Do you know who is poor? They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: A poor man amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The poor of my Umma would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakat but (he would find himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues) since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others and shed the blood of others and beat others, and his virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds fall short to clear the account, then his sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire. (Using translation from Muslim 2581)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَنِ الْمُفْلِسُ؟» قَالُوا الْمُفْلِسُ فِينَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَا دِرْهَمَ لَهُ وَلَا مَتَاعَ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْمُفْلِسَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْ يَأْتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِصَلَاةٍ وَزَكَاةٍ وَصِيَامٍ وَيَأْتِي قَدْ شَتَمَ عِرْضَ هَذَا وَقَذَفَ هَذَا وَأَكَلَ مَالَ هَذَا وَضَرَبَ هَذَا؛ فَيَقْعُدُ فَيَقْتَصُّ هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَإِنْ فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقْضِيَ مَا عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْخَطَايَا أُخِذَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ فَطُرِحَتْ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said: "The sun has never risen but that two angels are placed on its sides, calling out in a voice that is heard by the people of the earth, except for the two heavy ones. They say, 'O people, come to your Lord, for what is little but sufficient is better than what is abundant but distracts. And never has a sun set but that two angels are sent in its place, calling out in a voice that is heard by the people of the earth, except for the two heavy ones.' O Allah, grant sustenance to the spender and destroyer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَا طَلَعَتْ شَمْسٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا بِجَنَبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ يُسْمِعَانِ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ هَلُمُّوا إِلَى رَبِّكُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ مَا قَلَّ وَكَفَى خَيْرٌ مِمَّا كَثُرَ وَأَلْهَى وَلَا آبَتْ شَمْسٌ قَطُّ إِلَّا بُعِثَ بِجَنَبَتَيْهَا مَلَكَانِ يُنَادِيَانِ يُسْمِعَانِ أَهْلَ الْأَرْضِ إِلَّا الثَّقَلَيْنِ اللَّهُمَّ أَعْطِ مُنْفِقًا خَلَفًا وَأَعْطِ مُمْسِكًا تَلَفًا  

[Machine] "Dependence on Allah is the essence of faith."  

«التَّوَكُّلُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ جِمَاعُ الْإِيمَانِ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ: "Woe to gold and silver!" Umar asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what should we do or what should we engage in?" He replied, "Have a tongue that remembers Allah, a heart that is grateful, and a wife that helps you in the Hereafter."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «تَبًّا لِلذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ» قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَوْلُكَ «تَبًّا لِلذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ» فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؛ أَوْ مَا نَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ «لِسَانًا ذَاكِرًا وَقَلْبًا شَاكِرًا وَزَوْجَةً تُعِينُ عَلَى الْآخِرَةِ»  

"If a pellet like this one, and he pointed to one like Al-jumjumah were to be dropped from the heavens to the earth – and it is the distance of traveling five hundred years it would reach the earth before the night-fall. But if it were dropped from the top of the chain it would travel for forty years, day and night, before it would reach its foundation or bottom.” (Hasan) (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2588)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ أَنَّ رَصَاصَةً مِثْلَ هَذِهِ وَأَشَارَ إِلَى مِثْلِ الْجُمْجُمَةِ أُرْسِلَتْ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ وَهِيَ مَسِيرَةُ خَمْسِمِائَةِ سَنَةٍ لَبَلَغَتِ الْأَرْضَ قَبْلَ اللَّيْلِ وَلَوْ أَنَّهَا أُرْسِلَتْ مِنْ رَأْسِ السِّلْسِلَةِ لَسَارَتْ أَرْبَعِينَ خَرِيفًا؛ اللَّيْلَ وَالنَّهَارَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَبْلُغَ أَصْلَهَا»  

"And therein they will grimace in displace lips. -He will be grilled by the Fire until his upper lip is folded up reaching the middle of his head, And his bottom lip pains down, until it hits his navel." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2587)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ {وَهُمْ فِيهَا كَالِحُونَ} [المؤمنون 104] قَالَ «تَشْوِيهِ النَّارُ؛ فَتَقَلَّصُ شَفَتُهُ الْعُلْيَا حَتَّى تَبْلُغَ وَسَطَ رَأْسِهِ وَتَسْتَرْخِي شَفَتُهُ السُّفْلَى حَتَّى تَضْرِبَ سُرَّتَهُ»  

Indeed Hamim will be poured over their heads. The Hamim will penetrate until it finds its way to his insides. Then whatever is inside him will fall out until it pours over his feet while it melts away. Then he will be reformed to how he was." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2582)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الْحَمِيمَ لَيُصَبُّ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ فَيَنْفُذُ الْجُمْجُمَةَ حَتَّى يَخْلُصَ إِلَى جَوْفِهِ فَيَسْلُتُ مَا فِي جَوْفِهِ حَتَّى يَمْرُقَ مِنْ قَدَمَيْهِ وَهُوَ الصَّهْرُ ثُمَّ يُعَادُ كَمَا كَانَ»  

"He will be given water of Sadid to drink, he will swallow it..." that the Prophet ﷺ said: " It will be brought toward his mouth and he will dislike it, so whenever it is brought closer to him it will melt his face and the skin of his head will fall into it. Then whenever he drinks from it, his bowels will be severed until it comes out from his anus. Allah, the Blessed and Exalted says: "And they will be given water of Hamim to drink such that it cuts up their bowels..." and He says: "And if they call for drink they will be given water of Muhl which melts the faces, the worst of drinks..." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2583)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {وَيُسْقَى مِنْ مَاءٍ صَدِيدٍ يَتَجَرَّعُهُ} [إبراهيم 17] قَالَ يُقَرَّبُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَتَكَرَّهُهُ فَإِذَا أُدْنِيَ مِنْهُ شَوَى وَجْهَهُ وَوَقَّعَ فَرْوَةَ رَأْسِهِ فَإِذَا شَرِبَهُ قَطَّعَ أَمْعَاءَهُ حَتَّى يَخْرُجَ مِنْ دُبُرِهِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَسُقُوا مَاءً حَمِيمًا فَقَطَّعَ أَمْعَاءَهُمْ} [محمد 15] وَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ {وَإِنْ يَسْتَغِيثُوا يُغَاثُوا بِمَاءٍ كَالْمُهْلِ يَشْوِي الْوُجُوهَ بِئْسَ الشَّرَابُ} [الكهف 29]  

I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A (small) place equal to an area occupied by a whip in Paradise is better than the (whole) world and whatever is in it; and an undertaking (journey) in the forenoon or in the afternoon for Allah's Cause, is better than the whole world and whatever is in it." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6415)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَغَدْوَةٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ رَوْحَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا وَلَمَوْضِعُ سَوْطِ أَحَدِكُمْ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا»  

[Machine] "Our Prophet ﷺ commanded us to visit the sick and attend funerals."  

«أَمَرَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعِيَادَةِ الْمَرِيضِ وَاتِّبَاعِ الْجَنَائِزِ»  

Messenger of Allah narrated that Allah, Blessed and Most High said: "Son of Adam: Perform four Rak'ah for Me in the beginning of the day it will suffice you for the latter part of it." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 475)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ صَلِّ لِي ابْنَ آدَمَ أَرْبَعَ رَكَعَاتٍ فِي أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ أَكْفِكَ آخِرَهُ  

O Allah, forgives him; O Allah, have mercy on him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 469)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ تُصَلِّي عَلَى الْعَبْدِ مَا دَامَ فِي مُصَلَّاهُ مَا لَمْ يُحْدِثْ تَقُولُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Whoever wipes over the head of an orphan, desiring nothing except Allah's pleasure, will receive rewards for every hair that his hand touched. And whoever is kind to an orphan, whether a boy or a girl, will be with me in Paradise like these two fingers." And he pointed to his middle finger and index finger, joining them together.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ مَسَحَ عَلَى رَأْسِ يَتِيمٍ لَا يُرِيدُ بِهِ إِلَّا اللَّهَ ﷻ كَانَ لَهُ بِكُلِّ شَعْرَةٍ مَرَّتْ عَلَيْهَا يَدُهُ حَسَنَاتٌ وَمَنْ أَحْسَنَ إِلَى يَتِيمٍ أَوْ يَتِيمَةٍ كُنْتُ أَنَا وَهُوَ كَهَاتَيْنِ» وَضَمَّ بَيْنَ الْوُسْطَى وَالسَّبَّابَةِ  

ʿEverything apart from the shade of a house, a sack of bread, a garment to cover his ʿawrah and water, anything more than that the son of Adam has no right to.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 440)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ شَيْءٍ سِوَى ظِلِّ بَيْتٍ وَجِلْفِ الْخُبْزِ وَثَوْبٍ يُوَارِي عَوْرَتَهُ وَالْمَاءِ فَمَا فَضَلَ عَنْ هَذَا فَلَيْسَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ فِيهِ حَقٌّ»  

Don't you eat and drink according to your heart's desire, whereas I saw that your Prophet ﷺ (at times) could not find even an inferior quality of the dates with which he could fill his belly? Qutaiba, however, did not make a mention of It. (Using translation from Muslim 2977a)   

سَمِعْتُ النُّعْمَانَ بْنَ بَشِيرٍ يَقُولُ «السَّنَمُ فِي طَعَامٍ وَشَرَابٍ مَا شِئْتُمْ؛ لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ مَا يَجِدُ مِنَ الدَّقَلِ مَا يَمْلَأُ بَطْنَهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was on the pulpit saying, "I warn you against the Fire," until one of the corners of his cloak slipped from his shoulder as he was saying, "I warn you against the Fire." Had this been my place, I would have made the people of the market or whomever Allah willed among them hear it, while I was on the pulpit of Al-Kufah.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ يَقُولُ «أُنْذِرُكُمُ النَّارَ» حَتَّى سَقَطَ إِحْدَى عِطْفَي رِدَائِهِ عَنْ مَنْكِبِهِ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «أُنْذِرُكُمُ النَّارَ» وَلَوْ كَانَ مَكَانِي هَذَا لَأَسْمَعَ أَهْلَ السُّوقِ أَوْ مَنْ شَاءَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ وَهُوَ عَلَى مِنْبَرِ الْكُوفَةِ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "Do not wish for death, for the suffering of the beginning is severe. It is a blessing for a slave to have a long life and be granted repentance by Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَمَنَّوُا الْمَوْتَ؛ فَإِنَّ هَوْلَ الْمَطْلَعِ شَدِيدٌ وَإِنَّ مِنْ سَعَادَةِ الْعَبْدِ أَنْ يَطُولَ عُمْرُهُ وَيَرْزُقَهُ اللَّهُ الْإِنَابَةَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "The space of a whip or a stick in Paradise is better than what is between the heavens and the earth."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَوْضِعُ سَوْطٍ أَوْ عَصًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ خَيْرٌ مِمَّا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ»  

[Machine] The people of knowledge protected their knowledge and placed it with their own people, in order to benefit the people of their time. However, the people of this world came and belittled them. I heard your Prophet ﷺ say, "Whoever made his worries one single concern, Allah will suffice him in all his worries. And whoever became preoccupied with worries unrelated to the affairs of this world, Allah will not care in which valleys he perishes."  

أَنَّ أَهْلَ الْعِلْمِ صَانُوا عِلْمَهُمْ وَوَضَعُوهُ عِنْدَ أَهْلِهِ لَسَادُوا بِهِ أَهْلَ زَمَانِهِمْ وَلَكِنَّهُمْ أَتَوْا بِهِ أَهْلَ الدُّنْيَا؛ فَاسْتَخَفُّوا بِهِمْ سَمِعْتُ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ جَعَلَ هُمُومَهُ هَمًّا وَاحِدًا كَفَاهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ سَائِرَ هُمُومِهِ وَمَنْ تَشَعَّبَتْ بِهِ الْهُمُومُ دُونَ أَحْوَالِ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يُبَالِ اللَّهُ ﷻ فِي أَيِّ أَوْدِيَتِهِ هَلَكَ»  

‘Allah gives respite to the wrongdoer, then when He seizes him, He does not let him go.” Then he recited: “Such is the Seizure of your Lord when He seizes the (population of) towns while they are doing wrong.”[11:102] (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4018)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يُمْلِي لِلظَّالِمِ فَإِذَا أَخَذَهُ لَمْ يُفْلِتْهُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {وَكَذَلِكَ أَخْذُ رَبِّكَ إِذَا أَخَذَ الْقُرَى وَهِيَ ظَالِمَةٌ} [هود 102]  

[Machine] About the Prophet ﷺ said, "The tyrants and arrogant ones will be brought in the form of ants on the Day of Judgment, and people will trample over them due to their insignificance compared to Allah, until disputes are settled among people." He said, "Then they will be taken to the Fire of the Abyss." It was asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is the Fire of the Abyss?" He said, "It is the essence of the people of Hellfire."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «يُجَاءُ بِالْجَبَّارِينَ وَالْمُتَكَبِّرِينَ رِجَالًا فِي صُورَةِ الذَّرِ يَطَؤُهُمُ النَّاسُ مِنْ هَوَانِهِمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ حَتَّى يُقْضَى بَيْنَ النَّاسِ» قَالَ «ثُمَّ يُذْهَبُ بِهِمْ إِلَى نَارِ الْأَنْيَارِ» قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا نَارُ الْأَنْيَارِ؟ قَالَ «عُصَارَةُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a dead donkey with his companions, and he said to them, "Do you see how this animal has become worthless to its owner?" They replied, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, this world is more insignificant to Allah than this animal is to its owner when they throw it away."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرَّ هُوَ وَأَصْحَابُهُ بِسَخْلَةٍ مَيْتًا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ «هَلْ تَرَوْنَ هَذِهِ هَانَتْ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا؟» قَالُوا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ لَلدُّنْيَا أَهْوَنُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ مِنْ هَذِهِ عَلَى أَهْلِهَا حِينَ أَلْقَوْهَا»  

[Machine] Narrated by Umm Habibah, the wife of the Prophet ﷺ , who reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Every word uttered by the son of Adam is upon him, for it is either an obligation to do good, a prohibition from evil, or a remembrance of Allah, the Most High." A man said to Sufyan, "What a strict hadith this is!" Sufyan asked, "And what makes it so strict?" The man replied, "Allah (SWT) says: 'There is no good in most of their secret talks except (in) him who orders Sadaqah (charity in Allah's Cause), or Maa’roof (Islamic Monotheism and all the good and righteous deeds which Allah has ordained), or antisadistic behaviors between the people.' (Quran 4:114) And Allah (SWT) also says: 'And enjoin As-Salat (the prayer) on your companions, and stick to patience. (Quran 103:3) And Allah (SWT) says: 'And they cannot intercede except for him with whom He is pleased.' (Quran 21:28) And Allah (SWT) says: 'Except for him who (the angel of death) is granted permission by the Most Beneficent (Allah), and then says the truth (i.e. about Muhammad ﷺ and his message of Islam).' (Quran 78:38)" Sufyan commented, "This is the speech of my Lord (SWT), which Jibril (Gabriel) ﷺ brought to me."  

عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «كُلُّ كَلَامِ ابْنِ آدَمَ عَلَيْهِ لَا لَهُ إِلَّا أَمْرًا بِمَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ نَهْيًا عَنْ مُنْكَرٍ أَوْ ذِكْرًا لِلَّهِ تَعَالَى» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ لِسُفْيَانَ مَا أَشَدَّ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ وَمَا شِدَّتُهُ؟ قَالَ قَالَ اللَّهُ ﷻ {لَا خَيْرَ فِي كَثِيرٍ مِنْ نَجْوَاهُمْ إِلَّا مَنْ أَمَرَ بِصَدَقَةٍ أَوْ مَعْرُوفٍ أَوْ إِصْلَاحٍ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ} [النساء 114] وَقَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى {وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالْحَقِّ وَتَوَاصَوْا بِالصَّبْرِ} [العصر 3] وَقَالَ ﷻ {وَلَا يَشْفَعُونَ إِلَّا لِمَنِ ارْتَضَى} [الأنبياء 28] وَقَالَ ﷻ {إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ الرَّحْمَنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا} [النبأ 38] وَقَالَ سُفْيَانُ هَذَا كَلَامُ رَبِّي ﷻ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِهِ جَبْرَائِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was the most merciful of people towards children. He had a son who was breastfed in a part of the city of Madinah, and his breast grew and he would come to him while we were with him, and the house would be filled with the scent of incense and he would smell it and kiss him, then he would return.  

«كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَرْحَمَ النَّاسِ [23] بِالصِّبيَانِ وَكَانَ لَهُ ابْنٌ مُسْتَرْضَعٌ فِي نَاحِيَةِ الْمَدِينَةِ وَكَانَ ظِئْرُهُ قَيْنًا وَكَانَ يَأْتِيهِ وَنَحْنُ مَعَهُ قَدْ دَخَّنَ الْبَيْتَ بِالْإِذْخِرِ فَيَشَمُّهُ وَيُقَبِّلُهُ ثُمَّ يَرْجِعُ»  

The most excellent fast after Ramadan is God's month. al-Muharram, and the most excellent prayer after what is prescribed is prayer during the night. (Using translation from Muslim 1163a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ الصِّيَامِ بَعْدَ رَمَضَانَ شَهْرُ اللَّهِ الْمُحَرَّمُ وَأَفْضَلُ الصَّلَاةِ بَعْدَ الْفَرِيضَةِ صَلَاةُ اللَّيْلِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "There is no group of people who gather in a house from the houses of Allah, learning and studying the Book of Allah among themselves, except that the angels surround them, mercy covers them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him. And there is no person who walks on a path seeking knowledge, except that Allah makes his path to Paradise easy for him."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا مِنْ قَوْمٍ يَجْتَمِعُونَ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ ﷻ؛ يَتَعَلَّمُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ إِلَّا حَفَّتْ بِهِمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ وَمَا مِنْ رَجُلٍ يَسْلُكُ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ الْعِلْمَ إِلَّا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ ﷻ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] "The first time that caravans were used was during the time of Al-Hajjaj," my mother told me as she was going on a pilgrimage. "I didn't see any caravans in Al-Qadisiyyah, only people on foot," she added. Sufyan said, "It used to be said 'The righteous perform Hajj on foot'."  

«أَوَّلُ مَا اتُّخِذَتِ الْمَحَامِلُ زَمَنَ الْحَجَّاجِ» شَيَّعْتُ أُمِّي خَرَجَتْ حَاجَّةً فَمَا رَأَيْتُ فِي الْقَادِسِيَّةِ مَحْمَلًا إِنَّمَا النَّاسُ عَلَى الرِّحَالِ قَالَ سُفْيَانُ كَانَ يُقَالُ «حَجُّ الْأَبْرَارِ عَلَى الرِّحَالِ»  

I never saw the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) laugh fully to such an extent that I could see his uvula. He would only smile, and when he saw clouds or wind, his face showed signs (of fear). I asked him: Messenger of Allah! When the people see the cloud, they rejoice, hoping for that it may contain rain, and I notice that when you see it, (the signs of) abomination on your face. He replied: ‘A’ishah! What gives me safety from the fact that it might contain punishment? A people were punished by the wind. When those people saw the punishment, they said: this is a cloud which would give us rain. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5098)  

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ «مَا رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُسْتَجْمِعًا ضَاحِكًا حَتَّى أَرَى لَهَوَاتِهِ؛ إِنَّمَا كَانَ يَبْتَسِمُ» وَقَالَتْ وَكَانَ إِذَا رَأَى غَيْمًا أَوْ رِيحًا عُرِفَ ذَلِكَ فِي وَجْهِهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ النَّاسُ إِذَا رَأَوُا الْغَيْمَ فَرِحُوا؛ رَجَاءَ أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ الْمَطَرُ وَأَرَاكَ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُ عُرِفَتْ فِي وَجْهِكَ الْكَرَاهِيَةُ؟ فَقَالَ يَا عَائِشَةُ مَا يُؤْمِنُنِي أَنْ يَكُونَ فِيهِ عَذَابٌ؟ قَدْ عُذِّبَ قَوْمٌ بِالرِّيحِ وَقَدْ رَأَى قَوْمٌ الْعَذَابَ فَقَالُوا {هَذَا عَارِضٌ مُمْطِرُنَا} [الأحقاف 24]  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The most fortunate people in this world will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and Allah, blessed and exalted, will command them to be dipped into the fire." He said, "They will be dipped in the fire, then brought back. Then Allah will ask, 'O son of Adam, have you ever experienced any pleasure? Have you ever seen anything that brings comfort to the eyes? Have you ever felt any joy?' He will reply, 'No, by Your honor.' Then it will be said, 'Return him to the fire.' Then the most severely tested people, who faced the greatest hardships in this world, will be brought forth and Allah (mighty and sublime be He) will command them to be dipped into Paradise." They will be dipped into Paradise, then brought back. Then it will be said, 'O son of Adam, have you ever seen anything that you hate?' He will reply, 'No, by Your honor. I have never seen anything that I hated.'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُؤْتَى بِأَنْعَمِ النَّاسِ فِي الدُّنْيَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى اصْبُغُوهُ فِي النَّارِ صِبْغَةً قَالَ فَيَصْبُغُونَهُ فِي النَّارِ صِبْغَةً ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ هَلْ أَصَبْتَ نَعِيمًا قَطُّ؟ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ قُرَّةَ عَيْنٍ قَطُّ؟ هَلْ أَصَبْتَ سُرُورًا؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ رُدُّوهُ إِلَى النَّارِ ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِأَشَدِّ النَّاسِ كَانَ بَلَاءً فِي الدُّنْيَا وَأَجْهَدَهُ جَهْدًا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ ﷻ اصْبُغُوهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ صَبْغًا فَيُصْبَغُ فِيهَا ثُمَّ يُؤْتَى بِهِ ثُمَّ يُقَالُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ هَلْ رَأَيْتَ مَا تَكْرَهُ قَطُّ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا وَعِزَّتِكَ مَا رَأَيْتُ شَيْئًا قَطُّ أَكْرَهُهُ  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, did you not tell me, 'It is better for you not to ask anyone for anything?'" He said, "That is only if you ask people and what Allah has given you is without asking, for it is provision that Allah has bestowed upon you."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَلَيْسَ قَدْ قُلْتَ لِي «إِنَّ خَيْرًا لَكَ أَنْ لَا تَسْأَلَ أَحَدًا شَيْئًا؟» قَالَ «إِنَّمَا ذَاكَ أَنْ تَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ وَمَا آتَاكَ اللَّهُ مِنْ غَيْرِ مَسْأَلَةٍ فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ رِزْقٌ رَزَقَكَهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I looked at Paradise and found that its majority consists of the poor. And I looked at Hellfire and found that its majority consists of women. And I looked at the dwellers of Hell and found that they are mostly elderly people. And the disbelievers have been ordered to Hell."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «نَظَرْتُ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِهَا الْمَسَاكِينُ وَنَظَرْتُ إِلَى النَّارِ فَإِذَا أَكْثَرُ أَهْلِهَا النِّسَاءُ وَإِذَا أَهْلُ الْجَدِّ مَحْبُوسُونَ وَإِذَا الْكُفَّارُ قَدْ أُمِرَ بِهِمْ إِلَى النَّارِ»  

“How do you feel?” He said: “I have hope in Allah, O Messenger of Allah, but I fear my sins.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “These two things (hope and fear) do not coexist in the heart of a person in a situation like this, but Allah will give him that which he hopes for and keep him safe from that which he fears.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4261)  

دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى شَابٍّ وَهُوَ فِي الْمَوْتِ فَقَالَ كَيْفَ تَجِدُكَ؟ قَالَ أَرْجُو اللَّهَ ﷻ وَأَخَافُ ذُنُوبِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ فِي مِثْلِ هَذَا الْمَوْطِنِ إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ اللَّهُ ﷻ مَا يَرْجُو وَآمَنَهُ مِمَّا يَخَافُ»  

“A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: ‘I intend to undertake a journey, so give me provision. He said: ‘May Allah grant you Taqwa as your provision (Zawwadak Allāhut-taqwā).’ He said: ‘Give me more.’ He said: ‘And may He forgive your sin (Wa ghafara dhanbak).’ He said: ‘Give me more, may my father be ransomed for you, and my mother.’ He said: ‘And may He make goodness easy for you wherever you are (Wa yassara lakal-khaira ḥaithu mā kunt).’” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3444)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ إِنِّي أُرِيدُ سَفَرًا فَزَوِّدْنِي قَالَ «زَوَّدَكَ اللَّهُ التَّقْوَى» فَقَالَ زِدْنِي فَقَالَ «وَغَفَرَ ذَنْبَكَ» قَالَ زِدْنِي بَأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي قَالَ «وَيَسَّرَ لَكَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُمَا كُنْتَ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "How many are there with dishevelled hair, covered with dust, possessing two cloths, whom no one pays any mind to - if he swears by Allah then He shall fulfill it. Among them is Al-Bara bin Malik." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3854)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَمْ مِنْ أَشْعَثَ أَغْبَرَ ذِي طِمْرَيْنِ لَا يُؤْبَهُ لَهُ لَوْ أَقْسَمَ عَلَى اللَّهِ ﷻ لَأَبَرَّهُ» مِنْهُمُ الْبَرَاءُ بْنُ مَعْرُورٍ ؓ  

[Machine] It is as if I am seeing the Prophet's finger ﷺ pointing at the beads and those following it, while he says, "I was sent and the Hour are like this, close to each other."  

كَأَنِّي أَنْظُرُ إِلَى أُصْبُعَيِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَأَشَارَ بِالْمُسَبِّحَةِ وَالَّتِي تَلِيهَا وَهُوَ يَقُولُ «بُعِثْتُ أَنَا وَالسَّاعَةُ كَهَذِهِ مِنْ هَذِهِ»  

[Machine] Aisha brought out to us a thick garment made from Yemeni fabric and a covering from this one you call the "muhlabbada." And she said, "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was shrouded in these two pieces of clothing."  

أَخْرَجَتْ إِلَيْنَا عَائِشَةُ ؓ إِزَارًا غَلِيظًا مِمَّا يُصْنَعُ بِالْيَمَنِ وَكِسَاءً مِنْ هَذِهِ الَّتِي تَدْعُونَهَا الْمُلَبَّدَةَ فَقَالَتْ «قُبِضَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي هَذَيْنِ الثَّوْبَيْنِ»  

[Machine] A companion (عَرِيفٌ) used to serve us a supply of dates (تَمْرٍ). One day, the Messenger of Allah (صَلَاةً) performed prayer with us and he overheard a person behind him murmuring (هَتَفَ) to himself. The man said, "O Messenger of Allah! Dates have burned our stomachs and our throats have become dry." The Prophet then delivered a sermon and praised Allah, saying, "By Allah! If I could find meat and bread for you, I would have fed you, and surely, a time will come upon you when you will have food just like the sides of the Kaaba." The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! Are we better today or were we better then?" He replied, "You are better today than you were then. During that time, your people used to harm each other and would attack one another."  

عَرِيفٌ وَكَانَ يَجْرِي عَلَيْنَا مُدٌّ مِنْ تَمْرٍ بَيْنَ اثْنَيْنِ فَصَلَّى بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةً فَهَتَفَ بِهِ هَاتِفٌ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ أَحْرَقَ بُطُونَنَا التَّمْرُ وَتَخَرَّقَتْ عَنَّا الْخُنُفُ فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَقَالَ «وَاللَّهِ لَوْ أَجِدُ لَكُمُ اللَّحْمَ وَالْخُبْزَ لَأَطْعَمْتُكُمُوهُ وَلَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ [25] زَمَانٌ يُغْدَا عَلَى أَحَدِكُمْ بِالْجِفَانِ وَيُرَاحُ وَلَتَلْبَسُنَّ مِثْلَ أَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَحْنُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا أَوْ يَوْمَئِذٍ قَالَ «أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ أَنْتُمُ الْيَوْمَ خَيْرٌ مِنْكُمْ يَوْمَئِذٍ؛ يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ»  

[Machine] "He is the noblest drink of the people of Paradise; a solace for the close ones and a delight for all people."  

«هُوَ أَشْرَفُ شَرَابِ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ؛ لِلْمُقَرَّبِينَ صَرْفًا وَلِلنَّاسِ مِزَاجٌ»  

[Machine] The prophet ﷺ sent to a Jew to borrow something from him, and the Jew said, "Does Muhammad have anything to borrow?" So I went to the prophet ﷺ and told him, and he said, "The Jew is lying." He repeated this three times, saying, "I am better than anyone who has given me allegiance." He also said three times, "It is better for a man to wear a garment made of various rags than to take in his trust what is not rightfully his."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ إِلَى يَهُودِيٍّ؛ يَسْتَسْلِفُهُ شَيْئًا إِلَى الْمَيْسَرَةِ فَقَالَ الْيَهُودِيُّ وَهَلْ لِمُحَمَّدٍ مَيْسَرَةٌ؟ قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ فَقَالَ «كَذَبَ الْيَهُودِيُّ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ «أَنَا خَيْرُ مَنْ بَايَعَ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ «لَأَنْ يَلْبَسَ الرَّجُلُ ثَوْبًا مِنْ رِقَاعٍ شَتَّى خَيْرٌ لَهُ مِنْ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ فِي أَمَانَتِهِ مَا لَيْسَ عِنْدَهُ»  

[Machine] "When the verse {And those who hoard gold and silver and do not spend it in the way of Allah} [Al-Tawbah 34] was revealed, some companions of the Prophet ﷺ were with him during one of his journeys. They said, 'Something has been revealed about gold and silver that has not been revealed before. If only we knew which wealth is better, we would have taken it?' He ﷺ said, 'The best wealth is a tongue that remembers (Allah), a heart that is grateful, and a believing wife who helps him in his faith.'"  

لَمَّا أُنْزِلَتْ {وَالَّذِينَ يَكْنِزُونَ الذَّهَبَ وَالْفِضَّةَ وَلَا يُنْفِقُونَهَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ} [التوبة 34] قَالَ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ أَسْفَارِهِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِهِ قَدْ أُنْزِلَ فِي الذَّهَبِ وَالْفِضَّةِ مَا أُنْزِلَ فَلَوْ أَنَّا عَلِمْنَا أَيُّ الْمَالِ خَيْرٌ اتَّخَذْنَاهُ؟ قَالَ قَالَ «أَفْضَلُهُ لِسَانٌ ذَاكِرٌ وَقَلْبٌ شَاكِرٌ وَزَوْجَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ تُعِينُهُ عَلَى الْإِيمَانِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ sent Mu'adh to Yemen and he said, "O Messenger of Allah, advise me." He said, "You must have Taqwa (fear of Allah) as much as you can, and remember Allah at every stone and tree. And when you commit a sin, follow it with repentance, with secrecy if it was done secretly, and with openness if it was done openly."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بَعَثَ مُعَاذًا إِلَى الْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِتَقْوَى اللَّهِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ وَاذْكُرِ اللَّهَ ﷻ عِنْدَ كُلِّ حَجَرٍ وَشَجَرٍ وَإِذَا عَمِلْتَ سَيِّئَةً فَأَحْدِثْ عِنْدَهَا تَوْبَةً السِّرُّ بِالسِّرِّ وَالْعَلَانِيَةُ بِالْعَلَانِيَةِ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'A group of people who sit together without remembering Allah and sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ will be filled with regret on the Day of Judgment, even if they enter paradise for their good deeds.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا قَعَدَ قَوْمٌ مَقْعَدًا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ ﷻ فِيهِ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنْ دَخَلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لِلثَّوَابِ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, advise me." He said, "If you do a bad deed, follow it with a good deed which will erase it." He said, I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what about good deeds?" He said, "There is no god but Allah, it is the best of good deeds."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي قَالَ «إِذَا عَمِلْتَ سَيِّئَةً فَأَتْبِعْهَا حَسَنَةً تَمْحُهَا» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَمِنَ الْحَسَنَاتِ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ» قَالَ «هِيَ أَفْضَلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ received a visit from Gabriel, and there was a man with him who was weeping. The Prophet asked, "Who is this?" and they replied, "It is so-and-so." Gabriel then said, "We measure all the deeds of the children of Adam, except for crying. For indeed, Allah extinguishes the fire of Hell with a tear."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ نَزَلَ عَلَيْهِ جِبْرِيلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ [26] وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ يَبْكِي فَقَالَ «مَنْ هَذَا؟» قَالَ «فُلَانٌ» قَالَ جِبْرِيلُ «إِنَّا نَزِنُ أَعْمَالَ بَنِي آدَمَ كُلَّهَا إِلَّا الْبُكَاءَ؛ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ يُطْفِئُ بِالدَّمْعَةِ بُحُورًا مِنْ نَارِ جَهَنَّمَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said to Jibril ﷺ , "You have not come to me except with a serious look on your face." Jibril ﷺ replied, "I have not smiled since the creation of fire."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ لِجِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ «لَمْ تَأْتِنِي إِلَّا وَأَنْتَ صَارٌّ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْكَ» قَالَ «إِنِّي لَمْ أَضْحَكْ مُنْذُ خُلِقَتِ النَّارُ»  

[Machine] That the Prophet ﷺ recited, "Indeed, We have chains and Hellfire and food that chokes and a painful punishment" [Al-Muzzammil 13], and he was startled.  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَرَأَ {إِنَّ لَدَيْنَا أَنْكَالًا وَجَحِيمًا وَطَعَامًا ذَا غُصَّةٍ وَعَذَابًا أَلِيمًا} [المزمل 13] فَصَعِقَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you knew that which I know, you would laugh little and weep much." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6486)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to me, "O Abu Dharr, look at the highest man in the mosque." I looked and saw a man wearing fine clothes. He then said, "Look at the lowest man in the mosque." I looked and saw a man with good manners. I said, "This man." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This man will have a better position with Allah on the Day of Judgment than the whole earth filled with people like him."  

قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ انْظُرْ أَرْفَعَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ» قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ قَالَ قُلْتُ هَذَا قَالَ «انْظُرْ أَوْضَعَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ» قَالَ فَنَظَرْتُ فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ أَخْلَاقٌ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ هَذَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَهَذَا خَيْرٌ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ ﷻ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مِنْ مِلْءِ الْأَرْضِ مِثْلَ هَذَا»  

[Machine] Ali said, "We only had a ram to sleep on its side, and Fatimah would knead on its side."  

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ «مَا كَانَ لَنَا إِلَّا إِهَابُ كَبْشٍ نَنَامُ عَلَى نَاحِيَتِهِ وَتَعْجِنُ فَاطِمَةُ ؓ عَلَى نَاحِيَتِهِ»  

[Machine] "When the Prophet married Fatimah, what was prepared for her was a straw mattress and a pillow filled with palm fibers, and a sheep skin." He said, "And they brought a heap of sand and spread it in the house."  

«لَمَّا زَوَّجَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَاطِمَةَ ؓ كَانَ مَا جُهِّزَتْ بِهِ سَرِيرٌ مُشَرَّطٌ وَوِسَادَةٌ مِنْ أَدَمٍ حَشْوُهَا لِيفٌ وَثَوْرٌ مِنْ أَقِطٍ» قَالَ «وَجَاءُوا بِبَطْحَاءَ فَنَثَرُوهَا فِي الْبَيْتِ»
