حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بنُ عَاصِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبدُ اللَّهِ بنُ عُثْمَانَ بنِ خُثَيْمٍ ، عَنْ عُثْمَانَ بنِ جُبيْرٍ ، عَنْ أَبي أَيُّوب الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : عِظْنِي وَأَوْجِزْ ، فَقَالَ : " إِذَا قُمْتَ فِي صَلَاتِكَ فَصَلِّ صَلَاةَ مُوَدِّعٍ ، وَلَا تَكَلَّمْ بكَلَامٍ تَعْتَذِرُ مِنْهُ غَدًا ، وَاجْمَعْ الْإِيَاسَ مِمَّا فِي يَدَيْ النَّاسِ " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the presence of the Prophet and said, "Give me some brief advice."

Do not utter anything from your mouth for which you would have to apologize tomorrow, and remove your hopes from what people possess."
Hadith 23499
حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبدُ اللَّهِ بنُ لَهِيعَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا حُيَيُّ بنُ عَبدِ اللَّهِ الْمَعَافِرِيُّ ، عَنْ أَبي عَبدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْحُبلِيِّ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا فِي الْبحْرِ وَعَلَيْنَا عَبدُ اللَّهِ بنُ قَيْسٍ الْفَزَارِيُّ ، وَمَعَنَا أَبو أَيُّوب الْأَنْصَارِيُّ ، فَمَرَّ بصَاحِب الْمَقَاسِمِ وَقَدْ أَقَامَ السَّبيَ ، فَإِذَا امْرَأَةٌ تَبكِي ، فَقَالَ : مَا شَأْنُ هَذِهِ ؟ قَالُوا : فَرَّقُوا بيْنَهَا وَبيْنَ وَلَدِهَا , قَالَ : فَأَخَذَ بيَدِ وَلَدِهَا حَتَّى وَضَعَهُ فِي يَدِهَا ، فَانْطَلَقَ صَاحِب الْمَقَاسِمِ إِلَى عَبدِ اللَّهِ بنِ قَيْسٍ ، فَأَخْبرَهُ ، فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَى أَبي أَيُّوب ، فَقَالَ : مَا حَمَلَكَ عَلَى مَا صَنَعْتَ ؟ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " مَنْ فَرَّقَ بيْنَ وَالِدَةٍ وَوَلَدِهَا ، فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ بيْنَهُ وَبيْنَ الْأَحِبةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ " .
Abu Abdur Rahman Hubli (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once we were traveling by sea, and our leader was Abdullah bin Qais Khazari. With us was Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him). Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) passed by the distributor, who had made the captives stand on one side, among whom was a woman who was crying. Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "What is the matter with this woman?" People informed him that she had been separated from her son. Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) took the hand of her son and placed it in the woman's hand. Seeing this, the distributor went to Abdullah bin Qais Fuzari and informed him of the matter. Abdullah sent a messenger to Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) to ask why he had done this. He replied, "I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever separates a mother from her child, Allah will separate him from his loved ones on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon cities will be conquered for you and your armies will be assembled, but some among you will not be willing to go with the army without wages. Indeed, it will happen that a man will leave his people and run away, and present himself before other tribes, saying: Is there anyone who will pay me such-and-such amount so that I may join the battlefield on his behalf? Remember! Such a person will remain a laborer until the last drop of his blood.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) and said: "Your Lord has given me the choice of two things: either seventy thousand people will enter Paradise without any reckoning, with complete forgiveness, or I may reserve my right concerning my Ummah." One of the companions (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Can anything be reserved with Allah?" Upon this, the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went inside. After a short while, he came out saying "Allahu Akbar" and said: "My Lord has promised seventy thousand with every thousand, and with Him my right is also reserved." The narrator of the hadith, Abu Ruhm, asked Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), "O Abu Ayyub, in your opinion, what is that reserved right of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Hearing this, people looked at him with devouring eyes and said, "What concern do you have with the reserved right of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "O leave it, I will tell you according to my estimation, rather with certainty, that the reserved right of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) is this: O Lord! Whoever bears witness that there is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and that Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) is His servant and Messenger, and his heart confirms what his tongue says, then grant him entry into Paradise."

The lot came out in favor of Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him), and he took the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to his house. It was the practice of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whenever something was sent as a gift, he would send a portion of it to Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) as well. One day, Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came home and saw a bowl in which there were onions. He asked, "What is this?" The family members replied, "The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent this." He went to the service of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You did not even touch this bowl?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "I saw onions in it." He asked, "Are onions not lawful for us?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why not, you may eat them. However, those come to me who do not come to you (Jibreel Amin and other angels, peace be upon them)."

Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) once said in Egypt, "By Allah, I do not understand how to use the toilets here, because the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that when any of you goes to relieve himself, he should neither face the Qiblah nor turn his back towards it."
Hadith 23515
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بنُ عِيسَى ، حَدَّثَنِي لَيْثٌ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بنُ قَيْسٍ قَاصُّ عُمَرَ بنِ عَبدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ أَبي صِرْمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبي أَيُّوب الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ حِينَ حَضَرَتْهُ الْوَفَاةُ : قَدْ كُنْتُ كَتَمْتُ عَنْكُمْ شَيْئًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ تُذْنِبونَ ، لَخَلَقَ اللَّهُ تَبارَكَ وَتَعَالَى قَوْمًا يُذْنِبونَ ، فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ " .
Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) said during his illness of death that I heard a hadith from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) which I have kept hidden from you until now, and it is this: If you do not commit sins, Allah will create people who will commit sins and Allah will forgive them.
Hadith 23516
حَدَّثَنَا أَبو جَعْفَرٍ الْمَدَائِنِيُّ ، أَخْبرَنَا عَبادُ بنُ الْعَوَّامِ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بنِ إِيَاسٍ ، عَنْ أَبي الْوَرْدِ ، عَنْ أَبي مُحَمَّدٍ الْحَضْرَمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبي أَيُّوب الْأَنْصَارِيِّ ، قَالَ : لَمَّا قَدِمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ نَزَلَ عَلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " يَا أَبا أَيُّوب ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ ؟ " ، قَالَ : قُلْتُ : بلَى ، يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " مَا مِنْ عَبدٍ يَقُولُ حِينَ يُصْبحُ : لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ ، إِلَّا كَتَب اللَّهُ لَهُ بهَا عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ ، وَمَحَا عَنْهُ عَشْرَ سَيِّئَاتٍ ، وَإِلَّا كُنَّ لَهُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ عَدْلَ عَشْرِ رِقَاب مُحَرَّرِينَ ، وَإِلَّا كَانَ فِي جُنَّةٍ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ ، وَلَا قَالَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي إِلَّا كَذَلِكَ " ، قَالَ : فَقُلْتُ لِأَبي مُحَمَّدٍ : أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهَا مِنْ أَبي أَيُّوب ؟ قَالَ : آللَّهِ لَسَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ أَبي أَيُّوب يُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ.
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, he graced my house with his presence and said to me, "O Abu Ayyub! Shall I not teach you something?" I submitted, "O Messenger of Allah! Certainly." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Whoever says these words in the morning: 'There is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner,' then Allah Almighty will write ten good deeds for him in exchange, forgive ten sins for him, or he will have the reward equal to freeing ten slaves, and until the evening these words will become a shield for him against Satan. And whoever says these words in the evening, the same ruling applies to him."
Hadith 23517
حَدَّثَنَا أَبو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى بنِي هَاشِمٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ثَابتٌ يَعْنِي أَبا زَيْدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ ، عَنْ عَبدِ اللَّهِ بنِ الْحَارِثِ ، عَنْ أَفْلَحَ مَوْلَى أَبي أَيُّوب ، عَنْ أَبي أَيُّوب أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ ، فَنَزَلَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَسْفَلَ ، وَأَبو أَيُّوب فِي الْعُلُوِّ ، فَانْتَبهَ أَبو أَيُّوب ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، فَقَالَ : نَمْشِي فَوْقَ رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ! فَتَحَوَّلَ فَباتُوا فِي جَانِب ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبحَ ذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " السُّفْلُ أَرْفَقُ بي " ، فَقَالَ أَبو أَيُّوب : لَا أَعْلُو سَقِيفَةً أَنْتَ تَحْتَهَا ، فَتَحَوَّلَ أَبو أَيُّوب فِي السُّفْلِ ، وَالنَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْعُلُوِّ ، فَكَانَ يَصْنَعُ طَعَامَ النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَبعَثُ إِلَيْهِ ، فَإِذَا رُدَّ إِلَيْهِ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَصَابعِ النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَيَتَّبعُ أَثَرَ أَصَابعِ النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَثَرِ أَصَابعِهِ ، فَصَنَعَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ طَعَامًا فِيهِ ثُومٌ ، فَأَرْسَلَ بهِ إِلَيْهِ ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْ مَوْضِعِ أَثَرِ أَصَابعِ النَّبيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقِيلَ : لَمْ يَأْكُلْ ، فَصَعِدَ إِلَيْهِ ، فَقَالَ : أَحَرَامٌ هُوَ ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " أَكْرَهُهُ " ، قَالَ : فَإِنِّي أَكْرَهُ مَا تَكْرَهُ ، أَوْ مَا كَرِهْتَهُ ، وَكَانَ النَّبيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُؤْتَى .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) arrived in Madinah Munawwarah, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) stayed at his place. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) resided on the lower floor, and Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) stayed on the upper floor. One night, he thought that we are walking above the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so he spent the whole night in a corner. In the morning, he mentioned this to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), so the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "The lower floor is more suitable for me." He said, "I will not climb on the roof under which you are." Thus, Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) went downstairs and the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went upstairs. It was the practice of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when something was sent as a gift, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also send some of it to Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). So one day, Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came home and saw a bowl in which there were onions. He asked, "What is this?" The family said, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent this." He went to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You did not even touch this bowl?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I saw onions in it." He asked, "Are onions not lawful for us?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why not, you may eat it. However, those come to me who do not come to you (Jibreel Amin and other angels (peace be upon them))."

And keep carrying me along, and as far as possible, keep taking me forward into the land of Rome." When Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) passed away, Yazid conveyed these things to the people. The people put on their weapons and set out carrying his funeral.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) that it was the practice of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that when something was given as a gift, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would also send some of it to Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him). So one day Hazrat Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) came home and saw a bowl in which there were onions. He asked, "What is this?" The family members said, "The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) has sent this." He went to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! You did not even touch this bowl?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "I saw onions in it." He asked, "Are onions not lawful for us?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Why not, you may eat it, but I do not like its smell." He said, "Then whatever you do not like, I also do not like."
