1- 475- On the authority of Jareer who said: I came to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- while he was being given allegiance, so I said: O Messenger of Allaah! Give me your hand so I can give you my allegiance, make it conditional because you know best.

The Messenger said: ‘I take your allegiance that you will worship Allaah, establish the prayer, give the Zakah, give advice to the Muslims and separate from the Mushrik.

2- 476 – On the authority of al-Mattlab bin Abdullaah bin Hantab, on the authority of Abdullaah bin ‘Amr who said the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- climbed the Mimbar and said: ‘I do not swear, I do not swear, I do not swear.’ Then he came down and said: ‘Have glad tidings, have glad tidings; verily whoever prays the five prayers and keeps away from the major sins enters into Paradise from any door he wishes.’

Al-Mattlab said: I heard a man ask Abdullaah bin ‘Amr did you hear the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- mention them? He said: ‘Yes, disobedience to parents, committing Shirk with Allaah, killing a human, falsely accusing a chaste woman, eating up the wealth of an orphan, retreating from a battle and eating up interest.’

3- 477 – On the authority of Abdullaah bin ‘Amr who said: We prayed the Maghrib prayer with the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, some people left and some remained. The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- came quickly and his breathing had become rapid and his knees had become uncovered and he said: ‘Have glad tidings; your Lord has opened a door from the doors of Heaven, for which the Angels compete with you. Then Allaah says: Look at My slaves, they have just completed the obligatory prayer and they are waiting for the next one.’

4- 479- On the authority of Abu Idrees al-Kholaani, who said: I was in a gathering of the Companions of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- and amongst them was Ubaadah bin as-Saamit. The Witr prayer was mentioned, some of them said that it was obligatory and some of them said it was Sunnah.

Ubaadah bin as-Saamit said: ‘As for me then I testify that I heard the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- say: ‘Jibraeel – alayhi Sallam- came from Allaah – Tabaraka wa Ta’ala – and said: O Muhammad! Indeed Allaah – Azza wa Jal - has said to you: Verily I have made five prayers obligatory upon your Ummah; whoever fulfils them with its Wudu, its timing and Sujood (prostration) then he has made with it a contract with Me that I will enter him into Paradise due to it. Whoever meets Me and some of it is deficient - or a word similar to it – then he does not have a contract with Me, if I want I will punish him and if I want I will have mercy on him.

9- 490 – On the authority of Talq bin ‘Alee who said: We set out as dignitaries to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, six dignitaries, five from Bani Hanifa and a man from Bani Dabee’ah bin Rabia’tu. When we reached him, we gave our allegiance to him and prayed with him. We informed him that in our country we had a temple for worship and we requested from the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- the water which remained and fell from him after performing Wudu.

So the Prophet called for some water, made Wudu and gargled then poured it into the vessel and commanded us saying: ‘Go now, when you reach your country break your temple and sprinkle this water in its place and take it as a place of prayer (Masjid).

They said: Indeed the place is far away, the weather is severely hot and the water will dry up.

He answered: Pour some of this water into other water as it will not increase it except in goodness.’

As we were going, we argued as to who would carry the water container. So, the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- deputed between us, that every man from amongst us would carry it for a day and night. When we reached our country we broke our temple then sprinkled the water in its place, we took it as a Masjid and then called the Adhaan in that place. There was a monk who was a man from a place called Tee’ and when he heard the Adhaan he said: ‘This is a truthful call.’ Then he faced a stream from amongst our streams which ran from the top of the valley and we never saw him again.’
