Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I was descending a steep path with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when the strap of the Messenger of Allah’s sandal broke. I offered my sandal to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), but he refused to accept it. He sat under the shade of a tree to fix his own sandal. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Whom do you see?" I said: "So-and-so, son of so-and-so." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So-and-so is a bad servant of Allah." Then he said to me: "Whom do you see?" I said: "This is so-and-so." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "So-and-so is a very good servant of Allah." And the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "So-and-so is a very good servant of Allah," meaning Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him).

Hazrat Abdul Malik bin Umair (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) appointed Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) as the leader over the people of Shaam and removed Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) from his position. Upon this, Hazrat Khalid bin Waleed (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "You have been sent as the leader over the people by appointing the trustworthy person of this Ummah." Hazrat Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say that Khalid is one of the swords of Allah. And he is the best young man of the tribe."

Hazrat Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Neither the earth gives shelter nor the sky provides shade to any person more truthful than Abu Dharr."

Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Neither does the sky provide shade nor does the earth offer refuge to anyone more truthful in speech than Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Neither the sky has ever shaded nor the earth has ever carried a man more truthful in speech than Abu Dharr. And whoever wishes to see the humility and modesty of Hazrat Isa bin Maryam (peace be upon him), he should look at Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him).

Hazrat Iraq bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Certainly, among all of you, I will be closest to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the Day of Resurrection in terms of gathering. This is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Indeed, the one among you who will be closest to me on the Day of Resurrection is the person who leaves this world in the same state as I left him in this world. And certainly, by Allah! There is not a single person among you except me, but that he has clung to something of this world.

Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that I asked Hazrat Fatima (may Allah be pleased with her): I saw you when you leaned towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) during his illness before his passing, and then you started to cry. Then you leaned towards him again, and the second time you laughed?! She (may Allah be pleased with her) replied: When I leaned towards him the first time, he (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that he was about to pass away, so I cried. Then I leaned towards him again, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that I would be the first among his family to join him, and that I am the leader of all the women of Paradise except Maryam bint Imran. So at this, I laughed.

Hazrat Hudhaifah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I came to the service of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then he (peace be upon him) went outside. I searched for him (peace be upon him), and he (peace be upon him) said: An angel had come who sought permission from his Lord to send blessings and peace upon me, and he informed me that Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) is the leader of the women of Paradise.

Hazrat Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would go out for the Fajr prayer in the morning, he would pass by the house of Hazrat Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) for six months and say: "O people of the house! It is time for prayer." Then he would say: "Indeed, Allah only desires to remove impurity from you, O people of the household, and to purify you completely."
