It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“When a curse is sent upon someone, the curse heads towards him. If it finds a way to reach him, it falls upon him. Otherwise, it presents itself before Allah and says: ‘O Lord! I was directed towards such-and-such person, but I did not find a way to reach him. What should I do now?’ It is then told: ‘Go back to where you came from.’”

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O group of women! Give charity, even if it is from your jewelry, because you are the majority in Hell." A woman—who was not among the tall women—stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the reason for this? He said: "The reason is that you curse a lot and are very ungrateful and disobedient to your husbands."

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate anything with Allah, will enter Paradise." And I say that whoever dies in such a state that he associates anything with Allah, will enter Hell.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you are three people, then two of you should not whisper to each other excluding the third, because this will cause grief to the third."

This hadith is not present in the book.

Shaqiq says that one day we were waiting at the door of Abdullah for the arrival of Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). Meanwhile, Yazid bin Mu'awiyah Nakha'i came. When he was about to go inside, we said to him, "Please inform him about us." So he went inside and informed Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). He immediately came out and, standing among us, said, "I have been informed that you are waiting for me. The only reason I have not come to you is that I do not like to make you weary. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also leave some days empty in admonition and advice for the same reason, as he did not like us to become weary."

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I will wait for you at the Hawd (Pond) of Kawthar. At that time, there will be a dispute before me regarding some people and I will be overpowered. I will say: My Lord! (They are) my companions? It will be said: 'You do not know what innovations they introduced after you.'"

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) says that there are two statements: one I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the other I say from myself. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever dies in a state while associating partners with Allah, will enter Hell." And I say: Whoever dies in a state while not associating anyone with Allah, will enter Paradise.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No one is more possessive than Allah, and that is why He has forbidden indecent acts, both outward and inward. And no one loves to be praised more than Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that when any one of you performs ruku', he should spread his arms over his thighs and join his two palms together. It is as if I can still see the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) fingers spread apart. Saying this, he demonstrated by joining his two palms together in the position of ruku'. (This ruling has been abrogated.)
