It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade breathing into a vessel, touching the private part with the right hand, or cleaning oneself after relieving oneself with the right hand.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Fasting on the Day of Arafah (9th of Dhul-Hijjah) becomes an expiation for two years, and fasting on the Day of Ashura becomes an expiation for one year.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a funeral passed by the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said, "This person is either one who has found relief or others have found relief from him." The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What does this mean?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "A believing servant finds relief by being delivered from the hardships and troubles of the world and attains comfort in the mercy of Allah. And from a wicked person, people, cities, trees, and even animals find relief."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about his fasting, so the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became displeased. Seeing this, Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "We are pleased with Allah as our Lord, Islam as our religion, and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as our Messenger, and upon this we have pledged allegiance." Then another man or Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) himself stood up and asked, "O Messenger of Allah! If a person fasts continuously, what is the ruling?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "His fasting and not fasting are both the same." The questioner asked, "How about fasting two days and leaving one day?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Who has the strength for that?" The questioner asked, "How about leaving two days and fasting one day?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Perhaps this is praiseworthy in the sight of Allah." The questioner asked, "How about fasting one day and leaving one day?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "That is the way of my brother, Hazrat Dawood (peace be upon him)." The questioner asked about fasting on Mondays and Thursdays. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "On that day I was born and on that day revelation was sent down to me. Fasting three days in every month and fasting the whole month of Ramadan is equal to fasting always." The questioner asked, "What is the ruling of fasting on the Day of Arafah?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the previous and coming year." The questioner asked about the ruling of fasting on the Day of Ashura, so he said, "It is an expiation for the sins of the previous year."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying on this pulpit: O people! Refrain from narrating many ahadith from me, and whoever attributes something to me should only say what is true, because whoever attributes a false statement to me should make his abode in Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would sometimes recite a verse aloud to us in the Zuhr and Asr prayers.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) sat during Tashahhud in prayer, he would place his hand on his right thigh and gesture with his finger.

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

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Tell me, if I am martyred in the way of Allah while I remain steadfast with the intention of reward, I advance and do not retreat, will Allah, by virtue of this, expiate all my sins?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "Yes! If you are martyred in this way, Allah will expiate your sins." After some time, that person asked the same question again, so the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave the same answer, but with this exception: "Except for debt," and said, "Jibreel (peace be upon him) has just informed me of this."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a funeral was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Has he left any debt behind?" The people replied, "Yes! Two dinars." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Has he left anything in inheritance?" The people replied, "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then you should offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves." Upon this, Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me." Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer.
