Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) once told Hazrat Saad bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "I want to practice coitus interruptus with my wife." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him the reason, so he replied that it was because of her children. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you want to do it only for this reason, then do not do it, because even the people of Persia and Rome have not been harmed by this thing."

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) descended with revelation upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he also taught the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) how to perform ablution. And when he finished ablution, he took a handful of water and sprinkled it near his private part. Therefore, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also do the same after ablution.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I presented myself before the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and saw signs of grief on his blessed face and in a certain room. I asked the reason for this, and he replied that Jibreel had not come to him for three days. Upon investigation, it was found that a puppy was hiding in a certain room. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered it to be killed, and it was killed. Shortly thereafter, Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) appeared. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) became happy upon seeing him and asked, "Why were you not coming to me?" He replied, "We do not enter a house in which there are dogs or pictures."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that during his final illness, one day the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Call my noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and bring them to me." When they arrived, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) removed the curtain (sheet) and said, "May Allah's curse be upon the Jews and Christians, for they made the graves of their prophets places of prostration."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a daughter of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a message to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that her child was in the throes of death, and requested that he come to them. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent his greetings to her and said: "What He takes belongs to Allah, and what He gives belongs to Allah, and everything has an appointed time with Him. Therefore, you should be patient and hope for reward upon this." She again sent a messenger to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), insisting by oath. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up, and we also stood up with him. The child was brought and placed in the lap of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and his soul was departing. Among the people present at that time were Hazrat Sa'd bin Ubadah (may Allah be pleased with him) and, it seems, Hazrat Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. Tears began to flow from the eyes of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Seeing this, Hazrat Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is this?" He replied, "This is mercy, which Allah places in the hearts of whichever of His servants He wills. And Allah shows mercy only to those of His servants who are merciful."

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him), Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), and Zaid bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) were together in one place. During the conversation, Hazrat Ja'far (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) loves me the most among all of you." Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said the same about himself, and Hazrat Zaid bin Harithah (may Allah be pleased with him) said the same about himself. To settle the matter, they said, "Let us go to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and ask him." So they came and sought permission to enter upon the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "See who has come?" I looked and said, "Ja'far, Ali, and Zaid have come." I did not say, "My father has come." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allow them to enter." They came in and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Whom do you love the most?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Fatimah." They said, "We are asking you about men." The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Ja'far! Your appearance most resembles mine and your character most resembles mine. You are from me and you are my branch. And Ali! You are my son-in-law and the father of my children (grandsons). I am from you and you are from me. And O Zaid! You are our freedman and you are from me and towards me, and among all people you are the most beloved to me."

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no usury in a cash transaction; it is only in a deferred transaction.

It is narrated from Hazrat Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) that once (the Prophet’s granddaughter) Umaymah bint Zaynab was brought to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and her soul was departing as if it were in a waterskin. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“What was taken is Allah’s, and what was given is Allah’s, and everything has an appointed time with Him.”Tears began to flow from the eyes of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Seeing this, Hazrat Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted,“O Messenger of Allah! Are you also weeping?”He replied,“This is mercy which Allah places in the hearts of whomever He wills among His servants, and Allah shows mercy only to those of His servants who are merciful.”
