Volume 8, Book 78, Number 669:
Narrated Abu Musa:
My companions sent me to the Prophet to ask him for some mounts. He said, “By Allah! I will not
mount you on anything!” When I met him, he was in an angry mood, but when I met him (again), he
said, “Tell your companions that Allah or Allah’s Apostle will provide you with mounts.”
Volume 8, Book 78, Number 620:
Narrated Abu Musa:
I went to the Prophet along with a group of Al-Ash’ariyin in order to request him to provide us
with mounts. He said, “By Allah, I will not provide you with mounts and I haven’t got anything to
mount you on.” Then we stayed there as long as Allah wished us to stay, and then three very nice
looking she-camels were brought to him and he made us ride them. When we left, we, or some of us,
said, “By Allah, we will not be blessed, as we came to the Prophet asking him for mounts, and he
swore that he would not give us any mounts but then he did give us. So let us go back to the Prophet
and remind him (of his oath).” When we returned to him (and reminded him of the fact), he said, “I
did not give you mounts, but it is Allah Who gave you. By Allah, Allah willing, if I ever take an oath
to do something and then I find something else than the first, I will make expiation for my oath and
do the thing which is better (or do something which is better and give the expiation for my oath).”
Volume 8, Book 77, Number 607:
Narrated Abu Musa:
While we were with Allah’s Apostle in a holy battle, we never went up a hill or reached its peak or
went down a valley but raised our voices with Takbir. Allah’s Apostle came close to us and said, “O
people! Don’t exert yourselves, for you do not call a deaf or an absent one, but you call the All-
Listener, the All-Seer.” The Prophet then said, “O ‘Abdullah bin Qais! Shall I teach you a sentence
which is from the treasures of Paradise? ( It is): ‘La haula wala quwata illa billah. (There is neither
might nor power except with Allah).”

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 515:

Volume 8, Book 76, Number 489:
Narrated Abu Musa:
Allah’s Apostle said. “My example and the example of the message with which Allah has sent me is
like that of a man who came to some people and said, “I have seen with my own eyes the enemy
forces, and I am a naked warner (to you) so save yourself, save yourself! A group of them obeyed him
and went out at night, slowly and stealthily and were safe, while another group did not believe him
and thus the army took them in the morning and destroyed them.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 416:
Narrated Abu Musa: The Prophet said, “The example of the one who celebrates the Praises of his
Lord (Allah) in comparison to the one who does not celebrate the Praises of his Lord, is that of a liv –
ing creature compared to a dead one.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 407:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet used to invoke Allah with the following invocation: ‘Rabbi-ghfir-li Khati ‘ati wa jahli
wa israfi fi amri kullihi, wa ma anta a’lamu bihi minni. Allahumma ighfirli khatayaya wa ‘amdi, wa
jahli wa jiddi, wa kullu dhalika’indi. Allahumma ighrifli ma qaddamtu wa ma akhartu wa ma as –
rartu wa ma a’lantu. Anta-l-muqaddimu wa anta-l-mu’akh-khiru, wa anta ‘ala kulli shai’in qadir.’
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 392:
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet asked for some water and performed the ablution, and then raised his hands (towards
the sky) and said, “O Allah! Forgive ‘Ubaid Abi ‘Amir.” I saw the whiteness of his armpits (while he
was raising his hands) and he added, “O Allah! Upgrade him over many of Your human creatures on
the Day of Resurrection “
