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.'

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.

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

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.

إِذَا أَتَيْتَ مَضْجَعَكَ فَتَوَضَّأْ وُضُوءَكَ لِلصَّلَاةِ ثُمَّ اضْطَجِعْ عَلَى شِقِّكَ الْأَيْمَنِ

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

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
Narrated Abdullah ibn Umar (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Prayer in congregation is twenty-seven degrees better than prayer offered alone."
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."
مَنْ أَحْدَثَ فِي أَمْرِنَا هَذَا مَا لَيْسَ مِنْهُ فَهُوَ رَدٌّ
Narrated Aisha (RA): The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said, "Whoever introduces into this affair of ours something that is not part of it, it will be rejected."
