It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I am the closest to Jesus (peace be upon him) in this world and the Hereafter. All the Prophets (peace be upon them) are paternal brothers; their mothers are different, but their religion is one.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The people of Yemen have come to you; these people are soft-hearted, and faith, wisdom, and jurisprudence are very excellent among the people of Yemen.

Hassan and Hashim narrated to us, they said: Shaiban narrated to us, from Asim, from Ziyad ibn Qays, from Abu Huraira, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: "Woe to the Arabs from an evil that has drawn near; knowledge will decrease, and al-harj will increase." He said: I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is al-harj?" He said: "Killing."

This is the last of the Musnad of Abu Huraira, may Allah the Exalted be pleased with him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that some companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were on a journey. During the journey, they passed by an Arab tribe. The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) requested hospitality from the people of the tribe, but they refused to offer hospitality. Coincidentally, one of their men lost his senses or was bitten by something poisonous. Those people came to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and said, "Is there anyone among you who knows how to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing)?" One of them replied, "Yes." He went to the man and recited Surah Al-Fatiha over him and performed ruqyah. The man became healthy. Those people presented them with a flock of sheep, but they refused to accept it. They then went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the whole incident, and said, "O Messenger of Allah! By the One Who sent you with the truth, I only recited Surah Al-Fatiha for ruqyah." Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) smiled and said, "How did you know that it is a ruqyah (incantation)?" Then he said, "Take the flock of sheep and include my share with yours."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to estimate the standing (qiyam) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the Zuhr and Asr prayers. Our estimation was that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would stand in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr for the duration it takes to recite thirty verses, "which is about the length of Surah As-Sajdah," and in the last two rak'ahs, he would stand for half of that. In the first two rak'ahs of Asr prayer, he would stand for half of that, and in the last two rak'ahs, he would stand for half of that as well.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, I will be the leader of all the children of Adam, and I am not saying this out of pride. I will be the first person whose earth (grave) will be opened on the Day of Resurrection, and this too is not out of pride. And I will be the first to intercede on the Day of Resurrection, and I am not saying this out of pride either.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that Hazrat Ma'iz bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and informed him that he had committed a sin. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), after turning him back several times, finally ordered him to be stoned. We took him and stoned him, then returned to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and informed him of this. When evening came, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up, praised and glorified Allah, and said, "What is the matter with the people?" (Imam Ahmad's son, Abdullah, says that after this, my father missed the last words of the hadith.)

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man from the Ansar was overcome by need. His family said to him, "Go and request help from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So he went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who at that time was delivering a sermon and was saying: "Whoever seeks chastity, Allah grants him chastity; whoever seeks sufficiency from Allah, Allah grants him sufficiency; and whoever asks us for something and we have it, we will give it to him." Hearing this, the man returned and did not ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for anything.
