I will continue to forgive them as long as they keep seeking forgiveness from Me."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were walking with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when suddenly a poet came reciting poetry.

Abu Sa’ib (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: Once I came to Abu Sa’id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him). I had just sat down with him when I sensed some movement under the bed. I looked and saw a snake there. I immediately stood up. Abu Sa’id (may Allah be pleased with him) asked,“What happened?”I said,“There is a snake here.”He asked,“What do you intend to do now?”I said,“I will kill it.”He pointed towards a room in his house—which was right in front of his own room—and said:“A cousin of mine used to live here. On the day of the Battle of the Trench, he sought permission from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to return to his family, as he had recently gotten married. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) granted him permission and instructed him to take his weapon with him. When he reached his house, he saw his wife standing at the door. He pointed his spear towards his wife, and she said, ‘Do not be hasty in killing me. First see what forced me to come out of the house.’ He entered the house and saw a strange and unusual snake there. He struck it with his spear and dragged it outside with the spear. I do not know which of the two died first—the young man or the snake. His people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and requested, ‘Pray to Allah to return our companion to us.’ The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said twice, ‘Seek forgiveness for your companion.’ Then he said, ‘A group of jinn have accepted Islam, so if any of you sees a snake, he should warn it three times. If he still deems it appropriate to kill it, then after the third warning, he may kill it.’”

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the deceased is placed on the bier and people lift it onto their shoulders, if he was righteous, he says, "Take me quickly," and if he was not righteous, he says, "Alas! Where are you taking me?" Everything except humans hears this voice, and if humans were to hear it, they would fall unconscious.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that a monitor lizard was brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had a stick in his blessed hand; he turned it over with that stick and said: "A tribe from the Children of Israel was transformed; if any of them remained, it would be this."

The best person is the one who strives in the way of Allah with his horse, his camel, or on his feet until death. And the worst person is the wicked one who is bold in committing sins, recites the Noble Qur'an, but does not accept any effect from it."

He was lying down with one leg placed over the other when one of his brothers came and struck the same leg in which he was feeling pain. This increased his pain, and he said, "Do you not know that I am having pain in my foot?" He replied, "Why not." Hazrat Abu Saeed (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "Then why did you do this?" He said, "Have you not heard that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has forbidden lying in this manner?"
