It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: O Ubayy! I have been commanded by Allah Almighty to recite such-and-such Surah before you. I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Has my name been mentioned in the presence of Allah? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes. Abdullah bin Abza said to Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Mundhir! Were you pleased upon hearing this? He said: Why should I not be pleased, when Allah Almighty Himself has said: {قُلْ بِفَضْلِ اللّٰہِ وَبِرَحْمَتِہِ فَبِذٰلِکَ فَلْتَفْرَحُوْا ہُوَ خَیْرٌ مِمَّا یَجْمَعُوْنَ} … O Prophet! Say to them that they should rejoice in the bounty of Allah and His mercy; that is better than what they accumulate of worldly wealth and possessions. (Since the Mutawatir recitation of the Holy Qur'an is "fal-yafrahu"), it is narrated from Imam Ahmad's shaykh Mu’ammal that I asked my shaykh Sufyan, is this recitation "fal-tafrahu" found in the hadith? He said: Yes.

Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): What do you say about the illnesses that befall us? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They become an expiation for sins. My father said: Even if the illness is minor? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if it is a thorn or something greater than that. Upon hearing this, my father supplicated against himself that fever should not leave him until his death, but that the fever should not prevent him from Hajj, Umrah, striving in the way of Allah, or performing obligatory prayers in congregation. After that, whoever touched my father would feel the heat of the fever, until he passed away.

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 and his family) said to Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him): Allah has commanded me to recite Surah Al-Bayyina before you. Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: Did Allah mention my name before you? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) replied: Yes. Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) began to weep.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): O Commander of the Faithful! I have heard and learned the Noble Qur'an directly from the one who received it from Jibreel (peace be upon him), while it was still fresh.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy ibn Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) led the people in prayer and, by mistake, omitted a verse. Afterwards, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Did any of you notice my mistake in the recitation?" Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I realized it; you left out such-and-such verse." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I knew that if anyone would notice it, it would be you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ubayy bin Ka'b (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him: Which verse in the Book of Allah is the greatest in rank? He replied: Allah and His Messenger know best. But when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated the question several times, Sayyiduna Ubayy (may Allah be pleased with him) said: It is Ayat al-Kursi. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu al-Mundhir! May this knowledge be blessed for you. By Him in Whose hand is my soul, this verse has a tongue and two lips, and it glorifies and sanctifies Allah near the foot of Allah's Throne.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) as the commander of the army, news reached the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that people were objecting to Usama (may Allah be pleased with him) being made the commander and were criticizing his appointment as leader. So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and said: "You people object to Usama being appointed as the commander of the army and criticize his being made the leader. You did the same before regarding his father, even though he was truly deserving of being made the leader. And he was the most beloved to me. After him, this son of his is among the dearest people to me. I advise you to treat him well; he is among your best people."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The most beloved to me is Usama (bin Zaid), apart from Fatimah and others.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) became severely ill, I and my companions all stayed in a suburb of Madinah. I went to serve the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), at that time he was completely silent and could not speak due to the severity of the illness. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would raise both his hands towards the sky and then gesture towards me by lowering them. I understood that he was praying for me.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Usama bin Zaid (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would take me and seat me on one of his thighs, and seat Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) on his other thigh. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) would embrace us to his chest and say: O Allah! I show affection to them, so You also have mercy on them.
