Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When two persons go together for relieving themselves uncovering their private parts and talking together, Allah, the Great and Majestic, becomes wrathful at this (action). Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated only by Ikrimah bin Ammar.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The people asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: Can we perform ablution out of the well of Budaah, which is a well into which menstrual clothes, dead dogs and stinking things were thrown? He replied: Water is pure and is not defiled by anything.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: I heard that the people asked the Prophet of Allah ﷺ: Water is brought for you from the well of Budaah. It is a well in which dead dogs, menstrual clothes and excrement of people are thrown. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: Verily water is pure and is not defiled by anything. Abu Dawud said I heard Qutaibah bin Saeed say: I asked the person in charge of the well of Bud'ah about the depth of the well. He replied: At most the water reaches pubes. Then I asked: Where does it reach when its level goes down ? He replied: Below the private part of the body. Abu Dawud said: I measured the breadth of the well of Budaah with my sheet which I stretched over it. I them measured it with the hand. It measured six cubits in breadth. I then asked the man who opened the door of garden for me and admitted me to it: Has the condition of this well changed from what it had originally been in the past ? He replied: No. I saw the color of water in this well had changed.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet ﷺ passed by a boy who was skinning a goat. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Give it up until I show you. He (the Prophet) inserted his hand between the skin and the flesh until it reached the armpit. He then went away and led the people in prayer and he did not perform ablution. The version of Amr added that he did not touch water. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated though another chain of transmitters, making no mention of Abu Saeed.

Aba Saeed al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: water (bath) is necessary only when there is seminal emission. And Abu Salamah followed it.

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri reported: The Prophet ﷺ said: When any of you has intercourse with his wife and desire to repeat it, he should perform ablution between them.

Abu Saeed al-Khudri said: Two persons set out on a journey. Meanwhile the time of prayer came and they had no water. They performed tayammum with clean earth and prayed. Later on they found water within the time of the prayer. One of them repeated the prayer and ablution but the other did not repeat. Then they came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and related the matter to him. Addressing himself to the one who did not repeat, he said: You followed the sunnah (model behavior of the Prophet) and your (first) prayer was enough for you. He said to the one who performed ablution and repeated: For you there is the double reward. Abu Dawud said: Besides Ibn Nafi this is transmitted by al-Laith from Umairah bin Abi Najiyyah from Bakr bin Sawadah on the authority of Ata bin Yasar from the Prophet ﷺ. Abu Dawud said: The mention of (the name of the Companion) Abu Saeed in this tradition is not guarded. This is a mural tradition (i. e. the Successor Ata bin Yasar directly narrates it from the Prophet, leaving the name of the Companion in the chain. )

Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Taking bath on Friday is necessary for every adult.

Abu Saeed al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone takes a bath on Friday, puts on his best clothes, applies a touch of perfume if has any, then goes to congregational prayer (in the mosque), and takes care not to step over people, then prayer what Allah has prescribes for him, then keeps silent from the time his Imam comes out until he finishes his prayer, it will atone for his sins during the previous week. Abu Hurairah said: (It will atone for his sins) for three days more. he further said: One is rewarded ten times for doing a good work. Abu Dawud said: The version narrated by Muhammad bin Salamah is perfect, and Hammad did not make a mention of the statement of Abu Hurairah.

Abdur-Rahman bin Abi Saeed al-Khudri quotes his father as saying: The Prophet ﷺ said: Washing and the use of tooth-stick are necessary for every adult (person) on Friday; and everyone should apply perfume whatever one has. The narrator Bukair did not mention of Abdur-Rahman; and about perfume he said that even it might be of the kind used by women.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: We observed the prayer after nightfall with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he did not come out till about half the night had passed. He then said: Take your places. We then took our places. Then he said: The people have prayed and gone to bed, but you are still engaged in prayer as long as you wait for the prayer. Were it not for the weakness of the weak and for the sickness of the sick. I would delay this prayer till half the night had gone.

Abu Saeed Al-khudri said: The Prophet ﷺ liked the twigs of the date-palm, and he often had one of them in his hand. He entered the mosque and saw phlegm in the wall towards qiblah and he scraped it. He then turned towards people in anger and said: Is any one of you is pleased to spit in his face? When any of you faces qiblah, he indeed faces his Lord, the Majestic the Glorious: the angels are at right side. Therefore, he should not spit on his right side or before him towards qiblah. He should spit towards his left side or beneath his foot. If he is in a hurry, he should do so-and-so. Describing it Ibn ‘Ajlan said: He should spit in his cloth and fold a part of it over the other.

Narrated Saeed: and the narrator Musa said: As far as Amr thinks, the Prophet ﷺ said: The whole earth is a place of prayer except public baths and graveyards.

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: When you hear the Adhan, you should repeat the same words as the Muadhdhin pronounces.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: Prayer in congregation is equivalent to twenty-five prayers (offered alone). If he prays in a jungle, and performs its bowing and prostrations perfectly, it becomes equivalent to fifty prayers (in respect of reward). Abu Dawud said: Abd al-Walid bin Ziyad narrated in his version of this tradition: "Prayer said by a single person in a jungle is more excellent by multiplied degrees than prayer said in congregation. "

Narrated Saeed al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a person praying alone. He said: Is there any man who may do good with this (man) and pray along with him.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was leading his Companions in prayer, he took off his sandals and laid them on his left side; so when the people saw this, they removed their sandals. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he asked: What made you remove your sandals? The replied: We saw you remove your sandals, so we removed our sandals. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said: Gabriel came to me and informed me that there was filth in them. When any of you comes to the mosque, he should see; if he finds filth on his sandals, he should wipe it off and pray in them.

Abu Saeed Al-Khudri said; The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a tendency among his companions to go to the back. He said to them; come forward and follow my lead, and let those who come after you follow your lead people will continue to keep to the back till Allah would put them at the back.

Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: When one of you prays, he should not let anyone pass in front of him; he should turn him away as far as possible; but if he refuses (to go), he should fight him, for he is only a devil.

Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: When one of you prays, he should pray facing the sutrah (screen or covering) and he should keep himself close to it. He then narrated the tradition to the same effect.

Abu Ubaid said: I saw Ata bin Yazid al-Laithi praying in a standing posture. So I went to him passing in front of him; he, therefore, turned me away. He then said to me: Abu Saeed al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: If anyone of you can do that he should not let anyone pass between him and the qiblah, he should do it.

Abu Salih said: I narrate what I witnesses from Abu Saeed and heard from him. Abu Saeed entered upon Marwan and said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: When one of you prays facing any object which conceals him from people, and someone wishes to pass in front of him, he should strike him at his chest; if he refuses (to go), he should fight him; he is only a devil. Abu Dawud said: Sufyan Ath-Thawri said: "A person arrogantly walks in front of me while I am praying, so I stop him, and a weak person passes, so I dont stop him. "

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet ﷺ said: Nothing interrupt prayer, but repulse as much as you can anyone who passes in front of you, for he is just a devil.

Abu al-Waddak said: A youth from the Quraish passed in front of Abu Saeed Al-Khudri who was praying. He repulsed him. He returned again. He then repulsed him for the third time. When he finished the prayer, he said: Nothing cuts off prayer; but the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Repulse as much as you can, for he is just a devil. Abu Dawud said: If two traditions of the Prophet ﷺ conflict, the practice of the Companions after him should be taken into consideration.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ got up to pray at night (for tahajjud prayer) he uttered the takbir and then said: "Glory be to Thee, O Allah, " and "Praise be to Thee" and "Blessed is Thy name, " and Exalted is Thy greatness. " and "There is no god but Thee. " He then said: "There is no god but Allah" three times; he then said: "Allah is altogether great" three times: "I seek refuge in Allah, All-Hearing and All-Knowing from the accursed devil, from his evil suggestion (hamz), from his puffing up (nafkh), and from his spitting (nafth)" He then recited (the Quran). Abu Dawud said: It is said that this tradition has been narrated by Ali bin Abi from al-Hasan omitting the name of the Companion of the Prophet ﷺ. The misunderstanding occurred on the part of Jafar.

Abu Saeed Al Khudri said: We used to estimate how long the Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood in the noon and the afternoon prayer, and we estimated that he stood in the first two rak’ahs of the noon prayer as long as it takes to recite thirty verses (of the Quran), such as A-L-M Tanzil al-Sajdah. And we estimated that he stood in the last two rak’ahs half the time he stood in the first two rak’ahs. We estimated that he stood in the first two rak’ahs of the afternoon prayer as long as he did in the last two at noon; and we estimated that he stood in the last two rak’ahs of the afternoon prayer half the time he did in first two.

Abu Saeed said: we were commanded to recite Fatihat al-kitab and whatever was convenient (from the Quran during the prayer).

Abu Saeed Al-Khuri said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “ Allah listens to him who praises Him, ” he also said: O Allah, our Lord, to thee be the praise in all heavens. Mu’ammil said ( in his version); “ In all the heavens, and in all the earth, and in all that it pleases Thee to create afterwards. O thou Who art worthy of praise and glory, most worthy of what a servant says, and we are all thy servants, no one can withhold what thou givest or give what Thou withholdest. “The narrators then were agreed on the words: “And riches cannot avail a wealthy person with Thee. ”

Abu saeed al-Khudri said: The mark of earth was seen on the forehead and nose of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ due to the prayer in which he led the people.

Abu Saeed al-Khudri said: The mark of earth was seen on the forehead and nose of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who had led the people I prayer. Abu Ali said: Abu Dawud did not recite this tradition when he recited his collection (of sunan) for the fourth time.

Ata bin Yasar said that Abu Saeed Al-Khudri reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: when one of you is in doubt about his prayer (i. e, how much he has prayed), he should throw away his doubt and base his prayer on what he is sure of. When he is sure about the completion of his prayer, he should make two prostrations (at the end of the prayer). If the prayer is complete, the additional rak’ah and the two prostrations will be supererogatory prayer. If the prayer is incomplete, the additional rak’ahs will compensate it, and the two prostrations will be a disgrace for the devil.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet ﷺ said: When one of you prays, and he does not know whether he prayed more or less rak'ahs (than those prescribed by the Shari'ah), he should perform two prostrations while he is sitting. If the devil comes to him, and tells him (suggests him): "You have been defiled, " he should say: "You have told a lie, " except that he feels smell with his nose, or sound with his ears (then his ablution will break). These are the wording; of the tradition reported by Aban. Abu Dawud said: Mamar and Abi bin al-Mubarak mentioned the name "Iyad bin Hilal and al-Awzai mentioned the name of Iyad bin Abi Zuhair.

Abu Saeed al-Khudri said: Marwan brought out the pulpit onEidd. He began preaching before the prayer. A man stood and said: You opposed the sunnah, O Marwan. You brought out the pulpit on theEidd, it was not brought out before: and you began preaching before the prayer. Abu Saeed al-Khudri said: Wh is this (man) ? They (people) said: So-and so son of so-and-so. He has performed his duty. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who observes and evil deed should change it with his hand if he can do so; if he cannot do, (he should change it) then with his tongue; if he cannot do then (he should change it) with his heart, and that is the weakest degree of the faith.

Narrated Abu Saeed and Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: If a man awakens his wife at night, and then both pray or both offer two rak'ahs together, the (name of the )man will be recorded among those who mention the name of Allah, and the (name of the) woman will be recorded among those who mention the name of Allah. Ibn Kathir did not narrate this tradition as a statement of the Prophet ﷺ, but he reported it as a statement of Abu Saeed. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has been narrated by Ibn Mahdi from Sufyan and I think he mentioned the name of Sufyan. He also said: The tradition transmitted by Sufyan is a statement of the Companion (and not that of the Prophet).

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ retired to the mosque. He heard them (the people) reciting the Quran in a loud voice. He removed the curtain and said: Lo! every one of you is calling his Lord quietly. One should not trouble the other and one should not raise the voice in recitation or in prayer over the voice of the other.

Narrated Abu Saeed Al Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to spend the middle ten days of Ramadan in retirement and devotion (Itikaf) in the mosque. One year he had retirement and devotion in the mosque (as usual); when the twenty-first night came, and this night when he used to come out his devotion in the mosque, he said: He who has engaged himself in devotion along with me should do so during the last ten days; I saw that night, that was caused to forget it, but I have seen myself prostrating in water and mud on the morning following (that night), so seek it in the last ten days and seek it every night with an odd number. Abu Saeed said: Rain fell that night, the mosque that was thatched building dripped, and my eyes saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with the traces of water and mud, on his forehead on the morning following the twenty-first night.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet ﷺ said: Seek it (laylat al-Qadr) in the last ten days of Ramadan. Seek it on the ninth, seventh and fifth night. I (Abu Nadrah) said: You know counting better than us, Abu Saeed. He said: Yes. I asked: What do you mean by the ninth, seventh and fifth night? He said: When the twenty-first night passes, the night which follows it is the night; when the twenty-third night passes, the night which follows it is the seventh; when the twenty-fifth passes, the night which follows it is the fifth. Abu Dawud said: I do not know whether anything remained hidden from me or not.

Narrated Saeed al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited surah Sad on the pulpit. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated with him. When the next day came, he recited it. When he reached the place of prostration (in the surah), the people became ready for prostration. Thereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: This is the repentance of a Prophet ; but I saw you being ready for prostration. So he descended and prostrated himself and the people prostrated along with him.

Narrated Abu Saeed al-Khudri: The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone oversleeps and misses the witr, or forgets it, he should pray when he remembers.

Narrated Abu Saeed ; Abu Hurairah: The Prophet ﷺ said: When a man himself wakes at night and wakens his wife and they pray two rak'ahs together, they are recorded among the men and women who make much mention of Allah.
