It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was present in the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was supplicating or praising for the tribe of Banu Nakha' to such an extent that I began to wish that I too was from among them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) eating meat, then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to lead the prayer without touching water with his hand.

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) used to seek refuge with Allah from the squeezing of Satan, his spitting, and his blowing. The narrator says that by "squeezing" is meant death, by "spitting" is meant poetry, and by "blowing" is meant arrogance.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that on the day of the Battle of the Trench, the polytheists did not give the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) the opportunity to perform the Asr prayer until the sun had set. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "May Allah fill their houses and graves with fire, for they did not let us perform the Asr prayer until the sun had set."

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: "In the last era, a people will emerge who will be foolish and young in age. They will speak the best words among mankind (the words of the Prophet, peace be upon him) and will recite the Noble Qur'an with their tongues, but it will not go beyond their throats. They will go out of Islam just as an arrow passes through its prey. Whoever finds them should kill them, for killing them brings a great reward from Allah for the killer."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the first seven people to openly declare their Islam were: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Ammar (may Allah be pleased with him) and his mother Sayyidah Sumayyah (may Allah be pleased with her), Sayyiduna Suhaib, Sayyiduna Bilal, and Sayyiduna Miqdad (may Allah be pleased with them). Among them, Allah protected the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) through his uncle Abu Talib, and Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) through his tribe, and the rest were seized by the polytheists. They would make them wear iron armor and leave them to burn in the sun. Among them, except for Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him), there was no one who did not comply with their wishes, for Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) had annihilated himself in the matter of Allah, and he was humiliated by his people. The Quraysh would hand him over to the children, and they would drag him through the streets of Makkah, but still Sayyiduna Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) would say, "Ahad, Ahad" (One, One).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had said to me: "I give you permission on my behalf to lift the curtain of my house and come inside, and to listen to my confidential matters, until I myself forbid you."

It is narrated from Abdur Rahman bin Abdullah that once the Prophet (peace be upon him) camped at a certain place. During this time, a man went towards a bush, where he saw a "Laal" (the nest of a bird). He took its eggs. Meanwhile, the bird came and began to circle and cry over the heads of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and the noble companions (may Allah be pleased with them all). The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Who among you has troubled it?" The man said, "I have taken its eggs." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Return them."
