The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "(1) Purification is a part of faith; (2) al-ḥamdu lillāh (all praise and gratitude is for Allah alone) fills the scale, (3) subḥān Allāh (Perfection is to Allah alone) and al-ḥamdu lillāh fill up what is between the heavens and the earth; (4) prayer is a light; (5) charity is proof ˹of one's faith˺; (6) patience is brightness; and (7) the Quran is evidence either for you or against you."
"All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby either earning salvation or earning destruction."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «(١) الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ، (٢) وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ، (٣) وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ» أَوْ «تَمْلأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، (٤) وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ، (٥) وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ، (٦) وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ، (٧) وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ۔»
«كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا۔»
"Isbagh Al-Wudu is half of faith; Alhamdu lillah (praise be to Allah) fills the balance; the Tasbih and the Takbir fill the heavens and Earth; the Salah is light; the Zakah is a sign (of sincerity); patience is an illuminating torch; and the Qur'an is proof, either for you or against you."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِسْبَاغُ الْوُضُوءِ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَالتَّسْبِيحُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ يَمْلأُ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضَ وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ وَالزَّكَاةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ
“Al-Wudu is half of faith, and All praise is due to Allah (Al-Ḥamdulillāh) fills the Scale, and Glory is to Allah and all praise is to Allah (Subḥān Allāh wal-Ḥamdulillāh)’ fill” - or - “fills what is between the heavens and the earth, and Salat is light and charity is an evidence, and patience is an illumination, and the Quran is a proof for you or against you. And all people shall come to the morning selling their souls, either setting it free or destroying it.”
رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْوُضُوءُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ أَوْ تَمْلأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا

عَدَّهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فِي يَدِي أَوْ فِي يَدِهِ التَّسْبِيحُ نِصْفُ الْمِيزَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ يَمْلَؤُهُ وَالتَّكْبِيرُ يَمْلأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالأَرْضِ وَالصَّوْمُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ وَالطُّهُورُ نِصْفُ الإِيمَانِ
The Messenger of Allah said: "Performing ablution properly is half of faith, saying Al-Hamdu Lillah fills the Scale (of good deeds), saying Subhan-Allah and Allahu Akbar fills the heavens and the earth, prayer is light, Zakat is proof, patience is brightness and the Qur'an is proof for you or against you. Every person goes out in the morning to sell his soul, so he either frees it or destroys it.'"

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: Cleanliness is half of faith and al-Hamdu Lillah (all praise and gratitude is for Allah alone) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (Glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Lillah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Holy Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you. All men go out early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby setting themselves free or destroying themselves. (Using translation from Muslim 223)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ الطُّهْورُ شَطْرُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ تَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالصَّلَاةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Purification is half of faith." He mentioned its equivalent, except that he said, "Prayer is evidence and charity is light."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الْإِيمَانِ۔» فَذَكَرَ مِثْلَهُ إِلَّا أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «الصَّلَاةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ نُورٌ۔»
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ counted them out in my hand” - or - “in his hand: ‘At-Tasbīḥ is half of the Scale, and “All praise is due to Allah (Al-Ḥamdulillāh)” fills it, and At-Takbīr (Allāhu Akbar) fills what is between the sky and the earth, and fasting is half of patience, and purification is half of faith.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3519)

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ عَقَدَ فِي يَدِهِ أَوْ فِي يَدِ السُّلَمِيِّ فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ نِصْفُ الْمِيزَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ يَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالطُّهُورُ نِصْفُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالصَّوْمُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ

"Glory be to Allah, (it fills) half of the scale.
Praise be to Allah, (it fills) the scale.
Allah is the greatest, (it fills) what is between the heavens and the earth.
Purification is half of faith.
عَقَدَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فِي يَدِهِ أَوْ فِي يَدِي فَقَالَ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ نِصْفُ الْمِيزَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ تَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالطُّهُورُ نِصْفُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالصَّوْمُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Purity is half of faith, and praise be to Allah fills the scale. Subhan Allah and Alhamdulillah fill what is between the heavens and the earth. Salat is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith), and patience is illumination, and the Quran is a proof for you or against you. Every person goes out in the morning to sell his soul, so he either frees it or destroys it." And this wording is from the hadith of Musa ibn Ismail, and Muslim said in his hadith: There is no god but Allah, and Allah is the greatest, filling what is between the sky and the earth.
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الطَّهُورُ نِصْفُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ يَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالصَّلَاةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِياءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ وَكُلُّ إِنْسَانٍ يَغْدُو فَمُبْتَاعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ بَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُوبِقُهَا» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ مُوسَى بْنِ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَقَالَ مُسْلِمٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ
[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, he said, "Purification is half of faith, and praise be to Allah fills the scales, and glorified be Allah and Allah is the greatest fills what is between the heavens and the earth. And prayer is light, and charity is proof, and patience is illumination."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الطَّهُورُ شَطْرُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ يَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالصَّلَاةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِياءٌ»

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, "Purification is half of faith, praise be to Allah fills the scale, glory be to Allah and praise be to Allah fills what is between the heavens and the earth, and fasting is a shield, and patience is a light, and charity is a proof, and the Quran is an argument for you or against you. All people go out early in the morning and sell themselves, freeing it or destroying it."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَاللهُ أَكْبَرُ تَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ وَالصَّوْمُ جُنَّةٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا
[Machine] And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Purification is half of faith, and Allah has replaced 'All praise is due to Allah' with 'There is no god but Allah'. And He has replaced 'Fasting is a shield' with 'Prayer is light'."

"إِسْبَاغُ الوَضُوءِ شطرُ الإِيمانِ، والحمدُ لله تملأُ الميزانَ، والتسبيحُ والتكبيرُ يَمْلأُ السَّمواتِ والأرضَ، والصلاةُ نُورُ، والزكاةُ بُرْهانُ، والصبرُ ضياءُ، والقُرآنُ حجةٌ لك أو عليكَ، كُل النَّاسِ يغْدُو فبائع نفسه، فمُعتقها أو مُوبقهَا ".
