It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to lead us in prayer, and in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and Asr, he would recite Surah Al-Fatihah and another surah, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse from it. In the last two rak'ahs, he would recite only Surah Al-Fatihah. In the Fajr prayer, he would make the first rak'ah long.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Good dreams are from Allah, and bad dreams are from Satan. Therefore, if anyone sees a disliked dream, he should not relate it to anyone. Rather, after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left side and seek Allah’s protection from its evil. In this way, that dream will not harm him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When one urinates, he should not touch his private part with his right hand; when entering the toilet, he should not clean himself with his right hand; and when any of you drinks something, he should not breathe into the vessel.

Khalid bin Sameer says that once Abdullah bin Rabah came to us. I saw that many people had gathered around him and they were saying that "the horseman of the Messenger" Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had told us that once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) dispatched an army called "Jaish Umara" and said: "Your commander is Zaid bin Harithah. If Zaid is martyred, then Ja'far will be the commander. If Ja'far is also martyred, then Abdullah bin Rawahah Ansari will be the commander." Upon this, Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you. I did not think that you would appoint Zaid as commander over me." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Set out, for you do not know in which matter there is goodness." So that army set out. After some time had passed, one day the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ascended the pulpit and ordered the call for "the prayer is ready" to be made, and said, "There is a sorrowful news. Shall I not tell you about the army of the Mujahideen? They set out from here and when they faced the enemy, Zaid was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness." The people did so. Then Ja'far bin Abi Talib took the flag and attacked the enemy fiercely until he too was martyred. I bear witness to his martyrdom, so pray for his forgiveness. Then Abdullah bin Rawahah took the flag and stood firm with great perseverance until he too was martyred. Pray for his forgiveness as well. Then Khalid bin Walid took the flag, although no one had appointed him as commander. Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) raised his finger and said, "O Allah! He is one of Your swords, so help him." From that day, Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) was called "Saifullah" (the Sword of Allah). Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Set out to help your brothers, and let no man stay behind." So, in that intense heat, people set out on foot and on mounts.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he was traveling with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on a route to Makkah Mukarramah. He, along with some of his companions who were in the state of ihram, lagged behind, but he himself was not in the state of ihram. He saw a wild donkey, so he quickly mounted his horse and asked his companions for his whip, but they refused. Then he asked for a spear, but they also refused to give it. Eventually, he himself got down, took it, and ran swiftly towards the wild donkey and hunted it. Some of the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) ate from it, while some refused to eat. When they reached the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), they asked about it. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is Allah who has fed you this food."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain, however, in this there is also this addition that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do you have any of its meat left?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the year of Hudaybiyyah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out after donning the Ihram for Umrah. During this journey, Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had also donned the Ihram, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had already been informed that there could be an encounter with the enemy at a place called "Ghaiqah." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) set out, and I too was going along with my companions when suddenly they began to laugh upon seeing each other. When I paid attention, I saw a wild donkey. I requested their help, but they refused to help me because they were in the state of Ihram.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer, he would recite in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and sometimes he would let us hear a verse from it. In this too, he would make the first rak'ah relatively long and the second shorter. He would do the same in the Fajr prayer, making the first rak'ah long and the second comparatively shorter. And in the first two rak'ahs of Asr, he would also recite.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Avoid excessive swearing in buying and selling, for although it makes the transaction successful, its blessing is removed.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a funeral of an Ansari was brought to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Offer the funeral prayer of your companion yourselves, for he is in debt." Upon this, Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Completely?" He replied, "Yes, completely." Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer, and he had a debt of eighteen or nineteen dirhams.
