It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once he set out with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from Makkah Mukarramah towards Hunayn. There was a berry tree of the disbelievers where they used to stop and hang their weapons, and it was called "Dhat Anwat." On the way, we passed by a lush and green garden of a great berry tree, so we said, "O Messenger of Allah! Appoint for us also a 'Dhat Anwat' just like they have." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "By the One in Whose hand is my soul, you have said just as the people of Musa (peace be upon him) said: 'Appoint for us a god just as they have gods.' And Musa (peace be upon him) said, 'You are a people who are ignorant.' Remember! You will surely follow the ways of those before you, step by step, and you will adopt every one of their habits."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Waqid (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of the Messenger, "O Messenger of Allah! In the area where we live, we often face situations of necessity, so how much of the dead animal is permissible for us?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you are unable to find any vegetable to pick at any time, morning or evening, then you are permitted (to eat from it)."

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

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, there were some people there who used to cut off the rumps of goats and the humps of camels. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever part of the animal is cut off from a living animal, it is considered carrion (dead meat)."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whatever part of the animal's body is cut off from a living animal, it is considered carrion (dead meat)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the pure wives on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage: "You are performing this Hajj with me; after this, you must remain in your homes."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that when revelation would descend upon the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), we would present ourselves before him and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would recite to us that verse. Thus, one day we presented ourselves before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: Allah Almighty has said, "We have sent down wealth so that prayer may be established and zakat may be given, and if the son of Adam were to have two valleys of gold and silver, he would desire a third, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust. However, whoever repents, Allah turns towards him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when three men passed by. One of them came, saw a little space in the gathering of people, and sat there. The second sat at the back, and the third man went away. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Shall I not tell you about these people?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "Why not, O Messenger of Allah!" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The person who came and sat here, he sought refuge and Allah gave him refuge. The one who sat at the back, he felt shy, so Allah was shy with him. And the one who went away, he turned away, so Allah turned away from him."

Nafi' bin Sarjas, may Allah have mercy on him, says that we went to visit Hazrat Waqid, may Allah be pleased with him, during his final illness, so I heard him saying that the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, would lead the people in prayer with the lightest (shortest) prayer, but when he prayed alone, he would perform the longest prayer. Peace and blessings be upon him.

Yazid ibn Harun and Ya'la narrated to us, they said: 'Abd al-Malik narrated to us from Abu al-Zubayr from Safwan. Yazid ibn 'Abd Allah said: and he mentioned it.
