It is narrated from Hazrat Waleed bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Sometimes I feel an unknown fear." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When you lie down on your bed, recite these words: 'A'udhu bikalimaatillahi-t-taammaati min ghadabihi wa 'iqaabihi wa sharri 'ibaadihi wa min hamazaatish-shayaateeni wa an yahduroon.' Nothing will be able to harm you, rather, nothing will even come near you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to order the giving of Sadaqat-ul-Fitr. When the command of Zakat was revealed, we were forbidden from it and were not ordered to do so, but we continued to give it. And before the command of fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered us to fast on the day of Ashura. When the command of fasting in the month of Ramadan was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither ordered us to fast on Ashura nor forbade us, but we ourselves continued to fast.

It is narrated from Hazrat Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever justifies his ruler in disobedience to Allah, on the Day of Resurrection Allah will weaken his strategy.

Hazrat Sahl bin Hunaif (may Allah be pleased with him) and Qais bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) were once sitting in Qadisiyyah. Meanwhile, some people passed by carrying a funeral bier. Both of them stood up. Someone said that the deceased was from the residents of this area. They replied that once some people passed by the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a funeral bier, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up. Someone said that the deceased was a Jew. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said,“Was he not a human being?”

It is narrated from Hazrat Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that before the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had ordered the payment of Sadaqat al-Fitr. When the command of Zakat was revealed, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) neither ordered us to pay Sadaqat al-Fitr nor forbade it, but we ourselves continued to pay it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Qais bin Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us. We arranged water for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to bathe. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) bathed, then we brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) a quilt dyed with that water, which the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrapped around himself. The marks that appeared on the folds of the Noble Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) stomach, that scene is still before my eyes. Then we brought a donkey to serve as a ride for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The owner of the ride has more right to sit in front." We said, "O Messenger of Allah! Then this ride is only for you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that his mother passed away, so he submitted to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! My mother has passed away. Can I give charity on her behalf?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes!" He asked, "Then which charity is the best?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Providing water." The narrator says that this is the real reason for the family of Sa'd providing water in Madinah Munawwarah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "My mother has passed away. She had made a vow. Will it suffice if I free a slave on her behalf?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You can free a slave on behalf of your mother."

It is narrated from Hazrat Sa'd bin 'Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This tribe of the Ansar is a trial; love for them is a sign of faith and hatred for them is a sign of hypocrisy."
