It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man who had drunk alcohol was brought to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Beat him." So some of us beat him with our hands, some with shoes, and some with a piece of cloth. When he went back, someone said to him, "May Allah disgrace you." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Do not say this. Do not help Satan against him. Rather, say: May Allah have mercy on you."

Qais (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) was our guest in Kufa. He had some relations of kinship with our masters. We went to him to greet him, so my father said to him, "O Abu Hurairah, these are your kinsmen who have come to serve you so that they may greet you and you may narrate to them a hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) welcomed us and said, "I remained in the company of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for three years. Among the group of companions, during those three years, there was no one more devoted to memorizing hadith than me. I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'By Allah, if any one of you were to take a rope, gather firewood, carry it on his back, and earn his livelihood from it, eating from it himself and giving charity as well, this is far better than going to a man whom Allah has blessed with wealth and asking him for something—whether he gives or withholds.' Then, gesturing with his hand, he said: 'Near the Day of Judgment, you will fight against a people whose faces will be like flat shields and whose shoes will be made of hair.'"

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 says, "I asked My servant for a loan, but he did not give it, and My servant unknowingly speaks ill of Me and says, 'Alas, the times! Alas, the times!' whereas I am the Creator of time as well."

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 Noble Qur'an was revealed upon seven letters. Disputing about the Qur'an is disbelief. He stated this sentence three times. Therefore, act upon what you understand, and what you do not understand, refer it to its scholar (ask him about it).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever fasts for one day for the sake of Allah's pleasure, Allah will keep him seventy years' distance away from Hell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that after the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he did not perform any prayer behind anyone which resembled the prayer of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) more, except behind such-and-such person. The narrator says that in the Zuhr prayer, he would make the first two rak'ahs relatively long and the last two rak'ahs shorter. He would perform the Asr prayer lightly. In Maghrib, he would recite a surah from the short Mufassal surahs; in Isha, from the medium Mufassal surahs; and in the Fajr prayer, he would recite from the long Mufassal surahs.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that he presented himself before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have some relatives with whom I maintain ties of kinship, but they sever relations with me. I treat them well, but they treat me badly. I am patient with them, but they behave ignorantly towards me." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If the reality is as you have described, then it is as if you are feeding them hot ashes, and as long as you remain steadfast in your conduct, there will always be a helper from Allah with you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to the graveyard. Upon reaching there, he greeted the inhabitants of the graves and said, "Peace be upon you, O dwellers of the abode of the believers! InshaAllah, we too shall join you." Then he said, "I wish that we could see our brothers." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah, are we not your brothers?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You are my companions; my brothers are those who have not yet come, and I will be waiting for them at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), how will you recognize those of your followers who have not yet come?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if a man has a horse with a white, radiant forehead among black horses, will he not recognize his horse?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "Why not!" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then those people will also come on the Day of Resurrection with radiant, white foreheads due to the effects of ablution, and I will be waiting for them at the Hawd of Kawthar." Then he said, "Remember, some people among you will be driven away from my Hawd just as a lost camel is chased away. I will call out to them, 'Come here!' But it will be said, 'They changed the religion after you.' So I will say, 'Away with them, away with them!'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said two or three times: A believer is possessive (protective of honor), and Allah is even more possessive than 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: Shall I not tell you of something by which Allah raises ranks and erases sins? Taking many steps towards the mosques, waiting for one prayer after another, and performing ablution thoroughly even when it is disliked (especially in the cold season).
