Al-Bara' bin 'Azib (RA) reported: This verse was revealed (in this way): "Guard the prayers and the 'Asr prayer." We recited it (in this very way) so long as Allah desired. Allah, then, abrogated it and it was revealed: "Guard the prayers, and the middle prayer." A person who was sitting with Shaqiq (one of the narrators in the chain of transmitters) said: Now it implies the 'Asr prayer. Upon this al-Bara' said: I have already informed you how this (verse) was revealed and how Allah abrogated it, and Allah knows best. Imam Muslim said: Ashja'i narrated it from Sufyan al-Thauri, who narrated it from al-Aswad bin Qais, who narrated it from 'Uqba, who narrated it from al-Bara' bin 'Azib (RA) who said: We recited with the Prophet (ﷺ) (the above-mentioned verse like this, i.e. instead of Salat al- Wusta, Salat al-'Asr) for a certain period. As it has been mentioned (in the above-quoted hadith).

Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with both of them) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: We are an unlettered people who can neither write nor count. The month is thus, and thus folding his thumb when he said it the third time.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Aswad bin Qais with the same chain of transmitters, but herein no mention has been made of the other month (consisting of) thirty days.

It has been narrated on the authority of Jundub bin Sufyan who said: A finger of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was wounded in one of the encounters. He said: Thou art just a little finger which has bled, and what thou hast experienced is in the cause of Allah.

It has been narrated on the authority of Aswad bin Qais who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in a cave (or raid) when his finger was hurt.

It has been narrated on the authority of Aswad bin Qais who heard Jundub saying that Gabriel (ؑ) delayed his visit to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) The polytheists began to say that Muhammad has been forsaken. At this Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed: "Wa'dduha wa'l-laili iza saja, ma wadda'ka Rabbuka wa' ma qala" [By the glorious morning light, and by the night when it is still: thy Lord has not forsaken thee, nor is He displeased].

It has been narrated on the authority of Aswad bin Qais who said: I heard Jundub bin Sufyan say: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) fell ill and did not wake up for two or three nights (for prayers). A woman came to him and said: Muhammad, I hope that your satan has left you. I haven't seen him approach you for two or three nights. The narrator says: At this, Allah, the Glorious and Exalted, revealed: "By the Glorious......"

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Aswad bin Qais with the same chain of transmitters.

Jundab bin Sufyan reported: I was with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) on the day of 'Id al-Adha. While he had not returned after having offered (the Id prayer) and finished it, he saw the flesh of the sacrificial animals which had been slaughtered before he had completed the prayer. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: One who slaughtered his sacrificial animal before his prayer or our prayer ('Id), he should slaughter another one in its stead, and he who did not slaughter, he should slaughter by reciting the name of Allah.

Jundab bin Sufyan reported: I was with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (on the occasion) of 'Id al-Adha. After he had completed the prayer with people, he found that the goats had been slaughtered, whereupon he said: He who slaughtered sacrificial animal before the prayer should slaughter a goat (again) in its stead and he who has not slaughtered he should slaughter it by reciting the name of Allah.

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of al-Aswad bin Qais with the same chain of transmitters.

Jundab al-Bajali reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) observing ('Id) prayer on the Day of Sacrifice (10th of Dhu'l-Hijja) and then delivering a sermon and he said: He who sacrificed the (animal) before offering ('Id) prayer, he should offer again in its stead, and he who did not sacrifice the animal should slaughter it by reciting the name of Allah.
