It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Among the people, the one who goes furthest in transgressing against Allah is the person who kills in a sacred sanctuary, or kills someone who is not a killer, or kills someone due to enmity from the days of ignorance."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The person whom Allah Almighty dislikes the most is the one who keeps moving his tongue like a cow chews cud."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that someone asked the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, about sacrificing the first offspring of a camel. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "It is permissible, but if you leave it until it becomes mature, two or three years old, and then you give it to someone for riding in the way of Allah, or give it to widows, then this is better than slaughtering it, sticking its meat to its hair, overturning your pot, and making your she-camel mad."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I met the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Are you the one about whom I have been informed that you say, 'I will stand (in prayer) every night and fast every day'?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I have said this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pray (at night) and also sleep; fast and also leave fasting, and fast three days in every month—you will have the reward of fasting for a lifetime." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have the strength to do more than this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fast one day and leave fasting for two days." I said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have the strength to do better than this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fast one day and leave fasting for one day; this is the most moderate way of fasting, and this is the way of fasting of Sayyiduna Dawood (peace be upon him)." I said, "I have the strength to do even better than this." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There is no fasting better than this."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that once the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, came to know that I said: "I will always fast during the day and stand in prayer at night." Once the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Are you the one who says that you will stand in prayer every night and fast every day?" I replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I am the one who said this." The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "You do not have the strength for this. Therefore, stand in prayer and also sleep, fast and also leave fasting, and fast only three days in every month, for the reward of one good deed is tenfold." Then the narrator mentioned the complete hadith.

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

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), there was a solar eclipse. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up for prayer, so we also stood with him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood for a very long time, then performed a long bowing (ruku‘), then when he raised his head from ruku‘, he remained standing for a long time. Then in prostration (sajdah), the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept blowing on the ground and kept saying:“O Lord, did You not promise me that You would not punish them while I am among them? O Lord, will You punish us even though we seek Your forgiveness?”After this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) completed his prayer and said:“Paradise was presented before me and it was brought so close to me that if I wished to take one of its branches, I could have taken it. Similarly, Hell was also presented before me and it was brought so close to me that I began to blow fearing that it might fall upon you. And I saw in Hell the man who had stolen the two camels of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I also saw a woman from the tribe of Himyar, who was dark-skinned and tall, being punished because of a cat which she had tied up; she neither fed it nor gave it water, nor did she let it go so that it could eat the insects of the earth by itself. Whenever that woman moved forward, the same cat would bite her in Hell, and if she moved back, it would bite her from behind. I also saw there a man from Banu Dada‘, and I saw the man with a stick, who was leaning on his stick in Hell. This person used to steal the belongings of the pilgrims with his stick, and when the pilgrims found out, he would say, ‘I did not steal it, this thing just got stuck to my stick.’ And the sun and the moon do not eclipse because of anyone’s death or life; rather, they are two signs among the signs of Allah. If either of them is eclipsed, then hasten towards the mosques.”

Abdullah ibn Ahmad said: My father said: Shu'bah agreed with Za'idah, and said "from the creeping things of the earth." Mu'awiyah narrated it to us.

Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that he married a woman from the Quraysh, but due to his strength and enthusiasm for prayer and fasting, he did not pay any attention to her. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came to know of this, he said: "Fast three days every month." I said, "I feel I have the strength for more than that." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) kept giving me concessions until finally he said: "Then fast one day and leave one day." And he said: "Recite the Qur'an once a month." I said, "I have the strength for more than that." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) then said fifteen days, then at my request, seven, until finally three days. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Every deed has a period of enthusiasm, and every enthusiasm has an end—either towards the Sunnah or towards innovation. Whoever's end is towards the Sunnah, he is guided, and whoever's end is towards something else, he is destroyed."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that a man came to the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, seeking permission to participate in jihad. The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked him, "Are your parents alive?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet said: "Go and strive in their service."
