Abu Qatadah (RA) reported it from his father: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: None of you should hold penis with his right hand while urinating, or wipe himself with his right hand in privy and should not breathe into the vessel (from which he drinks).

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported it from his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When anyone amongst you enters the privy he should not touch his penis with his right hand.

Aba Qatada reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade (us) to breathe into the vessel, to touch the penis with the right hand and to wipe after relieving with right hand.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) led us in prayer and recited in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers Surat al-Fatiha and two (other) surahs. And he would sometimes recite loud enough for us to hear the verses. He would prolong the first rak'ah more than the second. And he acted similarly in the morning prayer.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported it on the authority of his father: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) would recite in the first two rak'ahs of the noon and afternoon prayers the opening chapter of the Book and another surah. He would sometimes recite loud enough to make audible to us the verse and would recite in the last two rak'ahs Surat al-Fatiha (only).

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying the prayer while he was carrying Umama, daughter of Zainab, daughter of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . and Abu'l-'As bin al-Rabi'. When he stood up, he took her up and when he prostrated he put her down, Yahya said: Malik replied in the affirmative.

Abu Qatadah (RA) al-Ansari reported: I saw the Apostle (ﷺ) leading the people in prayer with Umama, daughter of Abu'l-'As and Zainab, daughter of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , on his shoulder. When he bowed, he put her down, and when he got up after prostration, he lifted her again.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported: I saw the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) leading the people in prayer with Umama daughter of Abu'l-'As on his neck; and when he prostrated he put her down.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported: As we were sitting in the mosque, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came to us, and the rest of the hadith is the same except that he made no mention that he led people in this prayer.

'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) reported on the authority of his father: While we said our prayer with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) he heard tumult. (At the end of the prayer) he (the Holy Prophet) said: What is the matter with you? They said: We hastened to prayer. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Don't do that; when you come for prayer, there should be tranquility upon you. Pray (along with the Imam) what you can find and complete what preceded you.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When when he hears the Iqamah is pronounced do not get up till you see me Ibn Hatim was in doubt whether it was said:" When when he hears the Iqamah is pronounced" or" When call is made".

This Arabic text is part of previous Hadeeth No.8666 but not taken with that and not transmitted.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported that when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was in a journey he got down for rest at night, and he used to lie down on his right side, and when he lay down for rest before the dawn, he used to stretch his forearm and place his head over his palm.

Abu Qatadah (RA) (a Companion of the Prophet) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When any one of you enters the mosque, he should observe two rak'ahs (of Nafl prayer) before sitting.

Abu Qatadah (RA)h (RA), a Companion of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , said: I entered the mosque, when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) had been sitting among people, and I also sat down among them. Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: What prevented you from offering two rak'ahs (of Nafl prayer) before sitting down? I said: Messenger of Allah, I saw you sitting and people sitting (around you and I, therefore, sat in your company). He (the Holy Prophet) then said: When anyone among you enters the mosque, he should not sit till he has observed two rak'ahs.

Qatada bin Rib'i reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Whenever a bier passed before him, he said: He is the one to find relief and the one with (the departure of him) other will find relief. They said: Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) , who is al-Mustarih and al-Mustarah? Upon this he said: The believing servant finds relief from the troubles of the world, and in the death of a wicked person, the people, towns, trees and animals find relief.

In the hadith transmitted by Yahya bin Sa'id on the authority of Qatada (the words are): (The believing servant) finds relief from the troubles of the world and its hardships and (gets into) the Mercy of Allah.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported that a person came to the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) and said: How do you observe fast? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt annoyed. When 'Umar (RA) noticed his annoyance, he said: We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our Code of Life, and with Muhammad as our Prophet. We seek refuge with Allah from the anger of Allah and that of His Messenger. 'Umar kept on repeating these words till his (the Prophet's) anger calmed down. Then Umar said: Messenger of Allah. what is the position of one who perpetually observes fasts? Thereupon he said: He neither fasted nor broke it, or he said: He did not fast and he did not break it. He said: What about him who observes fast for two days and breaks one day. Thereupon he said: Is anyone capable of doing it? He ('Umar) said: What is the position of him who observes fast for a day and breaks on the other day? Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: That is the fast of David (peace be upon him). He ('Umar) said: What about him who observes fast one day and breaks it for two days. Thereupon he (the Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) said: I wish, I were given strength to observe that. Thereafter he said: The observance of three days' fast every Month and that of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fasting. I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of 'Arafa may atone for the sins of the preceding and the coming years. and I seek from Allah that fasting on the day of Ashura may atone for the sins of the preceding year.

Abu Qatadah (RA) al-Ansari (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) felt annoyed. Thereupon 'Umar (RA) said: We are pleased with Allah as the Lord, with Islam as our Code of Life, with Muhammad as the Messenger and with our pledge (to you for willing and cheerful submission) as a (sacred) commitment. He was then asked about perpetual fasting, whereupon he said: He neither fasted nor did he break it, or he did not fast and he did not break it. He was then asked about fasting for two days and breaking one day. He (the Holy Prophet) said: And who has strength enough to do it? He was asked about fasting for a day and breaking for two days, whereupon he said: May Allah bestow upon us strength to do it. He was then asked about fasting for a day and breaking on the other, whereupon he said: That is the fasting of my brother David (peace be upon him). He was then asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It was the day on which I was born. on which I was commissioned with prophethood or revelation was sent to me, (and he further) said: Three days' fasting every month and of the whole of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fast. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Arafa (9th of Dhu'I-Hijja), whereupon he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was asked about fasting on the day of 'Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year. Imam Muslim said (that in this hadith) there is a narration of Imam Shu'bah that he was asked about fasting on Monday and Thursday, but we (Imam Muslim) did not mention Thursday for we found it as an error (in reporting).

Abu Qatadah (RA) Ansari (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon he said: It is (the day) when I was born and revelation was sent down to me.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported: We went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) till we reached al-Qaha (a place three stages away from Madinah). Some of us were in the state of Ihram and some of us were not. I saw my companions looking towards something, and as I saw I found it to be a wild ass. I saddled my horse and took up my spear and then mounted upon (the horse) and my whip fell down. I said to my companions as they were in the state of Ihram to pick up the whip for me but they said: By Allah, we cannot help you in any (such) thing (i. e. hunting). So i dismounted (the horse) and picked it (whip) up and mounted again and caught the wild ass after chasing it. It was behind a hillock and I attacked it with my spear and killed it. Then I brought it to my companions. Some of them said: Eat it, while others said: Do not eat it. The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) was in front of us. I moved my horse and came to him (and asked him), whereupon he said: It is permissible, so eat it.

Abu Qatadah (RA) (RA) reported that while he was with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on one of the highways of Makkah, he lagged behind him (the Holy Prophet) along with companions who were in the state of Ihram, whereas he was himself not Muhrim. He saw a wild ass. As he was mounting his horse he asked his companions to pick up for him his whip (which had dropped) but they refused to do so. He asked them to hand him over the spear, but they refused. He then himself took hold of it and chased the wild ass and killed it. Some of the Companions of the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) ate (its meat), but some of them refused to do so. They overtook the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and asked him about it, and he said: It is a food which Allah provided you (so eat it).

This hadith pertaining to the wild ass is reported on the authority of Abu Qatadah (RA). The rest of the hadith is the same but with this (variation of words) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Is there with you some of its flesh?"

'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) reported: My father went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the year of Hudaibiya. His Companions entered upon the state of Ihram whereas he did not, for it was conveyed to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) that the enemy (was hiding at) Ghaiqa. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) went forward. He (Abu Qatadah (RA)) said: Meanwhile I was along with his Companions, some of them smiled (to one another) as I cast a glance I saw a wild ass. I attacked it with a spear and held it, and begged for their (i. e. of his companions) assistance, but they refused to help me and we ate its meat. But we were afraid lest we should be separated (from the Messenger of Allah) (ﷺ) . So I proceeded on (with a view to) seeking the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) . Sometimes I dashed my horse and sometimes I made it run at a leisurely pace (keeping pace with others). (In the meanwhile) I met a person from Banu Ghifar in the middle of the night. I said to him: Where did you meet the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) ? He said: I left him at Ta'bin and he intended to halt at Suqya to spend the afternoon. I met him and said: Messenger of Allah. your Companions convey salutations and benedictions of Allah to you and they fear that they may not be separated from you (and the enemy may do harm to you), so wait for them, and he (the Holy Prophet) waited for them. I said: Messenger of Allah, I killed a game and there is left with me (some of the meat). The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) said to his people: Eat it. And they were in the state of Ihram.

'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) reported on the authority of his father (RA) : The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) set out for Pilgrimage and we also set out along with him. He (Abu Qatadah (RA)) said: There proceeded on some of his Companions and Abu Qatadah (RA) was (one of them). He, (the Holy Prophet) said: You proceed along the coastline till you meet me. He (Abu Qatadah (RA)) said: So they proceeded ahead of the Prophet (ﷺ) of God (ﷺ) , all of them had entered upon the state of Ihram, except Abu Qatadah (RA); he had not put on Ihram. As they went on they saw a wild ass, and Abu Qatadah (RA) attacked it and cut off its hind legs. They got down and ate its meat. They said: We ate meat in the state of Ihram. They carried the meat that was left of it. As they came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) they said: Messenger of Allah, we were in the state of Ihram where as Abu Qatadah (RA) was not. We saw a wild ass and Abu Qatadah (RA) attacked it and cut off its hind legs. We got down and ate its meat and we thus ate the meat of a game while we were in the state of Ihram. We have (carried to you) what was left out of its meat. Thereupon he (the holy Prophet) said: Did anyone among you command him (to hunt) or point to him with anything (to do so)? They said: No. Thereupon he said: Then eat what is left out of its meat.

Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) narrated on the authority of his father (RA) that they went with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) on an expedition to Hudaibiya. He (further) said: They had entered upon the state of Ihram except I for 'Umrah. He (again) said: I (Abu Qatadah (RA)) hunted a wild ass and fed my companions in the state of their being Muhrim. I then came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and informed him that we had with us the meat that was left out of it. Thereupon he said: Eat it while they were in the state of Ihram.

'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) reported on the authority of his father (RA) that they went out with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and they were Muhrim except Abu Qatadah (RA). The rest of the hadith is the same (but with the exception of these words): "He (the Holy Prophet) said: Is there anything out of it? They said: We have its leg with us. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) took it and ate it."

Abdullah bin Abi Qatada reported that Abu Qatadah (RA) was among the party of those who had entered upon the state of Ihram whereas he was not. The rest of the hadith is the same (and herein it is also narrated): "He (the Holy Prophet) said: Did any person among you point to him (to hunt) or command him (in any form)? They said: Messenger of Allah, not at all. Thereupon he said: Then eat it."

Abdullah bin Abu Qatida reported that Abu Qatadah (RA) (RA) demanded (the payment of his debt) from his debtor but he disappeared; later on he found him and he said: I am hard up financially, whereupon he said: (Do you state it) by God? He said: By God. Upon this he (Qatada) said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who loves that Allah saves him from the torments of the Day of Resurrection should give respite to the insolvent or remit (his debt)

Abu Qatadah (RA) al-Ansari (RA) reported he heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say: Beware of swearing; it produces a ready sale for a commodity, but blots out the blessing.

Abu Muammad al-Ansari, who was the close companion of Abu Qatadah (RA) narrated the hadith (which follows).

Abu Muhammad, the freed slave of Abu Qatadah (RA) reported on the authority of Abu Qatda and narrated the hadith.

Abu Qatada reported:We accompanied the Messenger of Allah (my peace be upon him) on an expedition in the year of the Battle of Hunain. When we encountered the enemy, (some of the Muslims turned back (in fear). I saw that a man from the polytheists overpowered one of the Muslims. I turned round and attacked him from behind giving a blow between his neck and shoulder. He turned towards me and grappled with me in such a way that I began to see death staring me in the face. Then death overtook him and left me alone. I joined 'Umar b. al-Khattab who was saying: What has happened to the people (that they are retreating)? I said: It is the Decree of Allah. Then the people returned. (The battle ended in a victory for the Muslims) and the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sat down (to distribute the spoils of war). He said: One who has killed an enemy and can bring evidence to prove it will get his belongings. So I stood up and said: Who will give evidence for me? Then I sat down. Then he (the Holy Prophet) said like this. I stood up (again) and said: Who will bear witness for me? He (the Holy Prophet) made the same observation the third time, and I stood up (once again). Now the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: What has happened to you, O Abu Qatada? Then I related the (whole) story, to him. At this, one of the people said: He has told the truth. Messenger of Allah 1 The belongings of the enemy killed by him are with me. Persuade him to forgo his right (in my favour). (Objecting to this proposal) Abu Bakr said: BY Allah, this will not happen. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) will not like to deprive one of the lions from among the lions of Allah who fight in the cause of Allah and His Messenger and give thee his share of the booty. So the Messenger of Allah (may peace he upon him) said: He (Abu Bakr) has told the truth, and so give the belongings to him (Abu Qatada). So he gave them to me. I sold the armour (which was a part of my share of the booty) and bought with the sale proceeds a garden in the street of Banu Salama. This was the first property I acquired after embracing Islam. In a version of the hadith narrated by Laith, the words uttered by Abu Bakr are:" No, never! He will not give it to a fox from the Quraish leaving aside a lion from the lions of Allah among...." And the hadith is closed with the words:" The first property I acquired."

It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Qatadah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) stood up among them (his Companions) to deliver his sermon in which he told them that Jihad in the way of Allah and belief in Allah (with all His Attributes) are the most meritorious of acts. A man stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, do you think that if I am killed in the way of Allah, my sins will be blotted out from me? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes, in case you are killed in the way of Allah and you were patient and sincere and you always fought facing the enemy, never turming your back upon him. Then he added: What have you said (now)? (Wishing to have further assurance from him for his satisfaction), he asked (again): Do you think if I am killed in the way of Allah, all my sins will be obliterated from me? The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Yes, it you were patient and sincere and always fought facing the enemy and never turning your back upon him, (all your lapses would be forgiven) except debt. Gabriel (ؑ) has told me this.

The tradition has been narrated through a different chain of transmitters on the authority of Abu Qatadah (RA) who said: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) while he was on the pulpit and said: Do you think if I am killed in the way of Allah... (except this difference in its beginning, the rest of the tradition is the same as the previous one).

Another version of the tradition differently transmitted begins with the words:" A man came to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he was sitting on the pulpit.... He said: What do you find if I strike with the sword?" (The rest of the tradition is the same as the previous one.)

Abu Qatadah (RA), on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said this: Do not prepare Nabidh by mixing nearly ripe dates and fresh dates together, and do not prepare Nabidh by mixing grapes and dates together, but prepare Nabidh from each (one of them) separately.

Abu Qatadah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Do not prepare Nabidh by mixing nearly ripe and fresh dates and do not prepare Nabidh by mixing together fresh dates and grapes, but prepare Nabidh out of each (one of them) separately. Yahya stated that he had met 'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA) and he narrated it on the authority of his father that Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said this.

'Abdullah bin Abu Qatadah (RA), on the authority of his father, reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) forbidding the preparation of the mixture of ripe dates and unripe dates, and the mixture of grapes and dates, and that of nearly ripe dates and fresh dates but the Prophet (ﷺ) said: Prepare the Nabidh from each one of them separately.

This hadith is narrated on the authority of Abu Qatadah (RA) through another chain of transmitters.
