[Machine] I said, "O Messenger of Allah, inform me about something that if I do it or act upon it, I will enter Paradise." He said, "Spread peace, feed others, maintain family ties, and pray at night while people are asleep, and you will enter Paradise in peace."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنِي بِشَيْءٍ إِذَا عَمِلْتُهُ أَوْ عَمِلْتُ بِهِ دَخَلْتُ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «أَفْشِ السَّلَامَ وَأَطْعِمِ الطَّعَامَ وَصِلِ الْأَرْحَامَ وَقُمْ بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ تَدْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ بِسَلَامٍ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ he said: "Indeed, in Paradise there are rooms whose exterior can be seen from within and whose interior can be seen from the outside. Allah has prepared them for those who feed food to others, spread peace, and pray at night whilst people are asleep."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ فِي الْجَنَّةِ غُرَفًا يُرَى ظَاهِرُهَا مِنْ بَاطِنِهَا وَبَاطِنُهَا مِنْ ظَاهِرِهَا أَعَدَّهَا اللَّهُ لِمَنْ أَطْعَمَ الطَّعَامَ وَأَفْشَى السَّلَامَ وَصَلَّى بِاللَّيْلِ وَالنَّاسُ نِيَامٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "The believer is the one who is trusted by people, and the Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe. And the migrant is the one who migrates from evil. By the One in whose hand is my soul, no one shall enter Paradise if their neighbor is not safe from their harm."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الْمُؤْمِنُ مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ وَالْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَاجَرَ السُّوءَ وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ عَبْدٌ لَا يَأْمَنُ جَارُهُ بَوَائِقَهُ»  

"Jibra'il kept enjoining good treatment of neighbours until I thought he would make neighbours heirs." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3674)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said "Gabriel continued to recommend me about treating the neighbors Kindly and politely so much so that I thought he would order me to make them as my heirs. (Using translation from Bukhārī 6014)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا زَالَ جِبْرِيلُ يُوصِينِي بِالْجَارِ حَتَّى ظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ سَيُوَرِّثُهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allahﷺ said: "When you cook a pot, increase its broth, for it is more generous to the family and the neighbors."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا طَبَخْتَ قِدْرًا فَأَكْثِرْ مَرَقَتَهَا فَإِنَّهُ أَوْسَعُ لِلْأَهْلِ وَالْجِيرَانِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "When you prepare a broth, add plenty of water to it, then share some of it with the people of your neighbors, and treat them kindly."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا صَنَعْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا ثُمَّ انْظُرْ أَهْلَ بَيْتٍ مِنْ جِيرَانِكَ فَاحْسُهُمْ مِنْهَا بِمَعْرُوفٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "None of you should prevent his neighbor from fixing a peg on his wall."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَمْنَعَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ جَارَهُ أَنْ يَغْرِزَ خَشَبَةً عَلَى جِدَارِهِ»  

He who believes in Allah and in the last day should honour his guest; he who believes in Allah and in the last day should not harm his neighbor; he who believes in Allah and in the last day should speak good or keep silence. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5154)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلَا يُؤْذِ جَارَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيُكْرِمْ ضَيْفَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَ يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ وَالْيَوْمِ الْآخِرِ فَلْيَقُلْ خَيْرًا أَوْ لِيَصْمُتْ»  

[Machine] Uqbah said, "Woe to you! Do not do that, but advise and warn them." He said, "I have advised them but they did not stop, and I am threatening them with punishment." Uqbah said, "Woe to you! Do not do that, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever conceals the faults of a believing Muslim will be treated as if he revived a girl buried alive in her grave.'"  

فقَالَ عُقْبَةُ وَيْحَكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ وَلَكِنْ عِظْهُمْ وَهَدِّدْهُمْ قَالَ إِنِّي نَهَيْتُهُمْ فَلَمْ يَنْتَهُوا وَإِنِّي دَاعٍ الشُّرْطَ لِيَأْخُذُوهُمْ فقَالَ عُقْبَةُ وَيْحَكَ لَا تَفْعَلْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ سَتَرَ عَوْرَةَ مُؤْمِنٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا اسْتَحْيَى مَوْءُودَةً فِي قَبْرِهَا»  

"The companion who is the best to Allah is the one who is best to his companion. And the neighbor that is the best to Allah is the one that is best to his neighbor." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1944)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ الْأَصْحَابِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَخَيْرُ الْجِيرَانِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِجَارِهِ»  

"The companion who is the best to Allah is the one who is best to his companion. And the neighbor that is the best to Allah is the one that is best to his neighbor." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1944)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «خَيْرُ الْأَصْحَابِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِصَاحِبِهِ وَخَيْرُ الْجِيرَانِ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ خَيْرُهُمْ لِجَارِهِ»  

[Machine] "A man came to the Prophet ﷺ complaining about his neighbor. The Prophet ﷺ advised him three times to be patient. Then, on the fourth or third time, he told him, 'Throw your belongings in the street.' The man did as he was told, and people would pass by him and ask, 'What happened to you?' He would reply, 'My neighbor has bothered me.' They would curse him, saying, 'May Allah curse him.' Eventually, his neighbor came to him and said, 'Take back your belongings. By Allah, I will never harm you.'"  

«جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَكَا إِلَيْهِ جَارًا لَهُ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ «اصْبِرْ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُ فِي الرَّابِعَةِ أَوِ الثَّالِثَةِ «اطْرَحْ مَتَاعَكَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ» فَفَعَلَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ بِهِ وَيَقُولُونَ مَا لَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ آذَاهُ جَارُهُ فَجَعَلُوا يَقُولُونَ لَعَنَهُ اللَّهُ فَجَاءَهُ جَارُهُ فقَالَ رُدَّ مَتَاعَكَ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا أُوذِيكَ أَبَدًا  

[Machine] I approached the Prophetﷺ while he was wearing a cloak, and its hem was touching his feet. I said, "O Messenger of Allah, advise me." He said, "You should be mindful of Allah and not belittle any act of goodness, even if it is just pouring water from your bucket into the vessel of the one who seeks water, and you should speak kindly to your brother while facing him with a smiling face. And beware of tucking your garment beneath your knees [out of pride], as this is from arrogance, and Allah does not love arrogance. If someone criticizes you for something he knows about you, do not criticize him for something you know about him. Let him be with his own faults, and his retribution will be upon himself. And do not curse anyone." Then I did not insult any living being after that (Saheeh Muslim).  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ مُحْتَبٌ فِي بُرْدَةٍ لَهُ وَإِنَّ هُدْبَهَا لَعَلَى قَدَمَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِاتِّقَاءِ اللَّهِ وَلَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَقِي وَتُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ إِلَيْهِ مُنْبَسِطٌ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهَا مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَلَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ عَيَّرَكَ بِشَيْءٍ يَعْلَمُهُ فِيكَ فَلَا تُعَيِّرْهُ بِشَيْءٍ تَعْلَمُهُ مِنْهُ دَعْهُ يَكُونُ وَبَالُهُ عَلَيْهِ وَأَجْرُهُ لَكَ وَلَا تَسُبَّنَّ شَيْئًا» قَالَ فَمَا سَبَبْتُ بَعْدَهُ دَابَّةً وَلَا إِنْسَانًا  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are a people from the desert. Teach us something that will benefit us with Allah." He said, "Do not belittle any good deed, even if it is pouring the water from your bucket into the vessel of someone seeking water. And if you talk to your brother with a relaxed face while facing him, and beware of dragging your garment below the ankles, for it is from arrogance and Allah does not like it. And if someone speaks ill of you with something that he knows about you, do not retaliate with something that you know about him, for his reward will be upon you and his sin will be upon him."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا قَوْمٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْبَادِيَةِ فَعَلِّمْنَا شَيْئًا يَنْفَعُنَا اللَّهُ بِهِ فقَالَ «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تُفْرِغَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي إِنَاءِ الْمُسْتَسْقِي وَلَوْ أَنْ تُكَلِّمَ أَخَاكَ وَوَجْهُكَ إِلَيْهِ مُنْبَسِطٌ وَإِيَّاكَ وَإِسْبَالَ الْإِزَارِ فَإِنَّهُ مِنَ الْمَخِيلَةِ وَلَا يُحِبُّهَا اللَّهُ وَإِنِ امْرُؤٌ شَتَمَكَ بِمَا يَعْلَمُ فِيكَ فَلَا تَشْتُمْهُ بِمَا تَعْلَمُ فِيهِ فَإِنَّ أَجْرَهُ لَكَ وَوَبَالَهُ عَلَى مَنْ قَالَهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do not underestimate any act of kindness, even if it is just meeting your brother with a cheerful face. And when you cook soup, add more water to it and share it with your neighbors."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَحْقِرَنَّ مِنَ الْمَعْرُوفِ شَيْئًا وَلَوْ أَنْ تَلْقَى أَخَاكَ بِوَجْهٍ طَلْقٍ فَإِذَا صَنَعْتَ مَرَقَةً فَأَكْثِرْ مَاءَهَا وَاغْرِفْ لِجِيرَانِكَ مِنْهَا»  

that Muʿādh b. Jabal planned to go on a journey, so he said: O Prophet of Allah, ˹please˺ give me some advice. He said, "Worship Allah and do not associate anything with Him." He said: O Prophet of Allah, ˹please give me more advice.˺ He said, "When you have done something bad, then ˹follow it up with˺ doing good." He said: O Messenger of Allah, ˹please give me more advice.˺. He said, "Be steadfast ˹in these˺ and improve your character."  

أَنَّ مُعَاذَ بْنَ جَبَلٍ أَرَادَ سَفَرًا فقَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَوْصِنِي، قَالَ: «اعْبُدِ اللَّهَ، لَا تُشْرِكْ بِهِ شَيْئًا» قَالَ: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي، قَالَ: «إِذَا أَسَأْتَ فَأَحْسِنْ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي قَالَ «اسْتَقِمْ وَلْيَحْسُنْ خُلُقُكَ۔»  

[Machine] "A man said: O Messenger of Allah, when will I be considered righteous (good)? He (the Prophet) said: 'When your neighbors say that you are good, then you are good. And when they say that you are bad, then you are bad.'"  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى أَكُونُ مُحْسِنًا؟ قَالَ «إِذَا قَالَ جِيرَانُكَ أَنْتَ مُحْسِنٌ فَأَنْتَ مُحْسِنٌ وَإِذَا قَالُوا إِنَّكَ مُسِئٌ فَأَنْتَ مُسِئٌ»  

“A man said to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: ‘How can I know when I have done well and when I have done something bad?’ The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘If you hear your neighbors saying that you have done well, then you have done well, and if you hear them saying that you have done something bad, then you have done something bad.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4223)  

رَجُلٌ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَيْفَ لِي أَنْ أَعْلَمَ إِذَا أَحْسَنْتُ وَإِذَا أَسَأْتُ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا سَمِعْتَ جِيرَانَكَ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ فَقَدْ أَحْسَنْتَ وَإِذَا سَمِعْتَهُمْ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ أَسَأْتَ فَقَدْ أَسَأْتَ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you about the best of you in terms of faith? It is the one from whom goodness is expected and harm is feared. And shall I not inform you about the worst of you in terms of faith? It is the one from whom goodness is not expected and harm is not feared."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِكُمْ مِنْ شَرِّكُمْ؟ » فقَالَ رَجُلٌ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ وَيُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ وَشَرُّكُمْ مَنْ لَا يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ وَلَا يُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ»  

'Shall I not inform you of the best of you from your worst?'" He said: "They became silent, so he said that three times, then a man said: 'Of course, O Messenger of Allah! Inform us of the best among us from our worst.' He said: 'The best of you is the one whose goodness is hoped for, and people are safe from his evil. And the worst of you is he whose goodness is not hoped for, and people are not safe from his evil.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2263)   

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَقَفَ عَلَى نَاسٍ جُلُوسٍ فقَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِكُمْ مِنْ شَرِّكُمْ»؟ قَالَ فَسَكَتُوا قَالَ ذَلِكَ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ فقَالَ رَجُلٌ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَخْبِرْنَا بِخَيْرِنَا مِنْ شَرِّنَا قَالَ «خَيْرُكُمْ مَنْ يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ وَيُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ وَشَرُّكُمْ مَنْ لَا يُرْجَى خَيْرُهُ وَلَا يُؤْمَنُ شَرُّهُ»  

"Your smiling in the face of your brother is charity, commanding good and forbidding evil is charity, your giving directions to a man lost in the land is charity for you. Your seeing for a man with bad sight is a charity for you, your removal of a rock, a thorn or a bone from the road is charity for you. Your pouring what remains from your bucket into the bucket of your brother is charity for you." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1956)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَبَسُّمُكَ فِي وَجْهِ أَخِيكَ صَدَقَةٌ لَكَ وَأَمْرُكَ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَنَهْيُكَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِرْشَادُكَ الرَّجُلَ فِي أَرْضِ الضَّلَالَةِ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَبَصَرُكَ لِلرَّجُلِ الرَّدِيءِ الْبَصَرِ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِمَاطَتُكَ الْحَجَرَ وَالشَّوْكَةَ وَالْعَظْمَ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ وَإِفْرَاغُكَ مِنْ دَلْوِكَ فِي دَلْوِ أَخِيكَ لَكَ صَدَقَةٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever acts as a mediator for his Muslim brother to a powerful person, to facilitate ease or alleviate hardship, Allah will grant him permission to cross the bridge on the Day of Judgment when feet are slipped."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ كَانَ وُصْلَةً لِأَخِيهِ الْمُسْلِمِ إِلَى ذِي سُلْطَانٍ فِي مَبْلَغِ بِرٍّ أَوْ تَيْسِيرِ عُسْرٍ أَجَازَهُ اللَّهُ عَلَى الصِّرَاطِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةَ عِنْدَ دَحْضِ الْأَقْدَامِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, I am given and asked for, and needs are brought to me and you are near me. So Intercede, you shall be rewarded. And Allah decides through the tongue of his Prophet what He likes or wills."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أُوتَى فَأُسْأَلُ وَيُطْلَبُ إِلَيَّ الْحَاجَةُ وَأَنْتُمْ عِنْدِي فَاشْفَعُوا فَلْتُؤْجَرُوا وَيَقْضِي اللَّهُ عَلَى لِسَانِ نَبِيِّهِ مَا أَحَبَّ أَوْ مَا شَاءَ»  

[Machine] He heard Ja'far ibn Abdullah saying, "A scorpion bit one of us while we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, shall I recite a Ruqyah for him?" He ﷺ said, "Whoever among you is able to benefit his brother, then let him do so."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ جَابِرَ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ لَدَغَتْ رَجُلًا مِنَّا عَقْرَبٌ وَنَحْنُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرْقِيهِ؟ فقَالَ ﷺ «مَنِ اسْتَطَاعَ مِنْكُمْ أَنْ يَنْفَعَ أَخَاهُ فَلْيَفْعَلْ»  

A Muslim is a Muslim’s brother: he does not wrong him or abandon him. If anyone cares for his brother’s need, Allah will care for his need ; if anyone removes a Muslim’s anxiety, Allah will remove from him, on account of it, one of the anxieties of the Day of resurrection ; and if anyone conceals a Muslim’s fault, Allah will conceal his fault on the Day of resurrection. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4893)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «الْمُسْلِمُ أَخُو الْمُسْلِمِ لَا يَظْلِمُهُ وَلَا يُسْلِمُهُ مَنْ كَانَ فِي حَاجَةِ أَخِيهِ كَانَ اللَّهُ فِي حَاجَتِهِ وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ بِهَا عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever conceals the faults of a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. And whoever relieves a Muslim from hardship, Allah will relieve him from a hardship on the Day of Judgment. Allah will assist His servant as long as the servant is assisting his brother."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ سَتَرَ أَخَاهُ الْمُسْلِمَ سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ وَمَنْ فَرَّجَ عَنْ مُسْلِمٍ كُرْبَةً فَرَّجَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَاللَّهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came and started saying, "O Prophet of Allah, guide me." There was a man among the prominent pagans with the Prophet ﷺ who he ignored and turned to someone else. The Prophet ﷺ then asked the man, "Do you perceive any difficulty in what I am saying?" and the man replied, "No." Then the verse "He frowned and turned away" (Surah Abasa, 80:1) was revealed.  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ أَرْشِدْنِي قَالَتْ وَعِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عُظَمَاءِ الْمُشْرِكِينَ فَجَعَلَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يُعْرِضُ عَنْهُ وَيُقْبِلُ عَلَى الْآخَرِ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَا فُلَانُ أَتَرَى بِمَا أَقُولُ بَأْسًا» فَيَقُولُ لَا فَنَزَلَتْ {عَبَسَ وَتَوَلَّى}  

While a person was going along the path he found a thorny branch upon it. He pushed it to a side and Allah approved (this action) of his and (as a mark of appreciation) granted him pardon. (Using translation from Muslim 1914b)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ وَجَدَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَأَخَذَهُ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ»  

While a person was going along the path he found a thorny branch upon it. He pushed it to a side and Allah approved (this action) of his and (as a mark of appreciation) granted him pardon. (Using translation from Muslim 1914b)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ وَجَدَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ فَأَخَّرَهُ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A man from among those who came before you was held accountable and nothing good was found for him except for a thorny branch that was on the road and used to harm people. So, he was removed from it, and he was forgiven."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «حُوسِبَ رَجُلٌ مِمَّنْ كَانَ قَبْلَكُمْ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ لَهُ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ إِلَّا غُصْنُ شَوْكٍ كَانَ عَلَى الطَّرِيقِ كَانَ يُؤْذِي النَّاسَ فَعَزَلَهُ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said, "A man's sins will be forgiven if he removes a thorny branch from the path of people, regardless of the magnitude of his past and future sins."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «غُفِرَ لِرَجُلٍ أَخَذَ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَنْ طَرِيقِ النَّاسِ ذَنْبُهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: A man never did a good deed but removed a thorny branch from the road; it was either in the tree and someone cut it and threw it on the road, or it was lying in it, he removed it. Allah accepted this good deed of his and brought him into Paradise. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5245)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «نَزَعَ رَجُلٌ لَمْ يَعْمَلْ خَيْرًا قَطُّ غُصْنَ شَوْكٍ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ إِمَّا كَانَ فِي شَجَرَةٍ فَقَطَعَهُ فَأَلْقَاهُ وَإِمَّا كَانَ مَوْضُوعًا فَأَمَاطَهُ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهَا فَأَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

"O Messenger of Allah! Tell me of an action by which I may benefit.' He said: 'Remove harmful things from the path of the Muslims.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3681)  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ أَنْتَفِعُ بِهِ قَالَ «نَحِّ الْأَذَى عَنْ طَرِيقِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, does the lost animal come to my reservoir, will there be a reward in it if I give it water?" He said, "Give it water, for verily, in every living being with a liver, there is a reward."  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الضَّالَّةُ تَرِدُ عَلَى حَوْضِي فَهَلْ فِيهَا أَجْرٌ إِنْ سَقَيْتُهَا؟ قَالَ «اسْقِهَا فَإِنَّ فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ حَرَّى أَجْرًا»  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "A man approached a well, descended, and drank from it. There was a dog by the well panting with thirst, so the man felt compassion for it. He then took off his shoe, tied it to his garment, and filled it with water. He gave the dog a drink, and as a result, Allah appreciated his act of kindness and admitted him into Paradise."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «دَنَا رَجُلٌ إِلَى بِئْرٍ فَنَزَلَ فَشَرِبَ مِنْهَا وَعَلَى الْبِئْرِ كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ فَرَحِمَهُ فَنَزَعَ إِحْدَى خُفَّيْهِ فَغَرَفَ لَهُ فَسَقَاهُ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَأَدْخَلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

Abu Hurairah reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “ While a man was going on his way, he felt himself thirsty severely. He found a well and e went down in it. He drank water and came out. Suddenly he saw a dog panting and eating soil due to thirst. The man said (to himself) “This dog must have reached the same condition due to thirst as I had reached. So he went down into the well, filled his sock with water, held it with his mouth and came up. He supplied water to the dog. Allaah appreciated this and forgave him.” They asked “Apostle of Allaah ﷺ, Is there any reward for us for these beasts? He replied, For every cool liver there is a reward.” (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2550)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَمَا رَجُلٌ يَمْشِي بِطَرِيقٍ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيْهِ الْعَطَشُ فَوَجَدَ بِئْرًا فَنَزَلَ فِيهَا فَشَرِبَ ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَإِذَا كَلْبٌ يَلْهَثُ يَأْكُلُ الثَّرَى مِنَ الْعَطَشِ فقَالَ الرَّجُلُ لَقَدْ بَلَغَ هَذَا الْكَلْبُ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ مِثْلَ الَّذِي بَلَغَ بِي فَنَزَلَ الْبِئْرَ فَمَلَأَ خُفَّهُ مَاءً ثُمَّ أَمْسَكَهُ بِفِيهِ حَتَّى رَقِيَ فَسَقَى الْكَلْبَ فَشَكَرَ اللَّهُ لَهُ فَغَفَرَ لَهُ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ لَنَا فِي الْبَهَائِمِ لَأَجْرًا؟ فقَالَ ﷺ «فِي كُلِّ ذَاتِ كَبِدٍ رَطْبَةٍ أَجْرٌ»  

[Machine] Uyunah and al-Aqra' asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ for something, so he commanded Muawiyah to write it for them, and he did so. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ sealed it and commanded for it to be delivered to them. As for Uyunah, he asked, "What is in it?" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied, "It contains what I have commanded." Uyunah accepted it and tied it in his turban. As for al-Aqra', he said, "I am carrying a scroll, but I do not know its contents, like the scroll of Mutammis." Muawiyah informed the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about their statements. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went out to attend to his needs and passed by a tied camel at the entrance of the mosque from early morning until later in the day, while it remained in the same condition. He asked, "Where is the owner of this camel?" When he was sought, he could not be found. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Fear Allah regarding these animals. Ride them in good health and slaughter them when they are fat like the animals that are neglected. Verily, whoever asks while having what is sufficient for him, it is as if he is accumulating embers from Hellfire." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah, what is sufficient for him?" He replied, "What provides him with dinner and supper."  

أَنَّ عُيَيْنَةَ وَالْأَقْرَعَ سَأَلَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ شَيْئًا فَأَمَرَ مُعَاوِيَةَ أَنْ يَكْتُبَ بِهِ لَهُمَا فَفَعَلَ وَخَتَمَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَمَرَهُ بِدَفْعِهِ إِلَيْهِمَا فَأَمَّا عُيَيْنَةُ فقَالَ مَا فِيهِ؟ فقَالَ فِيهِ مَا أُمِرْتُ بِهِ فَقَبَّلَهُ وَعَقَدَهُ فِي عِمَامَتِهِ وَأَمَّا الْأَقْرَعُ فقَالَ أَحْمِلُ صَحِيفَةً لَا أَدْرِي مَا فِيهَا كَصَحِيفَةِ الْمُتَلَمِّسِ؟ فَأَخْبَرَ مُعَاوِيَةُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَوْلِهِمَا فَخَرَجَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي حَاجَتِهِ فَمَرَّ بِبَعِيرٍ مُنَاخٍ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَسْجِدِ مِنْ أَوَّلِ النَّهَارِ ثُمَّ مَرَّ بِهِ مِنْ آخِرِ النَّهَارِ وَهُوَ عَلَى حَالِهِ فقَالَ «أَيْنَ صَاحِبُ هَذَا الْبَعِيرِ؟ » فَابْتُغِيَ فَلَمْ يُوجَدْ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ فِي هَذِهِ الْبَهَائِمِ ارْكَبُوهَا صِحَاحًا وَكُلُوهَا سِمَانًا كَالْمُتَسَخِّطِ آنِفًا إِنَّهُ مَنْ سَأَلَ وَعِنْدَهُ مَا يُغْنِيهِ فَإِنَّمَا يَسْتَكْثِرُ مِنْ جَمْرِ جَهَنَّمَ» قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَمَا يُغْنِيهِ؟ قَالَ «مَا يُغَدِّيهِ وَيُعَشِّيهِ»  

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said: 'A woman was punished in Hell because she tied up a cat and did not feed it or allow it to eat from the earth's vegetation.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «عُذِّبَتِ امْرَأَةٌ فِي هِرَّةٍ رَبَطَتْهَا فَلَمْ تُطْعِمْهَا وَلَمْ تَدَعْهَا تَأْكُلُ مِنْ خَشَاشِ الْأَرْضِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah the Exalted loves gentleness in every affair."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ فِي الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ»  

He who is deprived of tenderly feelings is in fact deprived of good. (Using translation from Muslim 2592a)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ يُحْرَمِ الرِّفْقَ يُحْرَمِ الْخَيْرَ»  

"Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness, and He grants reward for it that He does not grant for harshness." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3688)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ رَفِيقٌ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to look towards this hill and said to me, "O Aisha, indeed gentleness is not present in anything except that it beautifies it, and it is not removed from anything except that it makes it ugly."  

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَبْدُو إِلَى هَذِهِ التِّلَاعِ وَقَالَ لِي «يَا عَائِشَةُ فَإِنَّ الرِّفْقَ لَمْ يَكُنْ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا نُزِعَ مِنْ شَيْءٍ إِلَّا شَانَهُ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ who said: "Gentleness does not beautify anything, except that it spoils it. And vulgarity is not present in anything, except that it tarnishes it."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا كَانَ الرِّفْقُ فِي شَيْءٍ إِلَّا زَانَهُ وَلَا كَانَ الْفُحْشُ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلَّا شَانَهُ»  

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿAllah is Kind and loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that He does not reward for harshness.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 902)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الرِّفْقَ وَيُعْطِي عَلَى الرِّفْقِ مَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى الْعُنْفِ وَمَا لَا يُعْطِي عَلَى مَا سِوَاهُ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying in my house, "O Allah, whoever takes charge of any matter of my nation and makes it difficult for them, make it difficult for him, and whoever takes charge of any matter of my nation and shows kindness to them, show kindness to him."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي بَيْتِي هَذَا «اللَّهُمَّ مَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمْرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَشَقَّ عَلَيْهِمْ فَاشْقُقْ عَلَيْهِ وَمَنْ وَلِيَ مِنْ أَمَرِ أُمَّتِي شَيْئًا فَرَفَقَ بِهِمْ فَارْفُقْ بِهِ»  

from the Prophet ﷺ who said: Do not associate with anyone other than a believer not let anyone other than a God-fearing person eat from the meal ˹you serve.˺  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «لَا تُصَاحِبْ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنًا وَلَا يَأْكُلْ طَعَامَكَ إِلَّا تَقِيٌّ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Associate only with a believer, and let only a God-fearing man eat your meals. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4832)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَصْحَبْ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنًا وَلَا يَأْكُلْ طَعَامَكَ إِلَّا تَقِيٌّ»  

Messenger of Allah! A man loves some people, but he cannot do work like their work. He replied; Yes, Abu Dharr, will be with those whom you love. Abu Dharr then repeated it. The Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) also repeated it. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5126)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ الرَّجُلُ يُحِبُّ الْقَوْمَ وَلَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ كَعَمَلِهِمْ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّكَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ» قَالَ فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ قَالَ «أَنْتَ يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ came and a man said, "O Messenger of Allah, what do you think of a person who loves a group of people but is not able to join them?" He ﷺ replied, "A person will be with those whom he loves."  

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا يُحِبُّ الْقَوْمَ وَلَمَّا يَلْحَقْ بِهِمْ؟ قَالَ «الْمَرْءُ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ»
