لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ بِالصُّرَعَةِ، إِنَّمَا الشَّدِيدُ الَّذِي يَمْلِكُ نَفْسَهُ عِنْدَ الْغَضَبِ

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The strong is not the one who overcomes the people by his strength, but the strong is the one who controls himself while in anger."

إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ صِدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا

Narrated 'Abdullah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to wickedness (Al-Fajur), and wickedness leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on telling lies till he is written before Allah as a liar."

مَا مِنْ شَىْءٍ أَثْقَلُ فِي الْمِيزَانِ مِنْ حُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ

Narrated AbudDarda': The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "There is nothing heavier than good character put in the scale of a believer on the Day of Resurrection."

الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden."

مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلاَ يُؤْذِ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should not hurt his neighbor; and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should serve his guest generously; and whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, should speak what is good or keep silent."

الْحَيَاءُ لاَ يَأْتِي إِلاَّ بِخَيْرٍ. فَقَالَ بُشَيْرُ بْنُ كَعْبٍ: مَكْتُوبٌ فِي الْحِكْمَةِ إِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ وَقَارًا وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْحَيَاءِ سَكِينَةً. فَقَالَ لَهُ عِمْرَانُ: أُحَدِّثُكَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتُحَدِّثُنِي عَنْ صَحِيفَتِكَ

Narrated Abu As-Sawar Al-Adawi: 'Imran bin Husain said, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Haya' (pious shyness) does not bring anything except good." Thereupon Bashir bin Ka'b said, "It is written in the wisdom paper: Haya' leads to solemnity; Haya' leads to tranquility (peace of mind)." 'Imran said to him, "I am narrating to you the saying of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and you are speaking about your paper (wisdom book)?"

أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْغِيبَةُ؟ قَالُوا: اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ. قَالَ: ذِكْرُكَ أَخَاكَ بِمَا يَكْرَهُ. قِيلَ: أَفَرَأَيْتَ إِنْ كَانَ فِي أَخِي مَا أَقُولُ؟ قَالَ: إِنْ كَانَ فِيهِ مَا تَقُولُ فَقَدِ اغْتَبْتَهُ وَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِيهِ فَقَدْ بَهَتَّهُ

Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: "Do you know what is backbiting?" They (the Companions) said: Allah and His Messenger know best. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: "Backbiting implies your talking about your brother in a manner which he does not like." It was said to him: What is your opinion if I actually find (that failing) in my brother which I made mention of? He said: "If (that failing) is actually found (in him) what you assert, you in fact backbited him, and if that is not in him it is a slander."

أَدِّ الأَمَانَةَ إِلَى مَنِ ائْتَمَنَكَ وَلاَ تَخُنْ مَنْ خَانَكَ

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Pay the deposit to him who deposited it with you, and do not betray him who betrays you."

اتَّقِ اللَّهَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ وَأَتْبِعِ السَّيِّئَةَ الْحَسَنَةَ تَمْحُهَا وَخَالِقِ النَّاسَ بِخُلُقٍ حَسَنٍ

Tamim al-Dari reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The religion is sincere counsel." We said: "For whom?" He said: "For Allah, for His Book, for His Messenger, for the leaders of the Muslims, and for their common people."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى أَجْسَامِكُمْ وَلاَ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Verily, Allah does not look at your bodies, nor at your faces, but He looks at your hearts and your deeds."

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No one will enter Paradise who has even a mustard seed of arrogance in his heart." A man asked, "What about a man who likes his clothes to be nice and his shoes to be nice?" He ﷺ replied, "Verily Allah is beautiful and He loves beauty. Arrogance means rejecting the truth and looking down on people."

أَنَّ رَجُلاً قَالَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَوْصِنِي قَالَ لاَ تَغْضَبْ فَرَدَّدَ مِرَارًا قَالَ لاَ تَغْضَبْ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, 'Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock. The leader of people is a shepherd and is responsible for his subjects. A man is the shepherd of his family and is responsible for them. A woman is the shepherd of her husband's home and of his children and is responsible for them. The servant is a shepherd of his master's property and is responsible for it. Every one of you is a shepherd and is responsible for his flock.'

آيَةُ الْمُنَافِقِ ثَلاَثٌ إِذَا حَدَّثَ كَذَبَ وَإِذَا وَعَدَ أَخْلَفَ وَإِذَا اؤْتُمِنَ خَانَ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The signs of a hypocrite are three: when he speaks, he lies; when he makes a promise, he breaks it; and when he is entrusted, he betrays.'

لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلاَ اللَّعَّانِ وَلاَ الْفَاحِشِ وَلاَ الْبَذِيءِ

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Indeed, from the exaltation due to Allah is honouring an aged Muslim, honouring the one who carries the Quran without going to extremes in it or abandoning it, and honouring a just ruler.'

إِيَّاكُمْ وَالظَّنَّ فَإِنَّ الظَّنَّ أَكْذَبُ الْحَدِيثِ وَلَا تَحَسَّسُوا وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا تَنَافَسُوا وَلَا تَحَاسَدُوا وَلَا تَبَاغَضُوا وَلَا تَدَابَرُوا وَكُونُوا عِبَادَ اللَّهِ إِخْوَانًا

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'Beware of suspicion, for suspicion is the worst form of lying.

Be, O servants of Allah, brothers.'

Narrated An-Nawwas ibn Sam'an (RA): I asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW) about righteousness and sin. He said, "Righteousness is good character, and sin is what wavers in your chest and you dislike that people should come to know of it."

إِنَّ مِنْ خِيَارِكُمْ أَحْسَنَكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr (RA): The Prophet (SAW) never used bad language, nor did he speak obscenely. He used to say, "The best amongst you are those who have the best manners and character."

أَنَا زَعِيمٌ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ الْمِرَاءَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُحِقًّا وَبِبَيْتٍ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ تَرَكَ الْكَذِبَ وَإِنْ كَانَ مَازِحًا وَبِبَيْتٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ حَسَّنَ خُلُقَهُ

Narrated Abu Umamah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "I guarantee a house in the surroundings of Paradise for a man who avoids quarrelling even if he were in the right, a house in the middle of Paradise for a man who avoids lying even if he were joking, and a house in the upper part of Paradise for a man who makes his character good."

الْبَيِّعَانِ بِالْخِيَارِ مَا لَمْ يَتَفَرَّقَا ـ أَوْ قَالَ حَتَّى يَتَفَرَّقَا ـ فَإِنْ صَدَقَا وَبَيَّنَا بُورِكَ لَهُمَا فِي بَيْعِهِمَا، وَإِنْ كَتَمَا وَكَذَبَا مُحِقَتْ بَرَكَةُ بَيْعِهِمَا

Narrated Hakim ibn Hizam (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The seller and the buyer have the option [to cancel] as long as they have not parted. If both spoke the truth and made things clear, they will be blessed in their transaction; but if they concealed and lied, the blessing of their transaction will be wiped out."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ أَوْحَى إِلَىَّ أَنْ تَوَاضَعُوا حَتَّى لاَ يَبْغِيَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ وَلاَ يَفْخَرَ أَحَدٌ عَلَى أَحَدٍ

Narrated Iyad ibn Himar (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Allah has revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one oppresses another and no one boasts over another."

Narrated Al-Aswad: I asked Aisha (RA), "What did the Prophet (SAW) use to do in his house?" She replied, "He used to keep himself busy serving his family, and when it was time for prayer he would go out to pray."

الإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسِتُّونَ شُعْبَةً، وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Faith consists of more than sixty branches, and haya [modesty and bashfulness] is a branch of faith."

قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلاً أَشْرَكَ فِيهِ مَعِي غَيْرِي تَرَكْتُهُ وَشِرْكَهُ

مَنْ سَمَّعَ سَمَّعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ، وَمَنْ يُرَائِي يُرَائِي اللَّهُ بِهِ

Narrated Jundub (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever does good deeds to be heard of [by people], Allah will make his true intention heard of; and whoever does good deeds to be seen, Allah will expose his true intention."

إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ لَيَتَكَلَّمُ بِالْكَلِمَةِ مَا يَتَبَيَّنُ فِيهَا، يَزِلُّ بِهَا فِي النَّارِ أَبْعَدَ مِمَّا بَيْنَ الْمَشْرِقِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): He heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "A servant may utter a word without thinking whether it is right or wrong, and because of it he slips into the Fire farther than the distance between the east [and the west]."

مَنْ يَضْمَنْ لِي مَا بَيْنَ لَحْيَيْهِ وَمَا بَيْنَ رِجْلَيْهِ أَضْمَنْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ

Narrated Sahl ibn Sa'd (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whoever can guarantee [the chastity of] what is between his two jaw-bones and what is between his two legs — his tongue and his private parts — I guarantee Paradise for him."

فَإِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الأَمَانَةُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ. قَالَ كَيْفَ إِضَاعَتُهَا قَالَ إِذَا وُسِّدَ الأَمْرُ إِلَى غَيْرِ أَهْلِهِ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): A Bedouin asked the Prophet (SAW) when the Hour would be. The Prophet (SAW) said, "When trust is lost, then wait for the Hour." The Bedouin asked, "How will it be lost?" He said, "When authority is given to those who are not fit for it, then wait for the Hour."

إِذَا غَضِبَ أَحَدُكُمْ وَهُوَ قَائِمٌ فَلْيَجْلِسْ فَإِنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُ الْغَضَبُ وَإِلاَّ فَلْيَضْطَجِعْ

Narrated Abu Dharr (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said to us, "When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down."

تَجِدُ مِنْ شَرِّ النَّاسِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ذَا الْوَجْهَيْنِ، الَّذِي يَأْتِي هَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ وَهَؤُلاَءِ بِوَجْهٍ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "You will find among the worst of people in the sight of Allah on the Day of Resurrection the two-faced person, who comes to some people with one face and to others with another face."

لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ قَتَّاتٌ

Narrated Hudhayfah (RA): I heard the Prophet (SAW) say, "A tale-bearer [one who spreads gossip to cause trouble] will not enter Paradise."

كُلُّ أُمَّتِي مُعَافًى إِلاَّ الْمُجَاهِرِينَ، وَإِنَّ مِنَ الْمَجَانَةِ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ الرَّجُلُ بِاللَّيْلِ عَمَلاً، ثُمَّ يُصْبِحَ وَقَدْ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ، فَيَقُولَ يَا فُلاَنُ عَمِلْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَقَدْ بَاتَ يَسْتُرُهُ رَبُّهُ وَيُصْبِحُ يَكْشِفُ سِتْرَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "All of my Ummah will be pardoned except those who sin openly. Part of that is that a man does a deed at night, Allah conceals it for him, and then in the morning he says, 'O so-and-so, last night I did such-and-such' — his Lord had concealed it overnight, yet in the morning he removes Allah's cover from himself."

إِنَّ مِنْ أَحَبِّكُمْ إِلَىَّ وَأَقْرَبِكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَحَاسِنَكُمْ أَخْلاَقًا وَإِنَّ أَبْغَضَكُمْ إِلَىَّ وَأَبْعَدَكُمْ مِنِّي مَجْلِسًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ الثَّرْثَارُونَ وَالْمُتَشَدِّقُونَ وَالْمُتَفَيْهِقُونَ

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The most beloved of you to me and the nearest to me in seating on the Day of Resurrection are those of you best in character. And the most disliked of you to me and the furthest from me on the Day of Resurrection are the prattlers, the boasters and the mutafayhiqun." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we know the prattlers and the boasters, but who are the mutafayhiqun?" He said, "The arrogant."

وَيْلٌ لِلَّذِي يُحَدِّثُ فَيَكْذِبُ لِيُضْحِكَ بِهِ الْقَوْمَ وَيْلٌ لَهُ وَيْلٌ لَهُ

Narrated Mu'awiyah ibn Haydah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Woe to the one who speaks and lies to make people laugh. Woe to him! Woe to him!"

مَا هَذَا يَا صَاحِبَ الطَّعَامِ. قَالَ أَصَابَتْهُ السَّمَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ أَفَلاَ جَعَلْتَهُ فَوْقَ الطَّعَامِ كَىْ يَرَاهُ النَّاسُ مَنْ غَشَّ فَلَيْسَ مِنِّي

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) passed by a heap of food and put his hand into it, and his fingers became wet. He said, "What is this, O owner of the food?" He said, "It was hit by rain, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Why did you not put it on top so that people could see it? Whoever cheats is not of me."

مَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نَبِيًّا إِلاَّ رَعَى الْغَنَمَ. فَقَالَ أَصْحَابُهُ وَأَنْتَ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ كُنْتُ أَرْعَاهَا عَلَى قَرَارِيطَ لأَهْلِ مَكَّةَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Allah did not send any prophet except that he herded sheep." His companions asked, "And you?" He said, "Yes, I used to herd them for the people of Makkah for a few qirats."

ثَلاَثٌ مَنْ كُنَّ فِيهِ وَجَدَ حَلاَوَةَ الإِيمَانِ أَنْ يَكُونَ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِمَّا سِوَاهُمَا، وَأَنْ يُحِبَّ الْمَرْءَ لاَ يُحِبُّهُ إِلاَّ لِلَّهِ، وَأَنْ يَكْرَهَ أَنْ يَعُودَ فِي الْكُفْرِ كَمَا يَكْرَهُ أَنْ يُقْذَفَ فِي النَّارِ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever has three qualities will taste the sweetness of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than anything else; that he loves a person only for the sake of Allah; and that he hates to return to disbelief as he would hate to be thrown into the Fire."

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ طَيِّبٌ لاَ يَقْبَلُ إِلاَّ طَيِّبًا وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَمَرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِمَا أَمَرَ بِهِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ فَقَالَ { يَا أَيُّهَا الرُّسُلُ كُلُوا مِنَ الطَّيِّبَاتِ وَاعْمَلُوا صَالِحًا إِنِّي بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ عَلِيمٌ} وَقَالَ { يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُلُوا مِنْ طَيِّبَاتِ مَا رَزَقْنَاكُمْ}. ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ الرَّجُلَ يُطِيلُ السَّفَرَ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ يَمُدُّ يَدَيْهِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ يَا رَبِّ يَا رَبِّ وَمَطْعَمُهُ حَرَامٌ وَمَشْرَبُهُ حَرَامٌ وَمَلْبَسُهُ حَرَامٌ وَغُذِيَ بِالْحَرَامِ فَأَنَّى يُسْتَجَابُ لِذَلِكَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "O people, Allah is pure and accepts only what is pure. Allah has commanded the believers with what He commanded the Messengers..." Then he mentioned a man who travels far, dishevelled and dusty, raising his hands to the sky: 'O Lord! O Lord!' — while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful and he has been nourished with the unlawful. "So how can he be answered?"

إِنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ إِلَى امْرَأَةٍ يَنْكِحُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ

Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."

الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا

Abu Malik at-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Lillah fills the scale, and Subhan Allah and al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves."

الدُّعَاءُ هُوَ الْعِبَادَةُ

Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir: from the Prophet (ﷺ) regarding Allah's saying, "Your Lord said: Invoke Me, I shall respond to you" — he said, "The supplication is the worship," then he recited: "Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell in humiliation." (Ghafir 40:60)

مِنْ حُسْنِ إِسْلاَمِ الْمَرْءِ تَرْكُهُ مَا لاَ يَعْنِيهِ

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Indeed among the excellence of a person's Islam is that he leaves what does not concern him."

لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ كُنْتُمْ تَوَكَّلُونَ عَلَى اللَّهِ حَقَّ تَوَكُّلِهِ لَرُزِقْتُمْ كَمَا يُرْزَقُ الطَّيْرُ تَغْدُو خِمَاصًا وَتَرُوحُ بِطَانًا

Umar ibn al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If you were to rely upon Allah with the reliance He is due, He would provide for you just as He provides for the birds: they go out in the morning hungry and return in the evening full."

مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ وَالَّذِي لاَ يَذْكُرُ رَبَّهُ مَثَلُ الْحَىِّ وَالْمَيِّتِ

Abu Musa al-Ash'ari reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The example of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not remember his Lord is like the living and the dead."

كُلُّ عَمَلِ ابْنِ آدَمَ يُضَاعَفُ الْحَسَنَةُ بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ، قَالَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: إِلاَّ الصَّوْمَ فَإِنَّهُ لِي وَأَنَا أَجْزِي بِهِ، يَدَعُ شَهْوَتَهُ وَطَعَامَهُ مِنْ أَجْلِي

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Every deed of the son of Adam is multiplied — a good deed receiving tenfold to seven hundredfold reward — except fasting, for Allah the Almighty says: 'It is for Me and I shall reward it Myself, for he gives up his desire and his food for My sake.'"

أَفْضَلُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ صَلاَةُ اللَّيْلِ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The best prayer after the obligatory prayers is the night prayer (Qiyam al-Layl)."

أَحَبُّ الأَعْمَالِ إِلَى اللَّهِ أَدْوَمُهَا وَإِنْ قَلَّ

Aisha reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The most beloved deeds to Allah are those which are done consistently, even if they are small."

لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَالِدِهِ وَوَلَدِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Prophet ﷺ said, "None of you truly believes until I am more beloved to him than his father, his son, and all of mankind."

اغْتَنِمْ خَمْسًا قَبْلَ خَمْسٍ: شَبَابَكَ قَبْلَ هَرَمِكَ، وَصِحَّتَكَ قَبْلَ سَقَمِكَ، وَغِنَاكَ قَبْلَ فَقْرِكَ، وَفَرَاغَكَ قَبْلَ شُغْلِكَ، وَحَيَاتَكَ قَبْلَ مَوْتِكَ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Take advantage of five things before five others: your youth before your old age, your health before your illness, your wealth before your poverty, your free time before you become occupied, and your life before your death."

اعْقِلْهَا وَتَوَكَّلْ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I tie my camel and then put my trust in Allah, or shall I leave her untied and put my trust in Allah?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "Tie her, then put your trust in Allah."

قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِسْلاَمِ قَالَ الإِسْلاَمُ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَتُقِيمَ الصَّلاَةَ وَتُؤْتِيَ الزَّكَاةَ وَتَصُومَ رَمَضَانَ وَتَحُجَّ الْبَيْتَ إِنِ اسْتَطَعْتَ إِلَيْهِ سَبِيلاً... قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِيمَانِ قَالَ أَنْ تُؤْمِنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلاَئِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الآخِرِ وَتُؤْمِنَ بِالْقَدَرِ خَيْرِهِ وَشَرِّهِ... قَالَ فَأَخْبِرْنِي عَنِ الإِحْسَانِ قَالَ أَنْ تَعْبُدَ اللَّهَ كَأَنَّكَ تَرَاهُ فَإِنْ لَمْ تَكُنْ تَرَاهُ فَإِنَّهُ يَرَاكَ

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA): One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, there appeared before us a man with extremely white clothes and extremely black hair... He placed his knees against his knees and placed his palms on his thighs and said: 'O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhammad is His Messenger, to perform the prayer, to give zakah, to fast Ramadan, and to make pilgrimage to the House if you are able.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'Tell me about Iman.' He said: 'It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in Divine decree, both the good and evil of it.' He said: 'You have spoken the truth.' He said: 'Tell me about Ihsan.' He said: 'It is to worship Allah as if you see Him, and though you do not see Him, He surely sees you.' The Prophet ﷺ later said: 'It was Jibril, who came to teach you your religion.'

سَبْعَةٌ يُظِلُّهُمُ اللَّهُ فِي ظِلِّهِ يَوْمَ لاَ ظِلَّ إِلاَّ ظِلُّهُ الإِمَامُ الْعَادِلُ وَشَابٌّ نَشَأَ بِعِبَادَةِ اللَّهِ وَرَجُلٌ قَلْبُهُ مُعَلَّقٌ بِالْمَسَاجِدِ وَرَجُلاَنِ تَحَابَّا فِي اللَّهِ اجْتَمَعَا عَلَيْهِ وَتَفَرَّقَا عَلَيْهِ وَرَجُلٌ دَعَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ ذَاتُ مَنْصِبٍ وَجَمَالٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أَخَافُ اللَّهَ وَرَجُلٌ تَصَدَّقَ بِصَدَقَةٍ فَأَخْفَاهَا حَتَّى لاَ تَعْلَمَ شِمَالُهُ مَا تُنْفِقُ يَمِينُهُ وَرَجُلٌ ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ خَالِيًا فَفَاضَتْ عَيْنَاهُ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Seven people will be shaded by Allah under His shade on the Day when there will be no shade except His: a just ruler; a young man who grew up in the worship of Allah; a man whose heart is attached to the mosques; two people who love each other for Allah's sake, meeting and parting for His sake; a man who is called by a woman of rank and beauty but says, "I fear Allah"; a man who gives in charity so secretly that his left hand does not know what his right hand gives; and a man who remembers Allah in seclusion and his eyes become tearful.'

كَلِمَتَانِ خَفِيفَتَانِ عَلَى اللِّسَانِ ثَقِيلَتَانِ فِي الْمِيزَانِ حَبِيبَتَانِ إِلَى الرَّحْمَنِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Two words are light on the tongue but heavy on the Scale and dear to the Most Merciful: Subhanallahi wa bihamdih (Glory be to Allah and all praise is due to Him); Subhanallahil-'Azim (Glory be to Allah, the Most Great).'

مَنْ دَلَّ عَلَى خَيْرٍ فَلَهُ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ فَاعِلِهِ

Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever guides someone to goodness will have a reward like one who does it.'

أَقْرَبُ مَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مِنْ رَبِّهِ وَهُوَ سَاجِدٌ فَأَكْثِرُوا الدُّعَاءَ

Abu Huraira (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The servant is nearest to his Lord when he is in prostration, so increase your supplication in it.'

يَا غُلاَمُ إِنِّي أُعَلِّمُكَ كَلِمَاتٍ احْفَظِ اللَّهَ يَحْفَظْكَ احْفَظِ اللَّهَ تَجِدْهُ تُجَاهَكَ إِذَا سَأَلْتَ فَاسْأَلِ اللَّهَ وَإِذَا اسْتَعَنْتَ فَاسْتَعِنْ بِاللَّهِ وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ الأُمَّةَ لَوِ اجْتَمَعَتْ عَلَى أَنْ يَنْفَعُوكَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ يَنْفَعُوكَ إِلاَّ بِشَيْءٍ قَدْ كَتَبَهُ اللَّهُ لَكَ

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported: I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when he said, 'O young man, I shall teach you some words: Be mindful of Allah and He will protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you ask, ask of Allah; when you seek help, seek help from Allah. Know that if all the nations were to gather to benefit you with anything, they would only benefit you with something Allah has already written for you. And if they gathered to harm you, they would only harm you with something Allah has already written against you. The pens have been lifted and the pages have dried.'

مَنْ صَامَ رَمَضَانَ إِيمَانًا وَاحْتِسَابًا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever fasts during Ramadan out of sincere faith and hoping for reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven.'

يَنْزِلُ رَبُّنَا تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا حِينَ يَبْقَى ثُلُثُ اللَّيْلِ الآخِرُ يَقُولُ مَنْ يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ مَنْ يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, 'Our Lord, the Blessed and Superior, comes every night down to the nearest heaven during the last third of the night saying: Is there anyone who invokes Me so that I may respond? Is there anyone who asks Me so that I may give him what he asks? Is there anyone who seeks My forgiveness so that I may forgive him?'

إِذَا تَوَضَّأَ الْعَبْدُ الْمُسْلِمُ أَوِ الْمُؤْمِنُ فَغَسَلَ وَجْهَهُ خَرَجَ مِنْ وَجْهِهِ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ نَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا بِعَيْنَيْهِ مَعَ الْمَاءِ أَوْ مَعَ آخِرِ قَطْرِ الْمَاءِ فَإِذَا غَسَلَ يَدَيْهِ خَرَجَ مِنْ يَدَيْهِ كُلُّ خَطِيئَةٍ كَانَ بَطَشَهَا يَدَاهُ مَعَ الْمَاءِ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ نَقِيًّا مِنَ الذُّنُوبِ

Abu Huraira (RA) reported: Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, 'When a Muslim — or a believer — washes his face in the performance of wudu, every sin which he committed with his eyes is washed away with the water, or with the last drop of water. When he washes his hands, every sin his hands committed comes out with the water, or with the last drop of water, until he finally emerges purified from all his sins.'

رَأْسُ الأَمْرِ الإِسْلاَمُ وَعَمُودُهُ الصَّلاَةُ وَذِرْوَةُ سَنَامِهِ الْجِهَادُ

Mu'adh ibn Jabal (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The head of the matter is Islam; its pillar is the prayer; and its highest point is striving in the way of Allah.'

دَعْوَةُ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ كُلَّمَا دَعَا لأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِهِ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ

Abu al-Darda' (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The supplication of a Muslim for his brother in his absence is answered. Near his head there is an appointed angel, and every time he supplicates for his brother with something good, the angel appointed for him says: Ameen, and may you receive the same.'

مَنْ حَجَّ لِلَّهِ فَلَمْ يَرْفُثْ وَلَمْ يَفْسُقْ رَجَعَ كَيَوْمِ وَلَدَتْهُ أُمُّهُ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever performs Hajj for the sake of Allah and does not have sexual intercourse, nor commits sin, nor disputes unjustly during it, then he returns from Hajj as pure and free from sins as on the day on which his mother gave birth to him.'

مَا مِنْ أَيَّامٍ الْعَمَلُ الصَّالِحُ فِيهَا أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ الأَيَّامِ يَعْنِي أَيَّامَ الْعَشْرِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ قَالَ وَلاَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ خَرَجَ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ فَلَمْ يَرْجِعْ مِنْ ذَلِكَ بِشَيْءٍ

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, 'No good deeds done on other days are superior to those done on the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah.' The Companions said: 'Not even jihad in the way of Allah?' He ﷺ said: 'Not even jihad in the way of Allah, except for a man who goes out with his life and his property and does not return with any of it.'

مَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ فَهُوَ فِي ذِمَّةِ اللَّهِ فَلاَ يَطْلُبَنَّكُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَيْءٍ فَإِنَّهُ مَنْ يَطْلُبْهُ مِنْ ذِمَّتِهِ بِشَيْءٍ يُدْرِكْهُ ثُمَّ يَكُبَّهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ فِي نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ

Jundub ibn Abdullah (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever performs the Fajr prayer is under the protection of Allah. So beware, O son of Adam, that Allah does not hold you accountable for being under His protection. For whoever He holds accountable for it, He will seize him and then throw him on his face into the Hellfire.'

إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ

Narrated al-Bara' ibn 'Azib: The Prophet (SAW) said, 'When you go to bed, perform wudu as you do for prayer, then lie on your right side.'

إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى حَيِيٌّ كَرِيمٌ يَسْتَحِي مِنْ عَبْدِهِ إِذَا رَفَعَ يَدَيْهِ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَرُدَّهُمَا صِفْرًا

Narrated Salman al-Farisi (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'Verily, your Lord — Blessed and Exalted — is Generous and Modest. He is too modest to return the hands of His servant empty when he raises them to Him.'

خَيْرُ يَوْمٍ طَلَعَتْ عَلَيْهِ الشَّمْسُ يَوْمُ الْجُمُعَةِ فِيهِ خُلِقَ آدَمُ وَفِيهِ أُدْخِلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَفِيهِ أُخْرِجَ مِنْهَا وَلَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ إِلَّا فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'The best day on which the sun rises is Friday. On it Adam was created, on it he was admitted to Paradise, and on it he was expelled from it. And the Hour will not be established except on a Friday.'

رَكْعَتَا الْفَجْرِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا

Narrated 'Aisha (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'The two rak'ahs of Fajr are better than the world and all that it contains.'

مَنْ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللَّهَ يَغْضَبْ عَلَيْهِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Whoever does not ask Allah, Allah becomes angry with him.'

أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ قَدْ فَرَضَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكُمُ الْحَجَّ فَحُجُّوا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَكُلَّ عَامٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَسَكَتَ حَتَّى قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا فَقَالَ لَوْ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ لَوَجَبَتْ وَلَمَا اسْتَطَعْتُمْ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'O people, Allah has made Hajj obligatory for you, so perform it.' A man said, 'Every year, O Messenger of Allah?' He remained silent until he asked three times, then said, 'If I had said yes, it would become obligatory and you would not be able to do it.'

أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ قَالَ الصَّلَاةُ عَلَى وَقْتِهَا قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيٌّ قَالَ بِرُّ الْوَالِدَيْنِ قُلْتُ ثُمَّ أَيٌّ قَالَ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ

Narrated Ibn Mas'ud (RA): I asked the Prophet (SAW), 'Which deed is most beloved to Allah?' He replied, 'Performing the prayer on time.' I asked, 'Then what?' He said, 'Being dutiful to parents.' I asked, 'Then what?' He said, 'Jihad in the path of Allah.'

مَنْ تَطَهَّرَ فِي بَيْتِهِ ثُمَّ مَشَى إِلَى بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ لِيَقْضِيَ فَرِيضَةً مِنْ فَرَائِضِ اللَّهِ كَانَتْ خَطْوَتَاهُ إِحْدَاهُمَا تَحُطُّ خَطِيئَةً وَالْأُخْرَى تَرْفَعُ دَرَجَةً

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Whoever purifies himself in his house and then walks to one of the houses of Allah in order to perform one of the obligatory prayers of Allah — one of his steps will wipe away a sin and the other will raise his rank.'

سَوُّوا صُفُوفَكُمْ فَإِنَّ تَسْوِيَةَ الصُّفُوفِ مِنْ إِقَامَةِ الصَّلَاةِ

Narrated Nu'man ibn Bashir (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Straighten your rows, for straightening the rows is part of the completion of the prayer.'

مَنْ صَلَّى عَلَيَّ صَلَاةً وَاحِدَةً صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ عَشْرَ صَلَوَاتٍ وَحُطَّتْ عَنْهُ عَشْرُ خَطِيئَاتٍ وَرُفِعَتْ لَهُ عَشْرُ دَرَجَاتٍ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'The first thing a person will be held accountable for on the Day of Judgment is the prayer. If it is sound, the rest of his deeds will be sound, and if it is corrupt, the rest of his deeds will be corrupt.'

Narrated Sahl ibn Sa'd (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Rayyan, through which those who fast will enter on the Day of Resurrection, and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to fast?' They will stand up, and none except them will enter through it. After they enter, the gate will be closed and nobody else will enter through it."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الْحَسَنَاتِ وَالسَّيِّئَاتِ، ثُمَّ بَيَّنَ ذَلِكَ فَمَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً، فَإِنْ هُوَ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ إِلَى سَبْعِمِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ إِلَى أَضْعَافٍ كَثِيرَةٍ، وَمَنْ هَمَّ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ عِنْدَهُ حَسَنَةً كَامِلَةً، فَإِنْ هُوَ هَمَّ بِهَا فَعَمِلَهَا كَتَبَهَا اللَّهُ لَهُ سَيِّئَةً وَاحِدَةً

Narrated Ibn Abbas (RA): The Prophet (SAW), narrating from his Lord, said, "Allah has written down good deeds and bad deeds, then made it clear: whoever intends a good deed but does not do it, Allah writes it with Him as a complete good deed; if he intends it and does it, Allah writes it with Him as ten good deeds up to seven hundred times, up to many times more. Whoever intends a bad deed but does not do it, Allah writes it with Him as a complete good deed; and if he intends it and does it, Allah writes it as one bad deed."

الْحَلاَلُ بَيِّنٌ وَالْحَرَامُ بَيِّنٌ، وَبَيْنَهُمَا مُشَبَّهَاتٌ لاَ يَعْلَمُهَا كَثِيرٌ مِنَ النَّاسِ، فَمَنِ اتَّقَى الْمُشَبَّهَاتِ اسْتَبْرَأَ لِدِيِنِهِ وَعِرْضِهِ، وَمَنْ وَقَعَ فِي الشُّبُهَاتِ كَرَاعٍ يَرْعَى حَوْلَ الْحِمَى، يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُوَاقِعَهُ. أَلاَ وَإِنَّ لِكُلِّ مَلِكٍ حِمًى، أَلاَ إِنَّ حِمَى اللَّهِ فِي أَرْضِهِ مَحَارِمُهُ، أَلاَ وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ، وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ. أَلاَ وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُ

Narrated An-Nu'man ibn Bashir (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "The lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters which many people do not know. Whoever avoids the doubtful matters protects his religion and his honour, and whoever falls into the doubtful matters is like a shepherd grazing near a private pasture, about to enter it. Indeed every king has a private pasture, and the private pasture of Allah on His earth is what He has forbidden. Indeed, there is a piece of flesh in the body: if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole body is corrupt. Indeed, it is the heart."

دَعْ مَا يَرِيبُكَ إِلَى مَا لاَ يَرِيبُكَ فَإِنَّ الصِّدْقَ طُمَأْنِينَةٌ وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ رِيبَةٌ

Narrated Al-Hasan ibn Ali (RA): I memorised from the Messenger of Allah (SAW): "Leave what makes you doubt for what does not make you doubt. Truthfulness brings tranquillity, while falsehood brings doubt."

يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي سَبْعُونَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ، هُمُ الَّذِينَ لاَ يَسْتَرْقُونَ، وَلاَ يَتَطَيَّرُونَ، وَعَلَى رَبِّهِمْ يَتَوَكَّلُونَ

Narrated Ibn Abbas (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Seventy thousand of my followers will enter Paradise without reckoning. They are those who do not ask others for ruqyah, do not believe in bad omens, and put their trust in their Lord."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ مَنْ عَادَى لِي وَلِيًّا فَقَدْ آذَنْتُهُ بِالْحَرْبِ، وَمَا تَقَرَّبَ إِلَىَّ عَبْدِي بِشَىْءٍ أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ مِمَّا افْتَرَضْتُ عَلَيْهِ، وَمَا يَزَالُ عَبْدِي يَتَقَرَّبُ إِلَىَّ بِالنَّوَافِلِ حَتَّى أُحِبَّهُ، فَإِذَا أَحْبَبْتُهُ كُنْتُ سَمْعَهُ الَّذِي يَسْمَعُ بِهِ، وَبَصَرَهُ الَّذِي يُبْصِرُ بِهِ، وَيَدَهُ الَّتِي يَبْطُشُ بِهَا وَرِجْلَهُ الَّتِي يَمْشِي بِهَا، وَإِنْ سَأَلَنِي لأُعْطِيَنَّهُ، وَلَئِنِ اسْتَعَاذَنِي لأُعِيذَنَّهُ، وَمَا تَرَدَّدْتُ عَنْ شَىْءٍ أَنَا فَاعِلُهُ تَرَدُّدِي عَنْ نَفْسِ الْمُؤْمِنِ، يَكْرَهُ الْمَوْتَ وَأَنَا أَكْرَهُ مَسَاءَتَهُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah said: 'Whoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine, I declare war against him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than what I have made obligatory upon him, and My servant keeps drawing near to Me with voluntary deeds until I love him. When I love him, I become his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. If he asks Me, I will surely give him, and if he seeks My refuge, I will surely grant him refuge. I do not hesitate in anything I do as I hesitate [to take] the soul of the believer: he hates death, and I hate to displease him.'"

أَرَأَيْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّ نَهَرًا بِبَابِ أَحَدِكُمْ، يَغْتَسِلُ فِيهِ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ خَمْسًا، مَا تَقُولُ ذَلِكَ يُبْقِي مِنْ دَرَنِهِ. قَالُوا لاَ يُبْقِي مِنْ دَرَنِهِ شَيْئًا. قَالَ فَذَلِكَ مِثْلُ الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسِ، يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهَا الْخَطَايَا

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "If there was a river at the door of one of you and he bathed in it five times a day, would any dirt remain on him?" They said, "Not a trace of dirt would remain." He said, "That is the example of the five prayers, by which Allah wipes away sins."

مَنْ صَلَّى اثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً فِي يَوْمٍ وَلَيْلَةٍ بُنِيَ لَهُ بِهِنَّ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ

Narrated Umm Habibah (RA), who never abandoned these prayers from the day she heard this: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whoever prays twelve rak'ahs in a day and night, a house will be built for him in Paradise because of them."

لاَ يُلْدَغُ الْمُؤْمِنُ مِنْ جُحْرٍ وَاحِدٍ مَرَّتَيْنِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "A believer is not stung twice from the same hole."

الْجَنَّةُ أَقْرَبُ إِلَى أَحَدِكُمْ مِنْ شِرَاكِ نَعْلِهِ، وَالنَّارُ مِثْلُ ذَلِكَ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Paradise is nearer to any of you than the strap of his sandal, and so is the Fire."

عَلَيْكَ بِكَثْرَةِ السُّجُودِ لِلَّهِ فَإِنَّكَ لاَ تَسْجُدُ لِلَّهِ سَجْدَةً إِلاَّ رَفَعَكَ اللَّهُ بِهَا دَرَجَةً وَحَطَّ عَنْكَ بِهَا خَطِيئَةً

Narrated Thawban (RA): I asked the Messenger of Allah (SAW) about a deed that would take me to Paradise, and he said, "Make much prostration to Allah, for you will not prostrate to Allah once except that Allah raises you a degree by it and removes a sin from you by it."

لاَ تَجْعَلُوا بُيُوتَكُمْ مَقَابِرَ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Do not make your houses into graveyards. Shaytan flees from the house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited."

مَا مَلأَ آدَمِيٌّ وِعَاءً شَرًّا مِنْ بَطْنٍ بِحَسْبِ ابْنِ آدَمَ أُكُلاَتٌ يُقِمْنَ صُلْبَهُ فَإِنْ كَانَ لاَ مَحَالَةَ فَثُلُثٌ لِطَعَامِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِشَرَابِهِ وَثُلُثٌ لِنَفَسِهِ

Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "No human fills a vessel worse than his stomach. A few morsels that keep his back straight are enough for the son of Adam. If he must eat more, then a third for his food, a third for his drink and a third for his breath."

أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ وَأَزْكَاهَا عِنْدَ مَلِيكِكُمْ وَأَرْفَعِهَا فِي دَرَجَاتِكُمْ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ إِنْفَاقِ الذَّهَبِ وَالْوَرِقِ وَخَيْرٌ لَكُمْ مِنْ أَنْ تَلْقَوْا عَدُوَّكُمْ فَتَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَهُمْ وَيَضْرِبُوا أَعْنَاقَكُمْ. قَالُوا بَلَى. قَالَ ذِكْرُ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى

Narrated Abu ad-Darda (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Shall I not tell you of the best of your deeds, the purest of them with your Master, the highest of them in raising your ranks, better for you than spending gold and silver, and better for you than meeting your enemy and striking their necks while they strike yours?" They said, "Certainly." He said, "The remembrance of Allah."

صَلاَةُ الْجَمَاعَةِ تَفْضُلُ صَلاَةَ الْفَذِّ بِسَبْعٍ وَعِشْرِينَ دَرَجَةً

تَسَحَّرُوا فَإِنَّ فِي السَّحُورِ بَرَكَةً

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Take suhur, for in suhur there is blessing."

أَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى مَا يَمْحُو اللَّهُ بِهِ الْخَطَايَا وَيَرْفَعُ بِهِ الدَّرَجَاتِ. قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ عَلَى الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى الْمَسَاجِدِ وَانْتِظَارُ الصَّلاَةِ بَعْدَ الصَّلاَةِ فَذَلِكُمُ الرِّبَاطُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Shall I not tell you of that by which Allah erases sins and raises ranks?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Performing wudu thoroughly despite difficulty, taking many steps to the mosques, and waiting for the next prayer after a prayer — that is ribat [steadfast guarding]."

إِنَّكَ لَنْ تُنْفِقَ نَفَقَةً تَبْتَغِي بِهَا وَجْهَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أُجِرْتَ عَلَيْهَا حَتَّى مَا تَجْعَلُ فِي فَمِ امْرَأَتِكَ

Narrated Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "You will not spend anything seeking the Face of Allah except that you will be rewarded for it — even what you put in your wife's mouth."

اجْتَنِبُوا السَّبْعَ الْمُوبِقَاتِ. قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ، وَمَا هُنَّ قَالَ الشِّرْكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَالسِّحْرُ، وَقَتْلُ النَّفْسِ الَّتِي حَرَّمَ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ بِالْحَقِّ، وَأَكْلُ الرِّبَا، وَأَكْلُ مَالِ الْيَتِيمِ، وَالتَّوَلِّي يَوْمَ الزَّحْفِ، وَقَذْفُ الْمُحْصَنَاتِ الْمُؤْمِنَاتِ الْغَافِلاَتِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Avoid the seven destructive sins." They asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what are they?" He said, "Associating partners with Allah, sorcery, killing a soul Allah has made sacred except by right, consuming riba, consuming the wealth of an orphan, fleeing on the day of battle, and slandering chaste, innocent believing women."

الصَّلاَةُ الْخَمْسُ وَالْجُمُعَةُ إِلَى الْجُمُعَةِ كَفَّارَةٌ لِمَا بَيْنَهُنَّ مَا لَمْ تُغْشَ الْكَبَائِرُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The five daily prayers, and from one Jumu'ah to the next, are an expiation for whatever sins come between them, as long as major sins are avoided."

Narrated Abu Shuraih: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe! By Allah, he does not believe!" It was said, "Who is that, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" He said, "That person whose neighbor does not feel safe from his evil."

لاَ يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لأَخِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "None of you will have faith till he wishes for his (Muslim) brother what he likes for himself."

لاَ تَدْخُلُونَ الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوا وَلاَ تُؤْمِنُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا. أَوَلاَ أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَىْءٍ إِذَا فَعَلْتُمُوهُ تَحَابَبْتُمْ؟ أَفْشُوا السَّلاَمَ بَيْنَكُمْ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "You shall not enter Paradise so long as you do not affirm belief, and you will not believe as long as you do not love one another. Should I not direct you to a thing which, if you do, will foster love amongst you: give currency to the practice of paying salutation to one another by saying As-salamu Alaikum."

خَيْرُكُمْ خَيْرُكُمْ لأَهْلِهِ وَأَنَا خَيْرُكُمْ لأَهْلِي وَإِذَا مَاتَ صَاحِبُكُمْ فَدَعُوهُ

Narrated 'Aishah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The best of you is the best to his wives, and I am the best of you to my wives, and when your companion dies, leave him alone."

كُلُّ سُلاَمَى مِنَ النَّاسِ عَلَيْهِ صَدَقَةٌ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَطْلُعُ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ يَعْدِلُ بَيْنَ الاِثْنَيْنِ صَدَقَةٌ وَيُعِينُ الرَّجُلَ عَلَى دَابَّتِهِ فَيَحْمِلُ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ يَرْفَعُ عَلَيْهَا مَتَاعَهُ صَدَقَةٌ وَالْكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقَةٌ وَكُلُّ خَطْوَةٍ يَخْطُوهَا إِلَى الصَّلاَةِ صَدَقَةٌ وَيُمِيطُ الأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ صَدَقَةٌ

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There is a (compulsory) Sadaqa (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body every day the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as Sadaqa, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it is also regarded as Sadaqa, and (saying) a good word is also Sadaqa, and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer is also Sadaqa, and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Sadaqa."

Ali ibn Abi Talib reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When a Muslim visits his sick Muslim brother in the morning, seventy thousand angels pray for him until the evening. And if he visits him in the evening, seventy thousand angels pray for him until the morning, and he will have a garden of fruit in Paradise."

الرَّجُلُ عَلَى دِينِ خَلِيلِهِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ أَحَدُكُمْ مَنْ يُخَالِلُ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A man follows the religion of his close friend, so let each one of you look carefully at whom he takes as a close friend."

مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Whoever relieves a believer of a distress from the distresses of this world, Allah will relieve him of a distress from the distresses of the Day of Resurrection. Whoever eases the burden of one in hardship, Allah will ease for him in this world and the next. Whoever conceals a Muslim's faults, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the next."

الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): A man asked the Prophet ﷺ about the Hour. He ﷺ said, "What have you prepared for it?" The man replied, "I have not prepared much in the way of prayer, fasting, or charity, but I love Allah and His Messenger." The Prophet ﷺ said, "You will be with those you love." Anas said: Nothing after accepting Islam pleased us as much as the Prophet's words, "You will be with those you love."

Abu Huraira (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The believer is a mirror to the believer. The believer is the brother of the believer — he safeguards his interests and defends him in his absence.'

حَقُّ الْمُسْلِمِ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِ سِتٌّ قِيلَ مَا هُنَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ إِذَا لَقِيتَهُ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَيْهِ وَإِذَا دَعَاكَ فَأَجِبْهُ وَإِذَا اسْتَنْصَحَكَ فَانْصَحْ لَهُ وَإِذَا عَطَسَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَشَمِّتْهُ وَإِذَا مَرِضَ فَعُدْهُ وَإِذَا مَاتَ فَاتَّبِعْهُ

Abu Huraira (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The rights of the Muslim upon the Muslim are six.' It was said: 'What are they, O Messenger of Allah?' He ﷺ said: 'When you meet him, greet him with salaam; when he invites you, accept his invitation; when he seeks your advice, give him sincere advice; when he sneezes and praises Allah, say yarhamukallah; when he is sick, visit him; and when he dies, follow his funeral.'

Narrated Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'It is not lawful for a Muslim to cut off relations with his brother for more than three days; they meet and this one turns away and that one turns away. The better of the two is the one who initiates the greeting of salam.'

تَهَادَوْا تَحَابُّوا

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'Exchange gifts, and you will love one another.'

مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَالْجَلِيسِ السَّوْءِ كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الْمِسْكِ وَكِيرِ الْحَدَّادِ لَا يَعْدَمُكَ مِنْ صَاحِبِ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا تَشْتَرِيهِ أَوْ تَجِدُ رِيحَهُ وَكِيرُ الْحَدَّادِ يُحْرِقُ بَدَنَكَ أَوْ ثَوْبَكَ أَوْ تَجِدُ مِنْهُ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'The example of a good companion and a bad companion is like that of the perfume seller and the blacksmith's bellows.

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'Beware of sitting on roads.' They said, 'We have no alternative — those are our gathering places where we talk.' He said, 'If you must sit there, then give the road its rights.' They asked, 'What are the rights of the road?' He said, 'Lowering the gaze, refraining from harm, returning the salaam, enjoining what is good, and forbidding what is evil.'

تَرَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فِي تَرَاحُمِهِمْ وَتَوَادِّهِمْ وَتَعَاطُفِهِمْ كَمَثَلِ الْجَسَدِ إِذَا اشْتَكَى عُضْوًا تَدَاعَى لَهُ سَائِرُ جَسَدِهِ بِالسَّهَرِ وَالْحُمَّى

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ أَحَقُّ بِحُسْنِ صَحَابَتِي قَالَ أُمُّكَ. قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ أُمُّكَ. قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ أُمُّكَ. قَالَ ثُمَّ مَنْ قَالَ ثُمَّ أَبُوكَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): A man came to the Messenger of Allah (SAW) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, who is most entitled to my good companionship?" He said, "Your mother." The man said, "Then who?" He said, "Your mother." The man said, "Then who?" He said, "Your mother." The man said, "Then who?" He said, "Then your father."

لَيْسَ الْوَاصِلُ بِالْمُكَافِئِ، وَلَكِنِ الْوَاصِلُ الَّذِي إِذَا قَطَعَتْ رَحِمُهُ وَصَلَهَا

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "The one who maintains ties of kinship is not the one who merely reciprocates; rather, the one who maintains ties of kinship is the one who, when his relatives cut him off, reconnects with them."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ أَيْنَ الْمُتَحَابُّونَ بِجَلاَلِي الْيَوْمَ أُظِلُّهُمْ فِي ظِلِّي يَوْمَ لاَ ظِلَّ إِلاَّ ظِلِّي

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah will say on the Day of Resurrection: 'Where are those who loved one another for the sake of My Majesty? Today I shall shade them in My shade, on the Day when there is no shade but Mine.'"

إِذَا أَحَبَّ الرَّجُلُ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُخْبِرْهُ أَنَّهُ يُحِبُّهُ

Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "When a man loves his brother, he should tell him that he loves him."

انْصُرْ أَخَاكَ ظَالِمًا أَوْ مَظْلُومًا. قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ هَذَا نَنْصُرُهُ مَظْلُومًا، فَكَيْفَ نَنْصُرُهُ ظَالِمًا قَالَ تَأْخُذُ فَوْقَ يَدَيْهِ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Help your brother, whether he is an oppressor or oppressed." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we help him when he is oppressed, but how do we help him when he is an oppressor?" He said, "By holding back his hand [from oppressing]."

اتَّقُوا الظُّلْمَ فَإِنَّ الظُّلْمَ ظُلُمَاتٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاتَّقُوا الشُّحَّ فَإِنَّ الشُّحَّ أَهْلَكَ مَنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ حَمَلَهُمْ عَلَى أَنْ سَفَكُوا دِمَاءَهُمْ وَاسْتَحَلُّوا مَحَارِمَهُمْ

Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Beware of oppression, for oppression will be darkness on the Day of Resurrection. And beware of stinginess, for stinginess destroyed those who came before you: it drove them to shed their blood and treat as lawful what was sacred to them."

مَا زَالَ يُوصِينِي جِبْرِيلُ بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "O Muslim women! None of you should belittle [a gift] from her neighbour, even if it is the trotter of a sheep."

مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَغْرِسُ غَرْسًا، أَوْ يَزْرَعُ زَرْعًا، فَيَأْكُلُ مِنْهُ طَيْرٌ أَوْ إِنْسَانٌ أَوْ بَهِيمَةٌ، إِلاَّ كَانَ لَهُ بِهِ صَدَقَةٌ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "There is no Muslim who plants a tree or sows a seed, and then a bird, a person or an animal eats from it, except that it is regarded as charity for him."

السَّاعِي عَلَى الأَرْمَلَةِ وَالْمِسْكِينِ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ، أَوْ كَالَّذِي يَصُومُ النَّهَارَ وَيَقُومُ اللَّيْلَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "The one who looks after and works for a widow and a poor person is like one who strives in the cause of Allah, or like one who fasts during the day and prays all night."

أَلاَ أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِأَكْبَرِ الْكَبَائِرِ. قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ الإِشْرَاكُ بِاللَّهِ، وَعُقُوقُ الْوَالِدَيْنِ. وَكَانَ مُتَّكِئًا فَجَلَسَ فَقَالَ أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ، أَلاَ وَقَوْلُ الزُّورِ وَشَهَادَةُ الزُّورِ

Narrated Abu Bakrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said three times, "Shall I not tell you of the greatest of the major sins?" We said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Associating partners with Allah and disobedience to parents." He had been reclining, then he sat up and said, "And beware of false speech and false testimony," and he kept repeating it until we wished he would stop.

رَغِمَ أَنْفُ ثُمَّ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ ثُمَّ رَغِمَ أَنْفُ. قِيلَ مَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ مَنْ أَدْرَكَ أَبَوَيْهِ عِنْدَ الْكِبَرِ أَحَدَهُمَا أَوْ كِلَيْهِمَا فَلَمْ يَدْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "A man visited a brother of his in another town, so Allah sent an angel to wait for him on his way. When he reached him, the angel said, 'Where are you going?' He said, 'To a brother of mine in this town.' The angel asked, 'Has he done you a favour you are going to repay?' He said, 'No, except that I love him for the sake of Allah.' The angel said, 'I am a messenger from Allah to you, to tell you that Allah loves you as you have loved him for His sake.'"

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَقُولُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ مَرِضْتُ فَلَمْ تَعُدْنِي. قَالَ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَعُودُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ. قَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّ عَبْدِي فُلاَنًا مَرِضَ فَلَمْ تَعُدْهُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ عُدْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَنِي عِنْدَهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَطْعَمْتُكَ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْنِي. قَالَ يَا رَبِّ وَكَيْفَ أُطْعِمُكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ. قَالَ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّهُ اسْتَطْعَمَكَ عَبْدِي فُلاَنٌ فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهُ أَمَا عَلِمْتَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ أَطْعَمْتَهُ لَوَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ اسْتَسْقَيْتُكَ فَلَمْ تَسْقِنِي. قَالَ يَا رَبِّ كَيْفَ أَسْقِيكَ وَأَنْتَ رَبُّ الْعَالَمِينَ قَالَ اسْتَسْقَاكَ عَبْدِي فُلاَنٌ فَلَمْ تَسْقِهِ أَمَا إِنَّكَ لَوْ سَقَيْتَهُ وَجَدْتَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدِي

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, will say on the Day of Resurrection: 'O son of Adam, I was sick and you did not visit Me.' He will say, 'O my Lord, how could I visit You when You are the Lord of the worlds?' He will say, 'Did you not know that My servant so-and-so was sick and you did not visit him? Did you not know that had you visited him, you would have found Me with him? O son of Adam, I asked you for food and you did not feed Me... O son of Adam, I asked you for drink and you did not give Me drink...'"

يَا عِبَادِي إِنِّي حَرَّمْتُ الظُّلْمَ عَلَى نَفْسِي وَجَعَلْتُهُ بَيْنَكُمْ مُحَرَّمًا فَلاَ تَظَالَمُوا يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ ضَالٌّ إِلاَّ مَنْ هَدَيْتُهُ فَاسْتَهْدُونِي أَهْدِكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ جَائِعٌ إِلاَّ مَنْ أَطْعَمْتُهُ فَاسْتَطْعِمُونِي أُطْعِمْكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي كُلُّكُمْ عَارٍ إِلاَّ مَنْ كَسَوْتُهُ فَاسْتَكْسُونِي أَكْسُكُمْ يَا عِبَادِي إِنَّكُمْ تُخْطِئُونَ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّهَارِ وَأَنَا أَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ جَمِيعًا فَاسْتَغْفِرُونِي أَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ

Narrated Abu Dharr (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said that Allah, the Exalted, said: "O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and made it forbidden among you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me and I will guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except whom I feed, so ask Me for food and I will feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except whom I clothe, so ask Me for clothing and I will clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day and I forgive all sins, so seek My forgiveness and I will forgive you."

أَتَدْرُونَ مَا الْمُفْلِسُ. قَالُوا الْمُفْلِسُ فِينَا مَنْ لاَ دِرْهَمَ لَهُ وَلاَ مَتَاعَ. فَقَالَ إِنَّ الْمُفْلِسَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِصَلاَةٍ وَصِيَامٍ وَزَكَاةٍ وَيَأْتِي قَدْ شَتَمَ هَذَا وَقَذَفَ هَذَا وَأَكَلَ مَالَ هَذَا وَسَفَكَ دَمَ هَذَا وَضَرَبَ هَذَا فَيُعْطَى هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَإِنْ فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ أُخِذَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ فَطُرِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي النَّارِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Do you know who the bankrupt is?" They said, "The bankrupt among us is the one who has no money or goods." He said, "The bankrupt of my Ummah is the one who comes on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting and zakah, but he insulted this one, slandered that one, consumed the wealth of this one, shed the blood of that one and beat this one. So each of them will be given from his good deeds, and if his good deeds run out before what he owes is settled, their sins will be taken and thrown upon him, and then he will be thrown into the Fire."

الأَرْوَاحُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ فَمَا تَعَارَفَ مِنْهَا ائْتَلَفَ وَمَا تَنَاكَرَ مِنْهَا اخْتَلَفَ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) ascended the minbar and called out loudly, "O you who have accepted Islam with your tongues while faith has not reached your hearts!

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Those who are just will be with Allah on pulpits of light at the right hand of the Most Merciful — and both His hands are right — those who are fair in their judgements, with their families, and in whatever they are put in charge of."

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Every child is born upon the fitrah [natural disposition of Islam], then his parents make him a Jew, a Christian or a Magian — just as an animal gives birth to a perfect young one: do you see any part of it cut off?"

مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ مُنْكَرًا فَلْيُغَيِّرْهُ بِيَدِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِلِسَانِهِ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ فَبِقَلْبِهِ وَذَلِكَ أَضْعَفُ الإِيمَانِ

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "Whoever among you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; if he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith."

الْمُسْلِمَ إِذَا كَانَ يُخَالِطَ النَّاسَ وَيَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِ الَّذِي لاَ يُخَالِطُ النَّاسَ وَلاَ يَصْبِرُ عَلَى أَذَاهُمْ

يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى أَنَا عِنْدَ ظَنِّ عَبْدِي بِي، وَأَنَا مَعَهُ إِذَا ذَكَرَنِي، فَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي نَفْسِهِ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي نَفْسِي، وَإِنْ ذَكَرَنِي فِي مَلَإٍ ذَكَرْتُهُ فِي مَلَإٍ خَيْرٍ مِنْهُمْ

Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah the Almighty says: 'I am as My servant thinks of Me. I am with him when he remembers Me. If he mentions Me within himself, I mention him within Myself. If he mentions Me in an assembly, I mention him in an assembly far better than his.'"

مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ تُصِيبُهُ مُصِيبَةٌ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا إِلاَّ أَخْلَفَ اللَّهُ لَهُ خَيْرًا مِنْهَا

Umm Salamah reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, "There is no Muslim stricken with a calamity who says what Allah has commanded — 'Verily to Allah we belong and to Him we return; O Allah, reward me for my affliction and replace it for me with something better' — except that Allah will replace it for him with something better."

وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْهِ فِي الْيَوْمِ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ مَرَّةً

كُنْ فِي الدُّنْيَا كَأَنَّكَ غَرِيبٌ أَوْ عَابِرُ سَبِيلٍ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA): Allah's Messenger ﷺ took hold of my shoulder and said, "Be in this world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer."

Abu Huraira (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak believer, and there is good in everyone. Cherish what gives you benefit, seek help from Allah and do not give up. If any adversity comes to you, do not say: "If only I had done such-and-such." Rather say: "Allah decreed it and what He wills He does," for saying "if only" opens the door to the work of Shaytan.'

حُجِبَتِ النَّارُ بِالشَّهَوَاتِ وَحُجِبَتِ الْجَنَّةُ بِالْمَكَارِهِ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The Hellfire is veiled by desires and pleasures, and Paradise is veiled by hardships and difficulties.'

She said, 'Go away from me, for you have not been afflicted with a calamity like mine!' She did not recognise him. Then she was told it was the Prophet ﷺ, so she came to his house and said: 'I did not recognise you.' He ﷺ said, 'Verily, patience is at the first stroke of calamity.'

مَا مِنْ مُسْلِمٍ يَمُوتُ فَيَقُومُ عَلَى جَنَازَتِهِ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا لَا يُشْرِكُونَ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا شَفَّعَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ

Narrated Ibn Abbas (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'If any Muslim dies and forty men who associate nothing with Allah stand over his funeral prayer, Allah will accept their intercession for him.'

عَلَيْكُمْ بِهَذِهِ الْحَبَّةِ السَّوْدَاءِ فَإِنَّ فِيهَا شِفَاءً مِنْ كُلِّ دَاءٍ إِلَّا السَّامَ

إِنَّ عِظَمَ الْجَزَاءِ مَعَ عِظَمِ الْبَلَاءِ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا ابْتَلَاهُمْ فَمَنْ رَضِيَ فَلَهُ الرِّضَا وَمَنْ سَخِطَ فَلَهُ السَّخَطُ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'The greatness of the reward is commensurate with the greatness of the trial. When Allah loves a people He tests them. Whoever accepts it with patience will have contentment, and whoever reacts with resentment will have resentment.'

مَنْ أَصْبَحَ مِنْكُمْ آمِنًا فِي سِرْبِهِ مُعَافًى فِي جَسَدِهِ عِنْدَهُ قُوتُ يَوْمِهِ فَكَأَنَّمَا حِيزَتْ لَهُ الدُّنْيَا

Narrated Salama ibn 'Ubaydullah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Whoever among you wakes up secure in his dwelling, healthy in his body, and has food for that day — it is as though the entire world has been gathered for him.'

قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَرُزِقَ كَفَافًا وَقَنَّعَهُ اللَّهُ بِمَا آتَاهُ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Successful is the one who has accepted Islam, has been given sufficient provision, and whom Allah has made content with what He has given him."

وَاللَّهِ مَا الدُّنْيَا فِي الآخِرَةِ إِلاَّ مِثْلُ مَا يَجْعَلُ أَحَدُكُمْ إِصْبَعَهُ هَذِهِ فِي الْيَمِّ فَلْيَنْظُرْ بِمَ يَرْجِعُ

Narrated Al-Mustawrid (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "By Allah, this world in comparison to the Hereafter is like one of you dipping his finger into the ocean — let him see what it brings back."

إِنَّ الدِّينَ يُسْرٌ، وَلَنْ يُشَادَّ الدِّينَ أَحَدٌ إِلاَّ غَلَبَهُ، فَسَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا، وَاسْتَعِينُوا بِالْغَدْوَةِ وَالرَّوْحَةِ وَشَىْءٍ مِنَ الدُّلْجَةِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "The religion is easy, and no one overburdens himself in religion except that it overwhelms him. So aim for what is right, come as close to it as you can, and receive glad tidings; and seek help [in worship] in the morning, in the afternoon and in part of the night."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَيَرْضَى عَنِ الْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ الأَكْلَةَ فَيَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا أَوْ يَشْرَبَ الشَّرْبَةَ فَيَحْمَدَهُ عَلَيْهَا

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah is pleased with His servant who eats a meal and praises Him for it, or drinks a drink and praises Him for it."

إِذَا نَظَرَ أَحَدُكُمْ إِلَى مَنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ فِي الْمَالِ وَالْخَلْقِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُ مِمَّنْ فُضِّلَ عَلَيْهِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "When one of you looks at someone who has been given more than him in wealth and appearance, let him look at someone below him in those things."

قَالَ اللَّهُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ مَا دَعَوْتَنِي وَرَجَوْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ عَلَى مَا كَانَ فِيكَ وَلاَ أُبَالِي يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ بَلَغَتْ ذُنُوبُكَ عَنَانَ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ اسْتَغْفَرْتَنِي غَفَرْتُ لَكَ وَلاَ أُبَالِي يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ إِنَّكَ لَوْ أَتَيْتَنِي بِقُرَابِ الأَرْضِ خَطَايَا ثُمَّ لَقِيتَنِي لاَ تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لأَتَيْتُكَ بِقُرَابِهَا مَغْفِرَةً

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He, said: 'O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and hope in Me, I will forgive you for what you have done, and I do not mind. O son of Adam, if your sins were to reach the clouds of the sky and then you sought My forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, if you came to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and then met Me without associating anything with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness nearly as great as it.'"

لَمَّا قَضَى اللَّهُ الْخَلْقَ كَتَبَ فِي كِتَابِهِ، فَهْوَ عِنْدَهُ فَوْقَ الْعَرْشِ إِنَّ رَحْمَتِي غَلَبَتْ غَضَبِي

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "When Allah completed the creation, He wrote in His Book, which is with Him above the Throne: 'Indeed, My mercy prevails over My anger.'"

عَجَبًا لأَمْرِ الْمُؤْمِنِ إِنَّ أَمْرَهُ كُلَّهُ خَيْرٌ وَلَيْسَ ذَاكَ لأَحَدٍ إِلاَّ لِلْمُؤْمِنِ إِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ سَرَّاءُ شَكَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ وَإِنْ أَصَابَتْهُ ضَرَّاءُ صَبَرَ فَكَانَ خَيْرًا لَهُ

Narrated Suhayb (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "How amazing is the affair of the believer! All of his affairs are good for him, and this is for no one except the believer. If something good happens to him, he is grateful, and that is good for him; and if something bad happens to him, he is patient, and that is good for him."

مَا يُصِيبُ الْمُسْلِمَ مِنْ نَصَبٍ وَلاَ وَصَبٍ وَلاَ هَمٍّ وَلاَ حُزْنٍ وَلاَ أَذًى وَلاَ غَمٍّ حَتَّى الشَّوْكَةِ يُشَاكُهَا، إِلاَّ كَفَّرَ اللَّهُ بِهَا مِنْ خَطَايَاهُ

Narrated Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "No fatigue, illness, worry, grief, harm or distress befalls a Muslim — even the prick of a thorn — except that Allah expiates some of his sins because of it."

وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَوْ لَمْ تُذْنِبُوا لَذَهَبَ اللَّهُ بِكُمْ وَلَجَاءَ بِقَوْمٍ يُذْنِبُونَ فَيَسْتَغْفِرُونَ اللَّهَ فَيَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "By the One in whose Hand is my soul, if you did not sin, Allah would replace you with people who would sin and then seek Allah's forgiveness, and He would forgive them."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ يَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِاللَّيْلِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ النَّهَارِ وَيَبْسُطُ يَدَهُ بِالنَّهَارِ لِيَتُوبَ مُسِيءُ اللَّيْلِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ مِنْ مَغْرِبِهَا

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, stretches out His Hand at night to accept the repentance of the one who sinned during the day, and stretches out His Hand during the day to accept the repentance of the one who sinned during the night — until the sun rises from the west."

اللَّهُ أَفْرَحُ بِتَوْبَةِ عَبْدِهِ مِنْ أَحَدِكُمْ سَقَطَ عَلَى بَعِيرِهِ، وَقَدْ أَضَلَّهُ فِي أَرْضِ فَلاَةٍ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah is more pleased with the repentance of His servant than any of you would be on finding his camel which he had lost in the desert."

مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ قَطُّ إِلاَّ أَخَذَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا، فَإِنْ كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ، وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِنَفْسِهِ فِي شَىْءٍ قَطُّ، إِلاَّ أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللَّهِ، فَيَنْتَقِمَ بِهَا لِلَّهِ

Narrated Aisha (RA): Whenever the Messenger of Allah (SAW) was given a choice between two matters, he chose the easier of the two as long as it was not sinful; if it was sinful, he was the furthest of people from it. He never took revenge for himself, except when the sanctities of Allah were violated, then he would act for Allah's sake.

لاَ يَزَالُ قَلْبُ الْكَبِيرِ شَابًّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ فِي حُبِّ الدُّنْيَا، وَطُولِ الأَمَلِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "The heart of an old man remains young in two things: love of this world and long hopes."

تَعِسَ عَبْدُ الدِّينَارِ وَالدِّرْهَمِ وَالْقَطِيفَةِ وَالْخَمِيصَةِ، إِنْ أُعْطِيَ رَضِيَ، وَإِنْ لَمْ يُعْطَ لَمْ يَرْضَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Wretched is the slave of the dinar, the dirham, fine velvet and silk garments: if he is given, he is pleased, and if he is not given, he is displeased."

لَوْ كَانَ لاِبْنِ آدَمَ وَادِيَانِ مِنْ مَالٍ لاَبْتَغَى ثَالِثًا، وَلاَ يَمْلأُ جَوْفَ ابْنِ آدَمَ إِلاَّ التُّرَابُ، وَيَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَنْ تَابَ

Narrated Ibn Abbas (RA): I heard the Prophet (SAW) say, "If the son of Adam had two valleys of wealth, he would long for a third, and nothing fills the belly of the son of Adam except dust. And Allah turns in forgiveness to whoever repents."

مَنْ أَحَبَّ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ، وَمَنْ كَرِهَ لِقَاءَ اللَّهِ كَرِهَ اللَّهُ لِقَاءَهُ

Narrated Ubadah ibn as-Samit (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him; and whoever hates to meet Allah, Allah hates to meet him." Aisha or one of his wives said, "But we dislike death." He said, "It is not that. Rather, when death comes to the believer, he is given glad tidings of Allah's pleasure and honour, so nothing is dearer to him than what lies ahead; he loves to meet Allah and Allah loves to meet him."

مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُصِبْ مِنْهُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whoever Allah wants good for, He afflicts him with trials."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدًا دَعَا جِبْرِيلَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ فُلاَنًا فَأَحِبَّهُ - قَالَ - فَيُحِبُّهُ جِبْرِيلُ ثُمَّ يُنَادِي فِي السَّمَاءِ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ فُلاَنًا فَأَحِبُّوهُ. فَيُحِبُّهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ - قَالَ - ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ لَهُ الْقَبُولُ فِي الأَرْضِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "When Allah loves a servant, He calls Jibril and says, 'I love so-and-so, so love him.' So Jibril loves him. Then he calls out in the heaven, 'Allah loves so-and-so, so love him,' and the inhabitants of the heaven love him. Then acceptance is placed for him on the earth."

يُسْتَجَابُ لأَحَدِكُمْ مَا لَمْ يَعْجَلْ يَقُولُ دَعَوْتُ فَلَمْ يُسْتَجَبْ لِي

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The supplication of any of you is answered as long as he is not hasty, saying, 'I supplicated, but I was not answered.'"

مَا ذِئْبَانِ جَائِعَانِ أُرْسِلاَ فِي غَنَمٍ بِأَفْسَدَ لَهَا مِنْ حِرْصِ الْمَرْءِ عَلَى الْمَالِ وَالشَّرَفِ لِدِينِهِ

Narrated Ka'b ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Two hungry wolves let loose among sheep do not cause more damage to them than a man's greed for wealth and status does to his religion."

الأَنْبِيَاءُ ثُمَّ الأَمْثَلُ فَالأَمْثَلُ فَيُبْتَلَى الرَّجُلُ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَإِنْ كَانَ دِينُهُ صُلْبًا اشْتَدَّ بَلاَؤُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَ فِي دِينِهِ رِقَّةٌ ابْتُلِيَ عَلَى حَسَبِ دِينِهِ فَمَا يَبْرَحُ الْبَلاَءُ بِالْعَبْدِ حَتَّى يَتْرُكَهُ يَمْشِي عَلَى الأَرْضِ مَا عَلَيْهِ خَطِيئَةٌ

Narrated Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (RA): A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, which people are tested most severely?" He said, "The Prophets, then those most like them, then those most like them. A man is tested according to his religion: if his religion is firm, his trials are more severe, and if there is weakness in his religion, he is tested according to it. Trials will continue to afflict the servant until they leave him walking on the earth without any sin."

يَتْبَعُ الْمَيِّتَ ثَلاَثَةٌ، فَيَرْجِعُ اثْنَانِ وَيَبْقَى مَعَهُ وَاحِدٌ، يَتْبَعُهُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ وَعَمَلُهُ، فَيَرْجِعُ أَهْلُهُ وَمَالُهُ، وَيَبْقَى عَمَلُهُ

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Three things follow the deceased: two return and one remains with him. His family, his wealth and his deeds follow him; his family and his wealth return, and his deeds remain."

مَا أَكَلَ أَحَدٌ طَعَامًا قَطُّ خَيْرًا مِنْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ، وَإِنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ دَاوُدَ ـ عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ ـ كَانَ يَأْكُلُ مِنْ عَمَلِ يَدِهِ

Narrated Al-Miqdam ibn Ma'dikarib (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "No one has ever eaten better food than what he eats from the work of his own hands. The Prophet of Allah, Dawud (AS), used to eat from the work of his own hands."

اسْتَأْذَنَ رَهْطٌ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالُوا السَّامُ عَلَيْكَ. فَقُلْتُ بَلْ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّامُ وَاللَّعْنَةُ. فَقَالَ: يَا عَائِشَةُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ. قُلْتُ: أَوَلَمْ تَسْمَعْ مَا قَالُوا؟ قَالَ: قُلْتُ وَعَلَيْكُمْ

Narrated 'Aisha: A group of Jews asked permission to visit the Prophet (ﷺ) and when they were admitted they said, 'As-Samu 'Alaika (death be upon you).' I said (to them), 'But death and the curse of Allah be upon you!' The Prophet (ﷺ) said, 'O 'Aisha! Allah is kind and lenient and likes that one should be kind and lenient in all matters.' I said, 'Haven't you heard what they said?' He said, 'I said (to them), Wa 'Alaikum (and upon you).'

لاَ تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ

Abu Dharr reported: Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) said to me, "Don't consider anything insignificant out of good things even if it is that you meet your brother with a cheerful countenance."

الرَّاحِمُونَ يَرْحَمُهُمُ الرَّحْمَنُ. ارْحَمُوا مَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ يَرْحَمْكُمْ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاءِ. الرَّحِمُ شُجْنَةٌ مِنَ الرَّحْمَنِ فَمَنْ وَصَلَهَا وَصَلَهُ اللَّهُ وَمَنْ قَطَعَهَا قَطَعَهُ اللَّهُ

Abdullah bin 'Amr narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The merciful are shown mercy by Ar-Rahman. Be merciful on the earth, and you will be shown mercy from Who is above the heavens. The womb is named after Ar-Rahman, so whoever connects it, Allah connects him, and whoever severs it, Allah severs him."

تَبَسُّمُكَ فِي وَجْهِ أَخِيكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَأَمْرُكَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهْيُكَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِرْشَادُكَ الرَّجُلَ فِي أَرْضِ الضَّلاَلِ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَبَصَرُكَ لِلرَّجُلِ الرَّدِيءِ الْبَصَرِ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِمَاطَتُكَ الْحَجَرَ وَالشَّوْكَةَ وَالْعَظْمَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِفْرَاغُكَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي دَلْوِ أَخِيكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ

Abu Dharr reported that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you, your seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you, and your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you."

إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مِائَةَ رَحْمَةٍ أَنْزَلَ مِنْهَا رَحْمَةً وَاحِدَةً بَيْنَ الْجِنِّ وَالإِنْسِ وَالْبَهَائِمِ وَالْهَوَامِّ فَبِهَا يَتَعَاطَفُونَ وَبِهَا يَتَرَاحَمُونَ وَبِهَا تَعْطِفُ الْوَحْشُ عَلَى وَلَدِهَا وَأَخَّرَ اللَّهُ تِسْعًا وَتِسْعِينَ رَحْمَةً يَرْحَمُ بِهَا عِبَادَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): I heard Allah's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'Allah has divided His mercy into one hundred parts. He kept ninety-nine parts with Him and sent one part to the earth. Through this one part, all of creation shows compassion to one another — so much so that an animal lifts its hoof over its young lest it should hurt it. On the Day of Resurrection, Allah will complete the full one hundred parts of mercy toward His servants.'

بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي فَاشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ فَنَزَلَ بِئْرًا فَشَرِبَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا هُوَ بِكَلْبٍ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ فَقَالَ لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا مِثْلُ الَّذِي بَلَغَ بِي فَمَلَأَ خُفَّهُ ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ ثُمَّ رَقِيَ فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, 'While a man was walking he felt very thirsty and went down a well and drank from it. When he came out he saw a dog panting and eating the moist earth out of thirst. He said to himself, this dog is suffering from the same thirst as I was. He went down the well and filled his shoe and gave the dog water. Allah thanked him for this and forgave his sins.'

مَنْ يُحْرَمِ الرِّفْقَ يُحْرَمِ الْخَيْرَ

Narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whoever is deprived of gentleness is deprived of good."

مَنْ لاَ يَرْحَمُ لاَ يُرْحَمُ

Narrated Jarir ibn Abdullah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Whoever is not merciful to others will not be treated mercifully."

أَتَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ طَارِحَةً وَلَدَهَا فِي النَّارِ. قُلْنَا لاَ وَهْىَ تَقْدِرُ عَلَى أَنْ لاَ تَطْرَحَهُ. فَقَالَ لَلَّهُ أَرْحَمُ بِعِبَادِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ بِوَلَدِهَا

Narrated Umar ibn al-Khattab (RA): Some captives were brought to the Prophet (SAW), and among them was a woman searching; whenever she found a child among the captives, she held it to her chest and nursed it. The Prophet (SAW) said, "Do you think this woman would throw her child into the fire?" We said, "No, not if she is able not to." He said, "Allah is more merciful to His servants than this woman is to her child."

عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ سَجَنَتْهَا حَتَّى مَاتَتْ، فَدَخَلَتْ فِيهَا النَّارَ، لاَ هِيَ أَطْعَمَتْهَا وَلاَ سَقَتْهَا إِذْ حَبَسَتْهَا، وَلاَ هِيَ تَرَكَتْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الأَرْضِ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "A woman was punished because of a cat which she imprisoned until it died, and she entered the Fire because of it. She neither fed it nor gave it water while she kept it locked up, nor did she let it free to eat from the creatures of the earth."

إِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لاَ يَكُونُ فِي شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ زَانَهُ وَلاَ يُنْزَعُ مِنْ شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ شَانَهُ

Narrated Aisha (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Gentleness is not found in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it disfigures it."

إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ لَعَّانًا وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ رَحْمَةً

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): It was said to the Messenger of Allah (SAW), "Invoke a curse upon the polytheists." He said, "I was not sent as one who curses; I was only sent as a mercy."

لَيْسَ مِنَّا مَنْ لَمْ يَرْحَمْ صَغِيرَنَا وَيُوَقِّرْ كَبِيرَنَا

Narrated Anas ibn Malik (RA): An old man came to speak to the Prophet (SAW), and the people were slow to make room for him. The Prophet (SAW) said, "He is not one of us who does not have mercy on our young and does not respect our elders."

يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَعَيَّرْتَهُ بِأُمِّهِ إِنَّكَ امْرُؤٌ فِيكَ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ، إِخْوَانُكُمْ خَوَلُكُمْ، جَعَلَهُمُ اللَّهُ تَحْتَ أَيْدِيكُمْ، فَمَنْ كَانَ أَخُوهُ تَحْتَ يَدِهِ فَلْيُطْعِمْهُ مِمَّا يَأْكُلُ، وَلْيُلْبِسْهُ مِمَّا يَلْبَسُ، وَلاَ تُكَلِّفُوهُمْ مَا يَغْلِبُهُمْ، فَإِنْ كَلَّفْتُمُوهُمْ فَأَعِينُوهُمْ

Narrated Abu Dharr (RA): I insulted a man by taunting him about his mother, and the Prophet (SAW) said, "O Abu Dharr, did you taunt him about his mother? You are a man who still has some traits of ignorance. Your servants are your brothers whom Allah has placed under your authority. So whoever has his brother under him, let him feed him from what he eats and clothe him from what he wears. Do not burden them beyond their ability, and if you do burden them, then help them."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَتَبَ الإِحْسَانَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَىْءٍ فَإِذَا قَتَلْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الْقِتْلَةَ وَإِذَا ذَبَحْتُمْ فَأَحْسِنُوا الذَّبْحَ وَلْيُحِدَّ أَحَدُكُمْ شَفْرَتَهُ فَلْيُرِحْ ذَبِيحَتَهُ

Narrated Shaddad ibn Aws (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Allah has prescribed excellence in everything. So when you kill, kill well; and when you slaughter, slaughter well. Let each of you sharpen his blade and spare the animal suffering."

اتَّقُوا النَّارَ وَلَوْ بِشِقِّ تَمْرَةٍ

Narrated 'Adi bin Hatim: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "Save yourself from Hell-fire even by giving half a date-fruit in charity."

طَلَبُ الْعِلْمِ فَرِيضَةٌ عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ

It was narrated from Anas bin Malik that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Seeking knowledge is a duty upon every Muslim."

مَا نَقَصَتْ صَدَقَةٌ مِنْ مَالٍ وَمَا زَادَ اللَّهُ عَبْدًا بِعَفْوٍ إِلاَّ عِزًّا وَمَا تَوَاضَعَ أَحَدٌ لِلَّهِ إِلاَّ رَفَعَهُ اللَّهُ

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Charity does not decrease wealth. Allah increases only in honor the one who pardons. And whoever humbles himself for the sake of Allah, Allah elevates him."

أَنَا وَكَافِلُ الْيَتِيمِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ هَكَذَا. وَأَشَارَ بِالسَّبَّابَةِ وَالْوُسْطَى وَفَرَّجَ بَيْنَهُمَا شَيْئًا

Sahl ibn Sa'd reported: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "I and the one who sponsors an orphan will be in Paradise like these two" — and he pointed with his index finger and middle finger, holding them close together.

خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ الْقُرْآنَ وَعَلَّمَهُ

Narrated Uthman ibn Affan (RA): The Prophet ﷺ said, "The best of you are those who learn the Quran and teach it."

إِذَا مَاتَ الإِنْسَانُ انْقَطَعَ عَنْهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ ثَلَاثَةٍ: إِلَّا مِنْ صَدَقَةٍ جَارِيَةٍ، أَوْ عِلْمٍ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ، أَوْ وَلَدٍ صَالِحٍ يَدْعُو لَهُ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: an ongoing charity (sadaqah jariyah), beneficial knowledge that others act upon, or a righteous child who prays for him."

اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ فَإِنَّهُ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَفِيعًا لأَصْحَابِهِ

Narrated Abu Umama al-Bahili (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Recite the Quran, for it will come on the Day of Resurrection as an intercessor for its companions.'

مَنْ قَرَأَ سُورَةَ الْكَهْفِ فِي يَوْمِ الْجُمُعَةِ أَضَاءَ لَهُ مِنَ النُّورِ مَا بَيْنَ الْجُمُعَتَيْنِ

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (RA) reported: The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Whoever reads Surah al-Kahf on Friday, a light will shine for him between the two Fridays.'

إِنَّ سُورَةً مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ ثَلَاثُونَ آيَةً شَفَعَتْ لِرَجُلٍ حَتَّى غُفِرَ لَهُ وَهِيَ سُورَةُ تَبَارَكَ الَّذِي بِيَدِهِ الْمُلْكُ

Ibn Abbas (RA) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A surah of the Quran with thirty verses interceded for its reader until he was forgiven. It is: Blessed is He in Whose Hand is the dominion (Surah Al-Mulk).'

الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ هِيَ السَّبْعُ الْمَثَانِي وَالْقُرْآنُ الْعَظِيمُ الَّذِي أُوتِيتُهُ

Narrated Abu Sa'id ibn al-Mu'alla (RA): I was praying when the Prophet ﷺ called me, but I did not respond until I had finished. Then I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, I was praying.' He ﷺ said: 'Did not Allah say: Respond to Allah and to the Messenger when he calls you?' He then said: 'Shall I not teach you the greatest surah in the Quran before you leave the mosque?' Then as we were about to leave, he said: 'It is: Al-Hamdulillahi Rabbil-'alamin — it is the seven oft-repeated verses (as-sab'ul mathani) and the great Quran that has been given to me.'

مَنْ قَرَأَ آيَةَ الْكُرْسِيِّ دُبُرَ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ لَمْ يَمْنَعْهُ مِنْ دُخُولِ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا أَنْ يَمُوتَ

Narrated Abu Umamah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Whoever recites Ayat al-Kursi after every obligatory prayer, nothing will prevent him from entering Paradise except death.'

مَنْ بَنَى مَسْجِدًا يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ بَنَى اللَّهُ لَهُ بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ

Narrated 'Uthman ibn 'Affan (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Whoever builds a mosque seeking the pleasure of Allah, Allah will build for him a similar house in Paradise.'

إِنَّ لِلَّهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ اسْمًا مِائَةً إِلَّا وَاحِدًا مَنْ أَحْصَاهَا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Allah has ninety-nine names — one hundred minus one. Whoever learns and preserves them all will enter Paradise.'

مَنْ قَرَأَ الْآيَتَيْنِ مِنْ آخِرِ سُورَةِ الْبَقَرَةِ فِي لَيْلَةٍ كَفَتَاهُ

Narrated Abu Mas'ud al-Ansari (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, 'Whoever recites the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah at night, they will suffice him (protect him).'

مَنْ تَصَدَّقَ بِعَدْلِ تَمْرَةٍ مِنْ كَسْبٍ طَيِّبٍ ـ وَلاَ يَقْبَلُ اللَّهُ إِلاَّ الطَّيِّبَ ـ وَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَتَقَبَّلُهَا بِيَمِينِهِ، ثُمَّ يُرَبِّيهَا لِصَاحِبِهِ كَمَا يُرَبِّي أَحَدُكُمْ فَلُوَّهُ حَتَّى تَكُونَ مِثْلَ الْجَبَلِ

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whoever gives in charity the equivalent of a date from good, lawful earnings — and Allah accepts only what is good — Allah accepts it with His right hand and then nurtures it for its giver, just as one of you raises a foal, until it becomes like a mountain."

مَا مِنْ يَوْمٍ يُصْبِحُ الْعِبَادُ فِيهِ إِلاَّ مَلَكَانِ يَنْزِلاَنِ فَيَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقًا خَلَفًا، وَيَقُولُ الآخَرُ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُمْسِكًا تَلَفًا

Narrated Abu Hurayrah (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "There is no day on which the servants wake up except that two angels descend. One of them says, 'O Allah, give the one who spends a replacement,' and the other says, 'O Allah, give the one who withholds destruction [of his wealth].'"

الْيَدُ الْعُلْيَا خَيْرٌ مِنَ الْيَدِ السُّفْلَى، وَابْدَأْ بِمَنْ تَعُولُ، وَخَيْرُ الصَّدَقَةِ عَنْ ظَهْرِ غِنًى، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ

Narrated Hakim ibn Hizam (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "The upper hand is better than the lower hand. Begin with those you support. The best charity is that given out of surplus. Whoever seeks to refrain [from asking], Allah will make him chaste, and whoever seeks self-sufficiency, Allah will make him self-sufficient."

مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ، وَإِنَّمَا أَنَا قَاسِمٌ وَاللَّهُ يُعْطِي، وَلَنْ تَزَالَ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةُ قَائِمَةً عَلَى أَمْرِ اللَّهِ لاَ يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَالَفَهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ

Narrated Mu'awiyah (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "When Allah wants good for a person, He gives him understanding of the religion. I am only a distributor, and Allah is the Giver. This nation will remain firm upon the command of Allah, unharmed by those who oppose them, until the command of Allah comes."

بَلِّغُوا عَنِّي وَلَوْ آيَةً، وَحَدِّثُوا عَنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَلاَ حَرَجَ، وَمَنْ كَذَبَ عَلَىَّ مُتَعَمِّدًا فَلْيَتَبَوَّأْ مَقْعَدَهُ مِنَ النَّارِ

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Convey from me, even if it is a single verse. Narrate from the Children of Israel, and there is no harm in that. And whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire."

مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَطْلُبُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا مِنْ طُرُقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ لَتَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ وَإِنَّ الْعَالِمَ لَيَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الأَرْضِ وَالْحِيتَانُ فِي جَوْفِ الْمَاءِ وَإِنَّ فَضْلَ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ كَفَضْلِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْكَوَاكِبِ وَإِنَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَرَثَةُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ وَإِنَّ الأَنْبِيَاءَ لَمْ يُوَرِّثُوا دِينَارًا وَلاَ دِرْهَمًا وَرَّثُوا الْعِلْمَ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ أَخَذَ بِحَظٍّ وَافِرٍ

Narrated Abu ad-Darda (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "Whoever travels a path in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel a path of Paradise. The angels lower their wings in pleasure with the seeker of knowledge, and those in the heavens and the earth, even the fish in the depths of the water, ask forgiveness for the scholar. The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like that of the full moon over the rest of the stars. The scholars are the heirs of the prophets; the prophets left neither dinar nor dirham — they left only knowledge, and whoever takes it has taken an abundant share."

عَلَى كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ صَدَقَةٌ. قَالُوا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَجِدْ قَالَ فَيَعْمَلُ بِيَدَيْهِ فَيَنْفَعُ نَفْسَهُ وَيَتَصَدَّقُ. قَالُوا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَسْتَطِعْ أَوْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ قَالَ فَيُعِينُ ذَا الْحَاجَةِ الْمَلْهُوفَ. قَالُوا فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ قَالَ فَيَأْمُرُ بِالْخَيْرِ. أَوْ قَالَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ. قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ قَالَ فَيُمْسِكُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ، فَإِنَّهُ لَهُ صَدَقَةٌ

Narrated Abu Musa al-Ash'ari (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "Every Muslim must give charity." They asked, "What if he has nothing?" He said, "Let him work with his hands, benefit himself and give charity." They asked, "What if he cannot?" He said, "Let him help the one in desperate need." They asked, "What if he does not?" He said, "Let him enjoin good." They asked, "What if he does not?" He said, "Let him refrain from evil, for that is charity for him."

لاَ حَسَدَ إِلاَّ فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالاً فَسُلِّطَ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ، وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ الْحِكْمَةَ، فَهْوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (RA): The Prophet (SAW) said, "There is no envy except in two: a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a man whom Allah has given wisdom and he judges by it and teaches it."

إِنَّ اللَّهَ لاَ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ انْتِزَاعًا، يَنْتَزِعُهُ مِنَ الْعِبَادِ، وَلَكِنْ يَقْبِضُ الْعِلْمَ بِقَبْضِ الْعُلَمَاءِ، حَتَّى إِذَا لَمْ يُبْقِ عَالِمًا، اتَّخَذَ النَّاسُ رُءُوسًا جُهَّالاً فَسُئِلُوا، فَأَفْتَوْا بِغَيْرِ عِلْمٍ، فَضَلُّوا وَأَضَلُّوا

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As (RA): I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say, "Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it from the people, but He takes it away by taking the lives of the scholars, until when no scholar remains, people take ignorant leaders who, when asked, give rulings without knowledge — so they go astray and lead others astray."

فَضْلُ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ كَفَضْلِي عَلَى أَدْنَاكُمْ. ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم إِنَّ اللَّهَ وَمَلاَئِكَتَهُ وَأَهْلَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ حَتَّى النَّمْلَةَ فِي جُحْرِهَا وَحَتَّى الْحُوتَ لَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَى مُعَلِّمِ النَّاسِ الْخَيْرَ

Narrated Abu Umamah al-Bahili (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like my superiority over the least of you." Then he said, "Indeed Allah, His angels, and the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth — even the ant in its hole and even the fish — send blessings upon the one who teaches people good."
