah, whether he migrates or remains in the place where he was born. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I not give this glad tidings to the people?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Mu'adh! Let them continue to act. There are one hundred levels in Paradise, and between each two levels is a distance of one hundred years. And Firdaus is the highest and best level of Paradise; from it the rivers of Paradise flow forth. Therefore, when you ask Allah, ask for Jannat al-Firdaus."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon you will migrate towards Syria and it will be conquered at your hands, but there a disease of boils and blisters will be imposed upon you, which will seize a person by the leg of the ladder. Allah will grant them martyrdom through it and purify their deeds. O Allah! If You know that Mu'adh bin Jabal heard this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then grant him and his family an ample share of it. Consequently, all of them were afflicted with the plague and not a single one of them remained alive. When the plague swelling appeared on the finger of martyrdom of Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him), he would look at it and say: I would not prefer to have a red camel in exchange for this.
