It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: We were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said: If you do not find water tomorrow, you will remain thirsty. The fast travelers went ahead to search for water. I stayed with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). The mount of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) turned off the path and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) dozed off on the mount. I supported you a little to straighten you, so you (peace and blessings be upon him) became straight, then again you leaned, I straightened you (peace and blessings be upon him), so you became straight, then again due to drowsiness you leaned so much or you were jolted that you (peace and blessings be upon him) were about to fall from the mount, I straightened you, so you became alert and asked: Who are you? I said: I am Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him). You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Since when have you been walking with me like this? I said: The whole night has passed like this. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: As you have protected the Messenger of Allah, may Allah protect you. Then you (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It would be better if we stop somewhere and rest. Then you (peace and blessings be upon him) went towards a tree and dismounted there. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: See if any man is visible? I said: Here comes a rider, here come two riders, until the number of those coming became seven. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You keep watch for the time of prayer for us. Then we slept and slept so much that the heat of the sun woke us up, we woke up, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his ride and set off, we also went with you for a while, then you dismounted and asked: Do you have water? I said: Yes, I have some water in the ablution vessel. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Bring it. I brought the water vessel to you (peace and blessings be upon him), you said: Take water from it and perform ablution. So the people performed ablution, and a sip of water remained in the vessel. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: Abu Qatadah! Preserve it, soon this sip will have great significance. Then Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the call to prayer and everyone performed the two units before Fajr, and then the Fajr prayer was performed in congregation. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) mounted his ride and we also mounted, some of us were talking to each other saying that we have been greatly negligent regarding the prayer. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) heard this and said: What are you talking about? If it is worldly talk, then it is your own matter, but if it is a religious matter, then ask me. We said: O Messenger of Allah! We have been greatly negligent regarding the prayer. You (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Delay in prayer due to sleep is not negligence, negligence is when a person is awake and delays the prayer. When such a situation arises, perform the prayer as soon as you remember, and in the future, perform that prayer at its appointed time. Then you (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Estimate where those who went ahead have reached by now? The Companions submitted that you yourself had said yesterday that if you do not find water tomorrow, you will remain thirsty. That is why people have gone out in search of water. In the morning, when people did not find the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) among them, they began to say to each other that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) must be at some place where there is water. Among those people were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him), both of them said: O people! It is not possible that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would leave you behind and go himself to the water place first. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to the Companions three times that if people accept the words of Abu Bakr and Umar, they will be well off. When the sun rose high and the heat became intense, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appeared before the people, so the people cried out: O Messenger of Allah! We are dying of thirst and our necks are about to be cut off due to the severity of thirst. You (peace and blessings be upon him) heard their words and said: Destruction will not come upon you. Then you (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Qatadah! Bring the water vessel. I brought that vessel to you, so you said: Open my cup and bring it. I opened it and presented it to you, so you poured water from that vessel into the cup and began to give it to the people to drink. A crowd gathered around you, so the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Treat each other well, soon each of you will leave fully quenched. So all the people drank the water, only I and the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) remained. Then you poured into the cup for me and said: Abu Qatadah! (may Allah be pleased with him) Take this and drink. I said: O Messenger of Allah! You drink first. You said: The one who serves others drinks last. So I drank the water and after me you drank. And as much water remained in the vessel as was in it before. That day the number of people was three hundred. It is narrated from Abdullah that I was narrating this hadith in the Grand Mosque when Imran bin Husain (may Allah be pleased with him) heard my voice. He said: Who is the person narrating? I said: I am Abdullah bin Rabah Ansari. So he said: The people of the nation know their own matters best. Anyway, narrate carefully. Among the seven people who gathered that night, I am also one. When I finished narrating the hadith, he said: I did not think that anyone other than me would remember this hadith. Hammad bin Salamah narrated that Humayd Tawil narrated to us from Bakr bin Abdullah Muzani, from Abdullah bin Rabah, from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), and he from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), in the same way. In it, there is also this addition: When the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would stop somewhere at night to rest and a part of the night remained, he would use his right hand as a pillow, and when morning was very near, he would place his head on his right palm and straighten his arm upwards.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: A person better than me, that is, Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him), narrated to me that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Ammar bin Yasir (may Allah be pleased with him): A rebellious group will kill you.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him and his family, heard Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Qais, that is, Abu Musa Ash'ari, may Allah be pleased with him, reciting (the Qur'an), and said: He has been granted a melodious voice like that of Allah's Prophet Dawud, peace be upon him.

It is narrated from Sayyida Aisha Siddiqa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) heard Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) reciting (the Qur'an), so he said: "Abu Musa has indeed been given a melodious voice like that of the family of Dawud."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went out at the time of ‘Isha and met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) took his hand and brought him to the mosque. There, they heard the voice of a man reciting. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do you think he is showing off?”Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) remained silent. Then that man supplicated as follows:“O Allah! I ask You by virtue of my bearing witness that You are Allah, there is no deity except You, the One, the Self-Sufficient, who neither begets nor is begotten, and there is none comparable to Him.”(O Allah! I ask You by this means, that I testify that You are the only Allah, there is no god but You, You are One, You are Self-Sufficient, You did not beget nor were You begotten, and there is none equal to You.) Upon hearing this supplication, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“By Him in Whose hand is my soul! He has supplicated to Allah by His greatest name; whenever Allah is asked by this name, He grants, and whenever supplication is made by it, He accepts.”Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The next night, I went out at the time of ‘Isha, and again met the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He took my hand and brought me to the mosque, and the voice of the same man’s recitation was coming. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Do you think he is showing off?”Sayyiduna Buraidah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“O Messenger of Allah! Do you think he is showing off?”The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“He is not showing off, rather he is a sincere believer. He is not showing off, rather he is a sincere believer.”I (Buraidah) looked and saw that it was Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him), who was reciting aloud in a corner of the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Abdullah bin Qais Ash‘ari (may Allah be pleased with him) has been given a melodious voice like that of Dawud (peace be upon him).”I said:“O Messenger of Allah! Shall I inform him of this?”He said:“Yes, and inform him.”When I informed him, he said to me:“You are my sincere friend, because you have informed me of a special statement of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I said to a man, "Come, let us dedicate this day of ours to Allah Almighty." By Allah, it felt as if on that day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was also present among us. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed and said: "There are some people who say to others, 'Come, let us dedicate this day of ours to Allah Almighty.'" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this statement so many times that I wished the earth would swallow me up.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Allah! Grant Your servant Ubaid Abu Amir a rank on the Day of Resurrection higher than most people.

The narrator of the hadith, Asim, says: My teacher Abu Wa'il stated: I am certain that Allah Almighty will not gather the killer of Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) together in Hell.
