Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, laughs at two persons; one killed the other, yet both enter Paradise. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! How will this happen? He (peace be upon him) said: One fought in the way of Allah and was martyred. Then the one who killed him embraced Islam, fought in the way of Allah, and was martyred.

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Both will not be gathered together in Hell in such a way that they would harm each other. The people asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who are those people?" He (peace be upon him) said: The Muslim who kills a disbeliever, then remains steadfast upon righteousness.

Sayyiduna Abu Mas'ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) says that a man brought a she-camel with its bridle and said, "I give this in the way of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, "In exchange for this, you will receive seven hundred she-camels with bridles on the Day of Resurrection."

Sidna Abu Mas'ud Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) says that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! My (riding) animal is gone, now please provide me with a mount." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I do not have a mount." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I tell him of someone who will give him a mount?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever guides to a good deed, for him is a reward equal to that of the one who does it."

‘Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) on the pulpit explaining the statement of Allah,“Prepare against them whatever force you can.”He was saying:“Be aware! Force means archery. Be aware! Force means archery. (Then again) Be aware! Force means archery.”

Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "Soon, several lands will be conquered at your hands, and Allah Almighty will suffice for you. Then, none of you should abandon the practice of archery (that is, learning marksmanship: with pistols, Kalashnikovs, rockets, missiles, etc.)."

‘It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdur Rahman bin Shumasah that Faqim Lakhmi said to Sayyiduna Uqbah bin Amir (may Allah be pleased with him):“In this old age, you go to and from these two targets; it must be difficult for you.”Sayyiduna Uqbah (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“If I had not heard one thing from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I would not have borne this hardship.”Harith said:“I asked Ibn Shumasah, ‘What was that thing?’ He said: ‘The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever learns archery and then abandons it, he is not from us, or he is sinful.’”

Sayyiduna Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) rubbing the forelock of a horse with his finger and saying: Blessing is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection, that is, reward and spoils (goodness of both this world and the Hereafter).

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is blessing in the forelocks of horses.

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) disliked the "ashkal" horse. In another narration, it is mentioned that an "ashkal" horse is one whose right leg and left foreleg are white, or whose right foreleg and left leg are white. (And according to the linguists, the correct definition is that "ashkal" refers to a horse whose three legs are white, but there is no whiteness above.)
