Ubaid bin Umair once asked Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), "I see you pushing through the crowd to touch the two corners, the Hajar Aswad and the Yemeni Corner. What is the reason for this?" Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) replied, "If I do so, it is because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that touching these two corners wipes away a person's sins. And I also heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that whoever completes seven circuits of Tawaf, counting them, (and then offers two units of prayer for Tawaf), for every step a good deed will be written, a sin will be erased, a rank will be elevated, and it is equal to freeing a slave."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon there will come rulers over you who will command you to do things which they themselves do not do. Whoever affirms their lies and helps them in their oppression, he has no connection with me and I have no connection with him, and he will not be able to come to me at the Pond of Kawthar."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever asks you in the name of Allah, give to him; whoever invites you, accept his invitation; whoever gives you a gift, return something in exchange for it, and if you do not find anything to give in return, then pray for him so much that you feel certain you have repaid him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: It is better for one of you to have his stomach filled with vomit than to have it filled with poetry.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Enter the lands of the punished nations weeping, for I fear that the same punishment that befell them may befall you as well."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a ring made of gold. He would turn its stone towards the palm of his hand. The people also had rings made. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw it away, and the people also removed and threw away their rings. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a ring made of silver, with which he would seal (letters), but he would not wear it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among the people, Usamah is the most beloved to me, except for Fatimah, but no one else."

Abdur Rahman bin Samurah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was walking with Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them), and on the way, they passed by a severed head that was hanging on a gallows. Upon seeing it, he said, "The one who killed him is wretched." I said to him, "O Abu Abdur Rahman! Are you saying this?" As soon as he heard this, he withdrew his hand from mine and said, "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'If any of my followers sets out to kill someone and kills him in such a manner (as the head of this murdered person is hanging), then the murdered person will go to Paradise and the killer to Hell.'"

Nafi’ (may Allah have mercy on him) says that when the people of Madinah gathered with Sayyiduna Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him) and broke their allegiance to Yazid bin Muawiyah, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) gathered all his sons and family members and said: We pledged allegiance to this person in the name of Allah and His Messenger, and I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that for every deceiver, a flag will be planted on the Day of Resurrection, and it will be said: This is the betrayal of so-and-so. And after shirk, the greatest betrayal is that a man pledges allegiance to someone in the name of Allah and His Messenger and then breaks it. Therefore, none of you should break allegiance to Yazid, nor look into the matter of the caliphate, otherwise there will be no relation between me and him.

Khalid al-Khadda’ says that once Abu al-Malih (may Allah have mercy on him) said to Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) that I and your father were present in the service of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), and he narrated to us this hadith: that he was present in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) presented him with a leather cushion filled with palm fibers, but I did not sit reclining on it, and that cushion remained lying between me and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
