It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to his uncle (Khawaja Abu Talib at the time of his death): "Acknowledge that there is no god but Allah; I will testify on your behalf with it on the Day of Resurrection." He said, "If it were not that the people of Quraysh would taunt me, saying that he recited this word out of fear, I would have cooled your eyes (i.e., pleased you)." Upon this, Allah revealed this verse: "You cannot guide whom you love."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) visited his mother's grave and wept, and those with him also began to weep. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I asked my Lord for permission to seek forgiveness for my mother, but I was not granted permission. I then asked for permission to visit her grave, and that was granted. Therefore, visit the graveyards, for they remind one of death.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that a woman came to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) who used to have epileptic fits. She said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray for me that He grants me healing." The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you wish, I will pray to Allah for your healing, and if you wish, endure this affliction with patience in this world and there will be no reckoning for you in the Hereafter." The woman said, "Then I will be patient so that there will be no reckoning for me."

It is narrated marfu'an from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the destruction of the Arabs has drawn near because of the evil that has come close. In this, successful will be the one who restrains his hand.

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 example of the five prayers is like that of a stream flowing at the door of one of you, in which he bathes five times a day. What do you think—will any dirt remain on his body?

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Faith and miserliness cannot coexist in the heart of a Muslim, just as the dust from striving in the way of Allah and the smoke of Hell cannot coexist in the nostrils of a Muslim.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that once the companions, may Allah be pleased with them, said, "O Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, sometimes such thoughts come into our hearts that we do not like to utter them, even if we were to be given the whole world in exchange." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Does this really happen?" The companions, may Allah be pleased with them, replied, "Yes." The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "This is pure faith."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once asked the companions (may Allah be pleased with them), "Whom do you consider a 'martyr' among you?" The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) replied, "The one who is killed while fighting in the way of Allah." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If it is so, then the number of martyrs in my Ummah will be very few. Being killed in Jihad in the way of Allah is martyrdom, dying due to a stomach illness is also martyrdom, drowning in a river is also martyrdom, dying after falling from a mount is also martyrdom, and dying due to pleurisy is also martyrdom."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Two hollow things, that is, the mouth and the private parts, will take a person to Hell the most." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by the two hollow things?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The mouth and the private parts. Do you know that the things that will take people to Paradise the most in abundance are piety and good character?"
