(Second chain) The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Teach knowledge to the people and make things easy, and do not create difficulties, and when you become angry, remain silent, and when you become angry, remain silent, and when you become angry, remain silent."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Give glad tidings and do not create difficulties, and bring comfort and ease to people and do not make them averse."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: "Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) left us in such a state that even if a bird moved its wings (to fly), we would gain some knowledge from it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Zaid Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led us in the Fajr prayer and then ascended the pulpit and continued to address us until the time of the Zuhr prayer. Then he descended and led the Zuhr prayer, after which he again ascended the pulpit and began to address us until the time of the Asr prayer arrived. He descended, led the Asr prayer, and then again ascended the pulpit and continued the address until sunset. Thus, whatever had happened and whatever was to happen, he (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us of all of it. So, the most knowledgeable among us was the one who remembered the most.

Sayyiduna Hanzalah the scribe (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he addressed us on the subject of Paradise and Hell, so much so that it seemed as if they were before our very eyes. Then I got up and went to my family and spent time laughing and playing with my wife and children. Then I remembered that state which had overcome me in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), so I set out and met Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: "O Abu Bakr! Hanzalah has become a hypocrite." He said: "How is that?" I said: "We were with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he preached to us about Paradise and Hell until it seemed as if they were before our eyes, but when I went to my family, I became busy laughing and playing with my wife and children (forgetting that state)." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Indeed, we do the same." Hearing this, I went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and related the whole matter to him. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Hanzalah! If your state in your homes were the same as it is with me, the angels would shake hands with you on your beds and in your streets with their wings. But, O Hanzalah! Sometimes like this, and sometimes like that."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the noble Companions said to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, when we are with you and you speak to us, our hearts become tender, but when we leave your presence, we become occupied with the work of our wives and children and do such things (and the state we had with you disappears)." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If you were to remain in the state you are in when you are with me, then the angels would shake hands with you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Waqid Al-Laithi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) when three people passed by. One of them turned towards the gathering, saw an empty spot, and sat there. The second sat behind the people, and the third went away. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Shall I not inform you about these three people?”The companions said:“Yes, O Messenger of Allah!”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The one who came forward and sat down, he sought a place and Allah granted him a place. The one who sat behind you, he felt shy and Allah was shy with him. And the one who went away, he turned away and Allah turned away from him.”

Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) said about the person who sits in the middle of a gathering: "According to the blessed words of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), a curse has been pronounced upon this person."

Abdullah bin Abdur Rahman, may Allah have mercy on him, says: I have heard that Hazrat Luqman, peace be upon him, said: "O my beloved son! Do not acquire knowledge in order to boast before the scholars, to argue with fools (and the ignorant), or to seek fame and respect in gatherings."

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever hears a word of wisdom and does not attribute it to the one who said it, but only narrates what he has heard of evil, his example is like that of a man who came to a shepherd and said: O shepherd! Give me a goat that is fit for sacrifice. The shepherd said: Go and grab the ear of the best goat (and take it). But he went and grabbed the ear of the shepherd's dog and took it away."
