It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me: "I have come to know that you fast all day and stand in prayer all night. Do not do so, for your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you, and your wife has a right over you. Fast only three days in every month; this will be equal to fasting all the time." I said, "I have strength for more than this." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Then adopt the way of Sayyiduna Dawud, peace be upon him: fast one day and leave one day." Later, Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "I used to do so. I wish I had accepted the concession of the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Fast three days in every month." I submitted, "I feel I have strength for more than that." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept granting me concessions until, in the end, he said: "Then fast one day and leave one day." And he said: "Recite the Qur'an once in a month." He submitted, "I have strength for more than that." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) kept granting me concessions until, in the end, he said: "Then complete it in three nights."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are four traits; whoever possesses them is a pure hypocrite, and whoever has any one of them has a characteristic of hypocrisy until he gives it up: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; when he makes a covenant, he betrays it; and when he quarrels, he abuses."

A noble man from Nakh'a says that once I entered the mosque of Al-Aqsa and offered two rak'ahs behind a pillar. During this, a man came and stood near me to pray. People turned their attention towards him. Later, it became known that he was Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). A messenger from Yazid came to him and said that the Commander of the Faithful is calling you. He replied: "This person prevents me from narrating hadiths to you just as his father used to prevent me, and I heard your Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) supplicating: O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that is not beneficial, from a supplication that is not accepted, from a heart that is devoid of humility and submission, and from a soul that is never satisfied. I seek refuge in You from these four things."

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 one who fasts continuously has not truly fasted."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "I have come to know that you fast all day and stand in prayer all night. Do not do so, for your body has a right over you, your eyes have a right over you, and your wife has a right over you. Fast only three days in every month; this will be equal to fasting all the time." I imposed hardship upon myself, so hardship was imposed upon me. I said, "I have strength for more than this." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then fast three days in every week." I imposed hardship upon myself, so hardship was imposed upon me. I said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have strength for more than this." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then adopt the way of Sayyiduna Dawud (peace be upon him): fast one day and leave fasting one day."

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 such a long time that we began to think that perhaps the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would not bow (ruku). Then he bowed, and while raising his head from ruku, it did not seem as if he would rise. Then when he raised his head from ruku and went into prostration (sajdah), it did not seem as if he would lift his head from prostration. And in the second rak'ah, he did the same, and the sun became bright.

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 pledge allegiance and said: "I have come to pledge allegiance to you for migration, and (I have made a great sacrifice that) I have left my parents weeping." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Go back and make them laugh just as you made them weep."

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: "Whenever any person among the people suffers any physical harm, Allah commands the guardian angels to continue recording all the good deeds that My servant used to do every day and night, as long as he remains in My protection."

Shahr bin Hawshab says that when news of the allegiance to Yazid bin Muawiyah reached us, I came to Syria. I found out about a place where Nauf used to stand and narrate (hadith). I went to him, and meanwhile, when a man arrived, there was a commotion among the people. He was wearing a cloak. When I looked, it was Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him). Upon seeing him, Nauf stopped narrating out of respect for him, and Sayyiduna Abdullah began to say: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon after this migration, there will be another migration in which people will gather in the place of migration of Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him). Only the worst people will remain on earth; the earth will throw them out, and Allah will not like them. The fire will gather them together with monkeys and pigs. Wherever they spend the night, the fire will also spend the night with them, and wherever they take a midday nap, it will also take a nap there. Whoever lags behind will be consumed by it.

And I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon, from the eastern side, some people will emerge from my Ummah who will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go below their throats. Whenever a generation of them appears, it will be cut off. This sentence was repeated ten times, until in their last group, the Dajjal will emerge.
