Volume 8, Book 76, Number 527:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, “The (planet of) earth will be a bread on the Day of Resurrection, and The resist –
ible (Allah) will topple turn it with His Hand like anyone of you topple turns a bread with his hands
while (preparing the bread) for a journey, and that bread will be the entertainment for the people of
Paradise.” A man from the Jews came (to the Prophet) and said, “May The Beneficent (Allah) bless
you, O Abul Qasim! Shall I tell you of the entertainment of the people of Paradise on the Day of Re –
surrection?” The Prophet said, “Yes.” The Jew said, “The earth will be a bread,” as the Prophet had said.
Thereupon the Prophet looked at us and smiled till his premolar tooth became visible. Then the Jew
further said, “Shall I tell you of the udm (additional food taken with bread) they will have with the

bread?” He added, “That will be Balam and Nun.” The people asked, “What is that?” He said, “It is an
ox and a fish, and seventy thousand people will eat of the caudate lobe (i.e. extra lobe) of their livers.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 501:
Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri:
A bedouin came to the Prophet and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Who is the best of mankind!” The
Prophet said, “A man who strives for Allah’s Cause with his life and property, and also a man who
lives (all alone) in a mountain path among the mountain paths to worship his Lord and save the
people from his evil.”
Volume 8, Book 76, Number 435:
Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri:
Allah’s Apostle said, “The thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which
Allah will bring forth to you.” It was said, “What are the blessings of this world?” The Prophet said,
“The pleasures of the world.” A man said, “Can the good bring forth evil?” The Prophet kept quiet for
a while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from
his forehead and said,” Where is the questioner?” That man said, “I (am present).” Abu Sa’id added:
We thanked the man when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet said, “Good never
brings forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegeta –
tion which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of
it, except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach
is full and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes
to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal
way and spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he
will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 369:
Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri:
We said, “O Allah’s Apostle This is (i.e. we know) the greeting to you; will you tell us how to send
Salat on you?” He said, “Say: ‘Allahumma Salli ‘ala Muhammadin ‘abdika wa rasulika kama sal-laita
‘ala Ibrahima wa barik ‘ala Muhammadin wa all Muhammadin kama barakta ‘ala Ibrahima wa Ali
Ibrahim.”
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 300:
Narrated Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet forbade two kinds of dresses and two kinds of bargains; Ishtimal As-Samma and Al-
Ihtiba in one garment with no part of it covering one’s private parts. (The two kinds of bargains
were:) Al-Mulamasa and Al-Munabadha.
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 262:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
While I was present in one of the gatherings of the Ansar, Abu Musa came as if he was scared, and
said, “I asked permission to enter upon ‘Umar three times, but I was not given the permission, so I re –
turned.” (When ‘Umar came to know about it) he said to Abu Musa, “Why did you not enter?’. Abu
Musa replied, “I asked permission three times, and I was not given it, so I returned, for Allah’s Apostle
said, “If anyone of you asks the permission to enter thrice, and the permission is not given, then he
should return.’ ” ‘Umar said, “By Allah! We will ask Abu Musa to bring witnesses for it.” (Abu Musa
went to a gathering of the Ansar and said). “Did anyone of you hear this from the Prophet ?” Ubai bin
Ka’b said, “By Allah, none will go with you but the youngest of the people (as a witness).” (Abu Said)
was the youngest of them, so I went with Abu Musa and informed ‘Umar that the Prophet had said
so. (See Hadith No. 277, Vol. 3)
Volume 8, Book 74, Number 248:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
The Prophet said, ‘Beware! Avoid sitting on the roads.” They (the people) said, “O Allah s Apostle!
We can’t help sitting (on the roads) as these are (our places) here we have talks.” The Prophet said, ‘ l
f you refuse but to sit, then pay the road its right ‘ They said, “What is the right of the road, O Allah’s
Apostle?” He said, ‘Lowering your gaze, refraining from harming others, returning greeting, and en –
joining what is good, and forbidding what is evil.”

Volume 8, Book 73, Number 184:
Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri:
While the Prophet was distributing (war booty etc.) one day, Dhul Khawaisira, a man from the
tribe of Bani Tamim, said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Act justly.” The Prophets said, “Woe to you! Who else
would act justly if I did not act justly?” ‘Umar said (to the Prophet ), “Allow me to chop his neck off.”
The Prophet said, “No, for he has companions (who are apparently so pious that) if anyone of (you
compares his prayer with) their prayer, he will consider his prayer inferior to theirs, and similarly
his fasting inferior to theirs, but they will desert Islam (go out of religion) as an arrow goes through
the victim’s body (games etc.) in which case if its Nasl is examined nothing will be seen thereon, and
if its Nady is examined, nothing will be seen thereon, and if its Qudhadh is examined, nothing will
be seen thereon, for the arrow has gone out too fast even for the excretions and blood to smear over
it. Such people will come out at the time of difference among the (Muslim) people and the sign by
which they will be recognized, will be a man whose one of the two hands will look like the breast of
a woman or a lump of flesh moving loosely.” Abu Said added, “I testify that I heard that from the
Prophet and also testify that I was with ‘Ali when ‘Ali fought against those people. The man described
by the Prophet was searched for among the killed, and was found, and he was exactly as the Prophet
had described him.” (See Hadith No. 807, Vol. 4)
