I was in the company of Allah's Apostle ﷺ as he had been sitting in Ji'rana (a place) between Mecca and Medina and Bilal was also there, that there came to Allah's Apostle ﷺ a desert Arab, and he said: Muhammad, fulfill your promise that you made with me. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: Accept glad tidings. Thereupon the desert Arab said: You shower glad tidings upon me very much; then Messenger of Allah ﷺ turned towards Abu Musa and Bilal seemingly in a state of annoyance and said: Verily he has rejected glad tidings but you two should accept them. We said: Messenger of Allah, we have readily accepted them. Then Messenger of Allah ﷺ called for a cup of water and washed his hands in that and face too and put the saliva in it and then said: Drink out of it and pour it over your faces and over your chest and gladden yourselves. They took hold of the cup and did as Messenger of Allah ﷺ had commanded them to do. Thereupon Umm Salama called from behind the veil: Spare some water in your vessel for your mother also, and they also gave some water which had been spared for her. (Using translation from Muslim 2497)   

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَازِلًا بِالْجِعْرَانَةِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ وَمَعَهُ بِلَالٌ فَأَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ أَعْرَابِيٌّ فقَالَ أَلَا تُنْجِزُ لِي يَا مُحَمَّدُ مَا وَعَدْتَنِي؟ فقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَبْشِرْ» فقَالَ لَهُ الْأَعْرَابِيُّ لَقَدْ أَكْثَرْتَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الْبُشْرَى قَالَ فَأَقْبَلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى أَبِي مُوسَى وَبِلَالٍ كَهَيْئَةِ الْغَضْبَانِ فقَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا قَدْ رَدَّ الْبُشْرَى فَاقْبَلَا أَنْتُمَا» فَقَالَا قَبْلِنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ فَدَعَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِقَدَحٍ فِيهِ مَاءٌ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَهُمَا «اشْرَبَا مِنْهُ وَأَفْرِغَا عَلَى وُجُوهِكُمَا أَوْ نُحُورِكُمَا» فَأَخَذَا الْقَدَحَ فَفَعَلَا مَا أَمَرَهُمَا بِهِ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَنَادَتْنَا أُمُّ سَلَمَةَ مِنْ وَرَاءِ السِّتْرِ أَنْ أَفْضِلَا لِأُمِّكُمَا فِي إِنَائِكُمَا فَأَفْضَلَا لَهَا مِنْهُ طَائِفَةً  

that the Prophet ﷺ said, “There are blessings with your elders.”  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْبَرَكَةُ مَعَ أَكَابِرِكُمْ»  

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)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا تُصَاحِبْ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنًا وَلَا يَأْكُلْ طَعَامَكَ إِلَّا تَقِيٌّ»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, 'The example of a good pious companion and an evil one is that of a person carrying musk and another blowing a pair of bellows. The one who is carrying musk will either give you some perfume as a present, or you will buy some from him, or you will get a good smell from him, but the one who is blowing a pair of bellows will either burn your clothes or you will get a bad smell from him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 5534)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ وَمَثَلُ جَلِيسِ السُّوءِ كَحَامِلِ الْمِسْكِ وَنَافِخِ الْكِيرِ فَحَامِلُ الْمِسْكِ إِمَّا أَنْ تَبْتَاعَ مِنْهُ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا طَيِّبَةً وَنَافِخُ الْكِيرِ إِمَّا أَنْ يُحْرِقَ ثِيَابَكَ وَإِمَّا أَنْ تَجِدَ مِنْهُ رِيحًا خَبِيثَةً»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophetﷺ and said in a loud voice, "O Muhammad!" We told him, "Lower your voice, may disaster befall you." He replied, "No, by Allah, I will not lower my voice until he hears me." Then the Prophetﷺ said to him with his hand, "Here I am." The man asked him, "What do you think of a man who loves a people but cannot join them?" The Prophetﷺ replied, "He will be with those whom he loves."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فقَالَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ بِصَوْتٍ لَهُ جَهْوَرِيٍّ فَقُلْنَا وَيْلَكَ اخْفِضْ مِنْ صَوْتِكَ فَإِنَّكَ قَدْ نُهِيتَ عَنْ هَذَا قَالَ لَا وَاللَّهِ حَتَّى أَسْمَعَهُ فقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِيَدِهِ «هَاؤُمُ» فقَالَ أَرَأَيْتَ رَجُلًا أَحَبَّ قَوْمًا وَلَمَّا يَلْحَقْ بِهِمْ؟ قَالَ «ذَلِكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحَبَّ»  

When would be the Last Hour? Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: What preparation have you made for that? Thereupon he said: The love of Allah and of His Messenger (that is my preparation for the Last Hour) (for the Day of Resurrection). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: You would be along with one whom you love. (Using translation from Muslim 2639a)   

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ «مَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟ » قَالَ إِنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ قَالَ «فَأَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ»  

[Machine] "Oh Prophet of Allah, when is the Hour?" He said, "Surely, it is near. What have you prepared for it?" He said, "I have not prepared much except that I love Allah and His Messenger." The Messenger of Allahﷺ said, "Indeed, you will be with whom you love, and you will have what you intend."  

يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ مَتَى السَّاعَةُ؟ قَالَ «أَمَا إِنَّهَا قَائِمَةٌ فَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟ » قَالَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا كَثِيرَ عَمَلٍ إِلَّا أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «فَإِنَّكَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ وَلَكَ مَا احْتَسَبْتَ»  

[Machine] "O Messenger of Allah, when will the Hour be established? And the prayer has been established, so when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished his prayer, he said, 'Where is the one who asked about the Hour?' The man said, 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah.' He ﷺ said, 'It is coming, so what have you prepared for it?' He replied, 'I have not prepared a great deal, except that I love Allah and His Messenger.' The Prophet ﷺ said, 'You will be with those whom you love.' A man among the Ansar, whose name was Muhammad, was present, and he said, 'If this man lives, he will not see a gray hair until the Hour is established.'"  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَتَى تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ؟ وَأُقِيمَتِ الصَّلَاةُ فَلَمَّا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ صَلَاتَهُ قَالَ «أَيْنَ السَّائِلُ عَنِ السَّاعَةِ؟ » قَالَ هَا أَنَا ذَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِنَّهَا قَائِمَةٌ فَمَا أَعْدَدْتَ لَهَا؟ » قَالَ مَا أَعْدَدْتُ لَهَا كَبِيرَ عَمَلٍ غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُحِبُّ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «أَنْتَ مَعَ مَنْ أَحْبَبْتَ» قَالَ وَعِنْدَهُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ مُحَمَّدٌ فقَالَ «إِنْ يَعِشْ هَذَا فَلَا يُدْرِكُهُ الْهَرَمُ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ»  

[Machine] The translation is: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "No two people love each other for the sake of Allah, except that the one who loves his companion more will be superior."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا تَحَابَّ اثْنَانِ فِي اللَّهِ إِلَّا كَانَ أَفْضَلَهُمَا أَشَدُّهُمَا حُبًّا لِصَاحِبِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever deceives us is not one of us, and deception and trickery are in the fire."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ غَشَّنَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا وَالْمَكْرُ وَالْخِدَاعُ فِي النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever commits evil towards his family, he is not of us. And whoever corrupts a woman towards her husband, he is not of us."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ خَبَّثَ عَبْدًا عَلَى أَهْلِهِ فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا وَمَنْ أَفْسَدَ امْرَأَةً عَلَى زَوْجِهَا فَلَيْسَ مِنَّا»  

[Machine] I heard Ibn Umar say: While I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ , a man came and greeted him, then he left. So I said, "O Messenger of Allah, I love him for the sake of Allah." He said, "Did you inform him of that?" I said, "No." He said, "Then inform him that your brother loves him for the sake of Allah." So I followed the man and caught up with him, and I held onto his shoulder, and greeted him. I said, "By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah." He replied, "By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah." I said, "If the Prophet ﷺ did not command me to inform you, I would not have done so."  

سَمِعْتُ ابْنَ عُمَرَ يَقُولُ بَيْنَا أَنَا جَالِسٌ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ أَتَاهُ رَجُلٌ فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ وَلَّى عَنْهُ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ هَذَا لِلَّهِ قَالَ «فَهَلْ أَعْلَمْتَهُ ذَاكَ؟ » قُلْتُ لَا قَالَ «فَأَعْلِمْ ذَاكَ أَخَاكَ» قَالَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَأَدْرَكْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُ بِمَنْكِبِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ قَالَ هُوَ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ قُلْتُ لَوْلَا النَّبِيُّ ﷺ أَمَرَنِي أَنْ أُعْلِمُكَ لَمْ أَفْعَلْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "If one of you loves his brother, he should let him know."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا أَحَبَّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَخَاهُ فَلْيُعْلِمْهُ»  

[Machine] I was sitting with the Prophet ﷺ when a man passed by. A man from the people said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed I love this man." He said, "Have you informed him of that?" The man said, "No." He said, "Then go and inform him." So he stood up and went to him and said, "O so-and-so, by Allah, I truly love you." He replied, "May the one whom you loved me for, love you in return."  

كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِذْ مَرَّ رَجُلٌ فقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّ هَذَا الرَّجُلَ قَالَ «هَلْ أَعْلَمْتَهُ ذَاكَ؟ » قَالَ لَا قَالَ «قُمْ أَعْلِمْهُ» فَقَامَ إِلَيْهِ فقَالَ يَا هَذَا وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ قَالَ أَحَبَّكَ الَّذِي أَحْبَبْتَنِي لَهُ  

A person visited his brother in another town and Allah deputed an Angel to wait for him on his way and when he came to him he said: Where do you intend to go? He said: I intend to go to my brother in this town. He said: Have you done any favour to him (the repayment of which you intend to get)? He said: No, excepting this that I love Mm for the sake of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. Thereupon he said: I am a meesenger to you from, Allah: (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake). (Using translation from Muslim 2567a)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «أَنَّ رَجُلًا زَارَ أَخًا لَهُ فِي قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى قَالَ فَأَرْصَدَ اللَّهُ لَهُ عَلَى مَدْرَجَتِهِ مَلَكًا فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ قَالَ أُرِيدُ أَخًا لِي فِي هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ فقَالَ لَهُ هَلْ لَهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تَرُبُّهَا؟ قَالَ لَا غَيْرَ أَنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فِي اللَّهِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ كَمَا أَحْبَبْتَهُ فِيهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, among the servants of Allah there are people who are not prophets, yet the prophets and the martyrs envy them." It was asked, "Who are they? Perhaps we may love them." He replied, "They are a people who love one another for the sake of Allah, without any blood relation or financial ties. Their faces are radiant with light upon pulpits made of light, and they are not afraid when people are afraid, nor do they grieve when people grieve." Then he recited, "No doubt, the friends of Allah shall have no fear, nor shall they grieve."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ مِنْ عِبَادِ اللَّهِ عِبَادًا لَيْسُوا بِأَنْبِيَاءَ يَغْبِطُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ قِيلَ مَنْ هُمْ لَعَلَّنَا نُحِبُّهُمْ؟ قَالَ هُمْ قَوْمٌ تَحَابُّوا بِنُورِ اللَّهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَرْحَامٍ وَلَا انْتِسَابٍ وُجُوهُهُمْ نُورٌ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ لَا يَخَافُونَ إِذَا خَافَ النَّاسُ وَلَا يَحْزَنُونَ إِذَا حَزِنَ النَّاسُ» ثُمَّ قَرَأَ {أَلَا إِنَّ أَوْلِيَاءَ اللَّهِ لَا خَوْفٌ عَلَيْهِمْ وَلَا هُمْ يَحْزَنُونَ}  

Verily. Allah would say on the Day of Resurrection: Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory's sake? Today I shall shelter them in My shadow when there is no other shadow but the shadow of Mine. (Using translation from Muslim 2566)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَيْنَ الْمُتَحَابُّونَ بِجَلَالِي؟ الْيَوْمَ أُظِلُّهُمْ فِي ظِلِّي يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلِّي»  

[Machine] He said, "I entered the mosque of Damascus and there was a young man named Burrāq al-Thanayā with a group of people. Whenever they disagreed on something, they would seek his opinion and follow his advice. I asked about him, and I was told that this was Mu'adh ibn Jabal. The next day, I migrated, and I found him already there, praying. I waited for him until he finished his prayer and then approached him from the front and greeted him. I said, 'By Allah, I love you for the sake of Allah.' He asked, 'For Allah?' I replied, 'For Allah.' So, he took hold of my collar and brought me closer to him and said, 'Rejoice, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Allah, the Exalted, says: My love is obligatory for those who love each other for My sake, those who sit together for My sake, and those who visit each other for My sake."'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ دِمَشْقَ فَإِذَا فَتًى بَرَّاقُ الثَّنَايَا وَإِذَا النَّاسُ مَعَهُ إِذَا اخْتَلَفُوا فِي شَيْءٍ أَسْنَدُوهُ إِلَيْهِ وَصَدَرُوا عَنْ رَأْيِهِ فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْهُ فَقِيلَ هَذَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ فَلَمَّا كَانَ الْغَدُ هَجَّرْتُ فَوَجَدْتُهُ قَدْ سَبَقَنِي بِالتَّهْجِيرِ وَوَجَدْتُهُ يُصَلِّي قَالَ فَانْتَظَرْتُهُ حَتَّى قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ ثُمَّ جِئْتُهُ مِنْ قِبَلِ وَجْهِهِ فَسَلَّمْتُ عَلَيْهِ وَقُلْتُ وَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لَأُحِبُّكَ لِلَّهِ فقَالَ آللَّهُ؟ قُلْتُ آللَّهُ فَأَخَذَ بِحَبْوَةِ رِدَائِي فَجَذَبَنِي إِلَيْهِ وَقَالَ أَبْشِرْ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَجَبَتْ مَحَبَّتِي لِلْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَالْمُتَجَالِسِينَ فِيَّ وَالْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ»  

A person visited his brother in another town and Allah deputed an Angel to wait for him on his way and when he came to him he said: Where do you intend to go? He said: I intend to go to my brother in this town. He said: Have you done any favour to him (the repayment of which you intend to get)? He said: No, excepting this that I love Mm for the sake of Allah, the Exalted and Glorious. Thereupon he said: I am a meesenger to you from, Allah: (to inform you) that Allah loves you as you love him (for His sake). (Using translation from Muslim 2567a)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «أَنَّ رَجُلًا زَارَ أَخًا لَهُ فِي قَرْيَةٍ أُخْرَى فَأَرْسَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَى مَدْرَجَتِهِ مَلَكًا فَلَمَّا أَتَى عَلَيْهِ قَالَ أَيْنَ تُرِيدُ؟ قَالَ أَزُورُ أَخًا لِي فِي هَذِهِ الْقَرْيَةِ فقَالَ هَلْ لَهُ عَلَيْكَ مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ تَرُبُّهَا؟ قَالَ لَا إِلَّا أَنِّي أُحِبُّهُ فِي اللَّهِ قَالَ فَإِنِّي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ إِلَيْكَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَبَّكَ كَمَا أَحْبَبْتَهُ فِيهِ»  

[Machine] "That I should be afflicted by it, nor any relationship between me and you." He said, "For what reason?" I said, "For the sake of Allah." He said, "Then He would draw my shoulder [closer to him] and say, 'Rejoice! If you are truthful, then I have heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Those who love one another for the sake of Allah will be in the shade of the Throne on the Day when there will be no shade except His shade. The prophets and martyrs will envy them for their position.'" Then he said, "So I went out and came to 'Ubada bin As-Samit and told him about the hadith of Mu'adh. 'Ubada bin As-Samit said, 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'My love is guaranteed for those who love one another for my sake, for those who advise one another for my sake, for those who visit one another for my sake, and for those who spend on one another for my sake, while they are upon pulpits of light. The prophets and the truthful ones will envy them for their position.'"  

أَنْ أُصِيبَهَا مِنْكَ وَلَا قَرَابَةَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَكَ قَالَ فَلِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ؟ قُلْتُ لِلَّهِ قَالَ فَجَذَبَ حُبْوَتِي ثُمَّ قَالَ أَبْشِرْ إِنْ كُنْتَ صَادِقًا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْمُتَحَابُّونَ فِي اللَّهِ فِي ظِلِّ الْعَرْشِ يَوْمَ لَا ظِلَّ إِلَّا ظِلُّهُ يَغْبِطُهُمْ بِمَكَانِهِمِ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالشُّهَدَاءُ» ثُمَّ قَالَ فَخَرَجْتُ فَأَتَيْتُ عُبَادَةَ بْنَ الصَّامِتِ فَحَدَّثْتُهُ بِحَدِيثِ مُعَاذٍ فقَالَ عُبَادَةُ بْنُ الصَّامِتِ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ عَنْ رَبِّهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى «حُقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي عَلَى الْمُتَحَابِّينَ فِيَّ وَحُقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي عَلَى الْمُتَنَاصِحِينَ فِيَّ وَحُقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي عَلَى الْمُتَزَاوِرِينَ فِيَّ وَحُقَّتْ مَحَبَّتِي عَلَى الْمُتَبَاذِلِينَ فِيَّ وَهُمْ عَلَى مَنَابِرَ مِنْ نُورٍ يَغْبِطُهُمُ النَّبِيُّونَ وَالصِّدِّيقُونَ بِمَكَانِهِمْ»  

[Machine] A man came to the Prophet ﷺ and asked, "Where is my father?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "In the Fire (Hell)." When the man turned away, the Prophet ﷺ called him back and said, "Indeed, my father and your father are in the Fire (Hell)."  

أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَامَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فقَالَ أَيْنَ أَبِي؟ قَالَ «فِي النَّارِ» فَلَمَّا قَفَّى دَعَاهُ فقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّ أَبِي وَأَبَاكَ فِي النَّارِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The example of a good companion is like that of a perfumer. Even if you do not get any perfume from him, you will still benefit from his pleasant fragrance. And the example of a bad companion is like that of a blacksmith. Even if he does not burn you with his sparks, you will still get affected by his foul smell."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ الصَّالِحِ مَثَلُ الْعَطَّارِ إِنْ لَمْ يُصِبْكَ مِنْهُ أَصَابَكَ رِيحُهُ وَمَثَلُ الْجَلِيسِ السُّوءِ مَثَلُ الْقَيْنِ إِنْ لَمْ يُحْرِقْكَ بِشَرَرِهِ عَلِقَ بِكَ مِنْ رِيحِهِ»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade two to converse (privately) to the exclusion of a third." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3776)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ الثَالِثٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Two should not converse secretly without a third person."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ وَاحِدٍ»  

[Machine] He said to me and to the man who called 'Istakhirya', "Indeed I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Two should not hold a secret conversation excluding a third person.'"  

فقَالَ لِي وَلِلرَّجُلِ الَّذِي دَعَا اسْتَرْخِيَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ وَاحِدٍ»  

"When you are three, two should not converse (privately) to the exclusion of their companion, because that makes him sad." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3775)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا كُنْتُمْ ثَلَاثَةً فَلَا يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ صَاحِبِهِمَا حَتَّى يَخْتَلِطُوا بِالنَّاسِ فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُحْزِنُهُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Two people should not have a private conversation excluding their companion, as it would sadden him." Abu Salih said, so I asked Ibn Umar, "What if there are four people?" He replied, "It would not harm you."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يَتَنَاجَى اثْنَانِ دُونَ صَاحِبِهِمَا فَإِنَّ ذَلِكَ يُحْزِنُهُ» قَالَ أَبُو صَالِحٍ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عُمَرَ فَأَرْبَعَةٌ؟ قَالَ لَا يَضُرُّكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There are three types of gatherings: the peaceful, the beneficial, and the argumentative."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْمَجَالِسُ ثَلَاثَةٌ سَالِمٌ وَغَانِمٌ وَشَاجِبٌ»  

[Machine] "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ prohibited one person from sitting in the place of another person, but rather make space and expand."  

«نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنْ يُقِيمَ الرَّجُلُ الرَّجُلَ مِنْ مَقْعَدِهِ فَيَقْعُدَ فِيهِ وَلَكِنْ تَفَسَّحُوا وَتَوَسَّعُوا»  

None of you should make another one stand in the meeting and then occupy his place. (Using translation from Muslim 2177a)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا يُقِيمَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ رَجُلًا مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ ثُمَّ يَجْلِسُ فِيهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When a person stands up from his gathering and then returns to it, he has more right to it."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِذَا قَامَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْ مَجْلِسِهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَيْهِ فَهُوَ أَحَقُّ بِهِ»  

[Machine] "I entered upon the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and saw him reclining on a cushion on his left side."  

«دَخَلْتُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَرَأَيْتُهُ مُتَّكِئًا عَلَى وِسَادَةٍ عَلَى يَسَارِهِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whenever a group of people gather together and depart without remembering Allah and sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ , they will regret it on the Day of Judgment."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فَتَفَرَّقُوا مِنْ غَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ وَالصَّلَاةِ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ who said, "A people who sit in a gathering in which they do not remember Allah and send blessings upon the Prophet, they will experience regret on the Day of Judgment. Even if they are admitted into Paradise for their deeds."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَا قَعَدَ قَوْمٌ مَقْعَدًا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنْ أُدْخِلُوا الْجَنَّةَ لِلثَّوَابِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Any group of people who sit together and do not mention Allah or send blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ , will experience regret on the Day of Judgment. Even if they enter Paradise."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا قَعَدَ قَوْمٌ مَقْعَدًا لَا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ فِيهِ وَيُصَلُّونَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ إِلَّا كَانَ عَلَيْهِمْ حَسْرَةً يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَإِنْ دَخَلُوا الْجَنَّةَ»  

There are some expressions which a man utters three times when he gets up from an assembly he will be forgiven for what happened in the assembly; and no one utters them in an assembly held for a noble cause or for remembrance of Allah but that is stamped with them just as a document is stamped with a signet-ring. These expressions are: Glory be to Thee, O Allah, and I begin with praise of Thee, there is no god but thou; I ask Thy pardon, and return to Thee in repentance. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4857)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ «كَلِمَاتٌ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ بِهِنَّ أَحَدٌ فِي مَجْلِسِ لَغْوٍ أَوْ مَجْلِسِ بَاطِلٍ عِنْدَ قِيَامِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِلَّا كَفَّرَتْهُنَّ عَنْهُ وَلَا يَقُولُهُنَّ فِي مَجْلِسِ خَيْرٍ وَمَجْلِسِ ذِكْرٍ إِلَّا خُتِمَ لَهُ بِهِنَّ عَلَيْهِ كَمَا يُخْتَمُ بِالْخَاتَمِ عَلَى الصَّحِيفَةِ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ»  

[Machine] On the authority of the Prophet ﷺ that he said, "Whoever sits in a gathering where there is excessive vain talk, then says before getting up, 'Glory be to You, O Allah, our Lord, and praise be to You. There is no god but You. I seek Your forgiveness and repent to You,' except that he will be forgiven for what was in that gathering."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَنْ جَلَسَ فِي مَجْلِسٍ كَثُرَ فِيهِ لَغَطُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَقُومَ سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّنَا وَبِحَمْدِكَ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ إِلَّا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا كَانَ فِي مَجْلِسِهِ ذَلِكَ»  

Avoid sitting on the paths. They (his Companions) said: Messenger of Allah, there is no other help to it (but to sit there as we) hold our meetings and discuss matters there. Thereupon Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: If you have to sit at all, then fulfil the rights, of the path. They said: What are their rights? Thereupon he said: Keeping the eye downward (so that you may not stare at the women), refraining from doing some harm to the other and exchanging mutual greetings (saying as-Salamu 'Alaikum to one another) and commanding the good and forbidding the evil. (Using translation from Muslim 2121a)  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْجُلُوسَ فِي الطُّرُقَاتِ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا لَنَا مِنْ مَجْلِسِنَا بُدٌّ نَتَحَدَّثُ فِيهَا قَالَ «فَإِذَا أَبَيْتُمْ إِلَّا الْمَجْلِسَ فَأَعْطُوا الطَّرِيقَ حَقَّهُ» قَالُوا مَا حَقُّ الطَّرِيقِ؟ قَالَ «غَضُّ الْبَصَرِ وَكُفُّ الْأَذَى وَرَدُّ السَّلَامِ وَالْأَمْرُ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَالنَّهْيُ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ forbade sitting on the pathways. They said, "O Messenger of Allah, we are unable to do that and cannot bear it." He said, "If not, then fulfill its rights." They asked, "What are its rights, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Responding to greetings, offering blessings to the one who sneezes when he praises Allah, lowering the gaze, and guiding the way."  

نَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ أَنْ تَجْلِسُوا بِأَفْنِيَةِ الصُّعُدَاتِ قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا لَا نَسْتَطِيعُ ذَلِكَ وَلَا نُطِيقُهُ قَالَ «إِمَّا لَا فَأَدُّوا حَقَّهَا» قَالُوا وَمَا حَقُّهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «رَدُّ التَّحِيَّةِ وَتَشْمِيتُ الْعَاطِسِ إِذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَغَضُّ الْبَصَرِ وَإِرْشَادُ السَّبِيلِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ passed by a gathering of the Ansar and said, "If you refuse to sit (unless I join you), then guide the way, convey peace, and help the needy."  

مَرَّ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ عَلَى مَجْلِسِ الْأَنْصَارِ فقَالَ «إِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ إِلَّا أَنْ تَجْلِسُوا فَاهْدُوا السَّبِيلَ وَرُدُّوا السَّلَامَ وَأَغِيثُوا الْمَلْهُوفَ»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Indeed Allah loves sneezing and He dislikes the yawn. So when one of you sneezes and says 'Al-Hamdulillah (All praise is due to Allah),' then it is a right due from every one who hears him to say: 'Yarhamukallah (May Allah have mercy upon you)' As for yawning then when one of you yawns let him suppress it as much as possible and not say: "Hah Hah' for that is only from Ash-Shaitan laughing at him." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2747)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ يُحِبُّ الْعُطَاسَ وَيَكْرَهُ التَّثَاؤُبَ فَإِذَا تَثَاءَبَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَرُدَّ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ وَلَا يَقُلْ هَاوْ فَإِنَّهُ إِذَا قَالَ هَاوْ ضَحِكَ مِنْهُ الشَّيْطَانُ فَإِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فقَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ فَحَقٌّ عَلَى مَنْ سَمِعَهُ أَنْ يَقُولَ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ»  

[Machine] Salem greeted with "Peace be upon you, and upon your mother." Then the man found himself and Salem said to him, "Are you alright?" He replied, "I would prefer not to mention my mother with good or bad." Salem then said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah during a journey, and a man sneezed. The Messenger of Allah said, 'May peace be upon you.' The man replied, 'And upon you and your mother.' The Messenger of Allah said, 'When one of you sneezes, let him say praise be to Allah in every situation, or he may say praise be to Allah, the Lord of all the worlds, and let him say to him, 'May Allah have mercy on you,' and he should say, 'May Allah forgive you.'"  

فقَالَ سَالِمٌ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ فَوَجَدَ الرَّجُلُ فِي نَفْسِهِ فقَالَ لَهُ سَالِمٌ كَأَنَّكَ وَجَدْتَ فِي نَفْسِكَ؟ فقَالَ مَا كُنْتُ أُحِبُّ أَنْ تَذْكُرَ أُمِّي بِخَيْرٍ وَلَا بِشَرٍّ فقَالَ سَالِمٌ كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي سَفَرٍ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فقَالَ السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى أُمِّكَ إِذَا عَطَسَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ عَلَى كُلِّ حَالٍ أَوْ قَالَ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ وَلْيَقُلْ لَهُ يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ وَلْيَقُلْ هُوَ يَغْفِرُ اللَّهُ لَكُمْ»  

[Machine] Two men sneezed in front of the Prophet ﷺ , and one of them said "Alhamdulillah" (praise be to Allah), while the other did not say it. The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, this one praised Allah, and this one did not."  

عَطَسَ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَمَّتَ أَوْ فَسَمَّتَّ أَحَدَهُمَا وَتَرَكَ الْآخَرَ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدْهُ»  

Two men sneezed in the presence of the prophet (May peace be upon him). He said : Allah have mercy on you! To one and not to the other. He was asked: Messenger of Allah! Two persons sneezed. Ahmad’s version has: You invoked a blessing on one of them and left the other. He replied : This man praised Allah, and this man did not praise Allah. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5039)   

عَطَسَ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَشَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا أَوْ قَالَ فَسَمَّتَ أَحَدَهُمَا وَلَمْ يُشَمِّتِ الْآخَرَ فَقِيلَ لَهُ رَجُلَانِ عَطَسَا فَشَمَّتَّ أَحَدَهُمَا وَتَرَكْتَ الْآخَرَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ هَذَا حَمِدَ اللَّهَ وَإِنَّ هَذَا لَمْ يَحْمَدْهُ»  

[Machine] Two men sat next to the Prophet ﷺ, one of them was more honorable than the other. The honorable one sneezed but did not praise Allah, while the other sneezed and praised Allah. So the Prophet ﷺ turned towards the one who did not praise Allah and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I sneezed but you did not pray for me, and this person sneezed, and you prayed for him?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "Indeed, he mentioned the name of Allah, so I remembered him, and you forgot, so I forgot you."  

جَلَسَ رَجُلَانِ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَحَدُهُمَا أَشْرَفُ مِنَ الْآخَرِ فَعَطَسَ الشَّرِيفُ فَلَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ وَعَطَسَ الْآخَرُ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ فَشَمَّتَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَطَسْتُ فَلَمْ تُشَمِّتْنِي وَعَطَسَ هَذَا فَشَمَّتَّهُ؟ فقَالَ ﷺ «إِنَّ هَذَا ذَكَرَ اللَّهَ فَذَكَرْتُهُ وَأَنْتَ نَسِيتَ فَنَسِيتُكَ»  

when a man sneezed beside the prophet (May peace be upon him), he said to him : Allah have mercy on you, but when he sneezed again, he said : The man has a cold in the head. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5037)   

كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَعَطَسَ رَجُلٌ فقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «يَرْحَمُكَ اللَّهُ» ثُمَّ عَطَسَ أُخْرَى فقَالَ ﷺ «الرَّجُلُ مَزْكُومٌ»  

"Shall I not tell you of the best of the people in status?" We said: "Yes. O Messenger of Allah!" He said: "A man who rides his horse in the cause of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, until he dies or is killed. Shall I not tell you of the one who comes after him (in status)?" We said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" He said; "A man who withdraws to a mountain pass and establishes Salah, and pays Zakah, and keeps away from the evil of people. Shall I not tell you of the worst of people?" We said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" He said: "The one who asks for the sake of Allah, the Mighty and Sublime, but does not give (when he is asked) for His sake," (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2569)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ خَرَجَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَهُمْ جُلُوسٌ فِي مَجْلِسٍ فقَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ مَنْزِلًا»؟ فَقُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ بِرَأْسِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ حَتَّى عُقِرَتْ أَوْ يُقْتَلَ أَفَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالَّذِي يَلِيهِ»؟ قُلْنَا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «امْرُؤٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي شِعْبٍ يُقِيمُ الصَّلَاةَ وَيُؤْتِي الزَّكَاةَ وَيَعْتَزِلُ شُرُورَ النَّاسِ أَفَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ النَّاسِ»؟ قُلْنَا نَعَمْ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «الَّذِي يُسْأَلُ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا يُعْطِي بِهِ»  

That the Prophet ﷺ said: "Shall I not inform you of the best of the people ? A man who takes hold of the reins of his horse in Allah's cause. Shall I not inform you of the one who comes after him ? The man who secludes himself from the people with a small group of sheep of his, thereby fulfilling Allah's right. Shall I not inform you about the worst of the people ? A man who is asked by (the Name of) Allah, but not given by Him." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 1652)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِخَيْرِ النَّاسِ؟ إِنَّ خَيْرَ النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ يُمْسِكُ بِعِنَانِ فَرَسِهِ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ وَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِالَّذِي يَتْلُوهُ؟ رَجُلٌ مُعْتَزِلٌ فِي غَنَمِهِ يُؤَدِّي حَقَّ اللَّهِ فِيهَا وَأُخْبِرُكُمْ بِشَرِّ النَّاسِ رَجُلٌ يُسْأَلُ بِاللَّهِ وَلَا يُعْطِي بِهِ»  

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

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