It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that he used to say: "Hold discussions of knowledge among yourselves (mentioning the hadith), for one hadith becomes a means of reminding of another hadith."

It is narrated from Abd al-Rahman bin Abi Sa'id al-Khudri that my father (Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id) said to me: "I have grown old, and my companions and close friends have gone, so take hold of my hand (when I walk)." The narrator says: He walked leaning on me until he reached a place at the farthest edge of al-Baqi' where (usually) graves were not dug. Having reached there, he said: "O my son, when I die, bury me right here. Do not pitch a tent over my grave, do not bring fire along with my funeral, let no wailing woman weep over me, and do not announce my death (formally, in a loud voice); rather, take me by the lane of Amqah, and let your pace be brisk (khabab)." Then he passed away on a Friday. Because of his instruction, I disliked informing the people, but the people came to me and began asking: "When will you bring him out (for burial)?" I said: "When I have finished preparing him (washing and shrouding), I will bring him out." (The narrator says:) Then al-Baqi' became filled with people.

It is narrated from Abu Nadrah that we said to Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him): "You narrate to us very impressive hadiths, and we fear that we may add or omit something (when narrating them), so if only we could write them down." He said: "I will never have you write them, nor will we make it (a written book) like the Qur'an; rather, memorize from us just as we memorized." Then on another occasion he said: "Take (the hadiths) from us just as we took them from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of Uhud, the blessed forehead of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was wounded. Malik bin Sinan (who was the father of Abu Sa'id) came to him, sucked the blood from his (peace and blessings be upon him) face (with his mouth) and swallowed it. At this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever would be pleased to look at a man whose blood has mixed with my blood, let him look at Malik bin Sinan."

It is narrated from Buraid bin Abdullah. And the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) have also recorded it. Mention of the virtues of Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both)

It is narrated from Wahb bin Kaysan that Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) was addressed (by his kunyah): "O Abu Abdullah!"

It is narrated from Mus'ab bin Abdullah al-Zubayri that the kunyah of Jabir bin Abdullah bin Amr bin Haram bin Tha'labah bin Haram bin Ka'b bin Ghanm bin Ka'b bin Salimah bin Sa'd bin Ali bin Asad bin Saridah bin Tazid bin Jusham bin al-Khazraj was Abu Abdullah.

It is narrated from Abu Nu'aym that Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed away in the year 79 AH.

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Umar (al-Waqidi) that Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) took part in the Pledge of al-Aqabah along with the seventy Ansar who pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) there, and on that day he was among the youngest of them. He intended to take part in the Battle of Badr, but his father left him behind to look after his nine sisters; and when he (his father) set out for Uhud, he again left him behind (so that he would look after his sisters). However, Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) took part alongside the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in all the battles after that.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "On the day of Badr I used to draw water from the well (and give it) to my companions."
