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

3. 'Abdullah Ibne-Busr Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that a man said: Rasulallah! I know that the commandments of Sharia'h are many, so please tell me the one to which I may adhere to. He replied: Your toungue should always remain busy and fresh with the Dhikr of Allah: (Tirmidhi 3375)

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)

Teach people and don’t be Stern with them

Ibne- 'Abbas Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Teach people (Deen), and be lenient with them and do not be stern with them. (Musnad Ahmad 283/1)

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)

Collection of Ahadeeth 17

 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).
