Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that Tufail bin Amr Dausi (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) along with his companions and said: O Messenger of Allah! The people of the tribe of Daus have become rebellious and refuse to listen to the word of Allah. Please pray against them. Some of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said that now the people of Daus will be destroyed. But the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: O Allah! Guide the people of Daus and bring them (into the fold of Islam).

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) said: There are three reasons, which I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), because of which I always love Banu Tamim. The Noble Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said about them that among my Ummah, they will prove to be the strongest opponents of Dajjal. Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that (once) when zakat was received from Banu Tamim, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the zakat of our people. A woman from Banu Tamim was captured and was with Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), so the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to her: Set her free, for she is from the descendants of Hazrat Ismail (peace be upon him).

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You will find people to be like mines (of gold and silver, in goodness and badness). Those who were the best and possessed good qualities in the time of ignorance are the best and possess good qualities in Islam as well, provided they acquire understanding of the religion. And you will find that the one most suitable for leadership and authority is the one who dislikes it the most. And among people, the worst is the double-faced person, who comes to some people with one face and to others with another face.

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: The best women who ride camels (i.e., Arab women) are the women of the Quraysh. They are the most loving and compassionate towards their children and the best guardians and protectors of their husbands’ wealth and possessions. After narrating this hadith, Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that Maryam bint Imran never rode a camel.

Asim says that I asked Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), "Do you know whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that there are no pacts or agreements of the Age of Ignorance in Islam?" So he replied, "The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself established a pact between the Ansar and the Quraysh in my house."

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A time will come when a Muslim army will be out for jihad. It will be asked: Are there any elders in the army who have had the company of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)? It will be said: Yes. Then (by bringing them forward for supplication) they will be asked to pray for victory. Then a time will come when it will be sought whether any elders can be found who have had the company of the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (i.e., the Tabi‘een). Such elders will also be found and they will be asked to pray for victory. After that, a time will come when (the soldiers) will be asked: Are there any elders among you who have had the company of the students of the companions of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (i.e., the Taba‘ Tabi‘een)? It will be said: Yes, and they will be asked to pray for victory.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best people are those of my generation, then those who will come after them, and then those who will come after them. Then there will come a time when people will give testimony before being asked to do so, and they will swear oaths before testifying.

Hazrat Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best among you are the people of my time (the Companions), then those who come after them (the Followers), then those who come after them (the Followers of the Followers). Imran said: I do not know whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned two generations after his own or three. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: After you, there will come people who will be deceitful, in whom there will be no trustworthiness. They will not be asked to bear witness, but they will offer testimonies. They will make vows, but will not fulfill them. Obesity will become common among them.

Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that towards the end of his life (once) the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Isha prayer. When he finished the prayer with salam, he stood up and said: "Tonight is such a night that from tonight until the end of one hundred years, no person who is on the earth will remain (alive)."

Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Do not speak ill of my companions. If anyone were to spend gold equal to Mount Uhud (in the way of Allah), it would not equal even a mudd (a small measure) of what they spent, nor even half of it.
