Some Selected Hadith for Muslim Brothers and Sisters
as Glad Tidings and Instructions
Sahih Muslim: Chapter 13, Book 32: Virtue, Good Manners And Joining Of The
Ties Of Relationship, Number 6246:
Abu Dharr (R.A) reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying that
ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GLORIOUS, said: MY servants, I have made oppression
unlawful for ME and unlawful for you, so do not commit oppression against one another.
MY servants, all of you are liable to err except one whom I guide on the right path,
so seek right guidance from ME so that I should direct you to the right path. O
MY servants, all of you are hungry (needy) except one whom I feed, so beg food from
ME, so that I may give that to you. O MY servants, all of you are naked (need clothes)
except one whom I provide garments, so beg clothes from ME, so that I should clothe
you. O MY servants, you commit error night and day and I am there to pardon your
sins, so beg pardon from ME, so that I should grant you pardon. O MY servants, you
can neither do ME any harm nor can you do ME any good. O MY servants, even if the
first amongst you and the last amongst you and even the whole of human race of yours,
and that of jinns even, become (equal in) ALLAH [S.W.T] conscious like the heart
of a single person amongst you, nothing would add to MY Power. O MY servants, even
if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours
and that of the jinns too in unison become the most wicked (all beating) like the
heart of a single person, it would cause no loss to MY Power. O MY servants, even
if the first amongst you and the last amongst you and the whole human race of yours
and that of jinns also all stand in one plain ground and you ask ME and I confer
upon every person what he asks for, it would not in any way, cause any loss to ME
(even less) than that which is caused to the ocean by dipping the needle in it.
MY servants, these for you I shall reward you for then, so he who deeds of yours
which I am recording finds good should Praise ALLAH and he who does not find that
should not blame anyone but his ownself. Sa'id (R.A) said: That when Abu Idris Khaulini
(R.A) narrated this hadith he knelt upon his knees.

Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "ALLAH
[S.W.T] has some Angels (P.B.U.T) who look for those who celebrate the Praises of
ALLAH [S.W.T] on the roads and paths. And when they find some people celebrating
the Praises of ALLAH [S.W.T], they call each other, saying, "Come to the object
of your pursuit.'" He added, "Then the Angels (P.B.U.T) encircle them
with their wings up to the sky of the world." He added. "(after those
people celebrated the Praises of ALLAH [S.W.T], and the Angels (P.B.U.T) go back),
their LORD, asks them (those Angels (P.B.U.T)) - though HE knows better than them----'What
do MY slaves say?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'they say: Subhan ALLAH, ALLAHU Akbar,
and Alham-du-lillah, ALLAH [S.W.T] then says 'Did they see ME?' The Angels (P.B.U.T)
reply, 'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], they didn't see YOU.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it would
have been if they saw ME?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'If they saw YOU, they would
Worship YOU more devoutly and celebrate YOUR Glory more deeply, and declare YOUR
freedom from any resemblance to anything more often.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says (to the
Angels (P.B.U.T)), 'What do they ask ME for?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'They
ask YOU for Paradise.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says (to the Angels (P.B.U.T)), 'Did they see
it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say, 'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], O LORD! They did not see it.'
ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it would have been if they saw it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T)
say, 'If they saw it, they would have greater covetousness for it and would seek
it with greater zeal and would have greater desire for it.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says,
'From what do they seek refuge?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) reply, 'They seek refuge from
the (Hell) Fire.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, 'Did they see it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say,
'No! By ALLAH [S.W.T], O LORD! They did not see it.' ALLAH [S.W.T] says, How it
would have been if they saw it?' The Angels (P.B.U.T) say, 'If they saw it they
would flee from it with the extreme fleeing and would have extreme fear from it.'
Then ALLAH [S.W.T] says, 'I make you witnesses that I have Forgiven them."'
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] added, "One of the Angels (P.B.U.T) would
say, 'There was so-and-so amongst them, and he was not one of them, but he had just
come for some need.' ALLAH [S.W.T] would say, 'These are those people whose companions
will not be reduced to misery.'"

and said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] ordered (the appointed Angels (P.B.U.T) over you)
that the good and the bad deeds be written, and HE then showed (the way) how (to
write). If somebody intends to do a good deed and he does not do it, then ALLAH
[S.W.T] will write for him a full good deed (in his account with HIM); and if he
intends to do a good deed and actually did it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will write for
him (in his account with HIM) (its reward equal) from ten to seven hundred times
to many more times: and if somebody intended to do a bad deed and he does not do
it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will write a full good deed (in his account with HIM), and
if he intended to do it (a bad deed) and actually did it, then ALLAH [S.W.T] will
write one bad deed (in his account)."

of MINE. And the most beloved things with which MY slave comes nearer to ME, is
what I have enjoined upon him; and MY slave keeps on coming closer to ME through
performing Nawafil (praying or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till
I love him, so I become his sense of hearing with which he hears, and his sense
of sight with which he sees, and his hand with which he grips, and his leg with
which he walks; and if he asks ME, I will give him, and if he asks MY Protection
(Refuge), I will Protect him; (i.e. give him MY Refuge) and I do not hesitate to
do anything as I hesitate to take the soul of the believer, for he hates death,
and I hate to disappoint him."

thinks I can do for him) and I am with him if he remembers ME. If he remembers ME
in himself, I too, remember him in MYSELF; and if he remembers ME in a group of
people, I remember him in a group that is better than they; and if he comes one
span nearer to ME, I go one cubit nearer to him; and if he comes one cubit nearer
to ME, I go a distance of two outstretched arms nearer to him; and if he comes to
ME walking, I go to him running.'"

(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Your
stay (in this world) in comparison to the stay of the nations preceding you, is
like the period between 'Asr prayer and the sun set (in comparison to a whole day).
The people of the Torah were given the Torah and they acted on it till midday and
then they were unable to carry on. And they were given (a reward equal to) one Qirat
each. Then the people of the Gospel were given the Gospel and they acted on it till
'Asr Prayer and then they were unable to carry on, so they were given a reward equal
to) one Qirat each. Then you were given the Qur'an and you acted on it till sunset,
therefore you were given (a reward equal to) two Qirats each. On that, the people
of the Scriptures said, 'These people (Muslims) did less work than we but they took
a bigger reward.' ALLAH [S.W.T] said (to them). 'Have I done any oppression to you
as regards your rights?' They said, "No." Then ALLAH [S.W.T] said, 'That
is MY Blessing which I grant to whomsoever I Will.'"

this is not the case with anyone else except in the case of a believer for if he
has an occasion to feel delight, he thanks (ALLAH [S.W.T]), thus there is a good
for him in it, and if he gets into trouble and shows resignation (and endures it
patiently), there is a good for him in it.

Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
One day while the Prophet [S.A.W.S] was sitting
in the company of some people, (The Angel) Gabriel (P.B.U.H) came and asked, "What
is faith?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, 'Faith is to believe
in ALLAH [S.W.T], HIS Angels (P.B.U.T), (the) meeting with HIM, HIS Apostles (P.B.U.T),
and to believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?"
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "To Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone
and none else, to offer prayers perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat)
and to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What
is Ihsan (perfection)?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "To
Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] as if you see HIM, and if you cannot achieve this state of
devotion then you must consider that HE is looking at you." Then he further
asked, "When will the Hour be established?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
replied, "The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will
inform you about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady)
gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds
of black camels start boasting and competing with others in the construction of
higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five things which nobody knows except ALLAH
[S.W.T]. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] then recited: "Verily, with ALLAH (Alone) is
the Knowledge of the Hour--." (31.34) Then that man (Gabriel (P.B.U.H)) left
and the Prophet [S.A.W.S] asked his companions (R.A) to call him back, but they
could not see him. Then the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "That was Gabriel (P.B.U.H)
who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah (R.A) said: He
(the Prophet [S.A.W.S]) considered all that as a part of faith.

'Uqba b. 'Amir (R.A)
reported:
We were entrusted with the task of tending the
camels. On my turn when I came back in the evening after grazing them in the pastures,
I found ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Messenger [S.A.W.S] stand and address the people. I heard
these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays
two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face, Paradise would be guaranteed to him. I said: What a fine thing
is this! And a narrator who was before me said: The first was better than even this.
When I cast a glance, I saw that it was 'Umar (R.A) who said: I see that you have
just come and observed: If anyone amongst you performs the ablution, and then completes
the ablution well and then says: I testify that there is no god but ALLAH and that
Muhammad [S.A.W.S] is the servant of ALLAH and HIS Messenger, the eight gates of
Paradise would be opened for him and he may enter by whichever of them he wishes.

[S.A.W.S] came out and said: Which of you would like to go out every morning to
Buthan or al-’Aqiq and bring two large she camels without being guilty of sin or
without severing the ties of kinship? We said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],
we would like to do it. Upon this he said: Does not one of you go out in the morning
to the Mosque and teach or recite two verses from the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T], the
MAJESTIC and GLORIOUS? That is better for him than two she camels, and three verses
are better (than three she camels), and four verses are better for him than four
(she camels), and to on their number in camels.

Abu Umama (R.A) said
he heard:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] say: Recite
the Qur’an, for on the Day of Resurrection it will come as an intercessor for those
who recite It. Recite the two bright ones, Surah al-Baqara and Surah Al ‘Imran,
for on the Day of Resurrection they will come as two clouds or two shades, or two
flocks of birds in ranks, pleading for those who recite them. Recite Surah al-Baqara,
for to take recourse to it is a blessing and to give it up is a cause of grief,
and the magicians cannot confront it. (Mu’awiya (R.A) said: It has been conveyed
to me that here Batala means magicians.)

Apostle [S.A.W.S] he heard a creaking sound above him. He lifted his head and said:
This as a gate opened in heaven today which had never been opened before. Then when
an Angel (P.B.U.H) descended through it, he said: This is an Angel (P.B.U.H) who
came down to the earth who had never come down before. He greeted and said: Rejoice
in two lights given to you which have not been given to any Prophet (P.B.U.T) before
you: Falihat al-Kitab (1.1-7) and the concluding verses of Suarah al-Baqara (2.286).
You will never recite a letter from them for which you will not be given (a reward).

as if he considered that the recitation of that Surah by itself was not enough.
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "By HIM in WHOSE Hand my life is, it
is equal to one-third of the Qur’an."

under the command of a man who used to lead his companions in the prayers and
would finish his recitation with (the Surah 112): 'Say (O Muhammad): "HE
is ALLAH, the ONE."' (112.1) When they returned (from the battle), they
mentioned that to the Prophet [S.A.W.S]. He said (to them), "Ask him why
he does so." They asked him and he said, "I do so because it mentions
the Qualities of the BENEFICENT and I love to recite it (in my prayer)."
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said (to them), "Tell him that ALLAH [S.W.T] loves
him."

your sins: of the future and of the past; new and old; those you have forgotten
and those you did knowingly; big and small; hidden and revealed. Then Prophet [S.A.W.S]

enjoyment and they pray like us and fast as we do. They have more money by which
they perform the Hajj, and 'Umra; fight and struggle in ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Cause and
give in charity." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Shall I not tell you a
thing upon which if you acted you would catch up with those who have surpassed you?
Nobody would overtake you and you would be better than the people amongst whom you
live except those who would do the same. Say, "Subhan-ALLAH", "Alhamdu-lillah"
and "ALLAHU Akbar" thirty three times each after every (compulsory) prayer."
We differed and some of us said that we should say, "Subhan-ALLAH" thirty
three times and "Alhamdu lillah" thirty three times and "ALLAHU Akbar"
thirty four times. I went to the Prophet [S.A.W.S] who said, "Say, "Subhan-ALLAH"
and "Alhamdu-lillah" and "ALLAHU Akbar" all together for thirty
three times."

he came, 'Aisha (R.A) informed him about it. Ali (R.A) added: The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
came to us when we had gone to our beds. When I was going to get up, he said, "'Stay
in your places," and sat between us, till I felt the coolness of the feet on
my chest. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] then said, "Shall I not tell you of a thing
which is better for you than a servant? When you (both) go to your beds, say 'ALLAHU
Akbar' thirty-four times, and 'Subhan ALLAH' thirty-three times, 'Alhamdu 'illah'
thirty-three times, for that is better for you than a servant." Ibn Sirin (R.A)

is between the heavens and the earth, and Prayer is a light, and Charity is proof

[S.A.W.S], the rich have taken away (air the) reward. They observe prayer as we
do; they keep the fasts as we keep, and they give sadaqa out of their surplus riches.
Upon this he (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: Has ALLAH [S.W.T] not prescribed
for you (a course) by following which you can (also) do sadaqa? In every declaration
of the Glorification of ALLAH [S.W.T] (i.e. saying Subhan ALLAH) there is a sadaqa,
and every Takbir (i.e. saying ALLAHU Akbar) is a sadaqa, and every Praise of HIS
(saying al-Hamdu Lillah) is a sadaqa and every declaration that HE is ONE (La illha
ill-ALLAH) is a sadaqa, and enjoining of good is a sadaqa, and forbidding of that
which is evil is a sadaqa, and in man's sexual intercourse (with his wife,) there
is a sadaqa. They (the Companions (R.A)) said: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S],
is there reward for him who satisfies his sexual passion among us? He said: Tell
me, if he were to devote it to something forbidden, would it not be a sin on his
part? Similarly, if he were to devote it to something lawful, he should have a reward.

HE is POTENT over everything" one hundred times every day there is a reward
of emancipating ten slaves for him, and there are recorded hundred virtues to his
credit, and hundred vices are blotted out from his scroll, and that is a safeguard

excellent than this, except one who has done more than this (who utters these words
more than one hundred times and does more good acts) and he who utters: "Hallowed

punisheth them, Lo! They are THY slaves, and if THOU forgiveth them-verily THOU
art the MIGHTY, the WISE" (al-Qur'an, 5.118). Then he raised his hands and

said: O Gabriel (P.B.U.H), go to Muhammad [S.A.W.S] (Though your LORD knows it fully
well) and ask him: What makes thee weep? So Gabriel (P.B.U.H) came to him and asked
him, and the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] informed him what he had said
(Though ALLAH [S.W.T] knew it fully well). Upon this ALLAH [S.W.T] said: O Gabriel
(P.B.U.H), go to Muhammad [S.A.W.S] and say: Verily WE will please thee with regard

and said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Who is more entitled to be
treated with the best companionship by me?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Your
mother." The man said. "Who is next?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said,
"Your mother." The man further said, "Who is next?" The Prophet
[S.A.W.S] said, "Your mother." The man asked for the fourth time, "Who
is next?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Your father."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 2, Book 15: The Two Festivals (Eids), Number 86:
Narrated Ibn Abbas
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "No good deeds
done on other days are superior to those done on these (first ten days of Dhul Hijja)."
Then some companions (R.A) of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Not even Jihad?"
He replied, "Not even Jihad, except that of a man who does it by putting himself
and his property in danger (for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Sake) and does not return with any
of those things."
Sahih Muslim:
Chapter 28, Book 6: Fasting (Kitab Al-Sawm), Number 2566:
Abu Huraira (R.A)
reported:
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] as saying:
ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and MAJESTIC said: Every act of the son of Adam (P.B.U.H)
is for him, except fasting. It is (exclusively) meant for ME and I (Alone) will
reward it. Fasting is a shield. When any one of you is fasting on a day, he should
neither indulge in obscene language, nor raise the voice; or if anyone reviles him
or tries to quarrel with him he should say: I am a person fasting. By HIM, in WHOSE
Hand is the life of Muhammad [S.A.W.S], the breath of the observer of fast is sweeter
to ALLAH [S.W.T] on the Day of Judgment than the fragrance of musk. The one who
fasts has two (occasions) of joy, one when he breaks the fast he is glad with the
breaking of (the fast) and one when he meets his LORD he is glad with his fast.

(R.A) reported:
I was in the company of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S] that he gave a description of Paradise and then ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] concluded with these words: There would be bounties which the eye has
not seen and the ear has not heard and no human heart has ever perceived them. He
then recited this verse: "They forsake (their) beds, calling upon their LORD
in fear and in hope, and spend out of what WE have given them. So no soul knows
what refreshment of the eyes is hidden for them; a reward for what they did"
(32.16-17)
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 38:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Religion is very
easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue
in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and
receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by Worshiping
in the mornings, the nights."

of ALLAH [S.W.T] (i.e. Worships ALLAH [S.W.T] sincerely from childhood), a man whose
heart is attached to the Mosques (i.e. to pray the compulsory prayers in the Mosque
in congregation), two persons who love each other Only for ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Sake
and they meet and part in ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Cause Only, a man who refuses the call
of a charming woman of noble birth for illicit intercourse with her and says: I
am afraid of ALLAH [S.W.T], a man who gives charitable gifts so secretly that his
left hand does not know what his right hand has given (i.e. nobody knows how much
he has given in charity), and a person who remembers ALLAH [S.W.T] in seclusion
and his eyes are then flooded with tears."

A man came to the Prophet [S.A.W.S] and asked,
"A man fights for war booty; another fights for fame and a third fights for
showing off; which of them fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
said, "He who fights that ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Word (i.e. Islam) should be Superior,
fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause."

said: Of the men he lives the best life who holds the reins of his horse (ever
ready to march) in the way of ALLAH [S.W.T], flies on its back whenever he
hears a fearful shriek, or a call for help, flies to it seeking death at places
where it can be expected. (Next to him) is a man who lives with his sheep at a
hill-top or in a valley, says his prayers regularly, gives Zakat and Worships
his LORD until death comes to him.

month of Ramadan, will rightfully be granted Paradise by ALLAH [S.W.T], no matter
whether he fights in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause or remains in the land where he is born."
The people said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Shall we acquaint the
people with this good news?" He said, "Paradise has one-hundred grades
which ALLAH [S.W.T] has reserved for the Mujahidin who fight in HIS Cause, and the
distance between each of two grades is like the distance between the Heaven and
the Earth. So, when you ask ALLAH [S.W.T] (for something), ask for Al-Firdaus which
is the best and highest part of Paradise." (i.e. the sub-narrator added, "I
think the Prophet [S.A.W.S] also said, 'Above it (i.e. Al-Firdaus) is the Throne
of BENEFICENT (i.e. ALLAH [S.W.T]), and from it originate the rivers of Paradise .")
Sahih Muslim: Chapter 83, Book 1: Faith (Kitab Al Iman), Number 0363:
It is reported on
the authority of al-Mughira b. Shu’ba (R.A):
That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said:
Moses (P.B.U.H) asked his LORD: Who amongst the inhabitants of Paradise is the lowest to rank? HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) said: The
person who would be admitted into Paradise last of all among those deserving of
Paradise who are admitted to it. I would be said
to him: Enter Paradise. He would say: O my LORD! How (should I enter) while the
people have settled in their apartments and taken the shares (portions)? It would
be said to him: Would you be pleased if there be for you like the kingdom of a king
amongst the kings of the world? He would say: I am pleased my LORD. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T])
would say: For you is that, and like that, and like that, and like that, and that.
He would say at the fifth (point): I am well pleased, my LORD. HE (ALLAH [S.W.T])
would say: It is for you and ten times like it, and for you is what your self desires
and your eye enjoys. He would say: I am well pleased, my LORD. He (Moses (P.B.U.H))
said: (Which is) the highest of their (inhabitants of Paradise) ranks? HE (ALLAH
[S.W.T]) said: They are those Whom I choose. I establish their Honor with MY OWN
Hand and then set a seal over it (and they would be Blessed with Bounties) which
no eye has seen, no ear has heard and no human mind has perceived: and this is substantiated
by the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED and GREAT: "So no soul knows what
delight of the eye is hidden for them; a reward for what they did" (32.17).
Sahih Bukhari: Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 2:
Narrated 'Aisha (R.A)
(The mother of the faithful believers):
Al-Harith bin Hisham (R.A) asked ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! How is the Divine Inspiration
revealed to you?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] replied, "Sometimes
it is (revealed) like the ringing of a bell, this form of Inspiration is the hardest
of all and then this state passes' off after I have grasped what is inspired. Sometimes
the Angel (P.B.U.H) comes in the form of a man and talks to me and I grasp whatever
he says." 'Aisha (R.A) added: Verily I saw the Prophet [S.A.W.S] being inspired
Divinely on a very cold day and noticed the Sweat dropping from his forehead (as
the Inspiration was over).
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 3:
Narrated 'Aisha (R.A)
(The mother of the faithful believers):
The commencement of the Divine Inspiration to ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] was in the form of good dreams which came true like
bright day light, and then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him. He used
to go in seclusion in the cave of Hira where he used to Worship (ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone)
continuously for many days before his desire to see his family. He used to take
with him the journey food for the stay and then come back to (his wife) Khadija
(R.A) to take his food like-wise again till suddenly the Truth descended upon him
while he was in the cave of Hira. The Angel (P.B.U.H) came to him and asked him
to read. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] replied, "I do not know how to read. The Prophet
[S.A.W.S] added, "The Angel (P.B.U.H) caught me (forcefully) and pressed me
so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me
to read and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me again
and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released
me and again asked me to read but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or
what shall I read)?' Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me, and
then released me and said, 'Read in the Name of your LORD, who has Created (all
that exists) has created man from a clot. Read! And your LORD is the MOST GENEROUS."
(96.1-3) Then ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] returned with the Inspiration and
with his heart beating severely. Then he went to Khadija bint Khuwailid (R.A) and
said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over and
after that he told her everything that had happened and said, "I fear that
something may happen to me." Khadija (R.A) replied, "Never! By ALLAH [S.W.T],
ALLAH [S.W.T] will never disgrace you. You keep good relations with your Kith and
kin, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the
deserving calamity-afflicted ones." Khadija (R.A) then accompanied him to her
cousin Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul 'Uzza, who, during the Pre-Islamic
Period became a Christian and used to write the writing with Hebrew letters. He
would write from the Gospel in Hebrew as much as ALLAH [S.W.T] wished him to write.
He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija (R.A) said to Waraqa, "Listen
to the story of your nephew, O my cousin!" Waraqa asked, "O my nephew!
What have you seen?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] described whatever he
had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same one who keeps the secrets (Angel Gabriel
(P.B.U.H) whom ALLAH [S.W.T] had sent to Moses (P.B.U.H). I wish I were young and
could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked, "Will they drive me out?" Waraqa replied in the
affirmative and said, "Anyone (man) who came with something similar to what
you have brought was treated with hostility; and if I should remain alive till the
day when you will be turned out then I would support you strongly." But after
a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while.Narrated
Jabir bin 'Abdullah Al-Ansari (R.A) while talking about the period of pause in Revelation
reporting the speech of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] "While I was walking, all of
a sudden I heard a voice from the sky. I looked up and saw the same Angel (P.B.U.H)
who had visited me at the cave of Hira' sitting on a chair between the sky and the
earth. I got afraid of him and came back home and said, 'Wrap me (in blankets).'
And then ALLAH [S.W.T] revealed the following Holy Verses (of Qur’an): 'O you (i.e.
Muhammad)! wrapped up in garments!' Arise and warn (the people against ALLAH's Punishment),...
up to 'and desert the idols.' (74.1-5) After this the Revelation started coming
strongly, frequently and regularly."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 4:
Narrated Said bin
Jubair (R.A):
Ibn 'Abbas (R.A) in the explanation of the Statement
of ALLAH [S.W.T]. 'Move not your tongue concerning (the Qur’an) to make haste therewith."
(75.16) Said "ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] used to bear the Revelation
with great trouble and used to move his lips (quickly) with the Inspiration."
Ibn 'Abbas (R.A) moved his lips saying, "I am moving my lips in front of you
as ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] used to move his." Said moved his lips
saying: "I am moving my lips, as I saw Ibn 'Abbas (R.A) moving his." Ibn
'Abbas (R.A) added, "So ALLAH [S.W.T] revealed 'Move not your tongue concerning
(the Qur'an) to make haste therewith. It is for US to collect it and to give you
(O Muhammad) the ability to recite it (the Qur'an) (75.16-17) which means that ALLAH
[S.W.T] will make him (the Prophet [S.A.W.S]) remember the portion of the Qur'an
which was revealed at that time by heart and recite it. The Statement of ALLAH [S.W.T]:
And 'When WE have recited it to you (O Muhammad through Gabriel) then you follow
its (Qur'an) recital' (75.18) means 'listen to it and be silent.' Then it is for
US (ALLAH [S.W.T]) to make It clear to you' (75.19) means 'Then it is (for ALLAH
[S.W.T]) to make you recite it (and its meaning will be clear by itself through
your tongue). Afterwards, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] used to listen to Gabriel
(P.B.U.H) whenever he came and after his departure he used to recite it as Gabriel
(P.B.U.H) had recited it."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 1: Revelation, Number 5:
Narrated Ibn 'Abbas
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] was the most
generous of all the people, and he used to reach the peak in generosity in the month
of Ramadan when Gabriel (P.B.U.H) met him. Gabriel (P.B.U.H) used to meet him every
night of Ramadan to teach him the Qur'an. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] was
the most generous person, even more generous than the strong uncontrollable wind
(in readiness and haste to do charitable deeds).
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 1, Book 2: Belief, Number 17:
Narrated 'Ubada bin
As-Samit (R.A):
Who took part in the battle of Badr and was a Naqib
(a person heading a group of six persons), on the night of Al-'Aqaba pledge: ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S], said while a group of his companions (R.A) were around
him, "Swear allegiance to me for:
1. Not to join anything
in Worship along with ALLAH [S.W.T].
2. Not to steal.
3. Not to commit
illegal sexual intercourse.
4. Not to kill your
children.
5. Not to accuse
an innocent person (to spread such an accusation among people).
6. Not to be disobedient
(when ordered) to do good deed."
The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
added: "Whoever among you fulfills his pledge will be rewarded by ALLAH [S.W.T].
And whoever indulges in any one of them (except the ascription of partners to ALLAH
[S.W.T]) and gets the punishment in this world, that punishment will be an expiation
for that sin. And if one indulges in any of them, and ALLAH [S.W.T] conceals his
sin, it is up to HIM to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter)." 'Ubada bin
As-Samit (R.A) added: "So we swore allegiance for these." (Points to ALLAH

any one of you improve (follows strictly) his Islamic religion then his good deeds
will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and a bad deed
will be recorded as it is."

Narrated 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab (R.A):
Once a Jew said to me, "O the chief of believers!
There is a verse in your Holy Book, which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had
it been revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was revealed as
a day of celebration." 'Umar bin Al-Khattab (R.A) asked, "Which is that
verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have perfected your religion for
you, completed MY favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as your religion."
(5:3) 'Umar (R.A) replied, "No doubt, we know when and where this verse was
revealed to The Prophet [S.A.W.S]. It was Friday and The Prophet [S.A.W.S] was standing
at 'Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)"

believer) who accompanies the funeral procession of a Muslim out of sincere faith
and hoping to attain ALLAH [S.W.T]'s reward and remains with it till the funeral
prayer is offered and the burial ceremonies are over, he will return with a reward
of two Qirats. Each Qirat is like the size of the (Mount) Uhud. He who offers the
funeral prayer only and returns before the burial, will return with the reward of
one Qirat only."

Malik (R.A):
Who was one of the Companions (R.A) of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] and one of the Ansar's who took part in the battle of Badr: I
came to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] I have weak eyesight and I lead my people in prayers. When it rains the
water flows in the valley between me and my people so I cannot go to their Mosque
to lead them in prayer. O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! I wish you would come
to my house and pray in it so that I could take that place as a Musalla. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] said. "ALLAH willing, I will do so." Next day after
the sun rose high, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and Abu Bakr (R.A) came and
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked for permission to enter. I gave him permission
and he did not sit on entering the house but said to me, "Where do you like
me to pray?" I pointed to a place in my house. So ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
stood there and said, 'ALLAHU Akbar', and we all got up and aligned behind him and
offered a two-Rak'at prayer and ended it with Taslim. We requested him to stay for
a meal called "Khazira" which we had prepared for him. Many members of
our family gathered in the house and one of them said, "Where is Malik bin
Al-Dukhaishin or Ibn Al-Dukhshun?" One of them replied, "He is a hypocrite
and does not love ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S]." Hearing that, ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Do not say so. Haven't you seen that he
said, 'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T]' for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Sake Only?" He said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know better.
We have seen him helping and advising hypocrites." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] has forbidden the (Hell) fire for those who
say, 'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T]' for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Sake Only."
Sahih Bukhari:

Narrated 'Aisha (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] used to start every thing

example: in washing, combing or wearing shoes.

Narrated 'Aisha (R.A)
and 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas (R.A):
When the last moment of the life of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] came he started putting his 'Khamisa' on his face and when he
felt hot and short of breath he took it off his face and said, "May ALLAH [S.W.T]
curse the Jews and Christians for they built the places of Worship at the graves
of their Prophets (P.B.U.T)." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] was warning (Muslims) of
what those had done.

Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "I
have been given five things which were not given to any amongst the Prophets (P.B.U.T)
before me. These are:
1. ALLAH [S.W.T]
made me victorious by awe (by HIS frightening my enemies) for a distance of one
month's journey.
2. The earth has
been made for me (and for my followers) a place for praying and a thing to perform
Tayammum. Therefore, my followers can pray wherever the time of a prayer is due.
3. The booty has
been made Halal (lawful) for me (and was not made so for anyone else).
4. Every Prophet
(P.B.U.T) used to be sent to his nation exclusively but I have been sent to all
mankind.
5. I have been given
the right of intercession (on the Day of Resurrection.)

was-salatil qa'imati, ati Muhammadan al-wasilata wal-fadilata, wab' athhu maqaman
mahmudan-il-ladhi wa' adtahu (O ALLAH! LORD of this perfect call (of not ascribing
partners to YOU) and of the regular prayer which is going to be established! Kindly
give Muhammad [S.A.W.S] the right of intercession and superiority and send him (on
the Day of Judgment) to the best and the highest place in Paradise which YOU promised
him)', then intercession for me will be permitted for him on the Day of Resurrection").
Sahih Bukhari:

Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "The
reward of the prayer offered by a person in congregation is twenty five times greater
than that of the prayer offered in one's house or in the market (alone). And this
is because if he performs ablution and does it perfectly and then proceeds to the
Mosque with the sole intention of praying, then for every step he takes towards
the Mosque, he is upgraded one degree in reward and his one sin is taken off (crossed
out) from his accounts (of deeds). When he offers his prayer, the Angels (P.B.U.T)
keep on asking ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Blessings and ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Forgiveness for him
as long as he is (staying) at his Musalla. They say, 'O ALLAH! Bestow YOUR Blessings
upon him, be Merciful and Kind to him.' And one is regarded in prayer as long as
one is waiting for the prayer."

Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Any
person who takes a bath on Friday like the bath of Janaba and then goes for the
prayer (in the first hour i.e. early), it is as if he had sacrificed a camel (in
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause); and whoever goes in the second hour it is as if he had sacrificed
a cow; and whoever goes in the third hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed a
horned ram; and if one goes in the fourth hour, then it is as if he had sacrificed
a hen; and whoever goes in the fifth hour then it is as if he had offered an egg.
When the Imam comes out (i.e. starts delivering the Khutba), the Angels (P.B.U.T)
present themselves to listen to the Khutba."

puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every
knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.'
When one wakes up and remembers ALLAH [S.W.T], one knot is undone; and when one
performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot
is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise
one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 2, Book 23: Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz), Number 440:
Narrated Ibn Shihab
(R.A):
The funeral prayer should be offered for every
child even if he were the son of a prostitute as he was born with a true faith of
Islam (i.e. to Worship none but ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone). If his parents are Muslims,
particularly the father, even if his mother were a non-Muslim, and if he after the
delivery cries (even once) before his death (i.e. born alive) then the funeral prayer
must be offered. And if the child does not cry after his delivery (i.e. born dead)
then his funeral prayer should not be offered, and he will be considered as a miscarriage.
Abu Huraira (R.A) narrated that the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Every child is
born with a true faith (i.e. to Worship none but ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone) but his parents
convert him to Judaism or to Christianity or to Magainism, as an animal delivers
a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?" Then Abu Huraira (R.A) recited
the holy verses: 'The pure ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Islamic nature (true faith i.e. to Worship
none but ALLAH [S.W.T] Alone), with which HE has created human beings.'" (30.30).
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 2, Book 23: Funerals (Al-Janaa'iz), Number 442:
Narrated Said bin
Al-Musaiyab (R.A) from his father:
When the time of the death of Abu Talib approached,
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] went to him and found Abu Jahl bin Hisham and
'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya bin Al-Mughira by his side. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
said to Abu Talib, "O uncle! Say: None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH
[S.W.T], a sentence with which I shall be a witness (i.e. argue) for you before
ALLAH [S.W.T]. Abu Jahl and 'Abdullah bin Abi Umaiya said, O Abu Talib! Are you
going to denounce the religion of Abdul Muttalib?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] kept on inviting Abu Talib to say it (i.e. 'None has the right to be Worshiped
but ALLAH [S.W.T] while they (Abu Jahl and Abdullah) kept on repeating their statement
till Abu Talib said as his last statement that he was on the religion of Abdul Muttalib
and refused to say, 'None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T].' (Then
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "I will keep on asking ALLAH [S.W.T]'s
forgiveness for you unless I am forbidden (by ALLAH [S.W.T]) to do so." So
ALLAH [S.W.T] revealed (the verse) concerning him (i.e. It is not fitting for the
Prophet (P.B.U.T) and those who believe that they should invoke (ALLAH [S.W.T])
for forgiveness for pagans even though they be of kin, after it has become clear
to them that they are companions of the fire (9.113).

swears falsely by a religion other than Islam, then he is what he has said, (e.g.
if he says, 'If such thing is not true then I am a Jew,' he is really a Jew). And
whoever commits suicide with piece of iron will be punished with the same piece
of iron in the Hell Fire." Narrated Jundab (R.A) the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said,
"A man was inflicted with wounds and he committed suicide, and so ALLAH [S.W.T]
said: MY slave has caused death on himself hurriedly, so I forbid Paradise for him."

(R.A) to Yemen, he said (to him), "You are going to people of a (Divine) Book.
First of all invite them to Worship ALLAH [S.W.T] (Alone) and when they come to
know ALLAH [S.W.T], inform them that ALLAH [S.W.T] has enjoined on them, five prayers
in every day and night; and if they start offering these prayers, inform them that
ALLAH [S.W.T] has enjoined on them, the Zakat. And it is to be taken from the rich
amongst them and given to the poor amongst them; and if they obey you in that, take
Zakat from them and avoid (don't take) the best property of the people as Zakat."
Sahih Bukhari:

Narrated Talha bin
'Ubaid-Ullah (R.A):
A bedouin with unkempt hair came to ALLAH [S.W.T]'s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] and said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Inform me
what ALLAH [S.W.T] has made compulsory for me as regards the prayers." He replied:
"You have to offer perfectly the five compulsory prayers in a day and night
(24 hours), unless you want to pray Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Inform
me what ALLAH [S.W.T] has made compulsory for me as regards fasting." He replied,
"You have to fast during the whole month of Ramadan, unless you want to fast
more as Nawafil." The bedouin further asked, "Tell me how much Zakat ALLAH
[S.W.T] has enjoined on me." Thus, ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] informed
him about all the rules (i.e. fundamentals) of Islam. The bedouin then said, "By
HIM WHO has honored you, I will neither perform any Nawafil nor will I decrease
what ALLAH [S.W.T] has enjoined on me. ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "If
he is saying the truth, he will succeed (or he will be granted Paradise)."

2. "No fasting
is permissible on the two days of Id-ul-Fitr and 'Id-ul-Adha";
3. "No prayer
(may be offered) after the morning compulsory prayer until the sun rises; and no
prayer after the 'Asr prayer till the sun sets";

a laborer and gets the full work done by him but does not pay him his wages.' "
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 3, Book 38: Representation, Authorization, Business by Proxy, Number 505t:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] deputed me to
keep Sadaqat (al-Fitr) of Ramadan. A comer came and started taking handfuls of the
foodstuff (of the Sadaqa) (stealthily). I took hold of him and said, "By ALLAH
[S.W.T], I will take you to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]." He said, "I
am needy and have many dependents, and I am in great need." I released him,
and in the morning ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked me, "What did your
prisoner do yesterday?" I said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]!
The person complained of being needy and of having many dependents, so, I pitied
him and let him go." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Indeed,
he told you a lie and he will be coming again." I believed that he would show
up again as ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] had told me that he would return.
So, I waited for him watchfully. When he (showed up and) started stealing handfuls
of foodstuff, I caught hold of him again and said, "I will definitely take
you to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]. He said, "Leave me, for I am very
needy and have many dependents. I promise I will not come back again." I pitied
him and let him go. In the morning ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked me, "What
did your prisoner do." I replied, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]!
He complained of his great need and of too many dependents, so I took pity on him
and set him free." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "Verily, he
told you a lie and he will return." I waited for him attentively for the third
time, and when he (came and) started stealing handfuls of the foodstuff, I caught
hold of him and said, "I will surely take you to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]
as it is the third time you promise not to return, yet you break your promise and
come." He said, "(Forgive me and) I will teach you some words with which
ALLAH [S.W.T] will benefit you." I asked, "What are they?" He replied,
"Whenever you go to bed, recite "Ayat-al-Kursi"-- 'Allahu la ilaha
illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul Qaiyum' till you finish the whole verse. (If you do so), ALLAH
[S.W.T] will appoint a guard for you who will stay with you and no satan will come
near you till morning." So, I released him. In the morning, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked, "What did your prisoner do yesterday?" I replied,
"He claimed that he would teach me some words by which ALLAH [S.W.T] will benefit
me, so I let him go." ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] asked, "What are
they?" I replied, "He said to me, 'Whenever you go to bed, recite Ayat-al-Kursi
from the beginning to the end ---- Allahu la ilaha illa huwa-l-Haiy-ul-Qaiyum----.'
He further said to me, '(If you do so), ALLAH [S.W.T] will appoint a guard for you
who will stay with you, and no satan will come near you till morning.' (Abu Huraira
(R.A) or another sub-narrator) added that they (the Companions (R.A)) were very
keen to do good deeds. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "He really spoke the truth,
although he is an absolute liar. Do you know whom you were talking to, these three
nights, O Abu Huraira?" Abu Huraira (R.A) said, "No." He said, "It
was satan."

added, "I, Abu Bakr and 'Umar (R.A) believe in the story." The Prophet
[S.A.W.S] went on, "A wolf caught a sheep, and when the shepherd chased it,
the wolf said, 'Who will be its guard on the day of wild beasts, when there will
be no shepherd for it except me?' "After narrating it, the Prophet [S.A.W.S]
said, "I, Abu Bakr and 'Umar (R.A) too believe it." Abu Salama (R.A) (a
sub-narrator) said, "Abu Bakr and 'Umar (R.A) were not present then."

ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "There
are three persons whom ALLAH [S.W.T] will not look at on the Day of Resurrection,
nor will he purify them and theirs shall be a severe punishment. They are:
1. A man possessed
superfluous water, on a way and he withheld it from travelers.
2. A man who gave
a pledge of allegiance to a ruler and he gave it only for worldly benefits. If the
ruler gives him something he gets satisfied, and if the ruler withholds something
from him, he gets dissatisfied.
3. And man displayed
his goods for sale after the 'Asr prayer and he said, 'By ALLAH [S.W.T], except
WHOM None has the right to be Worshiped, I have been given so much for my goods,'
and somebody believes him (and buys them)." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] then recited:
"Verily! Those who purchase a little gain at the cost of ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Covenant
and their oaths." (3.77)

[S.W.T] will fulfill his needs; whoever brought his (Muslim) brother out of a discomfort,
ALLAH [S.W.T] will bring him out of the discomforts of the Day of Resurrection,

oppressed, but how should we help him if he is an oppressor?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
said, "By preventing him from oppressing others."

camels (and distributed them in charity). When he embraced Islam he again slaughtered

asked ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S], 'O ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! What
do you think about some good deeds I used to practice in the pre-Islamic period

did."

badly of the deceased. 'Umar (R.A) said, "It has been affirmed (Hell)."

He said, "I have said what The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said. He said, 'ALLAH [S.W.T]
will admit into paradise any Muslim whose good character is attested by four persons.'

three.' We asked, 'If there were two only?' He said, 'Even two.' But we did not

[S.A.W.S] got up, wishing eagerly to see to whom the flag will be given, and everyone
of them wished to be given the flag. But the Prophet [S.A.W.S] asked for 'Ali (R.A).
Someone informed him that he was suffering from eye-trouble. So, he ordered them
to bring 'Ali (R.A) in front of him. Then The Prophet [S.A.W.S] spat in his eyes
and his eyes were cured immediately as if he had never any eye-trouble. 'Ali (R.A)
said, "We will fight with them (i.e. infidels) till they become like us (i.e.
Muslims)." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Be patient, till you face them
and invite them to Islam and inform them of what ALLAH [S.W.T] has enjoined upon
them. By ALLAH [S.W.T]! If a single person embraces Islam at your hands (i.e. through
you), that will be better for you than the red camels."

another (in rewards)." On that the people said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle

the people preceding your generation, there was a man whom the Angel of death (P.B.U.H)
visited to capture his soul. (So his soul was captured) and he was asked if he had
done any good deed.' He replied, 'I don't remember any good deed.' He was asked
to think it over. He said, 'I do not remember, except that I used to trade with
the people in the world and I used to give a respite to the rich and forgive the
poor (among my debtors). So ALLAH [S.W.T] made him enter Paradise." Hudhaifa

death-bed, who, losing every hope of surviving said to his family: When I die, gather
for me a large heap of wood and make a fire (to burn me). When the fire eats my
meat and reaches my bones, and when the bones burn, take and crush them into powder
and wait for a windy day to throw it (i.e. the powder) over the sea. They did so,

by any evil after this good?" He said, "Yes." I asked, "Will
there be good after that evil?" He said, "Yes, but it would be tainted
with Dakhan (i.e. little evil)." I asked, "What will its Dakhan be?"
He said, "There will be some people who will lead (people) according to principles
other than my tradition. You will see their actions and disapprove of them."
I said, "Will there by any evil after that good?" He said, "Yes,
there will be some people who will invite others to the doors of Hell, and whoever
accepts their invitation to it will be thrown in it (by them)." I said, "O

The Prophet [S.A.W.S] Praised ALLAH [S.W.T] and then mentioned Al-Masih Ad-dajjal
and described him extensively, saying, "ALLAH [S.W.T] did not send any Prophet
(P.B.U.T) but that Prophet (P.B.U.T) warned his nation of Al-Masih Ad-dajjal. Noah
(P.B.U.H) and the Prophets (P.B.U.T) following him warned (their people) of him.
He will appear amongst you (O Muhammad [S.A.W.S]'s followers), and if it happens
that some of his qualities may be hidden from you, but your LORD's State is clear
to you and not hidden from you. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said it thrice. Verily, your
LORD is not blind in one eye, while he (i.e. Ad-dajjal) is blind in the right eye,
which looks like a grape bulging out (of its cluster). No doubt! ALLAH [S.W.T] has
made your blood and your properties sacred to one another like the sanctity of this
day of yours, in this town of yours, in this month of yours." The Prophet [S.A.W.S]
added: No doubt! Haven't I conveyed ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Message to you?" They replied,

said, "Gabriel (P.B.U.H.)?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Yes."
'Abdullah (R.A) said, "He, among the Angels (P.B.U.T) is the enemy of the Jews."
On that The Prophet [S.A.W.S] recited this Holy Verse:-- "Whoever is an enemy
to Gabriel (P.B.U.H) (let him die in his fury!) for he has brought it (i.e. Qur'an)
down to your heart by ALLAH [S.W.T]’s permission." (2.97) Then he added, "As
for the first portent of the Hour, it will be a fire that will collect the people
from the East to West. And as for the first meal of the people of Paradise , it will be the caudite (i.e. extra) lobe of the
fish liver. And if a man's discharge proceeded that of the woman, then the child
resembles the father, and if the woman's discharge proceeded that of the man, then
the child resembles the mother." On hearing that, 'Abdullah (R.A) said, "I
testify that None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T], and that you
are the Apostle of ALLAH [S.W.T], O, ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]; the Jews
are liars, and if they should come to know that I have embraced Islam, they would
accuse me of being a liar." In the meantime, some Jews came (to The Prophet
[S.A.W.S]) and he asked them, "What is 'Abdullah (R.A)'s status amongst you?"
They replied, "He is the best amongst us, and he is our chief and the son of
our chief." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "What would you think if 'Abdullah
bin Salam (R.A) embraced Islam?" They replied, "May ALLAH [S.W.T] protect
him from this!" Then 'Abdullah (R.A) came out and said, "I testify that
none has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH [S.W.T] and that Muhammad [S.A.W.S]
is the Apostle of ALLAH [S.W.T]." The Jews then said, "Abdullah (R.A)
is the worst of us and the son of the worst of us," and disparaged him. On
that 'Abdullah (R.A) said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! This is what
I was afraid of!"

of ALLAH [S.W.T] whereupon ALLAH [S.W.T] said, "What is the matter?' On that,
it said, 'I seek refuge with you from those who sever the ties of Kith and kin.'
On that ALLAH [S.W.T] said, 'Will you be satisfied if I bestow MY favors on him
who keeps your ties, and withhold MY favors from him who severs your ties?' On that
it said, 'Yes, O my LORD!' Then ALLAH [S.W.T] said, 'That is for you.'" Abu
Huraira (R.A) added: If you wish, you can recite: "Would you then if you were
given the authority do mischief in the land and sever your ties of kinship. (47.

and it kept on coming closer and closer to him till his horse started jumping (as

This suggestion was difficult for them so they said, "Who among us has the
power to do so, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]?" ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S] replied: "ALLAH (the) ONE, the SELF-SUFFICIENT MASTER WHOM all Creatures
need.' (Surat Al-Ikhlas 112.1--to the End) is equal to one third of the Qur'an."

(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, 'Nations
were displayed before me; one or two Prophets (P.B.U.T) would pass by along with
a few followers. A Prophet (P.B.U.H) would pass by accompanied by nobody. Then a
big crowd of people passed in front of me and I asked, Who are they? Are they my
followers?" It was said, 'No. It is Moses (P.B.U.H) (and his followers. It
was said to me, 'Look at the horizon.'' Behold! There was a multitude of people
filling the horizon. Then it was said to me, 'Look there and there about the stretching
sky! Behold! There was a multitude filling the horizon,' It was said to me, 'This
is your nation out of whom seventy thousand shall enter Paradise
without reckoning.' "Then The Prophet [S.A.W.S] entered his house without telling
his companions (R.A) who they (the 70,000) were. So the people started talking about
the issue and said, "It is we who have believed in ALLAH [S.W.T] and followed
HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S]; therefore those people are either ourselves or our children
who are born in the Islamic era, for we were born in the Pre-Islamic Period of Ignorance.''
When The Prophet [S.A.W.S] heard of that, he came out and said. "Those people
are those who do not treat themselves with Ruqya, nor do they believe in bad or
good omen (from birds etc.) nor do they get themselves branded (Cauterized) but
they put their trust (Only) in their LORD " On that 'Ukasha bin Muhsin (R.A)
said. "Am I one of them, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]?' The Prophet
[S.A.W.S] said, "Yes." Then another person got up and said, "Am I
one of them?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, 'Ukasha (R.A) has anticipated you."

was a punishment which ALLAH [S.W.T] used to send on whom HE wished, but ALLAH [S.W.T]
made it a blessing for the believers. None (among the believers) remains patient
in a land in which plague has broken out and considers that nothing will befall
him except what ALLAH [S.W.T] has ordained for him, but that ALLAH [S.W.T] will
grant him a reward similar to that of a martyr."

his sins as if he were sitting under a mountain which, he is afraid, may fall on
him; whereas the wicked person considers his sins as flies passing over his nose
and he just drives them away like this." (The sub-narrator) Abu Shihab (R.A)
moved his hand over his nose in illustration. (Ibn Mas'ud (R.A) added): ALLAH [S.W.T]'s
Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] is more pleased with the repentance
of HIS slave than a man who encamps at a place where his life is jeopardized, but
he has his riding beast carrying his food and water. He then rests his head and
sleeps for a short while and wakes to find his riding beast gone. (He starts looking
for it) and suffers from severe heat and thirst or what ALLAH [S.W.T] wished (him
to suffer from). He then says, 'I will go back to my place.' He returns and sleeps
again, and then (getting up), he raises his head to find his riding beast standing
beside him."

once a week, and if you won't, then preach them twice, but if you want to preach
more, then let it be three times (a week only), and do not make the people fed-up
with this Qur'an. If you come to some people who are engaged in a talk, don't start
interrupting their talk by preaching, lest you should cause them to be bored. You
should rather keep quiet, and if they ask you, then preach to them at the time when
they are eager to hear what you say. And avoid the use of rhymed prose in invocation
for I noticed that ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Apostle [S.A.W.S] and his companions (R.A) always
avoided it."

the punishment of the Fire, the afflictions of the grave, the punishment in the
grave, and the evil of the affliction of poverty and from the evil of the affliction
caused by Al-masih Ad-dajjal. O ALLAH [S.W.T]! Wash away my sins with the water

Al-Khudri (R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "The
thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which ALLAH [S.W.T]
will bring forth to you." It was said, "What are the blessings of this
world?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "The pleasures of the world."
A man said, "Can the good bring forth evil?" The Prophet [S.A.W.S] kept
quiet for a while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started
removing the sweat from his forehead and said," Where is the questioner?"
That man said, "I (am present)." Abu Sa'id (R.A) added: We thanked the
man when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Good
never brings forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet
(fruit), and all the vegetation which grows on the bank of a stream either kills
or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it, except the animal that eats
the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is full
and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and
urine and goes to eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if
a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way and spends it properly, then it is
an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be like the
one who eats but is never satisfied."

him and he gave me and he then said, "This wealth is (like) green and sweet
(fruit), and whoever takes it without greed, ALLAH [S.W.T] will bless it for him,
but whoever takes it with greed, ALLAH [S.W.T] will not bless it for him, and he
will be like the one who eats but is never satisfied. And the upper (giving) hand
is better than the lower (taking) hand."

his own wealth more." The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "So his wealth is whatever
he spends (in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause) during his life (on good deeds) while the wealth
of his heirs is whatever he leaves after his death."

Verily ALLAH [S.W.T] Created Mercy. The day HE Created it, HE made it into one hundred
parts. HE withheld with HIM ninety-nine parts, and sent its one part to all HIS
Creatures. Had the non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of
ALLAH [S.W.T], he would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer
known of all the punishment which is present with ALLAH [S.W.T], he would not consider

My ears heard and my heart grasped (the statement
which) the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "The period for keeping one's guest is three
days (and don't forget) his reward." It was asked, "What is his reward?"
He said, "In the first night and the day he should be given a high class quality
of meals; and whoever believes in ALLAH [S.W.T] and the Last Day, should entertain
his guest generously; and whoever believes in ALLAH [S.W.T] and the Last Day should
talk what is good (sense) or keep quiet."

Narrated Abu Musa
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said. "My
example and the example of the message with which ALLAH [S.W.T] has sent me is like
that of a man who came to some people and said, "I have seen with my own eyes
the enemy forces, and I am a naked Warner (to you) so save yourself, save yourself!
A group of them obeyed him and went out at night, slowly and stealthily and were
safe, while another group did not believe him and thus the army took them in the
morning and destroyed them."

(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] said, "If

to whom he has been made superior."

Volume 8, Book 76: To Make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq), Number 501:
Narrated Abu Sa'id
Al-Khudri (R.A):
A bedouin came to the Prophet [S.A.W.S] and said,
"O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]! Who is the best of mankind!" The
Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "A man who strives for ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Cause with his
life and property, and also a man who lives (all alone) in a mountain path among
the mountain paths to Worship his LORD and save the people from his evil."
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 8, Book 76: To Make the Heart Tender (Ar-Riqaq), Number 504:
Narrated Hudhaifa
(R.A):
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] narrated to us
two narrations, one of which I have seen (happening) and I am waiting for the other.
He narrated that honesty was preserved in the roots of the hearts of men (in the
beginning) and then they learnt it (honesty) from the Qur'an, and then they learnt
it from the (Prophet [S.A.W.S]'s) Sunna (tradition). He also told us about its disappearance,
saying, "A man will go to sleep whereupon honesty will be taken away from his
heart, and only its trace will remain, resembling the traces of fire. He then will
sleep whereupon the remainder of the honesty will also be taken away (from his heart)
and its trace will resemble a blister which is raised over the surface of skin,
when an ember touches one's foot; and in fact, this blister does not contain anything.
So there will come a day when people will deal in business with each other but there
will hardly be any trustworthy persons among them. Then it will be said that in
such-and-such a tribe there is such-and-such person who is honest, and a man will
be admired for his intelligence, good manners and strength, though indeed he will
not have belief equal to a mustard seed in his heart." The narrator added:
There came upon me a time when I did not mind dealing with anyone of you, for if
he was a Muslim, his religion would prevent him from cheating; and if he was a Christian,
his Muslim ruler would prevent him from cheating; but today I cannot deal except
with so-and-so and so-and-so.

as a companion rider and there was nothing between me and him except the back of
the saddle, he said, "O Mu'adh!" I replied, "Labbaik O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Apostle [S.A.W.S]! And Sa'diak!" He proceeded for a while and then said, "O
Mu'adh!" I said, "Labbaik and Sa'daik, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S]!"
He then proceeded for another while and said, "O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" I
replied, "Labbaik, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S], and Sa'daik!"
He said, "Do you know what is ALLAH [S.W.T]’s right on HIS slaves?" I
replied, "ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know better." He said,
"ALLAH [S.W.T]’s right on HIS slaves is that they should Worship HIM and not
Worship anything besides HIM." He then proceeded for a while, and again said,
"O Mu'adh bin Jabal!" I replied. "Labbaik, O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle
[S.A.W.S], and Sa'daik." He said, "Do you know what is (ALLAH [S.W.T]’s)
slaves' (people's) right on ALLAH [S.W.T] if they did that?" I replied, "ALLAH
[S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know better." He said, "The right of
(ALLAH [S.W.T]’s) slaves on ALLAH [S.W.T] is that HE should not punish them (if
they did that)."

Hour will not be established till the sun rises from the west, and when it rises
(from the west) and the people see it, then all of them will believe (in ALLAH [S.W.T]).
But that will be the time when 'No good it will do to a soul to believe then. If
it believed not before.."' (6.158) The Hour will be established (so suddenly)
that two persons spreading a garment between them will not be able to finish their
bargain, nor will they be able to fold it up. The Hour will be established while
a man is carrying the milk of his she-camel, but cannot drink it; and the Hour will
be established when someone is not able to prepare the tank to water his livestock
from it; and the Hour will be established when some of you has raised his food to
his mouth but cannot eat it."

As-Samit (R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Who-ever loves
to meet ALLAH [S.W.T], ALLAH [S.W.T] (too) loves to meet him and who-ever hates
to meet ALLAH [S.W.T], ALLAH [S.W.T] (too) hates to meet him". 'Aisha (R.A),
or some of the wives of the Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "But we dislike death."
He said: It is not like this, but it is meant that when the time of the death of
a believer approaches, he receives the good news of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s pleasure with
him and HIS Blessings upon him, and so at that time nothing is dearer to him than
what is in front of him. He therefore loves the meeting with ALLAH [S.W.T], and
ALLAH [S.W.T] (too) loves the meeting with him. But when the time of the death of
a disbeliever approaches, he receives the evil news of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s torment and
HIS Requital, whereupon nothing is more hateful to him than what is before him.
Therefore, he hates the meeting with ALLAH [S.W.T], and ALLAH [S.W.T] too, hates
the meeting with him."

He said, "A believer is relieved (by death) from the troubles and hardships
of the world and leaves for the Mercy of ALLAH [S.W.T], while (the death of) a wicked
person relieves the people, the land, the trees, (and) the animals from him."

ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] used to say at
the time of difficulty, "None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH, the
MAJESTIC, the MOST FORBEARING. None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH, the
LORD of the Tremendous Throne. None has the right to be Worshiped but ALLAH, the
LORD of the Heavens and the LORD of the Honourable Throne.

Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "(There are) three
(types of persons to whom) ALLAH [S.W.T] will neither speak to them on the Day of
Resurrections, nor look at them (They are):--
(1) a man who takes
a false oath that he has been offered for a commodity a price greater than what
he has actually been offered;
(2) and a man who
takes a false oath after the 'Asr (prayer) in order to grab the property of a Muslim
through it;
(3) and a man who
forbids others to use the remaining superfluous water. To such a man ALLAH [S.W.T]
will say on the Day of Resurrection, 'Today I withhold MY Blessings from you as
you withheld the superfluous part of that (water) which your hands did not create.'"
Sahih Bukhari:
Volume 9, Book 93: Oneness, Uniqueness of ALLAH [S.W.T] (Tawheed), Number 539:
Narrated Abu Bakr
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, "Time has come
back to its original state which it had when ALLAH [S.W.T] Created the Heavens and
the Earth, the year is twelve months, of which four are sacred; (and out of these
four) three are in succession, namely, Dhul-Qa'da, Dhul-Hijja and Muharram, and
(the fourth one) Rajab Mudar which is between Jumad (Ath-Tham) and Sha'ban."
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] then asked us, "Which month is this?" We said, "ALLAH
[S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know (it) better." He kept quiet so long
that we thought he might call it by another name. Then he said, "Isn't it Dhul-Hijja?"
We said, "Yes." He asked "What town is this?" We said, "ALLAH
[S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know (it) better.' Then he kept quiet so long
that we thought he might call it by another name. He then said, "Isn't it the
(forbidden) town (Mecca)?" We said, "Yes." He asked, "What is
the day today?" We said, "ALLAH [S.W.T] and HIS Apostle [S.A.W.S] know
(it) better. Then he kept quiet so long that we thought that he might call it by
another name. Then he said, "Isn't it the Day of An-Nahr (slaughtering of sacrifices)?"
We said, "Yes." Then he said, "Your blood (lives), your properties,"
(the sub narrator Muhammad (R.A), said: I think he also said): "..and your
honor) are as sacred to one another like the sanctity of this Day of yours, in this
town of yours, in this month of yours. You shall meet your LORD and HE will ask
you about your deeds. Beware! Don't go astray after me by striking the necks of
one another. Lo! It is incumbent upon those who are present to inform it to those
who are absent for perhaps the informed one might comprehend it (understand it)
better than some of the present audience." Whenever the sub-narrator Muhammad
(R.A) mentioned that statement, he would say, "The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said the
truth.") And then the Prophet [S.A.W.S] added, "No doubt! Haven't I conveyed
ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Message to you! No doubt! Haven't I conveyed ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Message
to you?"

example of a believer is that of a fresh green plant the leaves of which move in
whatever direction the wind forces them to move and when the wind becomes still,
it stand straight. Such is the similitude of the believer: He is disturbed by calamities
(but is like the fresh plant he regains his normal state soon). And the example
of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (which remains) hard and straight till ALLAH
[S.W.T] cuts it down when HE will."

said: The Fast is for ME and I will give the reward for it, as he (the one who observes
the fast) leaves his sexual desire, food and drink for MY Sake. Fasting is a screen
(from Hell) and there are two pleasures for a fasting person, one at the time of
breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his LORD. And the
smell of the mouth of a fasting person is better in ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Sight than the
smell of musk."

this place I seek refuge with YOU from all those who sever me (i.e. sever the ties
of Kinship.)" ALLAH [S.W.T] said: "Would you be pleased that I will keep
good relation with the one who will keep good relation with you, and I will sever
the relation with the one who will sever the relation with you. It said: 'Yes, 'O
my LORD.' ALLAH [S.W.T] said (to it), 'That is for you.'' And then Abu Huraira (R.A)

in the land, and sever your ties of kinship." (47.22)

without committing any sin for a while and then again commits another sin and says,
'O my LORD, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and ALLAH [S.W.T]
says, 'MY slave has known that he has a LORD WHO forgives sins and punishes for
it, I therefore have forgiven my slave (his sin). Then he remains without committing
any another sin for a while and then commits another sin (for the third time) and
says, 'O my LORD, I have committed another sin, please forgive me,' and ALLAH [S.W.T]
says, 'MY slave has known that he has a LORD WHO forgives sins and punishes for

reply, 'yes, but I like to cultivate the land (ALLAH [S.W.T] will permit him and)
he will sow the seeds, and within seconds the plants will grow and ripen and (the
yield) will be harvested and piled in heaps like mountains. On that ALLAH [S.W.T]
will say (to him), "Take, here you are, O son of Adam (P.B.U.H), for nothing
satisfies you.' "On that the bedouin said, "O ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle

recent news from ALLAH [S.W.T] and is pure and not distorted? ALLAH [S.W.T] has
told you that the people of the Scriptures have changed some of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Books and distorted it and wrote something with their own hands and said, 'This
is from ALLAH [S.W.T], so as to have a minor gain for it. Won't the knowledge that

a man from them asking you about that (the Book Al-Qur'an) which has been revealed

There were good relations and brotherhood between
this tribe of Jurm and the Ash'ariyyin. Once, while we were sitting with Abu Musa
Al-Ash'ari (R.A), there was brought to him a meal which contained chicken meat,
and there was sitting beside him, a man from the tribe of Bani Taimul-lah who looked
like one of the Mawali. Abu Musa (R.A) invited the man to eat but the man said,
"I have seen chicken eating some dirty things, and I have taken an oath not
to eat chicken." Abu Musa (R.A) said to him, "Come along, let me tell
you something in this regard. Once I went to the Prophet [S.A.W.S] with a few men
from Ash'ariyyin and we asked him for mounts. The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said, By ALLAH
[S.W.T], I will not mount you on anything; besides I do not have anything to mount
you on.' Then a few camels from the war booty were brought to the Prophet [S.A.W.S],
and he asked about us, saying, 'Where are the group of Ash'ariyyin?' So he ordered
for five fat camels to be given to us and then we set out. We said, 'What have we
done? ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] took an oath that he would not give us anything
to ride and that he had nothing for us to ride, yet he provided us with mounts.
We made ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] forget his oath! By ALLAH [S.W.T], we
will never be successful.' So we returned to him and reminded him of his oath. He
said, 'I have not provided you with the mount, but ALLAH [S.W.T] has done so. By
ALLAH [S.W.T], I may take an oath to do something, but on finding something else
which is better, I do that which is better and make the expiation for my oath.'"

That he came to Medina and said: Something had
gone wrong with my eyesight. I, therefore, sent (a message to the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]):
Verily it is my ardent desire that you should kindly grace my house with your presence
and observe prayer there so, that I should make that corner a place of Worship.
He said: The Prophet [S.A.W.S] came there, and those amongst the Companions (R.A)
whom ALLAH [S.W.T] willed also accompanied him. He entered (my place) and offered
prayer at my residence and his companions (R.A) began to talk amongst themselves
(and this conversation centered round hypocrites), and then the conspicuous one,
Malik b. Dukhshum was made the target and they wished that he (the Holy Prophet
[S.A.W.S]) should curse him and he should die or he should meet some calamity. In
the meanwhile, the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] completed his prayer and
said: Does Malik b. Dukhshum not testify the fact that there is no god but ALLAH
[S.W.T] and verily I am the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]. They replied: He makes a
profession of it (no doubt) but does not do it out of (sincere) heart. He (the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: He who testifies that there is no god but ALLAH [S.W.T]
and I am the messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] would not enter Hell or its (flames) would
not consume him. Anas (R.A) said: This hadith impressed me very much and I told

this he (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) remarked: HE (ALLAH [S.W.T]) said: Some of
MY bondsmen entered the morning as MY believers and some as unbelievers. He who
said: We have had a rainfall due to the Blessing and Mercy of ALLAH [S.W.T], he

O womenfolk, you should give charity and ask much forgiveness for I saw you in bulk
amongst the dwellers of Hell. A wise lady among them said: Why is it, Messenger
of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], that our folk is in bulk in Hell? Upon this the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S] observed: You curse too much and are ungrateful to your spouses.
I have seen none lacking in common sense and failing in religion but (at the same
time) robbing the wisdom of the wise, besides you. Upon this the woman remarked:
What is wrong with our common sense and with religion? He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S])
observed: Your lack of common sense (can be well judged from the fact) that the
evidence of two women is equal to one man, that is a proof of the lack of common
sense, and you spend some nights (and days) in which you do not offer prayer and
in the month of Ramadan (during the days) you do not observe fast, that is a failing
in religion. This hadith has been narrated on the authority of Abu Tahir (R.A) with
this chain of transmitters.

is this? He replied: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], these have been drenched
by rainfall. He (the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) remarked: Why did you not place this
(the drenched part of the heap) over other eatables so that the people could see

None is obliged to give votive offering (of a thing) which is not in his possession
and the cursing of a believer is tantamount to killing him, and he who killed himself
with a thing in this world would be tormented with that (very thing) on the Day
of Resurrection, and he who made a false claim to increase (his wealth), ALLAH [S.W.T]

his left arm like that, then wiped his head; then washed his right foot up to the
ankle three times, then washed his left foot like that, and then said: I saw the
Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] perform ablution like this ablution of mine.
Then the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] said: He who performs ablution like
this ablution of mine and then stood up (for prayer) and offered two rak'ahs of
prayer without allowing his thoughts to be distracted, all his previous sins are
expiated. Ibn Shihab (R.A) said: Our scholars remarked: This is the most complete
of the ablutions performed for prayer.

these words of his: If any Muslim performs ablution well, then stands and prays
two rak'ahs setting about them with his heart as well as his face, Paradise would
be guaranteed to him. I said: What a fine thing is this! And a narrator who was
before me said: The first was better than even this. When I cast a glance, I saw
that it was 'Umar (R.A) who said: I see that you have just come and observed: If
anyone amongst you performs the ablution, and then completes the ablution well and
then says: I testify that there is no god but ALLAH and that Muhammad [S.A.W.S]

water, or with the last drop of water; when he washes his hands, every sin they
wrought will be effaced from his hands with the water, or with the last drop of
water; and when he washes his feet, every sin towards which his feet have walked
will be washed away with the water or with the last drop of water with the result
that he comes out pure from all sins.

You are my companions, and our brothers are those who have, so far, not come into
the world. They said: ALLAH [S.W.T]'s Messenger [S.A.W.S], how would you recognize
those persons of your Ummah who have not yet been born? He said: Suppose a man had
horses with white blazes on foreheads and legs among horses which were all black,
tell me, would he not recognize his own horses? They said: Certainly. ALLAH [S.W.T]'s
Messenger [S.A.W.S]. He said: They would come with white faces and arms and legs
owing to ablution, and I would arrive at the Cistern before them. Some people would
be driven away from my Cistern as the stray camel is driven away. I would call out.
Come, come. Then it would be said (to me): These people changed themselves after
you, and I would say: Be off, be off.

in the Book of ALLAH [S.W.T], and the best of the guidance is the guidance given
by Muhammad [S.A.W.S]. And the most evil affairs are their innovations; and every
innovation is error." He would further say: I am more dear to a Muslim even

dies under debt or leaves children (in helplessness) the responsibility (of paying
his debt and bringing up his children) lies on me."

ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Apostle [S.A.W.S] as saying: The
similitude of that guidance and knowledge with which ALLAH [S.W.T], the Exalted
and Glorious, has sent me is that of rain falling upon the earth. There is a good
piece of land which receives the rainfall (eagerly) and as a result of it there
is grown in it herbage and grass abundantly. Then there is a land hard and barren
which retains water and the people derive benefit from it and they drink it and
make the animals drink. Then there is another land which is barren. Neither water
is retained in it, nor is the grass grown in it. And that is the similitude of the
first one who develops the understanding of the religion of ALLAH [S.W.T] and it
becomes a source of benefit to him with which ALLAH [S.W.T] sent me. (The second
one is that) who acquires the knowledge of religion and imparts it to others. (Then
the other type is) one who does not pay attention to (the revealed knowledge) and
thus does not accept guidance of ALLAH [S.W.T] with which I have been sent.

building).

While a Jew was selling goods, he was given something
which he did not accept or he did not agree (to accept) that 'Abdul 'Aziz (R.A)
(one of the narrators) is doubtful about it. He (the Jew) said: By ALLAH [S.W.T],
WHO chose Moses (P.B.U.H) among mankind. A person from the Ansar heard it and gave
a blow at his face saying: (You have the audacity) to say: By HIM WHO chose Moses
(P.B.U.H) amongst mankind, whereas ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] is living
amongst us. The Jew went to ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] and said: Abu'l-Qasim
[S.A.W.S], I am a Dhimmi and (thus need your protection) by a covenant, and added:
Such and such person has given a blow upon my face. Thereupon ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S] said: Why did you give a blow on his face? He said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S], this man said: By HIM WHO chose Moses (P.B.U.H) amongst mankind, whereas
you are living amongst us. ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] became angry and
signs of anger could be seen on his face, and then said: Don't make distinction
amongst The Prophets (P.B.U.T) of ALLAH [S.W.T]. When the horn will be blown and
whatever is in the heavens and the earth would swoon but he whom ALLAH [S.W.T] grants
exception, then another horn will be blown and I would be the first amongst those
who would recover and Moses (P.B.U.H) would be catching hold of the Throne and I
do not know whether it is a compensation for that when he swooned on the Day of
Tur or he would be resurrected before me and I do not say that anyone is more excellent
than Yunus son of Matta (P.B.U.H). This hadith has been narrated on the authority
of Abu Salama (R.A) with the same chain of transmitters.

Messenger [S.A.W.S], we observed evening prayer with you, then we said: Let us sit
down and observe night prayer along with you, whereupon he said: You have done well
or you have done right. He then lifted his head towards the sky and it often happened
that as he lifted his head towards the sky, he said: The stars are a source of security
for the sky and when the stars disappear there comes to the sky, i.e. (it meets
the same fate) as it has been promised (it would plunge into darkness). And I am
a source of safety and security to my Companions (R.A) and when I would go away

said: A poor man amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth. He
(the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: The poor of my Ummah would be he who would come
on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakat but (he would find himself
bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues) since he hurled
abuses upon others, brought calumny against others and unlawfully consumed the wealth
of others and shed the blood of others and beat others, and his virtues would be
credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds
fall short to clear the account, then his sins would be entered in (his account)
and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire.

would turn it in HIS Hand as one of you turns a loaf while on a journey. It would
be a feast arranged in the honor of the people of Paradise. He (the narrator) further
narrated that a person from among the Jews came and he said: Abu al-Qasim [S.A.W.S],
May the COMPASSIONATE LORD be pleased with you! May I inform you about the feast
arranged in honor of the people of Paradise on the Day of Resurrection? He said:
Do it, of course. He said: The earth would become one single bread. Then ALLAH [S.W.T]’s
Messenger [S.A.W.S] looked towards us and laughed until his molar teeth became visible.
He then again said: May I inform you about that with which they would season it?
He said: Do it, of course. He said: Their seasoning would be balim and fish. The
Companions (R.A) of the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S] said: What is this balam? He said:
Ox and fish from whose excessive livers seventy thousand people would be able to
eat.

iblis places his throne upon water; he then sends detachments (for creating dissension);
the nearer to him in tank are those who are most notorious in creating dissension.
One of them comes and says: I did so and so. And he says: You have done nothing.
Then one amongst them comes and says: I did not spare so and so until I sowed the
seed of discord between a husband and a wife. The satan goes near him and says:
'You have done well. A'mash (R.A) said: He then embraces him.

happy for none would be able to get into Paradise because of his deeds alone. They
(the Companions (R.A) of the Holy Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger
[S.A.W.S], not even thou? Thereupon he said: Not even I, but that ALLAH [S.W.T]

is one which is done constantly even though it is insignificant.

you do this (in spite of the fact) that your earlier and later sins have been pardoned
for you? Thereupon, he said: A'isha (R.A) should I not prove myself to be a thanks
giving servant (of ALLAH [S.W.T])?

Abu Huraira (R.A)
narrated:
"ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] said:
The best day that the sun has risen upon is Friday. On it Adam (P.B.U.H) was created,
on it he entered Paradise, and on it, he was sent down from it. And in it there
is an hour in which the Muslim worshipper would not stand in Salat, asking ALLAH
[S.W.T] for anything except that HE would give it to him.'" Abu Huraira (R.A)
said: "I met Abdullah bin Salam (R.A), and I mentioned this Hadith to him.
He said: 'I am more knowledgeable about that hour.' So I said: 'Inform me about
it, and do not keep any of it from me.' He said: 'It is after al-Asr until the sun
has set.' I said: 'How can it be after Al-Asr when ALLAH [S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S]
said: 'the Muslim worshipper would not stand in Salat.' And that is a time that
prayer is not performed in?" So Abdullah bin Salam (R.A) said: 'Didn't ALLAH
[S.W.T]’s Messenger [S.A.W.S] say: "Whoever sat in a gathering awaiting the
Salat then he is in Salat"? I said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Then that is it.'"
Sunan Abi Dawud:
Chapter 1, Book 26: Knowledge (Kitab Al-Ilm), Hadith 1:
Narrated Kathir ibn
Qays (R.A):
Kathir ibn Qays (R.A) said: I was sitting with
Abud Darda' (R.A) in the Mosque of Damascus. A man came to him and said: Abud Darda
(R.A), I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T]
[S.A.W.S]. I have come for no other purpose. He said: I heard the Messenger of ALLAH
[S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] say: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, ALLAH
[S.W.T] will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The Angels (P.B.U.T)
will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the
inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask
forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout
is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars.
The learned are the heirs of the Prophets (P.B.U.T), and the Prophets (P.B.U.T)
leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes
an abundant portion.
Sunan Abi Dawud:
Chapter 1, Book 26: Knowledge (Kitab Al-Ilm), Hadith 3:
Abu Huraira (R.A)
reported:
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] as saying: If anyone pursues
a path in search of knowledge, ALLAH [S.W.T] will thereby make easy for him a path
to Paradise; and he who is made slow by his actions will not be speeded by his genealogy.

Sunan Abi Dawud:
Chapter 10, Book 26: Knowledge (Kitab Al-Ilm), Hadith 21:
Sahl b. Sa’d (R.A)
reported:
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] as saying: I swear on ALLAH
[S.W.T], it will be better for you that ALLAH [S.W.T] should give guidance to one
man through your agency than that you should acquire the red ones among the camels.
Sunan Abi Dawud:
Chapter 12, Book 26: Knowledge (Kitab Al-Ilm), Hadith 24:
Narrated Abu Huraira
(R.A):
The Prophet [S.A.W.S] said: If anyone acquires
knowledge of things by which ALLAH [S.W.T]'s good pleasure is sought, but acquires
it only to get some worldly advantage, he will not experience the arf, i.e. the
odour, of Paradise.
"And strive for ALLAH with the striving due to HIM. HE
has chosen you and has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty. [It is]
the religion of your father, Abraham. ALLAH named you "Muslims" before
[in former scriptures] and in this [revelation] that the Messenger may be a witness
over you and you may be witnesses over the people. So establish prayer and give
zakah and hold fast to ALLAH. HE is your PROTECTOR; and excellent is the PROTECTOR,
and excellent is the HELPER."
"Indeed, the Muslim men and Muslim women, the believing
men and believing women, the obedient men and obedient women, the truthful men and
truthful women, the patient men and patient women, the humble men and humble women,
the charitable men and charitable women, the fasting men and fasting women, the
men who guard their private parts and the women who do so, and the men who remember
ALLAH often and the women who do so - for them ALLAH has prepared forgiveness and
a great reward."
