Taliq bin Habib says that I was among the most vehement deniers of intercession until one day I met Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). I recited to him all those verses in which Allah Almighty has mentioned the eternal stay of the people of Hell in Hell. Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Taliq, what do you think, do you recite the Qur'an more than me? There are those who recite the Qur'an more than me, and you yourself know the Sunnah of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more than me." He said, "All the verses you have recited pertain to the polytheists. However, those people from whom sins have been committed will be taken out of Hell after punishment. May these two ears become deaf if I did not hear the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that they will be taken out of Hell, even though the verses you recite, we also used to recite them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Sayyiduna Abu Bakr As-Siddiq when he performed the Witr prayer. He replied: After the Isha prayer, in the first part of the night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked the same question to Sayyiduna Umar, and he replied: In the last part of the night. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Abu Bakr, you have preferred the aspect in which there is certainty, and Umar, you have preferred the aspect in which there is strength.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man passed away. We gave him a bath, applied perfume, dressed him in a shroud, and brought him to the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, for the funeral prayer. After walking a few steps, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked whether he had any debt. The people informed him that he owed two dinars. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, turned back. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah took responsibility for his debt upon himself. We presented ourselves before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah said: O Messenger of Allah! His debt is upon me. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The right of the debtor is now upon you, and the deceased is free from it. He replied: Yes. Upon this, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, led his funeral prayer. Then, after a day had passed, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked him about the two dinars. He replied: He only died yesterday. In any case, the next day when he presented himself before the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, he said: I have paid his debt. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Now his body has cooled.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a woman who pleased him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) immediately went to his noble wife, Sayyidah Zainab, who at that time was tanning a hide, and fulfilled his physical needs with her. He then said: "A woman comes in the form of Satan. Whoever among you sees a woman and she pleases him, he should go to his wife, for this will remove the thoughts that have arisen in his heart."

Then he came at the time of Maghrib and said: Stand up and offer the prayer. So, after the disappearance of twilight, he offered the Isha prayer. Then he came again at the time of Fajr and said: Stand up and offer the prayer. So, at the time of the break of dawn, he offered the Fajr prayer. Then, the next day, he came again at the time of Zuhr and said: Stand up and offer the prayer. So, when the shadow of everything became equal to its length, he offered the Zuhr prayer. Then he came at the time of Asr and said: Stand up and offer the prayer. So, when the shadow of everything became twice its length, he offered the Asr prayer. Then he came at the time of Maghrib; its time was the same, it did not change. Then he came for the Isha prayer when half or a third of the night had passed; the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the Isha prayer at that time. Then he came for the Fajr prayer when the light had spread well and said: Stand up and offer the prayer. So, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the prayer. After this, Sayyiduna Jibreel said: The time for the prayers is actually between these two times.
