It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a cave on a mountain. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was standing and offering prayer while the people were sleeping, when suddenly a snake passed near the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We woke up, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The One who kept you safe from it is the same One who kept it safe from you." And Surah Mursalat was revealed to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), which I memorized as soon as it came out from the blessed mouth of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), while that Surah was still fresh upon his blessed lips.

Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that on the occasion of the Battle of Hunayn, I was with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). In the beginning, people started turning their backs and fleeing, and only a few men from the Muhajirun and Ansar remained steadfast with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). We retreated about eighty steps, but we did not turn our backs. These were the very people upon whom Allah sent down tranquility. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his mule and advancing forward. When the mule quickened its pace, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) leaned toward the ground. I said, "Raise your head, may Allah grant you elevation." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Hand me a handful of dust." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw that dust at their faces, and the eyes of the polytheists were filled with dust. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Where are the Muhajirun and Ansar?" I said, "Here they are." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Call them." I called out, and they came, holding swords shining like stars in their hands, and the polytheists turned their backs and fled.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas’ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“There will be a people in Hell who will remain in Hell as long as Allah wills, then Allah will have mercy on them and He will take them out of Hell. They will be in the nearest part of Paradise, then they will bathe in a river called ‘Hayawan’. The people of Paradise will call them ‘Jahannamis’ (people of Hell). If any one of them wishes to invite all the people of the world, he will be able to arrange beds for them, arrange food and drink for them, and provide them with quilts as well.”The narrator probably also said:“If he wishes to marry all of them, he will be able to do so, and he will not feel any deficiency in anything.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever attributes a false statement to me should make his abode in the Hellfire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was shown different communities, and the arrival of his own community was delayed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then my community was shown to me, and I was greatly astonished at their large numbers, for they had filled every hill and mountain. It was said to me: This is your community, and with them are seventy thousand people who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment. These are the people who do not cauterize for treatment, do not practice ruqyah or incantations, do not take bad omens, and rely upon their Lord." Upon hearing this, Sayyiduna 'Ukasha bin Mihsan Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him) stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Pray to Allah that He makes me among them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for him. Then another man stood up and said: O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Pray to Allah that He makes me among them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'Ukasha has preceded you."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was praying when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by, and with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) were Sayyiduna Abu Bakr and Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both). Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) began reciting Surah An-Nisa and continued to recite it skillfully. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever wishes to recite the Qur'an as firmly as it was revealed, let him recite it like Ibn Umm 'Abd." Then he sat and began to supplicate, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Ask, you will be given." He supplicated: «اللّٰهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ إِيمَانًا لَا يَرْتَدُّ وَنَعِيمًا لَا يَنْفَدُ وَمُرَافَقَةَ مُحَمَّدٍ فِي أَعْلَى جَنَّةِ الْخُلْدِ» "O Allah! I ask You for such blessings that never end, for such coolness of the eyes that never ceases, and I ask for the companionship of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the eternal Paradise." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) went to give him the glad tidings, but found that Sayyiduna Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) had preceded him, upon which Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: If you have done this, then indeed you are always foremost in good deeds.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Some speech has an effect like magic, and the worst of people will be those who live to see the time of the Hour, or those who make graveyards a place of prostration."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that Allah's curse is upon the woman who plucks hair, the one who files teeth, the one who joins someone else's hair with her own, the one who tattoos, and the one who changes Allah's creation. And why should I not curse the one whom the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has cursed? Upon this, a woman from Banu Asad said, "What if the women of your household do this?" Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied, "Go and see." The woman went to his house, then came back and said, "I did not find anything objectionable there, but I do not find this command in the Qur'an." He replied, "Why not? This is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has said."
