Authenticated hadith from Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Abu Dawud, and Tirmidhi — each with Arabic text, transliteration, translation, and a daily practice.
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.'
