Peace upon the Last Prophet [S.A.W.S]
Sahih Muslim,
Chapter 85, Book 1: Faith (Kitab Al Iman), Number 0397:
'Abdullah b. Amr
b. al-'As (R.A) reported:
Verily the Apostle of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
recited the words of ALLAH [S.W.T], the GREAT and GLORIOUS, that Ibrahim
(P.B.U.H) uttered. My LORD! Lo! They have led many of mankind astray:" But
whoso followeth me, he verily is of me" (al-Qur'an, 14.35) and Jesus
(P.B.U.H) said:" If THOU punisheth them, Lo! They are THY slaves, and if
THOU forgiveth them-verily THOU art the MIGHTY, the WISE" (al-Qur'an,
5.117). Then he raised his hands and said: O LORD, my Ummah, my Ummah, and
wept; so ALLAH [S.W.T] the HIGH and the EXALTED 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 to your Ummah and would not displease thee.

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.

me, for everyone who invokes a Blessing on me will receive ten Blessings from
ALLAH [S.W.T]; then beg from ALLAH [S.W.T] al-Wasila for me, which is a rank in
Paradise fitting for only one of ALLAH [S.W.T]’s servants, and I hope that I
may be that one. If anyone who asks that I be given the Wasila, he will be
assured of my intercession.

Abu Qatada
al-Ansari (R.A) reported:
That the Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S]
was asked about his fasting. The Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S] felt
annoyed. Thereupon ‘Umar (R.A) said: We are pleased with ALLAH [S.W.T] as the
LORD, with Islam as our Code of Life, with Muhammad [S.A.W.S] as the Messenger
and with our pledge (to you for willing and cheerful submission) as a (sacred)
commitment. He was then asked about perpetual fasting, whereupon he said: He
neither fasted nor did he break it, or he did not fast and he did not break it.
He was then asked about fasting for two days and breaking one day. He (the Holy
Prophet [S.A.W.S]) said: And who has strength enough to do it? He was asked
about fasting for a day and breaking for two days, whereupon he said: May ALLAH
[S.W.T] bestow upon us strength to do it. He was then asked about fasting for a
day and breaking on the other, whereupon he said: That is the fasting of my
brother David (P.B.U.H). He was then asked about fasting on Monday, whereupon
he said: It was the day on which I was Born, on which I was commissioned with
Prophethood or Revelation was sent to me, (and he further) said: Three days’
fasting every month and of the whole of Ramadan every year is a perpetual fast.
He was asked about fasting on the day of ‘Arafa (9th of Dhu’I-Hijja), whereupon
he said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year and the coming year. He was
asked about fasting on the day of ‘Ashura (10th of Muharram), whereupon be
said: It expiates the sins of the preceding year. (Imam Muslim (R.A) said: That
in this Hadith there is a) narration of Imam Shu’ba that he was asked about
fasting on Monday and Thursday, but we (Imam Muslim (R.A)) did not mention
Thursday for we found it as an error (in reporting).

died, on it the last trumpet will be blown, and on it the shout will be made,
so invoke more blessings on me that day, for your blessings will be submitted
to me. The people asked: Messenger of ALLAH [S.W.T] [S.A.W.S], how can it be
that our blessings will be submitted to you while your body is decayed? He
replied: ALLAH [S.W.T], the EXALTED, has prohibited the earth from consuming
the bodies of Prophets (P.B.U.T).
