It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once at the time of sunset, I was in the mosque with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Abu Dharr! Do you know where this sun goes?" I replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It goes and prostrates before its Lord, then seeks permission to return, which is granted to it. When it is said to it, 'Return to where you came from,' it returns to its rising place, and that is its fixed course." Then the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "The sun runs on its fixed course."

Ghudaif bin Harith says that once he passed by Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), and Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Ghudaif is an excellent young man." Then he met Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), who said, "Brother! Pray for my forgiveness." Ghudaif said, "You are a companion of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him), and you are more deserving that you pray for my forgiveness." He replied, "I heard Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) say that Ghudaif is an excellent young man, and the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said that Allah has made the truth flow on Umar's tongue and heart."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about the meaning of this verse: "The sun runs to its resting place." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The resting place of the sun is beneath the Throne.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three types of people with whom Allah will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor look at them, nor purify them, and for them there will be a painful punishment: the one who lets his lower garment hang below his ankles, the one who sells his goods by swearing a false oath, and the one who reminds others of his favors.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carried out the punishment of stoning on a woman, so he ordered me to dig a pit for her. Accordingly, I dug a pit for her up to the navel.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself in the court of the Messenger, and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was in the mosque. I also joined the gathering. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked me, "O Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), have you performed the prayer?" I replied, "No." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then stand up and perform the prayer." So I stood up, performed the prayer, and then rejoined the gathering. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Abu Dharr! Seek Allah's protection from the evil of the devils among humans and jinn." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Are there devils among humans as well?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "Yes." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the ruling regarding prayer?" He said, "It is the best subject; whoever wishes may gain little from it, and whoever wishes may gain much." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is the ruling regarding fasting?" He said, "It is an obligation; if it is fulfilled, it suffices, and with Allah there is additional reward for it." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the ruling regarding charity?" He said, "Its reward is multiplied twofold, threefold." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which charity is the best?" He said, "The charity from the effort of one who has little wealth, or the secret charity to a needy person." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who was the first Prophet?" He said, "Hazrat Adam (peace be upon him)." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Was he a Prophet?" He said, "Yes, and moreover, a Prophet to whom Allah spoke." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How many Messengers were sent?" He said, "A little over three hundred and ten, a great group." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Which is the greatest verse revealed to you?" He said, "Ayat al-Kursi."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was delivering a sermon when a hard-natured Bedouin stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Famine will consume us." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I fear another thing for you regarding yourselves: when the world will be poured upon you. I wish that at that time my Ummah would not wear gold jewelry."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Charity is due from every joint of each of you every morning. Every utterance of SubhanAllah is charity, every utterance of La ilaha illallah is charity, every utterance of Allahu Akbar is charity, every utterance of Alhamdulillah is charity, enjoining good is charity, forbidding evil is charity, and having intercourse with your wife is also charity. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is there a reward for us in fulfilling our desire?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Tell me, if you were to fulfill it in a forbidden way, would there not be a sin upon you? I said, "Yes." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then you count the sin, but do not count the good deed. And all of these are compensated by the two rak‘ahs that any one of you prays at the time of Duha.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The good and bad deeds of my Ummah were presented before me. Among the list of good deeds, I saw the removal of a harmful thing from the road, and among the list of bad deeds, I saw spitting inside the mosque without mixing it into the soil.
