It is narrated on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he met Hazrat Abi Basrah Ghifari (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked, "Where are you coming from?" He replied that he was coming from Mount Tur. Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "If I had met you before your departure, you would never have undertaken that journey, because I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'Mounts should not be saddled except for visiting three mosques: Masjid al-Haram, my mosque, and Masjid al-Aqsa.'"

Yazid bin Abi Habib says that once Hazrat Abu Basrah (may Allah be pleased with him) set out from Alexandria during the month of Ramadan. On the way, food was presented to him. Someone said to him, "Now the city is not far from here." He replied, "Are you turning away from the Sunnah of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" The narrator says that then, until we reached such-and-such place, we continued to break the fast.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Basrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that once, in the morning, the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "Allah has added a prayer for you which is better for you than red camels."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Witr prayer, which can be offered at any time between the Isha prayer and the rising of the sun."
