It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was ill, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me along with some Ansari people. He asked the people present there, "Do you know who is a martyr (shaheed)?" The people remained silent. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked again, and the people remained silent again. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the same question a third time, so I said to my wife, "Support me and make me sit up." She did so, and I submitted, "The person who accepts Islam, migrates, and then is martyred in the path of Allah, he is a martyr." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "In that case, the martyrs of my Ummah will be very few. Being killed in the path of Allah is also martyrdom, dying from a stomach illness is also martyrdom, drowning and dying is also martyrdom, and a woman dying in the state of childbirth is also martyrdom."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that when revelation would descend upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would experience great distress and its effects would be visible on his blessed face. Once, when this state passed, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take this from me, take this from me. Allah Almighty has determined a way for women: if an unmarried man commits adultery with an unmarried woman, he should be given one hundred lashes and exiled for one year; and if a married man commits adultery with a married woman, he should be given one hundred lashes and also stoned to death."

Mukhaddaji, who belonged to Banu Kinana, says: There was an Ansari man in Syria whose kunyah was Abu Muhammad. He used to say that Witr is obligatory (fard). Mukhaddaji went to Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Abu Muhammad considers Witr to be obligatory. Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Abu Muhammad is mistaken. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah has made five prayers obligatory upon His servants. Whoever performs them without neglecting anything from them and does not consider any part of them insignificant, Allah has promised to admit him to Paradise. And whoever does not perform them in this way, then Allah has no promise with him; if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.

Waleed bin Ubadah says that once I went to see (my father) Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was ill, and I thought that this was his illness of death. I said to him, "Father! Please give me some advice after careful consideration." He said, "Sit me up." When he was made to sit up, he said, "Son! You cannot taste the sweetness of faith and cannot know the reality of knowledge of Allah until you believe that good and bad destiny is from Allah." I said, "Father! How will I know which decision of destiny is good for me and which is bad?" He said, "You must be certain that whatever missed you could never have befallen you, and whatever befell you could never have missed you. Son! I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say that the first thing Allah created was the Pen, and He said to it, 'Write.' So it wrote all that will happen until the Day of Judgment. Son! If you do not die upon this belief, you will enter Hell."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once came to us, so Hazrat Siddiq Akbar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Stand up, let us complain to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this hypocrite." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Refrain from standing before me; standing is for Allah."

Waleed bin Ubadah says that my father advised me, saying: I advise you to have faith in every good and bad destiny, because if you do not have faith in destiny, Allah Almighty will admit you into Hell. And I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) say: The first thing Allah Almighty created was the Pen, and He said to it, "Write." So it wrote down all the events that will happen until the Day of Resurrection.

Abdullah bin Abbad Zarqi (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once he was hunting birds at his well named Bi’r Haab. Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) saw me, and at that time I had caught some birds. He snatched them from my hand and set them free, and said: "Son! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has declared the area between the two boundaries of Madinah as a sanctuary (Haram) just as Hazrat Ibrahim (peace be upon him) had declared Makkah Mukarramah as a sanctuary."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubada (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A group from my Ummah will consider alcohol lawful by giving it another name."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no person who dies on the face of the earth, for whom there is a good decision with his Lord, who would like to return to you, except for the one martyred in the way of Allah, for he wishes to return to the world so that he may attain martyrdom again.

Sanabahi says that when the last moments of the life of Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) came, I was present in his service and began to weep. If intercession is accepted, I will intercede for you, and as much as is within my power, I will benefit you. Then he said, "Whatever hadith I heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and in which there is any good for you, by Allah! I have conveyed it to you. However, there is one hadith which I am narrating to you today while I am surrounded (by death). I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever testifies that there is no deity except Allah and Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah, then Allah makes the fire of Hell forbidden for him."
