The Importance of Remaining Punctual in One’s Daily Ibaadaat

Hazrat ‘Aaishah (radhiyallahu ‘anha) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The most beloved of actions to Allah Ta‘ala is the action which is carried out with the most punctuality, even though the action may be little.”

Hazrat Jubair bin Mut’im (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who severs family ties will not enter Jannah (i.e. if Allah Ta‘ala does not forgive him, then he will first have to undergo punishment in Jahannum before being admitted into Jannah).”
عن عبد الله بن عمرو بن العاص قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: إن الله لا يقبض العلم انتزاعا ينتزعه من العباد ولكن يقبض العلم بقبض العلماء حتى إذا لم يبق عالما اتخذ الناس رءوسا جهالا فسئلوا فأفتوا بغير علم فضلوا وأضلوا (صحيح البخاري، الرقم: 100)
Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Amr bin ‘Aas (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports, “I heard Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) say, ‘Indeed, Allah Ta‘ala will not take away the knowledge of deen (from the world) by raising it from (the hearts of) the servants. Rather, He will take it away through the death of the (rightly-guided) ‘Ulama. Eventually, when Allah has left no (rightly-guided) ‘Aalim (alive in certain places, even though there will be rightly-guided ‘Ulama in other places), then the people will take ignorant people as their leaders (in deen). When questions (pertaining to deen) will be posed to them, they will answer without knowledge. Hence, they will be astray, and they will lead others astray as well.”
عن سعد بن أبي وقاص قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: أربع من السعادة المرأة الصالحة والمسكن الواسع والجار الصالح والمركب الهنيء وأربع من الشقاوة الجار السوء والمرأة السوء والمسكن الضيق والمركب السوء (صحيح ابن حبان، الرقم: 4032)

There are four things that are a sign of ill-fortune; (1) an evil neighbor, (2) a bad wife, (3) a home that is small and constricted, and (4) a conveyance that is not good.”

Who will receive these apartments?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “They are for those who are polite and gentle in their speech, feed people, and spend the night standing (in nafl salaah) for the pleasure of Allah Ta‘ala while people are asleep.”

The second friend says, ‘I will remain with you, but when you reach the door of the king (i.e. when you pass away and meet Allah Ta'ala), then I will leave you (at that point).’ This friend refers to his servants and family. The third friend says, ‘I will remain with you, in whichever place you enter and from whichever place you leave (i.e. I will remain with you forever, no matter where you are).’ This friend refers to his actions.”
Acquiring the Knowledge of Deen from the Rightly-Guided Ulama

Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) mentioned, “People will remain upon righteousness, and will continue to be steadfast (on the straight path), so long as their knowledge of deen is acquired from the Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) and from their learned, pious Ulama (i.e. those who are rightly guided and possess sound understanding of deen). When their knowledge of deen is acquired from people who are not knowledgeable, then they will be destroyed.”

The Happiness of Allah Ta‘ala at the Repentance of the Servant
Written by user2عن الحارث بن سويد حدثنا عبد الله بن مسعود حديثين: أحدهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم والآخر عن نفسه قال: إن المؤمن يرى ذنوبه كأنه قاعد تحت جبل يخاف أن يقع عليه وإن الفاجر يرى ذنوبه كذباب مر على أنفه فقال به هكذا قال أبو شهاب: بيده فوق أنفه ثم قال: لله أفرح بتوبة عبده من رجل نزل منزلا وبه مهلكة ومعه راحلته عليها طعامه وشرابه فوضع رأسه فنام نومة فاستيقظ وقد ذهبت راحلته حتى إذا اشتد عليه الحر والعطش أو ما شاء الله قال: أرجع إلى مكاني فرجع فنام نومة ثم رفع رأسه فإذا راحلته عنده (صحيح البخاري، الرقم: 6308)
Hazrat Haarith bin Suwaid (rahimahullah) reports that once, Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) narrated two Ahaadith. One Hadith was the Hadith of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), while the other was his own statement. Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) said, “Indeed a believer views his sins as though he is seated beneath a mountain and he fears that it can fall on him at any moment, and indeed a sinful person (not concerned about his deen) views his sins as though it is a fly which passes by his nose (i.e. he considers it to be trivial and insignificant). He thus casually swats at it with his hand.” While narrating this Hadith, one of the narrators, Abu Shihaab (rahimahullah), explained the gesture of Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) by him waving his hand above his nose.
