It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir bin Atik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some types of jealousy are beloved to Allah and some are disliked by Allah. Similarly, some types of pride are beloved to Allah and some are disliked. Thus, the jealousy that is beloved to Allah is in those matters where there is a possibility (of wrongdoing) in a person, and the disliked jealousy is that in which there is no aspect of doubt. And the pride that is beloved to Allah is when a person distinguishes himself for the sake of Allah’s pleasure at the time of fighting (in battle) and in giving charity and alms. (And the disliked pride is that which is only for boasting or rebellion.)

It is narrated from Hazrat Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Abdullah bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, his daughter said, "By Allah! I hope that you will be included among the martyrs because you had completed your preparations." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah has fixed his reward according to his intention. What do you people understand by 'martyrdom'?" The people replied, "Being killed in the way of Allah." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Besides being killed in the way of Allah, there are seven other types of martyrdom: whoever dies in a plague is a martyr, whoever drowns in the sea is a martyr, whoever dies of pleurisy is a martyr, whoever dies of a stomach disease is a martyr, whoever dies by burning in fire is a martyr, whoever dies by being buried under a collapsed building is a martyr, and a woman who dies in the state of childbirth is a martyr."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Jabir Abdi (may Allah be pleased with him) that he was included in the delegation of Abdul Qais who came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was not from that tribe, but had come along with his father. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from drinking anything in those vessels about which you have already heard, i.e., Dubba, Hantam, Naqeer, and Muzaffat.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that his parents brought their case concerning him to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). One of my parents was a Muslim and the other was a disbeliever. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) turned towards the disbeliever and said, "O Allah! Grant him guidance," and then turned towards the Muslim and decided the matter concerning me in his favor.

Abdul Hameed bin Salamah says that his grandfather had accepted Islam during the time of the Prophet, but his grandmother had not accepted Islam. The grandfather and grandmother had a son. Both of them brought their case to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said, "If you both consider it appropriate, give your son the choice (to go with whomever he wishes)." Then the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) seated the father in one corner and the mother in another corner and gave the child the choice. The child started walking towards the mother, so the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) prayed, "O Allah! Grant guidance to this child." Thus, the child returned to his father.

It is narrated from Hazrat Qais bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man performing two rak'ahs after the Fajr prayer. He said, "Is the Fajr prayer performed twice?" The man replied, "I was not able to perform the two Sunnah rak'ahs before Fajr, so I have performed them now." Upon this, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent.
