[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."
