ʿNo one (truly) believes until he believes in four things; until he believes that there is no god but Allah and that I am the Messenger of Allah Who sent me with the truth, and until he believes in the resurrection after death, and until he believes in the divine will and decree.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 758)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يُؤْمِنُ الْعَبْدُ حَتَّى يُؤْمِنَ بِأَرْبَعٍ يَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِالْبَعْثِ بَعْدَ الْمَوْتِ وَيُؤْمِنُ بِالْقَدَرِ»  

None of you is a believer until I am dearer to him than his child, his father, and the whole of mankind. (Using translation from Muslim 44b)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يُؤْمِنُ أَحَدُكُمْ حَتَّى أَكُونَ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْهِ مِنْ وَلَدِهِ وَوَالِدِهِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ»  

The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the people are safe, and the believer is the one from whom the people's lives and wealth are safe." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4995)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُ مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى دِمَائِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ»  

Faith has over seventy branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the removal of a bone from the road. And modesty is a branch of faith. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4676)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْإِيمَانُ سَبْعُونَ أَوِ اثْنَانِ وَسَبْعُونَ بَابًا أَرْفَعُهُ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَدْنَاهُ إِمَاطَةُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Allah will admit the people of paradise into paradise, admitting whomever He wants by His mercy, and He will admit the people of hellfire. Then, He will say, 'Take out whoever has even an atom's weight of faith in their heart.' They will be taken out burnt. They will be thrown into a river in paradise and they will grow like a seed grows on the bank of a flowing stream. Have you not seen how it comes out yellow and twisted?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يُدْخِلُ اللَّهُ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ يُدْخِلُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ بِرَحْمَتِهِ وَيُدْخِلُ أَهْلَ النَّارِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ أَخْرِجُوا مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ حَبَّةُ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَيُخْرَجُونَ مِنْهَا حُمَمًا فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهْرٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ حَبَّةٌ فِي جَانِبِ السَّيْلِ أَلَمْ تَرَهَا صَفْرَاءَ مُلْتَوِيَةً؟ »  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said: "When the people of Paradise and the people of Hellfire are distinguished, the people of Paradise will enter Paradise, and the people of Hellfire will enter Hellfire. Then, the messengers will stand up and intercede, and it will be said, 'Go, and whoever you recognize in their hearts even to the weight of a mustard seed of faith, take them out.' So they will take out many people. Then it will be said, 'Go, and whoever you recognize in their hearts even to the weight of a tiny particle of faith, take them out.' So they will take out many people. Then Allah, the Most High, will say, 'I am now going to bring out of Hellfire those whom I caused to enter Paradise because of My mercy.' So He will bring out many times more than they took out, until they become like charcoal. They will be thrown into a river or a flowing stream in Paradise, and their burnt skin will fall off by the riverbank. Then they will emerge as white as pearls. It will be written on their necks: 'The Freed Ones of Allah,' and they will be called 'the Hellfire Dwellers.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا مُيِّزَ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ يَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَأَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ قَامَتِ الرُّسُلُ فَشَفَعُوا فَيُقَالُ اذْهَبُوا فَمَنْ عَرَفْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ قِيرَاطٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ فَيُخْرِجُونَ بَشَرًا كَثِيرًا ثُمَّ يُقَالُ اذْهَبُوا فَمَنْ عَرَفْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ خَرْدَلَةٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ فَيُخْرِجُونَ بَشَرًا كَثِيرًا ثُمَّ يَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا أَنَا الْآنَ أُخْرِجُ بِنِعْمَتِي وَبِرَحْمَتِي فَيُخْرِجُ أَضْعَافَ مَا أَخْرَجُوا وَأَضْعَافَهُمْ قَدِ امْتَحَشُوا وَصَارُوا فَحْمًا فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهْرٍ أَوْ فِي نَهْرٍ مِنْ أَنْهَارِ الْجَنَّةِ فَتَسْقُطُ مُحَاشُّهُمْ عَلَى حَافَةِ ذَلِكَ النَّهَرِ فَيَعُودُونَ بِيضًا مِثْلَ الثَّعَارِيرِ فَيُكْتَبُ فِي رِقَابِهِمْ عُتَقَاءُ اللَّهِ وَيُسَمَّوْنَ فِيهَا الْجَهَنَّمِيِّينَ»  

The (permanent) inhabitants of the Fire are those who are doomed to it, and verily they would neither die nor live in it (al-Qur'an, xx. 47; lxxxvii. 13). But the people whom the Fire would afflict (temporarily) on account of their sins, or so said (the narrator)" on account of their misdeeds," He would cause them to die till they would be turned into charcoal. Then they would be granted intercession and would be brought in groups and would be spread on the rivers of Paradise and then it would be said: O inhabitants of Paradise, pour water over them; then they would sprout forth like the sprouting of seed in the silt carried by flood. A man among the people said: (It appears) as if the Messenger of Allah lived in the steppe. (Using translation from Muslim 185a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَمَّا أَهْلُ النَّارِ الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَهْلُهَا فَإِنَّهُمْ لَا يَمُوتُونَ فِيهَا وَلَا يَحْيَوْنَ وَلَكِنْ نَاسٌ أَصَابَتْهُمُ النَّارُ بِذُنُوبِهِمْ أَوْ قَالَ بِخَطَايَاهُمْ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا فَحْمًا أُذِنَ فِي الشَّفَاعَةِ فَجِيءَ بِهِمْ ضَبَائِرَ ضَبَائِرَ فَبُثُّوا عَلَى أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ ثُمَّ قِيلَ يَا أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ أَفِيضُوا عَلَيْهِمْ قَالَ فَيَنْبُتُونَ نَبَاتَ الْحِبَّةِ تَكُونُ فِي حَمِيلِ السَّيْلِ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ كَأَنَّهُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِالْبَادِيَةِ  

If this verse were revealed in relation to the Jews (i e. "This day I have perfected your religion for you and have completed My favours for you and have chosen for you al-Islam as religion") we would have taken the day of rejoicing on which this verse was revealed. Thereupon 'Umar said: I know the day on which it was revealed and the hour when it was revealed and where Messenger of Allah ﷺ had been when it was revealed. It was revealed on the night of Friday and we were in 'Arafat with Messenger of Allah ﷺ at that time. (Using translation from Muslim 3017b)   

يَهُودِيٌّ لِعُمَرَ لَوْ عَلِمْنَا مَعْشَرَ الْيَهُودِ مَتَى نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ لَاتَّخَذْنَاهُ عِيدًا {الْيَوْمَ أَكْمَلْتُ لَكُمْ دِينَكُمْ} وَلَوْ نَعْلَمُ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي نَزَلَتْ فِيهِ لَاتَّخَذْنَاهُ عِيدًا فَقَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ «قَدْ عَلِمْتُ الْيَوْمَ الَّذِي أُنْزِلَتْ فِيهِ وَاللَّيْلَةَ الَّتِي أُنْزِلَتْ يَوْمَ الْجُمُعَةِ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِعَرَفَاتٍ»  

“The adulterer, at the time he is committing adultery, is not a believer; (the wine drinker) at the time he is drinking, is not a believer; the thief, at the time he is stealing, is not a believer; the plunderer, at the time he is plundering with the people looking on, is not a believer.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3936)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَزْنِي الزَّانِي حِينَ يَزْنِي وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَسْرِقُ السَّارِقُ حِينَ يَسْرِقُ وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَشْرَبُ الْخَمْرُ حِينَ يَشْرَبُهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ وَلَا يَنْتَهِبُ نُهْبَةً ذَاتَ شَرَفٍ يَرْفَعُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَيْهَا أَبْصَارَهُمْ وَهُوَ حِينَ يَنْتَهِبُهَا مُؤْمِنٌ» فَقُلْتُ لِلزُّهْرِيِّ مَا هَذَا؟ فَقَالَ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْبَلَاغُ وَعَلَيْنَا التَّسْلِيمُ  

Do not turn unbelievers after me ; one of you may strike the neck of the other. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4686)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ led us in the morning prayer at al-Hudaibiyyah after rain which has fallen during the night, and when he finished, he turned to the people and said: Do you know what your Lord has said ? They said: Allah and His Apostle know best. He said: This morning there were among mt servants one who believes in me and one who disbelieves. The one who said: "We have been given rain by Allah's grace and mercy" is the one who believes in me and disbelieves in the star ; but the one who said: "We have been given rain by such and such a rain star," is the one who disbelieves in me and believes in the star. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 3906)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ صَلَّى لَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاةَ الصُّبْحِ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فِي إِثْرِ سَمَاءٍ كَانَتْ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرُونَ مَاذَا قَالَ رَبُّكُمْ؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَصْبَحَ مِنْ عِبَادِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِي وَكَافِرٌ فَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ مُطِرْنَا بِفَضْلِ اللَّهِ وَبِرَحْمَتِهِ فَذَلِكَ مُؤْمِنٌ بِي كَافِرٌ بِالْكَوْكَبِ وَأَمَّا مَنْ قَالَ مُطِرْنَا بِنَوْءِ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَذَلِكَ كَافِرٌ بِي مُؤْمِنٌ بِالْكَوَاكِبِ»  

[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, my mother left a will that we should free a slave on her behalf, and I have a black slave girl." He said, "Bring her to me." So, she came and he asked her, "Who is your Lord?" She replied, "Allah." He asked, "Who am I?" She replied, "The Messenger of Allah." He said, "Free her, for she is a believer."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أُمِّي أَوْصَتْ أَنْ نُعْتِقُ عَنْهَا رَقَبَةً وَعِنْدِي جَارِيَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ قَالَ «ادْعُ بِهَا» فَجَاءَتْ فَقَالَ «مَنْ رَبُّكِ؟ » قَالَتِ اللَّهُ قَالَ «مَنْ أَنَا؟ » قَالَتْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ قَالَ «أَعْتِقْهَا فَإِنَّهَا مُؤْمِنَةٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Faith (Imaan) consists of seventy-plus doors, and modesty (Hayaa) is a part of faith."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ بَابًا وَالْحَيَاءُ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah [SAW] said: 'Faith has seventy-odd branches, the most virtuous of which is La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship except Allah) and the least of which is removing something harmful from the road. And modesty (Al-Haya') is a branch of faith.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 5005)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ شُعْبَةً أَعْلَاهَا شَهَادَةُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَدْنَاهَا إِمَاطَةُ الْأَذَى عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ»  

"The believer does not insult the honor of others, nor curse, nor commit Fahishah, nor is he foul." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1977)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَيْسَ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِالطَّعَّانِ وَلَا اللِّعَانِ وَلَا الْبَذِيءِ وَلَا الْفَاحِشِ»  

"There is no forbearance except for the one who stumbled, and there is no wisdom except for the one who has experience." (Dai'f) (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2033)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا حَلِيمَ إِلَّا ذُو عَثْرَةٍ وَلَا حَكِيمَ إِلَّا ذُو تَجْرِبَةٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, delivered a sermon and said, "There is no faith for someone who has no trustworthiness, and there is no religion for someone who has no commitment."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ فِي الْخُطْبَةِ «لَا إِيمَانَ لِمَنْ لَا أَمَانَةَ لَهُ وَلَا دِينَ لِمَنْ لَا عَهْدَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ set off towards Baqi' al-Gharqad, and I followed him. He said, "O Abu Dharr!" I replied, "Here I am, at your service, and I am your sacrifice." He said, "The ones who have much in this world will have little on the Day of Judgment, except the ones who say, 'This is for the sake of Allah and this is for the sake of Allah,' with their right and left hands." He repeated this three times. Then, we came across Uhud, and he said, "O Abu Dharr, it pleases me that even if the family of Muhammad receive gold equivalent to the value of a dinar or less, it should be divided among them." I said, "Allah and His Messenger know best." Then, we came across a valley, and the Prophet ﷺ settled there. I sat on its edge, thinking that he had a need, so I approached him slowly, and my assumption was wrong. I overheard a conversation, and he said, "That is Jibril informing me regarding my Ummah, that whoever among them testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, will enter Paradise." I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what if he commits adultery and theft?" He replied, "Even if he commits adultery and theft."  

انْطَلَقَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ نَحْوَ بَقِيعِ الْغَرْقَدِ فَانْطَلَقْتُ خَلْفَهُ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ» فَقُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ ثُمَّ سَعْدَيْكَ وَأَنَا فِدَاؤُكَ فَقَالَ «الْمُكْثِرُونَ هُمُ الْمُقِلُّونَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ بِالْمَالِ هَكَذَا وَهَكَذَا عَنْ يَمِينِهِ وَعَنْ شِمَالِهِ» قَالَهَا ثَلَاثًا ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لَنَا أُحُدٌ فَقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا يَسُرُّنِي أَنَّهُ لِآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ ذَهَبًا يُمْسِي مَعَهُمْ دِينَارٌ أَوْ مِثْقَالٌ» فَقُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ ثُمَّ عَرَضَ لَنَا وَادٍ فَاسْتَبْطَنَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَنَزَلَ فِيهِ وَجَلَسْتُ عَلَى شَفِيرِهِ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ حَاجَةً فَأَبْطَأَ عَلَيَّ وَسَاءَ ظَنِّي فَسَمِعْتُ مُنَاجَاةً فَقَالَ «ذَلِكَ جِبْرِيلُ يُخْبِرُنِي لِأُمَّتِي مَنْ شَهِدَ مِنْهُمْ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ؟ قَالَ «وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah [SAW] say: "The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the Muhajir is the one who forsakes (Hajara) that which Allah has forbidden to him." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 4996)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ السَّيِّئَاتِ وَالْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The Muslim who truly submits to Islam is the one from whose tongue and hands other Muslims are safe."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «أَسْلَمُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ إِسْلَامًا مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "Whoever comes on the Day of Judgment with three things - righteousness, honest wealth, and the fulfillment of debt - will enter Paradise."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ جَاءَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ بَرِيئًا مِنْ ثَلَاثٍ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ الْكِبْرِ وَالْغُلُولِ وَالدَّيْنِ»  

[Machine] While we were on a journey with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , the one who was in front of him sat down and the one who was behind followed him until they gathered together. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then said, "Verily, whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah, Allah has made the Hellfire forbidden for him and obligated Paradise for him."  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ فِي سَفَرٍ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسَ مَنْ كَانَ بَيْنَ يَدَيْهِ وَلَحِقَهُ مَنْ كَانَ خَلْفَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا اجْتَمَعُوا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّهُ مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ وَأَوْجَبَ لَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Whoever bears witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah sincerely from their heart will enter paradise."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ مُخْلِصًا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

“Whoever dies knowing that there is no god but Allah will enter Paradise.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 464)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ مَاتَ وَهُوَ يَعْلَمُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ»  

Allow me some time (so that I may talk with you). Why do you weep? By Allah, if I am asked to bear witness, I would certainly testify for you (that you are a believer). Should I be asked to intercede, I would certainly intercede for you, and if I have the power, I would certainly do good to you, and then observed: By Allah, never did I hear anything from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ which could have been a source of benefit to you and then not conveyed it to you except this single hadith. That I intend to narrate to you today, since I am going to breathe my last. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: He who testifies that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, Allah would prohibit the fire of Hell for him. (Using translation from Muslim 29)  

لِي مَهْ لِمَ تَبْكِي؟ فَوَاللَّهِ لَئِنَ اسْتُشْهِدْتُ لَأَشْهَدَنَّ لَكَ وَلَئِنْ شُفِّعْتَ لَأَشْفَعَنَّ لَكَ وَلَئِنِ اسْتَطَعْتُ لَأَنْفَعَنَّكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْ حَدِيثٍ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَكُمْ فِيهِ خَيْرٌ إِلَّا حَدَّثْتُكُمُوهُ إِلَّا حَدِيثًا وَاحِدًا وَسَوْفَ أُحَدِّثَكُمُوهُ الْيَوْمَ وَقَدْ أُحِيطَ بِنَفْسِي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no soul on Earth that dies without associating anything with Allah and testifying that I am the Messenger of Allah, except that it will be forgiven. "I said, "Did you hear this from Mu'adh?" He replied, "The people overwhelmed and threatened me. They told me to leave him be, for he had not said anything wrong. Yes, I heard it from Mu'adh, he claimed to have heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا عَلَى الْأَرْضِ نَفْسٌ تَمُوتُ لَا تُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَتَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَرْجِعُ ذَلِكَ إِلَى قَلْبٍ مُوقِنٍ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهَا» قُلْتُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ مُعَاذٍ؟ قَالَ فَعَنَّفَنِي الْقَوْمُ فَقَالَ دَعُوهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يُسِئِ الْقَوْلَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ مُعَاذٍ زَعَمَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I know a word that no servant speaks sincerely from their heart except that Allah will make it forbidden for them to enter the Fire: There is no deity except Allah."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَا يَقُولُهَا عَبْدٌ حَقًّا مِنْ قَلْبِهِ فَيَمُوتُ عَلَى ذَلِكَ إِلَّا حَرَّمَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى النَّارِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ»  

his mother Su'da Al-Murriyyah said: "Umar bin Khattab passed by Talhah, after the Messenger of Allah ﷺ had died, and said: 'Why do you look so sad? Are you upset because your cousin has been appointed leader?' He said: 'No, but I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "I know a word which no one says at the time of death but it will be light in his record of deeds, and his body and soul will find comfort in it at the time of death," -but I did not ask him about it before he died.' He ('Umar) said: ' I know what it is. It is what he wanted his uncle (Abu Talib) to say, and if he had known anything that would be more effective in saving him, he would have told him to say it.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3795)  

مَرَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ بِطَلْحَةَ بَعْدَ وَفَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ مَا لَكَ مُكْتَئِبًا أَسَاءَتْكَ إِمْرَةُ ابْنِ عَمِّكَ؟ قَالَ لَا وَلَكِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنِّي لَأَعْلَمُ كَلِمَةً لَا يَقُولُهَا عَبْدٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ إِلَّا كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا لِصَحِيفَتِهِ وَإِنَّ جَسَدَهُ وَرُوحَهُ لَيَجِدَانِ لَهَا رَوْحًا عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ» فَقُبِضَ وَلَمْ أَسْأَلْهُ فَقَالَ مَا أَعْلَمُهُ إِلَّا الَّتِي أَرَادَ عَلَيْهَا عَمَّهُ وَلَوْ عَلِمَ أَنَّ شَيْئًا أَنْجَى لَهُ مِنْهَا لَأَمَرَهُ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "When a believer testifies that there is no deity except Allah and acknowledges Muhammad as the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in his grave, then this is the saying of Allah, the Exalted, 'Allah keeps firm those who believe, with the firm word, in worldly life and in the Hereafter.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمُؤْمِنُ إِذَا شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَعَرَفَ مُحَمَّدًا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي قَبْرِهِ فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا {يُثَبِّتُ اللَّهُ الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا بِالْقَوْلِ الثَّابِتِ فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا وَفِي الْآخِرَةِ} »  

He who said:" There is no god but Allah, He is One and there is no associate with Him, that Muhammad is his servant and His messenger, that Christ is servant and the son of His slave-girl and he (Christ) His word which He communicated to Mary and is His Spirit, that Paradise is a fact and Hell is a fact," Allah would make him (he who affirms these truths enter Paradise through any one of its eight doors which he would like. (Using translation from Muslim 28a)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ شَهِدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنَّ عِيسَى عَبْدُ اللَّهِ وَرَسُولُهُ وَكَلِمَتُهُ أَلْقَاهَا إِلَى مَرْيَمَ وَرُوحٌ مِنْهُ وَأَنَّ الْجَنَّةَ وَالنَّارَ حَقٌّ أَدْخَلَهُ اللَّهُ مِنْ أَيِّ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ الثَّمَانِيَةِ شَاءَ»  

[Machine] "From Abu Ali Al-Jubayi, from Fadalah bin Ubaid, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'O Allah, whoever believes in You and bears witness that I am Your Messenger, make him love to meet You, facilitate his matters, reduce his worldly affairs. And whoever does not believe in You and does not bear witness that I am Your Messenger in favor of him, do not make him love to meet You, do not facilitate his matters, and give him more of this worldly life.'"  

عَنْ أَبِي عَلِيٍّ الْجَنْبِيِّ عَنْ فَضَالَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ آمَنَ بِكَ وَشَهِدَ أَنِّي رَسُولُكَ فَحَبِّبْ إِلَيْهِ لِقَاءَكَ وَسَهِّلْ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءَكَ وَأَقْلِلْ لَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَنْ لَمْ يُؤْمِنْ بِكَ وَلَمْ يَشْهَدْ أَنِّي رَسُولُكَ فَلَا تُحَبِّبْ إِلَيْهِ لِقَاءَكَ وَلَا تُسَهِّلْ عَلَيْهِ قَضَاءَكَ وَأَكْثِرْ لَهُ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا»  

The inmates of Paradise would see the inmates of the apartment over them just as you see the shining planets which remain in the eastern and the western horizon because of the superiority some have over others. They said: Messenger of Allah, would in these abodes of Apostles others besides them not be able to reach? He said: Yes, they will, by Him, in Whose hand is my life, those who believe in God and acknowledge the Truth, will reach them. (Using translation from Muslim 2831b)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ يَرَوْنَ أَهْلَ الْغُرَفِ كَمَا تَرَوْنَ الْكَوْكَبَ الدُّرِّيَّ الْغَابِرَ فِي الْأُفُقِ مِنَ الْمَشْرِقِ وَالْمَغْرِبِ لِتَفَاضُلِ مَا بَيْنَهُمَا» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تِلْكَ مَنَازِلُ الْأَنْبِيَاءِ لَا يَبْلُغُهَا غَيْرُهُمْ؟ قَالَ «بَلَى وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ رِجَالٌ آمَنُوا بِاللَّهِ وَصَدَّقُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What is the right of Allah upon His servants?" They replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "That they worship Him alone and do not associate anything with Him." He asked, "What is their right upon Allah if they do that?" They replied, "Allah and His Messenger know best." He said, "That He forgives them and does not punish them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ» قَالَ «فَمَا حَقُّهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «يَغْفِرُ لَهُمْ وَلَا يُعَذِّبُهُمْ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ married us one night, and each of us laid his wife's arm as a pillow. I noticed in the middle of the night that there was no one in front of the Messenger of Allah's camel ﷺ , so I set off to look for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . I found Mu'adh bin Jabal and Abdullah bin Qais standing, so I asked them, 'Where is the Messenger of Allah?' They replied, 'We do not know, except that we heard a voice from the top of the valley. It sounded like the sound of a grinding mill.' We waited for a while, then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ came to us and said, 'Verily, someone came to me from my Lord and gave me the choice between having half of my Ummah enter Paradise, and the position of intercession. I chose intercession.' We said, 'O Messenger of Allah, we ask you by Allah and by your companionship, why you chose us as people of your intercession?' He said, 'Because you are people of my intercession.' When they mounted their camels, he said, 'Verily, I bear witness before those who are present that my intercession is for those among my Ummah who do not associate anything with Allah.'"  

عَرَّسَ بِنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فَافْتَرَشَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا ذِرَاعَ رَاحِلَتِهِ قَالَ فَانْتَبَهْتُ فِي بَعْضِ اللَّيْلِ فَإِذَا نَاقَةُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَيْسَ قُدَّامَهَا أَحَدٌ فَانْطَلَقْتُ أَطْلُبُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ قَيْسٍ قَائِمَانِ فَقُلْتُ أَيْنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ فَقَالَا لَا نَدْرِي غَيْرَ أَنَّا سَمِعْنَا صَوْتًا بِأَعْلَى الْوَادِي فَإِذَا مِثْلُ هَدِيرِ الرَّحَى قَالَ فَلَبِثْنَا يَسِيرًا ثُمَّ أَتَانَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي مِنْ رَبِّي آتٍ فَيُخَيِّرُنِي بِأَنْ يَدْخُلَ نِصْفُ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ وَبَيْنَ الشَّفَاعَةِ وَإِنِّي اخْتَرْتُ الشَّفَاعَةَ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ نَنْشُدُكَ بِاللَّهِ وَالصُّحْبَةِ لَمَا جَعَلْتَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِكَ؟ قَالَ «فَأَنْتُمْ مِنْ أَهْلِ شَفَاعَتِي» قَالَ فَلَمَّا رَكِبُوا قَالَ «فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُ مَنْ حَضَرَ أَنَّ شَفَاعَتِي لِمَنْ مَاتَ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي»  

[Machine] "We left with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Makkah, and some people started asking for permission from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He began giving them permission. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ then asked, 'Why is it that the branch of the tree that follows the Messenger of Allah is more hateful to you than any other branch?' We did not see anyone from the people except crying. Abu Bakr said, 'The one who seeks permission from you after this will surely be foolish in my eyes.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up, praised and thanked Allah. He would say, 'By the One in whose hand my soul is, I bear witness before Allah, whoever among you believes in Allah and follows the straight path, he will be admitted to Paradise.' Indeed, my Lord has promised me that He will admit 70 thousand from my Ummah into Paradise without reckoning or punishment. And I hope that none will enter it until you and your righteous spouses and children settle in it.' Then he said, 'When one-third of the night or two-thirds of it have passed, Allah, blessed and exalted is He, descends to the lowest heaven and says, 'Is there anyone who asks Me that I may give him? Is there anyone who seeks My forgiveness that I may forgive him? Is there anyone who invokes Me that I may answer him until dawn breaks?'"  

صَدَرْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَكَّةَ فَجَعَلَ نَاسٌ يَسْتَأْذِنُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَأْذَنُ لَهُمْ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا بَالُ شِقِّ الشَّجَرَةِ الَّتِي تَلِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَبْغَضَ إِلَيْكُمْ مِنَ الشِّقِّ الْآخَرِ؟ » قَالَ فَلَمْ نَرَ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ إِلَّا بَاكِيًا قَالَ يَقُولُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ إِنَّ الَّذِي يَسْتَأْذِنُكَ بَعْدَ هَذَا لَسَفِيهٌ فِي نَفْسِي فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَ إِذَا حَلَفَ قَالَ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ أَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ مِنْ أَحَدٍ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ ثُمَّ يُسَدِّدُ إِلَّا سُلِكَ بِهِ فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَلَقَدْ وَعَدَنِي رَبِّي أَنْ يُدْخِلَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْجَنَّةَ سَبْعِينَ أَلْفًا بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ وَلَا عَذَابٍ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ لَا يَدْخُلُوهَا حَتَّى تَتَبَوَّءُوا أَنْتُمْ وَمَنْ صَلَحَ مِنْ أَزْوَاجِكُمْ وَذَرَارِيِّكُمْ مَسَاكِنَ فِي الْجَنَّةِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «إِذَا مَضَى شَطْرُ اللَّيْلِ أَوْ ثُلُثَاهُ يَنْزِلُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَقُولُ لَا أَسْأَلُ عَنْ عِبَادِي غَيْرِي مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْأَلُنِي فَأُعْطِيَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَسْتَغْفِرُنِي فَأَغْفِرَ لَهُ مَنْ ذَا الَّذِي يَدْعُونِي فَأَسْتَجِيبَ لَهُ حَتَّى يَنْفَجِرَ الصُّبْحُ»  

"Allah laughs at two men, one of whom killed the other but they both entered Paradise. The first one fought in the cause of Allah and was killed, then Allah accepted the repentance of the one who killed him, and he fought and was martyred." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 3166)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَضْحَكُ اللَّهُ إِلَى رَجُلَيْنِ يَقْتُلُ أَحَدُهُمَا الْآخَرَ وَكِلَاهُمَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ يُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُقْتَلُ ثُمَّ يَتُوبُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الْقَاتِلِ فَيُقَاتِلُ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ فَيُسْتَشْهَدُ»  

When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ died and Abu Bakr ؓ became (caliph) after him, and some of the Arabs apostatized,ʻUmar ؓ said: O Abu Bakr, how can you fight the people when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿI have been ordered to fight the people until they bear witness that there is no god except Allah. Whoever bears witness that there is no god except Allah has protected his wealth and his life from me, except in cases dictated by Islamic law, and their reckoning will be with Allahʿ? Abu Bakr ؓ said: by Allah I shall certainly fight the one who separates prayer and zakah, for zakah is what is due from wealth. By Allah, whoever withholds from me a goat that they used to give (in zakah) to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I shall fight them for withholding it. 'Umar said: By Allah, as soon as I realized that Allah had opened the heart of Abu Bakr to fighting, I realized that it was the right thing to do. (Using translation from Aḥmad 117)  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ بَعْدَهُ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عُمَرُ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ»؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَاللَّهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ مِنْ حَقِّ الْمَالِ وَوَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عَنَاقًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهَا «قَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ أَنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ  

"When the Messenger of Allah died, and Abu Bakr became the Khalifah after him, and some of the 'Arabs reverted to disbelief. 'umar said to Abu Bakr: 'How can you fight the people when the Messenger of allah said: "I have been commanded to fight the people until they say La ilaha illallah (there is none worthy of worship but Allah). Whoever says La ilaha illah, his wealth and his life safe from me, unless he deserves a legal punishment justly, and his reckoning will be with Allah?"' Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 'I will fight anyone who separates prayer and Zakah; Zakah is the compulsory right to be taken from wealth. By Allah, if they withhold from me a rope that they used to give to the Messenger of Allah, I will fight them for wiholding it.' 'Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, said: 'By Allah, it was as if I saw that Allah has opened the heart of Abu Bakr for fighting, and I knew that I was the truth."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2443)  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَاسْتُخْلِفَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَكَفَرَ مَنْ كَفَرَ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ قَالَ عُمَرُ ؓ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ كَيْفَ تُقَاتِلُ النَّاسَ وَقَدْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ عَصَمَ مِنِّي مَالَهُ وَنَفْسَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ»؟ قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ وَاللَّهِ لَأُقَاتِلَنَّ مَنْ فَرَّقَ بَيْنَ الصَّلَاةِ وَالزَّكَاةِ فَإِنَّ الزَّكَاةَ حَقُّ الْمَالِ وَاللَّهِ لَوْ مَنَعُونِي عِقَالًا كَانُوا يُؤَدُّونَهُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ لَقَاتَلْتُهُمْ عَلَى مَنْعِهِ قَالَ عُمَرُ فَوَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ رَأَيْتُ اللَّهَ شَرَحَ صَدْرَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ لِلْقِتَالِ عَرَفْتُ أَنَّهُ الْحَقُّ  

I have been commanded to fight against people so long as they do not declare that there is no god but Allah, and he who professed it was guaranteed the protection of his property and life on my behalf except for the right affairs rest with Allah. (Using translation from Muslim 21a)  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَمَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ فَقَدْ عَصَمَ مِنِّي نَفْسَهُ وَمَالَهُ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهِ وَحِسَابُهُ عَلَى اللَّهِ وَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي كِتَابِهِ فَذَكَرَ قَوْمًا اسْتَكْبَرُوا فَقَالَ {إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا إِذَا قِيلَ لَهُمْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ} وَقَالَ {إِذْ جَعَلَ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا فِي قُلُوبِهِمُ الْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُ عَلَى رَسُولِهِ وَعَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَأَلْزَمَهُمْ كَلِمَةَ التَّقْوَى} وَهِيَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَمُحَمَّدٌ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ» اسْتَكْبَرَ عَنْهَا الْمُشْرِكُونَ يَوْمَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and offer the prayers perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that, then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah." (Using translation from Bukhārī 25)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَشْهَدُوا أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَيُقِيمُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتُوا الزَّكَاةَ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّ الْإِسْلَامِ وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ»  

I have been commanded to fight against people, till they testify to the fact that there is no god but Allah, and believe in me (that) I am the messenger (from the Lord) and in all that I have brought. And when they do it, their blood and riches are guaranteed protection on my behalf except where it is justified by law, and their affairs rest with Allah. (Using translation from Muslim 21b)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُمِرْتُ أَنْ أُقَاتِلَ النَّاسَ حَتَّى يَقُولُوا لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَآمَنُوا بِي وَبِمَا جِئْتُ بِهِ فَإِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ عَصَمُوا مِنِّي دِمَاءَهُمْ وَأَمْوَالَهُمْ إِلَّا بِحَقِّهَا وَحِسَابُهُمْ عَلَى اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] We were with the Prophet ﷺ in a battle when the people suffered from severe hunger. They sought permission from the Messenger of Allah to slaughter some of their animals. 'Umar said, "O Messenger of Allah, how will it be for us when we face our enemies while we are hungry and weak?" But if you, O Messenger of Allah, see fit to call the people for the remainder of their provisions, they will come with it. A man will bring a container of food, and above that will be another container. The one who brought the largest amount was the one who brought a container of dates. The Prophet gathered them on a mat and invoked Allah with what Allah willed him to invoke. Then he called the people with their utensils, and there was not a single utensil left in the army except that it was filled, and an equal amount remained. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ laughed until his molars were visible, then he said, "I bear witness that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah, and I bear witness that I am the Messenger of Allah. And I bear witness before Allah that no believer will meet Him with these two testimonies without Allah screening him from the Fire on the Day of Judgment."  

كُنَّا مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي غَزْوَةٍ فَأَصَابَ النَّاسَ مَخْمَصَةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَاسْتَأْذَنُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فِي نَحْرِ بَعْضِ ظَهْرِهِمْ فَقَالَ عُمَرُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ بِنَا إِذَا لَقِينَا عَدُوَّنَا جِيَاعًا رَجَّالَةً؟ وَلَكِنْ إِنْ رَأَيْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنْ تَدْعُوَ النَّاسَ بِبَقِيَّةِ أَزْوِدَتِهِمْ فَجَاؤُوا بِهِ يَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ بِالْحِفْنَةِ مِنَ الطَّعَامِ وَفَوْقَ ذَلِكَ وَكَانَ أَعْلَاهُمُ الَّذِي جَاءَ بِالصَّاعِ مِنَ التَّمْرِ فَجَمَعَهُ عَلَى نِطَعٍ ثُمَّ دَعَا اللَّهَ بِمَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ يَدْعُوَ ثُمَّ دَعَا النَّاسَ بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ فَمَا بَقِيَ فِي الْجَيْشِ وِعَاءٌ إِلَّا مَمْلُوءٌ وَبَقِيَ مِثْلُهُ فَضَحِكَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ حَتَّى بَدَتْ نَوَاجِذُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَشْهَدُ أَنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ وَأَشْهَدُ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ لَا يَلْقَاهُ عَبْدٌ مُؤْمِنٌ بِهِمَا إِلَّا حَجَبَتَاهُ عَنِ النَّارِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "The people of Paradise will enter Paradise, and the people of Hellfire will enter Hellfire. Then Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, will say, 'Look for the one with even an atom's weight of faith in his heart and take him out.'" He said, "So they will come out of it like charcoal, and they will be thrown into the River of Life, where they will grow like a seed beside a flowing stream." The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "Did you not see how they come out yellow and twisted?"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «يَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ الْجَنَّةِ الْجَنَّةَ وَيَدْخُلُ أَهْلُ النَّارِ النَّارَ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا انْظُرُوا مَنْ وَجَدْتُمْ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالَ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنَ الْإِيمَانِ فَأَخْرِجُوهُ» قَالَ «فَيَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا حُمَمًا بَعْدَمَا امْتَحَشُوا فَيُلْقَوْنَ فِي نَهْرِ الْحَيَاةِ فَيَنْبُتُونَ فِيهِ كَمَا تَنْبُتُ الْحِبَّةُ إِلَى جَانِبِ السَّيْلِ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَمْ تَرَوْهَا كَيْفَ تَخْرُجُ صَفْرَاءَ مُلْتَوِيَةً؟ »  

[Machine] He informed him that 'Utban ibn Malik, who was from the companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and had participated in the Battle of Badr among the Ansar, came to the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I have lost my eyesight, but I still pray for my people. When it rains, the valley between me and the mosque floods, and I cannot go to their mosque to pray for them. I wish that you, O Messenger of Allah, would come and pray in my house and make it a place of worship." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "I will do that." The next day, the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and Abu Bakr As-Siddiq entered the house when the day had brightened. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) sought permission, and I granted him permission. He did not sit down until he entered the house, and then he said, "Where would you like me to pray in your house?" I pointed to a corner of the house. The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) stood up, said the Takbir, and we stood behind him. He prayed two Rak'ahs and then said the Salam. We detained him in a corner which we made for him. Some men from the people of the house surrounded him until a large number of men gathered in the house. One of them said, "Where is Malik ibn Dukhshun?" Some of them said, "He is a hypocrite and does not love Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said to them, "Do not say that to him. Do you not see that he has said, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with that?" They said, "Allah and His Messenger know best. We only see his face and his advice to the hypocrites." The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, "Indeed, Allah, the Most Exalted and High, has forbidden the Fire for whoever says, 'There is no deity worthy of worship except Allah,' seeking the Face of Allah with it."  

أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عِتْبَانَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ وَهُوَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مِمَّنْ شَهِدَ بَدْرًا مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي أَنْكَرْتُ بَصَرِي وَأَنَا أُصَلِّي لِقَوْمِي وَإِذَا كَانَ الْأَمْطَارُ سَالَ الْوَادِي الَّذِي بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ وَلَمْ أَسْتَطِعْ أَنْ آتِيَ مَسْجِدَهُمْ فَأُصَلِّيَ لَهُمْ وَدِدْتُ أَنَّكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ تَأْتِي فَتُصَلِّي فِي بَيْتِي أَتَّخِذُهُ مُصَلًّى قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «سَأَفْعَلُ» قَالَ عِتْبَانُ فَغَدَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقُ حِينَ ارْتَفَعَ النَّهَارُ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَذِنْتُ لَهُ فَلَمْ يَجْلِسْ حَتَّى دَخَلَ الْبَيْتَ ثُمَّ قَالَ «أَيْنَ تُحِبُّ أَنْ أُصَلِّيَ مِنْ بَيْتِكَ؟ » قَالَ فَأَشَرْتُ إِلَى نَاحِيَةٍ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ فَقَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَكَبَّرَ وَقُمْنَا وَرَاءَهُ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ ثُمَّ سَلَّمَ قَالَ وَحَبَسْنَاهُ عَلَى خَزِيرَةٍ صَنَعْنَاهَا لَهُ قَالَ فَثَابَ رِجَالٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الدَّارِ حَوْلَهُ حَتَّى اجْتَمَعَ فِي الْبَيْتِ رِجَالٌ ذَوُو عَدَدٍ قَالَ قَائِلٌ مِنْهُمْ أَيْنَ مَالِكُ بْنُ الدُّخْشُنِ؟ فَقَالَ بَعْضُهُمْ ذَاكَ مُنَافِقٌ وَلَا يُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُلْ لَهُ ذَلِكَ أَلَا تَرَاهُ قَدْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ بِذَلِكَ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ؟ » قَالُوا اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ إِنَّمَا نَرَى وَجْهَهُ وَنَصِيحَتَهُ لِلْمُنَافِقِينَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا حَرَّمَ عَلَى النَّارِ مَنْ قَالَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ يَبْتَغِي بِهِ وَجْهَ اللَّهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'No one will enter Paradise who has even a mustard-seed's weight of arrogance in his heart, and no one will enter Hell who has even a mustard-seed's weight of faith in his heart.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 59)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ أَحَدٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةِ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍ وَلَا يَدْخُلُ النَّارَ مَنْ كَانَ فِي قَلْبِهِ حَبَّةُ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ إِيمَانٍ»  

“A man from my nation will be called before all of creation on the Day of Resurrection, and ninety-nine scrolls will be spread out for him, each one extending as far as the eye can see. Then Allah will say: “Do you deny anything of this?” He will say: “No, O Lord.” He will say: “Have My recording scribes been unfair to you?” Then He will say: “Apart from that, do you have any good deeds?” The man will be terrified and will say: “No.” (Allah) will say: “Indeed, you have good deeds with Us, and you will not be treated unjustly this Day.” Then a card will be brought out on which is written Ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa anna Muhammadan ‘abduhu wa rasuluhu (I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger). He will say: “O Lord, what is this card compared with these scrolls?” He will say: “You will not be treated unjustly.” Then the scrolls will be placed in one side of the Balance and the card in the other. The scrolls will go up (i.e., be light) and the card will go down (i.e., will weigh heavily).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4300)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُخَلِّصُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى رُءُوسِ الْخَلَائِقِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَيَنْشُرُ عَلَيْهِ تِسْعَةً وَتِسْعِينَ سِجِلًا كُلُّ سِجِلٍّ مَدُّ الْبَصَرِ ثُمَّ يَقُولُ لَهُ أَتُنْكِرُ شَيْئًا مِنْ هَذَا؟ أَظَلَمَكَ كَتَبَتِي الْحَافِظُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُ لَا يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ أَفَلَكَ عُذْرٌ أَوْ حَسَنَةٌ؟ فَيُبْهَتُ الرَّجُلُ وَيَقُولُ لَا يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ بَلَى إِنَّ لَكَ عِنْدَنَا حَسَنَةً وَإِنَّهُ لَا ظُلْمَ عَلَيْكَ الْيَوْمَ فَيُخْرِجُ لَهُ بِطَاقَةً فِيهَا أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ فَيَقُولُ احْضُرْ وَزْنَكَ فَيَقُولُ يَا رَبِّ مَا هَذِهِ الْبِطَاقَةُ مَعَ هَذِهِ السِّجِلَّاتِ؟ فَيَقُولُ إِنَّكَ لَا تُظْلَمُ  

[Machine] The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: O son of Adam, if you come to Me with sins nearly as great as the earth and meet Me not associating anything with Me, I will come to you with forgiveness nearly as great as it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ لَوْ لَقِيتَنِي بِمِثْلِ الْأَرْضِ خَطَايَا لَا تُشْرِكُ بِي شَيْئًا لَقِيتُكَ بِمِلْءِ الْأَرْضِ مَغْفِرَةً»  

[Machine] "I saw a man from the people of Khorasan come to him (the Prophet) and he said, 'O Abu Amr, those who came before us from the people of Khorasan used to say that when a man emancipates his slave and then marries her, he is like a passenger with his garment on.' Ash-Sha'bi said Abu Burdah informed me from his father that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'There are three who will have a double reward: a man from the people of the scripture who believed in his Prophet then believed in the Messenger, so he will have two rewards; a slave owned by someone who fulfills his right to Allah, Glorious is He and His right to his master, so he will have two rewards; and a man who had a female slave, so he fed her well and taught her good manners, then he freed her and married her, so he will have two rewards.'"  

رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ خُرَاسَانَ أَتَاهُ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَمْرٍو إِنَّ مَنْ قَبْلَنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ خُرَاسَانَ يَقُولُونَ إِذَا عَتَقَ الرَّجُلُ أَمَتَهُ ثُمَّ تَزَوَّجَهَا فَهُوَ كَالرَّاكِبِ بَدَنَتَهُ فَقَالَ الشَّعْبِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو بُرْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «ثَلَاثَةٌ يُؤْتَوْنَ أَجْرَهُمْ مَرَّتَيْنِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ آمَنَ بِنَبِيِّهِ ثُمَّ أَدْرَكَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَآمَنَ بِهِ وَاتَّبَعَهُ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَعَبْدٌ مَمْلُوكٌ يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا عَلَيْهِ وَحَقَّ الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ لِمَوْلَاهُ فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ وَرَجُلٌ كَانَتْ لَهُ أَمَةٌ فَغَذَّاهَا فَأَحْسَنَ غِذَاءَهَا وَأَدَّبَهَا فَأَحْسَنَ أَدَبَهَا ثُمَّ أَعْتَقَهَا وَتَزَوَّجَهَا فَلَهُ أَجْرَانِ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Jibril came to me and gave me glad tidings, that whoever dies without associating anything with Allah, then he will enter Paradise. I said: "Even if he commits adultery and theft?" He said: "Yes." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2644)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَتَانِي جِبْرِيلُ فَبَشَّرَنِي أَنَّهُ مَنْ مَاتَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ وَإِنْ زَنَى وَإِنْ سَرَقَ»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allahﷺ he said: I said, "Inform me of an action that will admit me into Paradise." He replied, "You have asked about something great, yet it is easy for the one whom Allah makes it easy for. Perform the obligatory prayers, give the obligatory charity, and do not associate anything with Allah."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ قُلْتُ حَدِّثْنِي بِعَمَلٍ يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «بَخٍ بَخٍ سَأَلْتَ عَنْ أَمْرٍ عَظِيمٍ وَهُوَ يَسِيرٌ لِمَنْ يَسَّرَهُ اللَّهُ بِهِ تُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ الْمَكْتُوبَةَ وَتُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ الْمَفْرُوضَةَ وَلَا تُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا»
