It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) led one of the two afternoon prayers, either Zuhr or Asr, most probably, and after leading only two rak'ahs, he said salam and finished the prayer. He then came to the pillar in the mosque which was broad, and with his hand made a gesture as if he was angry. The hasty people began to leave the mosque and started saying that the number of rak'ahs in the prayer had been reduced. Among the people present at that time were Hazrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him), but they felt awe in speaking to the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about this matter. At this, Dhul-Yadain said: "O Messenger of Allah! Did you forget or has the number of rak'ahs in the prayer been reduced?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I have neither forgotten nor has the number of rak'ahs been reduced." Dhul-Yadain said: "You have only performed two rak'ahs." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked questioningly towards the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), as if to ask whether it was as Dhul-Yadain was saying. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) confirmed it. Upon this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood up and performed two more rak'ahs, then said salam, said "Allahu Akbar," and performed a prostration like that of prayer or even longer, then raised his head and said takbeer and sat down, then again said takbeer and performed a second prostration.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Name yourselves after me, but do not take my kunya (patronymic name) as your kunya."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) in a marfu' form that whoever (being deceived) buys such a she-camel or goat, then he has the choice of one of two things, whichever is better for him: either he keeps the animal with himself (and settles the matter), or he returns the animal to its owner.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs Hajj in such a way that he neither becomes indecent with his women nor commits any sinful act, he will return to his home as pure as the day his mother gave birth to him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has said: Grandeur is My upper garment and Majesty is My lower garment; whoever disputes with Me regarding either of them, I will cast him into Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The truest verse ever spoken by a poet is this: Remember, everything besides Allah is false (perishable), and Umayyah bin Abi al-Salt was close to accepting Islam.
