The Second Hadith
Also from the route
of ^Umar who said:
While we were sitting one day with the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, a man appeared in our session with very white
clothes and very black hair. He did not have any signs of traveling on him, and
no one of us knew him. He sat down before the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and placed his knees against the Prophet's and
placed his palms on his thighs. He said: O Muhammad inform me about Islam. The Messenger of Allah , sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam said: <<Islam is to testify that no
one is God except Allah and that Muhammad is the
Messenger of Allah , to
perform the prayers, to pay Zakat, to fast Ramadan and to
offer Pilgrimage if able.>> He said: you are
truthful. We were surprised at the fact that he asked him and corroborated his
truthfulness! He said: Inform me about the Belief. The Prophet said: <<To believe in Allah, His Angels, His Books, His Messengers, The Day of
Judgment, and Destiny—what is good and what is evil. He said: You are truthful.>> He said: Inform me about Ihsan (proficiency
of worship.) <<The Prophet

if you do not, then know that He Sees you.>> He
said: Inform me about the time of occurrence of the Day of Judgment.
The Prophet said: <<The one whom
you asked does not know any more about it than the one asking.>> He said: Inform me about
its signs. The Prophet said: <<To witness the
slave woman give birth to her female owner, and the bare
foot, unclothed, impoverished shepherds build high
rise buildings.>> Then the man
left. I stayed for a lengthy period of time then the Prophet said: <<O ^Umar do you
know the one who was asking?>> I said Allah and His
Messenger know best. The Prophet said: <<He
was Jibril; he came
to teach you the matters of your Religion.>> Narrated by Muslim.

appearance of the one of you would be completed in ones
mother's womb for forty days as a Nutfah (joined fertilized sperm.) Then for a similar duration would be as an ^Alaqah (bloody
clot.) Then for a similar duration
would be as a Mudghah (piece of flesh.) Then the Angel
would be sent to blow the soul into it, and would be ordered to write down
four matters: ones sustenance, death time, deeds, and whether one would die a
blasphemer or a believer. I swear by Allah, the One whom no one is God but Him, the one of you
would perform the deeds that appear to be the deeds of the
People of Paradise until a cubit separates one
from entering it, then what is written in the Guarded Tablet happens
and one would do the deeds of the People of Hellfire, and would enter it. And
the one of you would perform the deeds of the People of Hellfire until a cubit
separates one from entering it, then what is written in the Guarded Tablet happens
and one would do the deeds of the People of Paradise, and would enter it. Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

كُلُوا مِنَ
الطَّيِّبَاتِ
وَاعْمَلُوا
صَالِحًا (It means: [O Messengers, eat

الَّذِينَ
آمَنُواْ
كُلُواْ مِن
طَيِّبَاتِ

Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam. He said: <<O Boy, I will
teach you certain matters. Be keen to apply the orders of Allah, and then Allah will protect
you. If you obey the orders of Allah, then Allah will help
you. If you want to ask someone, it is better
to ask Allah. If you
seek help, then seek the help of Allah. Do know that if the entire nation agreed to benefit
you in something, they would only benefit you in something that Allah decreed
and had it written for you. And if they agreed to harm you in something,
they would only harm you in something that Allah decreed
and had it written for you. This decree is already established, for the
writing pens have been lifted and the journals have dried out.>> Narrated by at-Tirmidhiyy and he

associated with distress and along with hardships come facilities.>>

that, would I enter Paradise? He said: <<Yes.>> Narrated by Muslim.
The Twenty Third Hadith
From the route of Abu Malik al-Harith bin ^Asim al-Ash^ariyy, may Allah accept
his deeds who said: the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: Ablution has half the reward of 'Iman (belief and/or prayer), saying al-hamdulillah (praising Allah) fills the Balance with reward, the reward of saying subhanallah and al-hamdulillah (praising Allah and
clearing Him from non befitting attributes) fills what
is between the heavens and earth , prayers prevent from sinning and guide to
correctness, charity stands as a proof of belief for the donor, patience
provides enlightenment along the correct path, the Qur'an either
substantiates your good doings or substantiates your bad doings. Each person
endeavors and either attempts to be obedient to Allah and
save himself from torture, or attempts to follow the devil and
ones desires and deserves the torture. Narrated by Muslim.
The Twenty Fourth Hadith
From the route of Abu Dharr al-Ghifariyy, may Allah accept his
deeds, from the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, who narrated from Allah , the exalted, that He said: [O My slaves, I am clear of being
Attributed with injustice and I have decreed the prohibition of injustice
amongst you, so do not do injustice to one another. O My slaves, all of you
will be misguided except the one whom I guide, so seek My guidance
and I will guide you. O My slaves, all of you will be hungry except
the one whom I feed, so seek My sustenance
and I will sustain you. O My slaves, all of you will be naked except the one
whom I clothe, so seek Me to clothe
you and I will. O My slaves, you err at night and during the
day and I forgive all sins, so seek My forgiveness and I will forgive you. O My slaves,
you shall not attain to be harmful to Me and harm Me and you shall not attain to
be beneficial to Me and benefit Me. O My slaves, had the first till the last
among you, humans and jinn, been as pious as the one most pious among you, that
would not have added to my Dominion anything. O My slaves, had the first till
the last among you, humans and jinn, been as wicked as the one most wicked
among you, that would not have decreased anything of My Dominion. O My slaves,
had the first till the last among you, humans and jinn, stood on a single
piece of land and asked Me, and I had answered each one his need , that would not
have decreased what I have, except if the needle immersed in the ocean would
decrease any of it. O My slaves, it is your deeds that I keep for you and then I
judge you for them. The one who encounters goodness let him be thankful to Allah and the
one who encounters other than that let him only blame himself. Narrated by Muslim.
The Twenty Fifth Hadith
From the route of Abu Dharr, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said that some people among the Companions of
the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, asked the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam: O
Messenger of Allah the
wealthy people have engulfed the rewards, they pray as we
do, fast as we do and spend their excess money in
charity. He said: << Is it not the
case that Allah has provided you that
which you can spend in charity? There is a charity in every Subhanallah one says,
and every Allah Akbar one says, and
every al-Hamdulillah one says,
and every la ilaha illallah one says,
and every lawful matter one orders, and every unlawful matter one
prohibits, and every sexual intercourse with ones
lawful woman.>> They
said: O Messenger of Allah, would one be rewardable for
having sexual intercourse with ones lawful woman? He said: <<Do you not observe that if one had sexual
intercourse with an unlawful woman one would be sinful, likewise
if one would have sexual intercourse with ones
lawful woman one would be rewardable.>> Narrated by Muslim.
The Twenty Sixth Hadith
From the route of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: <<The one among
the people should, every day the sun rises, do a good deed with
every joint in ones body. To justly reconcile a
dispute among two people entails a reward, assisting the man with his riding
animal, loading his luggage on it or helping him mount it, entails
a reward, every step one takes to go and pray entails a reward, removing the
harmful matter
The Twenty Seventh Hadith
From the route of an-Nawwas bin Sam^an, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said that the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: << Good manners are
the foundation for philanthropy, and the sinful matter is the
matter which wavers inside of you and hate that it would
be exposed to the people.>> Narrated by Muslim.
From the route of Wabisah bin Ma^bad, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: I went to the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and he said: <<Have
you come to inquire about philanthropy?>> I said: Yes. He said: << Look inside your heart for a valid sign.
Philanthropy is the set of matters ones soul and heart
feel comfortable with. Sinning is what burdens oneself and wavers in
the chest, even if people attempt to justify for you and give you an edict about
it.>> This Hadith is hasan and is narrated in the Musnads of Imams Ahmad bin Hanbal and ad-Darimiyy with a hasan chain of
narration.
The Twenty Eighth Hadith
From the route of Abu Najih al-^Irbad bin Sariyah, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, preached us a far-reaching preach that alerted the
hearts and made our eyes shed tears. We said: O Messenger of Allah, as if this is a farewell preach, so advise us. He
said: << I advise you to be pious to Allah. Listen to the rules and obey the rules even
if a Habashiyy (Abyssinian) slave
was to rule over you. The one among you who shall live
long enough shall witness many differences, so
adhere to my creed and the creed of the rightly guided Caliphs after me and
cling to it with your canine teeth. Be ware of Innovations, because
most Innovations belong to misguidance.>> Narrated by Abu Dawud and at-Tirmidhiyy and he
said the Hadith is hasan sahih.
The Twenty ninth Hadith
From
the route of Mu^adh bin Jabal, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: I said: O Messenger of Allah inform me
about a deed that makes me enter Paradise and keeps me away from
Hellfire. He said: <<You have asked
about a great matter which is easy for the one whom Allah willed to
make it easy for him. Worship Allah and do not
associate anything with Him. Perform the prayers. Pay Zakat. Fast Ramadan and offer pilgrimage
to the sacred house.>> Thereafter He said: <<Should I guide you to the ports of goodness? They
are: Fasting and it is a shielding equipment, charity and it puts out
the sin as the water extinguishes the fire and the prayer of one in the
middle of the night.>> Then he
recited:
{ تَتَجَافَى
جُنُوبُهُمْ
عَنِ
الْمَضَاجِعِ
يَدْعُونَ
رَبَّهُمْ
خَوْفًا
وَطَمَعًا
وَمِمَّا
رَزَقْنَاهُمْ
يُنفِقُونَ}
{َلا
تَعْلَمُ
نَفْسٌ مَّا
أُخْفِيَ
لَهُم مِّن
قُرَّةِ
أَعْيُنٍ
جَزَاء بِمَا
كَانُوا
يَعْمَلُون }
It Means: [Their sides
depart their beds and they make supplication to their Lord in fear and hopefullness, and they spend for the sake of Allah
out of the sustenance that we Provided for them. No soul shall come to grips with the delightful enjoyments We have reserved for them as a reward for their
good doings.]
Then he said: <<Do not you want me to tell you about the head,
backbone and apex of all of that?>> I said: Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah. He said: <<The head of
all of that is Islam and its backbone is the prayers
and the apex of it is to struggle for the sake of Allah.>> Then he said: <<Do not you want me to tell
you about what makes all of that sound and acceptable?>> I said: Yes indeed O Prophet of Allah, so he held his tongue and
said: <<Protect yourself from this.>> I
said: O Prophet of Allah are we
accountable for what we say? He said: <<Alas!
Is there anything but the tongue that makes people drop on their faces (or
he said: their noses) in hell fire?>> Narrated by at-Tirmidhiyy and he
said this Hadith is hasan sahih.
The Thirtieth Hadith
From the route of Abu Tha^labah al-Khushaniyy Jurthum bin Nashir, may Allah accept
his deeds, from the Messenger of Allah , sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, who said: <<Allah , the Exalted,
decreed obligatory matters so do not waist them, and set parameters so do not violate

fetch them.>> This Hadith is hasan and
narrated by ad-Daraqutniyy and others.
The Thirty First Hadith
From the route of Abu al-^Abbas Sahl bin Sa^d as-Sa^idiyy, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: A man came to the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, who
said: O Messenger of Allah , guide
me to a deed which if I do Allah will
Love me (accept my deeds) and the people will love me? He said: <<Lead a hermit like life in this world and Allah will
Love you and be humble about what people usually possess and the
people will love you.>> This Hadith is hasan and
narrated by Ibn Majah and others
with hasan chains of narration.
The Thirty Second Hadith

deeds, who said that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: <<It is unlawful for one to harm another and it is
unlawful to harm one another.>> This Hadith is hasan and narrated by Ibn Majah and ad-Daraqutniyy and
others with a Musnad chain of
narration (the chain goes back to the Prophet). Malik narrated it in the Muwatta' in a Mursal chain of
narration from the route of ^Amr bin Yahya from hi
The Thirty Third Hadith
From the route of Ibn ^Abbas, may Allah accept
both of their deeds, who said that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: <<If people were to be given according to their claims
then there would be men who would claim the money of others and that
death penalty is due on them. However, the burden of
proof is on the plaintiff and the oath is incumbent upon the defendant.>> This Hadith is hasan and is narrated in the
same above stated terminology by al-Bayhaqiyy and
others. Part of this terminology is narrated in the two sahih books.
The Thirty
From the route of Abu Sa^id al-Khudriyy, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: I heard the messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, say: <<The one of you who sees an unlawful matter is
obligated to change it with his hands, and if
unable then with his tongue, and if unable then he is obligated to denounce
it in his heart, which is the least that he can do.>> Narrated by Muslim.
The Thirty Fifth Hadith
From the route of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: << Do not envy one another, and do not cheat one another, and
do not hate one another, and do not turn away from one another and do not
under sell the concluded sales of one another. O Worshippers of Allah, be brethrens. The Muslim is
a brother to the Muslim and does not do him injustice, and does not turn him
down, and does not lie to him and does not look down upon him. Piety is right in
here (pointing thrice to his chest). It is enough evil for one to look down upon
his Muslim brother. All what involves a Muslim whether his life, money or
elements of integrity (reputation, wife, honor etc...) is unlawful to be violated
by another Muslim.>> Narrated by Muslim.
The Thirty Sixth Hadith
From the route of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah accept
his deeds, from the Prophet, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, who said: <<The
one who relieves a Muslim from one of the worldly
distressing matters Allah will relieve him from one
of the distressing matters of the Hereafter. The one who facilitates the
situation of an insolvent person Allah will
facilitate his affairs in this world and in the Hereafter. The one
who covers the shortcomings of a Muslim Allah will
cover his shortcomings in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah will assist the slave
so long the slave assists his brother. The one who follows a path
seeking knowledge Allah will facilitate a route
for him to Paradise. Each time a people gather in one of
the sacred houses of Allah, reciting
and studying among themselves the book of Allah, peace and blessings will over shower them
and the Angels will rub against them and Allah will have
them praised among the Angels. The one whose deeds delay him from sound
performance shall not rectify his performance with his good lineage.>> Narrated by Muslim in the aforementioned
terminology.
The Thirty Seventh Hadith
From the route of Ibn ^Abbas, may Allah accept
both of their deeds, from the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, who
said, narrating from Allah : <<Allah decreed the good and the bad deeds and
made them known so the one who attempts to do a good deed and does not do it, Allah will have it recorded with Him as a complete good
deed, and if he attempted to do it and did it , Allah will have
it recorded with Him as ten good deeds up to seven hundred folds up
to multitudes of folds. If one attempts to commit
a bad deed and does not do it, Allah will have it
recorded with Him as a complete good deed, and if he attempts to commit it and
does it, Allah will have it
recorded with Him as one bad deed.>> Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim in their
books of as-Sahih in the aforementioned
terminology.
An-Nawawi comments
the following: "So observe my brother, may Allah guide us and you
to goodness, the great generosity of Allah and think
about the aforementioned terms. His saying << recorded with Him>> reflects His
special care and His saying <<complete>> reflect
corroboration and increased special care. He said about committing
the bad deed which if one attempts to commit it
and does not do it: << Allah will have it
recorded with Him as a complete good deed>>, so
He corroborated it with the word <<complete>>, and
if he does it <<
Allah will have
it recorded with Him as one bad deed>> so
He corroborated lessening it with <<one>> and did not
corroborate it with <<complete>>. I Praise Allah and
express gratitude to Him who is clear from all non befitting
attributes while I admit that we are unable to
praise Him the Praise that is due to Him. Allah is the
One who guides to good endings."
The Thirty Eighth Hadith
From the route of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah accept
his deeds, who said: the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: << Allah , the
exalted, said: ' The one who declares enmity upon one of My Waliyys ( highly
pious slaves) then let him know that
he is declaring war against Me. The one of My slaves
will not be able to be closely obedient to Me, in a matter more accepted to
Me, than what I had decreed to be obligatory upon him. My slave
will be diligently engaged in supererogatory acts of worship until I accept
him, and if I accept him I will grant him special powers in the hearing with
which he hears, the sight with which he sees, the hand with which he touches,
the foot with which he walks, and if he asks Me for something I will answer
him, and if he seeks refuge with Me I will protect him.' >> Narrated
by al-Bukhari.
The Thirty Ninth Hadith
From the route of Ibn ^Abbas, may Allah accept
both of their deeds, who said: the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: << Allah does not hold my nation

The Fortieth Hadith
From the route of Ibn ^Umar, may Allah accepts
both of their deeds, who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, held my
shoulder and said: << Be in this life like
a stranger or a passer by.>> Ibn ^Umar, may Allah accepts both
of their deeds, used to say: 'If the night befalls you do not
await the break of the morning, and if the morning breaks on you do
not await the nightfall. Draw on your health for your ill times and on your life
for your time of death.' The Hadith is narrated by al-Bukhari.
The Forty First Hadith
From the route of Abu Muhammad ^Abdillah bin ^Amr bin
al-^As, may Allah accepts
both of their deeds, who said: The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: << The one among you shall not have a complete belief

The Forty Second Hadith
From the route of Anas, may Allah accepts
his deeds, who said: I have heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, say: << Allah , the
Exalted, said: ' O son of Adam, so long as you make supplication to Me
and plead with Me with hopefulness, I shall forgive you regardless of your
sins. O son of Adam if
your sins reach the sky and then you ask for My forgiveness, I shall forgive you. O son of Adam if you come on the Day of Judgment with sins
that almost fill the earth but as a believer, clear of associating
partners with Me, I shall reciprocate with
forgiveness that almost fill the earth.>> This Hadith was
narrated by at-Tirmidhiyy who said: This Hadith is hasan sahih.
