It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a child was born to an Ansari, and he named him Muhammad. We said to him, "We will not allow you this until we ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So we came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Name with my name, but do not use my kunyah (patronymic) as your kunyah, because I have been sent among you as one who distributes."

Asim bin Ubaidullah says that once I went to Syedna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him). When the time for prayer came, he wrapped himself in a single garment and performed the prayer, even though other clothes were lying nearby on the bed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that some people came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and pledged allegiance at his blessed hand. At that time, there was an epidemic in Madinah, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them from leaving Madinah Munawwarah without permission. However, they left Madinah without taking permission. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that Madinah Munawwarah is like a furnace which removes its impurities.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came and said that he had shaved his head before offering the sacrifice. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now offer the sacrifice, there is no harm. Then another came and said, O Messenger of Allah! I had my head shaved before performing the stoning (rami). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said: Now perform the stoning, there is no harm.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Marhab, the Jew, came out of his fortress, fully armed, and was reciting these lines of poetry: "All of Khaybar knows that I am Marhab, armed, brave, and experienced. Sometimes I fight with a spear and sometimes I strike with a sword. When lions advance like flames, it is as if my sanctuary is the true sanctuary, to which no one can come near." And he was shouting, "Is there anyone to face me?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Who will face him?" Sayyiduna Muhammad bin Maslamah stepped forward and said: "O Messenger of Allah! I will face him, and by Allah, I am his equal. He killed my brother yesterday." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go forward," and prayed, "O Allah, help him." When both came close to each other, a tree came between them, and one of them began to use it as a shield to avoid his opponent. Whenever he used it as a shield, the other would strike at him with his sword, until both came face to face and there was no barrier left between them. After that, Marhab attacked Muhammad bin Maslamah with his sword and struck him. He blocked it with his shield; the sword hit the shield and cut through it, but Muhammad bin Maslamah was saved. Then Muhammad bin Maslamah attacked him with his sword and did not stop until he killed him.

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, whether he is alive or dead, or he dies or it reaches his children.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the sun sets, do not let your animals and your children go out of the house until the darkness of the night has passed, because when the sun sets, the devils descend until the darkness of the night has passed.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed prayer wrapped in a single garment. Someone asked Abu Az-Zubair whether this referred to obligatory prayer. He replied that this includes both obligatory and non-obligatory prayers.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that we ate the meat of the sacrificial animal of Hajj with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) during his blessed era, and we also brought it along as provisions for the journey.
