Narrated ‘Abdullâh bin ‘Abbâs
: Allah’s Messenger said that Allah the
Glorious said, “Verily, Allah has ordered
that the good and the bad deeds be written down.
Then He explained it clearly how (to write):He
who intends to do a good deed and he does not
do it, then Allah records it for him as a full
good deed, but if he carries out his intention,
the Glorious and the Great Allah writes it down
for him with Him as from ten to seven hundred
times, and even many times more. But if he intends
to do an evil act and has not done it, then Allah
writes it down with Him as a full good deed, but
if he intends it and has done it, Allah writes
it down as one bad deed. (Al-Bukhâri and
Muslim) |

Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs and Anas bin
Mâlik: Allah’s Messenger said, “If
a son of man had a valley full of gold, he would
desire to have two. Nothing can fill his mouth
except the earth (of the grave). Allah turns with
mercy to him who turns to Him in repentance.”
(Al-Bukhâri and Muslim) |
|
Narrated Abû Mâlik Al-Hârith
bin Âsim Al-Ash’ari: Allah’s
Messenger said, “Cleanliness is half of
Faith; the utterance of Allah (Al-hamdu lillah
– all praise belongs to Allah) fills the
scales of good actions; the utterance of Allah
(Glory be to Allah and all praise belongs to Allah)
fills the space between the heavens and the earth,
and Salât (prayer) is light; and charity
is the proof of Faith; and endurance is a light,
and the Qur’ân is a plea in your favour
or against you. Every person begins the morning
ready to strike a deal with his soul as a stake;
he either ransoms it or puts it into perdition.”
(Muslim) |
|
Narrated Abû Sa’id Al-Khudri :Certain
people of the Ansâr begged of Allah’s
Messenger and he gave them; then they again begged
of him and he gave them until all what he possessed
was exhausted. Then the Prophet said, “Whatever
wealth I have, I will not withhold from you. Whosoever
would be chaste and modest; Allah will keep him
chaste and modest and whosoever would seek self-sufficiency,
Allah will make him self-sufficient; and whosoever
would be patient, Allah will give him patience,
and no one is granted a gift better and more comprehensive
than patience.” (Al-Bukhâri and Muslim) |

Messenger, at a time when he was face to face
with the enemy, and was waiting for the sun to
decline, stood up and said, “ O people!
Do not long for an encounter with the enemy and
supplicate to Allah to grant you security. But
if you face the enemy, you should show patience
and steadfastness; and keep it in mind that Paradise
lies under the shade of the swords.” Then
he invoked Allah, saying, “O Allah, Revealer
of the Book, Disperser of the clouds, Defeater
of the Confederates, put our enemy to rout and
help us in over-powering them.” (Al-Bukhari
and Muslim) |

|
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger
said, “Be prompt in doing good deeds (before
you are overtaken) by turbulence which would be
like a part of the dark night. During (that stormy
period) a man would be a believer in the morning
and turn to disbelief in the evening, or he would
be a believer in the evening and turn disbeliever
in the morning, and would sell his Faith for worldly
goods.” (Muslim) |
|
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger
said, “Hasten to do good deeds before you
are overtaken by one of the seven afflictions.”
Then (giving a warning) he said, “Are you
waiting for such penury as will make you unmindful
of devotion; or such prosperity as will make you
corrupt, or such disease as will disable you,
or such senility as will make you mentally unstable,
or sudden death, or Ad-Dajjal who is the worst
apprehended of the Hour, and the Hour will be
most bitter.” (At-Tirmidhi ) |

said, “A strong believer is better and dearer
to Allah than a weak one in all good things. Adhere
to that which is most beneficial for you. Keep
beseeching Allah for help and do not refrain from
it. If you are afflicted in any way, do not say:
‘If I had taken this or that step, it would
have resulted into such and such,’ but say
only: ‘Allah so determined and did as He
willed.’ The word ‘if’ opens
the gates of satanic conduct.” (Muslim) |

So, follow a middle course (in worship); if you
can’t do this, do something near to it and
give glad tidings and seek help (of Allah) at
morn and at dusk and some part of night.”
(Al-Bukhari) |
|
Narrated Abu Hurairah: The Prophet said, “Do
not ask me unnecessarily about the details of
the things which I do not mention to you. Verily,
the people before you were doomed because they

from what I forbid you and do what I command you
to do best of your ability and capacity.”
(Al-Bukhari and Muslim) |

the rights of the way.” They asked, “What
are the rights of the way?” He said, “They
are the lowering of your gazes (on seeing what
is illegal to look at), refraining from harming
people (removal of obstruction), returning greetings,
enjoining good and forbidding evil.” (Al-Bukhari
and Muslim ) |

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: We were talking about
the Farewell Pilgrimage without knowing the meaning
of thereof when Allah’s Messenger was also
present. He stood up and recited the Praise and
Glorification of Allah. He then gave a detailed
account of Ad-Dajjal and said, “Every Prophet
sent by Allah has warned his people against his
mischief. Nuh warned his nation and so did all
the Prophets after him. If he (i.e., Ad-Dajjal)
appears among you, his condition will not remain
hidden from you. Ad-Dajjal is one-eyed. His right
eye is prominent like a swollen grape. Listen,
Allah has sanctified for you your blood, and your
possessions like the sanctity of this day of yours
(i.e., the Day of Sacrifice), in this city of
yours (i.e.,Makkah), in this month of yours (i.e.,
Dhul-Hijjah). Listen, have I conveyed Allah’s
Message to you?” The people replied in affirmative.
There upon he said, “O Allah, bear witness.”
And he repeated it thrice. He concluded: “Woe
upon you, take heed and do not turn apostate after
me, striking at the necks of one another.”

tree (i.e., the tree from which Miswak stick are
taken).” (Muslim) |

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar : Allah’s Messenger
said, “ A Muslim is a brother of another
Muslim. So he should not oppress him nor should
he hand him over to (his satan or to his self
which is inclined to evil). Whoever fulfils the
needs of his brother, Allah will fulfil his needs;
whoever removes the troubles of his brother, Allah
will remove one of his troubles on the Day of
Resurrection; and whoever covers up the fault
of a Muslim, Allah will cover up his fault on
the Day of Resurrection.” (Al-Bukhari and
Muslim) |
|
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger
said, “A Muslim is brother to a Muslim.
He should neither deceive him nor accuse him of
lying, nor leave him without assistance. Everything
belonging to a Muslim is inviolable for a Muslim;
his honour, his blood and property. Piety is here
(and he pointed out to his chest thrice). Despising
one’s Muslim brother is enough evil for
a person.” (At-Tirmidhi) |

Judgement the defect (faults) of the one who covers

said, “A Muslim is a brother of Muslim,
he neither wrongs him nor does hand him over to

if one relieves a Muslim of his troubles, Allah
will relieve his troubles on the Day of Resurrection.”
(Al-Bukhari and Muslim) |
|
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger
said, “He who removes from a believer one
of his difficulties of this world, Allah will
remove one of his troubles on the Day of Judgement;
and he who finds relief for a hard-pressed person,
Allah will make things easy for him on the Day
of Judgement; he who covers up (the faults) of
a Muslim, Allah will cover up (his faults) in
this world and in the Hereafter. Allah supports
His slave as long as the slave is supportive of
his brother; and he who treads the path in search
of knowledge, Allah makes that path easy, leading
to Paradise for him; The people who assemble in
a house from the houses of Allah, reciting the
Book of Allah, learning it and teaching, there
descends upon them the tranquillity, and mercy
covers them, the angels flock around them, and
Allah mentions them in the presence of those near
Him; and he who lags behind in doing good deeds,
his high descent will not make him go ahead.”
(Muslim) |
|
Narrated Abu Hurairah: Allah’s Messenger
said, “On every joint of man, there is charity.
Everyday when the sun rises, doing justice between
two men is charity; and assisting a man to ride
an animal or to load his luggage on it is charity;
and a good word is charity; every step which one
takes towards (the mosque for) As- Salat (the
prayer) is charity, and removing harmful things
from the way is charity.” (Al-Bukhari and
Muslim) |
|

every person who is, modest and humble (before
Allah), a person who is accounted weak and is
looked down upon but if he swears (hoping for
Allah’s Bounty), Allah will certainly give
him what he desires. Now shall I not inform you
about the inmates of Hell? It is every violent,
impertinent and proud man.” (Al-Bukhari
and Muslim) |
|

it and in what way did he spend it, and about

to the sky; and should you beg pardon of Me, I

me with an earthful of sins and meet Me, not associating
anything with Me (in worship), I would come to
you with an earthful of forgiveness.” (At-Tirmidhi) |

|

than the lower hand (i.e., the one that receives
charity.)” (Muslim) |

A wise person is one who keeps a watch over
his bodily desires and passions, and checks himself
from that which is harmful and strives for that
which will benefit him after death; and a foolish
person is one who subordinates himself to his
cravings and desires and expects from Allah the
fulfillment of his futile desires. (Tirmidhi) |
|
A person asked Allah’s Messenger (saas):
“What is faith?” He said: “When
a good deed becomes a source of pleasure for you
and an evil deed becomes a source of disgust for
you, then you are a believer.” He again

is a sin?” Whereupon he said: “When
something pricks your conscience, give it up.”
(Tirmidhi) |
|
Whoever has three things discovers the sweetness
of faith: that Allah and His Messenger are more
beloved to him than all else, that he loves another

Abdullah bin Umar narrated that Allah's Messenger
(saas) said, "Do not wish to be like anybody

wisdom ?i.e., the Qur'an and Sunnah? and he gives
his verdicts according to it, and teaches it to
others." (Bukhari) |

?and refrains from doing evil deeds? and does
noble deeds to benefit him after death; and the

to his temptations and desires and seeks from
Allah the fulfillment of his vain desires. (Tirmidhi) |

When one of you contemplates entering upon an
enterprise, let him supplicate: O Allah, I consult
You through Your Knowledge, and I seek strength
through Your Power, and ask of Your Great Bounty;
for You are capable whereas I am not and, You
know and I do not, and You are the Knower of hidden
things. O Allah, if You know that this matter
is good for me in respect of my Religion, my livelihood
and the consequences of my affairs, then ordain
it for me, make it easy for me, and bless it for
me. But if You know this matter to be bad for
my Religion, my livelihood or the consequences
of my affairs, then turn it away from me, and
turn me away from it, and grant me power to do
good whatever it may be, and cause me to be contented
with it. (Bukhari and Muslim) |

people were to unite to do you some benefit they
could benefit you only with what Allah had recorded
for you, and that if they were to unite to do
you some injury they could injure you only with
what Allah had recorded for you. The pens are
withdrawn and the pages are dry. (Tirmidhi) |
|
Strange are the ways of a believer for there
is good in every affair of his and 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], thus there is a good for him
in it, and if he gets into trouble and shown resignation
(and endures it patiently), there is a good for
him in it. (Muslim) |
