The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you had said 'Bismillah', the angels would have carried you away while the people were watching." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this to Sayyiduna Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him) when he said "Oh!" due to some pain. This hadith is also narrated mursal from Sayyiduna Jabir, Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with them both), and Ibn Shihab.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked for food. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave him half a wasq of barley. That man, his wife, and his guest kept eating from it, (it was so blessed that it would not finish), one day he measured it, and then it finished. Then he came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you had not measured it, you would have continued eating from it and it would have remained for you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Aswad bin Sari’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Allah is the One who loves praise the most, and Allah is the One who accepts excuses the most.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“The One who is most patient upon hearing something distressing is Allah. People claim that He has a son and make others His equals, but He (instead of taking immediate revenge) grants them well-being, protects them, provides them with sustenance, and bestows (many blessings) upon them.”

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah! When we are with you, our (state of faith and Islam) is different, and when we are with others, it is different (we feel as if this is hypocrisy)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "What do you think about your Lord and your Prophet?" They said: In public and in private (we affirm that) Allah is our Lord and you are our Prophet. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not hypocrisy." In the narration of Abu Ya'la, the words "your Prophet" are mentioned.

Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: We were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a battle. A Muhajir struck an Ansari on the buttocks with his hand or foot. The Ansari, considering it an issue of family honor and zeal, called out to the Ansar: "O Ansar!" In response, the Muhajir said: "O Muhajirun!" The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) heard this and said: "What are these calls of ignorance?" They said: O Messenger of Allah! A Muhajir teased an Ansari, (because of this these calls started). He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Leave these (associations), they are filthy." Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to Madinah, the number of Ansar was greater, but later the number of Muhajirun also increased. When Abdullah bin Ubayy the hypocrite heard this, he said: Have these people reached this stage? When we return to Madinah, we, the honorable ones, will expel these lowly ones from Madinah. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: (O Messenger of Allah!) Give me permission, I will behead this hypocrite. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Leave him, lest people start saying that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kills his own companions."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Razin and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) that the Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The example of a believer is like that of a honeybee, which consumes pure things (from the earth as food) and produces pure fruit."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of a believer is like that of a date palm tree, for everything of it is beneficial."

Abdur Rahman bin Jubair bin Nufair narrates from his father, who says: One day we were sitting with Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him), when a man passed by. Upon seeing Sayyiduna Miqdad, he said: Glad tidings to those two eyes which saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). We wish that we had seen what you saw, and reached wherever you were present (i.e., that we had kept the company of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him). Sayyiduna Miqdad became angry. I was greatly surprised, as the man had only said something good and virtuous (so why was he getting angry)? Then he turned towards that man and said: What is it that incites a person to wish for a situation from which Allah, the Exalted, has kept him absent, for he does not know what his state would have been had he been present at that time? (Just think) There were also people present with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whom Allah, the Exalted, threw into Hell on their noses; they neither accepted his call nor affirmed his truthfulness. Do you not give thanks to Allah, the Exalted, for this blessing, that when He created you, you recognized your Lord, affirmed the teachings of the Prophet, and the hardships of others sufficed for you? (i.e., you were born into a Muslim household, and those before you endured trials and tribulations to preserve and establish the religion for you). When Allah, the Exalted, sent His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the circumstances for the people of truth were so severe that among the prophets who came during the past tribulations and periods of ignorance, there is no example like it. The opponents thought that idol worship was the best religion. You (peace and blessings be upon him) brought the Furqan Majeed, which distinguished between truth and falsehood, and created such a separation between father and child that a man began to consider his father, his son, or his brother as a disbeliever. Allah, the Exalted, unlocked the locks upon their hearts. He knew that if he died in that state, he would enter Hell, and how could he find peace knowing that his beloved was in Hell? And this is the very thing about which Allah, the Exalted, said: "And they pray: Our Lord! Grant us from our wives and our offspring the comfort of our eyes." (Surah Al-Furqan: 74)

Yazid bin Muhallab says: When I became the governor of Khurasan, I said: Take me to a man who is most excellently endowed with the qualities of goodness. So I was brought to Abu Burdah bin Abu Musa Ash'ari. When I saw him, I found him outstanding, and when I spoke to him, I found his inner self superior to his outward appearance. I said: I appoint you as the leader of such-and-such duty. He tried to excuse himself, but I refused to accept his excuse. He said: O Amir! Shall I not narrate to you a hadith which my father heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? I said: Please narrate. He said: My father heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever takes responsibility for a task for which he is not qualified, let him prepare his abode in Hell." O Amir! I testify that I am not qualified for the responsibility you wish to assign to me. I said to him: All this conversation of yours has made me even more eager and desirous to assign this position to you, so go and take up this responsibility; now I will not excuse you. Hearing this, he went and stayed there for some time (and continued to fulfill his responsibilities). One day, he sought permission to come to Amir Yazid. When permission was granted, he came and said: O Amir! Shall I not narrate to you a hadith which my father narrated to me from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Please narrate. Abu Burdah said: That hadith is: "Cursed is the person who asks by the name of Allah, and cursed is the one who is asked by the name of Allah and does not give to the one who asks, except if he asks for something improper." Now, I ask you by the name of Allah, O Amir! Accept my excuse regarding this position. So he accepted his excuse.
