Awf and said: 'You were delayed from me among my companions until I feared that you had perished and drowned in a severe drowning, so I said: What delayed you?' He said: 'O Messenger of God, because of the abundance of my wealth, I was kept standing for reckoning, being asked about my wealth: from where did I earn it? And on what did I spend it?' Abd al-Rahman wept and said: 'O Messenger of God, these are one hundred camels that came to me tonight from the merchants of Egypt; I call upon you to witness that they are for the people of Madinah and their children, so that perhaps God may lighten for me on that Day.'"

✧ While we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, a young boy came to him and said, 'May my father be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah. I am an orphan boy, and I have an orphan sister and a widowed mother. Feed us; may Allah give you from what He has until you are pleased.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'How well you have spoken, O boy. Go to our family and bring us whatever food you find with them.' Bilal brought twenty-one dates and placed them in the palm of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ gestured with his palms toward his mouth over the dates, and we thought he was supplicating for blessing upon the dates. Then he said, 'O boy, seven for you, seven for your mother, and seven for your sister. Dine with one date and lunch with another.' When the boy left the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, Mu'adh b. Jabal stood up to him, placed his hand on his head, and said, 'May Allah mend your orphanhood and make you a successor of your father.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'You saw what I did with the boy, O Mu'adh.' He replied, 'O Messenger of Allah, mercy for the boy.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, 'By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one among the Muslims takes charge of an orphan and treats him well, except that Allah grants him for every hair a degree, gives him for every hair a good deed, and expiates from him for every hair an evil deed.'

✧ The Prophet ﷺ used to lead us in the noon prayer when the sun had passed its zenith, and if a seed were placed on the hot ground it would have been cooked. Then he would lengthen the first rak'ah, remaining standing and reciting until we heard the sound of the people's sandals [shifting]. Then he would bow, then stand for the second rak'ah, which was shorter than the first. Then he would make the third rak'ah shorter than the second, and the fourth shorter than the third. Then he would pray the afternoon prayer while the sun was still white and clear, enough time for a traveler to travel two or three farsakhs. He would lengthen the first rak'ah of the afternoon prayer and make the second shorter than the first. He would pray the sunset prayer when a person would say, 'Has the sun set or not?' He would lengthen the first rak'ah of the sunset prayer and make the second shorter than the first, and the third shorter than the second. And he would delay the last evening prayer a little.

✧ Yazid b. Mu'awiyah sent me to 'Abdullah b. Abi Awfa. I arrived with some people from the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asked, 'What do you command the people to do?' He said, 'Abu al-Qasim ﷺ advised me that if I encounter any of this [civil strife], I should go to no one, break my sword, and sit in my house. If someone enters upon me in my house, he said, "Sit in your private chamber. If someone enters upon you there, kneel on your knees." And he said, "Bear your sin and my sin, and you will be among the companions of the Fire, and that is the recompense of the wrongdoers."' So I have broken my sword. If someone enters upon me in my house, I will enter my private chamber. If someone enters upon me in my private chamber, I will kneel on my knees and say what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ commanded me to say.
