Sulaiman bin Yasar (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once the use of checks became common among traders. The traders asked Marwan for permission to buy and sell through them, and he granted them permission. When Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) found out, he went to him and said, "You have permitted usurious trade, whereas the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade the sale of grain before taking possession of it?" Sulaiman says that then I saw Marwan sent a group of guards who began to snatch checks from the hands of those who did not resist.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that I have not prayed behind anyone after the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whose prayer resembled the Prophet’s prayer more, except for 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 short. He would perform the ‘Asr prayer lightly, recite from the short Mufassal surahs in Maghrib, from the medium Mufassal surahs in ‘Isha, and from the long Mufassal surahs in the Fajr prayer.

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: When Allah created the creation, the womb (rahm) stood up and held onto the leg of the Throne of the Most Merciful and said, "This is the place of one who seeks refuge from severing ties." Allah said, "Are you not pleased that I will join with the one who joins you, and I will sever from the one who severs you?" If you wish, you may recite this verse for its confirmation: "Would you then, if you were given authority, spread corruption in the land and sever your ties of kinship? Those are the ones whom Allah has cursed, so He made them deaf and blinded their sight. Do they not then reflect on the Qur'an, or are there locks upon their hearts?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that no month casts a better shade over a Muslim than the month of Ramadan, and no month is harder upon the hypocrites than Ramadan. The reason for this is that Muslims gather strength for worship in this month, while the hypocrites seek out people's heedlessness and faults.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you is in prayer, Satan comes to him and entices him just as a person entices his animal. When he gains control over him, he releases wind between his buttocks so as to mislead him from the prayer. Therefore, if any one of you experiences such a condition, he should not leave the prayer unless he hears a sound or perceives a smell.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When any one of you is in prayer, Satan comes to him and flatters him as a person flatters his animal. When he gains control over him, he binds his jaw or puts a bridle in his mouth. Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) says: That is why you will see the first man swaying here and there and not remembering Allah, and you will see another man whose mouth is open and he is not remembering Allah.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stood to deliver a sermon before the people. In it, he (peace be upon him) declared faith in Allah and striving in the path of Allah (jihad fi sabilillah) to be among the most virtuous deeds in the sight of Allah. A man stood up and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), tell me, if I am martyred in the path of Allah, I remain steadfast in my religion, I participate in jihad with the intention of reward, I keep advancing and do not turn my back, will Allah forgive my sins?" The Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) replied, "Yes." He asked the same question three times, and the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) gave the same answer each time. The last time, the Noble Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "Except for debt, for this has just now been revealed to me in my ear by Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A righteous slave receives a double reward. By Him in Whose hand is the life of Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), if it were not for striving in the way of Allah, Hajj to the House of Allah, and service to my mother, I would have preferred to die in the state of slavery.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once supplicated, saying: O Allah! Bless the people of Madinah in their Madinah, and grant blessing in their Sa’ and Mudd. O Allah! Ibrahim was Your servant and friend, and I am Your servant and Messenger. Ibrahim supplicated to You for the people of Makkah; I am supplicating to You for the people of Madinah with the same supplication as Ibrahim made for the people of Makkah, and even more than that. Then he said: Madinah is surrounded by the nets of angels; at every entrance there are two angels appointed for its protection. Neither plague nor Dajjal can enter it. Whoever intends evil against it, Allah will melt him as salt melts in water.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from placing hands on the waist during prayer.
