It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Horses are of three kinds: some horses belong to the Most Merciful, some to man, and some to Satan. The horse of the Most Merciful is the one that is tied in the way of Allah; its fodder, its dung, its urine, and other things (all are for Allah and a person is rewarded for them). The horse of Satan is the one on which gambling is done or it is kept as a pledge. And the horse of man is the one which a person ties for seeking livelihood to fill his belly, and it saves him from poverty and hunger."

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The mill of Islam will keep turning for thirty-five (35), thirty-six (36), or thirty-seven (37) years. After that, if the Muslims are destroyed, they will follow the path of those who were destroyed, and if they remain, their religion will last for seventy years." Sayyiduna 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) asked whether this pertains to the days that have passed or to the future. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "To the future."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his companions (may Allah be pleased with them): "No person should come to me with news about any of my companions, because I wish that when I come to you, my heart is completely clean towards each one of you." Once, some wealth came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from somewhere, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed it. I passed by two men, and one of them said to the other, "By Allah! This distribution is such that neither Allah's pleasure nor the home of the Hereafter is intended by it." I listened carefully to what they said and came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! You have said, 'No person should come to me with news about any of my companions.' Just now, I passed by such and such men, and they were saying this." Upon this, the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) turned red, then he said: "May Allah's mercy descend upon Musa; he was troubled even more than this, but he remained patient."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the 'Isha prayer considerably. Then, when he came out towards the mosque, he found the people waiting for the prayer. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "At this moment, there is no one on the face of the earth remembering Allah from any religion except you." And on this occasion, these verses were revealed: «﴿لَيْسُوا سَوَاءً مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ . . . . . وَمَا يَفْعَلُوا مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ يُكْفَرُوهُ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالْمُتَّقِينَ﴾ [آل عمران: 113-115] » "They are not all alike among the People of the Book... And whatever good you do, it will not be denied you, and Allah knows well the pious."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that Ibn Nawahah and Ibn Athal came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) as messengers from Musaylimah the Liar. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked both of them: "Do you both testify that I am the Messenger of Allah?" They replied, "We testify that Musaylimah is the Messenger of Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If I were to kill messengers, I would have beheaded both of you." From that time, it became customary that messengers are not killed.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: In the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), we used to consider miracles as blessings, whereas you regard them with fear.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped at a place and went to relieve himself. When he returned, he saw that someone had set fire to an anthill on the ground or on a tree. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Who has done this?" A man replied, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I did it." He said, "Extinguish this fire, extinguish this fire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once a man came and asked in the presence of the Messenger of Allah, "When will Laylat al-Qadr be?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Which of you remembers that night which was red and white?" I said, "May my parents be sacrificed for you, I remember. At that time, I had some dates in my hand and I was secretly eating sahur with them at the back of my saddle, and the moon was out at that time."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed away, the Ansar said: "One leader will be from among us and one leader will be from among you." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to them and said: "O group of Ansar! Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), during his blessed life, himself commanded Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) to lead the people in prayer? Who among you can willingly put himself ahead of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)?" Upon this, the Ansar said: "We seek refuge with Allah from putting ourselves ahead of Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him)."
