Using the Miswaak before Reciting the Qur’aan Majeed
Written by user2عن علي بن أبي طالب رضي الله عنه قال إن أفواهكم طرق للقرآن فطيبوها بالسواك (سنن ابن ماجة رقم 291)
It is reported that Hazrat ‘Ali (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) said, “Indeed your mouths are pathways for the Qur’aan Majeed (i.e. your mouths are used to recite the Qur’aan Majeed). Hence, cleanse your mouths through making miswaak.”
عن العرس ابن عميرة الكندي عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: إذا عملت الخطيئة في الأرض كان من شهدها فكرهها وقال مرة: أنكرها كان كمن غاب عنها ومن غاب عنها فرضيها كان كمن شهدها (سنن أبي داود رقم 4345)
Hazrat ‘Urs bin ‘Umairah Al-Kindi (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “When sin is being committed in a place, then the one who is present and is not pleased with it (in another narration, it is mentioned, “he regards it to be wrong”), he will be like the one who was not present and did not witness it (i.e. he will not be sinful as being present was not of his choice), and the one who was not present where sin was being committed, yet he was pleased with the sin (and desired to be present), he will be like the one who was present where the sin was committed (i.e. he will also be sinful).”
عن جابر يقول: سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: المسلم من سلم المسلمون من لسانه ويده (صحيح مسلم رقم 41)
Hazrat Jaabir (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “A (complete and perfect) Muslim is one who is such that other Muslims are safe from the harm of his tongue and hand (i.e. people are not inconvenienced through him in any way).”
Note: The word ‘Muslim’ is derived from the word ‘Islam’ which connotes submission and obedience to Allah Ta‘ala. One of the root words of the word Muslim is ‘salm’ which means ‘showing peace’. Hence, the meaning of this Hadith is that a complete and perfect Muslim is one fulfills the command of Allah Ta‘ala at all times and is a means of peace and mercy to the creation. He is concerned at all times of not causing even the least amount of inconvenience to the entire creation.
Since the harm that comes to people is generally caused through the tongue and hand, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) made special mention of these two limbs.
عن أبي هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: أحب البلاد إلى الله مساجدها وأبغض البلاد إلى الله أسواقها (صحيح مسلم رقم 671)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The most beloved of places to Allah are the Masaajid, and the most detested of places to Allah are the market places.”
عن عمر بن الخطاب رضى الله عنه قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم من توضأ فأحسن الوضوء ثم قال أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله اللهم اجعلني من التوابين واجعلني من المتطهّرين فتحت له ثمانية أبواب من الجنة يدخل من أيها شاء (سنن الترمذى رقم 55)
Hazrat Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever performs a perfect wudhu and then recites the following dua, the eight doors of Jannat are opened for him and he may enter from whichever door he wishes:
أشهد أن لا إله إلا الله وحده لا شريك له وأشهد أن محمدا عبده ورسوله اللهم اجعلني من التوابين واجعلني من المتطهّرين
I testify that there is none worthy of worship but Allah who is alone and has no partner, and I testify that Muhammed (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) is His slave and messenger. O Allah! Make me be among those who constantly repent and among those who are extremely pure.”
عن أبي هريرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: كل أمتي يدخلون الجنة إلا من أبى قالوا: يا رسول الله ومن يأبى قال: من أطاعني دخل الجنة ومن عصاني فقد أبى (صحيح البخاري رقم 7280)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Every person in my ummah will enter Jannah, except those who refuse.” The Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) asked, “O Rasul of Allah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam)! Who are those who refuse?” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) replied, “Those who obey me (believe in me and follow my way) will enter Jannah (forever), and those who disobey me (they do not believe in me) have refused (hence they will remain in Jahannum forever).”

عن إبراهيم بن مهدي السلمي عن أبيه عن جده وكانت له صحبة من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول : إن العبد إذا سبقت له من الله منزلة لم يبلغها بعمله ابتلاه الله في جسده أو في ماله أو في ولده قال أبو داود : زاد ابن نفيل : ثم صبره على ذلك ثم اتفقا حتى يبلغه المنزلة التي سبقت له من الله تعالى (سنن أبي داود رقم 3090)
Hazrat Ebrahim bin Mahdi As-Sulami (rahimahullah) narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, who was a Sahaabi of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “When Allah Ta‘ala wishes to bless a servant with a high rank that has been decreed for him (in Jannah), but the servant is unable to reach this high rank through his deeds and efforts, then Allah Ta‘ala brings about tests in his life and body, wealth, or his children. Allah Ta‘ala then blesses him with the taufeeq of sabr and enables him to exercise patience over this test, until Allah Ta‘ala causes him to reach the rank which Allah Ta‘ala had decreed for him.”
The Seven Classes of People who will be in the Shade of Allah’s Throne on the Day of Qiyaamah
Written by user2عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: سبعة يظلهم الله تعالى في ظله يوم لا ظل إلا ظله إمام عدل وشاب نشأ في عبادة الله ورجل قلبه معلق في المساجد ورجلان تحابا في الله اجتمعا عليه وتفرقا عليه ورجل دعته امرأة ذات منصب وجمال فقال إني أخاف الله ورجل تصدق بصدقة فأخفاها حتى لا تعلم شماله ما تنفق يمينه ورجل ذكر الله خاليا ففاضت عيناه (صحيح البخاري رقم 1423)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) report that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There are seven categories of people whom Allah Ta‘ala will enter into His special shade (i.e. the shade of His throne) on the day when there will be no shade besides His shade; the just leader, the youth who grew up in the worship and obedience of Allah Ta‘ala, the man whose heart would remain attached to the musjid, the two men who used to love each other, meet each other and separate from one another for the sake of (gaining) Allah’s love, the man whom a woman of high status and exceptional beauty invited to commit zina, yet he refrained and said, ‘I fear Allah’, the man who gave some sadaqah and concealed it, to the extent that his left hand did not know what his right hand had spent, and the man who remembered Allah Ta‘ala in seclusion and shed tears (out of the love and fear of Allah Ta‘ala).”
عن سهل بن معاذ عن أبيه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : من كظم غيظا وهو قادر على أن ينفذه دعاه الله عز وجل على رءوس الخلائق يوم القيامة حتى يخيره الله من الحور العين ما شاء (سنن أبي داود رقم 4777)

Hazrat ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar (radhiyallahu ‘anhuma) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There are three people whom Allah Ta‘ala will not look at (with the sight of mercy) on the Day of Qiyaamah; the one who would disobey his parents, the one who would remain addicted to wine (or intoxicants), and the one who gives charity to the poor and thereafter reminds them of his favor upon them.”

Exercising Moderation and Abstaining from Haraam in Earning a Livelihood
Written by user2عن ابن مسعود أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : ليس من عمل يقرب إلى الجنة إلا قد أمرتكم به ولا عمل يقرب إلى النار إلا قد نهيتكم عنه لا يستبطئن أحد منكم رزقه إن جبريل عليه السلام ألقى في روعي أن أحدا منكم لن يخرج من الدنيا حتى يستكمل رزقه فاتقوا الله أيها الناس وأجملوا في الطلب فإن استبطأ أحد منكم رزقه فلا يطلبه بمعصية الله فإن الله لا ينال فضله بمعصية (المستدرك للحاكم رقم 2136)
Hazrat Abdullah bin Mas’ood (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There is no action that will draw you close to Jannah except that I have commanded you to carry it out, and there is no action that will draw you close to Jahannum except that I have prohibited you from perpetrating it. None of you should ever regard his sustenance to be delayed (as everything is destined to arrive at its time). Indeed Hazrat Jibreel (‘alaihis salaam) revealed wahi in my heart (from the side of Allah Ta‘ala) that none of you will leave the world until he receives his sustenance in full. Hence, fear Allah Ta‘ala, o people, and make your effort brief in seeking your livelihood (as everything that you will receive is predestined). If any of you regards his sustenance to be delayed then he should not seek it through an avenue whereby he will disobey Allah Ta‘ala, for indeed the grace (barakah in wealth) of Allah Ta‘ala cannot be acquired through engaging in sins.”

Hazrat ‘Ali bin Abi Taalib (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The person whose mashwarah (advice) is sought is entrusted (with the trust of advising correctly). Hence, when his advice is sought by anyone, he should advise that person with that which he regards best for himself (i.e. he should advise the person according to what he regards best for the person, just as he would choose the best for himself).”
