Collection of Ahadeeth 23

Assalamu Alaikkum,

Prevent yourselves from setting with Sinners:

1.    Abdullah Ibne-Mas'ud Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: The decline of Ban! Isra'il started when a (pious) man among them met any other man (involved in sin), the former said to latter: O you! Fear Allah, and refrain from what you are committing, since it is not allowed for you. Then when he met him the next day this would not stop him (pious man) from eating, drinking and sitting with the sinner. When this happened frequently, (and also enjoining good and forbidding from evil was given up), Allah made the hearts of the obedient similar to the hearts of the disobedient. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam then recited the verse:

Those among the children of Israel who disbelieved were cursed by the tongue of Dawud and 'Isa son of Maryam. That was because they disobeyed (Allah and the Messengers) and were ever transgressing beyond bounds. They used not to forbid one another from Al-Munkar (wrong, evil-doing, sins, polytheism, disbelief) which they committed. Bad indeed was what they used to do. You see many of them taking the disbelievers as their Auliya' (protectors and helpers). Evil indeed is that which their own selves have sent forward before them; for that (reason) Allah's Wrath fell upon them, and in torment they will abide. And had they believed in Allah and in the prophet (Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam ) and in what has been revealed to him, never would they taken them (the disbelievers) as Auliya' (protectors and helpers); but many of them are the FUsiqun (rebellious, disobedient) to Allah. (Al-Maida 5:78-81)

Thereafter, he commanded: Certainly I swear by Allah, you must indeed enjoin unto good and you must indeed forbid from evil, and you must indeed catch hold of the hand of the oppressor and you must indeed persuade him to act justly, and you must indeed withhold him to the truth. (Abu Dawud 4336)

Stop the Oppressor:

2.    Abu Bakr Radiyallahu 'anhu said: O people! Verily you recite this verse:

O you who believe! You guard your own souls. He who has gone astray cannot harm you, if you are rightly guided.

And I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: Indeed when people see an oppressor but do not stop him, then it is likely that Allah will overtake them with an all encompassing Punishment. (Tirmidhi 2168)

Note: Abu Bakr Radiyallahu 'anhu meant that if anyone assumes from the above verse that "when a man is on the right path, then it is not necessary for him to enjoin unto good and forbid from evil; because he will not be questioned about others", then this is a wrong interpretation of this verse. .As far as possible, one should forbid evil and this is the responsibility of every individual of the Ummah. The right meaning of the verse is: "O you who believe! Care for your own reformation; you follow your Deen in such a way that you are reforming yourself and also endeavoring to reform others. If someone, despite your efforts to reform him, goes astray, then there is no harm for you". (Bayan-ul-Qur'an)

Hearts Get Blackened:

3.    Hudhaifah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: Hearts will be exposed to temptations as a mat is woven stick-by-stick. Any heart that accepts these temptations gets a black spot; and any heart that rejects these, gets a white spot. As a result, hearts will become of two kinds; one white like marble. So no temptation could harm it as long as the heavens and the earth stand. And the other heart is black and dusty like an overturned bowl (the heart gets blackened by excessive sins and, as an overturned bowl cannot retain anything in it, similarly there will be no hatred for sins, and the light of lman will not remain in this heart). Neither will it recognize good as good nor evil as evil, but will pursue its desires. (Muslim 369)

Enjoin one another to do good and forbid from evil:

4.    Abu Umayyah Sha'bani Rahimahullahu says that he asked Abu Tha'labah Al Khushani Radiyallahu 'anhu: O Abu Tha'labah! What do you say about this verse (guard yourselves)? He replied: I swear by Allah! You have indeed asked a man who knows about it very well. I asked Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam about this verse. So he said: But enjoin one another to do good and forbid from evil, until you see miserliness being obeyed; passions being followed; worldly matters being preferred; every person assuming his own opinion to be the only right one; then care for yourself, and leave what people in general are doing. For, surely, thereafter shall come days which will require endurance when holding to Deen will be like grasping a burning coal. The one amongst them, who acts rightly (during that period), will get the reward equal to that of fifty persons. Abu Tha'labah asked: O Rasulallah! The reward of fifty of them! He replied: The reward of fifty of you. (Abu Dawud 4341)

Note: This certainly does not mean that those in the later part of the Ummah can excel the Sahabah, because the Sahabah are undoubtedly superior to the whole Ummah. From this hadith, it is evident that enjoining good and forbidding from evil is essential. However, if such a time comes when the ability to accept the truth is totally lost, then it is ordained to remain in seclusion. However, by the grace of Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala that time has not come as yet, and the Ummah has ample ability to accept the truth.

Avoid sitting on the ways:

5.    Abu Sa'Id Al Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Avoid sitting on the ways. The Sahabah said: O Rasulallah! It is difficult for us to avoid this, as we sit there and discuss matters. He said: If you have no other alternative but to sit, then fulfill the rights of the way. Sahabah asked: What are the rights of the way, O Rasulallah! He replied: Lowering the eyes, removing harmful things, replying to Salam, and enjoining good and forbidding from evil. (Bukhari 6229)

Note: Sahabah Radiyallahu 'anhum meant that it was very difficult for them to avoid sitting on the ways, as they did not have any other place where they could sit together. Therefore, when some of them used to get together, they would sit on the ways to consult each other about their worldly and religious matters and enquired about one another's welfare. If someone was ill, they would advise treatment; should there be some unpleasantness between them, they would make a reconciliation. (Mazahir-e-Haq)

He is not one of Us:

6.    Ibne-' Abbas Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: He is not one of us who does not show kindness to our youngsters, does not show respect to our elders, and does not enjoin unto good and does not forbid from evil. (Tirmidhi 1921)

Atonement for Wrongdoing:

7.    Hudhaifah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: A man's wrongdoing regarding his family, his property, his children, and his neighbours may be atoned by offering Salat, Sadaqah and enjoining good and forbidding from evil. (Bukhari 7096)

Assalamu Alaikkum           

Cool Down the Anger of Allah

1.    Abu Umamah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Giving Sadaqah secretly cools the anger of the Rabb. (Tabarani 293/3)

Immediate Glad Tiding

2.    Abu Dhar Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that it was asked of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam: What do you say about that person who does a good deed and the people praise him for that? He replied: That is immediate glad tidings to the believer. (Muslim 6721)

Note:  Indeed, for the Hereafter, there are numerous glad tidings for him; however here he receives an immediate glad tiding provided his action was done solely for the Allah's pleasure and not for the praise of people.

Fear Even Doing Good Things

3.    'A'ishah Radiyallahu 'anha wife of Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam narrates: I asked Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam the meaning of the verse: And those who give what they have given while their hearts are fearful. (Mu'minun: 60) 'A'ishah Radiyallahu 'anha asked: If these are the people who drink wine and steal. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam replied: No, O daughter of Siddiq! But they are those who fast, offer Salat, give Sadaqah, and they fear that their good deeds may not to be accepted by Allah. These are the people who race towards good deeds and are foremost in them. (Tirmidhi 3175)

Contented with what has been Given

4.    Sa'd Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: Indeed Allah loves that slave of His who is pious, self sufficient and contented with what has been given to him and is inconspicuous. (Muslim 7432)

Every deed would become known to people

5.    Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: If a man was to do a deed within a rock which has no door or window, his deed would become known to people, whatever it is good or bad. (Baihaqi 259/5)

Note: When a deed of whatever nature will eventually become known, then why should those who engage in good deeds spoil them by insincerity? And what benefit is there for an evil-doer in concealing his bad deed? For this will ultimately be exposed. (Tarjuman-us-Sunnah)

2.    Abu Huraira (Radiyallahu Anhu):  reported Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: He who observed the fasts of Ramadan with faith and seeking reward (from Allah), all his previous sins would be forgiven, and he who observed prayer on Lailat-ul- Qadr with faith and seeking reward (from Allah), all his previous sins would be forgiven.  (Muslim Book #004, Hadith #1664)

Zakat-ul-Fitr

Lailat-ul Qadr  the twenty-seventh night (most probably)

4.       Zirr (b. Hubaish) reported: I heard from Ubayy b. Ka'b a statement made by 'Abdullah b. Mas'ud in which he said: He who gets up for prayer (every night) during the year will hit upon Lailat-ul-Qadr. Ubayy said: By Allah  there is no god but He, that (Lailat-ul-Qadr) is in Ramadhan (He swore without reservation: ) By Allah, I know the night; it is the night on which the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) commanded us to pray. It is that which precedes the morning of twenty-seventh and its indication is that the sun rises bright on that day without rays.  (Muslim Book #004, Hadith #1668)

Fasting Alternate Days(Nafil)

5.    Narrated Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As: Allah's Apostle told me, "The most beloved prayer to Allah is that of David and the most beloved fasts to Allah are those of David. He used to sleep for half of the night and then pray for one third of the night and again sleep for its sixth part and used to fast on alternate days."  (Bukhari Book #21, Hadith #231)

Today’s topic “Dignity of Muslim” :

Get Shade of Allah’s Mercy

1.  Jabir Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Anyone with these three qualities shall be under the shade of Allah's Mercy (on the Day of Resurrection) and will be admitted into Paradise: (1) Courtesy towards the weak (2) Compassion to parents (3) Kindness to slaves (subordinates). (Tirmidhi 2494)

No Scale No Court

2.  Abdullah Ibne-'Abbas Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: The Shaheed (martyr) will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and made to stand for reckoning. Then the giver of Sadaqah (charity) will be brought and made to stand for reckoning. Then those people will be brought who suffered many trials and hardships in the world; for them neither the Scale (of justice) will be established, nor will any Court (of accountability) be established for them. They will be bestowed with such immense rewards from Allah that people who had lived in ease and comfort would wish that their bodies had been cut with scissors for the reward, it would have bestowed upon them. (Tabarani, Majma-'uz-Zawaid 308/2)

Bear Affliction’s Patiently

3.  Mahmmud Ibne-Labid Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: When Allah loves a people, He afflicts them with trials. Anyone who forbears patiently, (the reward) for patience is written down for him. And anyone who becomes impatient, impatience is written down for him (he keeps on grumbling). (Musnad Ahmad, Majnia-'uz-Zawaid 11/3)

Trials and Hardships – increases status

4.  Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: (When) Allah grants a higher status to a person, but his deeds do not entitle him to such a status, then Allah continues to afflict him (with trials and hardships) that cause him inconveniences because of which he reaches the higher status. (Abu Ya'la a, Majma-'uz-Zawaid 13/3)

Sins Removed, even gets pricked by Thorn

5.  Abu Sa’id Al-Khudri and Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Whenever a Muslim faces fatigue, illness, worry, grief, hurt and sorrow, even gets pricked by a thorn, Allah in lieu of his sufferings removes his sins. (Bukhari 5641)

Merits of Rememberence

Get better Treat

1. Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi narrated that Allah Ta'ala says: I treat My slave according to his expectations from Me. I am with him when he remembers Me; and if he remembers Me in his heart, I remember him in My heart; and if he remembers Me in a gathering, I remember him in a better and nobler gathering (of angels). If he comes closer to Me by one span, I go closer to him an arm's length; if he comes towards Me an arm's length, I go towards him two-arm's  length; and if he comes to Me walking, I run to him. (Bukhari 2694)

Note: When a person strives to get closer to Allah through good deeds, then Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala turns towards His slave with much more attention, mercy and help.

Allah is with Us

2. Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi narrated that Allah the Almighty and Majestic says: I am with My slave when he remembers Me and till his lips move while remembering Me. (Ibne-Majah 2792)

Keep your tounge Fresh and Busy

Deed Most beloved to Allah

4. Mu'adh Ibne-Jabal Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that the last words I had with Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, at the time of bidding him farewell, was that; I said: O Rasulallah! Inform me about the deeds which are the most beloved to Allah 'Azza wa Jall. He replied: When you die, your tongue should be engaged in and refreshed with the Dhikr of Allah Ta'ala.

In another narration, it is stated that Mu'adh Radiyallahu 'anhu asked: O Rasulallah! Tell me the best deed which would bring me Closest to Allah. ('Amalul Yaumi wa! Lailah li tbn-us-Sunnl, Bazzar, Majma- 'uz-Zawaid 74/10)

Note: 'At the time of bidding him farewell' refers to the time when Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam sent Mu'adh Radiyallahu anhu as a Governor to Yemen.

Deed Raises rands to Highest

5. Abu Darda Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam asked: Would you like me to tell you the best of all your deeds and the purest of them to your Lord, which raises your ranks to the highest and is better for you than the spending of gold and silver (in the path of Allah), and better for you than that you encounter your enemy whose necks you cut and who cut your necks? The Sahabah replied: Yes, indeed! He said: It is the Dhikr of Allah, the Exalted. (Tiimidhi 2377)

Take a share from the inheritance of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam

Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu while passing by a market of Madinah stopped and asked: O People of the market; what has disabled you? They asked: What is the matter, O Abu Hurairah? He said: The inheritance of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam is being distributed and you are sitting here. Why do you not go there and take your share of it? They asked: Where is it being distributed? He replied: In the masjid. So they rushed towards the masjid. Abu Hurairah stood there till they returned. And he asked: What happened? They said: O Abu Hurairah! We went to the masjid, entered it, and saw nothing being distributed. Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu asked: Did you not see anyone in the masjid? They replied: Yes! verily We saw some people performing Salat, and some reciting the Qur'an and some were discussing what is permissible and what is fdrbidden. Abu Hurairah said: Woe unto you, that is the inheritance of Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. (Tabarani, Majma-'uz-Zawaid 231)

Understanding of Deen

'Abdullah Ibne-Mas'ud Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: When Allah intends to endow His slave a good, He gives him understanding of Deen and inspires him with proper guidance. (Bazzar, Tabarani, Majma-'uz-Zawaid 327)

Come Close to Allah

Abu Waqid Al-Laithi Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that once Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam was sitting in the masjid, and other people were also present. Three men came, two of them turned their attention towards Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, and one amongst them left. These two men stood near Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam; one of them found some room in the circle, so he sat there, the other one sat behind them and the third one (as mentioned above) turned his back and left. At the end of the gathering, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Should I not inform you about these three persons? One of them came closer to Allah by sitting in the circle and so Allah covered him with His Mercy. And the other one felt shy (to sit in the circle), so Allah regarded his shyness and did not deprive him of His Mercy and the last one turned away, so Allah turned away from him. (Bukhari 66)

Seek knowledge of Deen

Abu Harun Al-'Abdi Rahimahullah reports from Abu Sa’id Al- Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu, who narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: People from the East will come to you to seek knowledge of Deen, and when they come to you, treat them well. Abu Harun 'Abdi says: Whenever Abu Sa’id would see us, he would say: Welcome to those about whom Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam advised us. (Tirmidhi 2651)

 Obligatory Prayer

Guard the Farad Namaz

1.       Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: He who guards the obligatory Salat will not be written amongst the neglectful (lbne Khuzaimah 180)

Argumentor in your favor

2.       'Abdullah Ibne-'Amr Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that one day, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam mentioned Salat and said: For him who remains mindful of his Salat, it will be a light and an argument in his favour and a means of his salvation on the Day of Judgement; and for him who is not mindful of his Salat, there shall be neither a light, nor an argument in his favour, nor a means for his salvation. And on the Day of Judgement, he will be with Fir'aun, Haman and Ubayy Ibne-Khalaf.(Musnad Ahmad, Tabarani, Majma'uz- Zawaid 21/2)

Note: Fir'aun was the king of Egypt at the time of Moosa 'Alaihis salam, Haman was his minister, and Ubayy Ibne-Khalaf was an ardent idolater and adversary of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam.

TEACH NAMAZ  (most of our islamic brohter dint know “faraid” of namaz)

3.       Abu Malik Al Ashja'i narrates from his father Radiyallahu 'anhuma, who said that whenever a man accepted Islam during the time of Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, the Sahabah used to teach him Salat. (Tabarani 380/8)

TIME : DUA MOST ACCEPTED

4.        Abu Umamah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam was asked: O Rasulallah! At what time is Du'a the most readily listened to and accepted? He replied: The one made during the course of latter part of the night, and after the obligatory Salat. (Tirmidhi 3499) 

CLEAN YOUR SINS DAILY FIVE  TIMES

5.       Abu Sa’id Al Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: The five Salat are an atonement for the minor sins committed between them. Then he said: A man goes to work and between his house and his place of work are five streams. When he reaches his place of work and labours there to the extent, that Allah willed, he becomes dirty and sweaty. Then, (on his way back) he passes by the streams, bathing in all, and this repeated bathing leaves no dirt or sweat on him. Salat is just like that Whenever, someone commits a sin, and performs Salat, makes Du'a, and asks forgiveness, then he is forgiven for the sins he committed preceding the Salat. (Bazzar, Tabarani, Majma'uz-Zawaid 32/2).

Imaan :

1. Hudhaifah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Islam will gradually fade as the design on cloth fades, until neither Siyam (fasting), nor Zakat (chanty) nor Nusuk (religious devotion and sacrifice) will be known In a certain night the Qur'an will be lifted from the hearts of men leaving not a single verse on the earth, and only a few groups of people wil remain, of old men and old women, saying: We found our forefathers reciting the Kalimah La ilaha illallah, so we are reciting it, silah ibne-Zufr said to Hudhaifah Radiyallahu 'anhu: How will their  saying of La ilaha illallah benefit them when they neither know Siyam, nor Zakat, nor Nusuk? Hudhaifah Radiyallahu 'anhu evaded him So he repeated his question thrice, each time Hudhaifah evaded him Then, after the third time, he turned and faced him saying: U Silah! It will indeed save them from the Fire. (Mustadrak Hakim)

Namaz

2.'Ali Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that the last words of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam were: As-Salat, as-Salat; fear Allah about those whom your right hand possesses (your slaves and subordinates). (AbuDawud)

Note: ' Vigilantly observe, guard and establish Salat.

3. Mu'awiyah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: The one for whom Allah intends good, He guides him towards the understanding of Deen. Indeed I am only a distributor and Allah is the One Who grants. (Bukhari)

Note: The second sentence of the hadith means that Rasulullah  Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam came as a distributor of knowledge and Allah is the Bestower of understanding of this knowledge and helps in acting upon it. (Mirqat)

5. 'Abdullah ibne-'Umar Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: Three people (of an Ummah) before you, set out on a journey and they took refuge in a cave to spend the night. A rock slid from the mountain and blocked the cave. They said: Indeed you cannot be relieved from this rock, except that you invoke Allah on the basis of your good deeds. So one of them said: O Allah! I had very aged parents and I would not give milk to my children and other members of my family and slaves before my parents. One day I went far away in quest of something and I could not return to my parents before they had slept. I milked the evening milk for them and found that they were asleep. I disliked to give milk to my children and other members of my family and slaves to drink before them. So I stood by them, with the bowl of milk in my hand, waiting for them to wake up till it dawned. Then they woke up and they drank their evening's share of the milk. O Allah! If I had done so to please You, relieve us from the distress imposed upon us by this rock. So the rock moved a little resulting in a small opening; but not enough for them to get out. Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam then said that the second man said: O Allah! I had a cousin, whom I loved more than anybody. I desired to satisfy my lust with her, but she refused. Subsequently, a year of famine forced her to approach me. I gave her one hundred and twenty Dinars on the condition that she would yield herself to me. So she agreed and when I was able to get a hold on her she said: It is not permitted for you to break the seal of virginity except by its lawful right (that, is by marriage). I restrained myself from falling upon her and I walked away from her, though she was the most beloved of people to me, and I left the Dinars with her. O Allah! If I had done so to please You, then relieve us from the distress that we are suffering. So again the rock moved a little resulting in a small opening; but they were still unable to get out. Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam then said that the third one invoked: O Allah! I hired the services of some labourers and paid all of them their wages except one, who departed without taking what was due to him. I invested his wage in a business and the business prospered immensely. He came back to me after a long time and said: O slave of Allah! Pay me my due. I replied: All that you see is yours: camels, cattle, sheep and slaves. He said: O slave of Allah! Do not make fun of me. So I said: I am not joking with you. So, he took all of it and drove away not leaving anything. O Allah! If I had done so, to please You, then relieve us from this distress. So the rock moved aside, and they got out walking freely. (Bukhari)

6. Abu Sa'id Al Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: Anybody amongst you who sees an evil should change it with his hands; if he is unable to do so, then with his tongue; if he is unable to do this (even), then by his heart and this is the weakest form of Man. (Muslim)

Note: To change it by his heart means that one should at least consider it a vice in his heart and should supplicate for its change.

7. Abu Sa'id Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that a man came to NabT Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam and said: O Rasulallah! Advise me.He advised (amongst other things): Protect your tongue except for good. Undoubtedly, by this you will overcome Shaitan. (majma-'uz-Zawaid)

Collection of Ahadeeth 9

1. Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: He who says La ilaha illallah, it shall benefit him (be a means for his salvation) though before that he may be afflicted by what (Punishment) is to befall him. (Bazzar,Tabarani, Targhlb)

2. Abu Umamah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam returned from Khyber and with him were two slaves. So, 'ALi Radiyallahu 'anhu said: O Rasulallah! Grant us a  servant. He replied: Take anyone you desire of the two. 'Ali said: Choose for me. Rasulullah pointing to one said: Take him, but do not beat him; for I saw him offering Salat on our return from Khyber, and I have been forbidden to beat those who perform salat. (Musnad Ahmad, Tabarani, Majma'uz-Zawaid)

3. 'Abdullah ibne-'Abbas Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam embraced me and supplicated:O Allah! Grant him knowledge of the Book. (Bukhari)

4. Sa'id ibne-Abi Sa'id Rahimahullah said: Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu complained Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam about his needs. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Be patient Abu Sa'id, because from amongst you who loves me,poverty rushes to him, like flood water runs from the top of a valley or from a mountain downwards. (Musnad Ahmad, Majma-'uz-Zawaid)

5. Abu Kabshah Al Anmari Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: I swear by Allah upon three things, and then I will especially tell you something afterwards So, remember it well! Then he said: The wealth of a man does not decrease by giving Sadaqah. If a person endures oppression patiently, Allah increases his honour. If a person opens the door of begging, Allah opens the door of poverty upon him (or said something similar). Then he said: I am going to tell you something, so remember it well. Then he said: There are four types of people in the world. 1. The slave of Allah whom Allah has bestowed wealth and knowledge; He fears Allah regarding his wealth, and through this knowledge he spends to strengthen relationships and he knows that there is a right of Allah in it; he will be in the best of ranks.2. The slave of Allah whom Allah has given knowledge but no wealth, and he is sincere in his intention. He says: Had I been given wealth I would have spent it just like the other person, and for his intention both will be given the same reward. 3. The slave of Allah whom Allah has given wealth but no knowledge, and he spends his wealth haphazardly and he does not fear his Rabb in respect of it; he does not discharge his obligations of kinship, and does not know that Allah has a right on it. He will be in the worst of ranks. 4. The slave of Allah whom Allah has given neither wealth nor knowledge, says: Had I been given wealth, I would have spent it just like the other (third) person; for his intention, the burden of both will be alike.(Tirmidhi)

Nu'man ibne-Bashir Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: The example of the person abiding by Allah's orders and restrictions and the one who is not, is like those who drew lots for their position in a ship. Some of them settled in the upper part and others in the lower. When those who were in the lower part needed water, they had to pass by those (with water) who were on the upper part. So they said: Let us make a hole in our part of the ship and save troubling those who are above us. So, if the people in the upper part let them do what they intended, they would all perish. And if they stopped them with their hands, they would be saved and all would be saved. (Bukhari)

7. Abu Sa'id Al Khudri Radiallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: When a man gets up in the morning, all the limbs humble themselves before the tongue and say: Fear Allah concerning us, for we are dependent on you. If you are  straight we are straight, if you are crooked we are crooked. (Tirmidhi)

And I advise you to say:Subhdnallahil Aztm Wabihamdihi (Glory be to the Most Exalted Allah, and Praise be to Him), as it is the worship of the entirecreation, and by it, their sustenance is allotted; and I forbid you from two; 1.
