I never saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raising his hands and praying on the pulpit or otherwise. But I saw him saying (doing) this way, and he would point with his forefinger making a circle by joining the middle finger with his thumb. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 1105)  

«مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ شَاهِرًا يَدَيْهِ قَطُّ فِي الدُّعَاءِ عَلَى مِنْبَرٍ وَلَا غَيْرِهِ وَلَكِنِّي رَأَيْتُهُ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَعَقَدَ الْوُسْطَى بِالْإِبْهَامِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day came out to us while we were reciting the Qur’an. He said: Praise be to Allah. The Book of Allah is one, and among you are the red, and among you are the white and among you are the black. Recite it before there appear people who will recite it and straighten it as an arrow is straightened. They will get their reward for it in this world and will not get it in the Hereafter. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 831)  

خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ نَقْتَرِئُ فَقَالَ «الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَاحِدٌ وَفِيكُمُ الْأَبْيَضُ وَفِيكُمُ الْأَسْوَدُ اقْرَأُوهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْرَأَهُ أَقْوَامٌ يُقَوِّمُونَهُ كَمَا يُقَوَّمُ السَّهْمُ يَتَعَجَّلُ أَحَدُهُمْ أَجْرَهُ وَلَا يَتَأَجَّلُهُ»  

[Machine] Two men disagreed about the covenant of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in the mosque that was established on righteousness. One of them said it is the mosque of Madinah, and the other said it is the mosque of Quba. So they came to the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "This is my mosque."  

اخْتَلَفَ رَجُلَانِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ الَّذِي أُسِّسَ عَلَى التَّقْوَى فَقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا هُوَ مَسْجِدُ الْمَدِينَةِ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ هُوَ مَسْجِدُ قُبَاءَ فَأَتَوُا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «هُوَ مَسْجِدِي هَذَا»  

[Machine] "If I were to give you water from the well of Buza'ah, you would dislike it, and by Allah, I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ drink from it with my own hand."  

«لَوْ أَنِّي أَسْقِيكُمْ مِنْ بِئْرِ بُضَاعَةَ لَكَرِهْتُمْ وَقَدْ وَاللهِ سَقَيْتُ مِنْهَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ بِيَدِي»  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever has a connection in the city, let him hold onto it. And whoever does not have a connection in the city, let him establish one. For there will come a time when the one who does not have a connection will be like a stranger passing through it to another place."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ لَهُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ أَصْلٌ فَلْيَسْتَمْسِكْ بِهِ وَمَنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ بِهَا أَصْلٌ فَلْيَجْعَلْ لَهُ بِهَا أَصْلًا فَلَيَأْتِيَّنَّ عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَكُونُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ لَهُ بِهَا أَصْلٌ كَالْخَارِجِ مِنْهَا الْمُجْتازِ إِلَى غَيْرِهَا»  

[Machine] While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Suhaib ibn Bayda' was riding with him, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Suhaib ibn Bayda'a!" And he raised his voice two or three times, all of which Suhaib answered. So the people heard the voice of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . They knew that he wanted them, so whoever was in front of him sat down and whoever was behind him followed him until they gathered. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah, Allah has made Paradise obligatory for him."  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَسُهَيْلُ ابْنُ بَيْضَاءَ رِدْفُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا سُهَيْلُ ابْنُ بَيْضَاءَ» وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا كُلُّ ذَلِكَ يُجِيبُهُ سُهَيْلٌ فَيَسْمَعَ النَّاسُ صَوْتَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُهُمْ فَجَلَسَ مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَحِقَهُ مَنْ كَانَ خَلْفَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا اجْتَمَعُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ وَأَوْجَبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] About Ibn Shihab, he said, "Regarding the naming of the one who witnessed the Battle of Badr from the Ansar and then from the Banu Najjar, it was Suhayl ibn Rafi' ibn Abi Amr. He had a mosque near the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called Mirbad."  

عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ «فِي تَسْمِيَةِ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ رَافِعِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ لَهُ وَلِأَخِيهِ مَسْجِدُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِرْبَدًا»  

[Machine] I heard al-Hasan saying, "The nobles of Quraysh gathered at the door of 'Umar. Among them were al-Harith bin Hisham, Abu Sufyan bin Harb, Suhail bin Amr, and those slaves and servants who were companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . His permission was granted, and he gave permission to Bilal, Suhaib, and others like them, while leaving the others. Abu Sufyan said, 'I have never seen a day like this when permission is given to these slaves and we are left sitting at his door, not given permission.' Suhail bin Amr, who was a wise man, said, 'O people, by Allah, I see what is in your faces. If you are angry, then be angry with yourselves. The people were called and you were called, so hurry up and you were slow. Or, by Allah, when you rushed ahead of others in virtue, you will suffer a greater loss than if you had missed something from your own door that you competed for.'" Al-Hasan said, "Allah does not make a servant more eager to approach Him than a servant who is slower in doing so."  

سَمِعْتُ الْحَسَنَ يَقُولُ اجْتَمَعَ أَشْرَافُ قُرَيْشٍ عِنْدَ بَابِ عُمَرَ ؓ فِيهِمُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ وَأَبُو سُفْيَانَ بْنُ حَرْبٍ وَسُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَتِلْكَ الْعَبِيدُ وَالْمَوَالِي مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَخَرَجَ إِذْنُهُ فَأَذِنَ لِبِلَالٍ وَصُهَيْبٍ وَنَحْوِهِمَا وَتَرَكَ الْآخَرِينَ فَقَالَ أَبُو سُفْيَانَ لَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ إِنَّهُ أَذِنَ لِهَذِهِ الْعَبِيدِ وَتَرَكَنَا جُلُوسًا بِبَابِهِ لَا يَأْذَنُ لَنَا فَقَالَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو وَكَانَ رَجُلًا عَاقِلًا «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي وَاللهِ لَقَدْ أَرَى الَّذِي فِي وُجُوهِكُمْ فَإِنْ كُنْتُمْ غِضَابًا فاغْضَبُوا عَلَى أَنْفُسِكُمْ دُعِيَ الْقَوْمُ ودُعِيتُمْ فَأَسْرَعُوا وأَبْطَأْتُمْ أَمْ وَاللهِ لَمَا سَبَقْتُمْ إِلَيْهِ مِنَ الْفَضْلِ أَشَدُّ عَلَيْكُمْ فَوْتًا مِنْ بابِكُمُ الَّذِي تَنَافَسْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ» قَالَ الْحَسَنُ لَا يَجْعَلُ اللهُ عَبْدًا أَسْرَعَ إِلَيْهِ كَعَبْدٍ أَبْطَأَ عَنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "Whoever says, 'O Allah, indeed I bear witness that You are Allah, there is no deity except You, You alone, there is no partner for You, and I bear witness that Muhammad is Your servant and messenger,' Allah will free a third of him from the Fire. And whoever says it twice, Allah will free two-thirds of him from the Fire. And whoever says it three times, Allah will free him completely from the Fire."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَأُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَحَمَلَةَ عَرْشِكَ وَأُشْهِدُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ أَنَّكَ أَنْتَ اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ مَنْ قَالَهَا مَرَّةً أَعْتَقَ اللهُ ثُلُثَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ أَعْتَقَ اللهُ ثُلُثَيْهِ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا أَعْتَقَ كُلَّهُ مِنَ النَّارِ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, every prophet has a successor, so who is your successor?" He remained silent about it. Then, after some time, he saw me and said, "O Salman!" I hurried towards him and said, "Here I am, at your service!" He asked, "Do you know who is the successor of Musa?" I replied, "Yes, it is Yusha bin Nun." He said, "Why?" I said, "Because he was the most knowledgeable among them." He then said, "Indeed, my successor and the one in charge of my secrets and the best one to carry on after me, and to fulfill my obligations and pay off my debts, is Ali ibn Abi Talib." Abu Al-Qasim said, "His statement 'successor' means that he appointed him as a guardian for his family, not in terms of the caliphate. And his statement 'the best one to carry on after me' means from his household." ﷺ  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لِكُلِّ نَبِيٍّ وَصِيٌّ فَمَنْ وَصِيُّكَ؟ فَسَكَتَ عَنِّي فَلَمَّا كَانَ بَعْدُ رَآنِي فَقَالَ «يَا سَلْمَانُ» فَأَسْرَعْتُ إِلَيْهِ قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ قَالَ «تَعْلَمُ مَنْ وَصِيُّ مُوسَى؟» قُلْتُ نَعَمْ يُوشَعُ بْنُ نُونٍ قَالَ «لِمَ؟» قُلْتُ لِأَنَّهُ كَانَ أَعْلَمُهُمْ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ وَصِيِّ وَمَوْضِعُ سِرِّي وَخَيْرُ مَنْ أَتْرُكُ بَعْدِي وَيُنْجِزُ عِدَتِي وَيَقْضِي دَيْنِي عَلِيُّ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ» قَالَ أَبُو الْقَاسِمِ قَوْلُهُ وَصِيِّ يَعْنِي أَنَّهُ أَوْصَاهُ فِي أَهْلِهِ لَا بِالْخِلَافَةِ وَقَوْلُهُ خَيْرُ مَنْ أَتْرُكُ بَعْدِي يَعْنِي مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] I attended Al-Hajjaj ibn Yusuf hitting Abbas ibn Sahl ibn Saad As-Sa'idi in the matter of Ibn Zubayr. So his father, Sahl, came out wearing a robe and cloak and shouted at Al-Hajjaj, asking him if he does not remember the will of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ regarding us. Al-Hajjaj replied, "And what did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ advise regarding you all?" He said, "He advised to treat the good Ansar kindly and forgive those who harm them." So he sent him.  

حَضَرْتُ الْحَجَّاجَ بْنَ يُوسُفَ يَضْرِبُ عَبَّاسَ بْنَ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ السَّاعِدِيَّ فِي أَمْرِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ فَطَلَعَ أَبُوهُ سَهْلٌ فِي إِزَارٍ وَرِدَاءٍ لَهُ فَصَاحَ بِالْحَجَّاجِ أَلَا تَحْفَظُ فِينَا وَصِيَّةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَ وَمَا أَوْصَى بِهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِيكُمْ؟ قَالَ «أَوْصَى أَنْ يُحْسَنَ إِلَى مُحْسِنِ الْأَنْصَارِ وَيُعْفَى عَنْ مُسِيئِهِمْ» فَأَرْسَلَهُ  

I swear by Allah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ prayed over Suhail b. al-Baida' in the mosque. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3189)  

«وَاللهِ مَا صَلَّى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى سُهَيْلِ ابْنِ بَيْضَاءَ إِلَّا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ»  

[Machine] "About Urwah, that he was asked about naming those who witnessed the Battle of Badr from the Quraysh, then from the Banu al-Harith ibn Fihri, Suhail ibn Bayda."  

عَنْ عُرْوَةَ «فِي تَسْمِيَةِ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فِهْرٍ سُهَيْلُ ابْنُ بَيْضَاءَ»  

[Machine] About Ibn Shihab: "In naming those who witnessed the Battle of Badr from the Quraysh and then from the Banu Harith ibn Fihr, Suhayl ibn Baydha”  

عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ «فِي تَسْمِيَةِ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي الْحَارِثِ بْنِ فِهْرٍ سُهَيْلُ ابْنُ بَيْضَاءَ»  

[Machine] While we were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Suhayl was riding alongside the Messenger of Allah ﷺ on his camel. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "O Suhayl ibn Bayda!" And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ raised his voice. Suhayl replied, "Here I am" and he also raised his voice. He did this two or three times. Suhayl said, "The people understood that he wanted to speak to them about something he wanted them to hear. So those who were behind us joined us, and those who were in front of us stopped until they all gathered. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever testifies that there is no god but Allah, Allah will make Paradise obligatory for him and make Hellfire forbidden upon him."  

بَيْنَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ وَسُهَيْلٌ رَدِيفُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَا سُهَيْلُ ابْنَ بَيْضَاءَ» وَرَفَعَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ صَوْتَهُ فَقَالَ سُهَيْلٌ لَبَّيْكَ وَرَفَعَ صَوْتَهُ صَنَعَ ذَلِكَ مَرَّتَيْنِ أَوْ ثَلَاثًا قَالَ سُهَيْلٌ عَرَفَ النَّاسُ أَنَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ يُسْمِعُهُمْ إِيَّاهُ فَلَحِقَنَا مَنْ كَانَ خَلْفَنَا وَحَبَسَ عَلَيْنَا مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْنَا حَتَّى اجْتَمَعُوا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ أَوْجَبَ اللهُ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَحَرَّمَهُ بِهَا عَلَى النَّارِ»  

[Machine] About Ibn Shihab, "Regarding the designation of those who witnessed the Battle of Badr from the Ansar, and then from the Banu Najjar, Suhail ibn Ubaid ibn Nu'man does not have lineage."  

عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ «فِي تَسْمِيَةِ مَنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي النَّجَّارِ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ النُّعْمَانِ لَا عَقِبَ»  

[Machine] Suhail bin Amr died in Sham in the year eighteen.  

«تُوُفِّيَ سُهَيْلُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو بِالشَّامِ سَنَةَ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whenever a group of people sit in a gathering and remember Allah, and then disperse, they will be told by Allah: 'Rise up, for I have forgiven your sins and replaced your bad deeds with good ones.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ مَجْلِسًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللهَ ﷻ فِيهِ فَيَقُومُونَ حَتَّى يُقَالَ لَهُمْ قُومُوا قَدْ غَفَرَ اللهُ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وبُدِّلَتْ سَيِّئَاتُكُمْ حَسَنَاتٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed the digging of a trench from the depths of the valley of Bani Haritha during the Battle of the Trench, until it reached the area of the butcher shops. He divided the digging into sections of forty arm-lengths, and the immigrants and the Ansar sought permission from Salman Al-Farisi, may Allah be pleased with him, who was a strong man. The immigrants said, "Salman is one of us," and the Ansar said, "Salman is one of us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Salman is one of us, the People of the House."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ خَطَّ الْخَنْدَقَ مِنْ أَحْمَرَ الْبَسْخَتَيْنِ طَرَفِ بَنِي حَارِثَةَ عَامَ حِزْبِ الْأَحْزَابِ حَتَّى بَلَغَ الْمَذَابِحَ فَقَطَعَ لِكُلِّ عَشَرَةٍ أَرْبَعِينَ ذِرَاعًا فَاحْتَجَّ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ وَالْأَنْصَارُ فِي سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ وَكَانَ رَجُلًا قَوِيًّا فَقَالَ الْمُهَاجِرُونَ سَلْمَانُ مِنَّا وَقَالَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ سَلْمَانُ مِنَّا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «سَلْمَانُ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ»  

[Machine] "He read the Quran and paused at its ambiguous parts, so he made what is halal permissible and what is haram prohibited."  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He read the Quran and paused at its ambiguous parts, then he made lawful what is lawful and prohibited what is prohibited.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He read the Qur'an and stopped at its ambiguous verses, so he made lawful what is lawful and prohibited what is prohibited.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He recited the Quran and paused at its ambiguous verses, so he allowed what was permitted and forbade what was prohibited.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He read the Quran and stopped at its ambiguous (i.e., metaphorical or unclear) verse, so he interpreted its lawful (i.e., permissible) aspects and prohibited its forbidden (i.e., impermissible) aspects.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He read the Quran and stopped at its ambiguous parts, then he interpreted its permissible aspects as permissible and its forbidden aspects as forbidden.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] The passage translates to "He read the Qur'an and stopped at its ambiguities, so he made the permissible lawful and the forbidden prohibited."  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He read the Quran and paused at its ambiguous verses, so he permitted what is lawful and prohibited what is unlawful.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He read the Qur'an and stopped at its ambiguous verses, so he made lawful what is lawful and prohibited what is prohibited.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] He read the Quran and stopped at its ambiguous parts, then he clarified its lawful and unlawful.  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] "He read the Quran and stopped at its ambiguous verses, then he permitted what is lawful and prohibited what is forbidden."  

«قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ وَوَقَفَ عِنْدَ مُتَشَابِهِهِ فَأَحَلَّ حَلَالَهُ وَحَرَّمَ حَرَامَهُ»  

[Machine] When Salman knew that death had arrived, he called me while he was in a room that had four doors. He said, "Open these doors, O Buqayrah, for today I have visitors and I do not know which of these doors they will enter through." Then he asked for some musk and said, "Rub it on my body with a tawr." So I did as he asked. Then he said, "Slaughter a sheep around my bed." After that, he said, "Take it down and stay by it, for soon you will see my proximity to my bed." So I looked and found that his soul had been taken, as if he were sleeping on his bed or something similar to that.  

لَمَّا حَضَرَ سَلْمَانَ الْمَوْتُ دَعَانِي وَهُوَ فِي عُلَيَّةٍ لَهَا أَرْبَعَةُ أَبْوَابٍ فَقَالَ افْتَحِي هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابَ يَا بُقَيْرَةُ فَإِنَّ لِيَ الْيَوْمَ زُوَّارًا لَا أَدْرِي مِنْ أَيِّ هَذِهِ الْأَبْوَابِ يَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيَّ ثُمَّ دَعَا بِمِسْكٍ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ ادْبِغِيهِ فِي تَوْرٍ فَفَعَلْتُ ثُمَّ قَالَ انْضَحِيهِ حَوْلَ فِرَاشِي ثُمَّ انْزِلِي فامْكُثِي فَسَوْفَ تَطَّلِعِينَ قِرْبَتِي عَلَى فِرَاشِي فَاطَّلَعْتُ فَإِذَا هُوَ قَدْ أُخِذَ رُوحُهُ فَكَأَنَّهُ نَائِمٌ عَلَى فِرَاشِهِ أَوْ نَحْوًا مِنْ هَذَا  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Three people will be led to Paradise by the Hoor al-Ayn: Ali, Ammar, and Salman."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ ثَلَاثَةٌ يُسَاقُ إِلَيْهِمُ الْحُورُ الْعِينُ عَلِيٌّ وَعَمَّارٌ وَسَلْمَانُ ؓ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: "Verily, Jannah (paradise) longs for four individuals - Ali ibn Abi Talib, Ammar ibn Yasir, Salman al-Farsi, and Miqdad ibn Aswad."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ تَشْتاقُ إِلَى أَرْبَعَةٍ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَعَمَّارِ بْنِ يَاسِرٍ وَسَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ وَالْمِقْدَادِ بْنِ الْأَسْوَدِ ؓ  

[Machine] I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ directing his gaze towards the sky, so I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is this?" He replied, "I saw an angel who descended with the deeds of Salman."  

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ شَخَصَ بِبَصَرِهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ مَلَكًا عَرَجَ بِعَمَلِ سَلْمَانَ»  

[Machine] "Ali said, 'Verily, every prophet is given seven intimate advisers, and we have been given fourteen. We asked Ali, 'Who are they?' He replied, 'Me, my two sons, Ja'far and Hamza, Abu Bakr, Umar, Mus'ab ibn Umair, Bilal, Salman, Ammar, and Abdullah ibn Mas'ood.' The number fourteen was not completed in this narrative."  

عَلِيٌّ ؓ «إِنَّ كُلَّ نَبِيٍّ أُعْطِيَ سَبْعَةَ نُجَبَاءَ رُفَقَاءَ وَإِنَّا أُعْطِيَتْ لَنَا أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ» قُلْنَا لِعَلِيٍّ مَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ أَنَا وَابْنَايَ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَحَمْزَةُ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَمُصْعَبُ بْنُ عُمَيْرٍ وَبِلَالٌ وَسَلْمَانُ وَعَمَّارٌ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ ؓ لَمْ يُتِمَّ عَدَدَ الْأَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ فِي هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Every prophet is given nine companions, and I was given fourteen." Ali was asked, "Who are they?" He said, "They are me, my two sons Hassan and Hussain, Hamza, Ja'far, Abu Bakr, Umar, Miqdad, Salman, Talha, and Zubayr." However, Fitr ibn Khalifa ibn Uyaynah disagreed with the chain of narrators of this Hadith.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «أُعْطِيَ كُلُّ نَبِيٍّ تِسْعَةَ رُفَقَاءَ وَأُعْطِيتُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ» فَقِيلَ لِعَلِيٍّ مَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ «أَنَا وَابْنَاي الْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ وَحَمْزَةُ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَالْمِقْدَادُ وَسَلْمَانُ وَطَلْحَةُ وَالزُّبَيْرُ ؓ» وَخَالَفَ فِطْرُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ ابْنَ عُيَيْنَةَ فِي إِسْنَادِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ  

I heard ‘Abdullah bin Mulail say: I heard Ali ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿThere is no Prophet who came before me but he was given seven chiefs, advisors and nobles, but I have been given fourteen. Hamzah, Jaʿfar, ʿAli, Hasan, Husain, Abu Bakr, ʻUmar, al-Miqdad, Hudhaifah, Salman, ʿAmmar and Bilal”. ؓ (Using translation from Aḥmad 1263)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ نَبِيٌّ قَدْ أُعْطِيَ سَبْعَةَ رُفَقَاءَ نُجَبَاءَ وُزَرَاءَ وَإِنِّي قَدْ أُعْطِيتُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ حَمْزَةُ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَعَلِيٌّ وَحَسَنٌ وَحُسَيْنٌ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ وَعَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ وَأَبُو ذَرٍّ وَالْمِقْدَادُ وَحُذَيْفَةُ وَعَمَّارٌ وَسَلْمَانُ وَبِلَالٌ رَحِمَهُمُ اللهُ  

[Machine] That Abu Darda went with Salman al-Farisi to propose to a woman from Banu Layth, and when he entered he mentioned the virtues of Salman and his precedence and his Islam, and he mentioned that he was proposing to their daughter, so they said, "As for Salman, we will not marry him, but we will marry you." So he married her, then he left and said, "Indeed, he was something, and I am hesitant to mention it." Abu Darda informed him of the news, and Salman said, "I am more deserving to be hesitant than you to propose to her, and Allah decreed her for you."  

أَنَّ أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ ذَهَبَ مَعَ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ يَخْطُبُ عَلَيْهِ امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنِي لَيْثٍ فَدَخَلَ فَذَكَرَ فَضْلَ سَلْمَانَ وَسَابِقَتَهُ وَإِسْلَامَهُ وَذَكَرَ أَنَّهُ يَخْطُبُ إِلَيْهِمْ فَتَاتَهُمْ فُلَانَةَ فَقَالُوا أَمَّا سَلْمَانُ فَلَا نُزَوِّجُهُ وَلَكِنَّا نُزَوِّجُكَ فَتَزَوَّجَهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَقَالَ إِنَّهُ كَانَ شَيْءٌ وَإِنِّي اسْتَحْيِي أَنْ أَذَكُرَ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «وَمَا ذَلِكَ؟» فَأَخْبَرَهُ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ بِالْخَبَرِ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ «أَنَا أَحَقُّ أَنْ أَسْتَحْيِيَ مِنْكَ أَنْ أَخْطُبَهَا وَكَانَ اللهُ قَدْ قَضَاهَا لَكَ»  

[Machine] That night, he stayed with Salman to observe his diligence. Salman said, "So he stood to pray at the end of the night as if he had not seen what he thought. He mentioned it to him, and Salman replied, 'May Allah have mercy on you, maintain these five prayers, for they are expiations for these wounds as long as they have not reached the level of being fatal. When people pray Isha, they divide into three groups: some have obligations and no debts, some have debts and no obligations, and some have neither debts nor obligations.' There was a man who took advantage of the darkness of the night in people's unawareness and committed sins. He indulged himself in disobedience. That is upon him, and not upon those who have debts or obligations. There was also a man who took advantage of the darkness of the night and people's unawareness, so he stood to pray. That is for him and not upon those who have neither debts nor obligations. There was a man who prayed and then slept. That is neither for him nor upon those who have neither debts nor obligations. Beware of excessive yawning, and be consistent in intent and perseverance."  

أَنَّهُ بَاتَ عِنْدَ سَلْمَانَ لَيَنْظُرَ مَا اجْتِهادُهُ قَالَ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ آخِرِ اللَّيْلِ فَكَأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَرَ الَّذِي كَانَ يَظُنُّ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ رَحِمَهُ اللهُ حَافِظُوا عَلَى هَذِهِ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ فَإِنَّهُنَّ كَفَّارَاتٌ لِهَذِهِ الْجِرَاحَاتِ مَا لَمْ تُصَبُ الْمَقْتَلَةُ فَإِذَا صَلَّى النَّاسُ الْعِشَاءَ صَدَرُوا عَلَى ثَلَاثِ مَنَازِلَ مِنْهُمْ مَنْ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا لَهُ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَا لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ فَرَجُلٌ اغْتَنَمَ ظُلْمَةَ اللَّيْلِ فِي غَفْلَةِ النَّاسِ فَرَكِبَ رَأْسُهُ فِي الْمَعَاصِي فَذَلِكَ عَلَيْهِ وَلَا لَهُ وَمَنْ لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ فَرَجُلٌ اغْتَنَمَ ظُلْمَةَ اللَّيْلِ وَغَفْلَةَ النَّاسِ فَقَامَ يُصَلِّي فَذَلِكَ لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ لَا لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ فَرَجُلٌ صَلَّى ثُمَّ نَامَ فَذَلِكَ لَا لَهُ وَلَا عَلَيْهِ وَإِيَّاكَ وَالْحَقْحَقَةَ وَعَلَيْكَ بِالْقَصْدِ وَالدَّوَامِ  

[Machine] There was a dispute between Salman al-Farsi and a person. Salman said, "O Allah, if he is lying, do not let him die until one of the three witnesses him." When the anger subsided, I asked, "O Abu Abdullah, what did you invoke for regarding this?" He said, "I inform you of the tribulation of the Dajjal and the tribulation of a leader, similar to the tribulation of the Dajjal, and greed, avarice, that will come upon people when a man becomes wealthy, he will not care about what affects others."  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ بَيْنَ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيِّ وَبَيْنَ إِنْسَانٍ مُنَازَعَةٌ فَقَالَ سَلْمَانُ «اللهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ كَاذِبًا فَلَا تُمِتْهُ حَتَّى يُدْرِكَهُ أَحَدُ الثَّلَاثَةِ» فَلَمَّا سَكَنَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ قُلْتُ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ مَا الَّذِي دَعَوْتَ بِهِ عَلَى هَذَا؟ قَالَ أُخْبِرُكَ فِتْنَةُ الدَّجَّالِ وَفِتْنَةُ أَمِيرٍ كَفِتْنَةِ الدَّجَّالِ وشُحٌّ شَحِيحٌ يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ إِذَا أَصَابَ الرَّجُلُ الْمَالَ لَا يُبَالِي مِمَّا أَصَابَهُ  

[Machine] Salman arrived with twelve or thirteen passengers from the companions of Muhammad ﷺ . When the prayer was about to start, they said, "Go ahead, O Abu Abdullah." He replied, "We do not lead you in prayer nor do we marry your women, for Allah has guided us through you." Then, a man from the people went forward and prayed four units. After he finished, Salman said, "Why did we join in when half of it was enough for us? We are in need of leniency." Abdul Razzaq said, meaning in travel.  

أَقْبَلَ سَلْمَانُ ؓ فِي اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ رَاكِبًا أَوْ ثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ رَاكِبًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ فَلَمَّا حَضَرَتِ الصَّلَاةُ قَالُوا تَقَدَّمْ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ «إِنَّا لَا نَؤُمُّكُمْ وَلَا نَنْكِحُ نِسَاءَكُمْ إِنَّ اللهَ ﷻ هَدَانَا بِكُمْ» قَالَ فَتَقَدَّمَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ فَصَلَّى أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَالَ سَلْمَانُ «مَا لَنَا وَلِلْمَرْبَعَةِ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَكْفِينَا نِصْفُ الْمَرْبَعَةِ وَنَحْنُ إِلَى الرُّخْصَةِ أَحْوَجُ» قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ يَعْنِي فِي السَّفَرِ  

[Machine] Salman saw a young girl, so he said to her in Persian, "Pray." She said, "No." He said, "Prostrate once." She said, "No." It was said, "Oh Abu Abdullah, will one prostration not suffice?" He said, "If she prays, let her pray. And there is no one who has a stake in Islam like the one who has no stake."  

أَصَابَ سَلْمَانُ ؓ جَارِيَةً فَقَالَ لَهَا بِالْفَارِسِيَّةِ «صَلِّي» قَالَتْ لَا قَالَ «اسْجُدِي وَاحِدَةً» قَالَتْ لَا قِيلَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ وَمَا تُغْنِي عَنْهَا سَجْدَةٌ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا لَوْ صَلَّتْ صَلَّتْ وَلَيْسَ مَنْ لَهُ سَهْمٌ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَمَنْ لَا سَهْمَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] Salman al-Farsi used to say, "When I finish my meal, praise be to Allah who has provided us with sustenance and has bestowed upon us ample provision."  

كَانَ سَلْمَانُ الْفَارِسِيُّ يَقُولُ إِذَا فَرَغَ مِنْ طَعَامِهِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي كَفَانَا الْمُؤْنَةَ وَأَوْسَعَ لَنَا الرِّزْقَ  

[Machine] Ibn Sireen reported that Abu Darda used to revive the night of Jumu'ah (Friday) and fast during its day. Salman came to him and the Prophet ﷺ had established a brotherly relationship between them, so Salman slept with him. Abu Darda intended to stay awake for the night, but Salman stood up to him and did not leave him until he fell asleep and broke his fast. Abu Darda then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him, and the Prophet ﷺ said, "Salman knows better than you. Do not single out the night of Jumu'ah with prayer or its day with fasting."  

عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ كَانَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ يُحْيِي لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَيَصُومُ يَوْمَهَا فَأَتَاهُ سَلْمَانُ وَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ آخَى بَيْنَهُمَا فَنَامَ عِنْدَهُ فَأَرَادَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَنْ يَقُومَ لَيْلَتَهُ فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ سَلْمَانُ فَلَمْ يَدَعْهُ حَتَّى نَامَ وَأَفْطَرَ فَجَاءَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عُوَيْمِرُ سَلْمَانُ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكَ لَا تَخُصَّ لَيْلَةَ الْجُمُعَةِ بِصَلَاةٍ وَلَا يَوْمَهَا بِصِيَامٍ»  

[Machine] He said, "Zaid, O Abu Abdullah, why do you do this while you are the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said, "Indeed, when the soul acquires its provision, it becomes serene and free to dedicate itself to worship, and it becomes immune from whispers."  

لَهُ زَيْدٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللهِ تَفْعَلُ هَذَا وَأَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ النَّفْسَ إِذَا أَحْرَزَتْ رِزْقَهَا اطْمَأَنَّتْ وتَفَرَّغَتْ لِلْعِبَادَةِ وَأَيِسَ مِنْهَا الْوَسْوَاسُ»  

[Machine] "Yes," they said, "are you the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ?" He said, "I do not know, so they doubted and said, "Perhaps he is not the one we are looking for." He said to them, "I am your companion, the one you are looking for. I have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sat with him. But the one who enters Paradise with him is his true companion. So what is your need?" They said, "We have come to you from your brother in Sham." He said, "Who is he?" They said, "Abu Darda." He asked, "Where is the gift he sent with you?" They said, "He did not send us with any gift." He said, "Fear Allah and fulfill your trust. No one comes from him except that he brings a gift with him." They said, "Do not rush us, for we have wealth. We will compensate you for it." He said, "I do not want your wealth. I only want the gift that he sent with you." They said, "By Allah, he did not send us with anything except that he said, 'Indeed, among you is a man who was the Messenger of Allah's companion. When he is alone with him, no one desires anything but him. So when you come to him, convey my greetings of peace to him.' " He said, "A gift, I wanted something other than this? And what gift is better than peace? A greeting from Allah, blessed and good."  

نَعَمْ قَالَا أَنْتَ صَاحِبُ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ لَا أَدْرِي فَارْتَابَا وَقَالَا لَعَلَّهُ لَيْسَ الَّذِي نُرِيدُ قَالَ لَهُمَا أَنَا صَاحِبُكُمَا الَّذِي تُرِيدَانِ قَدْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَجَالَسْتُهُ وَإِنَّمَا صَاحِبُهُ مَنْ دَخَلَ مَعَهُ الْجَنَّةَ فَمَا حَاجَتُكُمَا؟ قَالَا جِئْنَاكَ مِنْ عِنْدِ أَخٍ لَكَ بِالشَّامِ قَالَ مَنْ هُوَ؟ قَالَا أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ فَأَيْنَ هَدِيَّتُهُ الَّتِي أَرْسَلَ بِهَا مَعَكُمَا؟ قَالَا مَا أَرْسَلَ مَعَنَا بِهَدِيَّةٍ قَالَ اتَّقِيَا اللهَ وأَدِّيَا الْأَمَانَةَ مَا جَاءَ أَحَدٌ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ إِلَّا جَاءَ مَعَهُ بِهَدِيَّةٍ قَالَا لَا تَرْفَعْ عَلَيْنَا هَذَا إِنَّ لَنَا أَمْوَالًا فاحْتَكِمْ فِيهَا قَالَ مَا أُرِيدُ أمْوَالَكُمَا وَلَكِنِّي أُرِيدُ الْهَدِيَّةَ الَّتِي بَعَثَ بِهَا مَعَكُمَا قَالَا وَاللهِ مَا بَعَثَ مَعَنَا بِشَيْءٍ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِنَّ فِيكُمْ رَجُلًا كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا خَلَا بِهِ لَمْ يَبْغِ أَحَدٌ غَيْرَهُ فَإِذَا أَتَيْتُمَاهُ فَأَقْرِآهُ مِنِّي السَّلَامَ» قَالَ هَدِيَّةً كُنْتُ أُرِيدُ مِنْكُمَا غَيْرَ هَذِهِ وَأَيُّ هَدِيَّةٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنَ السَّلَامِ؟ تَحِيَّةً مِنْ عِنْدِ اللهِ مُبَارَكَةً طَيْبَةً  

[Machine] That Salman al-Farsi used to seek a place to pray in, so Iljaa said to him, "Seek a pure heart and pray wherever you want." He said, "I have understood."  

أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيَّ كَانَ يَلْتَمِسُ مَكَانًا يُصَلِّي فِيهِ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ عِلْجَةٌ الْتَمِسْ قَلْبًا طَاهِرًا وَصَلِّ حَيْثُ شِئْتَ قَالَ «فَقِهْتِ»  

[Machine] I heard Salman al-Farsi in Isfahan say, "A servant does not believe until he knows that what befalls him could not have missed him, and what misses him could not have befallen him."  

سَمِعْتُ سَلْمَانَ الْفَارِسِيَّ بأَصْبَهَانَ يَقُولُ «لَا يُؤْمِنُ عَبْدٌ حَتَّى يَعْلَمَ أَنَّ مَا أَصَابَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُخْطِئَهُ وَمَا أَخْطَأَهُ لَمْ يَكُنْ لِيُصِيبَهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever says, 'O Allah, I bear witness that You are Allah, and I bear witness that Your angels and the bearers of Your Throne and the heavens and all that is in them and the earths and all that is in them bear witness that there is no god but You, and I disbelieve in anyone who denies this from the past and the future. And I bear witness that Muhammad is Your servant and Your Messenger.' Whoever says it once, a third of his sins will be forgiven. Whoever says it twice, two-thirds of his sins will be forgiven. Whoever says it three times will be completely forgiven of all sins."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ مَنْ قَالَ اللهُمَّ إِنِّي أُشْهِدُكَ وَأُشْهِدُ مَلَائِكَتَكَ وَحَمَلَةَ الْعَرْشِ وَالسَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَالْأَرَضِينَ وَمَنْ فِيهِنَّ وَأُشْهِدُ جَمِيعَ خَلَقِكَ بِأَنَّكَ اللهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ وَأُكَفِّرُ مَنْ أَبَى ذَلِكَ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُكَ وَرَسُولُكَ مَنْ قَالَهَا مَرَّةً عُتِقَ ثُلُثُهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا مَرَّتَيْنِ عُتِقَ ثُلُثَاهُ مِنَ النَّارِ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا عُتِقَ مِنَ النَّارِ  

[Machine] That Salman passed by him while he was stationed in the land of Fars and said, "Shall I inform you of something that will be of assistance to you in guarding your post?" He replied, "Yes." He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Guarding a post for one day in the cause of Allah is better than fasting and praying for a month.'"  

أَنَّ سَلْمَانَ مَرَّ بِهِ وَهُوَ مُرَابِطٌ بِأَرْضِ فَارِسَ فَقَالَ أَلَا أُخْبِرُكَ بِأَمْرٍ يَكُونُ لَكَ عَوْنًا عَلَى رِباطِكَ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «رِبَاطُ يَوْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ صِيَامِ شَهْرٍ وَقِيَامِهِ»
