It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: There are forty good deeds, the highest of which is giving a goat as a gift. Whoever acts upon any one of these good deeds, hoping for its reward and believing in Allah’s promise, Allah will grant him entry into Paradise.

Abdullah bin Dailami, may Allah have mercy on him, who lived in Bayt al-Maqdis, says: Once I asked Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, "O Abdullah bin Amr, have you heard the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, say anything regarding the one who drinks alcohol?" He replied: "Yes! I heard the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, say: Whoever drinks a sip of alcohol, his prayer is not accepted for forty days."

And I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say that Allah Almighty created His creation in darkness, then on that day He cast His light upon them. Whoever received that light was guided, and whoever did not receive that light went astray. For this reason, I say that the pens have dried after writing according to Allah’s knowledge.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The world is a prison and famine for the believer. When he leaves the world, he will also be freed from the prison and famine."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "If a stone as small as this"—and he pointed towards his skull—"were to be thrown from the sky towards the earth, which is a distance of five hundred years, it would reach the earth before nightfall. And if it were thrown from the end of the chain, it would keep rolling for forty days and nights continuously, and only after that would it reach its origin."

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 a man came to the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, seeking permission to participate in jihad. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, asked: "Are your parents alive?" He replied, "Yes." The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Then go and strive in service to them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek permission to participate in jihad and said so. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Are your parents alive?" He replied, "Yes, my mother is alive." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go and treat her well." So he went away, passing through the riders.

Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Nauf gathered at a certain place. Nauf said: "We have been informed that Allah Almighty said to His angels: 'Call My servants.' The angels submitted: 'O Lord, how can this be when there are seven heavens and beyond them the Throne as a barrier between them?' Allah said: 'When they say La ilaha illallah Allah, their call will be accepted.' Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: One day, we performed the Maghrib prayer with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Some people, among whom I was also included, sat waiting for the next prayer. After a short while, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was seen coming towards us quickly. The scene is still preserved in my eyes that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had lifted his lower garment so that it would be easier to walk. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) reached us and said: 'Glad tidings to you! Your Lord has opened a door of the sky and is boasting about you before the angels, saying: My servants have performed one obligatory act and are waiting for the next one.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever kills even a sparrow unjustly, Allah Almighty will question him about it on the Day of Resurrection." Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is its right?" He said: "He should slaughter it, not seize it by the neck and break it."
