Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent us in a detachment of thirty horsemen. During the journey, we 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 host us. Coincidentally, their chief was bitten by something poisonous. The people came to the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and asked, "Does anyone among you know how to perform ruqyah (spiritual healing)?" I said, "Yes," but I set the condition that I would not perform the ruqyah until you give us something. They said, "We will give you thirty sheep." So I recited Surah Al-Fatiha over him seven times and performed the ruqyah; he became healthy. When we took possession of the sheep, a thought came to our hearts, and we refrained from using them. We went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and mentioned the entire incident. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "How did you know that it is a ruqyah (incantation)?" Then he said, "Take that flock of sheep and include my share with yours."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) prayed on a mat.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also offered prayer by placing both ends of a single cloth over both his shoulders.

It is narrated from Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Marwan brought out the pulpit on the day of Eid, which was not usually brought out, and he began to deliver the sermon before the prayer, which had never been done before. Seeing this, a man stood up and said, "Marwan! You have opposed the Sunnah. You brought out the pulpit on the day of Eid, which was not brought out before, and you delivered the sermon before the prayer, which had never been done before." In that gathering, Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) was also present. He asked, "Who is this man?" People informed him that he is so-and-so, son of so-and-so. He said, "This person has fulfilled his responsibility. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he is not able to do so, then with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart—and that is the weakest level of faith.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) described the connection of «وهم فى غفلة» with the world. (That those people remained heedless in the world).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Whoever comes to his bed and says three times, "Astaghfirullaha alladhi la ilaha illa huwa al-hayyul-qayyum wa atubu ilayh," all his sins will be forgiven, even if they are as much as the foam of the sea, the particles of sand, and the leaves of the trees.

Abu Nadrah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that I asked Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) whether he had heard anything from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about selling gold for gold and silver for silver. He replied, "I will tell you what I heard from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him): Once, a man who dealt in dates brought some excellent dates to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). The name of the Prophet's dates was 'Lawn.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked him, 'Where did you get these from?' He said, 'We exchanged two sa' of our dates for one sa' of these excellent dates.' The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'You have engaged in a usurious transaction.' Then Hazrat Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) said, 'Would the aspect of usury be greater in the case of dates or in the case of gold and silver?'"

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed i'tikaf during the middle ten days of Ramadan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was searching for Laylat al-Qadr, and until that time it had not been made clear to him. When that ten days ended, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his tent to be removed. Then it was informed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that it would be in the last ten days, so by his order, his tent was set up again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) also performed i'tikaf in the last ten days. Then he came out to the people and said: O people! I was informed about Laylat al-Qadr, and I came out to tell you, but two men came arguing, and Satan was with them, so its exact determination was made to be forgotten by me. Now you should seek it in the ninth, seventh, and fifth (nights). I said: O Abu Saeed! You know counting better than us. He said: I am more entitled to it than you. I asked about the meaning of the seventh, ninth, and fifth, so he said: the twenty-first and the night next to it is the ninth, the twenty-third and the night next to it is the seventh, and the twenty-fifth and the night next to it is the fifth.

Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Those inhabitants of Hell who will remain in it forever, neither will death come to them nor will they be granted life. However, those people upon whom Allah intends to show mercy, He will cause them to die in Hell. Then, when they are burnt and become like coal, the intercessors will intercede for them, and every person will take out his own friends. These people will bathe in a special river, "whose name will be the River of Life, or Hayawan, or Hayat, or the River of Paradise," and they will grow forth just as a seed grows in the flow of a flood. Upon this, a man said, it seems as if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has also lived in the jungle (for he knows its conditions so well).
