The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Shall I not tell you of a place even closer, with more abundant spoils and a quicker return? Whoever performs ablution and sets out towards the mosque for the Duha prayer, he attains a place even closer, with more abundant spoils and a quicker return than that.'"

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Then make your soul incumbent upon yourself."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the service of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! What is the deed of Paradise?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Speaking the truth. When a servant speaks the truth, he does good deeds, and when he does good deeds, he attains faith, and when he attains faith, he will enter Paradise." Then he asked, "O Messenger of Allah!

Abdullah bin Dailami (may Allah have mercy on him) says that once I reached Syedna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was in his garden called "Wahat" in Taif, and he was bending a young man of the Quraysh by placing his hand on the young man's waist. This young man was being punished for drinking alcohol. I said to him that I have heard this hadith attributed to you: that whoever drinks a sip of alcohol, Allah does not accept his repentance for forty days? And that the truly wretched one is he who is wretched from his mother's womb, and that whoever visits Bayt al-Maqdis with the sole purpose of praying there, he will be cleansed of sins as if he was born from his mother's womb. Upon hearing the mention of alcohol, the young man freed his hand and left, and Syedna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I do not permit anyone to attribute to me something I have not said. I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever drinks a sip of alcohol, his prayer is not accepted for forty days. If he repents, Allah accepts his repentance. If he drinks again, then again his prayer is not accepted for forty days. If he repents, Allah accepts his repentance. The third or fourth time, he said: If he drinks again, it is Allah's right to make him drink the pus of the people of Hell on the Day of Resurrection. And I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah created His creation in darkness, then on that day He cast His light upon them. Whoever received that light was guided, and whoever did not receive that light went astray. That is why I say that the pens have dried after writing according to Allah's knowledge. And I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Syedna Sulaiman (peace be upon him) made three supplications to Allah, of which Allah accepted two, and we hope that the third will also be for him. He asked Allah for the ability to make correct judgments, and Allah granted it to him. He asked Allah for a kingdom that would not be given to anyone after him, and Allah granted it to him. He asked Allah that whoever leaves his house with the intention of praying in Masjid al-Aqsa, after praying there, he should return as free from sins as the day his mother gave birth to him. We hope that Allah has also granted him this.

Someone asked Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him): Which city will be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? Sayyiduna Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) called for a box which had rings around it. He took out a book from it and said: Once we were sitting with the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) and writing, when the same question was asked to the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him): Which city will be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? The Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The city of Heraclius, that is, Constantinople, will be conquered first."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Whoever among the Muslims dies on the day of Jumu'ah or the night of Jumu'ah, Allah saves him from the trial of the grave."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that it is not lawful for anyone to marry a woman for the reason that another woman has been divorced. It is not lawful for a person to sell over the sale of his companion until he leaves it. And for three people who are in a foreign land (wilderness), it is necessary that they appoint one of them as a leader over themselves. And for three people who are in a wilderness, it is not lawful for two of them to whisper to each other leaving their third companion.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr, may Allah be pleased with him, that he heard the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: A righteous Muslim, due to his good character, nobility, and kindness, reaches the rank of those who fast during the day and stand in prayer at night.

And on another day, we were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the sun was rising. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, some people from my Ummah will come in such a way that their light will be like the light of the sun." We asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who will those people be?" He said: "The poor emigrants, through whom undesirable matters are avoided. These people would die with their needs in their own chests. They will be gathered from every corner of the earth."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The reason is that when a person dies anywhere other than his homeland, then for him, from his homeland to the farthest point of his footsteps, a place in Paradise will be granted."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that during the blessed era of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), a woman committed theft. The people from whom the theft had occurred caught the woman and brought her to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah! This woman has stolen from us." The people of that woman's tribe said, "We are ready to pay her ransom." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Cut off her hand." They said, "We are ready to give fifty dinars as her ransom." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) again said, "Cut off her hand." Thus, her right hand was cut off. Later, the woman said, "O Messenger of Allah! Can my repentance be accepted?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "You are now so purified from your sins that it is as if your mother has given birth to you today." On this occasion, Allah Almighty revealed this verse of Surah Al-Ma'idah: Whoever repents after his wrongdoing and reforms, Allah will accept his repentance.
