The Prophet ﷺ said, "If you knew that which I know, you would laugh little and weep much." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6486)  

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

[Machine] Indeed, Al-Hawla bint Tuwait ibn Habib ibn Asad ibn Abdul-Uzza passed by and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was with her. She said, so I said, "This is Al-Hawla bint Tuwait and they claim that she does not sleep at night." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "She does not sleep at night, do as much good deeds as you can handle. By Allah, Allah does not tire until you get tired."  

أَنَّ الْحَوْلَاءَ بِنْتَ تُوَيْتِ بْنِ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَسَدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعُزَّى مَرَّتْ بِهَا وَعِنْدَهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ فَقُلْتُ هَذِهِ الْحَوْلَاءُ بِنْتُ تُوَيْتٍ وَزَعَمُوا أَنَّهَا لَا تَنَامُ بِاللَّيْلِ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَنَامُ بِاللَّيْلِ خُذُوا مِنَ الْعَمَلِ مَا تُطِيقُونَ فَوَاللَّهِ لَا يَسْأَمُ اللَّهُ حَتَّى تَسْأَمُوا»  

Uthman was sitting in alMaqaʿid. He called for water and did wudoo’, then he said: I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ doing wudooʿ in this place where I am sitting then he said: “whoever does wudoo’ as I have done, then gets up and prays two rakʿahs, his previous sins will be forgiven.” And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿDo not become complacent.ʿ (Using translation from Aḥmad 478)   

رَأَيْتُ عُثْمَانَ قَاعِدًا فِي الْمَقَاعِدِ فَدَعَا بِوَضُوءٍ فَتَوَضَّأَ ثُمَّ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي مَقْعَدِي هَذَا تَوَضَّأَ مِثْلَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ تَوَضَّأَ مِثْلَ وُضُوئِي هَذَا غُفِرَ لَهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِهِ» ثُمَّ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «وَلَا تَغْتَرُّوا»  

دَخَلْتُ الْمَسْجِدَ فَإِذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ جَالِسٌ وَحْدَهُ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ إِنَّ لِلْمَسْجِدِ تَحِيَّةً وَإِنَّ تَحِيَّتَهُ رَكْعَتَانِ فَقُمْ فَارْكَعْهُمَا» قَالَ فَقُمْتُ فَرَكَعْتُهُمَا ثُمَّ عُدْتُ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّكَ أَمَرْتَنِي بِالصَّلَاةِ فَمَا الصَّلَاةُ؟ قَالَ «خَيْرُ مَوْضُوعٍ اسْتَكْثِرْ أَوِ اسْتَقِلَّ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْعَمَلِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «إِيمَانٌ بِاللَّهِ وَجِهَادٌ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَكْمَلُ إِيمَانًا؟ قَالَ «أَحْسَنُهُمْ خُلُقًا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَسْلَمُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ سَلِمَ النَّاسُ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ الصَّلَاةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «طُولُ الْقُنُوتِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ الْهِجْرَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ هَجَرَ السَّيِّئَاتِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَمَا الصِّيَامُ؟ قَالَ «فَرْضٌ مُجْزِئٌ وَعِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَضْعَافٌ كَثِيرَةٌ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ الْجِهَادِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ عُقِرَ جَوَادُهُ وَأُهْرِيقَ دَمُهُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَفْضَلُ؟ قَالَ «جَهْدُ الْمُقِلِّ يُسَرُّ إِلَى فَقِيرٍ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَيُّ مَا أَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْكَ أَعْظَمُ؟ قَالَ «آيَةُ الْكُرْسِيِّ» ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ مَا السَّمَاوَاتُ السَّبْعُ مَعَ الْكُرْسِيِّ إِلَّا كَحَلْقَةٍ مُلْقَاةٍ بِأَرْضٍ فَلَاةٍ وَفَضْلُ الْعَرْشِ عَلَى الْكُرْسِيِّ كَفَضْلِ الْفَلَاةِ عَلَى الْحَلْقَةِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمِ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ؟ قَالَ «مِائَةُ أَلْفٍ وَعِشْرُونَ أَلْفًا» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمِ الرُّسُلُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «ثَلَاثُ مِائَةٍ وَثَلَاثَةَ عَشَرَ جَمًّا غَفِيرًا» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ كَانَ أَوَّلُهُمْ؟ قَالَ «آدَمُ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَنَبِيٌّ مُرْسَلٌ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ خَلَقَهُ اللَّهُ بِيَدِهِ وَنَفَخَ فِيهِ مِنْ رُوحِهِ وَكَلَّمَهُ قِبَلًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ يَا «أَبَا ذَرٍّ أَرْبَعَةٌ سُرْيَانِيُّونَ آدَمُ وَشِيثُ وَأَخْنُوخُ وَهُوَ إِدْرِيسُ وَهُوَ أَوَّلُ مَنْ خَطَّ بِالْقَلَمِ وَنُوحٌ وَأَرْبَعَةٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ هُودٌ وَشُعَيْبٌ وَصَالِحٌ وَنَبِيُّكَ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَمْ كِتَابًا أَنْزَلَهُ اللَّهُ؟ قَالَ «مِائَةُ كِتَابٍ وَأَرْبَعَةُ كُتُبٍ أُنْزِلَ عَلَى شِيثٍ خَمْسُونَ صَحِيفَةً وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَى أَخْنُوخَ ثَلَاثُونَ صَحِيفَةً وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَى إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَشَرُ صَحَائِفَ وَأُنْزِلَ عَلَى مُوسَى قَبْلَ التَّوْرَاةِ عَشَرُ صَحَائِفَ وَأُنْزِلَ التَّوْرَاةُ وَالْإِنْجِيلُ وَالزَّبُورُ وَالْقُرْآنُ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا كَانَتْ صَحِيفَةُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ؟ قَالَ «كَانَتْ أَمْثَالًا كُلُّهَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلِكُ الْمُسَلَّطُ الْمُبْتَلَى الْمَغْرُورُ إِنِّي لَمْ أَبْعَثْكَ لِتَجْمَعَ الدُّنْيَا بَعْضَهَا عَلَى

كُلُّهَا عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْمَوْتِ ثُمَّ هُوَ يَفْرَحُ وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالنَّارِ ثُمَّ هُوَ يَضْحَكُ وَعَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ أَيْقَنَ بِالْقَدَرِ ثُمَّ هُوَ يَنْصَبُ عَجِبْتُ لِمَنْ

اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ رَأْسُ الْأَمْرِ كُلِّهِ» قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ زِدْنِي قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِتِلَاوَةِ الْقُرْآنِ وَذِكْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّهُ نُورٌ لَكَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَذُخْرٌ لَكَ فِي السَّمَاءِ»

فقَالَ «يَا أَبَا ذَرٍّ لَا عَقْلَ كَالتَّدْبِيرِ وَلَا وَرَعَ كَالْكَفِّ وَلَا حَسَبَ كَحُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ»  

[Machine] "I was riding behind the Prophet ﷺ, with nothing between me and him except the back of the saddle. He said, 'O Mu'adh,' and I replied, 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, at your service.' He then rode for a while and said, 'O Mu'adh,' to which I replied, 'Here I am, O Messenger of Allah, at your service.' He asked, 'Do you know what right Allah has over His servants?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'The right of Allah over His servants is that they worship Him alone and do not associate anyone or anything with Him.' He then rode for a while and said, 'Do you know what right the servants have over Allah if they do that?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'The right of the servants over Allah if they do that is that He will not punish them.'"  

كُنْتُ رَدِيفَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَا بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُ إِلَّا مُؤْخِرَةُ الرَّحْلِ فقَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ «يَا مُعَاذُ» قُلْتُ لَبَّيْكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ وَسَعْدَيْكَ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ اللَّهِ عَلَى الْعِبَادِ؟ » قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «أَنْ يَعْبُدُوهُ وَلَا يُشْرِكُوا بِهِ شَيْئًا» قَالَ ثُمَّ سَارَ سَاعَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ «هَلْ تَدْرِي مَا حَقُّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ»؟ قُلْتُ اللَّهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَعْلَمُ قَالَ «فَإِنَّ حَقَّ الْعِبَادِ عَلَى اللَّهِ إِذَا فَعَلُوا ذَلِكَ أَنْ لَا يُعَذِّبَهُمْ»  

"The Messenger of Allah said: Allah, the Most High, said: If My slave loves to meet Me, I love to meet him, and if he hates to meet Me, I hate to meet him."' (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1835)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدِي لِقَائِي أَحْبَبْتُ لِقَاءَهُ فَإِذَا كَرِهَ لِقَائِي كَرِهْتُ لِقَاءَهُ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Whenever Allah loves a servant, He calls upon Jibril (Gabriel) and says, 'Indeed, I have loved so-and-so, so you should love him.' Then Jibril announces to the inhabitants of the heavens, 'Indeed, Allah loves so-and-so, so you should love him.' Consequently, the dwellers of the heavens love him. Then acceptance is placed for him on earth. When Allah despises a servant, He says the same."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدًا نَادَى جِبْرِيلَ إِنِّي قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ فُلَانًا فَأَحِبَّهُ قَالَ فَيَقُولُ جِبْرِيلُ لِأَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ إِنَّ رَبَّكُمْ أَحَبَّ فُلَانًا فَأَحِبُّوهُ فَيُحِبُّهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ قَالَ وَيُوضَعُ لَهُ الْقَبُولُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا أَبْغَضَ عَبْدًا فَمِثْلُ ذَلِكَ»  

[Machine] From the Prophet of Allahﷺ he said, "When Allah loves a servant, He would say to Gabriel, 'I love so-and-so, so love him.' Then Gabriel would love him, and then call out in the heavens saying, 'Indeed, Allah loves so-and-so, so love him.' Then the inhabitants of the heavens would also love him. And then acceptance would be placed for him on earth. And when Allah dislikes a servant, Malik (the angel responsible for Hellfire) would say, 'I do not find him except that he has said the same.'  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «إِذَا أَحَبَّ اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ قَالَ لِجِبْرِيلَ قَدْ أَحْبَبْتُ فُلَانًا فَأَحِبَّهُ فَيُحِبُّهُ جِبْرِيلُ ثُمَّ يُنَادِي فِي أَهْلِ السَّمَاءِ إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ أَحَبَّ فُلَانًا فَأَحِبُّوهُ فَيُحِبُّهُ أَهْلُ السَّمَاءِ ثُمَّ يُوضَعُ لَهُ الْقَبُولُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَإِذَا أَبْغَضَ اللَّهُ الْعَبْدَ قَالَ مَالِكٌ لَا أَحْسِبُهُ إِلَّا قَالَ فِي الْبُغْضِ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ  

[Machine] Abu Dhar said, "O Messenger of Allah, a man works for himself and people love him?" He (the Prophet) said, "That is the glad tidings of a believer."  

أَبُو ذَرٍّ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَعْمَلُ لِنَفْسِهِ وَيُحِبُّهُ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَ «تِلْكَ عَاجِلُ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ»  

It was said to Messenger of Allah ﷺ: What is your opinion about the person who has done good deeds and the people praise him? He said: It is glad tidings for a believer (which he has received in this mortal world). (Using translation from Muslim 2642a)   

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَرَأَيْتَ الرَّجُلَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ يَحْمَدُهُ النَّاسُ؟ قَالَ «ذَلِكَ بُشْرَى الْمُؤْمِنِ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, when Allah loves a servant, He praises him to the angels, saying: 'Look at my servant, how virtuous he is, even though he has not performed the good deeds that I will multiply for him seven times.' And when Allah is displeased with a servant, He criticizes him to the angels, saying: 'Look at my servant, how evil he is, even though he has not committed the sins that I will multiply against him seven times.'"  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ إِذَا أَحَبَّ عَبْدًا أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضْعَافٍ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا وَإِذَا سَخِطَ عَلَى عَبْدٍ أَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ بِسَبْعَةِ أَضْعَافٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ لَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا»  

Allah the Exalted and Glorious, said: I have prepared for My pious servants which no eye has ever seen, and no ear has ever heard, and no human heart has ever perceived but it is testified by the Book of Allah. He then recited:" No soul knows what comfort has been concealed from them, as a reward for what they did". (xxxii. 17) (Using translation from Muslim 2824a)  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَعْدَدْتُ لِعِبَادِي الصَّالِحِينَ مَا لَا عَيْنٌ رَأَتْ وَلَا أُذُنٌ سَمِعَتْ وَلَا خَطَرَ عَلَى قَلْبِ بَشَرٍ وَمِصْدَاقُ ذَلِكَ فِي كِتَابِ اللَّهِ {فَلَا تَعْلَمُ نَفْسٌ مَا أُخْفِيَ لَهُمْ مِنْ قُرَّةِ أَعْيُنٍ جَزَاءً بِمَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ} »  

[Machine] "A message came down to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ from Hudaybiyah, and indeed his companions were feeling sadness and distress. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A verse has been revealed to me which is more beloved to me than the entire world and everything in it.' Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ recited the verse to them: 'That He may admit the believing men and believing women to gardens beneath which rivers flow.'  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا لِيَغْفِرَ لَكَ اللَّهُ مَا تَقَدَّمَ مِنْ ذَنْبِكَ وَمَا تَأَخَّرَ} قَالَ نَزَلَتْ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرْجِعَهُ مِنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَإِنَّ أَصْحَابَهُ قَدْ أَصَابَتْهُمُ الْكَآبَةُ وَالْحُزْنُ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أُنْزِلَتْ عَلَيَّ آيَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا فِيهَا» فَتَلَاهَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَا يَفْعَلُ بِكَ فَمَاذَا يَفْعَلُ بِنَا فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ الْآيَةَ بَعْدَهَا {لِيُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ} الآية  

[Machine] "It came down to the Prophet of Allah, upon him be peace, as a response from al-Hudaybiyah. His companions were overwhelmed with sadness and gloom, as there was a barrier between them and their demand. They had sacrificed their animals in al-Hudaybiyah. The Messenger of Allah, upon him be peace, said, 'Indeed, a verse has been revealed to me that is more beloved to me than the entire world.' He recited it to them until the end of the verse. Then, a man from the community said, 'Congratulations and glad tidings to you, O Messenger of Allah! Allah has made clear to you what He will do with you, so what will He do with us?' So Allah revealed, 'That He may admit the believing men and the believing women to gardens beneath which rivers flow...' until the end of the verse."  

فِي قَوْلِهِ {إِنَّا فَتَحْنَا لَكَ فَتْحًا مُبِينًا} أَنَّهَا نَزَلَتْ عَلَى نَبِيِّ اللَّهِ ﷺ مَرْجِعَهُ مِنَ الْحُدَيْبِيَةِ وَأَصْحَابُهُ قَدْ خَالَطَهُمُ الْحُزْنُ وَالْكَآبَةُ قَدْ حِيلَ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَ مَسْأَلَتِهِمْ وَنَحَرُوا الْبُدْنَ بِالْحُدَيْبِيَةِ فقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَقَدْ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيَّ آيَةٌ هِيَ أَحَبُّ إِلَيَّ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا جَمِيعًا» فَقَرَأَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ فقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ هَنِيئًا مَرِيئًا لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَدْ بَيَّنَ اللَّهُ لَكَ مَاذَا يَفْعَلُ بِكَ فَمَاذَا يَفْعَلُ بِنَا؟ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {لِيُدْخِلَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَالْمُؤْمِنَاتِ جَنَّاتٍ تَجْرِي مِنْ تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Whoever strives in the cause of Allah is guaranteed by Allah, and whoever visits a sick person is guaranteed by Allah, and whoever goes to the mosque or goes on a journey is guaranteed by Allah, and whoever enters upon an Imam who supports him is guaranteed by Allah, and whoever sits in his house without gossiping about anyone is guaranteed by Allah."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ جَاهَدَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ كَانَ ضَامِنًا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ عَادَ مَرِيضًا كَانَ ضَامِنًا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ غَدَا إِلَى مَسْجِدٍ أَوْ رَاحَ كَانَ ضَامِنًا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ دَخَلَ عَلَى إِمَامٍ يُعَزِّزُهُ كَانَ ضَامِنًا عَلَى اللَّهِ وَمَنْ جَلَسَ فِي بَيْتِهِ لَمْ يَغْتَبْ إِنْسَانًا كَانَ ضَامِنًا عَلَى اللَّهِ»  

[Machine] I asked Abu Tharr, "Guide me to an action that, if a servant performs it, he will enter Paradise."

He said, "I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about that, and he said, 'He believes in Allah.'"

I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is there any other deed alongside faith?"

He said, "He is content with what Allah has provided for him."

I said, "Even if he is deprived of everything?"

He said, "He speaks good words with his tongue."

I said, "What if he is mute and cannot speak?"

He said, "He helps the oppressed."

I said, "What if he is weak and has no strength?"

He said, "Then let him support the disabled."

I said, "What if he himself is disabled?"

He looked at me and said, "If you want to leave your friend with some good, then do not harm others."

I said, "O Messenger of Allah, is this a word of ease?"

He ﷺ said, "By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! No servant performs a quality from these qualities, desiring with it what is with Allah, except that it will take hold of him on the Day of Resurrection until it brings him into Paradise."  

سَأَلْتُ أَبَا ذَرٍّ قُلْتُ دُلَّنِي عَلَى عَمَلٍ إِذَا عَمِلَ الْعَبْدُ بِهِ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ سَأَلْتُ عَنْ ذَلِكَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ «يُؤْمِنُ بِاللَّهِ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ مَعَ الْإِيمَانِ عَمَلًا؟ قَالَ «يَرْضَخُ مِمَّا رَزَقَهُ اللَّهُ» قُلْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ مُعْدَمًا لَا شَيْءَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ «يَقُولُ مَعْرُوفًا بِلِسَانِهِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ عَيِيًّا لَا يُبْلِغُ عَنْهُ لِسَانُهُ؟ قَالَ «فَيُعِينُ مَغْلُوبًا» قُلْتُ فَإِنْ كَانَ ضَعِيفًا لَا قُدْرَةَ لَهُ؟ قَالَ «فَلْيَصْنَعْ لِأَخْرَقَ» قُلْتُ وَإِنْ كَانَ أَخْرَقَ؟ قَالَ فَالْتَفَتَ إِلَيَّ وَ قَالَ «مَا تُرِيدُ أَنْ تَدَعَ فِي صَاحِبِكَ شَيْئًا مِنَ الْخَيْرِ فَلْيَدَعِ النَّاسَ مِنْ أَذَاهُ» فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ هَذِهِ كَلِمَةُ تَيْسِيرٍ؟ فقَالَ ﷺ «وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ يَعْمَلُ بِخَصْلَةٍ مِنْهَا يُرِيدُ بِهَا مَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ إِلَّا أَخَذَتْ بِيَدِهِ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ حَتَّى تُدْخِلَهُ الْجَنَّةَ»  

[Machine] An Arab man came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, teach me a deed that will admit me into Paradise." The Prophet ﷺ replied, "If you shorten your speech, you have already fulfilled the request. Freeing a slave and removing the burden of a slave's neck are acts of righteousness. The freeing of the soul is when you grant freedom to a slave without expecting anything in return, and removing the burden of the neck is when you give a slave as a gift without accepting any payment. And the charitable gift is when you give to one who has severed their ties of kinship. If you cannot do that, then feed the hungry, give water to the thirsty, enjoin what is good, and forbid what is evil. And if you cannot do that, then restrain your tongue from speaking anything except good."  

جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ عَلِّمْنِي عَمَلًا يُدْخِلُنِي الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ «لَئِنْ كُنْتَ أَقْصَرْتَ الْخُطْبَةَ فَقَدْ أَعْرَضْتَ الْمَسْأَلَةَ أَعْتِقِ النَّسَمَةَ وَفُكَّ الرَّقَبَةَ» قَالَ أَوَ لَيْسَتَا بِوَاحِدَةٍ؟ قَالَ «لَا عِتْقُ النَّسَمَةِ أَنْ تَفَرَّدَ بِعِتْقِهَا وَفَكُّ الرَّقَبَةِ أَنْ تُعْطِي فِي ثَمَنِهَا وَالْمِنْحَةُ الْوَكُوفُ وَالْفَيْءُ عَلَى ذِي الرَّحِمِ الْقَاطِعِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَاكَ فَأَطْعِمِ الْجَائِعَ وَاسْقِ الظَّمْآنَ وَمُرْ بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَانْهَ عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ فَإِنْ لَمْ تُطِقْ ذَلِكَ فَكُفَّ لِسَانَكَ إِلَّا مِنْ خَيْرٍ»  

“A man said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I do a good deed, then others find out about it and that pleases me.’ He said: ‘You will have two rewards, the reward for doing it in secret and the reward for doing it openly (so that others may follow your example).’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4226)   

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّ الرَّجُلَ يَعْمَلُ الْعَمَلَ وَيُسِرُّهُ فَإِذَا اطُّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ سَرَّهُ؟ قَالَ «لَهُ أَجْرَانِ أَجْرُ السِّرِّ وَأَجْرُ الْعَلَانِيَةِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: 'When my servant comes closer to Me by a hand's span, I come closer to him by an arm's length. And when he comes closer to Me walking, I come closer to him running. And if he comes to Me running, I come to him hurrying.' And Allah is more generous in forgiving."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا تَقَرَّبَ عَبْدِي مِنِّي شِبْرًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ ذِرَاعًا وَإِذَا تَقَرَّبَ مِنِّي ذِرَاعًا تَقَرَّبْتُ مِنْهُ بَاعًا وَإِذَا أَتَانِي مَشْيًا أَتَيْتُهُ هَرْوَلَةً وَإِنْ هَرْوَلَ سَعَيْتُ إِلَيْهِ وَاللَّهُ أَوْسَعُ بِالْمَغْفِرَةِ»  

Verily, Allah does not treat a believer unjustly in regard to his virtues. He would confer upon him (His blessing) in this world and would give him reward in the Hereafter. And as regards a non-believer, he would be made to taste the reward (of virtue in this world) what he has done for himself so much that when it would be the Hereafter, he would find no virtue for which he should be rewarded. (Using translation from Muslim 2808a)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَظْلِمُ الْمُؤْمِنَ حَسَنَةً يُثَابُ عَلَيْهَا الرِّزْقَ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَيُجْزَى بِهَا فِي الْآخِرَةِ فَأَمَّا الْكَافِرُ فَيَطْعَمُ بِحَسَنَاتِهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَإِذَا أَفْضَى إِلَى الْآخِرَةِ لَمْ تَكُنْ لَهُ حَسَنَةٌ يُعْطَى بِهَا خَيْرًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There was a worshipper from the Children of Israel who worshipped Allah in his monastery for sixty years. Then, rain came and the earth turned green. The worshipper saw this and realized that if he descended from his monastery and mentioned the name of Allah, he would gain even more goodness. So, he descended with a loaf of bread or two loaves of bread, and while he was on the ground, he came across a woman. He continued to speak to her and she spoke to him until nightfall. Then, she lost consciousness and fell. The worshipper went to a pond to perform Ghusl (ritual purification) and a beggar came to him. He gestured to the beggar to take the two loaves of bread or the loaf of bread, then he died. The worshipper's worship for sixty years was weighed against this sin, and the sin outweighed his worship. However, when the loaf or the two loaves of bread were put on the scales along with his good deeds, his good deeds outweighed them and he was forgiven."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «تَعَبَّدَ عَابِدٌ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ فَعَبَدَ اللَّهَ فِي صَوْمَعَتِهِ سِتِّينَ عَامًا فَأَمْطَرَتِ الْأَرْضُ فَاخْضَرَّتْ فَأَشْرَفَ الرَّاهِبُ مِنْ صَوْمَعَتِهِ فقَالَ لَوْ نَزَلْتُ فَذَكَرْتُ اللَّهَ لَازْدَدْتُ خَيْرًا فَنَزَلَ وَمَعَهُ رَغِيفٌ أَوْ رَغِيفَانِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُوَ فِي الْأَرْضِ لَقِيَتْهُ امْرَأَةٌ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يُكَلِّمُهَا وَتُكَلِّمُهُ حَتَّى غَشِيَهَا ثُمَّ أُغْمِيَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَزَلَ الْغَدِيرَ يَسْتَحِمُّ فَجَاءَهُ سَائِلٌ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَأْخُذَ الرَّغِيفَيْنِ أَوِ الرَّغِيفَ ثُمَّ مَاتَ فَوُزِنَتْ عِبَادَةُ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً بِتِلْكَ الزَّنْيَةِ فَرَجَحَتِ الزَّنْيَةُ بِحَسَنَاتِهِ ثُمَّ وُضِعَ الرَّغِيفُ أَوِ الرَّغِيفَانِ مَعَ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَرَجَحَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ فَغُفِرَ لَهُ»  

[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said about Allah, the Exalted and Almighty, He said: "When my servant intends to do a good deed, I record it for him as a good deed even if he does not do it. And if he does it, I record it for him tenfold. And if he intends to do an evil deed, I do not record it unless he does it. And if he does it, I record it as one evil deed."  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «إِذَا تَحَدَّثَ عَبْدِي أَنْ يَعْمَلَ حَسَنَةً فَأَنَا أَكْتُبُهَا لَهُ حَسَنَةً مَا لَمْ يَعْمَلْ فَإِذَا عَمِلَهَا فَأَنَا أَكْتُبُهَا بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا وَإِذَا تَحَدَّثَ بِأَنْ يَعْمَلَ سَيِّئَةً فَأَنَا أَغْفِرُهَا مَا لَمْ يَفْعَلْهَا فَإِذَا فَعَلَهَا فَأَنَا أَكْتُبُهَا مِثْلَهَا»  

[Machine] The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Allah, the Most Blessed and Exalted, says: 'When My servant intends to do a good deed, record it as one good deed. If he actually does it, record it for him as ten good deeds. If he intends to do a bad deed but does not do it, record it as one good deed.'"  

النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا هَمَّ عَبْدِي بِحَسَنَةٍ فَاكْتُبُوهَا حَسَنَةً فَإِذَا عَمِلَهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا وَإِذَا هَمَّ عَبْدِي بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَا تَكْتُبُوهَا بِمِثْلِهَا فَإِنْ تَرَكَهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا حَسَنَةً»  

[Machine] On the authority of Allah's Messenger ﷺ , who said, "When my servant intends to commit a bad deed but does not act upon it, then write it down as a good deed for him. And if he acts upon it, then write it down as a bad deed for him. But if he regrets it and seeks forgiveness, then erase it from him. And when my servant intends to do a good deed but does not do it, then write it down as a good deed for him. And if he does it, then write it down for him with ten times its reward up to seven hundred times."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «إِذَا هَمَّ عَبْدِي بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا لَهُ سَيِّئَةً فَإِنْ تَابَ مِنْهَا فَامْحُوهَا عَنْهُ وَإِذَا هَمَّ عَبْدِي بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا لَهُ بِعَشْرَةِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah said, 'When My servant intends to engage in an evil action, do not record it against him until he actually commits it. If he commits it, then record it as it is. If he refrains from it for My sake, then record it as a good deed. If he intends to perform a good deed, then record it as a good deed for him. And if he actually performs it, then record it as ten times its like, up to seven hundred times.'"  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَالَ إِذَا أَرَادَ عَبْدِي أَنْ يَعْمَلَ سَيِّئَةً فَلَا تَكْتُبُوهَا عَلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَعْمَلْهَا فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا مِثْلَهَا فَإِنْ تَرَكَهَا مِنْ أَجْلِي فَاكْتُبُوهَا حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَعْمَلَ حَسَنَةً فَاكْتُبُوهَا لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا فَاكْتُبُوهَا لَهُ عَشْرَةَ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةِ ضِعْفٍ»  

[Machine] Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "When My slave intends to do a good deed but does not do it, I write it as a complete good deed for him. And if he intends to do a good deed and does it, I write it for him as ten good deeds. If he intends to do an evil deed but does not do it, I write it as a complete good deed for him. And if he intends to do an evil deed and does it, I write it as one evil deed."  

حَدَّثَنَا الْقَعْنَبِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى إِذَا هَمَّ عَبْدِي بِالْحَسَنَةِ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبْتُهَا لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كَتَبْتُهَا لَهُ عَشْرَ حَسَنَاتٍ وَإِنْ هَمَّ عَبْدِي بِسَيِّئَةٍ وَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا لَمْ أَكْتُبْهَا عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كَتَبْتُهَا وَاحِدَةً»  

[Machine] On the authority of Allah, the Most High, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever intends to do a good deed but does not carry it out, Allah will write it down as one complete good deed. If they carry out the intended good deed, Allah will write it down as ten to seven hundred times its reward. If a person intends to commit a bad deed but does not carry it out, Allah will not record it. And if they do carry it out, Allah will record it as one bad deed."  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا قَالَ «مَنْ هَمَّ بِحَسَنَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا كَتَبْتُ لَهُ حَسَنَةً فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كَتَبْتُهَا بِعَشْرِ أَمْثَالِهَا إِلَى سَبْعِ مِائَةٍ وَإِنْ هَمَّ بِسَيِّئَةٍ فَلَمْ يَعْمَلْهَا لَمْ أَكْتُبْ عَلَيْهِ فَإِنْ عَمِلَهَا كَتَبْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ سَيِّئَةً وَاحِدَةً»  

I asked AbuTha'labah al-Khushani: What is your opinion about the verse "Care for yourselves". He said: I swear by Allah, I asked the one who was well informed about it; I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. He said: No, enjoin one another to do what is good and forbid one another to do what is evil. But when you see niggardliness being obeyed, passion being followed, worldly interests being preferred, everyone being charmed with his opinion, then care for yourself, and leave alone what people in general are doing; for ahead of you are days which will require endurance, in which showing endurance will be like grasping live coals. The one who acts rightly during that period will have the reward of fifty men who act as he does. Another version has: He said (The hearers asked:) Messenger of Allah, the reward of fifty of them? He replied: The reward of fifty of you. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4341)   

أَتَيْتُ أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيَّ فَقُلْتُ يَا أَبَا ثَعْلَبَةَ كَيْفَ تَقُولُ فِي هَذِهِ الْآيَةِ {لَا يَضُرُّكُمْ مَنْ ضَلَّ إِذَا اهْتَدَيْتُمْ} ؟ قَالَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ لَقَدْ سَأَلْتَ عَنْهَا خَبِيرًا سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ فقَالَ «بَلِ ائْتَمِرُوا بِالْمَعْرُوفِ وَتَنَاهَوْا عَنِ الْمُنْكَرِ حَتَّى إِذَا رَأَيْتَ شُحًّا مُطَاعًا وَهَوًى مُتَّبَعًا وَدُنْيَا مُؤْثَرَةً وَإِعْجَابَ كُلِّ ذِي رَأْيٍ بِرَأْيِهِ فَعَلَيْكَ نَفْسَكَ وَدَعْ أَمْرَ الْعَوَامِّ فَإِنَّ مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ أَيَّامًا الصَّبْرُ فِيهِنَّ مِثْلُ قَبْضٍ عَلَى الْجَمْرِ لِلْعَامِلِ فِيهِنَّ مِثْلُ أَجْرِ خَمْسِينَ رَجُلًا يَعْمَلُونَ مِثْلَ عَمَلِهِ» قَالَ وَزَادَنِي غَيْرُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَجْرُ خَمْسِينَ مِنْهُمْ؟ قَالَ «خَمْسِينَ مِنْكُمْ»  

A prostitute saw a dog moving around a well on a hot day and hanging out its tongue because of thirst. She drew water for it in her shoe and she was pardoned (for this act of hers). (Using translation from Muslim 2245a)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ «إِنَّ امْرَأَةً بَغِيًّا رَأَتْ كَلْبًا فِي يَوْمٍ حَارٍّ يُطِيفُ بِبِئْرٍ قَدْ أَدْلَعَ لِسَانَهُ مِنَ الْعَطَشِ فَنَزَعَتْ لَهُ فَسَقَتْهُ فَغُفِرَ لَهَا»  

[Machine] "I heard the Prophet ﷺ say more than twenty times, 'Dhul-Kifl, from the Children of Israel, did not hesitate about anything, so he desired a woman and fell into a sin with her. He gave her sixty dinars. When he left her, she cried and repented. Dhul-Kifl regretted his actions and died that same night. In the morning, they found a note on his door saying, 'Indeed, Allah has forgiven you.'"  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ عِشْرِينَ مَرَّةً يَقُولُ «كَانَ ذُو الْكِفْلِ مِنْ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ لَا يَتَوَرَّعُ مِنْ شَيْءٍ فَهَوِيَ امْرَأَةً فَرَاوَدَهَا عَلَى نَفْسِهَا وَأَعْطَاهَا سِتِّينَ دِينَارًا فَلَمَّا جَلَسَ مِنْهَا بَكَتْ وَأُرْعِدَتْ فقَالَ لَهَا مَا لَكِ؟ فَقَالَتْ إِنِّي وَاللَّهِ لَمْ أَعْمَلْ هَذَا الْعَمَلَ قَطُّ وَمَا عَمِلْتُهُ إِلَّا مِنْ حَاجَةٍ قَالَ فَنَدِمَ ذُو الْكِفْلِ وَقَامَ مِنْ غَيْرِ أَنْ يَكُونَ مِنْهُ شَيْءٌ فَأَدْرَكَهُ الْمَوْتُ مِنْ لَيْلَتِهِ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ وَجَدُوا عَلَى بَابِهِ مَكْتُوبًا إِنَّ اللَّهَ قَدْ غَفَرَ لَكَ»  

‘Umar bin Al Khattab reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “Actions are to be judged only by intentions and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle, his emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle but his emigration is to a worldly end at which he aims or to a woman whom he marries , his emigration is to that for which he emigrated. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 2201)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ»  

‘Umar bin Al Khattab reported the Apostle of Allaah ﷺ as saying “Actions are to be judged only by intentions and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle, his emigration is to Allaah and His Apostle but his emigration is to a worldly end at which he aims or to a woman whom he marries , his emigration is to that for which he emigrated.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّةِ وَلِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ لِدُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إِلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] "I was covered with the covering of the Kaaba, and in the mosque, there was a man from Thaqeef, whom the Quraysh people circumcised. They said, 'Do you think that Allah hears our conversation?' One of them said, 'Indeed, He hears us when we raise our voices.' Another man said, 'If He hears us when we raise our voices, then He would also hear us if we lower our voices.' And the other man said, 'I can only see that Allah hears our conversation.' Ibn Mas'ud said, 'So I went to the Prophet of Allahﷺ and informed him of their statement. Then Allah revealed the verse, 'And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins' until the end of the verse.'"  

كُنْتُ مُسْتَتِرًا بِحِجَابِ الْكَعْبَةِ وَفِي الْمَسْجِدِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ ثَقِيفٍ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ فَقَالُوا تَرَوْنَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ حَدِيثَنَا؟ فقَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فقَالَ رَجُلٌ لَئِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا لَيَسْمَعَنَّ إِذَا أَخْفَيْنَا وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ مَا أَرَى إِلَّا أَنَّ اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ حَدِيثَنَا قَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ فَأَتَيْتُ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ بِقَوْلِهِمْ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ {وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ} إِلَى آخِرِ الْآيَةِ  

[Machine] "I was hidden behind the cover of the Ka'aba when three Khath'ami people arrived, who were well-off but lacked knowledge. They began to engage in conversation among themselves. One of them said, 'Do you think Allah hears what we say?' Another said, 'When we raise our voices, He hears us, but when we lower our voices, He does not.' The third one said, 'If He hears us when we raise our voices, then He hears us when we lower them.' I then went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him about this, so Allah revealed the verse, 'And you were not covering yourselves, lest your hearing testify against you or your sight or your skins.''"  

إِنِّي لَمُسْتَتِرٌ بِأَسْتَارِ الْكَعْبَةِ إِذْ جَاءَ ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ ثَقَفِيٌّ وَخَتَنَاهُ قُرَشِيَّانِ كَثِيرٌ شَحْمُ بُطُونِهِمْ قَلِيلٌ فِقْهُهُمْ فَتَحَدَّثُوا الْحَدِيثَ بَيْنَهُمْ فقَالَ أَحَدُهُمْ أَتَرَى اللَّهَ يَسْمَعُ مَا قُلْنَا؟ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا سَمِعَ وَإِذَا خَفَضْنَا لَمْ يَسْمَعْ وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ إِنْ كَانَ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا رَفَعْنَا فَإِنَّهُ يَسْمَعُ إِذَا خَفَضْنَا فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ «{وَمَا كُنْتُمْ تَسْتَتِرُونَ أَنْ يَشْهَدَ عَلَيْكُمْ سَمْعُكُمْ وَلَا أَبْصَارُكُمْ وَلَا جُلُودُكُمْ}» الْآيَةَ  

“I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘Deeds are like vessels. If the lower part is good then the upper part will be good, and if the lower part is bad then the upper part will be bad.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4199)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِنَّمَا الْعَمَلُ كَالْوِعَاءِ إِذَا طَابَ أَعْلَاهُ طَابَ أَسْفَلُهُ وَإِذَا خَبُثَ أَعْلَاهُ خَبُثَ أَسْفَلُهُ»  

“I do not know except that he attributed it to the Prophet ﷺ” – “Allah says: ‘O son of Adam, devote yourself to My worship, and I will fill your heart with contentment and take care of your poverty; but if you do not do that, then I will fill your heart with worldly concerns and will not take care of your poverty.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4107)   

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ جَلَّ وَعَلَا يَقُولُ يَا ابْنَ آدَمَ تَفَرَّغْ لِعِبَادَتِي أَمْلَأْ صَدْرَكَ غِنًى وَأَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ وَإِنْ لَا تَفْعَلْ مَلَأْتُ يَدَكَ شُغْلًا وَلَمْ أَسُدَّ فَقْرَكَ»  

Verily Allah does not look to your faces and your wealth but He looks to your heart and to your deeds. (Using translation from Muslim 2564c)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يَنْظُرُ إِلَى صُوَرِكُمْ وَأَمْوَالِكُمْ وَلَكِنْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى قُلُوبِكُمْ وَأَعْمَالِكُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, said: 'I am the best of partners. Whoever performs a deed and associates others with Me in it, I am free from it, and it is for the partner with whom he associated Me.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «قَالَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى أَنَا خَيْرُ الشُّرَكَاءِ مَنْ عَمِلَ عَمَلًا فَأَشْرَكَ فِيهِ غَيْرِي فَأَنَا مِنْهُ بَرِئٌ هُوَ لِلَّذِي أَشْرَكَ بِهِ»  

[Machine] A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, will Allah hold us accountable for what we used to do in the time of ignorance?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Whoever does good in Islam will not be held accountable for what they did in the time of ignorance, and whoever does evil in Islam will be held accountable for both the past and the present."  

رَجُلٌ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُؤَاخِذُ اللَّهُ أَحَدَنَا بِمَا كَانَ يَعْمَلُ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ أَحْسَنَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ لَمْ يُؤَاخَذْ بِمَا عَمِلَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ وَمَنْ أَسَاءَ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ أُخِذَ بِالْأَوَّلِ وَالْآخِرِ»  

I asked Messenger of Allah ﷺ about virtue and vice. He said: Virtue is a kind disposition and vice is what rankles in your heart and that you disapprove that people should come to know of it. (Using translation from Muslim 2553a)   

سَمِعْتُ النَّوَّاسَ بْنَ سَمْعَانَ الْأَنْصَارِيَّ يَقُولُ سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنِ الْبِرِّ وَالْإِثْمِ فقَالَ «الْبِرُّ حُسْنُ الْخُلُقِ وَالْإِثْمُ مَا حَكَّ فِي نَفْسِكَ وَكَرِهْتَ أَنْ يَطَّلِعَ عَلَيْهِ النَّاسُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Allah will mention a group of people in this world who are reclining on prepared beds and admit them into the highest levels of Paradise."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَيَذْكُرَنَّ اللَّهُ قَوْمًا فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى الْفُرُشِ الْمُمَهَّدَةِ يُدْخِلُهُمُ الدَّرَجَاتِ الْعُلَى»  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "A Muslim is the one who avoids harming Muslims with his tongue and hands. And a Muhajir (emigrant) is the one who gives up (abandons) all what Allah has forbidden." (Using translation from Bukhārī 10)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ»  

Verily a person asked the Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) who amongst the Muslims was better. Upon this (the Holy Prophet) remarked: From whose hand and tongue the Muslims are safe. (Using translation from Muslim 40)  

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الْمُسْلِمِينَ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ «مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ»  

"There was a woman who performed Salat behind the Messenger of Allah ﷺ who was the most beautiful among the people. Some of the people would go forward to the first line so as not to see her. Others would go back to the last line so when he would bow, he could look at her from under his armpit. So Allah revealed: Indeed We know those who try to come forward among you, and We know those who try to go back (15:24). (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3122)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ كَانَتْ تُصَلِّي خَلْفَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ امْرَأَةٌ حَسْنَاءُ مِنْ أَحْسَنِ النَّاسِ فَكَانَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ يَتَقَدَّمُ فِي الصَّفِّ الْأَوَّلِ لِأَنْ لَا يَرَاهَا وَيَسْتَأْخِرُ بَعْضُهُمْ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِي الصَّفِّ الْمُؤَخَّرِ فَكَانَ إِذَا رَكَعَ نَظَرَ مِنْ تَحْتِ إِبْطِهِ فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ فِي شَأْنِهَا {وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَقْدِمِينَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَقَدْ عَلِمْنَا الْمُسْتَأْخِرِينَ}  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Shall I not inform you about something that expiates sins and increases good deeds?" They said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said, "Performing the ablution perfectly even in difficult circumstances, frequenting the mosque despite difficulties, praying after prayers, and that no one of you leaves his house in a state of purification until he comes to the mosque and prays with the Muslims or with the Imam, and then waits for the following prayer except that the angels say, 'O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! Have mercy on him.' When you stand up for prayer, straighten your rows and close the gaps. When the Imam says 'Allahu Akbar', say 'Allahu Akbar' as well, for I see you from behind. And when he says, 'Allah listens to the one who praises Him,' say, 'Our Lord! Praise be to You, and Yours is the praise.' The best rows for men are the front rows and the worst are the back rows, and the best rows for women are the back rows and the worst are the front rows. O women! When the men prostrate, protect your gaze from the dress of the men."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «أَلَا أَدُلُّكُمْ عَلَى شَيْءٍ يُكَفِّرُ الْخَطَايَا وَيَزِيدُ فِي الْحَسَنَاتِ؟ » قَالُوا بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ «إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ أَوِ الطُّهُورِ فِي الْمَكَارِهِ وَكَثْرَةُ الْخُطَا إِلَى هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ وَالصَّلَاةُ بَعْدَ الصَّلَاةِ وَمَا مِنْ أَحَدٍ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ الْمَسْجِدَ فَيُصَلِّي مَعَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ أَوْ مَعَ الْإِمَامِ ثُمَّ يَنْتَظِرُ الصَّلَاةَ الَّتِي بَعْدَهَا إِلَّا قَالَتِ الْمَلَائِكَةُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لَهُ اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْهُ فَإِذَا قُمْتُمْ إِلَى الصَّلَاةِ فَاعْدِلُوا صُفُوفَكُمْ وَسُدُّوا الْفُرَجَ فَإِذَا كَبَّرَ الْإِمَامُ فَكَبِّرُوا فَإِنِّي أَرَاكُمْ مِنْ وَرَائِي وَإِذَا قَالَ سَمِعَ اللَّهُ لِمَنْ حَمِدَهُ فَقُولُوا رَبَّنَا وَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ الْمُقَدَّمُ وَشَرُّ صُفُوفِ الرِّجَالِ الْمُؤَخَّرُ وَخَيْرُ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ الْمُؤَخَّرُ وَشَرُّ صُفُوفِ النِّسَاءِ الْمُقَدَّمُ يَا مَعْشَرَ النِّسَاءِ إِذَا سَجَدَ الرِّجَالُ فَاحْفَظْنَ أَبْصَارَكُنَّ مِنْ عَوْرَاتِ الرِّجَالِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whatever Allah dislikes from you, do not do it when you are alone."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَا كَرِهَ اللَّهُ مِنْكَ شَيْئًا فَلَا تَفْعَلْهُ إِذَا خَلَوْتَ»  

"My father informed me, from Ibn Mina, from ABu Sa'eed bin Abi Fadalah Al-Ansari - and he was one of the Companions - who said: 'I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "When Allah gathers the people on the Day of Judgement - a Day in which there is no doubt in - a caller will call out: 'Whoever committed Shirk in any of his deeds he did for Allah - then let him seek his reward from other than Allah. For indeed Allah is the most free of the partners from any need of Shirk." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3154)  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا جَمَعَ اللَّهُ الْأَوَّلِينَ وَالْآخِرِينَ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ لِيَوْمٍ لَا رَيْبَ فِيهِ نَادَى مُنَادٍ مَنْ كَانَ أَشْرَكَ فِي عَمَلِهِ لِلَّهِ أَحَدًا فَلْيَطْلُبْ ثَوَابَهُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ أَغْنَى الشُّرَكَاءِ عَنِ الشِّرْكِ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Give glad tidings to this Ummah (nation) with victory, honor, and empowerment. Whoever among them works for the sake of the Hereafter and prioritizes it over worldly matters, will have no share in the Hereafter."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَشِّرْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ بِالنَّصْرِ وَالسَّنَاءِ وَالتَّمْكِينِ فَمَنْ عَمِلَ مِنْهُمْ عَمَلَ الْآخِرَةِ لِلدُّنْيَا لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُ فِي الْآخِرَةِ نَصِيبٌ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I have not heard anyone other than him (referring to someone) saying, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said.' So, I approached him closely and heard him saying, 'The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'Whoever listens to me, Allah will make him hear, and whoever sees me in a dream, Allah will make him see.'"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَلَمْ أَسْمَعْ أَحَدًا غَيْرَهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَدَنَوْتُ قَرِيبًا مِنْهُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَمَّعَ يُسَمِّعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ رَاءَى يُرَائِي اللَّهُ بِهِ»  

“Whoever wants to be heard of, Allah will make him heard of, and whoever wants to be seen, Allah will show him (i.e., expose his real motives).” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 4207)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ سَمَّعَ يُسَمِّعُ اللَّهُ بِهِ وَمَنْ رَاءَى يُرَائِي اللَّهُ بِهِ»
