It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once took hold of his hand and said, "O Abu Umamah! That person is among the believers whose heart becomes gentle for my sake."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever takes responsibility for the affairs of ten or more people will be presented before Allah on the Day of Resurrection in such a state that his hands will be tied to his neck, which only his good deeds will be able to untie, otherwise his sins will destroy him. The beginning of governance is reproach, its middle is regret, and its end on the Day of Resurrection will be disgrace.

Khalid bin Ma'dan says that once we were present at the invitation of Abdul A'la bin Bilal. After finishing the meal, Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said, "I have stood here, but I am neither a preacher nor have I stood up with the intention of giving a speech. However, I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) recite this supplication after finishing the meal: 'Alhamdulillah katheeran tayyiban mubaarakan feehi ghayra makfiyyin wa laa muwadda'in wa laa mustaghna anhu.' Khalid says that Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) repeated these words so many times that we memorized them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he went to Khalid bin Yazid. Khalid presented a cushion for him. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) thought that it was a silk cushion, so he turned back and walked to the end of the row. Khalid was engaged in conversation with another man. After a while, he saw Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Brother! What did you think? Do you think this is a silk cushion?" He replied, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The person who hopes to meet Allah cannot benefit from silk.'" Khalid asked, "O Abu Umamah! Did you really hear the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say this?" He replied, "May Allah forgive! This question, 'Did you hear this hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?'—we lived among a people who neither lied to us nor did we lie to them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has promised me that He will admit seventy thousand people from my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning, and with every thousand there will be an additional seventy thousand, and on top of that there will be a further threefold increase.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs ablution and sets out for the obligatory prayer, he receives the reward equal to that of a pilgrim in the state of ihram. Whoever sets out for the Duha (forenoon) prayer, he receives the reward equal to that of one performing Umrah. And performing one prayer after another in such a way that no vain act occurs in between is written in ‘Illiyyin. And Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that going to these mosques morning and evening is a part of striving in the way of Allah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a companion (may Allah be pleased with him) reports from him that he saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the eighth of Dhul-Hijjah going towards Mina.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: No human being has been granted permission regarding anything better than what has been granted regarding the two rak‘ahs which he performs, and as long as a person remains engaged in prayer, goodness continues to be showered upon his head, and a person does not attain closeness to Allah by anything like the closeness attained through the speech that comes from Him, that is, the Qur’an.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has sent me as a mercy and guidance for the people of the world, and He has commanded me to eradicate musical instruments, drums, instruments of amusement and play, and all those idols that were worshipped in the time of ignorance. And my Lord, swearing by His honor, has said: Whoever among My servants drinks even a single sip of wine, I will surely make him drink scalding water of Hell in exchange for it, whether he is kept in punishment or is forgiven afterwards. And if even a minor child is given a single sip of it, I will surely make him drink scalding water of Hell in exchange for it, whether he is kept in punishment or is forgiven afterwards. And whoever among My servants leaves it out of fear of Me, I will make him drink of My pure wine. And the buying and selling of singing women, teaching them music, and trading in them is not permissible, and their price is forbidden.
