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 any one of you enters the mosque, he should perform two rak'ahs (as Tahiyyat al-Masjid) before sitting down.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not speak ill of time, for Allah is the Creator of time.

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).

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 any one of you drinks something, he should not breathe into the vessel; when he enters the toilet, he should not cleanse himself with his right hand; and when he urinates, he should not touch his private part with his right hand.

It is narrated mursal from Abdullah bin Abi Talha, may Allah have mercy on him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any of you eats food, he should not eat with his left hand; when he drinks, he should not drink with his left hand; when he holds something, he should not hold it with his left hand; and when he gives something, he should not give it with his left hand.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one of us passed away. We went to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) so that he would lead his funeral prayer. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did he leave anything behind?" The people said, "By Allah, he left nothing behind." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did he leave any debt upon himself?" The people said, "Yes, eighteen dirhams." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did he leave anything for its repayment?" The people said, "By Allah, he left nothing behind." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then you yourselves perform his funeral prayer." Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! If I pay his debt, will you lead his funeral prayer?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you pay his entire debt, I will lead his funeral prayer." So Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) went and paid his debt. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Has the entire debt been paid?" He replied, "Yes!" So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led his funeral prayer.

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).

It is narrated from Hazrat Atiyyah Qarazi (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the occasion of the Battle of Banu Qurayza, we were presented before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and it was decided that whoever had grown pubic hair would be killed, and whoever had not grown pubic hair would be let go. I was among those who had not grown hair, so I was let go.

Hazrat Atiyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that on the day Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the verdict regarding Banu Qurayzah, I was a small boy. He did not find pubic hair grown on me; for this reason, I am present among you today.

It is narrated from Hazrat Safwan bin Mu'attal (may Allah be pleased with him) that he submitted to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah! I want to ask you a question about which you have knowledge and I am unaware, and that is: which are the times during the day and night in which you consider prayer to be disliked? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When you have performed the Fajr prayer, then refrain from prayer until the sun rises. When the sun has risen, then perform prayer, for at that time the angels are present and it is accepted, until the sun is directly overhead like a spear above you. When that happens, that is the hour in which Hell is kindled and its doors are opened, until it declines from your right side. When that happens, then perform prayer, for at that time too the angels are present and it is accepted, until you have performed the Asr prayer.
