Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj will dry up Lake Tiberias by drinking its water
Rasūlullāh ﷺ mentioned: "... when Allah ﷻ revealed to ʿĪsá b. Maryam: 'I have already released servants from My servants (Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj) who you will not be able to fight, so take My salves for refuge to ˹mount˺ Ṭūr'. Then Allah ﷻ will send forth Yaʾjūj Maʾjūj, and they, as Allah ﷻ said: '...from every slope they will descend.' (Anbiyāʾ 21:96). Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ, then He will send insects toward their necks, and they will turn into predator-prey (farsā) ˹and die˺ like the death of one person. ThenʿĪsá and his companions will get down ˹from mount Ṭur˺ and they will not find a place to stay on land except that it has been filled with a foul stench of their ˹rotting corpses˺. Then ʿĪsá and his companions will implore Allah ﷻ ˹again˺, then He will send forth birds with necks like thereof Bactrian camels (vultures?), and they will carry their ˹corpses˺ and throw them where Allah ﷻ wills." Ibn Jābir said, then Yazīd b. ʿAṭāʾ al-Saksakī narrated to me, from Kaʿb or other than him who said: "then they threw them in the ditch (abyss)". Ibn Jābir said: then I said, O Abū Zayd, and where is the ditch? He said: "Eastwardly..."

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , saying, "Every heart is between two fingers of the fingers of the Most Merciful. He directs it as He wills. If He wants to establish it, He establishes it, and if He wants to mislead it, He misleads it." He also used to say, "O Turner of the hearts, make our hearts steadfast on Your religion. The scale is in the hand of the Most Merciful, He lowers it and raises it."
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ مَا مِنْ قَلْبٍ إِلَّا وَهُوَ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ إِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُقِيمَهُ أَقَامَهُ وَإِنْ شَاءَ أَنْ يُزِيغَهُ أَزَاغَهُ وَكَانَ يَقُولُ يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قُلُوبَنَا عَلَى دِينِكَ وَالْمِيزَانُ بِيَدِ الرَّحْمَنِ يَخْفِضُهُ وَيَرْفَعُهُ
I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about virtue and vice. He said: Virtue is a kind disposition and vice is what rankles in your heart and that you disapprove that people should come to know of it. (Using translation from Muslim 2553a)
سَأَلْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فَقَالَ الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي صَدْرِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ
I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about virtue and vice. He said: Virtue is a kind disposition and vice is what rankles in your heart and that you disapprove that people should come to know of it. (Using translation from Muslim 2553a)
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فَقَالَ الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَعْلَمَهُ النَّاسُ
I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about virtue and vice. He said: Virtue is a kind disposition and vice is what rankles in your heart and that you disapprove that people should come to know of it. (Using translation from Muslim 2553a)
أَنَّهُ سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فَقَالَ الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَاكَ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ النَّاسُ عَلَيْهِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah has presented an example of a straight path with two walls on its sides, containing open doors. On these doors, there are curtains hung. At the entrance of this path, there is a caller saying, 'O people, enter the path all together, and do not deviate.' There is also another caller from above the path, and whenever he wants to open one of those doors, he says: 'Woe to you, do not open it, for if you open it, you will enter it.' The path is Islam, the walls are the limits set by Allah, the open doors are the lawful things allowed by Allah, and the caller at the entrance of the path is the Quran. The caller from above the path is Allah's admonition in the heart of every Muslim."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ ضَرَبَ اللهُ مَثَلًا صِرَاطًا مُسْتَقِيمًا وَعَلَى جَنْبَتَيْ الصِّرَاطِ سُورَانِ فِيهِمَا أَبْوَابٌ مُفَتَّحَةٌ وَعَلَى الْأَبْوَابِ سُتُورٌ مُرْخَاةٌ وَعَلَى بَابِالصِّرَاطِ دَاعٍ يَقُولُ أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ ادْخُلُوا الصِّرَاطَ جَمِيعًا وَلَا تَتَعَرَّجُوا وَدَاعٍ يَدْعُو مِنْ فَوْقِ الصِّرَاطِ فَإِذَا أَرَادَ يَفْتَحُ شَيْئًا مِنْ تِلْكَ الْأَبْوَابِ قَالَ وَيْحَكَ لَا تَفْتَحْهُ فَإِنَّكَ إِنْ تَفْتَحْهُ تَلِجْهُ وَالصِّرَاطُ الْإِسْلَامُ وَالسُّورَانِ حُدُودُ اللهِ وَالْأَبْوَابُ الْمُفَتَّحَةُ مَحَارِمُ اللهِ وَذَلِكَ الدَّاعِي عَلَى رَأْسِ الصِّرَاطِ كِتَابُ اللهِ وَالدَّاعِي مِنِ فَوْقَ الصِّرَاطِ وَاعِظُ اللهِ فِي قَلْبِ كُلِّ مُسْلِمٍ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: It is great treachery that you should tell your brother something and have him believe you when you are lying. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4971)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَبُرَتْ خِيَانَةً تُحَدِّثُ أَخَاكَ حَدِيثًا هُوَ لَكَ مُصَدِّقٌ وَأَنْتَ بِهِ كَاذِبٌ
that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah has made a parable of the straight path: At the sides of the path there are walls with open doors, each door having a curtain. There is a caller at the head of the path calling, and a caller above it calling. And Allah invites to the abode of peace and guides whomever He wills to the straight path. The doors which are on the sides of the path are the Hudud (legal limitations) of Allah; no one breaches the Hudud of Allah except that curtain is lifted, and the one calling from above it is his Lord." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2859)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَّ اللهَ ضَرَبَ مَثَلًا صِرَاطًا مُسْتَقِيمًا عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الصِّرَاطِ سُورَانِ فِيهِمَا أَبْوَابٌ مُفَتَّحَةٌ وَعَلَى الْأَبْوَابِ سُتُورٌ وَدَاعٍ يَدْعُو عَلَى رَأْسِ الصِّرَاطِ وَدَاعٍ يَدْعُو مِنْ فَوْقِهِ وَاللهُ يَدْعُو إِلَى دَارِ السَّلَامِ وَيَهْدِي مَنْ يَشَاءُ إِلَى صِرَاطٍ مُسْتَقِيمٍ فَالْأَبْوَابُ الَّتِي عَلَى كَتِفَيِ الصِّرَاطِ حُدُودُ اللهِ لَا يَقَعُ أَحَدٌ فِي حُدُودِ اللهِ حَتَّى يُكْشَفَسِتْرُ اللهِ وَالَّذِي يَدْعُو مِنْ فَوْقِهِ وَاعِظُ اللهِ
On the Day of Resurrection the Qur'an and those who acted according to it will be brought with Surah al-Baqara and AI 'Imran preceding them. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ likened them to three things, which I did not forget afterwards. He (the Holy Prophet) likened them to two clouds, or two black canopies with light between them, or like two flocks of birds in ranks pleading for one who recited them. (Using translation from Muslim 805)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يُؤْتَى بِالْقُرْآنِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَأَهْلِهِ الَّذِينَ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ بِهِ تَقَدَّمُهُمْ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ وَآلِ عِمْرَانَ وَضَرَبَ لَهُمَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ثَلَاثَةَ أَمْثَالٍ مَا نَسِيتُهُنَّ بَعْدُ قَالَ كَأَنَّهُمَا غَمَامَتَانِ أَوْ ظُلَّتَانِ سَوْدَاوَانِ بَيْنَهُمَا شَرْقٌ أَوْ كَأَنَّهُمَا فِرْقَانِ مِنْ طَيْرٍصَوَافَّ يُحَاجَّانِ عَنْ صَاحِبِهِمَا
