It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) met me and said: O Mu'adh! I love you. I said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, I also love you. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I advise you with a few words, say these words at the end of every prayer: "O Allah! Help me to remember You, to thank You, and to worship You in the best manner."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) sent him towards Yemen, he gave him some advices. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) was riding, and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was walking alongside his mount. After finishing his conversation, he said: "Mu'adh! It is possible that after this year you may not meet me again, and it may be that you pass by my mosque or my grave." Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) wept out of grief at the thought of separation from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned his face towards Madinah Munawwarah and said: "The people closest to me among all people are those who possess the quality of taqwa (piety), whoever they may be and wherever they may be."

It is narrated from Amr bin Maymoon Audhi, he says: The agent of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, our master Mu'adh bin Jabal Yamani, may Allah be pleased with him, came to us. I heard that at the time of suhoor he said "Allahu Akbar" in a loud and clear voice. Love for him settled in my heart, and I did not separate from him until his death. I even put soil on his grave after his death in Sham. After that, I did not consider who was the most knowledgeable person after him. So I went to the service of Abdullah bin Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him. He said to me: What will be your condition when your rulers will delay the prayers, i.e., perform them out of their proper time? I asked: If I face such circumstances, what do you command me to do? He said: You should perform the prayer at its earliest time, and count the prayer performed with them as nafl (supererogatory).

It is narrated from Abu Muneeb Ahadab that Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) delivered a sermon in Syria and, mentioning the plague, said: The plague is a mercy from your Lord upon you, and a supplication of your Prophet, and for those before you, it was the cause of the death of the righteous. O Allah! Send down upon the family of Mu’adh their share from this mercy. After this, Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) descended from the pulpit and came to his son Abdur Rahman. Abdur Rahman said: (الْحَقُّ مِنْ رَبِّكَ فَلا تَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُمْتَرِينَ) .... The truth is from your Lord, so do not be among those who doubt. Hearing this, Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (سَتَجِدُنِي إِنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنَ الصَّابِرِينَ) .... Soon, if Allah wills, you will find me among the patient ones.

It is narrated from Ismail bin Ubaidullah that Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) states that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon you people will migrate towards the land of Sham, and it will be conquered at your hands, and among you a disease like a piece of flesh (i.e., plague) will enter, which will affect the lower part of a person's abdomen. Allah Almighty will grant people the rank of martyrdom through this disease and will purify their deeds. O Allah! If You know that Mu'adh bin Jabal truly heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), then grant him and his family an abundant share of this disease. Consequently, those people were afflicted by the plague, and not one of them survived. Sayyiduna Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) had his index finger wounded, so he used to say that he would not like his finger to be saved and for him to receive red camels.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Irbad bin Sariyah Salmi (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying, when he would call us for the pre-dawn meal (suhoor) in the month of Ramadan: Come to the blessed meal. Then, on one occasion, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: O Allah! Grant Mu‘awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) knowledge of writing, reading, and calculation, and protect him from punishment.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Abi Umairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), mentioning Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him), said: O Allah! Make him a rightly guided guide and grant guidance to people through him.

Abu Umayyah Amr bin Yahya bin Sa'id reports that I heard my grandfather Sa'id bin Amr bin Sa'id bin 'As narrate that Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to carry a water vessel and walk alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). When he fell ill, after him, Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) would carry that vessel and walk alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). On one occasion, Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) was helping the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) perform ablution, when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked up at him once or twice and said: "Mu'awiyah! If you are ever made a leader, then fear Allah and act with justice." Sayyiduna Mu'awiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: After hearing this statement, I was certain that I would definitely be given leadership (because whatever the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said would surely come to pass).

Abu Majliz narrates that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) entered a house in which Ibn Aamir and Ibn Zubair were also present. Ibn Aamir stood up, but Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair remained seated. Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Ibn Aamir: Sit down, for I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever desires that people stand up for him, let him prepare his abode in the Hellfire.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) informed him that he saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) cut his hair with a long, broad fruit. Mujahid and Ata say: We said to Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him): This report has only reached us from Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him). He replied: Sayyiduna Muawiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) is not to be suspected regarding the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) (i.e., he is truthful in conveying this report).
