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! You should perform Hajj on behalf of your mother."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque and took hold of my hand. I also entered the mosque with him. There was a man reciting the Qur'an and performing prayer. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "This person has been given one of the beautiful tones of the family of Dawood (peace be upon him)." When I looked, it was Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him). I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Should I inform him of this?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Inform him." So I informed him, and he said, "You have always been my friend."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man wearing a gold ring on his hand, so he said to him, "Why are you wearing the adornment of the people of Paradise in this world?" The next time he came, he was wearing a brass ring. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I smell the scent of idol-worshippers from you." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Then from what should I make a ring?" He replied, "From silver."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a proposal of marriage to Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that it is necessary to have a wedding feast (walimah). Hazrat Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I am responsible for one ram," and another said, "I am responsible for as much as I have."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) to Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) to distribute the khums... In the morning, water was dripping from Hazrat Ali's (may Allah be pleased with him) head. Hazrat Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Buraidah, "Do you see what Ali has done?" I also had resentment towards Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), so the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you harbor hatred against Ali?" I replied, "Yes." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not hate him; rather, if you love him, then increase your love for him, for by the One in whose hand is the life of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), the share of Ali's family in the khums is better than even 'Waseefah'."

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Every human being has three hundred and sixty joints, and it is obligatory to give charity on behalf of each joint. The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who has the strength to do this?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The way to do this is that if you see spit in the mosque, cover it with earth; remove something harmful from the path; and if you cannot do all this, then two rak'ahs at the time of Duha will suffice on your behalf.

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We halted at a place, and at that time we were about a thousand horsemen. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed two rak‘ahs and then turned towards us; his eyes were filled with tears. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and, sacrificing his parents for him, asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the matter?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I asked my Lord for permission to pray for forgiveness for my mother, but I was not granted permission, so out of compassion my eyes filled with tears. And I had forbidden you from three things: from visiting graveyards, but now you may go, so that you may remember the Hereafter; I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, but now eat it and keep it as long as you wish; and I had forbidden you from drinking from specific vessels, but 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) used to teach his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) that when they go to the graveyard, they should say: O group of believers and Muslims! Peace be upon you. Indeed, we, if Allah wills, will also join you. You have gone ahead of us and we are to follow after you, and we ask Allah for well-being for ourselves and for you.

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked him, "Bilal! How did you precede me in Paradise? Whenever I entered Paradise, I heard your footsteps ahead of me. Just last night, when I entered Paradise, I again heard your footsteps. Then I reached in front of a lofty palace made of gold and asked the people, 'Whose palace is this?' They replied, 'It belongs to an Arab man.' I said, 'I am also an Arab, whose palace is this?' They replied, 'It belongs to a Muslim man from the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).' I said, 'I am myself Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), whose palace is this?' They replied, 'It is Umar bin Khattab's.' The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'Umar! If I had not considered your sense of honor, I would have surely entered that palace.' He (Umar) submitted, 'O Messenger of Allah! Would I ever show honor in front of you?' Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Hazrat Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), 'How did you precede me in Paradise?' He replied, 'Whenever I became impure (lost ablution), I would perform ablution and offer two rak'ahs (units of prayer).' The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, 'That is the reason for it.'

It is narrated from Hazrat Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a man making this supplication: "O Allah! I ask You because I bear witness that You are Allah, there is no deity except You, You are One, Self-Sufficient, You have no offspring, nor were You born, and there is none comparable to You." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By Him 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."
