Hadith 20:It was narrated that Sahl ibn Sa'd as-Sa'idi (r.a) said: A man said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed which, if I do it, Allah will love me and people will love me. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Show little interest in worldly gain and Allah will love you; show little interest in what people have and people will love you.»

Hadith 19:It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Whoever removes a worldly hardship [kurbah] from a believer, Allah will remove one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection from him. Whoever grants respite to (a debtor) who is in difficulty, Allah will grant him relief in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals (the fault of) a Muslim in this world, Allah will conceal him (his faults) in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah will help a person so long as he is helping his brother. Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make a path to Paradise easy for him. No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but tranquillity will descend upon them, mercy will overshadow them, the angels will surround them and Allah will mention them to those who are with Him. Whoever is slowed down by his deeds, his lineage will not help him to getahead.»

Hadith 17:It was narrated that Abu'l-Hawra as-Sa'di said: I said to al-Hasan ibn Ali (r.a): What do you remember of the sayings of the Messenger (s.a.w)? He said: I remember the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: «Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.»

Hadith 16:It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (r.a) said that The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «For every joint of a person, charity must be given every day on which the sun rises. Reconciling between two people is a charity; helping a man onto his mount or lifting him up onto it, or lifting his luggage up onto it is a charity.» He said: «A good word is a charity; every step that you take to attend the prayer is a charity; removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.» According to a report narrated by Muslim: «Sufficient instead of all of that is two rakahs that you pray in the forenoon.»

Hadith 15:It was narrated that Abu Malik al-Ash'ari (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Purification is half of faith. 'Alhamdu Lillah' fills the balance, and 'SubhanAllah wa'l-hamdu Lillah' fills the space between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light (nur), charity is proof, patience is radiance (diya), and the Quran is evidence for you or against you. All people wake up in the morning (to strive) and sell themselves, either ransoming themselves or dooming themselves.»

Hadith 14:It was narrated from Abu Dharr (r.a) that some of the Companions of the Prophet (s.a.w) said to him: O Messenger of Allah, the wealthy are taking all the rewards. They pray as we pray, they fast as we fast, and they give charity from their surplus wealth. He said: «Hasn't Allah granted you means of giving charity? In every tasbeehah (saying Sub hanAllah) there is charity; in every takbeerah (saying Allahu akbar) there is charity; in every tahmeedah (saying Alhamdu Lillah) there is charity; in every tahleelah (saying Laa ilaaha illa Allah) there is charity; in enjoining what is right there is charity; in forbidding what is wrong there is charity; in the intimacy of one of you [with his wife] there is charity.» They said: O Messenger of Allah, if one of us fulfils his desire, will there be reward for him in that? He said: «Do you not think that if he fulfils it in an unlawful manner, he will incur a burden of sin? Likewise, if he fulfils it in a permissible manner,there will be reward for him.»

Hadith 13:It was narrated that Adiy ibn Hatim (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «There is no one among you but Allah will speak to him, without an interpreter. He will look to his right and see nothing but the deeds that he sent on ahead; he will look to his left and see nothing but the deeds that he sent on ahead. He will look in front of him and will see nothing but the Fire facing him. So protect yourselves from the Fire, even by meansof half a date.» Another report adds: «even by means of a good word.»

Hadith 12:It was narrated that Muawiyah (r.a.w) said: I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) say: «When Allah wills good for a person, He grants him understanding of religion. I am merely a distributor, and it is Allah Who gives. This ummah will continue to adhere to the command of Allah, and those who oppose them will not harm them, until the decree of Allah comes to pass.»

Hadith 11:It was narrated from Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As (r.a) that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: «He has succeeded who becomes Muslim and is given just enough provision, and Allah makes him content with what He has given him.»

Hadith 10:It was narrated that Anas ibn Malik (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Paradise is surrounded with hardships, and Hell is surrounded with desires.»

Hadith 9:It was narrated that Abdullah ibn Umar (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) took hold of my shoulder and said: «Be in this world as if you are a stranger or a wayfarer.» Ibn Umar (r.a) used to say: When evening comes, do not wait for morning, and when morning comes, do not wait for evening. Take from your good health for your sickness, and from your life for your death.

Hadith 8:It was narrated from Abu Saeed al-Khudri (r.a) that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: «This world is sweet and green, and Allah will make you successive generations therein, and He will see what you do. Beware of this world and beware of women, for the first fitnah (trial) among the Children of Israel had to do with women.»

Hadith 7:It was narrated that Abdullah inn Mas'ud (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to us: «O young men, whoever among you is able to, let him get married, for it is more effective in lowering the gaze and guarding one's chastity. And whoever cannot afford it should fast, for it will be like [temporary] castration for him.»

Hadith 6:It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (r.a) that The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) used to say: «The five daily prayers, one Jumuah to the next, and one Ramadan to the next, are expiation for whatever comes in between them, if one avoids major sins.»

Hadith 5:It was narrated from Jabir (r.a) that a man asked the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) : Do you think, if I pray the obligatory prayers, fast Ramadan, regard as permissible what is permitted and regard as prohibited what is prohibited, and I do not do anything more than that, will I be admitted to Paradise? He said: «Yes.» He said: By Allah, I shall not do anything more than that.

Hadith 4:It was narrated that Anas ibn Malik (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Therewill come a time when the one who is patient and steadfast in adhering to his religion will be like the one who is holding onto a smouldering ember.»And he (s.a.w) said: «Ahead of you are days that will require patience and steadfastness, during which the one who is as steadfast as you are will have a reward like that of fifty of you.» They said: O Prophet of Allah, or [like fifty] of them? He said: «No; [like fifty] of you.»

Hadith 3:It was narrated that Jabir (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «The likeness of me and you is that of a man who lit a fire and grasshoppers and moths started falling into it, and he tries to push them away. I am seizing your waistbands and trying to pull you away from the Fire but you are trying to get away from me.»

Hadith 2:It was narrated that Anas ibn Malik (r.a) said: Three men (raht) came to the apartments of the wives of the Prophet (pbuh) to ask about the worship of the Prophet (pbuh) . When they were told about it, it was as if they thought it was little. Hence they said: How can we compare ourselves to the Prophet (pbuh), for he has been forgiven his past and future sins? One of them said: As for me, I shall pray qiyam al-layl forever. Another one said: I shall fast every day of my life and never not fast. The third one said: I shall keep away from women and never get married. The Messenger of Allah (pbuh) came to them and said: “Are you the ones who said such and such? Indeed, by Allah, I am the one among you who fears Allah the most and is most mindful of Him, but I fast and I do not fast; I pray and I sleep; and I marry women. Whoever turns away from my Sunnah is not of me.”

Hadith 1:It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (ra) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'Whoever shows enmity to a close friend of Mine, I shall declare war on him. My slave does not draw close to Me by doing anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties I have enjoined upon him, and My slave continues to draw close to Me by doing supererogatory deeds until I love him. When I love him, I will be his hearing with which he hears, his sight with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes and his foot with which he walks. If he were to ask Me for something, I would surely give it to him, and if he were to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything that I do as much as I hesitate about taking the soul of the believer; he hates death and I hate to hurt him.'
