It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: If there is any good in your medicines, then it is in cupping, in a spoonful of honey, or in cauterization with fire in a manner suitable to the illness, but I do not like cauterization.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicated for the tribe of Thaqif, saying: O Allah, grant guidance to the tribe of Thaqif.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever intoxicates in large quantities, its small quantity is also forbidden.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we set out with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for the expedition of Dhat al-Riqa’. In this expedition, a woman from among the polytheists was also killed. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) set out to return, the husband of that woman came back. Seeing his wife dead, he swore that he would not rest until he had shed blood among the companions of Muhammad. After taking this oath, he set out following the footprints of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Meanwhile, when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) reached a certain place and camped, he said,“Who will keep watch tonight?”At this, a Muhajir and an Ansari volunteered and said,“O Messenger of Allah! We will do it.”The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said,“Then do this: go and keep watch at the mouth of this mountain pass,”because they had camped in a mountain pass. When both of them reached there, the Ansari asked the Muhajir,“Which part of the night do you prefer that I suffice for you? The first or the last?”He said,“You take the first part, and I will take the second.”So the Muhajir lay down and slept, and the Ansari stood up and began to pray. Meanwhile, the polytheist arrived. When he saw the figure of a man from afar, he realized that this was the guard of the people. So he aimed from a distance and shot an arrow at him, which struck his body. The Ansari pulled it out and threw it away, and continued to pray steadfastly. The polytheist shot a second arrow, which also struck his body. The Ansari pulled it out and threw it away, then went into bowing and prostration and woke up his companion. He told him to sit down, and he himself jumped up. When the polytheist saw both of them, he realized that the people had become aware of him, so he fled. Then the Muhajir, seeing the Ansari’s flowing blood, said in amazement,“Subhan Allah!”and asked,“Why didn’t you wake me up?”The Ansari replied,“I was reciting a surah and I did not like to end my prayer without completing it. But when I saw that he had showered me with arrows, then I bowed and woke you up. By Allah, if I had not feared that the duty of keeping watch would be neglected, which the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had assigned to me, my soul would have departed before I finished that surah.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a person from eating with his left hand, or walking with only one shoe, or wrapping his body in a single garment, or sitting in such a way with one knee up that his private parts become exposed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever swears a false oath upon my pulpit, let him prepare his abode in Hell.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to teach us the way of performing Istikhara just as he used to teach us a surah from the Qur'an. He said: When any one of you is concerned about a matter, he should pray two rak‘ahs other than the obligatory prayers, then say this supplication: O Allah, I seek goodness from You by virtue of Your knowledge, and I seek ability from You by virtue of Your power, and I ask You from Your great bounty. For You have power, I have none. You know, I do not know, and You are the Knower of the unseen. O Allah, if You know that this matter (here he should mention his matter) is good for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affairs, then decree it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for me. And if You know that this matter is bad for me in my religion, my livelihood, and the outcome of my affairs, then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree for me what is good wherever it may be, and then make me content with it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the house of an Ansari to visit him during his illness. Nearby, a small stream was flowing. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him for water to drink and said: "If you have water left over from the night in this vessel, then that is fine; otherwise, we will drink directly (from the stream)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Every good deed is charity, and it is also a good deed that you meet your brother with a cheerful face or pour some water from your bucket into his vessel.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever fasts in the month of Ramadan and then follows it with six days of fasting in the month of Shawwal, it is as if he has fasted for the whole year.
