Hadeeth (186)
عن أبي أمامة رضي الله عنه أن رجلا قال يا رسول الله ما الإيمان قال إذا سرتك حسنتك وساءتك سيئتك فأنت مؤمن (مجمع الزوائد #286)
Hazrat Abu Umaamah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that a Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “What is (a sign of true) Imaan?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “When your good deeds please you (on account of you fulfilling the command of Allah Ta‘ala), and your evil deeds cause you sadness (on account of you breaking the command of Allah Ta‘ala), then (it is a sign that) you are a (true) believer.”
عن عائشة قالت كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إذا صلى قام حتى تفطر رجلاه قالت عائشة يا رسول الله أتصنع هذا وقد غفر لك ما تقدم من ذنبك وما تأخر فقال يا عائشة أفلا أكون عبدا شكورا (صحيح مسلم #2820)
Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) mentions that when Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would perform salaah, he would stand for such a lengthy period that his mubaarak feet would (swell and) become cracked. Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), “O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! Why do you exert yourself in this manner, whereas your past and future inexactitudes have all been forgiven?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “O ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha)! Should I not be a grateful servant (by expressing gratitude for His countless favors through exerting myself in His remembrance and worship)?”
The Reality of the Dunya for the Believer and the Disbeliever
Written by user2عن أبي هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم الدنيا سجن المؤمن وجنة الكافر (صحيح مسلم #2956)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The Dunya is a prison for the believer and a Jannah for the disbeliever.”
عن أبي هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال لو يعلم الناس ما في النداء والصف الأول ثم لم يجدوا إلا أن يستهموا عليه لاستهموا ولو يعلمون ما في التهجير لاستبقوا إليه ولو يعلمون ما في العتمة والصبح لأتوهما ولو حبوا (صحيح مسلم #437)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “If people knew the reward for calling out the azaan and performing Salaah in the first saff, and there was no other way for them to attain it besides drawing lots, then they would do so. If people knew the reward for coming early for Salaah, they would surely hasten for Salaah, and if they knew the reward for performing the ‘Esha Salaah and Fajr Salaah with jamaat in the musjid, they would ensure that they come for these two Salaahs, even if they had to come crawling.”
عن أبي هريرة قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فلا يؤذ جاره ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليكرم ضيفه ومن كان يؤمن بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خيرا أو ليصمت (صحيح البخاري #6018)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever believes in Allah and the last day (the Day of Qiyaamah), then he should not cause his neighbor any harm. Whoever believes in Allah and the last day (the Day of Qiyaamah), then he should honor his guest. Whoever believes in Allah and the last day (the Day of Qiyaamah), then he should speak good or remain silent.”
عن أنس بن مالك قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إن الصدقة لتطفئ غضب الرب وتدفع عن ميتة السوء (سنن الترمذي #664)
Hazrat Anas bin Maalik (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Indeed charity extinguishes the anger of Allah Ta‘ala and repels an evil death.”
عن عائشة قالت قلت يا رسول الله إن لي جارين فإلى أيهما أهدي قال إلى أقربهما منك بابا (صحيح البخاري #6020)
Hazrat ‘Aa’ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) mentions, “I asked Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), ‘I have two neighbors. To which of them should I send a gift (which of them is more deserving of the gift I wish to give)?’ Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, ‘(Gift it) to the neighbor whose door is closer to you.’”
عن أبي الدرداء قال سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول ما من ثلاثة في قرية ولا بدو لا تقام فيهم الصلاة إلا قد استحوذ عليهم الشيطان فعليك بالجماعة فإنما يأكل الذئب القاصية قال زائدة قال السائب يعني بالجماعة الصلاة في الجماعة (سنن أبي داود #547)
Hazrat Abu Dardaa’ (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates, “I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) mentioning, ‘Three people who live together in a village or a desert, and do not perform salaah with jamaat, (will be such that) certainly Shaitaan will gain control over them. Thus hold fast to performing salaah with jamaat, as the wolf only consumes the animal which has become distant (from the flock).’”
The Position of the one who is Two Faced on the Day of Qiyaamah
Written by user2عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم تجد من شر الناس يوم القيامة عند الله ذا الوجهين الذي يأتي هؤلاء بوجه وهؤلاء بوجه (صحيح البخاري #6058، صحيح مسلم #2526)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “You will find that among the most evil of people in the court of Allah Ta‘ala, on the Day of Qiyaamah, is the one who is two faced; he comes to these people with one face, and to those people with another face (i.e. he pretends to side with each group and expresses his support for them with wrong motives and intentions).”
عن ابن عمر رضي الله عنهما قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : الاقتصاد في النفقة نصف المعيشة والتودد إلى الناس نصف العقل وحسن السؤال نصف العلم (مجمع الزوائد #727، كشف الخفاء #476)
Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Moderation in expenditure is half of livelihood (as it allows a person to live in ease. Being a spendthrift or miserly causes one to face difficulties in his livelihood), showing love and affection to people is half of intelligence, and asking good questions (i.e. relevant and beneficial questions) is half of knowledge (as it is a means of acquiring true understanding in Deen).”

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه أن رجلا شكا إلى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قسوة قلبه فقال : امسح رأس اليتيم وأطعم المسكين (مجمع الزوائد #13508 وقال الهيثمي : رواه أحمد ورجاله رجال الصحيح)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that a Sahaabi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) once complained to Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) of his heart being hard. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said to him, “Pass your hand over the head of an orphan and feed the poor.”
عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من تصدق بعدل تمرة من كسب طيب ولا يقبل الله إلا الطيب وإن الله يتقبلها بيمينه ثم يربيها لصاحبه كما يربي أحدكم فلوه حتى تكون مثل الجبل (صحيح بخاري #1410)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasululah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever gives sadaqah (charity) equal to a date from pure wealth – and Allah only accepts that which is pure – then Allah accepts it with His right hand, and thereafter protects it (and allows it to grow) for the one who gave it, just as one of you nurtures and takes care of his young foal (until it grows up into a fully developed horse), until his charity becomes like a mountain.”
Note: Allah Ta‘ala is unique in His being and His attributes and there is nothing that can be compared to Him. Allah Ta‘ala does not have a body and limbs as the creation has. However, in this Hadith, ‘right hand of Allah’ is mentioned. Generally, when something is appreciated and valued, it is received with the right hand. Hence, the ‘right hand of Allah Ta‘ala’ mentioned in this Hadith is in actual fact an expression to show the appreciation and value with which Allah Ta‘ala accepts this charity.
عن أنس رضي الله عنه قال ما خطبنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلا قال لا إيمان لمن لا أمانة له ولا دين لمن لا عهد له (مجمع الزوائد #341)
Hazrat Anas (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) said,“Whenever Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) delivered a khutbah to us, he said, ‘There is no Imaan for the one who does not possess the quality of trustworthiness (and honesty), and there is no Deen for the one who does not fulfill his pledges (and promises).’”
عن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فضل الصلاة التي يستاك لها على الصلاة التي لا يستاك لها سبعين ضعفا (مستدرك حاكم #515 قال الذهبي في التلخيص : على شرط مسلم)
Hazrat ‘Aa'ishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) narrates that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The salaah performed after making miswaak is seventy times greater than the salaah performed without making miswaak.”
