Narrated Ziyad bin’Ilaqa:
I heard Jarir bin ‘Abdullah (Praising Allah). On the day when Al-Mughira bin Shu’ba died, he
(Jarir) got up (on the pulpit) and thanked and praised Allah and said, “Be afraid of Allah alone Who
has none along with Him to be worshipped.(You should) be calm and quiet till the (new) chief comes
to you and he will come to you soon. Ask Allah’s forgiveness for your (late) chief because he himself
loved to forgive others.” Jarir added, “Amma badu (now then), I went to the Prophet and said, ‘I give
my pledge of allegiance to you for Islam.” The Prophet conditioned (my pledge) for me to be sincere
and true to every Muslim so I gave my pledge to him for this. By the Lord of this mosque! I am sin –
cere and true to you (Muslims). Then Jarir asked for Allah’s forgiveness and came down (from the
pulpit).

Once the Prophet came while a woman was sitting with me. He said, “Who is she?” I replied, “She
is so and so,” and told him about her (excessive) praying. He said disapprovingly, “Do (good) deeds
which is within your capacity (without being overtaxed) as Allah does not get tired (of giving re –
wards) but (surely) you will get tired and the best deed (act of Worship) in the sight of Allah is that
which is done regularly.”

Once a Jew said to me, “O the chief of believers! There is a verse in your Holy Book Which is read
by all of you (Muslims), and had it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it
was revealed as a day of celebration.” ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, “Which is that verse?” The Jew
replied, “This day I have perfected your religion For you, completed My favor upon you, And have
chosen for you Islam as your religion.” (5:3) ‘Umar replied,”No doubt, we know when and where this
verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet was standing at ‘Arafat (i.e. the Day
of Hajj)”

A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allah’s Apostle and we heard his loud voice but
could not understand what he was saying, till he came near and then we came to know that he was
asking about Islam. Allah’s Apostle said, “You have to offer prayers perfectly five times in a day and
night (24 hours).” The man asked, “Is there any more (praying)?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “No, but if
you want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can).” Allah’s Apostle further said to him: “You have to
observe fasts during the month of Ramad, an.” The man asked, “Is there any more fasting?” Allah’s
Apostle replied, “No, but if you want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)” Then Allah’s Apostle fur –
ther said to him, “You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity).” The man asked, “Is there any thing
other than the Zakat for me to pay?” Allah’s Apostle replied, “No, unless you want to give alms of
your own.” And then that man retreated saying, “By Allah! I will neither do less nor more than this.”

but what about the murdered one?’ Allah’s Apostle replied, “He surely had the intention to kill his
companion.”
