It is narrated on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he met Hazrat Abi Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked, "Where are you coming from?" He replied that he was coming from Mount Tur. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If I had met you before your departure, you would never have undertaken that journey, because I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Mounts should not be saddled except for visiting three mosques: Masjid al-Haram, my mosque, and Masjid al-Aqsa.'"

Yazid bin Abi Habib says that once Hazrat Abu Basrah (may Allah be pleased with him) set out from Alexandria during the month of Ramadan. On the way, food was presented to him. Someone said to him, "Now the city is not far from here." He replied, "Are you turning away from the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The narrator says that then, until we reached such-and-such place, we continued to break the fast.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Basrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the morning, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Allah has added a prayer for you which is better for you than red camels." We asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which prayer is that?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Ubada (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon there will come rulers who will be engrossed in many things out of heedlessness, and they will delay the prayer from its prescribed time.

A man says that once I was on a journey with Hazrat Salim bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) when a man sneezed and instead of thanking Allah, he said "Assalamu Alaikum." Hazrat Salim (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Upon you and your mother as well." After walking a little further, he asked him, "Perhaps you are angry with me?" He replied, "Why did you mention my mother?" He said, "I had no other words to say except this, because once I was also on a journey with the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and a man sneezed and said 'Assalamu Alaikum,' and the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also gave him the same reply. Then he said, 'When any of you sneezes, he should say 'Alhamdulillah ala kulli haal' or 'Alhamdulillahi Rabbil Aalameen,' and the listener should say 'Yarhamukumullah,' and the one who sneezed should reply, 'May Allah forgive my and your sins.'"

They replied, "Allah and His Messenger have declared it forbidden, so it will remain forbidden until the Day of Judgment." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "For a man to commit adultery with ten women is lighter than committing adultery with his neighbor's wife." Then he asked, "What do you say about theft?" They replied, "Allah and His Messenger have declared it forbidden, so it will remain forbidden." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "For a person to steal from ten houses is lighter than stealing from his neighbor's house."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we slaughtered a goat for the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed us, so we presented a small portion of it to him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate from it and then stood up to perform prayer, and in between, he did not perform fresh ablution.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Rafi’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people of the Quraysh sent me to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). As soon as I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Islam settled in my heart and I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Now I do not want to return to the Quraysh." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I cannot break a covenant, nor can I detain envoys with me. Therefore, you should return now. If the intention in your heart remains the same as it is now, then come back to me." (So I went to them, then returned and presented myself in the court of Prophethood and was honored with Islam.)
