It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: To have the ability to call the adhan with the intention of reward for the sake of Allah’s pleasure is more beloved to me than jihad, Hajj, and ‘Umrah.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the ‘Isha prayer one night, so Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) called out to him: (O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him) the prayer, the women and children have fallen asleep. So he came out while drops of water were falling from his head, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying:“This is the (proper) time (for ‘Isha prayer), if I did not consider it difficult for my ummah.”

Ibn Jurayj narrated: I said to Ata’ (may Allah have mercy on him): At what time do you prefer the Imam and an individual to pray the ‘Isha prayer? He said: I heard Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) say: One night, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the ‘Isha prayer until the people fell asleep, then woke up, then fell asleep again, then woke up, then fell asleep again. Then Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: Prayer, prayer! The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came out. Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: It is as if I am looking at him, and drops of water were falling from his head, and he had placed his blessed hand on his head and was saying:“If I did not consider it difficult for my Ummah, I would have commanded them to pray at this (late) time.”

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) combined and performed Zuhr and Asr, and Maghrib and Isha prayers together during residence and travel.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: Whoever from the Ummah of Muhammad sends Salat or Salam upon Muhammad (peace be upon him), it reaches him: so-and-so sends Salat upon you, and so-and-so sends Salam upon you.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever eats from these foul-smelling vegetables (such as garlic, onion, and radish, etc.), then he should not come near our mosques, because that which causes discomfort to humans also causes discomfort to the angels."

Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Garlic was not found in our area, rather there was onion and gindana (a type of vegetable), so we were prohibited from it.

It is narrated from Hazrat Ata (may Allah have mercy on him) that he ate radishes so that he could make her smell its odor.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray on a mat made of palm leaves.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) praying in a single garment, using its extra part to protect himself from the heat and cold of the ground.
