Narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) offered the Fajr prayer and, upon returning, passed by the women present in the mosque, stopped there, and said: "O group of women, I have not seen any creature more deficient in intelligence and religion, yet more capable of seizing the hearts of wise men, than you. And I have seen that on the Day of Resurrection, the majority of the people of Hell will be from among you. Therefore, give charity as much as you can to seek nearness to Allah." Among those women was the wife of Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him). She went home and narrated the saying of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and took her jewelry to leave. Hazrat Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Where are you taking this?" She replied, "I wish to seek nearness to Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) through this, so that Allah does not make me among the people of Hell." He said, "Bring it to me and give it in charity to me and my child, for we are deserving of it." His wife said, "By Allah, this cannot be. I will take it to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) himself." So she went and sought permission to enter the house of Prophethood. People said, "O Messenger of Allah! Zainab seeks permission." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Which Zainab?" (as this was the name of several women). The people replied, "The wife of Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him)." He said, "Allow her to enter." So she entered and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), I heard a hadith from you. When I returned to my husband Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), I narrated that hadith to him and took my jewelry to come, so that I may seek nearness to Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), hoping that Allah will not count me among the people of Hell. Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me, 'Give it in charity to me and my child, for we are deserving of it.' I told him that I would first seek permission from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Give it to them in charity, for they are indeed deserving of it." Then she said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), please tell me, when you stood among us, I heard you say another thing: 'I have not seen any creature more capable of seizing the hearts of wise men, yet more deficient in intelligence and religion, than you.' O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), what is meant by deficiency in our religion and intelligence?" He said, "Do you not remember the deficiency in your religion? Those days that come upon you, and as long as Allah wills, you remain in that state, you cannot perform prayer or fast; this is the deficiency in religion. As for the deficiency in intelligence, it is that the testimony of a woman is half that of a man."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will take the earth in His grasp and will wrap up the heavens in His right hand, then He will say: I am the King; where are the kings of the earth?

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Boiling water will be poured over the heads of the people of Hell, which will penetrate through their skulls and reach their stomachs, and it will bring out all the intestines therein until they come out through their feet.

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 dies in such a state that he neither fought in jihad nor ever had the intention of jihad in his heart, he dies on one of the branches of hypocrisy.

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 keeps his horse ready in the way of Allah, believing in Allah and considering His promise to be true, then its eating to satisfaction, drinking to satisfaction, urinating, and dung will become good deeds in that person's scale on the Day of Judgment.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "On that Day, the earth will declare its news," and said, "Do you know what is meant by the news of the earth?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) submitted, "Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) know best." He said, "The news of the earth means that the earth will testify about every man and woman regarding all the deeds they did while living on its surface, and it will say, 'You did such-and-such deed on such-and-such day.' This is what is meant by the news of the earth."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Learn your lineage to the extent that you can maintain the ties of kinship, because maintaining the ties of kinship increases love among relatives, increases wealth, and wards off calamities.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A good word is also charity, and every step you take towards prayer is also charity.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This month has cast its shadow over you. By Allah, the Prophet swears that no month casts its shadow over the Muslims better than the month of Ramadan, and no month is harsher upon the hypocrites than Ramadan. Allah Almighty begins to write its reward and voluntary acts before its arrival, and He also begins to write the persistence of the hypocrites in their sins and their wretchedness beforehand. The reason for this is that Muslims prepare strength for worship in this month, while the hypocrites seek out people's heedlessness and faults. Thus, this month is a bounty for the Muslim, over which the sinful people are envious.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) on the occasion of Hajj or Umrah when, on the way, we saw a swarm of locusts. We started hitting them with our whips and sticks, and they began to fall one by one in front of us. We thought, "We are in the state of Ihram, what should we do with them?" Then we asked the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said, "There is no harm (in hunting from the sea)."
