It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that I was present with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at a funeral. There, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O people! This Ummah will also be tested in their graves. So, when a person is buried and his companions leave, an angel comes to him—who has a mace in his hand—makes him sit up and asks him about the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "What do you say about this man?" If he is a believer, he says: "I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger." Upon hearing this, the angel says: "You have spoken the truth." Then a door to Hell is opened and shown to him, and it is said: "If you had disbelieved in your Lord, this would have been your abode. But since you believed, your abode is elsewhere." Then a door to Paradise is opened for him. When he tries to get up and enter Paradise, the angel tells him to remain at ease, and his grave is made spacious for him.

And if he is a disbeliever or a hypocrite, when the angel asks him: "What do you say about this man?" he replies: "I do not know anything; I only heard people saying something." The angel says to him: "You neither understood nor recited nor were guided." Then a door to Paradise is opened and shown to him, and the angel says: "If you had believed in your Lord, this would have been your abode. But since you disbelieved, Allah has changed your abode from here," and a door to Hell is opened for him. Then the angel strikes him with his mace so forcefully that all of Allah's creation, except jinn and humans, hear its sound. Someone asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Will not anyone be terrified when an angel stands before him with a mace in his hand?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah keeps the believers firm on the word of Tawheed."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Witr should be offered at night only.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked Ibn Sayyad about the soil of Paradise. He replied that it is extremely white and of pure musk. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) affirmed this.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The space between my house and my pulpit is one of the gardens of Paradise, and my pulpit will be placed over my cistern (Hawd).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! I have heard so-and-so two men being highly praised and it was mentioned that you gave them two dinars each." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "But by Allah! That man is not like that. I have given him from ten up to a hundred dinars. What does he say? Remember! Whoever among you leaves my presence after fulfilling his request is leaving with fire under his arm." Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Then why do you give them?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "What can I do? They do not accept anything else, and Allah does not like miserliness for me."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient, and whoever seeks chastity, Allah will grant him chastity.

Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) says that gold for gold and silver for silver should be sold equal for equal; do not make any increase or decrease in them, and do not sell any absent (commodity) for a present one among them, because I fear that you may fall into usury. The narrator of the hadith, Nafi', says that a man narrated this same hadith to Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) on the authority of Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). Before he could finish his statement, Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) himself arrived, and I was present there. Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him, "He has narrated a hadith to me, and according to him, you narrated this hadith to him from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Did you really hear this hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "I saw with my own eyes and heard with my own ears the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: Gold for gold and silver for silver should be sold equal for equal; do not make any increase or decrease in them, and do not sell any absent (commodity) for a present one among them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whatever worry, hardship, grief, illness, or sorrow, even those thoughts "which trouble him," reach a Muslim, Allah expiates his sins through them.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a piece of gold from Yemen, wrapped in a tanned hide "whose clay had not been spoiled," to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) distributed it among Zaid al-Khair, Aqra’ bin Habis, Uyaina bin Hisn, and Alqama bin Ulatha or Amir bin Tufail—four men. Some of the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and the Ansar felt uneasy about this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to them, "Do you not consider me trustworthy? I am the trustee of the One Who is in the heavens. News from the heavens comes to me morning and evening." Meanwhile, a man with deep-set eyes, red cheeks, a broad forehead, a thick beard, his lower garment raised high, and his head shaved, came and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Fear Allah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked up at him and said, "Wretched one! Am I not the most deserving among the people of the earth to fear Allah?" Then that man turned his back and walked away. Hazrat Khalid bin Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Allow me to strike his neck?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Perhaps he prays." He replied, "Many who pray say with their tongues what is not in their hearts." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I have not been commanded to pierce people's hearts or to split open their bellies." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) looked at him as he was turning away and said, "Remember! From the progeny of this man will come a people who will recite the Qur'an, but it will not go beyond their throats, and they will go out of the religion as an arrow passes through its prey."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) and Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has said, "Fasting is especially for Me and I Myself will give its reward. The fasting person experiences two moments of joy: when he breaks his fast, he is happy, and when he meets Allah and Allah grants him his reward, then he will be happy." By the One in Whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the breath of the fasting person is more pleasant to Allah than the fragrance of musk.
