Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will wait for you at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar. At that time, there will be a dispute before me regarding some people and I will be overpowered. I will say: 'O Lord! My companions?' It will be said: 'You do not know what innovations they introduced after you.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would both fast and break his fast while traveling, and during travel he (peace and blessings be upon him) would perform the obligatory prayers as two rak'ahs and would not add to them.

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: "On the Day of Resurrection, the severest punishment will be for the person who was killed by a prophet, or who killed a prophet, or who was a leader of misguidance, or who mutilated corpses."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is faced with a need and begins to mention it before people, he deserves that his matter not be made easy. And whoever presents it before Allah, Allah will grant him provision immediately or a delayed death."

Tariq bin Shihab (may Allah have mercy on him) says: Once we were sitting with Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), when a man came and said that the prayer had started in the mosque. We were going with Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) to join the rows. When the people went into ruku‘, Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) also went into ruku‘. Seeing him, we also performed ruku‘, even though we were still walking. Meanwhile, a man passed by from the front and said: "As-salamu ‘alayk, O Abu ‘Abd al-Rahman!" In the state of ruku‘, he replied: "Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth." After finishing the prayer, he went to his house, and we sat together discussing among ourselves: "Did you hear what Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied to him? Allah has spoken the truth and His Messenger has conveyed the message. Who among you will ask him about this?" Tariq said: "I will ask him." So when he came out, they asked him: "When that person greeted you, why did you say that Allah and His Messenger have spoken the truth?" He replied: "I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Among the signs of the Hour is that greeting (salam) will be given only to those who are known, trade will become widespread, to the extent that a woman will help her husband in business, ties of kinship will be severed, false testimony will be given, true testimony will be concealed, and the pen will become widespread.'"

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I have observed thirty fasts of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more frequently than I have observed twenty-nine (29) fasts.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that after prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would usually return to his chamber from the left side.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say that I prefer to swear nine times that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was martyred, rather than swear once that he was not martyred, and the reason for this is that Allah made him His Prophet and also declared him a martyr.

Abdur Rahman bin Yazid says that Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) was stoning the Jamrah Aqabah from the bottom of the valley. I said to him, "Are you stoning from here?" He replied, "By Him besides whom there is no deity, this is the very place from where He stoned, upon whom Surah Al-Baqarah was revealed."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was clinging to the covering of the Ka'bah when three men came; one of them was a Thaqafi and two were Qurayshi who were his sons-in-law. They had a lot of fat on their bellies but very little understanding in their hearts. They began to speak in whispers, which I could not hear. Then one of them said: What do you think, does Allah hear our conversations? The second said: I think that when we speak loudly, He hears them, but when we do not raise our voices, He does not hear them. The third said: If He can hear something, then He can hear everything. I mentioned this to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so Allah revealed this verse: «﴿وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ . . . . . وَذَلِكُمْ ظَنُّكُمُ الَّذِي ظَنَنْتُمْ بِرَبِّكُمْ أَرْدَاكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُمْ مِنَ الْخَاسِرِينَ﴾» [فصلت:22-23] "And you conceal things so that your ears, eyes, and skins may not bear witness against you... This is your lowly assumption about your Lord, and you have become among the losers."
