[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever dies without having an imam (leader), dies the death of ignorance."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ مَاتَ وَلَيْسَ لَهُ إِمَامٌ مَاتَ مَيْتَةً جَاهِلِيَّةً»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Religion is sincerity (An-Nasihah).' They said: 'To whom, O Messenger of Allah? He said: 'To Allah, to His Book, to His Messenger, to the imams of the Muslims and to their common folk"' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4198)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ قَالُوا لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ»  

[Machine] Then I met Suhail and said to him, "Have you heard a narration from 'Amr about Al-Qa'qa' from your father?" He replied, "I heard it from the one who heard it from my father, who said he heard it from Abu Sidiq, to Abu, who used to come from Sham, known as 'Ata' bin Yazid Al-Laythi. He reported that Tamim Al-Dari heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Verily, religion is advice.' They then asked, 'To whom, O Messenger of Allah?' He replied, 'To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, and the leaders of the Muslims and the general public.'"  

ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ سُهَيْلًا فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَرَأَيْتَ حَدِيثًا كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ عَمْرٌو عَنِ الْقَعْقَاعِ عَنْ أَبِيكِ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ أَبِيكِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنَ الَّذِي سَمِعَهُ مِنْهُ أَبِي صِدِّيقٍ لِأَبِي كَانَ يَأْتِي مِنَ الشَّامِ يُقَالُ لَهُ عَطَاءُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيُّ سَمِعْتُهُ أَخْبَرَ ذَلِكَ عَنْ تَمِيمٍ الدَّارِيِّ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ أَلَا إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ أَلَا إِنَّ الدِّينَ النَّصِيحَةُ» قَالُوا لِمَنْ يَا رَسُولَ؟ قَالَ «لِلَّهِ وَلِكِتَابِهِ وَلِرَسُولِهِ وَلِأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood before us as I am standing before you, and said: ʿI urge you to show respect to my Companions, then those who come after them, then those who come after them, then lying will become so widespread that a man will start to give testimony before he is asked to do so.Whoever among you wants to attain a spacious abode in Paradise, let him adhere to the jama'ah (main body of Muslims), for the Shaitan is with the one who is alone, but he is further away from two. And no one of you should be alone with a woman for the Shaitan will be the third one present. The one who is pleased with his good deeds and upset by his bad deeds is a believer.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 114)   

قَامَ فِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مُقَامِي فِيكُمُ الْيَوْمَ فَقَالَ «أَلَا أَحْسِنُوا إِلَى أَصْحَابِي ثُمَّ الَّذِينَ يَلُونَهُمْ ثُمَّ يَفْشُو الْكَذِبُ حَتَّى يَشْهَدَ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الشَّهَادَةِ لَا يُسْأَلُهَا وَيَحْلِفُ الرَّجُلُ عَلَى الْيَمِينِ لَا يُسْأَلُهَا فَمَنْ أَرَادَ مِنْكُمْ بُحْبُوحَةَ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَلْزَمِ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ الْوَاحِدِ وَهُوَ مِنَ الِاثْنَيْنِ أَبْعَدُ وَلَا يَخْلَوَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِامْرَأَةٍ فَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ ثَالِثُهُمَا وَمَنْ سَاءَتْهُ سَيِّئَتُهُ وَسَرَّتْهُ حَسَنَتُهُ فَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ»  

"I saw the Prophet [SAW] on the Minbar addressing the people. He said: 'After me there will be many calamities and much evil behavior. Whoever you see splitting away from the Jama'ah or trying to create division among the Ummah of Muhammad [SAW], then kill him, for the Hand of Allah is with the Jama'ah, and the Shaitan is with the one who splits away from the Ummah, running with him.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4020)   

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَيَكُونُ بَعْدِي هَنَاتٌ وَهَنَاتٌ فَمَنْ رَأَيْتُمُوهُ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةِ أَوْ يُرِيدُ أَنْ يُفَرِّقَ بَيْنَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ وَأَمْرُهُمْ جَمِيعٌ فَاقْتُلُوهُ كَائِنًا مَنْ كَانَ فَإِنَّ يَدَ اللَّهِ مَعَ الْجَمَاعَةِ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ مَعَ مَنْ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ يَرْتَكِضُ»  

[Machine] "I did not come to sit, but rather I came to speak to you two words that I heard from the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. I heard the Messenger of Allahﷺ saying, 'Whoever withdraws his hand from obedience (to Allah), he will not have any proof (excuse) on the Day of Resurrection. And whoever dies while being separate from the congregation, then indeed he will die the death of ignorance.'"  

إِنِّي لَمْ آتِ لِأَجْلِسَ إِنَّمَا جِئْتُ لِأُكَلِّمَكَ كَلِمَتَيْنِ سَمِعْتُهُمَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ نَزَعَ يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَةٍ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ حُجَّةٌ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ مَاتَ مُفَارِقَ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّهُ يَمُوتُ مَوْتَةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah said, "Whoever is killed under a blind banner, their killing is the killing of ignorant people."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ «مَنْ قُتِلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عِمِّيَّةٍ فَقَتْلُهُ قِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ»  

One who defected from obedience (to the Amir) and separated from the main body of the Muslims - if he died in that state-would die the death of one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya (i.e. would not die as a Muslim). One who fights under the banner of a people who are blind (to the cause for which they are fighting, i.e. do not know whether their cause is just or otherwise), who gets flared up with family pride, calls (people) to fight for their family honour, and supports his kith and kin (i.e. fights not for the cause of Allah but for the sake of this family or tribe) - if he is killed (in this fight), he dies as one belonging to the days of Jahiliyya. Whoso attacks my Ummah (indiscriminately) killing the righteous and the wicked of them, sparing not (even) those staunch in faith and fulfilling not his promise made with those who have been given a pledge of security - he has nothing to do with me and I have nothing to do with him. (Using translation from Muslim 1848a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الطَّاعَةِ وَفَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ فَمَاتَ فَمِيتَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ وَمَنْ خَرَجَ عَلَى أُمَّتِي يَضْرِبُ بَرَّهَا وَفَاجِرَهَا لَا يَتَحَاشَى مِنْ مُؤْمِنِهَا وَلَا يَفِي بِذِي عَهْدِهَا فَقِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ وَمَنْ قَاتَلَ تَحْتَ رَايَةٍ عِمِّيَّةٍ يُقَاتِلُ لِعَصَبَةٍ أَوْ يَغْضَبُ لِعَصَبَةٍ فَقَتْلُهُ قِتْلَةٌ جَاهِلِيَّةٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I have rights upon the Quraysh, and the Quraysh have rights upon you. As long as they judge with justice, fulfill their trust, and show mercy, then fulfill your obligations towards them and show mercy to them. But whoever does not do so, then upon him is the curse of Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِي عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِقُرَيْشٍ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقًّا مَا حَكَمُوا وَعَدَلُوا وَائْتُمِنُوا فَأَدُّوا وَاسْتُرْحِمُوا فَرَحِمُوا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] Abu Talhah used to throw his arrows in front of the Prophet ﷺ and the Prophet ﷺ would raise his head from behind to see where it would land. Abu Talhah would extend his chest to protect the Prophet ﷺ and would say, "O Prophet of Allah, may Allah sacrifice my life for your sake, not a hair of yours."  

أَنَّ أَبَا طَلْحَةَ كَانَ يَرْمِي بَيْنَ يَدَيْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَرْفَعُ رَأْسَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ لَيَنْظُرَ أَيْنَ يَقَعُ نَبْلُهُ فَيَتَطَاوَلُ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ بِصَدْرِهِ يَتَّقِي بِهِ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ هَكَذَا يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ نَحْرِي دُونَ نَحْرِكَ  

[Machine] "He stood at the head of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with a sword, while he was masked and holding a protective rope. He said, 'So, Uruwah began to handle the beard of the Prophet ﷺ and speak to him.' Then, Mugheerah said to Uruwah, 'Either you remove your hand from his beard or I will harm you.' Uruwah asked, 'Who is this?' They said, 'This is the son of your brother, Mugheerah bin Shu'bah.' Uruwah said, 'O, you betrayer, did you not cleanse yourself from your treachery before?'  

«أَنَّهُ كَانَ قَائِمًا عَلَى رَأْسِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالسَّيْفِ وَهُوَ مُلَثَّمٌ وَعِنْدَهُ عُرْوَةُ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ عُرْوَةُ يَتَنَاوَلُ لِحْيَةَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَيُحَدِّثُهُ قَالَ فَقَالَ الْمُغِيرَةُ لِعُرْوَةَ لَتَكُفَّنَّ يَدَكَ عَنْ لِحْيَتِهِ أَوْ لَا تَرْجِعُ إِلَيْكَ» قَالَ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ مَنْ هَذَا؟ قَالَ هَذَا ابْنُ أَخِيكَ الْمُغِيرَةُ بْنُ شُعْبَةَ فَقَالَ عُرْوَةُ يَا غُدَرُ مَا غَسَلْتَ رَأْسَكَ مِنْ غَدْرَتِكَ بَعْدُ «  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who said, "I have a right over the Quraysh, and the Quraysh have a right over you. Whatever they judge, accept it with justice. Trust them with what they entrusted you, fulfill your obligations, and show mercy to them, and they will show mercy to you."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ لِي عَلَى قُرَيْشٍ حَقًّا وَإِنَّ لِقُرَيْشٍ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقًّا مَا حَكَمُوا فَعَدَلُوا وَائْتُمِنُوا فَأَدُّوا وَاسْتُرْحِمُوا فَرَحِمُوا»  

[Machine] I have one of the two in this world and everything in it; one from the Najashi and the other from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . As for what I heard from the Najashi, we were with him when his son, who was from the People of the Book, came to him and presented his tablet. I understood some of their conversation, then there was a verse that made me laugh, so he asked me, "What made you laugh?" By the One in whose hand is my soul, a revelation from the One on the Throne would have been sent if Jesus, son of Mary, had said: "The curse is on the earth when the rule belongs to children." And what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , I heard him saying, "Listen to what Quraysh says and leave their actions."  

أَنْ لِي بِوَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُمَا الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا إِحْدَاهُمَا مِنَ النَّجَاشِيِّ وَالْأُخْرَى مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَمَّا الَّتِي سَمِعْتُهَا مِنَ النَّجَاشِيِّ فَإِنَّا كُنَّا عِنْدَهُ إِذْ جَاءَهُ ابْنٌ لَهُ مِنَ الْكُتَّابِ فَعَرَضَ لَوْحَهُ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ أَفْهَمُ بَعْضَ كَلَامِهِمْ فَمَرَّ بِآيَةٍ فَضَحِكْتُ فَقَالَ مَا الَّذِي أَضْحَكَكَ؟ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَأُنْزِلَتْ مِنْ عِنْدَ ذِي الْعَرْشِ إِنَّ عِيسَى ابْنَ مَرْيَمَ قَالَ إِنَّ اللَّعْنَةَ تَكُونُ فِي الْأَرْضِ إِذَا كَانَتْ إِمَارَةُ الصِّبْيَانِ وَالَّذِي سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «اسْمَعُوا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَدَعُوا فِعْلَهُمْ»  

[Machine] The messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will come upon you rulers who will bring the worst of people close to you and delay the prayer from its appointed time. Whoever among you witnesses that should not be an informer, a police officer, a courier, or a treasurer."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيَأْتِيَنَّ عَلَيْكُمْ أُمَرَاءُ يُقَرِّبُونَ شِرَارَ النَّاسِ وَيُؤَخِّرُونَ الصَّلَاةَ عَنْ مَوَاقِيتِهَا فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلَا يَكُونَنَّ عَرِيفًا وَلَا شُرْطِيًا وَلَا جَابِيًا وَلَا خَازِنًا»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "Soon others will be preferred to you, and there will be things which you will not like." The companions of the Prophet ﷺ asked, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What do you order us to do (in this case)? " He said, "(I order you) to give the rights that are on you and to ask your rights from Allah." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3603)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهَا سَتَكُونُ أَثَرَةٌ وَأُمُورٌ تُنْكِرُونَهَا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ «تُؤَدُّونَ الْحَقَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْكُمْ وَتَسْأَلُونَ الَّذِي لَكُمْ»  

“Whoever bears weapons against us is not one of us.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2575)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْنَا السِّلَاحَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»  

The best of your rulers are those whom you love and who love you, who invoke God's blessings upon you and you invoke His blessings upon them. And the worst of your rulers are those whom you hate and who hate you and whom you curse and who curse you. It was asked (by those present): Shouldn't we overthrow them with the help of the sword? He said: No, as long as they establish prayer among you. If you then find anything detestable in them. You should hate their administration, but do not withdraw yourselves from their obedience. (Using translation from Muslim 1855a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خِيَارُكُمْ وَخِيَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُحِبُّونَهُمْ وَيُحِبُّونَكُمْ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْكُمْ وَتُصَلُّونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَشِرَارُكُمْ وَشِرَارُ أَئِمَّتِكُمُ الَّذِينَ تُبْغِضُونَهُمْ وَيُبْغِضُونَكُمْ وَتَلْعَنُونَهُمْ وَيَلْعَنُونَكُمْ» قِيلَ أَفَلَا نُنَابِذُهُمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «لَا مَا أَقَامُوا الصَّلَوَاتِ الْخَمْسَ أَلَا وَمَنْ لَهُ وَالٍ فَيَرَاهُ يَأْتِي شَيْئًا مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ فَلْيَكْرَهْ مَا يَأْتِي مِنْ مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ وَلَا يَنْزِعْ يَدًا مِنْ طَاعَتِهِ»  

“Whoever bears weapons against us is not one of us.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2575)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ حَمَلَ عَلَيْنَا السِّلَاحَ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»  

[Machine] I was at the pulpit of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ when a man said, "I don't mind doing any deed after embracing Islam except for rebuilding the Masjid al-Haram." Another person said, "The last Jihad in the cause of Allah is better than what you said." So Allah revealed, "Do you make the providing of drinking water to the pilgrims and the maintenance of al-Masjid al-Haram equal to someone who believes in Allah and the Last Day and strives in the cause of Allah? They are not equal in the sight of Allah. And Allah does not guide the wrongdoing people."  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ مِنْبَرِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا أُبَالِي أَنْ أَعْمَلَ عَمَلًا بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ إِلَّا أَعْمُرُ الْمَسْجِدَ الْحَرَامَ وَقَالَ آخَرُ الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَفْضَلُ مِمَّا قُلْتُمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ «{أَجَعَلْتُمْ سِقَايَةَ الْحَاجِّ وَعِمَارَةَ الْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ كَمَنْ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ لَا يَسْتَوونَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ لَا يَهْدِي الْقَوْمَ الظَّالِمِينَ} » *  

[Machine] The translation of the given sentence is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'There is no migration after the conquest, but there is jihad and intention.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا هِجْرَةَ بَعْدَ الْفَتْحِ وَلَكِنْ جِهَادٌ وَنِيَّةٌ»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'the Shaitan sits in the paths of the son of Adam. He sits waiting for him, in the path to Islam, and he says: Will you accept Islam, and leave your religion, and the religion of your forefathers? But he disobeys him and accepts Islam. Then he sits waiting for him, on the path to emigration, and he says: Will you emigrate and leave behind your land and sky? The one who emigrates is like a horse tethered to a peg. But he disobeys him and emigrates. Then he sits, waiting for him, on the path to Jihad, and he says: Will you fight in Jihad when it will cost you your life and your wealth? You will fight and be killed, and your wife will remarry, and your wealth will be divided. But he disobeys him and fights in Jihad.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever does that, then he had a right from Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, that He will admit him to paradise. Whoever is killed, he has a right from Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, that He will admit him to Paradise. If he is drowned, he has a right from Allah that He will admit him to paradise, or whoever is thrown by his mount and his neck is broken, he had a right from Allah that he will admit him to Paradise.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3134)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ قَعَدَ لِابْنِ آدَمَ بِطَرِيقِ الْإِسْلَامِ فَقَالَ لَهُ تَسْلَمُ وَتَذَرُ دِينَكَ وَدِينَ آبَائِكَ فَعَصَاهُ فَأَسْلَمَ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ فَقَعَدَ لَهُ بِطَرِيقِ الْهِجْرَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ تُهَاجِرُ وَتَذَرُ أَرْضَكَ وَسَمَاءَكَ فَعَصَاهُ فَهَاجَرَ فَقَعَدَ لَهُ بِطَرِيقِ الْجِهَادِ فَقَالَ لَهُ تُجَاهِدُ وَهُوَ جَهْدُ النَّفْسِ وَالْمَالِ فَتُقَاتِلُ فَتَقْتُلُ فَتُنْكَحُ الْمَرْأَةُ وَيُقْسَمُ الْمَالُ فَعَصَاهُ فَجَاهِدَ» فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَمَاتَ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ قُتِلَ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَإِنْ غَرِقَ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ وَقَصَتْهُ دَابَّةٌ كَانَ حَقًّا عَلَى اللَّهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»  

[Machine] I sat among a group of the companions of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and I asked them, "Which of you goes to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and asks him, 'Which deeds are most beloved to Allah?' They suggested that it would be better if one of us asked him. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sent for us and appointed a man among us to lead us. When we gathered around him, some of us leaned towards each other, wondering why the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had sent for us. We were afraid that something might have happened to us. Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited to us the verse, "Glorify Allah, whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on the earth, and He is the Almighty, the All-Wise. O you who have believed, why do you say what you do not do?" He recited from the beginning to the end of the chapter, then he recited from the beginning to the end of the chapter of Yahya, and then he recited from the beginning to the end of the chapter of Al-Awza'i, and then Al-Walid recited from the beginning to the end of the chapter.  

جَلَسْتُ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ أَيُّكُمْ يَأْتِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَيَسْأَلَهُ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَحَبُّ إِلَى اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ فَهِبْنَا أَنْ يَسْأَلَهُ مِنَّا أَحَدٌ قَالَ فَأَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُفْرِدُنا رَجُلًا رَجُلًا يَتَخَطَّى غَيْرَنَا فَلَمَّا اجْتَمَعْنَا عِنْدَهُ أَوْمَأَ بَعْضُنَا إِلَى بَعْضٍ لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ أَرْسَلَ إِلَيْنَا؟ فَفَزِعْنَا أَنْ يَكُونَ نَزَلَ فِينَا قَالَ «فَقَرَأَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ {سَبَّحَ لِلَّهِ مَا فِي السَّمَوَاتِ وَمَا فِي الْأَرْضِ وَهُوَ الْعَزِيزُ الْحَكِيمُ يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا لِمَ تَقُولُونَ مَا لَا تَفْعَلُونَ} قَالَ فَقَرَأَ مِنْ فَاتِحَتِهَا إِلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ يَحْيَى مِنْ فَاتِحَتِها إِلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا ثُمَّ قَرَأَ الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ مِنْ فَاتِحَتِهَا إِلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا وَقَرَأَهَا الْوَلِيدُ مِنْ فَاتِحَتِهَا إِلَى خَاتِمَتِهَا  

[Machine] "While we were with the Messenger of Allah, we heard people asking him, 'Which deeds are the best, O Messenger of Allah?' The Messenger of Allahﷺ replied, 'Belief in Allah and His Messenger, striving in His cause, and performing an accepted Hajj.' Then, he heard a call in the valley saying, 'I bear witness that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him.' The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, 'And I bear witness, and no one bears witness with it except that they are saved from association (polytheism).'"  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَ سَمِعَ الْقَوْمَ وَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ أَيُّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ وَحَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ» ثُمَّ سَمِعَ نِدَاءً فِي الْوَادِي يَقُولُ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَأَنَا أَشْهَدُ وَأَشْهَدُ لَا يَشْهَدُ بِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا بَرِئَ مِنَ الشِّرْكِ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which action is best?" He said, "Faith in Allah and striving in His cause." I asked, "Which slaves are better?" He said, "The ones who are most valuable to their masters and have the highest prices." I said, "But if I am not able to do so?" He said, "Then help a worker or make something for someone lame." I said, "And if I am weak in that?" He said, "Then refrain from evil, for it is a charity that you give to yourself."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيُّ الرِّقَابِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «أَنْفَسُهَا عِنْدَ أَهْلِهَا وَأَغْلَاهَا ثَمَنًا» قَالَ فَإِنْ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ قَالَ «تُعِينُ صَانِعًا أَوْ تَصْنَعُ لِأَخْرَقَ» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ ضَعُفْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ قَالَ «فَدَعِ الشَّرَّ فَإِنَّهَا صَدَقَةٌ تَصَدَّقُ بِهَا عَلَى نَفْسِكَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The best deeds in the sight of Allah are the ones that are performed with unshakable faith, without any deceit in fighting, and a Hajj that is accepted." Abu Hurairah said: "An accepted Hajj will erase sins committed during one year."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَفْضَلُ الْأَعْمَالِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِيمَانٌ لَا شَكَّ فِيهِ وَغَزْوٌ لَا غُلُولَ فِيهِ وَحَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ» قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «حَجَّةٌ مَبْرُورَةٌ تُكَفِّرُ الْخَطَايَا سَنَةً»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked: 'Which deed is the most virtuos ? And which deed is the best ?' He ﷺ said: 'Faith in Allah and His Messenger.' It was said: 'Then what ?' He said: 'Jihad is the hump (the most prominent) of the deeds.' Then what O Messenger of Allah ? He said: 'Then Hajj Mabrur.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1658)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ سُئِلَ أَيَّ الْأَعْمَالِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ سَنَامُ الْعَمَلِ» قَالَ ثُمَّ أَيُّ؟ قَالَ «حَجٌّ مَبْرُورٌ»  

“Which of the people is best?” He said: “A man who strives in Jihad in the cause of Allah with himself and his wealth.” He said: “Then who?” He said: “A man in a mountain pass who worships Allah and leaves the people from his evil.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3978)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «رَجُلٌ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِمَالِهِ وَنَفْسِهِ ثُمَّ مُؤْمِنٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنَ الشِّعَابِ يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ مِنْ شَرِّهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will come a time upon people when the best of people will be someone who takes hold of his horse's reins in the cause of Allah. Every time he hears the call to battle, he mounts his horse and seeks death as his goal. And there will be a man in a valley among these valleys who offers the Islamic prayers and gives charity, but does not harm others except for his own goodness."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَأْتِي عَلَى النَّاسِ زَمَانٌ يَكُونُ خَيْرُ النَّاسِ فِيهِ مَنْزِلَةً رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كُلَّمَا سَمِعَ بِهَيْعَةٍ اسْتَوَى عَلَى مَتْنِهِ ثُمَّ طَلَبَ الْمَوْتَ مَظَانَّهُ وَرَجُلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ مِنْ هَذِهِ الشِّعَابِ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَيَدَعُ النَّاسَ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرِهِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came across a man wearing a mask made of iron. The man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, should I fight or should I embrace Islam?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Embrace Islam first, then fight." The man embraced Islam and later engaged in battle and was killed. The Prophet ﷺ said, "This person did little but will receive a great reward."  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مُقَنَّعٌ فِي الْحَدِيدِ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أُقَاتِلُ أَوْ أُسْلِمُ؟ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَسْلِمْ ثُمَّ قَاتِلْ» فَأَسْلَمَ ثُمَّ قَاتِلْ فَقُتِلَ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «هَذَا عَمِلَ قَلِيلًا وَأُجِرَ كَثِيرًا»  

Leaving (for Jihad) in the way of Allah in the morning or in the evening (will merit a reward) better than the world and all that is in it. (Using translation from Muslim 1880)  

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

[Machine] "He was in a trip, so they hurried to the coast. Then it was said 'there is no harm'. So the people dispersed, except for Abu Hurairah who stood still. Then a man passed by him and said, 'What is stopping you, Abu Hurairah?' He replied, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Standing in the cause of Allah for an hour is better than praying the Night of Decree (Laylat al-Qadr) at the Kaaba.'"  

أَنَّهُ كَانَ فِي الرِّبَاطِ فَفَزِعُوا إِلَى السَّاحِلِ ثُمَّ قِيلَ لَا بَأْسَ فَانْصَرَفَ النَّاسُ وَأَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ وَاقِفٌ فَمَرَّ بِهِ إِنْسَانٌ فَقَالَ مَا يُوقِفُكَ يَا أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَوْقِفُ سَاعَةٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ قِيَامِ لَيْلَةِ الْقَدْرِ عِنْدَ الْحَجَرِ الْأَسْوَدِ»  

[Machine] He has a horse, O Abu Abdullah, ride it, for Allah has burdened you. Jabir said, "I will fix my ride and be independent of my people." I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Whoever raises his feet for the sake of Allah, Allah will forbid the Fire upon him." Malik found his words astonishing, so he went until he reached the place where his voice could be heard. He called out to him in a loud voice, "O Abu Abdullah, ride it, for Allah has burdened you." Jabir recognized the intention behind raising his voice and said, "I will fix my ride and be independent of my people." I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying, "Whoever raises his feet for the sake of Allah, Allah will forbid the Fire upon him." So people jumped off their animals and we did not see a day with more people walking than him.  

لَهُ مَالِكٌ أَيْ أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ارْكَبْ فَقَدْ حَمَلَكَ اللَّهُ فَقَالَ جَابِرٌ أُصْلِحُ دَابَّتِي وَأَسْتَغْنِي عَنْ قَوْمِي وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنِ اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ» فَأَعْجَبَ مَالِكًا قَوْلُهُ فَسَارَ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانَ حَيْثُ يُسْمِعُهُ الصَّوْتَ نَادَاهُ بِأَعْلَى صَوْتِهِ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ارْكَبْ فَقَدْ حَمَلَكَ اللَّهُ فَعَرَفَ جَابِرٌ الَّذِي أَرَادَ بِرَفْعِ صَوْتِهِ وَقَالَ أُصْلِحُ دَابَّتِي وَأَسْتَغْنِي عَنْ قَوْمِي وَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنِ اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ» فَوَثَبَ النَّاسُ عَنْ دَوَابِّهِمْ فَمَا رَأَيْنَا يَوْمًا أَكْثَرَ مَاشِيًا مِنْهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whosoever dirties his feet in the path of Allah, Allah has made forbidden for the Fire to touch them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنِ اغْبَرَّتْ قَدَمَاهُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَهُمَا اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "In the heart of a believer, dust from the path of Allah and the fragrance of Hellfire cannot coexist, and faith and envy cannot coexist."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَجْتَمِعُ فِي جَوْفِ عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ غُبَارٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَفَيْحُ جَهَنَّمَ وَلَا يَجْتَمِعُ فِي جَوْفِ عَبْدٍ الْإِيمَانُ وَالْحَسَدُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The smoke of Hellfire and dust on the path of Allah do not combine in the respiratory system of a Muslim."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَجْتَمِعُ دُخَانُ جَهَنَّمَ وَغُبَارٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فِي مَنْخَرَيْ مُسْلِمٍ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ slept near me one day, then he woke up smiling. I said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, what has made you smile?’ He said: ‘People of my nation who were shown to me (in my dream) riding across this sea like kings on thrones.’ I said: ‘Supplicate to Allah to make me one of them.’” So he prayed for her. Then he slept again, and did likewise, and she said the same as she said before, and he replied in the same manner. She said: “Pray to Allah to make me one of them,” and he said: “You will be one of the first ones.” He said: “Then she went out with her husband, ‘Ubadah bin Samit, as a fighter, the first time that the Muslims crossed the sea with Mu’awiyah bin Abu Sufyan. On their way back, after they had finished fighting, they stopped in Sham. An animal was brought near for her to ride it, but it threw her off, and she died.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2776)  

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ نَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا قَرِيبًا مِنِّي ثُمَّ اسْتَيْقَظَ يَتَبَسَّمُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا أَضْحَكَكَ؟ قَالَ «نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عُرِضُوا عَلَيَّ يَرْكَبُونَ ظَهْرَ هَذَا الْبَحْرِ الْأَخْضَرِ كَالْمُلُوكِ عَلَى الْأَسِرَّةِ» قَالَتْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ فَدَعَا لَهَا ثُمَّ نَامَ الثَّانِيَةَ فَفَعَلَ مِثْلَهَا فَقَالَتْ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهَا فَأَجَابَهَا مِثْلَ قَوْلِهَا الْأَوَّلِ قَالَتْ فَادْعُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَجْعَلَنِي مِنْهُمْ قَالَ «أَنْتِ مِنَ الْأَوَّلِينَ» فَخَرَجَتْ مَعَ زَوْجِهَا عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ غَازِيَةً أَوَّلَ مَا رَكِبَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ الْبَحْرَ مَعَ مُعَاوِيَةَ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا مِنْ غَزَاتِهِمْ قَرَّبَ إِلَيْهَا دَابَّتِهَا لِتَرْكَبَهَا فَصُرِعَتْ فَمَاتَتْ  

[Machine] "O people, I have heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ a hadith that I used to hide from you, thinking that you may not be ready for it. But now, I feel it is my duty to share it as a piece of advice for the sake of Allah and for your benefit. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'A day spent in the path of Allah is better than a thousand days spent elsewhere. Therefore, let each one of you look after their own self.'"  

عُثْمَانُ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْخَيْفِ بِمِنًى أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَدِيثًا كُنْتُ كَتَمْتُكُمُوهُ ضَنًّا بِكُمْ وَقَدْ بَدَا لِي أَنْ أُبْدِيَهُ نَصِيحَةً لِلَّهِ وَلَكُمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَوْمٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ خَيْرٌ مِنْ أَلْفِ يَوْمٍ فِيمَا سِوَاهُ فَلْيَنْظُرْ كُلُّ امْرِئٍ مِنْكُمْ لِنَفْسِهِ»  

Allah has undertaken to provide for one who leaves his home (only) to fight for His cause and to affirm the truth of His word; Allah will either admit him to Paradise or will bring him back home from where he had come out, with his reward and booty. (Using translation from Muslim 1876c)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تَكَفَّلَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ لَا يُخْرِجُهُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ إِلَّا الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِهِ وَتَصْدِيقُ كَلِمَتِهِ أَنْ يُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ أَوْ يَرْجِعَهُ إِلَى مَسْكَنِهِ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْهُ مَعَ مَا نَالَ مِنْ أَجْرِ أَوْ غَنِيمَةٍ»  

[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: 'Verily, in Paradise there are one hundred levels which Allah has prepared for the Mujahideen in His cause. The distance between each level is like the distance between the heavens and the earth. So when you ask Allah, ask Him for Al-Firdaus, for it is the middle of Paradise and the highest part of Paradise. Above it is the Throne, and from it, the rivers of Paradise flow.'"  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ لِلْمُجَاهِدِينَ فِي سَبِيلِهِ بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ فَإِذَا سَأَلْتُمُ اللَّهَ فَاسْأَلُوهُ الْفِرْدَوْسَ فَهُوَ أَوْسَطُ الْجَنَّةِ وَهُوَ أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَفَوْقَهُ الْعَرْشُ وَمِنْهُ تَفَجَّرُ أَنْهَارُ الْجَنَّةِ»  

Abu Saʿid, whoever cheerfully accepts Allah as his Lord, Islam as his religion and Muhammad as his Apostle is necessarily entitled to enter Paradise. He (Abu Saʿid) wondered at it and said: Messenger of Allah, repeat it for me. He (the Messenger of Allah) did that and said: There is another act which elevates the position of a man in Paradise to a grade one hundred (higher), and the elevation between one grade and the other is equal to the height of the heaven from the earth. He (Abu Saʿid) said: What is that act? He replied: Jihad in the way of Allah! Jihad in the way of Allah! (Using translation from Muslim 1884)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ مَنْ رَضِيَ بِاللَّهِ رِبًا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دَينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ نَبِيًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ» فَعَجِبَ لَهَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَقَالَ أَعِدْهَا عَلَيَّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَفَعَلَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَأُخْرَى يُرْفَعُ بِهَا الْعَبْدُ مِائَةَ دَرَجَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ كُلِّ دَرَجَتَيْنِ كَمَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ» قَالَ وَمَا هِيَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «الْجِهَادُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ ﷻ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said, 'The warrior fighting in the cause of Allah, the pilgrim visiting the house of Allah, and the one who performs Umrah are all invited by Allah and they respond to His call.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْغَازِي فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَالْحَاجُّ إِلَى بَيْتِ اللَّهِ وَالْمُعْتَمِرُ وَفْدُ اللَّهِ دَعَاهُمْ فَأَجَابُوهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allahﷺ saying, "Whoever shoots an arrow in the way of Allah, it is as if he has freed a slave."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ رَمَى بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ رَقَبَةً»  

[Machine] We besieged Ta'if with the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him. I heard the Messenger of Allahﷺ saying, "Whoever participates with an arrow in the path of Allah, he will have a degree in Paradise." He said, "On that day, I participated with sixteen arrows."  

حَاصَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الطَّائِفَ فَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ بَلَغَ بِسَهْمٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ لَهُ دَرَجَةٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» قَالَ فَبَلَغَتْ يَوْمَئِذٍ سِتَّةَ عَشَرَ سَهْمًا  

[Machine] Narrated from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to be cautious: "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever reaches the enemy with an arrow, Allah will raise him in rank.' Abdullah bin Nahham asked him, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is the rank?' He replied, 'Certainly, it is not lower than your mother's threshold, which is a distance of one hundred years between two ranks.'"  

حَدِّثْنَا عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاحْذَرْ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ بَلَغَ الْعَدُوَّ بِسَهْمٍ رَفَعَ اللَّهُ بِهِ دَرَجَةً لَهُ» فَقَالَ لَهُ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ النَّحَّامِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا الدَّرَجَةُ؟ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهَا لَيْسَتْ بِعَتَبَةِ أُمِّكَ مَا بَيْنَ الدَّرَجَتَيْنِ مِائَةُ عَامٍ»  

Surely, the gates of Paradise are under the shadows of the swords. A man in a shabby condition got up and said; Abu Musa, did you hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say this? He said: Yes. (The narrator said): He returned to his friends and said: I greet you (a farewell greeting). Then he broke the sheath of his sword, threw it away, advanced with his (naked) sword towards the enemy and fought (them) with it until he was slain. (Using translation from Muslim 1902)   

سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ وَهُوَ بِحِصْنِ الْعَدُوِّ أَوْ بِحَضْرَةِ الْعَدُوِّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَبْوَابَ الْجَنَّةِ تَحْتَ ظِلَالِ السُّيُوفِ» فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ رَثَّ الْهَيْئَةِ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُوسَى أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُهُ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَجَاءَ إِلَى أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ «أَقْرَأُ عَلَيْكُمُ السَّلَامَ» ثُمَّ كَسَرَ جَفْنَ سَيْفِهِ فَأَلْقَاهُ ثُمَّ مَضَى بِسَيْفِهِ قُدُمَا فَضَرَبَ بِهِ حَتَّى قُتِلَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever fights in the cause of Allah, having faith, with perseverance, the reward of Paradise is guaranteed for him."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَاتَلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فُوَاقَ نَاقَةٍ وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'I am a Za'im - and the Za'im is the guarantor - for the one who believes in me and accepts Islam, and emigrates: A house on the outskirts of Paradise and a house in the middle of Paradise. And I am a guarantor, for the one who believes in me and accepts Islam, and strives in the cause of Allah: A house on the outskirts of Paradise and a house in the middle of Paradise and a house in the highest chambers of Paradise. Whoever does that and seeks goodness wherever it is, and avoids evil wherever it is, may die wherever he wants to die.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3133)  

عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مَالِكٍ الْجَنْبِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ فَضَالَةَ بْنَ عُبَيْدٍ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَنَا زَعِيمٌ وَالزَّعِيمُ الْحَمِيلُ لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَأَسْلَمَ وَهَاجَرَ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْتٍ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَنَا زَعِيمٌ لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَأَسْلَمَ وَجَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْتٍ فِي وَسَطِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبَيْتٍ فِي أَعْلَى غُرَفِ الْجَنَّةِ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ لَمْ يَدَعْ لِلْخَيْرِ مَطْلَبًا وَلَا مِنَ الشَّرِّ مَهْرَبًا يَمُوتُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ»  

[Machine] "Do not belittle the friendship of women, for if it were a valuable thing in this world or in the sight of Allah, then Muhammad ﷺ would be the most truthful person in terms of his women and daughters. And no woman from his women or daughters would exceed twelve ounces of it. And if you mention someone who was killed in your battles as a martyr, do not say that so-and-so died as a martyr, but say as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said or as Muhammad ﷺ said: 'Whoever is killed in the cause of Allah or died in the cause of Allah, he is in Paradise."  

أَلَا لَا تَغْلُوا صَدَاقَ النِّسَاءِ فَإِنَّهَا لَوْ كَانَتْ مَكْرُمَةً فِي الدُّنْيَا أَوْ تَقْوَى عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَكَانَ أَوْلَاكُمْ وَأَحَقُّكُمْ بِهَا مُحَمَّدًا ﷺ مَا أَصْدَقَ امْرَأَةً مِنْ نِسَائِهِ وَلَا امْرَأَةً مِنْ بَنَاتِهِ أَكْثَرَ مِنِ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ أُوقِيَّةً وَأُخْرَى تَقُولُونَهَا مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي مَغَازِيكُمْ مَاتَ فُلَانٌ شَهِيدًا فَلَا تَقُولُوا ذَاكَ وَلَكِنْ قُولُوا كَمَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ «مَنْ قُتِلَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ مَاتَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَهُوَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The example of the Mujahid (one who strives in the cause of Allah) is like the example of a fasting person who stands in prayer and does not break his fast until he returns."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الصَّائِمِ الْقَائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ مِنْ صِيَامٍ وَصَلَاةٍ حَتَّى يَرْجِعَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The example of the Mujahid (one who struggles in the way of Allah) is like the example of the one who observes voluntary prayer and fasting, without ever interrupting them, until Allah returns him to his family with what He returns him of spoils or rewards or causes him to die and enters him into Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَمَثَلِ الْقَانِتِ الصَّائِمِ الَّذِي لَا يَفْتُرُ صَلَاةً وَلَا صِيَامًا حَتَّى يَرْجِعَهُ اللَّهُ إِلَى أَهْلِهِ بِمَا يَرْجِعُهُ إِلَيْهِمْ مِنْ غَنِيمَةٍ أَوْ أَجْرٍ أَوْ يَتَوَفَّاهُ فَيُدْخِلُهُ الْجَنَّةَ»
