Qutaybah narrated to us similarly, he said: "Allah, Blessed and Exalted, has forbidden the Fire for him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about Laylat al-Qadr. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It occurs in the month of Ramadan. Seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan, for it is in the odd nights—21st, 23rd, 25th, 27th, 29th, or the last night. And whoever stands (in prayer) on this night with faith and seeking reward, and attains this night, then all his past and future sins are forgiven."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if it is a thread, return it, and avoid dishonesty in the spoils of war, for this will be a source of shame for the dishonest person on the Day of Resurrection.

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), he would experience a state of intensity and the color of his blessed face would change. One day, revelation descended, and when that state passed, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Take this from me, take this from me. Allah Almighty has fixed a way for women: if an unmarried man commits fornication with an unmarried woman, he should be given one hundred lashes and exiled for one year; and if a married man commits fornication with a married woman, he should be given one hundred lashes and also stoned to death."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that the people pledged allegiance to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on the condition of listening and obeying in every hardship and ease, and in every state of activity and laziness, and also that they would not dispute with the rightful person in any matter. Wherever they may be, they would speak the truth, and in matters concerning Allah, they would not fear the blame of any blamer.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah, which is the most virtuous deed?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "To have faith in Allah, to affirm Him, and to strive in His path." The questioner submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! I am asking about a rank lower than that." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Gentleness of nature and patience." The questioner submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! I am asking about a rank even lower than that." He said, "Do not have bad assumptions about Allah regarding what Allah has decreed for you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) plucked a hair from the side of a camel and said: O people! After taking out the khums, even this much from my share of the spoils of war is not lawful for me, and the khums is also returned to you.

Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Strive in the path of Allah, for striving in the path of Allah is one of the doors of Paradise, through which Allah Almighty grants a person deliverance from grief and distress.

Yahya bin Sa’d Ansari says that the kunyah of Hazrat ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) is Abu al-Walid. He was a participant in the Battle of Badr, took part in the Pledge of ‘Aqaba and the Pledge of Ridwan, and was among the leaders (nuqaba) of Madinah. Mukhdaaji, who belonged to Banu Kinanah, says that there was an Ansari man in Syria whose kunyah was Abu Muhammad. He used to say that Witr is obligatory (fard). That Mukhdaaji went to Hazrat ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) and said,“Abu Muhammad considers Witr to be obligatory.”Hazrat ‘Ubada replied,“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 anything from their rights insignificant, then Allah has promised to admit him to Paradise. And whoever does not perform them in this way, then Allah has no promise for him—if He wills, He will punish him, and if He wills, He will forgive him.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to inform us about the Night of Qadr, but two men were arguing with each other. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I came out to inform you about the Night of Qadr, but two men were arguing with each other, so its determination was lifted because of that. It may be that this is better for you. Seek the Night of Qadr in the ninth, seventh, and fifth nights (of the last ten days).
