It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Sayyiduna Abu Bakr came to the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and sought permission to enter. Since there were many people at the door, he was not granted permission. After a short while, Sayyiduna Umar also sought permission, but he too was not allowed to enter. After a little while, both of them were granted permission and they entered the house. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was present, and the pure wives were around him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting silently. Sayyiduna Umar thought that he should say something, perhaps it would make the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smile. So he said, "O Messenger of Allah! If you see the daughter of Zayd (my wife) asking me for maintenance right now, I would press her neck." At this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much that his blessed teeth became visible. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "These women whom you see with me are also asking me for maintenance." Hearing this, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr stood up to hit Sayyidah Aisha, and Sayyiduna Umar moved towards Hafsa, and both of them said, "Do you ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for something which he does not possess?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped both of them, and all the pure wives said, "By Allah, after today we will not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything which he does not have." After this, Allah revealed the verse of choice (Ayat al-Takhyir). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) first addressed Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) and said, "I want to mention something before you. I do not want you to be hasty in this matter, rather consult your parents first and then give me your answer." She asked, "What is that matter?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited to her the verse of choice. Upon hearing it, Sayyidah Aisha said, "Will I consult my parents about you? I choose Allah and His Messenger." However, she requested, "Please do not mention my answer to any other wife." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah has not sent me as one who is harsh, but rather as one who gives knowledge and makes things easy. Therefore, if any of the wives asks me about your answer, I will surely tell her."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "So-and-so has a fruit-bearing tree in my garden. He has caused me so much trouble that because of this one tree, I am greatly distressed." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) called that man and said, "Sell me the tree you have in so-and-so's garden." He refused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Gift it to me." He again refused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then sell it in exchange for a tree in Paradise." He again refused. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I have not seen anyone more miserly than you, except the one who is miserly in greeting (salaam)."

Saeed bin Harith says that once we went to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). He was wrapped in a single cloth and was praying, although another sheet was lying so close to him that if he wanted to stretch out his hand and pick it up, his hand could easily reach it. When he finished the prayer with salam, we asked him about this issue. He replied, "I did this so that fools like you may also see, and so that the concession which the Prophet (peace be upon him) has given may spread among the people through Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him)." Then he said, "Once I went out on a journey with the Prophet (peace be upon him). I came to the Prophet (peace be upon him) at night, and he was praying in a single cloth. I also had only one cloth on my body, so I wrapped it around myself and stood by the side of the Prophet (peace be upon him). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'Jabir, what is this way of wrapping?' When you stand for prayer and you have only one cloth and it is wide, then wrap it well around yourself, and if it is tight, then make it like a waist-wrapper (tahband)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went with one of his companions to the house of an Ansari and greeted him with salam. He said, "If you have water left over from the night in this vessel, that is fine; otherwise, we will drink directly from it." At that time, the man was watering his garden. He said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "I have water left over from the night," and took both of them towards his tent. Upon reaching there, he poured water into a bowl and milked a goat over it, which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) drank, and after the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the companion who had come with him drank.

Abu Sumayyah says that once there was a difference of opinion among us regarding the passage through Hell, about which it is mentioned in the Qur'an that every person will pass through Hell. Some people began to say that Muslims will not enter Hell, while others said that all will enter, but Allah Almighty will grant salvation to the righteous from Hell. In this regard, I went to meet Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) and submitted to him: There has arisen a difference among us on this issue; some people are saying that Muslims will not enter Hell, and some say that all will enter. Upon this, he pointed towards his ears with his finger and said: May these ears become deaf if I did not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that "Wird" means entry, and there will not remain any good or bad person who will not enter Hell. However, for the believer, it will become a source of coolness and safety just as it became for Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), until Hell will begin to cry out due to the coolness of the believers. Then Allah will grant salvation to the righteous from it and will leave the wrongdoers in it on their knees.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) shrouded Sayyiduna Hamza in a single cloth, and there were stripes on it.
