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 man set out to visit his religious brother who lived in another village. Allah appointed an angel on his way. When he passed by the angel, the angel asked him, "Where are you going?" He replied, "I am going to meet such-and-such a man." The angel asked, "Is there any kinship between you two?" He said, "No." The angel asked, "Has he done any favor to you for which you are going to him?" He said, "No." The angel asked, "Then why are you going to him?" He said, "I love him for the sake of Allah's pleasure." The angel said, "I have come to you as a messenger from Allah that Allah loves you because of your love for him."

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) 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 of Allah 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 of Allah be upon him), how will you recognize those of your followers who have not yet come?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah 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 of Allah 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 driven 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!'"

Muhammad bin Amr, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once Salamah bin Azraq was sitting with Hazrat Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, in the market when a funeral passed by, behind which the sound of weeping was coming. Hazrat Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, considered it blameworthy and scolded them. Salamah bin Azraq said, "Do not say so; I bear witness regarding Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that once a woman from the family of Marwan died, and the women gathered and began to weep over her. Marwan said, 'Abdul Malik, go and forbid these women from weeping.' Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, was present there. I myself heard him say, 'Abu Abdul Malik, leave it. Once a funeral passed in front of the Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, over which there was weeping. I was present with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, at that time, and Hazrat Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, was also there. He scolded the women who were weeping with the funeral, so the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "O Ibn Khattab, leave it, for the eye sheds tears and the heart grieves, and the wound is still fresh."' They asked, 'Did you yourself hear this narration from Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him?' He replied, 'Yes.' Upon this, they said, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If a Muslim servant passes away and three close neighbors testify to his goodness, Allah says: I have accepted the testimony of My servants according to their knowledge, and according to My knowledge, what I knew I have concealed and forgiven 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: Among the people, the most dishonest are craftsmen (or laborers).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Wine is made from these two trees: one is the date-palm and the other is the grapevine.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from Banu Fazarah came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! My wife has given birth to a child of dark complexion." In fact, he wanted to present a request before the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not to establish the lineage of the child himself. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Do you have camels?" He said, "Yes!" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "What is their color?" He said, "Red." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked, "Is there any camel among them of grayish color?" He said, "Yes, there is a grayish colored camel among them." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "How did the grayish colored camel come among the red camels?" He said, "Perhaps some vein has drawn this color." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then regarding this child, also understand that perhaps some vein has drawn this color."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) was going for Hajj, and on the way to Makkah Mukarramah, a strong wind overtook the people. The people became worried because of it. Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions, "Who among you will narrate to us a hadith regarding the wind?" No one gave him any answer. I found out that Hazrat Umar Farooq (may Allah be pleased with him) had asked the people about a hadith of this nature, so I hastened my mount until I reached him and said, "O Commander of the Faithful! I have learned that you have asked about a hadith regarding the wind. I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The wind, that is, the strong wind, is a mercy from Allah. Sometimes it brings mercy and sometimes it brings hardship. When you see it, do not speak ill of it, but rather ask Allah for its good and seek refuge with Allah from its evil.'"

Yazid bin Asam (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I was in Madinah Munawwarah with Marwan bin Hakam and Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him). A funeral passed by both of them. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up, but Marwan did not stand. Upon this, Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I saw the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when a funeral passed by him, he stood up." Hearing this, Marwan also stood up.
