It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was riding a donkey behind the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Suddenly, the donkey shied, and I uttered, "May the devil be ruined." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not say this, because when you say this phrase, the devil considers himself very great and says, 'I have overpowered him with my strength.' But when you say 'Bismillah' (In the name of Allah), he becomes so insignificant in his own eyes that he becomes even smaller than a fly."

An Ansari companion (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once I left my house with the intention of presenting myself before the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). When I arrived there, I saw that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing, and with him was another man whose face was towards the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I thought that perhaps the two were discussing something important. By Allah! The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for so long that I began to feel pity for him. When that man left, I said, "O Messenger of Allah! This man kept you standing for so long that I began to feel pity for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Did you see him?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do you know who he was?" I replied, "No." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He was Jibreel (Gabriel, peace be upon him), who kept advising me continuously about the neighbor until I thought he would make him an heir in inheritance." Then he said, "If you had greeted him, he would surely have replied to you."

It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The night I was taken on the Night Journey, I passed by Musa (peace be upon him), who was standing in his grave performing prayer.

It is narrated from a companion from Jahina (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), "When should I perform the Isha prayer?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When the night has covered every valley."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people who hunted in the sea came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and they asked the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), we travel by sea and carry only a little water with us for drinking. If we use it for ablution, we will remain thirsty, and if we drink it, there will be no water left for ablution. Can we perform ablution with sea water? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: Yes! The water of the sea is purifying and its dead (fish) is lawful.

Abu Al-Aliyah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that once thirty companions (may Allah be pleased with them) gathered and said that the prayers in which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite aloud are known to us, and those in which he did not recite aloud cannot be compared to the prayers in which he did; therefore, agree upon one opinion. Among them, there were not even two people who differed in this matter: that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to recite in each of the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr an amount equal to thirty verses, and in the last two rak'ahs an amount equal to half of that; while in the first two rak'ahs of Asr, he used to recite an amount equal to half of the recitation of the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr, and in the last two rak'ahs, an amount equal to half of that.

It is mostly narrated from Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That Muslim who mixes with people and is patient over the harm that comes from them is far greater in reward than that Muslim who does not associate with people so that he does not have to be patient over their harm.

It is narrated from a companion of Banu Sulaym (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Subhan Allah" is equal to half the scale of deeds, "Alhamdulillah" fills the scale of deeds, the phrase "Allahu Akbar" fills all the space between the earth and the sky, cleanliness is half of faith, and fasting is half of patience.

It is narrated from a freed slave companion of the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) that the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "How excellent are five things! And how heavy are they in the scale of deeds? La ilaha illallah, Allahu Akbar, Subhanallah, Alhamdulillah, and a righteous child who passes away and his father remains patient over it." And he said: "How excellent are five things! Whoever meets Allah with faith in these five things will enter Paradise: having faith in Allah, in the Day of Judgment, in Paradise and Hell, in being resurrected after death, and in the reckoning."

It is narrated from a Companion (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Destruction is for gold and silver." He (the Companion) came into the presence of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) along with Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You have said that destruction is for gold and silver, then what should a person have?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A tongue that remembers (Allah), a heart that is grateful, and a wife who helps in matters of the Hereafter."
