Hadith of Abu Qatadah al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him)

حَدِيثُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ الْأَنْصَارِيِّ (١)، ١٩٤١٨ - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ يَعْنِي الصَّوَّافَ بْنَ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، وَأَبِي سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ " قَالَ: كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يُصَلِّي بِنَا، فَيَقْرَأُ فِي الظُّهْرِ وَالْعَصْرِ فِي الرَّكْعَتَيْنِ الْأُولَيَيْنِ: بِفَاتِحَةِ الْكِتَابِ وَسُورَتَيْنِ، وَيُسْمِعُنَا الْآيَةَ أَحْيَانًا، وَكَانَ يُطَوِّلُ فِي الرَّكْعَةِ الْأُولَى مِنَ الظُّهْرِ، وَيُقَصِّرُ فِي الثَّانِيَةِ، وَكَذَلِكَ فِي الصُّبْحِ " (٢)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) led us in prayer, in the first two rak'ahs of Zuhr and Asr, he would recite Surah Al-Fatihah and any two other surahs, and sometimes he would recite a verse aloud so that we could hear it. He would make the first rak'ah of Zuhr relatively long and the second rak'ah shorter. He would do the same in the Fajr prayer as well.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عَدِيٍّ، عَنِ الْحَجَّاجِ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " " إِذَا شَرِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ، فَلَا يَتَنَفَّسْ فِي الْإِنَاءِ، وَإِذَا دَخَلَ الْخَلَاءَ، فَلَا يَتَمَسَّحْ بِيَمِينِهِ، وَإِذَا بَالَ، فَلَا يَمَسَّ ذَكَرَهُ بِيَمِينِهِ " " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (ﷺ) said: When any one of you drinks something, he should not breathe into the vessel; when he enters the toilet, he should not clean himself with his right hand; and when he urinates, he should not touch his private part with his right hand.

قَالَ يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ: حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: " إِذَا أَكَلَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يَأْكُلْ بِشِمَالِهِ، وَإِذَا شَرِبَ فَلَا يَشْرَبْ بِشِمَالِهِ، وَإِذَا أَخَذَ فَلَا يَأْخُذْ بِشِمَالِهِ، وَإِذَا أَعْطَى فَلَا يُعْطِي بِشِمَالِهِ " (١)، ،

It is narrated mursal from Abdullah bin Abi Talha, may Allah have mercy on him, that the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: When any one of you eats food, he should not eat with his left hand; when he drinks, he should not drink with his left hand; when he holds something, he should not hold it with his left hand; and when he gives something, he should not give it with his left hand.
