Hadith 1625
Jabir bin 'Abdullah (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) commanded that whoever is conferred upon a life grant along with his descendants is entitled to make use of the property conferred so long as he lives and his successors (also enjoy this privilege). That (property) becomes the their defect belonging. The donor cannot (after declaring 'Umrah) lay down any condition or make any exception. Abu Salama said: For he conferred a grant and as such it becomes heritage. and the right of inheritance abrogated his condition.

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that two women of the tribe of Hudhail fought with each other and one of them flung a stone at the other, killing her and what was in her womb. The case was brought to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and he gave judgment that the diyat (indemnity) of her unborn child is a male or a female slave of the best quality, and he also decided that the diyat of the woman is to be paid by her relative on the father's side, and he (the Holy Prophet) made her sons and those who were with them her heirs. Hamal bin al-Nabigha al-Hudhali said: Messenger of Allah, why should I pay blood-wit for one who neither drank, nor ate, nor spoke, nor made any noise; it is like a nonentity (it is, therefore, not justifiable to demand blood-wit for it). Thereupon Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: He seems to be one of the brothers of soothsavers on account of the rhymed speech which he has composed.
Hadith 1681
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported that two women fought-the rest of the hadith is the same but herein no mention has been made of: He made her son and those who were with them her heirs. Someone said: Why should we pay blood-wit? And he did not name Hamal bin Malik.

Abu Salama bin 'Abdul Rahman bin 'Auf reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: There is no transitive disease, but he is also reported to have said: A sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Abu Salama said that Abu Hurairah (RA) used to narrate these two (different ahadith) from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) , but afterwards Abu Hurairah (RA) became silent on these words: "There is no transitive disease," but he stuck to this that the sick person should not be taken to one who is healthy. Harith bin Abu Dhubab (and he was the first cousin of Abu Hurairah (RA) ) said: Abu Hurairah (RA) , I used to hear from you that you narrated to us along with this hadith and the other one also (there is no transitive disease), but now you observe silence about it. You used to say that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: There is no transitive disease. Abu Hurairah (RA) denied having any knowledge of that, but he said that the sick camel should not be taken to the healthy one. Harith, however, did not agree with him, which irritated Abu Hurairah (RA) and he said to him some words in the Abyssinian language. He said to Harith (RA) : Do you know what I said to you? He said: No. Abu Hurairah (RA) said: I simply denied having said it. Abu Salama sad: By my life, Abu Hurairah (RA) in fact used to report Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) having said: There is no transitive disease. I do not know whether Abu Hurairah (RA) has forgotten it or he deemed it an abrogated statement in the light of the other one.

I said: We used to take omens. He said: That is a sort of personal whim of yours, so let it not prevent you (from doing a thing).
Hadith 2241
Abu Hurairah (RA) reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: An ant had bitten a Prophet (ﷺ) (one amongst the earlier Prophets) and he ordered that the colony of the ants should be burnt.

Hadith 2246

Abu Salama reported: I used to see dreams (and was so much perturbed) that I began to quiver and have temperature, but did not cover myself with a mantle. I met Abu Qatadah (RA) and made a mention of that to him. He said: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: A good vision comes from Allah and a (bad) dream (hulm) from devil. So when one of you sees a bad dream (hulm) which he does not like, he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from its evil; then it will not harm him.
Hadith 2261
This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Qatadah (RA), but there is no mention of the words of Abu Salama (RA) : "I saw dreams (which perturbed me) but I did not cover myself with a mantle."
