[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was in the mosque, and I sat down. He said, "O Abu Dharr, have you prayed?" I said, "No." He said, "Then get up and pray." So I got up and prayed, then I sat down. He said, "O Abu Dharr, seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the human and jinn devils." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, are there devils among humans?" He said, "Yes." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about prayer?" He said, "It is a good act of worship. Whoever wants can do less and whoever wants can do more." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about fasting?" He said, "It is a satisfying loan, and with Allah, there is reward." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about charity?" He said, "It is multiplied and increased." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which is the best?" He said, "Effort in giving, from a person with modest means, or giving in secret to a needy person." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, who was the first of the prophets?" He said, "Adam." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, was he a prophet?" He said, "Yes, he was a speaking prophet." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how many messengers were there?" He said, "Three hundred and something, or fifteen." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, was Adam a prophet?" He said, "Yes, he was a speaking prophet." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which verse that was revealed to you is the greatest?" He said, "Ayat al-Kursi (Allah! There is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of existence)" [Quran 2:255].  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَجَلَسْتُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ هَلْ صَلَّيْتَ؟ قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ قُمْ فَصَلِّ قَالَ فَقُمْتُ فَصَلَّيْتُ ثُمَّ جَلَسْتُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ تَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّ شَيَاطِينِ الْإِنْسِ وَالْجِنِّ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلِلْإِنْسِشَيَاطِينُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ خَيْرٌ مَوْضُوعٌ مَنْ شَاءَ أَقَلَّ وَمَنْ شَاءَ أَكْثَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَالصَّوْمُ ؟ قَالَ قَرْضٌ مُجْزِئٌ وَعِنْدَ اللهِ مَزِيدٌ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَالصَّدَقَةُ؟ قَالَ أَضْعَافٌ مُضَاعَفَةٌ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ فَأَيُّهَا أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ جَهْدٌ مِنْ مُقِلٍّ أَوْ سِرٌّ إِلَى فَقِيرٍ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ كَانَ أَوَّلُ؟ قَالَ آدَمُ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَنَبِيٌّ كَانَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ نَبِيٌّ مُكَلَّمٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَمِ الْمُرْسَلُونَ؟ قَالَ ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَبِضْعَةَ عَشَرَ جَمًّا غَفِيرًا وَقَالَ مَرَّةً خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ آدَمُ أَنَبِيٌّ كَانَ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ نَبِيٌّ مُكَلَّمٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيُّمَا أُنْزِلَ عَلَيْكَ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ (اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُ) [البقرة 255]  

[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."
