Asim bin Sulayman al-Ahwal from Abu Uthman al-Nahdi

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are three whom Allah will not look at (with mercy) on the Day of Resurrection: an aged adulterer, a poor man who is arrogant, and a man who makes Allah his merchandise, who does not buy except with his oath and does not sell except with his oath."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the people of good deeds in this world will be the people of good in the Hereafter, and the people of evil in this world will be the people of evil in the Hereafter."

Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Fever sought permission from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) to come in, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked it: "Who are you?" It said: I am fever; I melt away the flesh and suck the blood. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Go to the people of Quba." So it went to them. They came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) with their faces turned pale, and complained to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about the fever. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "As you wish: if you wish, I will supplicate to Allah to remove it from you; and if you wish, leave it, so that it may cause the rest of your sins to fall away." They said: O Messenger of Allah! Rather, leave it be.

Through the same chain it is narrated: A man came and greeted the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with salam: 'As-salamu alaykum, O Messenger of Allah!' (Peace be upon you). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'Wa alayka as-salamu wa rahmatullah' (And upon you be peace and the mercy of Allah)." Then another man came and said: 'As-salamu alayka, O Messenger of Allah, wa rahmatullah!' (Peace be upon you and the mercy of Allah). He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "'Wa alayka as-salamu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh' (And upon you be peace, the mercy of Allah and His blessings)." Then another man came and said: 'As-salamu alayka, O Messenger of Allah, wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh!' (Peace be upon you, the mercy of Allah and His blessings). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: "'Wa alayk' (And upon you)." The man said: O Messenger of Allah! So-and-so and so-and-so came to you, and you answered them better than you answered me? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You left nothing remaining in the greeting. Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'And when you are greeted with a greeting, respond with one better than it or return it' [Surah al-Nisa: 86], so I returned the same greeting to you."

Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) with the zakah three times, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whom do you count as a martyr among you?" The Companions said: The one who is killed in the path of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the martyrs of my Ummah would be few. Being killed in the path of Allah is martyrdom, dying of plague is martyrdom, dying in childbirth is martyrdom, burning to death is martyrdom, drowning is martyrdom, tuberculosis is martyrdom, and dying of an abdominal disease is martyrdom."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whom do you count as a martyr among you?" The Companions said: The one who is killed in the path of Allah. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then the martyrs of my Ummah would be few. Being killed is martyrdom, plague is martyrdom, abdominal disease is martyrdom, and dying in childbirth is martyrdom."

Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: On the Day of Resurrection the sun will be given the heat of ten years, then it will be brought close to people's skulls - then the narrator mentioned the (rest of the) hadith - he said: Then the people will come to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and say: O Prophet of Allah! You are the one through whom Allah opened (the religion), and He has forgiven you your past and future sins, and you see the state we are in, so intercede for us with our Lord. He (peace and blessings be upon him) will say: "I am your (interceding) companion." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) will go out, driving the people (along with him), until he reaches the gate of Paradise; he will take hold of a ring of gold on the gate and knock on the gate. It will be asked: Who is this? It will be said: Muhammad. So the gate will be opened for him (peace and blessings be upon him). He (peace and blessings be upon him) will go forward until he stands before Allah and prostrates. A call will come: Raise your head; ask and you will be given, and intercede and your intercession will be accepted. That is the Praised Station (al-Maqam al-Mahmud).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Do not be the first to enter the market nor the last to leave it, for there Satan has laid eggs and hatched his young."

Sayyiduna Salman (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Some people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) asked them: "Do you have food?" They said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you have drink?" They said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "Do you strain it?" They said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: "And do you cool it?" They said: Yes. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then indeed the end of both of them is like the end of this world: one of you goes behind his house and holds his nose because of its stench."
