Uqbah bin Amir said: We served ourselves in the company of Messenger of Allah ﷺ. We tended our camels by turn. One day I had my turn to tend the camels, and I drove them in the afternoon. I found the Messenger of Allah ﷺ addressing the people. I heard him say: Anyone amongst you who performs ablution, and does it well, then he stands and offers two rak’ahs of prayer, concentrating on it with his heart and body, Paradise will be his lot by all means. I said: Ha-ha! How fine it is! A man in front of me said: The action (mentioned by the Prophet) earlier, O Uqbah, is finer that this one. I looked at him and found him to be Umar bin al-Khattab. I asked him: What is that, O Abu Hafs? He replied: He (the Prophet) had said before you came: If any one of you performs ablution, and does it well, and when he finishes the ablution, he utters the words: I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, He has o associate, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His Servant and His Messenger, all the eight doors of Paradise will be opened for him; he may enter (through) any of them. Muawiyah said: Rabiah bin Yazid narrated this tradition to me from Abu Idris and the authority of Uqbah bin ’Amir.
Hadith 170
Uqbah bin Amir al-JuhanI narrated this tradition from the Prophet ﷺ in a similar way. He did not mention about tending the camels. After the words “and he performed ablution well” he added the words: “he then raises his eyes towards the sky”. He transmitted the tradition conveying the same meaning as that of Muawiyah.
Hadith 580
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who leads the people in prayer, and he does so at the right time, will receive, as well as those who are led (in prayer) will get (the reward). He who delays (prayer) from the appointed time will be responsible (for this delay) and not those who are led in prayer.
Hadith 869
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: When "Glorify the name of your mighty Lord" was revealed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Use it when bowing, and when "Glorify the name of your most high Lord" was revealed, he said: Use it when prostrating yourself.

عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، بِمَعْنَاهُ زَادَ ، قَالَ : " فَكَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَكَعَ ، قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، ثَلَاثًا وَإِذَا سَجَدَ ، قَالَ : سُبْحَانَ رَبِّيَ الْأَعْلَى وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، ثَلَاثًا " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : وَهَذِهِ الزِّيَادَةُ نَخَافُ أَنْ لَا تَكُونَ مَحْفُوظَةً ، قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُد : انْفَرَدَ أَهْلُ مِصْرَ بِإِسْنَادِ هَذَيْنِ الْحَدِيثَيْنِ : حَدِيثِ الرَّبِيعِ وَحَدِيثِ أَحْمَدَ بْنِ يُونُسَ .
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: The above (No 868) tradition has also been reported through a different chain of narrators by Uqbah ibn Amir to the same effect. This version adds: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ bowed, he said: "Glory and praise be to my mighty Lord" three times, and when he prostrated himself, he said: "Glory and praise be to my most high Lord" three times. Abu Dawud said: We are afraid the addition of the word "praise" is not guarded.
Hadith 906
Uqbah. B Amir al-Juhani reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Any one performs ablution and performs the ablution perfectly and then offers two rak’ahs of prayers concentrating on them with his heart and face but paradise will necessarily fall to his lot.
Hadith 1203
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah is pleased with a shepherd of goats who calls to prayer at the peak of a mountain, and offers prayer, Allah, the Exalted, says: Look at this servant of Mine; he calls to prayer and offers it and he fears Me. So I forgive him and admit him to paradise.
Hadith 1333

أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ
عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ الْجُهَنِيِّ ، قَالَ : خَرَجَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَنَحْنُ فِي الصُّفَّةِ ، فَقَالَ : " أَيُّكُمْ يُحِبُّ أَنْ يَغْدُوَ إِلَى بُطْحَانَ ، أَوْ الْعَقِيقِ فَيَأْخُذَ نَاقَتَيْنِ كَوْمَاوَيْنِ زَهْرَاوَيْنِ بِغَيْرِ إِثْمٍ بِاللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَلَا قَطْعِ رَحِمٍ ؟ " قَالُوا : كُلُّنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، قَالَ : " فَلَأَنْ يَغْدُوَ أَحَدُكُمْ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ فَيَتَعَلَّمَ آيَتَيْنِ مِنْ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ نَاقَتَيْنِ ، وَإِنْ ثَلَاثٌ فَثَلَاثٌ مِثْلُ أَعْدَادِهِنَّ مِنَ الْإِبِلِ " .
Uqbah bin Amir al-Juhani said: When we were in the Suffah, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: Which of you would like to go out every morning to Buthan or Al-'Aqiq and bring two large humped and fat she-camels without being guilty of sin and severing ties of relationship ? They (the people) said: Messenger of Allah, we would all like that. He said: If any one of you goes out in the morning to the mosque and learns two verses of the Book of Allah, the Exalted, it is better for him than two she-camels, and three verses are better for him than three she-camels, and so on than their numbers in camels.

الْقَاسِمِ مَوْلَى مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ
عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : كُنْتُ أَقُودُ بِرَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَاقَتَهُ فِي السَّفَرِ ، فَقَالَ لِي : " يَا عُقْبَةُ ، أَلَا أُعَلِّمُكَ خَيْرَ سُورَتَيْنِ قُرِئَتَا ؟ " فَعَلَّمَنِي : قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ الْفَلَقِ وَ قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِرَبِّ النَّاسِ قَالَ : فَلَمْ يَرَنِي سُرِرْتُ بِهِمَا جِدًّا ، فَلَمَّا نَزَلَ لِصَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ صَلَّى بِهِمَا صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ لِلنَّاسِ ، فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الصَّلَاةِ الْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ ، فَقَالَ : " يَا عُقْبَةُ كَيْفَ رَأَيْتَ ؟ " .
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: I was driving the she-camel of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ during a journey. He said to me: Uqbah, should I not teach you two best surahs ever recited? He then taught me: "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn, " and "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of men. " He did not see me much pleased (by these two surahs). When he alighted for prayer, he led the people in the morning prayer and recited them in prayer. When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he turned to me and said: O Uqbah, how did you see.
Hadith 1463
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: White I was travelling with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ between al-Juhfah and al-Abwa', a wind and intense darkness enveloped us, whereupon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ began to seek refuge in Allah, reciting: "I seek refuge in the Lord of the dawn, " and "I seek refuge in the Lord of men. " He then said: Uqbah, use them when seeking refuge in Allah, for no one can use anything to compare with them for the purpose. Uqbah added: I heard him reciting them when he led the people in prayer.
Hadith 1523
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to recite Muawwidhatan (the last two surahs of the Quran) after every prayer.
Hadith 2117
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: The Prophet ﷺ said to a man: Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so? He said: Yes. He also said to the woman: Would you like me to marry you to so-and-so? She said: Yes. He then married one to the other. The man had sexual intercourse with her, but he did not fix any dower for her, nor did he give anything to her. He was one of those who participated in the expedition to al-Hudaybiyyah. One part of the expedition to al-Hudaybiyyah had a share in Khaybar. When he was nearing his death, he said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married me to so-and-so, and I did not fix a dower for her, nor did I give anything to her. I call upon you as witness that I have given my share in Khaybar as her dower. So she took the share and sold it for one lakh (of dirhams). Abu Dawud said: The version of Umar bin al-Khattab added in the beginning of this tradition, and his version is more perfect. He reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The best marriage is the one that is most easy. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the man. The narrator then transmitted the rest of the tradition to the same effect. Abu Dawud said: I am afraid this tradition has been added later on, for the matter is otherwise.
Hadith 2139
Uqbah bin Amir reported the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying “The condition worthier to be fulfilled by you is the one by which you made the private parts (of your wife) lawful (for you).
Hadith 2419
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: The Prophet ﷺ said: The day of Arafah, the day of sacrifice, the days of tashriq are (the days of) our festival, O people of Islam. These are the days of eating and drinking.

عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يُدْخِلُ بِالسَّهْمِ الْوَاحِدِ ثَلَاثَةَ نَفَرٍ الْجَنَّةَ صَانِعَهُ يَحْتَسِبُ فِي صَنْعَتِهِ الْخَيْرَ وَالرَّامِيَ بِهِ ، وَمُنْبِلَهُ وَارْمُوا وَارْكَبُوا ، وَأَنْ تَرْمُوا أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنْ أَنْ تَرْكَبُوا ، لَيْسَ مِنَ اللَّهْوِ إِلَّا ثَلَاثٌ : تَأْدِيبُ الرَّجُلِ فَرَسَهُ ، وَمُلَاعَبَتُهُ أَهْلَهُ ، وَرَمْيُهُ بِقَوْسِهِ وَنَبْلِهِ ، وَمَنْ تَرَكَ الرَّمْيَ بَعْدَ مَا عَلِمَهُ رَغْبَةً عَنْهُ فَإِنَّهَا نِعْمَةٌ تَرَكَهَا أَوْ قَالَ كَفَرَهَا " .
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Allah, Most High, will cause three persons to enter Paradise for one arrow: the maker when he has a good motive in making it, the one who shoots it, and the one who hands it; so shoot and ride, but your shooting is dearer to me than your riding. Everything with which a man amuses himself is vain except three (things): a man's training of his horse, his playing with his wife, and his shooting with his bow and arrow. If anyone abandons archery after becoming an adept through distaste for it, it is a blessing he has abandoned; or he said: for which he has been ungrateful.
Hadith 2514
Uqabah bin Amir Al Juhani said “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recite when he was on the pulpit “Against them make ready your strength to the utmost of your power. Beware, strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting, beware strength is shooting. ”
Hadith 2937
Narrated Uqbah ibn Amir: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: One who wrongfully takes an extra tax (sahib maks) will not enter Paradise.

Narrated Uqbah bin Amir: There were three times at which the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to forbid us to pray or bury our dead - when the sun begins to rise till it is fully up, when the sun is at its height midway till it passes the meridian, and when the sun draws near to setting till it sets, or as he said.

Narrated Uqbah bin Amir: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: The atonement for a vow is the same as for an oath. Abu Dawud said: This tradition has also been transmitted by Amr bin al-Harith from Kab bin Alqamah, from Ibn Shamasah on the authority of Uqbah.

Uqbah bin Amir said: we said: Messenger of Allah! You send us out and we come to people who do not give hospitality, so what is your opinion? The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you come to people who order for you what is fitting for a guest, accept it; but if they do not, take from them what is fitting for them to give to a guest. Abu Dawud said: And this is an authority for a man to take a thing if it is due to him.
