It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that my beloved friend (peace and blessings be upon him) advised me that any gold or silver that is stored and sealed will be a spark of fire for its owner until he spends it in the way of Allah.

Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) once held the ring of the door of the Ka'bah and said: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that there is no prayer after the Asr prayer until sunset, and there is no prayer after the Fajr prayer until sunrise, except in Makkah Mukarramah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! A man loves a certain people but cannot perform deeds like theirs. What is his status?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), you will be with those whom you love." I said, "Then I love Allah and His Messenger." He repeated this sentence not once, but three times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever from my Ummah dies in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Allah, will enter Paradise.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever knowingly ascribes his lineage to someone other than his father commits disbelief, and whoever claims ownership of something that does not belong to him is not from among us, and he should prepare his abode in Hell. And whoever calls someone a disbeliever or an enemy of Allah, while he is not so, then it returns upon the one who said it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He was wearing white clothes. When I arrived, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sleeping. I came again, and he was still sleeping. The third time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had awakened, so I sat beside him. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah and departs from this world upon this testimony, will enter Paradise." I asked, "Even if he commits adultery and theft?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! Even if he commits adultery and theft." This question and answer happened three times. The fourth time, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Yes! Even if Abu Dharr's nose becomes dust-covered." Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), upon hearing this, left dragging his cloak, repeating this sentence, and whenever he narrated this hadith, he would certainly repeat this sentence: "Even if Abu Dharr's nose becomes dust-covered."

It is narrated from Hazrat Umm Zar (may Allah be pleased with her) that when the time of Hazrat Abu Dharr’s (may Allah be pleased with him) death drew near, I began to weep. He asked,“Why are you crying?”I said,“Why should I not cry? You are dying in a wilderness in such a state that I have no means to bury you, nor do I have enough cloth to shroud you.”He said,“Do not cry and receive glad tidings, for I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘Whoever dies among two or three Muslim children, and he bears their death with patience seeking reward, he will never see the fire of Hell.’ And I also heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: ‘One of you will surely die in a wilderness, and a group of believers will be present with him.’ Now, each of those people has died in some city or among a group, and I am the one who is dying in the wilderness. By Allah, I am neither lying nor has a lie been told to me.”His wife said,“Now even the pilgrims have returned, so who will come?”He said,“Keep watch on the road.”While she was talking, she saw some people approaching, driving their mounts at full speed, as if vultures were swiftly coming. They stopped near her and asked,“What is your matter (that you are standing on the road)?”She replied,“There is a Muslim man here; arrange for his shrouding and burial, you will receive great reward.”They asked,“Who is he?”She replied,“Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).”They sacrificed their parents for him, placed their whips on the chests of their animals, and hurried on. When they reached there, Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“Glad tidings to you, for you are the people about whom the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: ‘Glad tidings, for I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: If two or three children of two Muslim men and women die, and both bear it with patience seeking reward, they will never see Hell.’ Now, my condition today is before you. If you find any cloth among my clothes that is sufficient for me, then shroud me in it, and I swear by Allah, do not let anyone shroud me who is a chief, or a leader, or a notable among you.”Now, among those people, each one had some such quality, except for one young Ansari who had come with the people. He said,“I will shroud you. I have two garments which my mother had woven; one of them is on my body.”Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said,“You are my companion, so you shroud me.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Which was the first mosque built on earth? The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Masjid al-Haram. I asked: Then which one? He said: Masjid al-Aqsa. I asked: What was the interval between the two? The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Forty years. I asked: Then which mosque? The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then wherever you find the time for prayer, perform it there, for the whole earth is a mosque.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "O Messenger of Allah! All the reward and merit has been taken by the wealthy people." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You can also do this: removing a bone from the path is charity, guiding someone on the road is charity, helping a weak person with your strength is charity, clarifying the speech of a person who stammers is charity, and having intercourse with your wife is also charity." I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Do we get reward even for fulfilling our 'desire'?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if you were to fulfill this desire in a forbidden way, would you not incur sin?" I replied, "Yes." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You count the sin but do not count the good deed."

Hanaf bin Qais, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I was present in Madinah Munawwarah. I was participating in a gathering "in which some people from the Quraysh were also sitting" when a man came (he approached them and said: Glad tidings to those who accumulate wealth, of the branding that will be branded from their backs and will come out from their bellies, and of the branding from the nape that will come out from their foreheads). Then he went away to one side. I followed him until he sat down near a pillar. I said to him: I see that these people were not pleased with what you said? He replied: I only say to them what I heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say. I asked him: What do you say about this stipend? He said: Take it, for nowadays it helps in many matters. If it is the price of your debt, then leave it.
