It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to visit me when I was ill. At that time, he was riding a mule, not a horse.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the sea: Its water is pure and its dead (fish) is lawful.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was once on a journey with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Suddenly, while walking, my camel stopped at a place and would not move. I heard the voice of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Jabir, what has happened to your camel?" I replied, "O Messenger of Allah! I do not understand what has happened to it." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Hold it and give me the whip." I gave the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the whip. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) struck it once, and it took me ahead of everyone. On this occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Jabir, will you sell me your camel?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "When we reach Madinah." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Did you get married after your father's martyrdom?" I replied, "Yes." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "To a virgin or to a previously married woman?" I replied, "To a previously married woman." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why did you not marry a virgin, so that she would play with you and you would play with her, she would make you laugh and you would make her laugh?"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, forbade eating onions and garlic. But when we were overcome by necessity, we ate them. Upon this, the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever eats from this foul-smelling tree should not come near our mosques, for that which causes harm to humans also causes harm to the angels.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you go to sleep at night, close the doors, cover the vessels even if only with a piece of wood, extinguish the lamps, and tie the mouths of the water-skins."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever meets Allah in such a state that he does not associate anyone with Him, he will enter Paradise; and whoever meets Allah in such a state that he associates someone with Him, he will enter Hell.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Keep your wealth with yourself, do not give it to anyone, and whoever gives something to someone for a lifetime, then it becomes his, both during his life and after his death.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once during the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a severe heat and a solar eclipse occurred. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led the companions in prayer and stood for a long time until people began to faint. Then he bowed for a long time, then raised his head and stood for a long time, and did the same again. He performed two prostrations and then stood up and led the second rak'ah in the same manner. During the prayer, he began to move backwards, and after a while, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved forward and stood in his place. On this occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Everything that you have been promised, I saw during this prayer. Paradise was presented before me; if I had wanted to pluck a bunch of its fruits, I could have done so. Then Hell was also brought before me. This was the time when you saw me moving backwards, because I feared that its flames might reach you. I saw in Hell the woman with the cat, who had tied it up, neither feeding it herself nor letting it go so that it could eat the insects of the earth and fill its belly, until it died in that state. Similarly, I saw Abu Thumamah Amr bin Malik in Hell, dragging his intestines. And the sun and the moon are two signs among the signs of Allah which Allah shows you, so when they are eclipsed, perform prayer until they become clear."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in the valley of Nakhlah. The Prophet (peace be upon him) led the companions in the Zuhr prayer. The polytheists intended to attack the Muslims and said, "Leave them; after this prayer, they will perform another prayer which is dearer to them than even their children." Sayyiduna Jibreel came down and informed the Prophet (peace be upon him) about this. So, on this occasion, the Prophet (peace be upon him) divided us into two rows and stood at the front himself. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said the takbeer and we also said the takbeer with him. Then he bowed (in ruku‘) and we all bowed with him. Then, when he raised his head from ruku‘ and went into prostration (sajdah), only those in the first row performed sajdah with him, while the second row remained standing facing the enemy. When the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the people of the first row stood up, the people of the back row performed sajdah. After this, the people of the back row came forward and the people of the front row went to the back. Then we all bowed together, and when the Prophet (peace be upon him) performed sajdah, the people of the first row also performed sajdah, and when they sat down, the people of the back row also performed sajdah.

Abdullah bin Muhammad says that once I was present in the service of Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), and with me were Muhammad bin Amr and Asbathhi, who had set out to seek knowledge. We asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) about the issue of performing ablution after eating something cooked on fire. He replied: Once I went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Prophet’s Mosque to meet him, but I did not find him there. I inquired and was told that he had gone to the place of As-Suf to the daughters of Sa’d bin Rabi’ in order to distribute their father’s inheritance among them. These were the first women in the era of Islam to receive their father’s inheritance. I left from there and reached the place of As-Suf, where the wealth of Sa’d bin Rabi’ was. I saw that a bed made of date-palm fibers had been sprinkled with water to soften it for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he was sitting on it. Meanwhile, food was brought, which included bread and meat, specially prepared for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ate from it, and others also ate. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) urinated and performed ablution for the Zuhr prayer. The people also performed ablution, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led them in the Zuhr prayer. After completing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sat down again and completed the remaining work of distributing the inheritance until the time for prayer arrived and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished with their matter. Then those people also ate again. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and led us in prayer, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not touch the water, nor did any of the people touch it.
