Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I have recited seventy surahs after hearing them from the blessed mouth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and Sayyiduna Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) was among the scribes of revelation who had sheep.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I was present with Sayyiduna Miqdad bin Aswad (may Allah be pleased with him) — and being his companion was more beloved to me than anything else. He went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and, after cursing the polytheists, said: O Messenger of Allah! By Allah! We will not say as the Children of Israel said to Musa (peace be upon him): "You and your Lord go and fight, we are sitting here." Rather, we will fight on your right, your left, in front of you, and behind you. I saw that the face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was shining with happiness.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would turn to the right and to the left in such a manner while saying salam that the whiteness of his blessed cheeks would become visible.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Umm Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) was making this supplication: "O Allah! Grant me benefit from my noble husband, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), my father Abu Sufyan, and my brother Mu'awiyah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard her supplication and said: "You have asked Allah for a fixed term, a few numbered days, and apportioned sustenance. None of these things can reach you before their appointed time, nor can they be delayed beyond their fixed time. If you had supplicated to Allah to protect you from the punishment of Hell and the punishment of the grave, that would have been better and more virtuous." The narrator says that once it was mentioned before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that monkeys are the transformed form of humans. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah has never left any progeny of the people whose forms He transformed; whereas monkeys and pigs have existed from before."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once some people came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said, "One of our companions is suffering from an illness. Can we treat him by cauterization?" The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained silent and did not answer. They asked again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) again remained silent. After a while, he said, "Cauterize him and apply heated stones."

I'm sorry, but I need the Arabic hadith text from PAGE 281 in order to provide a translation. Please provide the text you would like translated.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Whatever things I have forgotten, I have forgotten, but I have not forgotten this: that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), at the end of the prayer, would turn to the right and to the left saying "As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah" until the whiteness of his cheeks would be visible.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is not permissible for anyone to say that I am better than Prophet Yunus (peace be upon him)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah knows that whatever He has declared unlawful, there will be those among you who will look at it with curiosity. Beware! I am holding you back by your waist to save you from falling into the fire of Hell, and you are falling into it just as moths or flies fall into it."

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