It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Talhah that once we were sitting in the courtyards of our houses when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Why do you sit on these elevations? Avoid sitting here. We said: O Messenger of Allah! We do not sit here for any sinful purpose, but only for conversation and mutual discussion. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Give the gatherings their due rights. We asked: What is their right? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Lower your gaze, respond to greetings, and speak good words.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) and Abu Talhah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whoever abandons a Muslim in a place where his honor is being violated and he is being humiliated, Allah will abandon him in the place where he seeks Allah’s help. And whoever helps a Muslim in a place where his honor is being diminished and he is being humiliated, Allah will help him in the place where he seeks Allah’s help.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Talha that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The angels of mercy do not enter a house in which there is a dog or pictures.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh Khuzai that I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) say: Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest; and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should treat his neighbor well; and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good words or remain silent.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Hospitality is for three days, and the right (of special hospitality) is only for one day and one night. And it is not permissible for any man to stay with someone so long that he makes him sinful. The people asked: O Messenger of Allah! How will he make him sinful? He said: He stays with him while he has nothing left for hospitality.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh that once the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this statement three times, swearing an oath each time: "That person cannot be a believer." The companions asked: "O Messenger of Allah! Who is that person?" He replied: "The one whose neighbors are not safe from his harms." The companions asked the meaning of "harms" (boaiq), so he said: "Evil."

Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh says that once ‘Amr bin Sa‘id was sending an army towards Makkah Mukarramah. I said,“O Amir, I seek your permission to narrate a hadith of the Messenger of Allah which he stated on the second day of the conquest of Makkah. I heard it with my own ears, remembered it with my heart, and saw the Messenger of Allah saying it with my own eyes. After praising Allah, he said: ‘Allah has made Makkah Mukarramah a sanctuary; people have not made it a sanctuary. Therefore, whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should not shed blood here, nor should he cut its trees. If anyone argues for the permissibility of bloodshed here by citing the fighting of the Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), then say to him that Allah had granted His Messenger a special permission, and that too was only for one hour of the day. Now its sanctity has returned as it was yesterday. Convey this command to those who are present and those who are absent.’”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh that I heard with my own ears the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying this, and I saw with my own eyes: Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should treat his neighbor well. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should honor his guest according to what is right. The companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! What is meant by "according to what is right"? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Hospitality is for three days, and "according to what is right" (a special, elaborate invitation) is only for one day and one night. Whatever is beyond that is charity upon him. And whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day should speak good words or remain silent. And it is not permissible for any man to stay with someone to such an extent that he makes him sinful.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: If a person's blood is shed or he is wounded, he has the choice of one of three things: either he takes retribution (qisas), or he accepts blood money (diyah), or he forgives. If he wants to choose a fourth option besides these, restrain his hand. If he chooses one of these three and then, acting rebelliously, kills (the offender), then for him is Hell, where he will abide forever.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Shurayh that on the day of the conquest of Makkah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) gave us permission to fight Banu Bakr, so we took our revenge on them. At that time, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was still in Makkah. Then he ordered us to lay down our swords. The next day, a group of us encountered a man from Banu Hudhayl in the Sacred Sanctuary who was going to greet the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). He had caused them much harm in the days of ignorance, and they were searching for him, so before he could reach the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and obtain a guarantee of safety for himself, they killed him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was informed of this incident, he became extremely angry. By Allah, I have never seen the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in a more angry state than that. We hurried to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr, Umar, and Ali to request them to intercede for us, and we were trembling with fear for our destruction. After finishing the prayer, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) stood up and praised Allah as is His due, then said: "As for what follows: Allah alone has made Makkah a sanctuary, not mankind. Even for me, fighting in it was made lawful only for a short time yesterday, and now it is as sacred as it was when Allah first made it a sanctuary. In the sight of Allah, the most rebellious of all people are three types: 1. The one who kills someone in the sanctuary. 2. The one who kills someone other than his own killer. 3. The one who seeks retribution for blood shed in the days of ignorance. By Allah, I will surely pay the blood money for the person whom you killed." Thus, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) paid his blood money.
