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 the Iqamah for prayer is called, do not stand up until you see me.

Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) had a debt upon a man. When he would go to demand it from him, the man would hide. One day, he reached his house and a child came out from there. He asked the child about him, so the child informed that yes! He is at home and eating food. Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) called out his name and said, "Come outside, I have found out that you are inside." He came outside, so he asked him, "Why do you keep hiding from me?" He said, "I am destitute and I have nothing." He said, "Swear by Allah that you have nothing?" He said, "Indeed, it is so." Upon this, Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep and said, "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever gives respite to his debtor or forgives his debt, he will be under the shade of the Throne of Allah on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he hunted a wild donkey. When they reached the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), they asked about it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the state of Ihram. He said, "Do you have any of it left with you?" Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) ate from it or permitted the people to eat from it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the people, "Do you recite (Qur'an) behind me in prayer?" The people said, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not do so, except that you recite Surah Al-Fatihah."

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), "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 be upon him) replied, "Yes! If you are martyred in this way, Allah will expiate your sins." After some time, the man asked the same question again, and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave the same answer, but with this exception: "Except for debt." And he 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 when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in prayer, he would recite (Qur'an) 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 as well, he would recite (Qur'an).

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 the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade making nabidh by mixing unripe and ripe dates, raisins and dates, red unripe dates, and fresh dates.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed ablution and prayed near the water reservoir in the land of Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) at Harrah. Then he said: O Allah! Your friend, servant, and prophet Ibrahim (peace be upon him) prayed to You for the people of Makkah, and I, Your servant, prophet, and messenger Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), am praying to You for the people of Madinah in the same way: so grant blessings in their Sa’ and Mudd (measures) and fruits. O Allah! Make Madinah as beloved to us in our hearts as You have made Makkah beloved to us, and transfer its diseases to“Khumm.”O Allah! I declare the area between the two boundaries of Madinah as sacred, just as You declared Makkah sacred through the words of Ibrahim (peace be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and other companions (may Allah be pleased with them) stood for prayer, performed the prayer, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Perform this prayer at this time tomorrow as well."
