Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (Fadalah bin Ubaid, may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) used to offer the morning prayer at a time when we could recognize the person sitting next to us. In the morning prayer, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would recite sixty to one hundred verses, and he would offer the Zuhr prayer when the sun had declined, and the Asr prayer at such a time that after offering the prayer, we would reach the farthest boundary of Madinah Munawwarah, but the sun would still be bright. And he did not consider it objectionable to delay the Isha prayer until one-third of the night had passed.

On the occasion of the Conquest of Makkah, he killed ‘Abdul-‘Uzza ibn Khatal, who was hiding under the covering of the Ka‘bah. He participated in all the battles (ghazawat). He first resided in Basrah, then went to Khurasan and stayed in Marw, and later returned to Basrah. He used to give abundant charity to orphans, widows, and the needy. He would stand in prayer at night frequently, to the extent that he would even wake his wife for it. He passed away in 64 Hijri.
