[Machine] I went to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque, so I sat with him. He asked me, "O Abu Dharr, did you pray?" I said, "No." He said, "Then get up and pray." So I got up and prayed, then I came to him and sat with him again. He said, "O Abu Dharr, seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the demons of humans and jinn." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, do humans have demons?" He said, "Yes, O Abu Dharr. Shall I not guide you to a treasure from the treasures of Paradise?" I said, "Yes, O my father, may my mother and father be sacrificed for you." He said, "Say 'There is no power or strength except with Allah,' as it is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is prayer?" He said, "It is a set of good deeds, so whoever wishes may increase it and whoever wishes may decrease it." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is fasting?" He said, "It is a satisfying loan." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is charity?" He said, "It is multiplied and increased with Allah." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which is the best?" He said, "An effort from a person with little or a secret charity to a poor person." I said, "Which verse that Allah has revealed to you is the greatest?" He said, "{Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence}" [Al-Baqarah 255] until the end of the verse. I said, "Who was the first prophet, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Adam." I said, "Was he a prophet, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Yes, he was a speaking prophet." I said, "How many messengers, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Three hundred and fifteen, a large number."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ لِي يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ هَلْ صَلَّيْتَ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ اسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَهَلْ لِلْإِنْسِ مِنْ شَيَاطِينَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَلَا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى كَنْزٍ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي قَالَ قُلْ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللهِ فَإِنَّهَا كَنْزٌ مِنْ كُنُوزِ الْجَنَّةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ خَيْرٌ مَوْضُوعٌ فَمَنْ شَاءَ أَكْثَرَ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَقَلَّ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَمَا الصِّيَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ قَرْضٌ مُجْزِئٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَمَا الصَّدَقَةُ؟ قَالَ أَضْعَافٌ مُضَاعَفَةٌ وَعِنْدَ اللهِ مَزِيدٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَيُّهَا أَفْضَلُيَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ جُهْدٌ مِنْ مُقِلٍّ أَوْ سِرٌّ إِلَى فَقِيرٍ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّمَا أَنْزَلَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَيْكَ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ {اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ} [البقرة 255] حَتَّى خَتَمَ الْآيَةَقُلْتُ فَأَيُّ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ كَانَ أَوَّلَ؟ قَالَ آدَمُ قُلْتُ أَوَنَبِيٌّ كَانَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ نَبِيٌّ مُكَلَّمٌ قُلْتُ فَكَمِ الْمُرْسَلُونَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَخَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ جَمًّا غَفِيرًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque, and they thought that he was being visited, so they shortened their distance from him. Then Abu Dharr came and placed himself next to him. The Prophet ﷺ faced him and said, "O Abu Dharr, have you prayed today?" He replied, "No." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Stand up and pray." After he performed four units of Duha prayer, the Prophet ﷺ approached him and said, "O Abu Dharr, seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the devils among the jinn and the humans." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, do humans also have devils?" He replied, "Yes, there are devils among humans and jinns, and they inspire each other with false embellished speech." Then the Prophet ﷺ said, "O Abu Dharr, shall I not teach you a word from the treasures of Paradise?" Abu Dharr said, "Yes, may Allah make me your ransom." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Say 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah' (There is no power or strength except with Allah)." Abu Dharr said, "I said, 'La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah'." Then the Prophet ﷺ fell silent, so I hesitated to speak. Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, we were people of ignorance and idol worship. Then Allah sent you as a mercy to the worlds. What is your opinion on prayer?" He said, "It is the best thing that one can engage in. Whoever wants to perform a shorter prayer can do so, and whoever wants to extend it can do so." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion on fasting?" He said, "It is a loan that will be fully compensated." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion on charity?" He said, "It is multiplied and increased by Allah. Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, which type of charity is best?" He said, "A hidden charity to a deserving person, and a donation from what one can spare." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, which of the revelations that were sent down to you is the greatest?" He said, "Ayat al-Kursi (The Throne Verse), Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence." (Quran 2:255) Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, which martyrs are the best?" He said, "Those whose blood is spilled and their horses are struck." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, which slaves are the best?" He said, "Those who are highly valued by their owners and are highly paid." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, which prophets were the first?" He said, "Adam." Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, was there a prophet before Adam?" He replied, "Yes, there was a speaking prophet whom Allah created with His own hand and then breathed into him His spirit. Then He said to him, 'O Adam, go and greet those people.' He said, 'Peace be upon you.'" Then Abu Dharr said, "O Messenger of Allah, how many prophets' nations were fulfilled?" He replied, "One hundred and twenty-four thousand prophets, among them three hundred and fifteen messengers."
