Narrated Abu Musa:The Prophet (ﷺ) said, ""The example of guidance and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard and held the rain water and Allah benefited the people with it and they utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through me (the Prophet) and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's guidance revealed through me (He is like that barren land)

After the prayer, the Prophet (ﷺ) praised and glorified Allah and then said, ""Just now at this place I have seen what I have never seen before, including Paradise and Hell. No doubt it has been inspired to me that you will be put to trials in your graves and these trials will be like the trials of Masih-ad-Dajjal or nearly like it (the sub narrator is not sure which expression Asma' used). You will be asked, 'What do you know about this man (the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ))?' Then the faithful believer (or Asma' said a similar word) will reply, 'He is Muhammad Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) who had come to us with clear evidences and guidance and so we accepted his teachings and followed him. And he is Muhammad.' And he will repeat it thrice. Then the angels will say to him, 'Sleep in peace as we have come to know that you were a faithful believer.'

He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone, the Honorable the Majestic and said to them, ""Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?"" They replied, ""Allah and His Apostle know better."" Thereupon the Prophet (ﷺ) said, ""(That means to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay Zakat, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan, (and) to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's cause).""

He said, ""Today a great thing has happened."" I then went to Hafsa and saw her weeping. I asked her, ""Did Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) divorce you all?"" She replied, ""I do not know."" Then, I entered upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and said while standing, ""Have you divorced your wives?"" The Prophet (ﷺ) replied in the negative. On that I said, ""Allahu-Akbar (Allah is Greater)."" (See Hadith No. 119, Vol. 3 for details)

Narrated Abu Mas`ud Al-Ansari:Once a man said to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) ""O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! I may not attend the (compulsory congregational) prayer because so and so (the Imam) prolongs the prayer when he leads us for it.
