It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever revives barren, deserted land, he will receive its reward, and for every animal that eats from it, he will receive the reward of charity for all of them."
Hadith 14272
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُلَيَّةَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ الدَّسْتُوَائِيُّ ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي عَلَى رَاحِلَتِهِ نَحْوَ الْمَشْرِقِ ، فَإِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يُصَلِّيَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ ، نَزَلَ فَاسْتَقْبَلَ الْقِبْلَةَ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would offer voluntary prayers on his mount, even facing towards the east, but when he intended to offer obligatory prayers, he would dismount and pray facing the Qiblah.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : أَبُو مَذْكُورٍ أَعْتَقَ غُلَامًا لَهُ ، يُقَالُ لَهُ : يَعْقُوبُ ، عَنْ دُبُرٍ ، لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ مَالٌ غَيْرُهُ ، فَدَعَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ ، مَنْ يَشْتَرِيهِ ؟ " فَاشْتَرَاهُ نُعَيْمُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ النَّحَّامُ بِثَمَانِ مِائَةِ دِرْهَمٍ ، فَدَفَعَهَا إِلَيْهِ ، وَقَالَ : " إِذَا كَانَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَقِيرًا ، فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا ، فَعَلَى عِيَالِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا فَعَلَى ذَوِي قَرَابَتِهِ ، أَوْ قَالَ : عَلَى ذِي رَحِمِهِ ، وَإِنْ كَانَ فَضْلًا ، فَهَهُنَا وَهَهُنَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that in the blessed era of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), an Ansari man whose name was "Madhkoor" freed his slave—whose name was Yaqub—saying, "After my death, you are free," and he had no other wealth except him. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of his destitute condition, he said, "Who will buy this slave from me?" Na’eem bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) bought him for eight hundred dirhams. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) gave that money to the man and said: "When any of you is in difficulty, he should begin charity with himself; if anything remains, then on his children, then on his close relatives, and then spend on those to his right and left."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: The example of the five obligatory prayers is like that of a river flowing at the door of one of you, and he bathes in it five times a day.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you travel through a lush and green area, allow your mounts to benefit from its greenery and do not go beyond the stopping place. And when you happen to travel through dry land, then pass through it quickly, and in such a case, prefer to travel at night, because at night it feels as if the earth is being folded up. And if you lose your way, then call the Adhan. Also, avoid praying or camping in the middle of the road, because those are the habitats of snakes and wild beasts, and do not relieve yourselves there, for that is a cause of curse."
Hadith 14278
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، عَنْ جَعْفَرٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَضَى بِالْيَمِينِ مَعَ الشَّاهِدِ ، قَالَ جَعْفَرٌ ، قَالَ أَبِي : وَقَضَى بِهِ عَلِيٌّ بِالْعِرَاقِ ، قَالَ أَبُو عَبْد الرَّحْمَنِ : كَانَ أَبِي قَدْ ضَرَبَ عَلَى هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ ، قَالَ : وَلَمْ يُوَافِقْ أَحَدٌ الثَّقَفِيَّ عَلَى جَابِرٍ ، فَلَمْ أَزَلْ بِهِ حَتَّى قَرَأَهُ عَلَيَّ وَكَتَبَ عَلَيْهِ صَحَّ .

Hadith 14279
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَبِيبٌ يَعْنِي الْمُعَلِّمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ ، قال : حَدَّثَنِي جَابِرٌ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَهَلَّ هو وَأَصْحَابُهُ بِالْحَجِّ ، وَلَيْسَ مَعَ أَحَدٍ مِنْهُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ هَدْيٌ إِلَّا النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَطَلْحَةَ ، وَكَانَ عَلِيٌّ قَدِمَ مِنَ الْيَمَنِ وَمَعَهُ الْهَدْيُ ، فَقَالَ : أَهْلَلْتُ بِمَا أَهَلَّ بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَإِنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ " أَمَرَ أَصْحَابَهُ أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهَا عُمْرَةً وَيَطُوفُوا ثُمَّ يُقَصِّرُوا وَيَحِلُّوا ، إِلَّا مَنْ كَانَ مَعَهُ الْهَدْيُ " ، فَقَالُوا : نَنْطَلِقُ إِلَى مِنًى وَذَكَرُ أَحَدِنَا يَقْطُرُ ! فَبَلَغَ ذَلك النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " لَوْ أَنِّي أَسْتَقْبِلتُ مِنْ أَمْرِي مَا اسْتُدْبِرَتُ ، مَا أَهْدَيْتُ ، وَلَوْلَا أَنَّ مَعِي الْهَدْيَ ، لَأَحْلَلْتُ " ، وَأَنَّ عَائِشَةَ حَاضَتْ ، فَنَسَكَتْ الْمَنَاسِكَ كُلَّهَا غَيْرَ ، أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَطُفْ بِالْبَيْتِ ، فَلَمَّا طَهُرَتْ طَافَتْ ، قَالَتْ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، أَتَنْطَلِقُونَ بِحَجٍّ وَعُمْرَةٍ ، وَأَنْطَلِقُ بِالْحَجِّ ؟ ! فَأَمَرَ عَبْدَ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مَعَهَا إِلَى التَّنْعِيمِ ، فَاعْتَمَرَتْ بَعْدَ الْحَجِّ فِي ذِي الْحِجَّةِ ، وَأَنَّ سُرَاقَةَ بْنَ مَالِكِ بْنِ جُعْشُمٍ لَقِيَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْعَقَبَةِ وَهُوَ يَرْمِيهَا ، فَقَالَ : أَلَكُمْ هَذِهِ خَاصَّةً يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ : " لَا ، بَلْ لِلْأَبَدِ " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and his companions entered into the state of Ihram for Hajj. On that day, except for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and Sayyiduna Talha (may Allah be pleased with him), no one had a sacrificial animal with them. However, Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) came from Yemen, and he also had a sacrificial animal, and he said that he had entered into Ihram with the same intention as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed his companions to consider their Ihram as that of Umrah, perform Tawaf and Sa’i, then cut their hair and become halal (exit Ihram), except for those who had a sacrificial animal with them—they should not do so. Upon this, people began to say among themselves that this means when we proceed towards Mina, drops of impurity will be dripping from our private parts. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) learned of this, he said: “If I had known beforehand what I came to know later, I would not have brought the sacrificial animal with me, and if I did not have the sacrificial animal with me, I would have become halal (exited Ihram) as well.”
Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) was in a state of compulsion during this time, so she performed all the rites of Hajj except Tawaf, and when she became free (from her excuse), she performed Tawaf. She said, “O Messenger of Allah! You all are departing with both Hajj and Umrah, and I only with Hajj?” The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) instructed her brother Abdur Rahman to take her to Tan’eem, so Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) performed Umrah in the month of Dhul-Hijjah after Hajj.
And Suraqah bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) at the time of stoning at Jamrat al-‘Aqabah and said, “O Messenger of Allah! Is this command specific to you?” He replied: “This command is forever.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said a few days or a month before his passing: "Today, whoever is alive, a hundred years will not pass before he is no longer alive."

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ التَّيْمِيِّ ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُومُ فِي أَصْلِ شَجَرَةٍ ، أَوْ قَالَ إِلَى جِذْعٍ ثُمَّ اتَّخَذَ مِنْبَرًا ، قَالَ : فَحَنَّ الْجِذْعُ ، قَالَ جَابِرٌ : حَتَّى سَمِعَهُ أَهْلُ الْمَسْجِدِ ، حَتَّى أَتَاهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَمَسَحَهُ ، فَسَكَنَ ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ : لَوْ لَمْ يَأْتِهِ ، لَحَنَّ أَبَدًا إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to deliver sermons leaning against the root or trunk of a tree. When the pulpit was made, that piece of wood began to weep in such a manner that all the people present in the mosque heard its sound. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went to it and placed his blessed hand on it, and it became silent. Some narrators also say that if the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) had not gone to it, it would have continued to weep until the Day of Resurrection.
Hadith 14283
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ , عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ . ح وَيَزِيدُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ ، الْمَعْنَى ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَسَارٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : قَالَ يَزِيدُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " إِذَا سَمِعْتُمْ نُبَاحَ الْكِلَابِ ، وَنُهَاقَ الْحَمِيرِ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ ، فَتَعَوَّذُوا بِاللَّهِ ، فَإِنَّهَا تَرَى مَا لَا تَرَوْنَ ، وَأَقِلُّوا الْخُرُوجَ إِذَا هَدَأَتْ الرِّجْلُ ، فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَبُثُّ فِي لَيْلِهِ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ مَا شَاءَ ، وَأَجِيفُوا الْأَبْوَابَ وَاذْكُرُوا اسْمَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهَا ، فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَفْتَحُ بَابًا أُجِيفَ وَذُكِرَ اسْمُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِ ، وَأَوْكُِوا الْأَسْقِيَةَ ، وَغَطُّوا الْجِرَارَ ، وَأَكْفِئُوا الْآنِيَةَ " ، قَالَ يَزِيدُ : وَأَوْكُِوا القِِرَبَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you hear the barking of dogs or the braying of donkeys at night, seek refuge with Allah, for these animals see things which you do not see. When the night falls, go out of your houses less, for at night Allah spreads many of His creatures as He wills. When closing the doors, mention the name of Allah, for the door upon which Allah's name is mentioned while closing, Satan cannot open it. Tie the mouths of the water skins, cover the pots, and turn the vessels upside down."
Hadith 14284
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الْمُنْكَدِرِ ، قال : سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، يَقُولُ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَبَايَعَهُ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ ، فَوُعِكَ ، فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : أَقِلْنِي ، فَأَبَى ، ثُمَّ أَتَاهُ ، فَقَالَ : أَقِلْنِي ، فَأَبَى ، فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ ، فَقَالُوا : خَرَجَ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " إِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ كَالْكِيرِ تَنْفِي خَبَثَهَا ، وَينْْصَعُ طَيِّبَهَا " .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Bedouin came to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and pledged allegiance on his blessed hand. After a short while, he developed a very high fever. He came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "Please annul my pledge of allegiance." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) refused. This happened three times. The fourth time, he did not come. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) inquired, and the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) informed him that he had left Madinah. Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Madinah is like a furnace; it removes its impurities and makes the good things shine and become pure."
Hadith 14285
(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ ، حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، عَنْ مَحْمُودِ بْنِ لَبِيدٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " مَنْ مَاتَ لَهُ ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنَ الْوَلَدِ فَاحْتَسَبَهُمْ ، دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ " ، قَالَ : قُلْنَا : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، وَاثْنَانِ ؟ قَالَ : " وَاثْنَانِ " ، قَالَ مَحْمُودٌ : فَقُلْتُ لِجَابِرٍ أَرَاكُمْ لَوْ قُلْتُمْ : وَاحِدٌ ؟ لَقَالَ : َوَاحِدٌ ، قَالَ : وَأَنَا وَاللَّهِ أَظُنُّ ذَاكَ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: Whoever has three children die and he remains patient over them, he will enter Paradise. We asked: O Messenger of Allah! What if someone has two children die? He said: "The same applies." The narrator says that I said to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that I think if you people had asked about one, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) would have said that the same applies to one as well.

(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ ، عَنْ وَهْبِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ سَرِيَّةً ثَلَاثَ مِائَةٍ وَأَمَّرَ عَلَيْهِمْ أَبَا عُبَيْدَةَ بْنَ الْجَرَّاحِ ، فَنَفِدَ زَادُنَا ، فَجَمَعَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ زَادَهُمْ ، فَجَعَلَهُ فِي مِزْوَدٍ ، فَكَانَ يُقِيتُنَا حَتَّى كَانَ يُصِيبُنَا كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَمْرَةٌ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ، وَمَا كَانَتْ تُغْنِي عَنْكُمْ تَمْرَةٌ ؟ قَالَ : قَدْ وَجَدْنَا فَقْدَهَا حِينَ ذَهَبَتْ ، حَتَّى انْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى السَّاحِلِ ، فَإِذَا حُوتٌ مِثْلُ الظَّرِبِ الْعَظِيمِ ، قَالَ : فَأَكَلَ مِنْهُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ ثَمَانِ عَشْرَةَ لَيْلَةً ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ ضِلَعَيْنِ مِنْ أَضْلَاعِهِ فَنَصَبَهُمَا ، ثُمَّ أَمَرَ بِرَاحِلَِة فَرُحِلَتْ ، فَمَرَّتْ تَحْتَهُمَا فَلَمْ يُصِبْهَا شَيْءٌ .
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent a detachment consisting of three hundred men and appointed Sayyiduna Abu Ubaid bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) as their commander. On the way, our provisions ran out. Sayyiduna Abu Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered all the people's food in one container and kept giving us from it to eat. We would get only one date per day. A man asked Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him): O Abu Abdullah! What could you do with one date? He replied: We only realized this when even that one date stopped coming. During this time, we came across a very large fish, like a big mound, which the sea had thrown out. The army ate from it for eighteen days. Then Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) took two of the fish's ribs and set them up, then passed a mount underneath them, and even then it did not touch the rib.

Yahya bin Abi Kathir says that I asked Abu Salamah, "Which part of the Qur'an was revealed first?" He mentioned Surah Al-Muddathir. I said, "Wasn't Surah Iqra' revealed first?" He replied, "I asked the same question to Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him), and he gave the same answer. I also asked this question, and he said, 'I am telling you what the Prophet (peace be upon him) himself told us.' The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'I remained a neighbor in the cave of Hira for a month. When I completed the month and came down from the mountain and reached the bottom of the valley, someone called out to me. I looked ahead, behind, to my right and left, but I saw no one. After a short while, the voice came again. I looked all around again but saw no one. The third time the voice came, I raised my head and saw Jibril (peace be upon him) in the air on his throne. Seeing this, I was overtaken by a severe trembling, and I went to Khadijah and said, "Cover me with a thick blanket." So she covered me with a blanket and poured water over me. At that moment, Allah revealed this verse «يا ايها المدثر قم فانذر» to the end.'"

Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Are you accusing me of stinginess? What disease can be worse than stinginess? When you first requested from me, I had already intended at that very moment to give you."

On one occasion, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed the 'Isha prayer. Sayyiduna Mu'adh prayed with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and then went to his people and began reciting Surah Al-Baqarah. One man, seeing this, performed his own prayer and left. Later, someone said to him, "You have become a hypocrite." He replied, "I am not a hypocrite." Then he went and mentioned this matter to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Mu'adh prays with you, then comes back and leads us in prayer. We are people who work in the fields and labor with our own hands. He came and led us in prayer and started with Surah Al-Baqarah." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him twice, "Mu'adh, do you want to put people to trial? Why do you not recite Surah Al-A'la and Surah Ash-Shams?"

He replied in the affirmative.
