It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a person asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about "Kawthar." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that it is the name of a river which my Lord has granted me. Its water will be whiter than milk and sweeter than honey, and there will be birds in it with necks like those of camels. Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Then those birds will be very healthy." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "O Umar! Those who eat them will be even healthier than them."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) intended to attack a people, he would not attack at night but would wait until morning. If he heard the sound of the call to prayer (adhan) from there, he would refrain; otherwise, he would attack.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that there was no one who performed the Asr prayer more quickly than the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Among the Ansar, there were two men whose houses were the farthest from the Prophet’s Mosque. One was Hazrat Abu Lubabah bin Abdul Mundhir (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Amr bin Auf, and the other was Hazrat Abu Abas bin Jabr (may Allah be pleased with him), who belonged to Banu Harithah. Hazrat Abu Lubabah’s (may Allah be pleased with him) house was in Quba, and Hazrat Abu Abas’s (may Allah be pleased with him) house was in Banu Harithah. Both of them would perform the Asr prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and when they returned to their people, they had not yet performed the Asr prayer, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to perform it quickly.

(Marfu‘ hadith) Ya‘qub narrated to us, my father informed us, from Ibn Ishaq, he narrated to me from Ziyad ibn Abi Ziyad, the freed slave of Ibn ‘Abbas, who said: I returned from the Dhuhr prayer with ‘Umar after Hisham ibn Isma‘il had led the people in prayer, as he was the governor of Madinah, to ‘Amr ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Abi Talhah to visit him due to an illness he had. We had not sat down nor asked about him except while standing. He said: Then we left and entered upon Anas ibn Malik in his house, which was next to the house of Abu Talhah. He said: When we sat down, the servant girl came to him and said: The prayer, O Abu Hamzah! He said: We said: Which prayer, may Allah have mercy on you? He said: ‘Asr. He said: So we said: We have just prayed Dhuhr now! He said: He replied: You have delayed the prayer until you forgot it, or he said: You forgot it until you delayed it. I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say:“I and the Hour have been sent like these two,”and he joined his index and middle fingers.

Ziyad bin Abi Ziyad (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once, after Umar and I had finished offering the Zuhr prayer—which was led by Hisham bin Isma'il, as he was the governor of Madinah at that time—we went to inquire about the health of Amr bin Abdullah. We did not sit there; we only asked about his condition while standing. Then we went to visit Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), whose house was next to the house of Abu Talhah (may Allah be pleased with him). As soon as we sat down there, a slave girl came to him and said, "O Abu Hamzah! The time for prayer has come." We asked, "May Allah's mercy be upon you, which prayer?" He replied, "The Asr prayer." We said, "We have just offered the Zuhr prayer." He said, "You have neglected the prayer to the extent that you have forgotten it. I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: 'I and the Hour have been sent like these two fingers together.'" Saying this, he pointed with his index and middle fingers and extended them. Hadith number (13509) is also narrated through this second chain.

Ibrahim narrated to us, Abu Uways narrated to us, from Muhammad ibn Abdullah ibn Muslim, the nephew of Az-Zuhri, from his father, from Anas ibn Malik, from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, regarding Al-Kawthar, similar to the hadith of Az-Zuhri exactly.

In the copy available to us, only the word "حدثنا" is written here.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade visiting graveyards, eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, and drinking nabidh from dubba, naqir, hantam, and muzaffat vessels. Then, after some time had passed, he said: I had previously forbidden you from three things, but now my opinion about them has become clear. I had forbidden you from visiting graveyards, but now my opinion is that it softens the hearts, brings tears to the eyes, and reminds one of the Hereafter, so visit the graveyards, but do not speak indecently. Similarly, I had forbidden you from eating the meat of sacrifice after three days, but now my opinion is that people give this meat as gifts to their guests and keep it stored for those who are absent, so you may keep it for as long as you wish. Also, I had forbidden you from drinking nabidh in those vessels, but now you may drink from whichever vessel you wish, but do not drink anything intoxicating. Now, whoever wishes may seal the mouth of his waterskin against something sinful.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) performed the Zuhr prayer with four rak'ahs in Masjid Nabawi, and when he reached Dhul-Hulaifah, he led the Asr prayer with two rak'ahs. At that time, there was peace and security on all sides; during the Farewell Pilgrimage, there was no kind of fear at all.

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that we used to perform the Friday prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and after that we would reach our resting place and take a midday nap.
