It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A woman is married for one of three reasons: either for her wealth, or for her beauty, or for her religion. Marry the woman who possesses religion and good character, may your hands be dusted.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once Hazrat Usaid bin Hudair (may Allah be pleased with him) was reciting the Holy Qur'an at night in the enclosure of his camels when suddenly his horse began to startle. The more he recited, the more the horse startled. Hazrat Usaid (may Allah be pleased with him) says that he feared the horse might trample his son Yahya, so he went towards him. Suddenly, he felt a canopy above his head in which there were things like lamps. It ascended towards the sky until it disappeared from his sight. The next day, he presented himself before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Last night I was reciting the Holy Qur'an in my enclosure when suddenly my horse began to startle." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Ibn Hudair! You should have continued reciting." He replied, "I continued reciting, but its startling increased." Three times the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said the same. Finally, he said, "Since Yahya was near it, I feared it might trample him, so I went to him. At that time, I saw a canopy in which there were things like lamps. That canopy ascended towards the sky until it disappeared from my sight." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Those were angels who were listening to your recitation. If you had continued reciting, in the morning people would have seen them and nothing would have remained hidden from them."

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 Musa (peace be upon him) submitted in the court of Allah, "O Lord! Great hardships befall Your believing servant in this world." Allah opened a door of Paradise and showed it to him and said, "O Musa! I have prepared all this for him." Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) said, "O Lord! By Your honor and majesty! If a man were to walk on his face from the day of his birth until the Day of Resurrection, and his hands and feet were cut off, but his abode is this, he would not feel any hardship in it." Then Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) submitted, "O Lord! Your disbelieving servant has great abundance in this world?" Allah opened a door of Hell and showed it to him and said, "O Musa! I have prepared this for him." Hazrat Musa (peace be upon him) said, "O Lord! By Your honor and majesty! If he were given the world from his birth until the Day of Resurrection, but his abode is this, he would have gained nothing good."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever takes a bath on Friday, uses a miswak, applies perfume (if available), wears good clothes, then goes out to the mosque, does not step over people's necks, prays as many voluntary prayers as he wishes, and when the Imam comes out, remains silent and does not speak until the prayer is finished, then this will be an expiation for all the sins committed between this Friday and the previous Friday. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) would also include the next three days and would say that Allah has fixed the reward of every good deed as ten 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: When the day of Friday comes, the angels sit at the doors of the mosque and record the rewards of those who come in order of their arrival. The reward of some is equal to giving a camel in charity, some to a cow, some to a goat, some to a chicken, some to a sparrow, and some to an egg in charity. Then when the muezzin gives the call to prayer and the imam sits on the pulpit, the records are folded up and the angels enter the mosque to listen to the remembrance.

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 the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once distributed some food items among the people, some of which were better than others. We began to bargain with each other, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade us from doing so, instructing that the sale should only be by measure, and there should be no excess in it.

Once, Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) was narrating a hadith of similar content when Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to meet him and said, "O Abu Saeed! What is this hadith that you are narrating from the Prophet (peace be upon him)?" He replied, "I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: 'Sell gold for gold in equal measure and silver for silver in equal measure.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting and waiting for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came from the house of one of his noble wives. We started walking with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). On the way, the sandal of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) broke. Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) stopped and began to mend the sandal, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went ahead. We also kept walking. When we reached a place, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stopped and began to wait for Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him). We also stopped. During this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Among you there will be a man who will fight for the interpretation and explanation of the Holy Qur'an just as I fought for its revelation." Hearing this, we began to look around at each other. At that time, Hazrat Abu Bakr and Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) were also present among us, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It is the one who is mending the sandal." Upon this, we went to give Hazrat Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) this glad tidings, and it seemed as if he had already heard this himself.

A man came to Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and said, "Give me some advice." He replied, "You have requested the same thing that I requested from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I advise you to fear Allah, for it is the foundation of everything. Make jihad obligatory upon yourself, for it is the monasticism of Islam. And make the remembrance of Allah and the recitation of the Qur'an obligatory upon yourself, for the sky is your soul and the earth is your remembrance." It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that once we were sitting waiting for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)... Then the narrator mentioned the entire hadith, and at the end said, "It seemed as if he had also heard this statement."
