[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "Do not write anything about me except the Quran. Whoever writes anything about me, let him erase it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَكْتُبُوا عَنِّي إِلَّا الْقُرْآنَ فَمَنْ كَتَبَ عَنِّي شَيْئًا فَلْيَمْحُهُ»  

[Machine] "We left the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , and no bird flies with its wings except that we have knowledge about it."  

«تَرَكَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَا طَائِرٌ يَطِيرُ بِجَنَاحَيْهِ إِلَّا عِنْدَنَا مِنْهُ عِلْمٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah brighten the face of the individual who hears something from us and conveys it exactly as he heard it. There are times when the one who conveys something is more mindful of it than the one who hears it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَبَلَّغَهُ كَمَا سَمِعَهُ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up in Khaif in Mina, and said: ‘May Allah make his face shine, the man who hears my words and conveys them. It may be that the bearer of knowledge does not understand it, and it may be that he takes it to one who will understand it more than he does. There are three things in which the heart of the believer does not betray: sincerity of action for the sake of Allah, offering sincere advice to the rulers of the Muslims, and adhering to the Jama’ah (main body of the Muslims). Their supplication is answered (i.e. encompassing every good, and all of the people).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3056)   

عَنْ أَشْيَاءَ سَمِعْنَاهَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنِّي حَدِيثًا فَحَفِظَهُ حَتَّى يُبَلِّغَهُ غَيْرَهُ فَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَفْقَهُ مِنْهُ وَرُبَّ حَامِلِ فِقْهٍ لَيْسَ بِفَقِيهٍ ثَلَاثُ خِصَالٍ لَا يَغِلُّ عَلَيْهِنَّ قَلْبُ مُسْلِمٍ إِخْلَاصُ الْعَمَلِ لِلَّهِ وَمُنَاصَحَةُ أُلَاةِ الْأَمْرِ وَلُزُومُ الْجَمَاعَةِ فَإِنَّ دَعْوَتَهُمْ تُحِيطُ مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, 'May Allah have mercy on the one who hears a hadith from me and conveys it as he heard it, for perhaps the one who conveys it understands it better than the one who hears it.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مَنْ سَمِعَ مِنِّي حَدِيثًا فَبَلَّغَهُ كَمَا سَمِعَهُ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى لَهُ مِنْ سَامِعٍ»  

"I heard 'Abdur-Rahman bin 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud narrating from his father who said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: 'May Allah gladden a man who hears something from us, so he conveys it as he heard it. Perhaps the one it is conveyed to is more understanding than the one who heard it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2657)  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «نَضَّرَ اللَّهُ امْرَأً سَمِعَ مِنَّا حَدِيثًا فَبَلَّغَهُ كَمَا سَمِعَهُ فَرُبَّ مُبَلَّغٍ أَوْعَى مِنْ سَامِعٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The keys to the unseen are five: no one knows what a womb will bear except Allah, no one knows what will happen tomorrow except Allah, no one knows when it will rain except Allah, no soul knows in which land it will die, and no one knows when the Hour will occur."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَفَاتِيحُ الْغَيْبِ خَمْسٌ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَا تَضَعُ الْأَرْحَامُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَا فِي غَدٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَتَى يَأْتِي الْمَطَرُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَتَى تَقُومُ السَّاعَةَ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The keys of Unseen are five which none knows but Allah: None knows what will happen tomorrow but Allah; none knows what is in the wombs (a male child or a female) but Allah; none knows when it will rain but Allah; none knows at what place one will die; none knows when the Hour will be established but Allah." (See The Qur'an 31:34.") (Using translation from Bukhārī 4697)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَفَاتِيحُ الْغَيْبِ خَمْسٌ لَا يَعْلَمُهَا إِلَّا اللَّهُ لَا يَعْلَمُ مَا تَغِيضُ الْأَرْحَامُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا مَا فِي غَدٍ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَتَى يَأْتِي الْمَطَرُ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَا تَدْرِي نَفْسٌ بِأَيِّ أَرْضٍ تَمُوتُ وَلَا يَعْلَمُ مَتَى تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Verily, Allah dislikes every sneaky, cunning person in the markets, greedy at night and sluggish during the day, knowledgeable in worldly matters but ignorant of matters of the Hereafter."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُبْغِضُ كُلَّ جَعْظَرِيٍّ جَوَّاظٍ سَخَّابٍ بِالْأَسْوَاقِ جِيفَةٍ بِاللَّيْلِ حِمَارٍ بِالنَّهَارِ عَالِمٍ بِأَمْرِ الدُّنْيَا جَاهِلٍ بِأَمْرِ الْآخِرَةِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about this Ayah: 'It is He who sent down to you the Book. In it are Ayat that are entirely clear... (3:7)' until the end of the Ayah. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'When you see those who seek what is not entirely clear thereof, then it is they whom Allah has described, so beware of them.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2994)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ تَلَا قَوْلَ اللَّهِ {هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ} إِلَى آخِرِهَا فَقَالَ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الَّذِينَ يَتَّبِعُونَ مَا تَشَابَهَ مِنْهُ فَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّهُمُ الَّذِينَ عَنَى اللَّهُ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "The Quran was revealed with seven different modes of recitation, and differences in the Quran are disbelief three times. Whatever you are familiar with, act upon it, and whatever you are unaware of, refer it to those who possess knowledge."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ وَالْمِرَاءُ فِي الْقُرْآنِ كُفْرٌ ثَلَاثًا مَا عَرَفْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَاعْمَلُوا بِهِ وَمَا جَهِلْتُمْ مِنْهُ فَرُدُّوهُ إِلَى عَالِمِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Quran was revealed with seven different readings, and for each verse there is an apparent meaning and an implied meaning."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُنْزِلَ الْقُرْآنُ عَلَى سَبْعَةِ أَحْرُفٍ لِكُلِّ آيَةٍ مِنْهَا ظَهْرٌ وَبَطْنٌ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the following Verse: 'It is He Who has sent down to you (Muhammad) the Book (this Qur'an). In it are verses that are entirely clear, they are the foundations of the Book; and others not entirely clear (up to His saying: ) 'And none receive admonition except men of understanding.' Then he said: 'O 'Aishah, if you see those who dispute concerning it (the Qur'an), they are those whom Allah has referred to here, so beware of them.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 47)   

أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ قَرَأَ نَبِيُّ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَذِهِ الْآيَةَ {هُوَ الَّذِي أَنْزَلَ عَلَيْكَ الْكِتَابَ مِنْهُ آيَاتٌ مُحْكَمَاتٌ هُنَّ أُمُّ الْكِتَابِ وَأُخَرُ مُتَشَابِهَاتٌ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ {أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ} قَالَتْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الَّذِينَ يُجَادِلُونَ فِيهِ فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ عَنَى اللَّهُ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ» قَالَ مَطَرٌ حَفِظْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَا تُجَالِسُوهُمْ فَهُمُ الَّذِينَ عَنَى اللَّهُ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ»  

The Prophet said: "Do not seek knowledge in order to show off in front of the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, and do not choose the best seat in a gathering, due to it (i.e. the knowledge which you have learned) for whoever does that, the Fire, the Fire (awaits him)." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 254)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَعَلَّمُوا الْعِلْمَ لِتُبَاهُوا بِهِ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَلَا تُمَارُوا بِهِ السُّفَهَاءَ وَلَا تَخَيَّرُوا بِهِ الْمَجَالِسَ فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَالنَّارَ النَّارَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone acquires knowledge that should be sought seeking the Face of Allah, but he acquires it only to get some worldly advantage, he will not experience the arf, i.e. the fragrance, of Paradise. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3664)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَعَلَّمَ عِلْمًا مِمَّا يُبْتَغَى بِهِ وَجْهُ اللَّهِ لَا يَتَعَلَّمُهُ إِلَّا لَيُصِيبَ بِهِ عَرَضًا مِنَ الدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَجِدْ عَرْفَ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

Do not sit with those who believe in free will and do not address them before they address you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4720)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تُجَالِسُوا أَهْلَ الْقَدَرِ وَلَا تُفَاتِحُوهُمْ»  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "The thing I fear the most for you is the argumentation of the hypocrite with eloquent speech."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَخْوَفُ مَا أَخَافُ عَلَيْكُمْ جِدَالُ الْمُنَافِقِ عَلِيمِ اللِّسَانِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "What I fear for you the most is a man who has memorized the Quran, until his delight is seen on him and it becomes apparent that he is a supporter of Islam. Then he changes it to whatever Allah wills. He sheds it from himself and throws it behind his back, and he fights against his neighbor with the sword and accuses him of polytheism." I said, "O Prophet of Allah, who is more deserving of being accused of polytheism, the thrower or the one thrown at?" He said, "Rather, it is the one who throws."  

قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مَا أَتَخَوَّفُ عَلَيْكُمْ رَجُلٌ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ حَتَّى إِذَا رُئِيَتْ بَهْجَتُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ رِدْئًا لِلْإِسْلَامِ غَيَّرَهُ إِلَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ فَانْسَلَخَ مِنْهُ وَنَبَذَهُ وَرَاءَ ظَهْرِهِ وَسَعَى عَلَى جَارِهِ بِالسَّيْفِ وَرَمَاهُ بِالشِّرْكِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَيُّهُمَا أَوْلَى بِالشِّرْكِ الْمَرْمِيُّ أَمِ الرَّامِي؟ قَالَ «بَلِ الرَّامِي»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, "O Allah, I ask You for beneficial knowledge and seek refuge in You from knowledge that is of no benefit."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ عِلْمًا نَافِعًا وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ»  

[Machine] The translation of the provided sentence is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say: 'O Allah, I seek refuge in You from knowledge that does not benefit, from actions that are not raised, from a heart that is not humble, and from words that are not heard.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ عِلْمٍ لَا يَنْفَعُ وَعَمَلٍ لَا يُرْفَعُ وَقَلَبٍ لَا يَخْشَعُ وَقَوْلٍ لَا يُسْمَعُ»  

If anyone pursues a path in search of knowledge, Allah will thereby make easy for him a path to paradise; and he who is made slow by his actions will not be speeded by his genealogy. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3643)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَطْلُبُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا مِنْ طُرُقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ أَبْطَأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ»  

I went to Safwän bin 'Asal al-Murädi and he said: What brought you here?I said: I am seeking knowledge. He said: I heard the

Messenger of Allah say, “There is no one who goes out o f his house in order to seek knowledge except that the angels lower their wings in approval of his action.”  

أَتَيْتُ صَفْوَانَ بْنَ عَسَّالٍ الْمُرَادِيَّ قَالَ مَا جَاءَ بِكَ؟ قَالَ جِئْتُ أَنْبِطُ الْعِلْمَ قَالَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ خَارِجٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ يَطْلُبُ الْعِلْمَ إِلَّا وَضَعَتْ لَهُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًا بِمَا يَصْنَعُ»  

Abu Waqid al-Laith reported that Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting in the mosque along wish tome people when there came to him three persons; two of them stepped forward to the direction of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and one of them went away. The two stood by the side of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and one of them found a space in his circle and he sat in that; and the other one sat behind him and the third one went away. When Messenger of Allah ﷺ had finished his work, he said. Should I not inform you about these three persons? One of them sought refuge with Allah and Allah gave him refuge and the second one felt shy and Allah showed kindness to has shyness (and so he was accommodated in that meeting), and the last one reverted and Allah turned away His attention from him. (Using translation from Muslim 2176a)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بَيْنَمَا هُوَ جَالِسٌ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّاسُ مَعَهُ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ فَأَقْبَلَ اثْنَانِ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَذَهَبَ وَاحِدٌ فَلَمَّا وَقَفَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَلَّمَا فَأَمَّا أَحَدُهُمَا فَرَأَى فُرْجَةً فِي الْحَلْقَةِ فَجَلَسَ فِيهَا وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَجَلَسَ خَلْفَهُمْ وَأَمَّا الثَّالِثُ فَأَدْبَرَ ذَاهِبًا فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ عَنِ النَّفَرِ الثَّلَاثَةِ أَمَّا أَحَدُهُمْ فَأَوَى إِلَى اللَّهِ فَآوَاهُ اللَّهُ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَاسْتَحْيَى فَاسْتَحْيَى اللَّهُ مِنْهُ وَأَمَّا الْآخَرُ فَأَعْرَضَ فَأَعْرَضَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ heard saying: "Whoever enters our mosque here to learn goodness or to teach it, he is like a warrior in the cause of Allah. And whoever enters it for other than that, he is like one who looks at what does not belong to him."  

سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ دَخَلَ مَسْجِدَنَا هَذَا لِيَتَعَلَّمَ خَيْرًا أَوْ يُعَلِّمَهُ كَانَ كَالْمُجَاهِدِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهُ لِغَيْرِ ذَلِكَ كَانَ كَالنَّاظِرِ إِلَى مَا لَيْسَ لَهُ»  

Kathir ibn Qays said: I was sitting with AbudDarda' in the mosque of Damascus. A man came to him and said: AbudDarda, I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. I have come for no other purpose. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3641)   

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا مَعَ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ فِي مَسْجِدِ دِمَشْقَ فَأَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا الدَّرْدَاءِ إِنِّي أَتَيْتُكَ مِنْ مَدِينَةِ الرَّسُولِ فِي حَدِيثٍ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّكَ تُحَدِّثُهُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ أَبُو الدَّرْدَاءِ أَمَا جِئْتَ لِحَاجَةٍ أَمَا جِئْتَ لِتِجَارَةٍ أَمَا جِئْتَ إِلَّا لِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَطْلُبُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا سَلَكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا مِنْ طُرُقِ الْجَنَّةِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةُ تَضَعُ أَجْنِحَتَهَا رِضًا لِطَالِبِ الْعِلْمِ وَإِنَّ الْعَالِمَ يَسْتَغْفِرُ لَهُ مَنْ فِي السَّمَاوَاتِ وَمَنْ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَالْحِيتَانُ فِي الْمَاءِ وَفَضْلُ الْعَالِمِ عَلَى الْعَابِدِ كَفَضْلِ الْقَمَرِ لَيْلَةَ الْبَدْرِ عَلَى سَائِرِ الْكَوَاكِبِ إِنَّ الْعُلَمَاءَ وَرَثَةُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ إِنَّ الْأَنْبِيَاءَ لَمْ يُوَرِّثُوا دِينَارًا وَلَا دِرْهَمًا وَأَوْرَثُوا الْعِلْمَ فَمَنْ أَخَذَهُ أَخَذَ بِحَظٍّ وَافِرٍ»  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "If Allah wants to do good to a person, He makes him comprehend the religion. I am just a distributor, but the grant is from Allah. (And remember) that this nation (true Muslims) will keep on following Allah's teachings strictly and they will not be harmed by any one going on a different path till Allah's order (Day of Judgment) is established." (Using translation from Bukhārī 71)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ يُرِدِ اللَّهُ بِهِ خَيْرًا يُفَقِّهْهُ فِي الدِّينِ»  

“There is no (permissible) envy except in two cases: A man whom Allah has given wealth and caused him to dispose of it in a proper manner, and a man to whom Allah has given wisdom, and he acts in accordance with it and teaches it (to others).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4208)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا حَسَدَ إِلَّا فِي اثْنَتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ مَالًا فَسَلَّطَهُ عَلَى هَلَكَتِهِ فِي الْحَقِّ وَرَجُلٌ آتَاهُ اللَّهُ حِكْمَةً فَهُوَ يَقْضِي بِهَا وَيُعَلِّمُهَا»  

I heard Abū al-Qāsim (the Prophet) ﷺ say, "The best of you in Islam are those with the best character, if they have a good ˹religious˺ understanding." (Using translation from Aḥmad 10066)  

سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَيْرُكُمْ أَحَاسِنُكُمْ أَخْلَاقًا إِذَا فَقُهُوا»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "People are mines in good and evil. The best among them in the pre-Islamic period are the best among them in Islam if they acquire understanding."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «النَّاسُ مَعَادِنُ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, saying, "The best things a person leaves behind after his death are three: a righteous child who prays for him, ongoing charity from which he continues to receive reward, and beneficial knowledge that others benefit from after him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «خَيْرُ مَا يَخْلُفُ الرَّجُلَ بَعْدَهُ ثَلَاثٌ وَلَدٌ صَالِحٌ يَدْعُو لَهُ وَصَدَقَةٌ تَجْرِي يَبْلُغُهُ أَجْرُهَا وَعِلْمٌ يُنْتَفَعُ بِهِ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ Said: Forgive the people of good qualities their slips, but not faults to which prescribed penalties apply. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4375)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَقِيلُوا ذَوِيِ الْهَيْئَاتِ زَلَّاتِهِمْ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever conceals knowledge, he will be bridled with a bridling of fire on the Day of Resurrection."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كَتَمَ عِلْمًا تَلَجَّمَ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The translation of the given Arabic text into English is: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Whoever conceals knowledge, Allah will restrain him with a bridle of fire on the Day of Resurrection.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كَتَمَ عِلْمًا أَلْجَمَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بِلِجَامٍ مِنْ نَارٍ»  

[Machine] While the Prophet ﷺ was leaning against a wall in part of the city, the Jews approached him and asked him about the soul. He recited the verse, "{And they ask you, [O Muhammad], about the soul. Say, 'The soul is of the affair of my Lord. And you have not been given of knowledge except a little}."  

بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فِي بَعْضِ حِيطَانِ الْمَدِينَةِ مُتَوَكِّئًا عَلَى عَسِيبٍ إِذْ جَاءَتْهُ الْيَهُودُ فَسَأَلَتْهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَنَزَلَتْ «{وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} » الْآيَةَ  

"I took a walk with the Prophet ﷺ on a farm in Al-Madinah, and when he reclined upon a palm-leaf stalk, a group of Jews were passing by. Some of them said, 'We should question him.' Others said: 'Do not question him for he might tell you something that you do not like.' They said to him: 'O Abul-Qasim, narrated to us about the Ruh.' The Prophet ﷺ stood for some time, he raised his head toward the heavens, and I recognized revelation was coming to him, until the revelation ceased. Then he ﷺ said: "The Ruh is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you have been given only a little (17:85).'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3141)   

كُنْتُ أَمْشِي مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَرْثٍ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَهُوَ مُتَّكِئٌ عَلَى عَسِيبٍ فَمَرَّ بِنَفَرٍ مِنَ الْيَهُودِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ لَوْ سَأَلْتُمُوهُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ لَا تَسْأَلُوهُ فَيُسْمِعَكُمْ مَا تَكْرَهُونَ فَقَالُوا يَا أَبَا الْقَاسِمِ أَخْبِرْنَا عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَقَامَ سَاعَةً يَنْتَظِرُ الْوَحْيَ فَعَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ يُوحَى عَلَيْهِ فَتَأَخَّرْتُ عَنْهُ حَتَّى صَعِدَ الْوَحْيُ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ «{وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} » الْآيَةَ  

"The Quraish said to the Jews: 'Give us something that we can ask this man about.' So he said: 'Ask him about the Ruh.' So they asked him about the Ruh. So Allah Most High, revealed: They ask you concerning the Ruh. Say: The Ruh is one of the things, the knowledge of which is only with my Lord. And of knowledge, you have been given only a little (17:85). They replied: 'We have been given immense knowledge, we were given the Tawrah, and whoever has been given the Tawrah, then he has indeed been given a wealth of knowledge.' So the following was revealed: Say: 'If the sea were ink for the Words of my Lord, surely the sea would be exhausted (before the Words of my Lord would be finished.) (18:109)'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3140)   

قُرَيْشٌ لِلْيَهُودِ أَعْطُونَا شَيْئًا نَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ فَقَالُوا سَلُوهُ عَنِ الرُّوحِ فَسَأَلُوهُ فَنَزَلَتْ «{وَيَسْأَلُونَكَ عَنِ الرُّوحِ قُلِ الرُّوحُ مِنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّي وَمَا أُوتِيتُمْ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا} » فَقَالُوا لَمْ نُؤْتَ مِنَ الْعِلْمِ نَحْنُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا وَقَدْ أُوتِينَا التَّوْرَاةَ وَمَنْ يُؤْتَ التَّوْرَاةَ فَقَدْ أُوتِيَ خَيْرًا كَثِيرًا؟ فَنَزَلَتْ «{قُلْ لَوْ كَانَ الْبَحْرُ مِدَادًا لِكَلِمَاتِ رَبِّي} الْآيَةَ »  

Are you not surprised at AbuHurayrah? He came and sat beside my apartment, and began to narrate traditions from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ making me hear them. I was saying supererogatory prayer. He got up (and went away) before I finished my prayer. Had I found him, I would have replied to him. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ did not narrate traditions quickly one after another as you narrate quickly. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3655)  

أَلَا يُعْجِبُكَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ جَاءَ فَجَلَسَ إِلَى جَانِبِ حُجْرَتِي يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُسْمِعُنِي ذَلِكَ وَكُنْتُ أُسَبِّحُ فَقَامَ قَبْلَ أَنْ أَقْضِيَ سُبْحَتِي وَلَوْ أَدْرَكْتُهُ لَرَدَدْتُ عَلَيْهِ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَسْرُدُ الْحَدِيثَ كَسَرْدِكُمْ»  

While Messenger of Allah ﷺ was distributing the booty at Al-Ja'rana, somebody said to him "Be just (in your distribution)." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Verily I would be miserable if I did not act justly." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3138)  

بَيْنَمَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَقْسِمُ غَنِيمَةً بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ إِذْ قَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ اعْدِلْ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا وَيْلِي لَقَدْ شَقِيتُ إِنْ لَمْ أَعْدِلْ»  

Abu Tufail, come to us. There has been a difference of opinion between me and my friend about the companion of Moses whom he wanted to meet on the way. Did hear anything from Allah's meesenger ﷺ making a mention of anything? Ubayy said: I heard Messenger of Allah (may Peace be upon him) as saying: As Moses was amongst the group of Bani Isra'il, there came to him a person and he said to him: Do you know anyone having better knowledge than you? Moses said: No. Thereupon Allah revealed to Moses: Of course, there is amongst Our servants Khadir (who has better knowledge) than you. Moses asked the way of meeting him. Allah made the fish a sign and it was said to him: Where you miss the fish return to that (place) and you will soon find him. So Moses moved on as Allah wished him to move on. He then said to his young companion: Bring for us the breakfast. Thereupop that young man said to Moses. when he asked him for the breakfast: Don't you see that as we had reached the Sakhra I forgot the fish and nobody made it forget (in our mind) but the satan that I should remind you of it? Mosed said to that young man: This was what we wanted. So they retraced their steps and met Khadir and the events which followed have been described in His Book except that Yunus (the narrator) said that he followed the traces of fish in the ocean. (Using translation from Muslim 2380f)  

يَا أَبَا الطُّفَيْلِ هَلُمَّ إِلَيْنَا فَإِنِّي قَدْ تَمَارَيْتُ أَنَا وَصَاحِبِي هَذَا فِي صَاحِبِ مُوسَى الَّذِي سَأَلَ مُوسَى السَّبِيلَ إِلَى لُقِيِّهِ فَهَلْ سَمِعْتَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِيهِ شَيْئًا؟ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَيْنَمَا مُوسَى فِي مَلَأٍ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ إِذْ جَاءَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لَهُ هَلْ تَعْلَمُ أَحَدًا أَعْلَمَ مِنْكَ؟ فَقَالَ مُوسَى لَا فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ إِلَى مُوسَى بَلْ عَبْدُنَا الْخَضِرُ فَسَأَلَ مُوسَى السَّبِيلَ إِلَى لُقِيِّهِ فَجَعَلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ الْحُوتَ آيَةً وَقِيلَ لَهُ إِذَا فَقَدْتَ الْحُوتَ فَارْجِعْ فَإِنَّكَ تَلَقَّاهُ فَسَارَ مُوسَى مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَسِيرَ ثُمَّ قَالَ لِفَتَاهُ آتِنَا غَدَاءَنَا فَقَالَ لِمُوسَى حِينَ سَأَلَهُ الْغَدَاءَ أَرَأَيْتَ إِذْ أَوَيْنَا إِلَى الصَّخْرَةِ فَإِنِّي نَسِيتُ الْحُوتَ وَمَا أَنْسَانِيهِ إِلَّا الشَّيْطَانُ أَنْ أَذْكُرَهُ وَقَالَ مُوسَى لِفَتَاهُ ذَلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِي فَارْتَدَّا عَلَى آثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا فَوَجَدَا خَضِرًا وَكَانَ مِنْ شَأْنِهِمَا مَا قَصَّ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Muhammad, do you see a paradise whose width is the heavens and the earth? Where is the Hellfire?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do you see this night, that it was there and now it is gone? Where do you think it has been placed?" The man said, "Allah knows best." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah does whatever He wills."  

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ أَرَأَيْتَ جَنَّةً عَرْضُهَا السَّمَاوَاتُ وَالْأَرْضُ فَأَيْنَ النَّارُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَرَأَيْتَ هَذَا اللَّيْلَ * قَدْ كَانَ ثُمَّ لَيْسَ شَيْءٌ أَيْنَ جُعِلَ؟ » قَالَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ يَفْعَلُ مَا يَشَاءُ»  

[Machine] While the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was speaking to the people, a bedouin came to him and said, "When is the Hour (i.e., the Day of Judgment)?" The Prophet ﷺ continued speaking, and some of the people heard what he said but disliked it, while others had not heard until he finished his speech. Then he asked, "Where is the questioner about the Hour?" The bedouin said, "Here I am." The Prophet ﷺ said, "When trust is lost, then wait for the Hour." The bedouin asked, "How will trust be lost?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "When authority is given to those who are undeserving, then wait for the Hour."  

بَيْنَمَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ الْقَوْمَ جَاءَهُ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فَقَالَ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ فَمَضَى ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ سَمِعَ مَا قَالَ وَكَرِهَ مَا قَالَ وَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ بَلْ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ حَتَّى إِذَا قَضَى حَدِيثَهُ قَالَ «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ؟ » قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا قَالَ «إِذَا ضُيِّعَتِ الْأَمَانَةُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ» قَالَ فَمَا إِضَاعَتُهَا؟ قَالَ «إِذَ اشْتَدَّ الْأَمْرُ فَانْتَظِرِ السَّاعَةَ»  

" O Messenger of Allah! When will the Hour be established?" So the Propher ﷺ stood to perform Salat and when he was finished his Salat he said: "Where is the one who asked when the hour will be established?" The man said: "It was I, O Mesenger of Allah!" He said: "What have you prepared for it?" He said: "O Messenger of allah! I have not prepared very much of salat nor fasting for it, but I love Allah and His Messenger." So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A man shall be with whom ever he loves, and you shall be with whomever you love." So after the advent of Islam, I did not see that anything brought the Muslims more happiness than that. (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2385)   

جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى قِيَامُ السَّاعَةِ؟ فَقَامَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى الصَّلَاةَ قَالَ «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنْ سَاعَتِهِ؟ » فَقَالَ الرَّجُلُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «مَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟ » قَالَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا كَبِيرَ شَيْءٍ وَلَا صَلَاةٍ وَلَا صِيَامٍ أَوْ قَالَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا كَبِيرَ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ» أَوْ قَالَ «أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ فَمَا رَأَيْتُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَرِحُوا بِشَيْءٍ بَعْدَ الْإِسْلَامِ مِثْلَ فَرَحِهِمْ بِهَذَا  

He who desires to ask anything from me let him ask me about it. By Allah, I shall not move from this place so long as I do not inform you about that which you ask. Anas b. Malik said: People began to shed tears profusely when they heard this from Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said it repeatedly: You ask me. Thereupon 'Abdullah b. Hudhafa stood up and said: Messenger of Allah, who is my father? He said: Your father is Hudhafa, and Messenger of Allah ﷺ said repeatedly: Ask me, and (it was at this juncture that 'Umar knelt down and said): We are well pleased with Allah as our Lord, with Islam as our code of life and with Muhammad as the Messenger (of Allah). Messenger of Allah ﷺ kept quiet so long as 'Umar spoke. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: (The Doom) is near; by Him, in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, there was presented to me the Paradise and Hell in the nook of this enclosure, and I did not see good and evil like that of the present day. Ibn Shihab reported: Ubaidullah b. 'Abdullah b. 'Utba told me that the mother of 'Abdullah b. Hudhafa told 'Abdullah b. Hudhafa: I have never heard of a son more disobedient than you. Do you feel yourself immune from the fact that your mother committed a sin which the women in the pre-Islamic period committed and then you disgrace her in the eyes of the people? 'Abdullah b. Hudhafa said: If my fatherhood were to be attributed to a black slave I would have connected myself with him. (Using translation from Muslim 2359c)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ حِينَ زَاغَتِ الشَّمْسُ فَصَلَّى لَهُمْ صَلَاةَ الظُّهْرِ فَلَمَّا سَلَّمَ قَامَ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَذَكَرَ السَّاعَةَ وَذَكَرَ أَنْ قَبْلَهَا أُمُورًا عِظَامًا ثُمَّ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحَبَّ أَنْ يَسْأَلَنِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ فَلْيَسْأَلْنِي عَنْهُ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا تَسْأَلُونِي عَنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا حَدَّثْتُكُمْ بِهِ مَا دُمْتُ فِي مَقَامِي» قَالَ أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ فَأَكْثَرَ النَّاسُ الْبُكَاءَ حِينَ سَمِعُوا ذَلِكَ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَكْثَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يَقُولَ «سَلُونِي سَلُونِي» فَقَامَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ حُذَافَةَ فَقَالَ مَنْ أَبِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَبُوكَ حُذَافَةُ» فَلَمَّا أَكْثَرَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ أَنْ يَقُولَ «سَلُونِي» بَرَكَ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ عَلَى رُكْبَتَيْهِ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ رَضِينَا بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ رَسُولًا قَالَ فَسَكَتَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حِينَ قَالَ عُمَرُ ذَلِكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَقَدْ عُرِضَ عَلَيَّ الْجَنَّةُ وَالنَّارُ آنِفًا فِي عُرْضِ هَذَا الْحَائِطِ فَلَمْ أَرَ كَالْيَوْمِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ»  

May Allah have mercy upon him; be reminded me of the verse which I had been made to forget. (Using translation from Muslim 788b)  

كَانَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَسْمَعُ قِرَاءَةَ رَجُلٍ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَقَالَ «يَرْحَمُهُ اللَّهُ لَقَدْ أَذْكَرَنِي آيَةً كُنْتُ أُنْسِيتُهَا»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, should we strive in something we have missed or in something we have completed?" He said, "No, you should strive in something you have completed." He asked, "Then what should we strive for?" He replied, "O Umar, that can only be achieved through work." He said, "So, shall we make an effort, O Messenger of Allah?"  

عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ ؓ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَعْمَلُ فِي شَيْءٍ نَأْتَنِفُهُ أَمْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ «بَلْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَدْ فُرِغَ مِنْهُ» قَالَ فَفِيمَ الْعَمَلُ؟ قَالَ «يَا عُمَرُ لَا يُدْرَكُ ذَاكَ إِلَّا بِالْعَمَلِ» قَالَ إِذًا نَجْتَهِدُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ used to enter upon us and there was a young companion who was called Abu Umair. One day, the Prophet ﷺ entered upon us and said, "Abu Umair, what happened to the little bird?"  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَدْخُلُ عَلَيْنَا وَلِي أَخٌ صَغِيرٌ يُكَنَّى أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ فَقَالَ «أَبَا عُمَيْرٍ مَا فَعَلَ النُّغَيْرُ؟ »  

The Muslim who offends most against the Muslims is he who enquires about something which has not been forbidden to men, and it is declared forbidden because of his enquiry. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4610)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ أَعْظَمَ النَّاسِ فِي الْمُسْلِمِينَ جُرْمًا مَنْ سَأَلَ عَنْ مَسْأَلَةٍ لَمْ تُحَرَّمْ فَحُرِّمَ عَلَى الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنْ أَجْلِ مَسْأَلَتِهِ»  

Abu Hurairah said that a man came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said: I saw (in my dream) a piece of cloud from which ghee and honey were dropping. I saw the people spreading their hands. Some of them took much and some a little. I also saw a rope hanging from Heaven to Earth. I saw, Messenger of Allah, that you caught hold of it and ascended by it. Then another man caught hold of it and ascended it. Then another man caught hold of it and ascended it. Then another man caught hold of it, but it broke, and then it was joined and he ascended it. AbuBakr said: May my parents be sacrificed for you, if you allow, I shall interpret it. He said: Interpret it. He said: The piece of cloud is the cloud of Islam; the ghee and honey that were dropping from it are the Qur'an, which contains softness and sweetness. Those who received much or little of it are those who learn much or little of the Qur'an. The rope hanging from Heaven to Earth is the truth which you are following. You catch hold of it and then Allah will raise you to Him. Then another man will catch hold of it and ascend it, Then another man will catch hold of it and it will break. But it will be joined and he will ascend it. Tell me. Messenger of Allah, whether I am right or wrong. He said: You are partly right and partly wrong. He said: I adjure you by Allah, you should tell me where I am wrong. The Prophet ﷺ said: Do not take an oath. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4632)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْمَنَامِ ظُلَّةً تَنْطِفُ السَّمْنَ وَالْعَسَلَ وَإِذَا النَّاسُ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ فَعَلَوْتَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَعَلَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَعَلَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَانْقَطَعَ بِهِ ثُمَّ وُصِلَ لَهُ فَعَلَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَاللَّهِ لَتَدَعَنِّي فَلَأَعْبُرُهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «عَبِّرْ» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ أَمَّا الظُّلَّةُ فَظُلَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَأَمَّا الَّذِي يَنْطِفُ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَالْعَسَلِ فَالْقُرْآنُ حَلَاوَتُهُ وَلِينُهُ وَأَمَّا مَا يَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ وَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ وَأَمَّا السَّبَبُ الْوَاصِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَالْحَقُّ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ أَخَذْتَهُ فَيُعْلِيكَ اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَنْقَطِعُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يُوصَلُ لَهُ فَيَعْلُو فَأَخْبِرْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ أَصَبْتُ أَمْ أَخْطَأْتُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَصَبْتَ بَعْضًا وَأَخْطَأْتَ بَعْضًا» قَالَ وَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ لَتُخْبِرَنِّي بِالَّذِي أَخْطَأْتُ قَالَ «لَا تُقْسِمْ»  

If anyone summons other to follow right guidance, his reward will be equivalent to that of the people who follow him, without their rewards being diminished in any respect on that account; and if anyone summons others to follow error the sin of which sins being diminished in any respect on that account. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4609)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ دَعَا إِلَى هُدًى كَانَ لَهُ مِنَ الْأَجْرِ مِثْلُ أُجُورِ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ مِنْ أُجُورِهِمْ شَيْءٌ وَمَنْ دَعَا إِلَى ضَلَالَةٍ كَانَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْإِثْمِ مِثْلُ آثَامِ مَنْ تَبِعَهُ لَا يَنْقُصُ ذَلِكَ مِنْ آثَامِهِمْ شَيْئًا»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed by a group of his Companions and they were laughing. Thereupon, he said, "If you ˹only˺ knew what I know, you would laugh little and weep a lot." Then Jibrīl came to him and said, "Allah says to you, 'Why are you putting my servants in despair?'" He said that he returned back to them then said, "Attempt moderation ˹in your actions as you˺ rejoice."  

مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى رَهْطٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِهِ وَهُمْ يَضْحَكُونَ فَقَالَ «لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَضَحِكْتُمْ قَلِيلًا وَلَبَكَيْتُمْ كَثِيرًا» فَأَتَاهُ جِبْرِيلُ فَقَالَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ يَقُولُ لَكَ لِمَ تُقَنِّطُ عِبَادِي؟ قَالَ فَرَجَعَ إِلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ «سَدِّدُوا وَقَارِبُوا وَأَبْشِرُوا»
