حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مِسْعَرٌ , عَنْ أَبِي الْعَنْبَس , عَنْ أَبِي الْعَدَبَّسِ , عَنْ أَبِي مَرْزُوقٍ , عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ مُتَوَكِّئٌ عَلَى عَصًا , فَقُمْنَا إِلَيْهِ , فَقَالَ : " لَا تَقُومُوا كَمَا تَقُومُ الْأَعَاجِمُ يُعَظِّمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا " , قَالَ : فَكَأَنَّا اشْتَهَيْنَا أَنْ يَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لَنَا , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا , وَارْحَمْنَا , وَارْضَ عَنَّا , وَتَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا , وَأَدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ , وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ , وَأَصْلِحْ لَنَا شَأْنَنَا كُلَّهُ " , فَكَأَنَّا اشْتَهَيْنَا أَنْ يَزِيدَنَا , فَقَالَ : " قَدْ جَمَعْتُ لَكُمْ الْأَمْرَ " . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us leaning on a staff, so we stood up out of respect. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not stand up as the non-Arabs do, who show such reverence to one another. We wished that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate for us. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: O Allah! Forgive us, have mercy on us, be pleased with us, accept our good deeds, admit us into Paradise, grant us salvation from Hell, and set right all our affairs. We wished that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate further, but the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In this supplication, I have included everything for you.

Hadith 22183
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ , أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا غَالِبٍ , يَقُولُ : لَمَّا أُتِيَ بِرُءُوسِ الْأزَارِقَةِ , فَنُصِبَتْ عَلَى دَرَجِ دِمَشْقَ , جَاءَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ , فَلَمَّا رَآهُمْ , دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاهُ , فَقَالَ : " كِلَابُ النَّارِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ هَؤُلَاءِ شَرُّ قَتْلَى قُتِلُوا تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ , وَخَيْرُ قَتْلَى قُتِلُوا تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ الَّذِينَ قَتَلَهُمْ هَؤُلَاءِ " , قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ : فَمَا شَأْنُكَ دَمَعَتْ عَيْنَاكَ ؟ قَالَ : رَحْمَةً لَهُمْ , إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْإِسْلَامِ , قَالَ : قُلْنَا : أَبِرَأْيِكَ , قُلْتَ : هَؤُلَاءِ كِلَابُ النَّارِ , أَوْ شَيْءٌ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : إِنِّي لَجَرِيءٌ , بَلْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ , وَلَا ثِنْتَيْنِ , وَلَا ثَلَاثٍ , قَالَ : فَعَدَّ مِرَارًا .
Abu Ghalib says that some heads of the Khawarij were brought from Iraq and hung at the gate of the mosque of Damascus. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and began to weep and said three times, "They are the dogs of Hell," and three times, "The worst of those killed under the shade of the sky," and, "The best of those killed under the shade of the sky was the one whom they martyred." After a little while, when he returned, someone asked, "Then why were you weeping?" He replied, "I felt pity for them." O Abu Umamah! This statement of yours, 'the dogs of Hell,' did you hear it from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) or are you saying it from your own opinion?" He replied, "Subhan Allah! If I have heard something from the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) up to seven times and then omit the mention of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) in between, then I would be very bold indeed."
Hadith 22184
حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ , أَخْبَرَنَا حَرِيزُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ , حَدَّثَنِي سُلَيْمُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ , عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : " مَا كَانَ يَفْضُلُ عَلَى أَهْلِ بَيْتِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ خُبْزُ الشَّعِيرِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that even barley bread would not remain with the family of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
Hadith 22185
حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ الضُّبَعِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَأَنْ أَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى مِنْ طُلُوعِ الشَّمْسِ : أُكَبِّرُ , وَأُهَلِّلُ , وَأُسَبِّحُ , أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ أَرْبَعًا مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ , وَلَأَنْ أَذْكُرَ اللَّهَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ إِلَى أَنْ تَغِيبَ الشَّمْسُ , أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ كَذَا وَكَذَا مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In my view, remembering Allah at the time of sunrise—saying Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, and Subhan Allah—is better than freeing four slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him). Similarly, remembering Allah from the Asr prayer until sunset is, in my view, better than freeing so many slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him).
Hadith 22186
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سَوَّارٍ , حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ , عَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ صَالِحٍ , أَنَّ أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ حَدَّثَهُ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " تَدْنُو الشَّمْسُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى قَدْرِ مِيلٍ , وَيُزَادُ فِي حَرِّهَا كَذَا وَكَذَا , يَغْلِي مِنْهَا الْهَوَامُّ كَمَا تغْلِي الْقُدُورُ , يَعْرَقُونَ فِيهَا عَلَى قَدْرِ خَطَايَاهُمْ , مِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى كَعْبَيْهِ , وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى سَاقَيْهِ , وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يَبْلُغُ إِلَى وَسَطِهِ , وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ يُلْجِمُهُ الْعَرَقُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come as close as the distance of one mile, and its heat will increase so much that brains will boil like pots, and all people will be submerged in sweat according to their sins. Thus, some will have sweat up to their ankles, some up to their shins, some up to the middle of their bodies, and some will have a bridle of sweat in their mouths.
Hadith 22187
حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ , أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ , أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ , عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ زَحْرٍ , عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ يَزِيدَ , عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : لَمَّا وُضِعَتْ أُمُّ كُلْثُومٍ ابْنَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْقَبْرِ , قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " مِنْهَا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ وَفِيهَا نُعِيدُكُمْ وَمِنْهَا نُخْرِجُكُمْ تَارَةً أُخْرَى سورة طه آية 55 " , قَالَ : ثُمَّ لَا أَدْرِي أَقَالَ : بِسْمِ اللَّهِ , وَفِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ , وَعَلَى مِلَّةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ أَمْ لَا ؟ فَلَمَّا بَنَى عَلَيْهَا لَحْدَهَا , طَفِقَ يَطْرَحُ لَهُمْ الْجَبُوبَ , وَيَقُولُ : " سُدُّوا خِلَالَ اللَّبِنِ " , ثُمَّ قَالَ : " أَمَا إِنَّ هَذَا لَيْسَ بِشَيْءٍ , وَلَكِنَّهُ يَطِيبُ بِنَفْسِ الْحَيِّ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the daughter of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), Hazrat Umm Kulthum (may Allah be pleased with her), was being lowered into the grave, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: "We created you from this earth, and into it We shall return you, and from it We shall bring you forth once again." Now, I do not remember whether the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said "In the name of Allah, and in the way of Allah, and upon the religion of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)" or not. Then, when the niche (lahd) was made, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) threw twigs towards her and said, "Fill the empty spaces between the bricks with this." Then he said, "This does not affect anything, but the living are comforted by it."
Hadith 22188
حَدَّثَنَا نُوحُ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ , قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : هُوَ أَبُو مُحَمَّدِ بْنُ نُوحٍ وَهُوَ الْمَضْرُوبُ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خُرَيْمٍ عُقْبَةُ بْنُ أَبِي الصَّهْبَاءِ , حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو غَالِبٍ الرَّاسِبِيُّ , أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ بِحِمْصَ , فَسَأَلَهُ عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ حَدَّثَهُمْ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ : " مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ مُسْلِمٍ يَسْمَعُ أَذَانَ صَلَاةٍ , فَقَامَ إِلَى وَضُوئِهِ , إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ بِأَوَّلِ قَطْرَةٍ تُصِيبُ كَفَّهُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْمَاءِ , فَبِعَدَدِ ذَلِكَ الْقَطْرِ حَتَّى يَفْرُغَ مِنْ وُضُوئِهِ , إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا سَلَفَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِهِ , وَقَامَ إِلَى صَلَاتِهِ وَهِيَ نَافِلَةٌ " , قَالَ أَبُو غَالِبٍ : قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ : آنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : إِي وَالَّذِي بَعَثَهُ بِالْحَقِّ بَشِيرًا وَنَذِيرًا , غَيْرَ مَرَّةٍ , وَلَا مَرَّتَيْنِ , وَلَا ثَلَاثٍ , وَلَا أَرْبَعٍ , وَلَا خَمْسٍ , وَلَا سِتٍّ , وَلَا سَبْعٍ , وَلَا ثَمَانٍ , وَلَا تِسْعٍ , وَلَا عَشْرٍ , وَعَشْرٍ وَصَفَّقَ بِيَدَيْهِ.
Abu Ghalib Rasbi says that in the city of Homs, he met Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), so he asked some questions to Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him). During this, Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated this hadith that he heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "When a Muslim servant hears the call to prayer (adhan) and stands up to perform ablution (wudu), then as soon as the first drop of water falls from his hands, his sins begin to be forgiven, and according to the number of those drops of water, when he completes his ablution, all his past sins are forgiven. And when he stands for prayer, it becomes a means for the elevation of his ranks." And Ghalib asked Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), "Did you really hear this hadith from the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He replied, "Yes! By the One who sent the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) as a bearer of glad tidings and a warner with the truth, not once or twice, but dozens of times I have heard it," and he counted all the numbers by clapping both his hands.
Hadith 22189

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man praying alone, so he said: "Is there anyone who will give charity to him, that is, join him in prayer?" Upon hearing this, a man stood up and began to pray with him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These two have become a congregation."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: My Lord offered me that He would turn the plain of Makkah into gold for me, but I submitted: O Lord! No, I wish that I remain hungry one day and satisfied the other day, so that when I am hungry, I may humble myself and supplicate to You and remember You, and when I am satisfied, I may praise and thank You.

حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ , حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ , عَنْ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي سَلَّامٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ , فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي شَفِيعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِصَاحِبِهِ , اقْرَءُوا الزَّهْرَاوَيْنِ الْبَقَرَةَ وَآلَ عِمْرَانَ , فَإِنَّهُمَا يَأْتِيَانِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَيَايَتَانِ , أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ , أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍ صَوَافَّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ أَصْحَابِهِمَا , اقْرَءُوا سُورَةَ الْبَقَرَةِ , فَإِنَّ أَخْذَهَا بَرَكَةٌ , وَتَرْكَهَا حَسْرَةٌ , وَلَا تَسْتَطِيعُهَا الْبَطَلَةُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Recite the Noble Qur’an, for it will intercede for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection. Recite the two radiant surahs, that is, Surah Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, for these two surahs will come on the Day of Resurrection in the form of canopies or in the form of two flocks of birds in ranks, and they will defend their reciters. Then he said: Recite Surah Al-Baqarah, for acquiring it is a blessing and abandoning it is a cause of regret, and falsehood (magicians) cannot withstand it.
Hadith 22194
حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ زَيْدٍ , عَنْ أَبِي طَالِبٍ الضُّبَعِيِّ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " لَأَنْ أَقْعُدَ أَذْكُرُ اللَّهَ , وَأُكَبِّرُهُ , وَأَحْمَدُهُ , وَأُسَبِّحُهُ وَأُهَلِّلُهُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ , أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ رَقَبَتَيْنِ أَوْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ , وَمِنْ بَعْدِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ , أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ أَعْتِقَ أَرْبَعَ رِقَابٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَاعِيل " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In my view, remembering Allah at the time of sunrise—saying Allahu Akbar, La ilaha illallah, and Subhan Allah—is better than freeing four slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him). Similarly, remembering Allah from the Asr prayer until sunset is, in my view, better than freeing so many slaves from among the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him).
Hadith 22195
حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مَهْدِيُّ بْنُ مَيْمُونٍ , حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي يَعْقُوبَ الضَّبِّيُّ , عَنْ رَجَاءِ بْنِ حَيْوَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوًا فَأَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ " , قَالَ : فَغَزَوْنَا , فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا , قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوًا ثَانِيًا , فَأَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , ادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , قَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ " , قَالَ : فَغَزَوْنَا , فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا , قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَنْشَأَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ غَزْوًا ثَالِثًا , فَأَتَيْتُهُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , قَدْ أَتَيْتُكَ تَتْرَى مَرَّتَيْنِ , أَسْأَلُكَ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , فَقُلْتَ : اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ , يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , فَادْعُ اللَّهَ لِي بِالشَّهَادَةِ , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ سَلِّمْهُمْ وَغَنِّمْهُمْ " , قَالَ : فَغَزَوْنَا , فَسَلِمْنَا وَغَنِمْنَا , ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , مُرْنِي بِعَمَلٍ آخُذُهُ عَنْكَ يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ , قَالَ : " عَلَيْكَ بِالصَّوْمِ , فَإِنَّهُ لَا مِثْلَ لَهُ " , قَالَ : فَكَانَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ , وَامْرَأَتُهُ , وَخَادِمُهُ , لَا يُلْفَوْنَ إِلَّا صِيَامًا فَإِذَا رَأَوْا نَارًا , أَوْ دُخَانًا بِالنَّهَارِ فِي مَنْزِلِهِمْ , عَرَفُوا أَنَّهُمْ اعْتَرَاهُمْ ضَيْفٌ , قَالَ : ثُمَّ أَتَيْتُهُ بَعْدُ , فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , إِنَّكَ قَدْ أَمَرْتَنِي بِأَمْرٍ , وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ نَفَعَنِي بِهِ , فَمُرْنِي بِأَمْرٍ آخَرَ يَنْفَعُنِي اللَّهُ بِهِ , قَالَ : " اعْلَمْ أَنَّكَ لَا تَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً , إِلَّا رَفَعَ اللَّهُ لَكَ بِهَا دَرَجَةً , أَوْ حَطَّ , أَوْ قَالَ : وَحَطَّ , شَكَّ مَهْدِيٌّ عَنْكَ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) organized an army (in which I was also present). I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Pray to Allah for martyrdom on my behalf." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed, "O Allah! Keep him safe and grant him spoils of war." Thus, we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. (When the army was organized again, I made the same request and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made the same prayer.) The third time when the army was organized, I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! I have already come to you twice before, and I requested you to pray to Allah for martyrdom on my behalf, but you prayed for safety and spoils of war, and we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. Therefore, O Messenger of Allah! Now pray for martyrdom for me." But the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again prayed for safety and spoils of war, and we returned safe and sound with the spoils of war. After that, I came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Command me to do some deed." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Make fasting obligatory upon yourself, for you will meet (Allah) in the state of fasting." And if during the day smoke was seen rising from their house, people would understand that today a guest has come to them. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I continued to act upon this for a long time, as long as Allah willed. Then I came to the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You had commanded me to fast. I hope that Allah has granted us its blessings. Now tell me another deed." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Be certain that if you perform one prostration for Allah, Allah will, by its blessing, raise your rank by one degree and forgive one sin."
Hadith 22196
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ , أَخْبَرَنَا سَلِيمُ بْنُ حَيَّانَ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو غَالِبٍ , قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا أُمَامَةَ , يَقُولُ : " إِذَا وَضَعْتَ الطَّهُورَ مَوَاضِعَهُ , قَعَدْتَ مَغْفُورًا لَكَ , فَإِنْ قَامَ يُصَلِّي , كَانَتْ لَهُ فَضِيلَةً وَأَجْرًا , وَإِنْ قَعَدَ , قَعَدَ مَغْفُورًا لَهُ " , فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ , أَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ قَامَ فَصَلَّى تَكُونُ لَهُ نَافِلَةً ؟ قَالَ : " لَا , إِنَّمَا النَّافِلَةُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , كَيْفَ تَكُونُ لَهُ نَافِلَةً , وَهُوَ يَسْعَى فِي الذُّنُوبِ وَالْخَطَايَا ؟ ! تَكُونُ لَهُ فَضِيلَةً وَأَجْرًا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when you perform ablution properly, then when you sit down, all your sins will have been forgiven. If after that a person stands up and starts offering prayer, then it becomes a virtue and a source of reward for him. If he sits, he sits having been forgiven. A man asked him, "O Abu Umamah! Tell me, if he stands up and starts offering prayer, will it be considered nafl (supererogatory) for him?" He replied, "No, being nafl was a special characteristic of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); how can it be for an ordinary person while he is running about in sins and mistakes? For him, it is a source of reward."
Hadith 22197
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ , أَخْبَرَنَا لَيْثُ بْنُ أَبِي سُلَيْمٍ , عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " إِنَّ أَغْبَطَ النَّاسِ عِنْدِي , عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ خَفِيفُ الْحَاذِ ذُو حَظٍّ مِنْ صَلَاةٍ , أَطَاعَ رَبَّهُ وَأَحْسَنَ عِبَادَتَهُ فِي السِّرِّ , وَكَانَ غَامِضًا فِي النَّاسِ لَا يُشَارُ إِلَيْهِ بِالْأَصَابِعِ , وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا " , قَالَ : وَجَعَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَنْقُرُ بِأُصْبُعَيْهِ وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا , وَكَانَ عَيْشُهُ كَفَافًا , عُجِّلَتْ مَنِيَّتُهُ , وَقَلَّتْ بَوَاكِيهِ , وَقَلَّ تُرَاثُهُ " , قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : سَأَلْتُ أَبِي , قُلْتُ : مَا تُرَاثُهُ ؟ قَالَ : مِيرَاثُهُ . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The most enviable person in my view is that believing servant who has little worldly possessions, who devotes much of his time to prayer, who obeys his Lord and worships Him excellently in secret, who remains hidden from the eyes of people, towards whom fingers are not pointed, whose sustenance is just sufficient for his needs. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated this phrase and began snapping his fingers, then said: His death comes quickly, his inheritance is little, and there are few to weep over him.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "What is faith?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "When you feel sorrow over your evil deed and happiness over your good deed, then you are a believer." He asked, "What is sin?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "When something pricks your heart, then leave it."
Hadith 22200
حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , عَنْ ثَوْرٍ , عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رُفِعَتْ الْمَائِدَةُ , قَالَ : " الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ كَثِيرًا طَيِّبًا مُبَارَكًا فِيهِ , غَيْرَ مَكْفِيٍّ , وَلَا مُوَدَّعٍ , وَلَا مُسْتَغْنًى عَنْهُ رَبَّنَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) finished eating or the dining cloth was removed, he would recite this supplication: "All praise is due to Allah, abundant, pure, and blessed praise; not insufficient, nor left, nor independent of Him, our Lord."

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ , عَنْ مِسْعَرٍ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْعَدَبَّسِ , عَنْ رَجُلٍ أَظُنُّهُ أَبَا خَلَفٍ , حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مَرْزُوقٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَاهُ قُمْنَا , قَالَ : " فَإِذَا رَأَيْتُمُونِي , فَلَا تَقُومُوا كَمَا يَفْعَلُ الْعَجَمُ , يُعَظِّمُ بَعْضُهَا بَعْضًا " , قَالَ : كَأَنَّا اشْتَهَيْنَا أَنْ يَدْعُوَ لَنَا , فَقَالَ : " اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَنَا , وَارْحَمْنَا , وَارْضَ عَنَّا , وَتَقَبَّلْ مِنَّا , وَأَدْخِلْنَا الْجَنَّةَ , وَنَجِّنَا مِنَ النَّارِ , وَأَصْلِحْ لَنَا شَأْنَنَا كُلَّهُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came out to us leaning on a staff, so we stood up out of respect. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not stand up as the non-Arabs do, who honor each other in this manner. We wished that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would supplicate for us, so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) made this supplication: O Allah! Forgive us, have mercy on us, be pleased with us, accept our good deeds, admit us into Paradise, grant us salvation from Hell, and set right all our affairs.

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again remained silent. Then he came again near the third Jamrah and repeated the same question. So the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That word of truth which is spoken before a tyrant ruler."

حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ , عَنْ أَبِي غَالِبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , أَنُهْ رَأَى رُءُوسًا مَنْصُوبَةً عَلَى دَرَجِ مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ , فَقَالَ أَبُو أُمَامَةَ : " كِلَابُ النَّارِ , كِلَابُ النَّارِ, ثَلَاثًا شَرُّ قَتْلَى تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ , خَيْرُ قَتْلَى مَنْ قَتَلُوهُ " , ثُمَّ قَرَأَ يَوْمَ تَبْيَضُّ وُجُوهٌ وَتَسْوَدُّ وُجُوهٌ سورة آل عمران آية 106 الْآيَتَيْنِ , قُلْتُ لِأَبِي أُمَامَةَ : أَسَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ؟ قَالَ : لَوْ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهُ إِلَّا مَرَّتَيْنِ , أَوْ ثَلَاثًا , أَوْ أَرْبَعًا , أَوْ خَمْسًا , أَوْ سِتًّا , أَوْ سَبْعًا مَا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ.
Abu Ghalib says that some heads of the Khawarij were brought from Iraq and hung at the gate of the mosque of Damascus. Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) came and began to weep, and said three times, "They are the dogs of Hell," and three times, "The worst of those killed under the shade of the sky," and "The best of those killed under the shade of the sky was the one whom they martyred." After a little while, when he returned, someone asked, "Then why were you weeping?" He replied, "I felt pity for them." O Abu Umamah! This statement of yours, 'the dogs of Hell,' did you hear it from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or are you saying it from your own opinion?" He replied, "Subhan Allah! If I have heard something from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) up to seven times, and then omit the mention of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in between, then I would be very bold indeed."
Hadith 22209
حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ , حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ التَّيْمِيُّ , عَنْ سَيَّارٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : " فُضِّلْتُ بِأَرْبَعٍ : جُعِلَتْ الْأَرْضُ لِأُمَّتِي مَسْجِدًا وَطَهُورًا , وَأُرْسِلْتُ إِلَى النَّاسِ كَافَّةً , وَنُصِرْتُ بِالرُّعْبِ مِنْ مَسِيرَةِ شَهْرٍ يَسِيرُ بَيْنَ يَدَيَّ , وَأُحِلَّتْ لِأُمَّتِي الْغَنَائِمُ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty has granted me four virtues over all the prophets (peace be upon them) or nations: I have been sent to all of humanity; the entire earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me and my ummah, so wherever the time of prayer comes upon a member of my ummah, that place is his mosque and there is soil for his purification; and I have been helped by awe (instilled) in the hearts of my enemies from a distance of one month's journey; and spoils of war have been made lawful for us.
Hadith 22210
حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ , حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ , عَنْ شِمْرِ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ , عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ , عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ , نَافِلَةً لَك سورة الإسراء آية 79 , قَالَ : " إِنَّمَا كَانَتْ النَّافِلَةُ خَاصَّةً لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " .

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a young man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! Grant me permission to commit adultery." The people turned towards him and began to scold him and tried to push him back, but the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Come near me." He came close and sat near the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked him, "Would you like adultery for your mother?" He replied, "By Allah! Never, may I be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "People also do not like it for their mothers." Then he asked, "Would you like adultery for your daughter?" He replied, "By Allah! Never, may I be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "People also do not like it for their daughters." Then he asked, "Would you like adultery for your sister?" He replied, "By Allah! Never, may I be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "People also do not like it for their sisters." Then he asked, "Would you like adultery for your paternal aunt?" He replied, "By Allah! Never, may I be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "People also do not like it for their paternal aunts." Then he asked, "Would you like adultery for your maternal aunt?" He replied, "By Allah! Never, may I be sacrificed for you." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "People also do not like it for their maternal aunts." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) placed his blessed hand on his body and prayed, "O Allah! Forgive his sins, purify his heart, and guard his private parts." The narrator says that after this, the young man never even turned his attention towards anyone.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Recite the Noble Qur’an, for it will intercede for its reciters on the Day of Resurrection. Recite the two radiant surahs, that is, Surah Al-Baqarah and Al-Imran, for these two surahs will come on the Day of Resurrection in the form of canopies or in the form of two flocks of birds in ranks, and they will defend their reciters. Then he said: Recite Surah Al-Baqarah, for acquiring it is a blessing and abandoning it is a cause of regret, and falsehood (magicians) cannot overcome it.

A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Is Mudar not a part of the tribe of Rabi'ah?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "I only say what I am commanded to say."
