It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Five things are indeed excellent: Subhan Allah, Alhamdulillah, La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, and a righteous son of a person who passes away and he bears it with patience seeking reward.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would begin the prayer, he would say "Allahu Akbar" three times, "Subhan Allah" three times, and "La ilaha illallah" three times, then he would recite this supplication: "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the prodding of Satan, his blowing, and his shirk."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from among the Ashab al-Suffah passed away and left behind one or two dinars. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These are one or two marks of Hell."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us leaning on a staff, so we stood up out of respect. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not stand up as the non-Arabs do, who show such reverence to one another. We wished that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate for us. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: O Allah! Forgive us, have mercy on us, be pleased with us, accept our good deeds, admit us into Paradise, grant us salvation from Hell, and set right all our affairs. We wished that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate further, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In this supplication, I have included everything for you.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

Abu Ghalib says that some heads of the Khawarij were brought from Iraq and hung at the gate of the mosque of Damascus. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and began to weep and said three times, "They are the dogs of Hell," and three times, "The worst of those killed under the shade of the sky," and, "The best of those killed under the shade of the sky was the one whom they martyred." After a little while, when he returned, someone asked, "Then why were you weeping?" He replied, "I felt pity for them." O Abu Umamah! This statement of yours, 'the dogs of Hell,' did you hear it from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or are you saying it from your own opinion?" He replied, "Subhan Allah! If I have heard something from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) up to seven times and then omit the mention of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in between, then I would be very bold indeed."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that even barley bread would not remain with the family of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In my view, remembering Allah at the time of sunrise—saying Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, and Subhan Allah—is better than freeing four slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him). Similarly, remembering Allah from the Asr prayer until sunset is, in my view, better than freeing so many slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come as close as the distance of one mile, and its heat will increase so much that brains will boil like pots, and all people will be submerged in sweat according to their sins. Thus, some will have sweat up to their ankles, some up to their shins, some up to the middle of their bodies, and some will have a bridle of sweat in their mouths.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the daughter of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), was being lowered into the grave, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "We created you from this earth, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once again." Now, I do not remember whether the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "In the name of Allah, and in the way of Allah, and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)" or not. Then, when the niche (lahd) was made, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw twigs towards her and said, "Fill the empty spaces between the bricks with this." Then he said, "This does not affect anything, but the living are comforted by it."
