Abu Sa'id, may Allah have mercy on him, who was the freed slave of Mahri, says: When my brother passed away, I went to Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, and said, "O Abu Sa'id! My brother has passed away, and he has left behind children. I also have my own children, and we do not have any money. I am thinking of taking my children and my brother's children and moving to another city so that our livelihood may become stable." He replied, "I am sorry for your thinking. Do not leave from here, because I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever is patient with the hardships and difficulties of Madinah, I will intercede for him on the Day of Resurrection."

Bishr bin Harb says that once Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "I have come to know that you pledged allegiance to two leaders before there was consensus on one leader?" He replied, "Yes! I pledged allegiance to Ibn Zubair (may Allah be pleased with him), then the people of Syria came and dragged me to the army of Ibn Dillah, so I was compelled to pledge allegiance to him as well." Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "This is exactly what I fear (he said it twice)." Then Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O Abdur Rahman! Did you not hear the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever has the ability that no sleep passes, no morning or evening comes upon him except that he has a ruler over him, then he should do so?" He replied, "Yes! I have heard it, but I dislike pledging allegiance to two leaders before there is consensus on one leader among the people."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wore a new garment, he would first mention its name, for example, shirt or turban, then he would recite this supplication: O Allah! All praise is due to You, for You have clothed me with this garment. I ask You for its goodness and the goodness of what it was made for, and I seek refuge with You from its evil and the evil of what it was made for.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Once Hazrat Jibreel (peace be upon him) led me in prayer. So he led the Zuhr prayer at the time when the sun had declined, the Asr prayer at the time when the shadow was equal to the object, the Maghrib prayer at sunset, the Isha prayer after the disappearance of twilight, and the Fajr prayer after the dawn had appeared. Then the next day he came again and led the Zuhr prayer when the shadow of everything had become equal to it, the Asr prayer when the shadow was twice its length, the Maghrib prayer at sunset, the Isha prayer in the first third of the night, and the Fajr prayer at the time when the sun was about to rise, and he said: The time for prayer is between these two times.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the day of Friday, it is obligatory upon every adult person to perform ghusl, use miswak, and apply perfume according to his means, even if it is from his own house.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade fasting continuously without breaking the fast (wisal). The companions said, "O Messenger of Allah! You fast continuously like this?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "In this matter, I am not like you. I spend the night in such a state that my Lord Himself feeds and gives me drink."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to take turns staying with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at night, so that if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) needed anything or had any work at night, he could send us. Sometimes, a considerable number of those seeking this reward and those whose turn it was would gather together, and in such a situation, we would talk among ourselves. Once, during the night, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said, "What are these whispers? Did I not forbid you from whispering?" We said, "O Messenger of Allah! We repent. Actually, we were mentioning Dajjal and we are afraid of him." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Shall I not tell you something which, in my view, is more dangerous for you than Dajjal?" We said, "Why not?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "It is hidden shirk: that a person stands up for an action because of another person."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There is no zakat on less than five camels, no zakat on less than five uqiyah of silver, and no zakat on less than five wasq of wheat.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon the best wealth of a Muslim will be "goats," which he will take to the tops of mountains and places where rain falls, fleeing with his religion from tribulations.

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) said: None of you should consider himself so insignificant that he withholds saying a word for the sake of Allah’s pleasure when he has the right to say it, but does not say it. For Allah will ask him: What prevented you from saying that word? The servant will say: My Lord! I was afraid of the people. Allah will say: I was more deserving that you should fear Me.
