It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he went out at night and met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took his hand and entered the mosque. Suddenly, the voice of a man reciting the Qur'an was heard. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you think he is a show-off?" Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. That man was supplicating: "O Allah! I ask You because I bear witness that You are Allah, there is no deity except You, You are One, Self-Sufficient, He begets not, nor is He begotten, and there is none like unto Him." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, he has asked Allah by His Greatest Name; when He is asked by it, He surely gives, and when supplicated by it, He surely answers." The next night, Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) again went out after 'Isha and again met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again took his hand and entered the mosque. Similarly, the voice of a man reciting the Qur'an was heard. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Do you think he is a show-off?" Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Do you think he is a show-off?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said twice, "No, rather he is one who turns (to Allah) and a believer." This voice was that of Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), who was reciting the Qur'an in a corner of the mosque. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Ash'ari has been given one of the beautiful tones of Dawud (peace be upon him)." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I not inform him of this?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why not, inform him." So I informed him of this. He said, "You are my friend, for you have told me a hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)."

Abdullah bin Buraidah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that his father participated in sixteen battles alongside the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about the timings of prayer. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not give him any answer, but rather ordered Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), who gave the iqamah for Fajr when dawn had broken and people could not recognize each other. Then he ordered him, and he gave the iqamah for Zuhr when the sun had declined, and some said that half the day had passed, others said it had not, but he knew better. Then he ordered him, and he gave the iqamah for Asr when the sun was still bright. Then he ordered him, and he gave the iqamah for Maghrib when the sun had set. Then he ordered him, and he gave the iqamah for Isha when the twilight had disappeared. Then, on the next day, he delayed Fajr so much that when the prayer was finished, people began to say that the sun was about to rise. He delayed Zuhr so much that it was close to the previous day's Asr. He delayed Asr so much that after the prayer people began to say that the sun had turned red. He delayed Maghrib until the disappearance of the twilight, and Isha until the first third of the night. Then he called the questioner and said: The time for prayer is between these two times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I had given a slave girl in charity to my mother. My mother has passed away, so that slave girl has come back to me as inheritance." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah will reward you for it, and the slave girl has also come to you as inheritance." She said, "My mother passed away without performing Hajj. Can my performing Hajj on her behalf suffice for her?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!" She said, "My mother also had a month's worth of obligatory fasts. Can my fasting on her behalf suffice for her?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!"

Abu Mulaaih says that once we were participating in a battle with Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him). That day it was cloudy. He said, "Pray quickly, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever leaves the Asr prayer, all his deeds are wasted."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I had forbidden you from visiting graveyards, now you may go. And I had forbidden you from keeping sacrificial meat for more than three days, now keep it as long as you wish. And I had forbidden you from drinking nabidh in vessels other than water skins, now drink from whichever vessel you wish, but do not drink anything intoxicating.

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever leaves the Asr prayer, all his deeds are wasted.

Abdullah bin Mula says that one day I was walking in "Ahwaz" when I saw a man ahead of me riding a mule and saying, "O Allah! My time has passed from among this Ummah, so include me among them." I said, "Please include me in your supplication as well." He said, "If my companion also wishes, then (include him)." Then he said that the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "The best of my Ummah are those of my era, then those who come after them (I do not remember whether he mentioned the third time or not), then there will come people among whom obesity will prevail, they will be ready to give testimony without being asked." That companion was Hazrat Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him).

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I participated with Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) in jihad in Yemen. I faced some harshness from him. When I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), I mentioned Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and spoke of him with some deficiency in his honor. I saw that the color of the blessed face of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was changing. Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Buraidah! Do I not have more right over the believers than their own selves?" I said, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah!" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever I am beloved to, Ali should also be beloved to him."
