Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , as saying: We who are the last would be the first on the Day of Resurrection but they (other Ummahs) were given the Book before us and we were given after them, and this was the day that was prescribed for them but they disagreed on it. And Allah guided us to it. and they came after us with regard to it, the Jews observing the next day and the Christians the day following that.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When it is Friday, the angels stand at every door of the mosque and record the people in the order of their arrival, and when the Imam sits (on the pulpit for delivering the sermon) they fold up their sheets (manuscripts of the Qur'an) and listen to the mention (of Allah). And he who comes early is like one who offers a she-camel as a sacrifice, the next like one who offers a cow, the next a ram, the next a hen, the next an egg.

This hadith has been narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) through another chain of transmitters.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is an angel on every door of the mosque recording him first who (conies) first (at the mosque for Friday prayer). And he [the Prophet] likened him as one who offers a camel as a sacrifice and then he went on in the descending order till he reached the point at which the minimum (sacrifice) is that of an egg. And when the Imam sits (on the pulpit) the sheets are folded and they (the angels) attend to the mention of Allah.

Abu-Hurairah reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: He who took a bath and then came for Jumu'a prayer and then prayed what was fixed for him, then kept silence till the Imam finished the sermon, and then prayed along with him, his sins between that time and the next Friday would be forgiven, and even of three days wore.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who performed ablution well, then came to Friday prayer, listened (to the sermon), kept silence, all (his sins) between that time and the next Friday would be forgiven with three days extra, and he who touched pebbles caused an interruption.

'Abdullah bin 'Umar (RA) and Abu Hurairah (RA) said that they heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) say on the planks of his pulpit: People most cease to neglect the Friday prayer or Allah will seal their hearts and then they will be among the negligent.

Ibn Abu Rafi' said: Marwan appointed Abu Hurairah (RA) as his deputy in Madinah and he himself left for Makkah. Abu Hurairah (RA) led us in the Jumu'a prayer and recited after Surah Jumu'a in the second rak'ah: " When the hypocrites came to thee" (Surah lxiii.). I then met Abu Hurairah (RA) as he came back and said to him: You have recited two surahs which 'Ali bin Abu Talib used to recite in Kufah. Upon this Abu Hurairah (RA) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peace: be upon him) 'reciting these two in the Friday (prayer).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in the dawn prayer on Friday" Alif-Lam-Meem, Tanzil" and" Surely there came."

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) used to recite in the dawn prayer on Friday:" Alif-Lam-Mim, Tanzil" in the first rak'ah, and in the second one:" Surely there came over the man a time when he was nothing that could be mentioned."

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When any one of you observes the Jumu'a prayer (two obligatory rak'ahs in congregation), he should observe four (rak'ahs) afterwards.

Suhail reported on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: When you observe prayer after (the two obligatory rak'ahs) of Jumu'a, you should observe four rak'ahs (and 'Amr in his narration has made this addition that Ibn Idris said this on the authority of Suhail): And if you are in a hurry on account of something, you should observe two rak'ahs in the mosque and two when you return (to your house).

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: When any one amongst you observes prayer after Jumu'a, he should observe four rak'ahs. (In the hadith transmitted by Jarir the word minkum is not recorded.)

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: While the Abyssinians were busy playing with their arms in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) 'Umar bin Khattab came there. He bent down to take up pebbles to throw at them (in order to make them go off). The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said to him: 'Umar, leave them alone.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Exhort to recite " There is no god but Allah" to those of you who are dying.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Did you not see when the man died and his eyes were fixedly open? He ( Abu Hurairah (RA) ) said: Yes. He (the Holy Prophet) said: It is due to the fact that when (the soul leaves the body) his eyesight follows the soul.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: Make haste at a funeral; if the dead person was good, it is a good state to which you are sending him on; but if he was otherwise it is an evil of which you are ridding yourselves.

This hadith has been narrated by another chain of transmitters except with this variation (of words) that in the hadith narrated by Ma'mar (the words are):" I do not know whether the hadith is marfu'."

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger as saying: Hasten at a funeral, for if (the dead person) is good, you would (soon) bring him close to the good. And if it is otherwise, it is an evil of which you are ridding yourselves.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who attends the funeral till the prayer is offered for (the dead), for him is the reward of one 'qirat', and he who attends (and stays) till he is buried, for him is the reward of two 'qirats'. It was said: What are the 'qirats'? He said: They are equivalent to two huge mountains. Two other narrators added: Ibn 'Umar used to pray and then depart (without waiting for the burial of the dead). When the tradition of Abu Hurairah (RA) reached him, he said:" We have lost many 'qirats'."

This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) through another chain of narrators up to these words:" two great mountains." No mention is made of what followed (these words) ; and in the hadith transmitted by 'Abdul A'la (the words are):" till (the burial) is complete." In the hadith transmitted by 'Abd ar-Razzaq (the words are):" till he is placed in the grave."

This hadith is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) through another chain of transmitters (with these words):" He who followed it (the bier) till he (the dead) is buried."

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: He who offered prayer over the dead, but did not follow the bier, for him is the reward of one 'qirat', and he who followed it, for him is the reward of two 'qirats'. It was asked what the 'qirats' were. He said: The smaller amongst the two is equivalent to Uhud.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: He who offers prayer for the dead, for him is (the reward of) one 'qirat'; and he who follows the bier till it is placed in the grave, for him (is the reward of) two qirats. I (Abu Hazim, one of the narrators) said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , what is this 'qirat'? He said: It is like the hill of Uhud.

Nafi' narrated that it was said to Ibn 'Umar that Abu Huraira reported to have heard Allah's Messenger (صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) as saying: He who follows the bier, for him is the reward of one qirat. Ibn 'Umar said: Abu Huraira narrated it too often. So he sent (a messenger to) 'A'isha to ascertain (the fact). She ('A'isha) testified Abu Huraira. Ibn 'Umar said: We missed so many qirats.

Dawud bin 'Amir bin Sa'd bin Abu Waqqas reported on the authority of his father that while he was sitting along with 'Abdullah bin 'Umar, Khabbab, the owner of Maqsura, said: Ibn 'Umar, do you hear what Abu Hurairah (RA) says that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say:" He who goes out with the bier when taken out from its residence and offers prayer for it and he then follows it till it is buried, he would have two 'qirats' of reward, each 'qirat' being equivalent to Uhud; and he who, after having offered prayer, (directly) came back would have his reward (as great) as Uhud"? Ibn 'Umar sent Khabbab to 'A'isha in order to ask her about the words of Abu Hurairah (RA) (and also told him) to come back to him (Ibn 'Umar) and inform him what 'A'isha said. (In the meanwhile) Ibn 'Umar took up a handful of pebbles and turned them over in his hand till the messenger (Khabbab) came back to him and told (him) that 'A'isha testified (the statement of) Abu Hurairah (RA) . Ibn 'Umar threw the pebbles he had in his hand on the ground and then said: We missed a large number of 'qirats'.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave the people news of the death of Negus on the day he died, and he took them out to the place of prayer and observed four takbirs.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) gave us the news of the death of Negus, the ruler of Abyssinia, on the day when he died, and he said (to us): Beg pardon for your brother. Ibn Shihab said that Sa'id bin Musayyib had told that Abu Hurairah (RA) had narrated to him that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drew them up in a row in a place of prayer, and offered prayer and recited four takbirs for him.

It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah (RA) that a dark-complexioned woman (or a youth) used to sweep the mosque. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) missed her (or him) and inquired about her (or him). The people told him that she (or he) had died. He asked why they did not inform him, and it appears as if they had treated her (or him) or her (or his) affairs as of little account. He (the Holy Prophet) said: Lead me to her (or his) grave. They led him to that place and he said prayer over her (or him) and then remarked: Verily, these graves are full of darkness for their dwellers. Verily, the Mighty and Glorious Allah illuminates them for their occupants by reason of my prayer over them.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: It is better that one of you should sit on live coats which would burn his clothing and come in contact with his skin than that he should sit on a grave.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger, (ﷺ) as saying: I sought permission to beg forgiveness for my mother, but He did not grant it to me. I sought permission from Him to visit her grave, and He granted it (permission) to me.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported: The Apostle of Allah (ﷺ) visited the grave of his mother and he wept, and moved others around him to tears, and said: I sought permission from my Lord to beg forgiveness for her but it was not granted to me, and I sought permission to visit her grave and it was granted to me. So visit the graves, for that makes you mindful of death.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messsenger (ﷺ) as saying: No Sadaqa is due from a Muslim on his slave or horse.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: No Sadaqa is due from a Muslim on his slave or horse.

A hadith like this has been narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) through another chain of transmitters.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no Sadaqa on a slave except Sadaqat-ul-Fitr.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) sent Umar for (collecting) Sadaqa (zakat), and it was said that Ibn Jamil, Khalid bin Walid and 'Abbas the uncle of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , refused (to pay it). Upon this the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Ibn Jamil is taking revenge but for this that he was destitute and Allah made him rich. As regards Khalid, you are unjust to Khalid, for he reserved his armours and weapons for the sake of Allah, and as for 'Abbas, I shall be responsible for it and an equal amount along with it. And he again said: 'Umar, bear this in mind, the uncle of a person is like his father.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: If any owner of gold or silver does not pay what is due on him, when the Day of Resurrection would come, plates of fire would be beaten out for him; these would then be heated in the fire of Hell and his sides, his forehead and his back would be cauterized with them. Whenever these cool down, the process is repeated during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants, and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the camel? He (the Holy Prophet) said: If any owner of the camel does not pay what is due on him, and of his due in that (camel) is (also) to milk it on the day when it comes down to water. When the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be set for him, as extensive as possible, (he will find) that not a single young one is missing, and they will trample him with their hoofs and bite him with their mouths. As often as the first of them passes him, the last of them would be made to return during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment is pronounced among servants and he sees whether his path is to take him to Paradise or to Hell. It was (again) said: Messenger of Allah, what about cows (cattle) and sheep? He said: If any owner of the cattle and sheep does not pay what is due on them, when the Day of Resurrection comes a soft sandy plain would be spread for them, he will find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without horns or with a broken horn, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hoofs. As soon as the first of them passes him the last of them would be made to return to him during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, until judgment would be pronounced among the servants. And he would be shown his path leading him to Paradise or to Hell. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the horse? Upon this he said: The horses are of three types. To one man (these are) a burden, and to another man (these are) a covering, and still to another man (these are) a source of reward. The one for whom these are a burden is the person who rears them in order to show off, for vain glory and for opposing the Muslims; so they are a burden for him. The one for whom these are a covering is the person who rears them for the honour and dignity but does not forget the right of Allah concerning their backs and their necks, and so they are a covering for him. As for those which bring reward (these refer to) the person who rears them for the sake of Allah to be used for Muslims and he puts them in meadow and field. And whatever thing do these eat from that meadow and field would be recorded on his behalf as good deeds, as would also the amount of their dung and urine. And these would not break their halter and prance a course or two without having got recorded the amount of their hoof marks and their dung as a good deed on his behalf (on behalf of their owner). And their master does not bring them past a river from which they drink, though he did not intend to quench their thirst, but Allah would record for him the amount of what they drink on his behalf as deeds. It was said: Messenger of Allah, what about the asses?, Upon this he said: Nothing has been revealed to me in regard to the asses (in particular) except this one verse of a comprehensive nature: "He who does an atom's weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom's weight of evil will see it" (xcix. 7)

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: No owner of the treasure who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but (his hoards) would be heated in the Fire of Hell and these would be made into plates and with these his sides, his forehead would be cauterised till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants during a day, the extent of which would be fifty thousand years. He would then see his path, leading either to Paradise or to Hell. And no owner of the camels who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but a soft sandy plain would be set for him and they (the camels) would be made to pass over him till the last of them would be made to return till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants during a day, the extent of which would be fifty thousand years. He would then see his path leading him to Paradise or leading him to Hell. And no owner of the cattle and goats who does not pay Zakat (would be spared) but a soft sandy plain would be set for him, he would find none of them missing, with twisted horns, without horns, or with broken horns, and they will gore him with their horns and trample him with their hoofs and they would be made to pass over him till the last of them would be made to return till Allah would pronounce judgment among His servants, during a day the extent of which would be fifty thousand years, and he would see the paths leading to Paradise or to Hell. Suhail said: I do not know whether he made mention of the cows. They said: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) , what about the horses? He said: The horses have goodness in their foreheads (or he said) or goodness is ingrained in the foreheads of the horses (Suhail said: I am in doubt as to what was actually said) up till the Day of judgement. The horses are of three kinds. They are a source of reward to a person, they are a covering to a person, and they are a burden to a person. As for those which bring reward is that a person would get reward who rears them for the sake of Allah and trains them for Him, and nothing disappears in their stomachs but Allah would record for him a good deed. And if they were to graze in the meadow, they would eat nothing but Allah would record for him a reward. And if they were to drink water from the canal, with every drop that would disappear in their stomachs there would be reward (for the owner). He went on describing till a reward was mentioned for their urine and dung. And if they pranced a course or two, there would be recorded a reward for every pace that they covered. As for one for whom they are a covering, he is the man who rears them for honour and dignity but does not forget the right of their backs and their stomachs, in plenty and adversity. As regards one for whom they are a burden, he is that who rears them for vainglory and showing off to the people; for him they are, the burden. They said: Messenger of Allah, what about asses? He said: Allah has not revealed to me anything in regards to it except this one comprehensive verse: "He who does an atom's weight of good will see it, and he who does an atom's weight of evil will see it" (xcix. 7).

This hadith has been narrated by Abu Hurairah (RA) through another chain of transmitters: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When a person does not pay what is due to Allah or Sadaqa of his camels...." The rest of the hadith is the same.
