Collection of Ahadeeth 30

Keep an Angel as your companion

1.    'Uqbah Ibne-'Amir Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Any rider who keeps his heart free for Allah and his remembrance during a journey, then an angel becomes his companion. And one who engages in nothing but absurd poetry and similar useless things is accompanied by the Shaitan. (Tabarani, Majma-'uz-Zawaid 185/10)

Living and Dead

2.    Abu Musa Radiyallahu-anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: The example of one who remembers his Rabb and the one who does not remember his Rabb is like the example of the living and the dead. It is also mentioned in another narration: The example of a house in which Allah is remembered and of a house in which Allah is not remembered is like the example of the living and the dead. (Bukhari, Muslim 1823)

Aamal having highest reward

3.    Mu'adh Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that a man asked Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam: Which Jihad has the highest reward? He replied: (Jihad) in which the remembrance of Allah Tabaraka wa Ta'ala is done excessively. The man asked: Among those fasting, who has the highest reward? He replied: The one who remembers Allah Tabaraka wa Ta'ala excessively. Then similarly, Satat, Zakat, Hajj and Sadaqah all were mentioned, and for each of them, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam kept on saying that the highest reward will be for the one who remembers Allah Tabaraka wa Ta'ala excessively (in all these deeds). Abu Bakr Radiyallahu 'anhu said to 'Umar Radiyallahu 'anhu: O Abu Hafsah! Those who remember Allah have taken away all the virtues. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: You are absolutely right! (Musnad Ahmad 483/2)

4.    Note: Abu Hafsah means father of Hafsah. Hafsah Radiyallahu 'anha is the daughter of 'Umar Radiyallahu 'anhu and the wife of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam.

Reduces the burden

5.    Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: The Mufarridun have gone ahead! Sahabah asked: Who are the Mufarridun, O Rasulallah? He replied: Those who are devoted intensively to the remembrance of Allah. Allah's remembrance reduces their burdens. Hence, they will come with a little burden on the Day of Resurrection. (Tirmidhi 3096)
