Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well, on it there
was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abi Quhafa (i.e. Abu
Bakr) took the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weak –

ness in his drawing the water. May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into
a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattab took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst
the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and
watered their camels that knelt down there.”

Volume 5, Book 57, Number 18:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “Anybody who spends a pair of something in Allah’s Cause will be
called from all the gates of Paradise, “O Allah’s slave! This is good.’ He who is amongst those who
pray will be called from the gate of the prayer (in Paradise) and he who is from the people of Jihad
will be called from the gate of Jihad, and he who is from those’ who give in charity (i.e. Zakat) will be
called from the gate of charity, and he who is amongst those who observe fast will be called from the
gate of fasting, the gate of Raiyan.” Abu Bakr said, “He who is called from all those gates will need
nothing,” He added, “Will anyone be called from all those gates, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “Yes, and
I hope you will be among those, O Abu Bakr.”

Volume 5, Book 57, Number 15:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “While a shepherd was amongst his sheep, a wolf attacked them and
took away one sheep. When the shepherd chased the wolf, the wolf turned towards him and said,
‘Who will be its guard on the day of wild animals when nobody except I will be its shepherd. And
while a man was driving a cow with a load on it, it turned towards him and spoke to him saying, ‘I
have not been created for this purpose, but for ploughing.” The people said, “Glorified be Allah.” The
Prophet said, “But I believe in it and so does Abu Bakr end ‘Umar.”

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 839:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, “A horse may be kept for one of three purposes: for a man it may be a source of
reward; for another it may be a means of living; and for a third it may be a burden (a source of com –
mitting sins). As for the one for whom it is a source of reward, he is the one who keeps his horse for
the sake of Jihad in Allah’s Cause; he ties it with a long rope on a pasture or in a garden. So whatever
its rope allows it to eat, will be regarded as good rewardable deeds (for its owner). And if it breaks off
its rope and jumps over one or two hillocks, even its dung will be considered amongst his good
deeds. And if it passes by a river and drinks water from it, that will be considered as good deeds for
his benefit) even if he has had no intention of watering it. A horse is a shelter for the one who keeps
it so that he may earn his living honestly and takes it as a refuge to keep him from following illegal
ways (of gaining money), and does not forget the rights of Allah (i.e. paying the Zakat and allowing
others to use it for Allah’s Sake). But a horse is a burden (and a source of committing sins for him
who keeps it out of pride and pretense and with the intention of harming the Muslims.”
The Prophet was asked about donkeys. He replied, “Nothing has been revealed to be concerning
them except this comprehensive Verse (which covers everything) :–‘Then whosoever has done good

equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ant), Shall see it (its reward) And whosoever has done evil
equal to the weight of an atom (or a small ) ant), Shall see it (Its punishment).” (99.7-8)

Volume 4, Book 56, Number 841:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! I hear many narrations from you but I forget them.” He said, “Spread
your covering sheet.” I spread my sheet and he moved both his hands as if scooping something and
emptied them in the sheet and said, “Wrap it.” I wrapped it round my body, and since then I have ne –
ver forgotten a single Hadith.
