[Machine] I found one hundred dinars during the time of the Prophet ﷺ, so he said: "Inform us about its surroundings." I repeated it to him until he mentioned three situations, and then I said: "O Messenger of Allah, what should I do with it?"

وَجَدْتُ مِائَةَ دِينَارٍ فِي زَمَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ عَرِّفْهَا حَوْلًا فَكَرَّرَ عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى ذَكَرَ أَحْوَالًا ثَلَاثَةً فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَقَالَ شَأْنُكَ بِهَا

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Bilal, put a break between your call to prayer and the iqamah so that the person eating can finish their food at ease, and the person performing ablution can fulfill their needs comfortably."  

أحمد:٢١٢٨٥حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الرَّقَاشِيُّ الْخَرَّازُ حَدَّثَنَا سَلْمُ بْنُ قُتَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ مِغْوَلٍ عَنْ أَبِي الْفَضْلِ عَنْ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِعَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَا بِلَالُ اجْعَلْ بَيْنَ أَذَانِكَ وَإِقَامَتِكَ نَفَسًا يَفْرُغُ الْآكِلُ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ فِي مَهَلٍ وَيَقْضِي الْمُتَوَضِّئُ حَاجَتَهُ فِي مَهَلٍ

The above mentioned tradition has also been transmitted in a similar manner by Ibn 'Abbas from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1491)  

أحمد:٢١٢٨٦حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحِيمِ الْبَزَّازُ أَخْبَرَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ حَبِيبٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَارِكُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْعَبْدِيُّ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَوْزَاءِ عَنْ أُبَيِّ بْنِ كَعْبٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَا بِلَالُ فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited Tabarak [Al-Mulk (67)] one Friday, while he was standing and reminding us of the Days of Allah (i.e., preaching to us). Abu Darda’ or Abu Dharr raised an eyebrow at me and said: ‘When was this Surah revealed? For I have not heard it before now.’ He (Ubayy) gestured to him that he should remain silent. When they finished, he said: ‘I asked you when this Surah was revealed and you did not answer me.” Ubayy said: ‘You have gained nothing from your prayer today except the idle talk that you engaged in.’ He went to the Prophet ﷺ and told him about that, and what Ubayy had said to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘Ubayy spoke the truth.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 1111)

Abu Dhar (ra) used to say that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was at Makkah, the roof of my house was opened and Jibril descended, opened my chest, and washed it with Zamzam water. Then he brought a golden tray full of wisdom and faith, and having poured its contents into my chest, he closed it. Then he took my hand and ascended with me to the heaven. When Jibril reached the nearest heaven, he said to the gatekeeper of the heaven, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper asked, 'who is it?' Jibril answered, 'Jibril'. He asked, 'Is there anyone with you?' Jibril replied, 'Muhammad ﷺ is with me.' He asked, 'Has he been called?', Jibril said, 'Yes'. So, the gate was opened and we went over the nearest heaven, and there we saw a man sitting with Aswida (a large number of people) of his right and Aswida on his left. When he looked towards his right, he laughed and when he looked towards his left he wept. He said (to me), 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son'. I said, 'Who is this man O Jibril?' Jibril replied, 'He is Adam, and the people on his right and left are the souls of his offspring. Those on the right are the people of Paradise, and those on the left are the people of the (Hell) Fire. So, when he looks to the right, he laughs, and when he looks to the left he weeps.' Then Jibril ascended with me till he reached the second heaven and said to the gatekeeper, 'Open (the gate).' The gatekeeper said to him the same as the gatekeeper of the first heaven has said, and he opened the gate." Anas added: Abu Dhar mentioned that Prophet ﷺ met Idris, Musa (Moses), 'Isa (Jesus) and Ibrahim (Abraham) over the heavens, but he did not specify their places (i.e., on which heavens each of them was), but he mentioned that he (the Prophet ﷺ) had met Adam on the nearest heaven, and Ibrahim on the sixth. Anas said, "When Jibril and the Prophet ﷺ passed by Idris, the latter said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' the Prophet ﷺ asked, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Idris.' " The Prophet ﷺ added, "Then I passed by Musa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril said, 'He is Musa.' Then I passed by 'Isa who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious brother!' I said, 'Who is he?' He replied, 'He is 'Isa.' Then I passed by the Prophet ﷺ Ibrahim who said, 'Welcome, O pious Prophet and pious son!' I said, 'Who is he?' Jibril replied, 'He is Ibrahim'." Narrated Ibn 'Abbas and Abu Haiyya Al-Ansari: The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then Jibril ascended with me to a place where I heard the creaking of pens." Ibn Hazm and Anas bin Malik state the Prophet ﷺ said, "Allah enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on me. When I returned with this order of Allah, I passed by Musa who asked me, 'What has Allah enjoined on your followers?' I replied, 'He has enjoined fifty Salat (prayers) on them.' On the Musa said to me, 'Go back to your Lord (and appeal for reduction), for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord and asked for some reduction, and He reduced it to half. When I passed by Musa again and informed him about it, he once more said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' So, I returned to my Lord similarly as before, and half of it was reduced. I again passed by Musa and he said to me, 'Go back to your Lord, for your followers will not be able to bear it.' I again returned to my Lord and He said, 'These are five (Salat-prayers) and they are all (equal to) fifty (in reward), for My Word does not change.' I returned to Musa, he again told me to return to my Lord (for further reduction) but I said to him 'I feel shy of asking my Lord now.' Then Jibril took me till we reached Sidrat-ul-Muntaha (i.e., lote tree of utmost boundary) which was shrouded in colors indescribable. Then I was admitted into Paradise where I found small tents (made) of pearls and its earth was musk (a kind of perfume)." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3342)

[Machine] We accompanied the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and stopped at Dhu al-Hulayfah. Men hurried to Medina, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I stayed with him. When morning came, he asked about them and it was said that they had hurried to Medina. He said, "Hurry to Medina, and the women, for indeed, they will leave it more beautiful than it was." Then he said, "I wish my hair would catch fire when a fire will come out from Yemen, from the mountain of Al-Wiraq, and it will illuminate the necks of the camels in Busra, like the daylight."

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say. . . He then mentioned the tradition to the same effect. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4492)

[Machine] I used to serve the Prophet ﷺ and then I would go to the mosque when I finished my work, and I would lie down in it. One day, the Prophet ﷺ came to me while I was lying down, and he nudged me with his foot. So I sat up, and he said to me, "O Abu Dharr, what will you do if you are taken out of it?" I said, "I will return to the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ and to my house." He said, "And what will you do if you are taken out of it?" I said, "Then I will take my sword and strike anyone who takes me out." The Prophet ﷺ placed his hand on my shoulder and said, "May Allah forgive you, O Abu Dharr, but you will be thrown with them where they throw you, and you will be taken where they take you, even if it is to the land of the Abyssinians." Abu Dharr added, "So when I was expelled to Rabdhah, the prayers were established." Then a black man, who had some nice clothes and good perfume, came to pray, and when he saw me, he started to go back. I said to him, "You are just like what you are, but I am being driven away according to the order of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."

[Machine] I used to be a disbeliever, but Allah guided me to Islam. I was far from water, and my family was with me. I became junub (in a state of major ritual impurity), so it troubled me. Abu Dharr was described to me, so I searched for him and entered a mosque in Mina. I recognized him by the description: an elderly man with a flowing beard. I went and stood next to him while he was praying and greeted him, but he did not respond. Then he performed a prayer that was complete, perfect, and prolonged. When he finished, he responded to me. I said, "Are you Abu Dharr?" He replied, "My family claims so." He said, "I used to be a disbeliever, and Allah guided me to Islam. I used to neglect my religion, I was far from water and my family was with me. When junub occurred to me, it troubled me. He said, "Do you know Abu Dharr?" I said, "Yes." He said, "I embraced Islam while I was gathering firewood in Madinah. Ayyub or similar name commanded the Prophet ﷺ to give me a pair of camels and a flock of sheep. I would be far from water, and my family would be with me. When junub occurred to me, it troubled me to the extent that I thought I would be destroyed. So, I sat on one of the camels and went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the midday while he was sitting in the shade of the mosque with a group of his companions. I got off the camel and said, 'O Messenger of Allah, I am ruined!' He said, 'What has ruined you?' So, I told him my story, and he laughed. Then he called a man from his family, and a black slave girl came with a vessel of water in which there was some dirt. He ordered a man from the people to screen me, so I screened myself and performed Ghusl. Then I went to him, and he said, 'The good land is a purifier, as long as you do not find water. When you do find water, then be certain of its purity.'"

[Machine] About water, when I am afflicted with janabah (impurity after sexual activity), and I do not find water, I perform tayammum (dry ablution). But something gets into my mind about it, so I went to Abu Dhar's house, but I did not find him. Then I went to the mosque, and I was told how he usually looked like. When I saw him praying, I recognized him by his description, so I greeted him, but he did not respond until he left and then he responded. So I said, "Are you Abu Dhar?" He replied, "My family thinks so." So I said, "No one is more beloved to me than you." He said, "You have seen me." So I said, "I used to live away from water, so when I am afflicted with janabah, I wait for days to perform tayammum, but something happens to me or some confusion arises, so I asked, 'Do you know Abu Dhar?' I was in the city, so I walked to it, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me with some booty, so I went to collect it, and then I became afflicted with janabah, so I performed tayammum with sand and prayed for days, but something happened to me until I thought I was going to perish. So I ordered a camel or a saddle and I rode until I reached the city, and I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ under the shade of the mosque along with a group of his companions. So I greeted him and he raised his head and said, 'Subhan Allah! Abu Dhar?' I said, 'Yes, O Messenger of Allah! I have been afflicted with janabah, so I performed tayammum for days and something happened to me until I thought I was going to perish.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ supplicated for me and asked for water, and a black woman came with a container of water in a leather bag. I covered myself with the cloak, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered a man to cover me, and I performed ghusl (full ablution). Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'O Abu Dhar!

[Machine] We went out as pilgrims, and when we reached Ar-Rabadhah, I said to my companions, "Go ahead and I will stay behind." So, I went to Abu Dharr while he was praying, and I saw him prolonging the standing (Qiyam) and increasing the bowing (Ruku') and the prostration (Sujud). I mentioned that to him, and he said, "I do not mind if I stay longer in prayer, for I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever performs a Rak'ah (unit of prayer) or prostrates during a Sajdah (prostration), a degree is raised for him and a sin is erased from him because of it.'"

I have been given victory through awe, and my enemy is made fearful of me even from a distance of one month of travel. It was said to me, 'Ask and you will be given,' and I have kept my prayer as an intercession for my Ummah. It will be a means of nearness for some of you, by the will of Allah, for those who do not associate anything with Allah."

Abu Dharr said (and not the Prophet): If there is not anything like the back of a saddle in front of a man who is praying, then a donkey, a black dog, and a woman cut off his prayer. I asked him: Why has the black dog been specified, distinguishing it from a red, a yellow and a white dog? He replied: My nephew, I also asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ the same question as you asked me. He said: The black dog is a devil. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 702)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Abu Dharr, perform the prayer at its appointed time. If you come to the people and they have already prayed, then you have indeed fulfilled your prayer. But if they have not prayed, then you should pray with them, and it will be a voluntary prayer for you."

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , rode a donkey and made me ride behind him. He said, "O Abu Dharr, if people were to suffer from severe hunger and you couldn't walk from your bed to your mosque, what would you do?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Keep yourself chaste." He said, "O Abu Dharr, if people were to face a severe plague and the house, meaning the grave, is filled with a servant, what would you do?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Be patient." He said, "O Abu Dharr, if people were to kill each other until the streets are filled with blood, what would you do?" I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "Stay in your house and lock the door." I said, "But what if I am not left alone?" He said, "Join those you are afraid of, and be among them." I said, "Should I take my weapons?" He said, "Then you would be participating in what they are in. However, if you fear the gleam of the sword, cover your face with the edge of your garment until he commits his sin and you commit yours."

Messenger of Allah, what about the vessels of that Cistern? He said: By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, the vessels would outnumber the stars in the sky and its planets shining on a dark cloudless night. These would be the vessels of Paradise. He who drinks out of it (the Cistern) would never feel thirsty. There would flow in it two spouts from Paradise and he who would drink out of it would not feel thirsty; and the distance between its (two corners) is that between 'Amman and Aila, and its water is whiter than milk and sweeter than honey. (Using translation from Muslim 2300)

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed one night and recited a verse until he kneeled and prostrated with it, which says, "If you should punish them - indeed they are your servants; but if you forgive them - indeed it is you who is the Exalted in Might, the Wise" [Al-Ma'idah 118]. When morning came, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, you continued to recite this verse until you kneeled and prostrated with it." He said, "Indeed, I asked my Lord for intercession for my Ummah (nation) and He granted it to me, and it is inclusive, if Allah wills, for those who do not associate anything with Allah."

[Machine] To me, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "O Abu Dharr, which mountain is this?" I said, "It is Mount Uhud, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "By the One in whose hand is my soul, it does not please me that it be a mountain of gold that I spend in the path of Allah and leave even a qirat from it." I said, "A chest, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "A qirat." He repeated it three times, and then he said, "O Abu Dharr, I only say what is lesser, and I do not say what is greater."

[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which action is the best?" He replied, "Belief in Allah and striving in His cause." I then asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which slaves are the best?" He said, "Those whose lives are most valuable and whose ransom is the highest." I asked, "And if I cannot find any?" He said, "Then help a worker who is in need, or work yourself so you can provide for the destitute." I asked, "And if I am not able to do that?" He said, "Refrain from causing harm to others, as this is a charity you give on behalf of yourself."
