Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh that he says: On the Day of Judgment, a servant's feet will not move from their place until he is questioned about four things: about his body—how he wore it out; about his life—how he spent it; about his wealth—from where he earned it and where he spent it; and about his knowledge—how much he acted upon it.

It is narrated from Muhammad that he says a man came to Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal with his friends. They greeted Hazrat Mu'adh with salam, then bid farewell and requested advice. Hazrat Mu'adh said to them, "I advise you regarding two things. If you safeguard them, you will be protected. First, do not consider yourself rich from your share of the world, and you are in greater need of your share of the Hereafter. Therefore, give preference to your share of the Hereafter over your share of the world. Because your share of the world will either pass away from you or come to you and join you, and wherever you settle, it will settle with you."

It is narrated from Hazrat Shahr bin Hawshab that he says: A lump appeared in Hazrat Mu'adh's throat, so he said: "Press my throat." By your honor! I love you.

It is narrated from Abdullah bin Salamah that he said: Mu'adh said: Perform prayer and then sleep. Fast and then break your fast. Earn a livelihood but do not commit sins. And die in such a state that you are a Muslim, and avoid curses ... or he said ... the supplication of the oppressed.

It is narrated from Hazrat Aswad bin Hilal that he says: Hazrat Mu'adh bin Jabal said to me: Sit with us so that we may remember Allah for a while.
