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)

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)

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)

6. 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)

They said: Indeed do inform us. He said: Nuh 'Alaihis Salam advised his son saying: O my son! I advise you to act upon two things and forbid you from two. 1. I advise you to say: La ilaha illallah; if it were placed in one pan of the scale, and the skies and the earth in the other pan, it would outweigh them. And if these (the skies and the earth) were to form an invincible circle, it (the Kalimah) would break through the circle and would reach Allah Ta'ala. 2. 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. Shirk (polytheism) and 2. Kibr (arrogance) because these two evils keep one away from Allah Ta'ala. (Bazzar, Majma-'uz-Zawaid)

After writing Salam she wrote: I have indeed heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: He who seeks Allah's pleasure at the cost of people's anger, Allah will suffice him against the trouble caused by people and he who seeks the pleasure of men at the cost of Allah's anger, Allah will leave him to the (mercy) of people wassalamu-'Alaik (May Allah's peace be upon you).

The Sahabah Radiyallahu 'anhum asked: So, what is your interpretation about the dream, O Rasulallah? He said: Knowledge, (It means 'Umar Radiyallahu 'anhu will receive an ample portion of the knowledge of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam). (Bukhari)

Standing around  grave for such time as it would take to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat

1. Ibne-e-Shimasa Al Mahri Rahimahullah narrates that we were present with 'Amr ibnil-'As Radiyallahu 'anhuma while he was in the throes of death. After weeping continuously, he turned his face towards the wall. At this, his son consoled him saying: O my father! Has Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam not given you the glad tidings of such and such? Has Rasulullah Sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam not given you the glad tidings of such and such?  He then faced us and said: Verily the most excellent thing that we prepare (for ourselves) is the testimony of La ilaha illallahu wa anna Muhammadur Rasulullah (There is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger). Indeed I have passed my life through three stages. I had seen myself when there was no one more bitter in hatred towards Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam than myself, and no one more desiring to seize an opportunity to kill him than myself! And had I died in that state, I certainly would have been of the people of the Fire. Then, Allah placed Islam in my heart, I came to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam and said: Give me your right hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you. He extended his right hand, but I withdrew my hand. At this, he asked: What is with you O 'Amr? I said: I want to make a condition. He said: Make a condition of what? I said: That 1 be forgiven! He said: Did you not know that (the acceptance of) Islam eradicates the sins committed before it and Hijrah (migration) eradicates the sins committed before it and that Hajj (pilgrimage) eradicates the sins committed before it. And (thereafter) no one was more revered to me than Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. And I could not bear to fill my eyes (with the sight) of him out of reverence for him. And if I were asked to describe him, I would not be able to do so, as I never looked at him to my fill; and had I died in that state, I would have been hopefully amongst the people of Paradise. Afterwards, we were given responsibilities regarding which I know not how I have fared. (This was the third phase of my life) So when I die (see that) I am not accompanied by a wailing woman, or a fire. When you have buried me, mould the mud upon my grave (in the shape of) a mound (மண் மேடு , சிறு குன்று), then remain standing around my grave for such time as it would take to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat, so that I may feel solace(ஆறுதல்) from you, while I see what reply I give to the messengers (angels) of my Rabb. (Muslim 231)

First Accountable Thing :

2. 'Abdullah Ibne-Qurt Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: On the Day of Judgement, the first thing a slave of Allah will be held accountable for is Salat. If it is found sound and satisfactory, the rest of his deeds will also be sound-and satisfactory, and if found corrupt and rotten, then the rest of his deeds will also be corrupt and rotten. (Tabarani, Targhib 245/1)

3. Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: He who comes to my Masjid (Masjid-un-Nabi) with no other intention but to learn or teach a good deed is like a Mujahid in the path of Allah. And, he who comes with some other intention is like one who has come to look at the belongings of others (and this looking is of no benefit to him), (Ibne- Majah 227)

Note: The excellence mentioned in this hadith is valid for all masjids, as all masjids are subsidiaries of Masjid-un-Nabi. (injah-ui- Haja)

4. Abu Sa’id Radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam narrated in a Hadith Qudsi that Rabb Tabaraka wa Ta'ala, says: He who is unable to do my Dhikr and make supplications because of preoccupation with the Qur'an, I grant him better than what is given to the supplicators. The Excellence of Allah's words (Al-Qur'an) over all other words is like the Excellence of Allah over all His creations. (Tirmidhi 2926)

5. Mus'ab Ibne-Sa'd Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that (My father) Sa'd Radiyallahu 'anhu considered himself superior to those who  were less than him (in bravery and wealth). So Nabi Sallallahu  'alaihi wasallam said (with an intention to reform) him: Undoubtedly you are helped and provided sustenance due to the blessings of the weak and destitute amongst you (Bukhari 2896)

6. Zaid Ibne-Thabit Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: He whose objective is the world, Allah scatters his affairs (he faces worries and anxieties in every aspect) and places the fear of poverty before his eyes; and he receives only that which has been preordained for him. And he whose intention (objective) is the Hereafter, Allah makes all his affairs easy, and enriches his heart, and the world comes to him humiliated. (Ibne-Majah 4105)

Visit Sick Even if non - muslim:

7. Anas Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that a young Jew, who used to serve Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, fell ill. Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam visited him and sat by his head and said to him: Accept Islam. He looked at his father, who was beside him. His father said: Obey Abul Qasim. So he accepted Islam. At this Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam came out saying: All praise be to Allah, Who has saved him from the Fire. (Bukhari 1356)

Seek Forgiveness

8. Hudhaifah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that I was sharp tongued with my family; I said: O Rasulallah I fear that my tongue will take me to Hell. He said: Where has your seeking forgiveness gone? I undoubtedly seek forgiveness from my Rabb a hundred times every day. (Musnad Ahmad 397/5)
