Volume 8, Book 73, Number 47. |
|

on the Day of Judgment...They are: a just ruler, a young man who passed

attached to the mosque...two people who love each other for the sake of
God...a man who is invited to sin...but declines, saying 'I fear
God'...one who spends his charity in secret, without making a show...and
one who remembers God in solitude so that his eyes overflow."

"(Allah) has revealed to me that you should adopt humility so
that no one oppresses another." Riyadh-us-Salaheen, Hadith 1589. |
|
"It is a fine thing when a believer praises and thanks God if
good comes to him, and praises God and shows endurance if smitten by
affliction. The believer is rewarded for (every good action), even for
the morsel he raises to his wife's mouth." Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith
537. |
|
"You have seen nothing like marriage for increasing the love
between two people." Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 921. |
|
"By his good character, a believer will attain the degree of one
who prays during the night and fasts during the day." Abu Dawood,
Hadith 2233. |
|
"He who has been a ruler over ten people will be brought shackled
on the Day of Resurrection, until the justice (by which he ruled)
loosens his chains or tyranny brings him to destruction." Al-Tirmidhi,

"Happy is the man who avoids dissension, but how fine is the man

|
"While a man was walking along a road, he became very thirsty and
found a well. He lowered himself into the well, drank, and came out.
Then [he saw] a dog protruding its tongue out with thirst. The man said:
'This dog has become exhausted from thirst in the same way as I.' He
lowered himself into the well again and filled his shoe with water. He
gave the dog some water to drink. He thanked God, and [his sins were]
forgiven.' The Prophet was then asked: 'Is there a reward for us in our
animals?' He said: 'There is a reward in every living thing.' "
Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 3, Number 104. This hadith is remarkable because
a dog is a despised animal among Muslims. Showing mercy to a dog would
be an exceptional activity. |

will be those who praise God in prosperity and adversity." Al-Tirmidhi,
Hadith 730. |
|

4, Number 1. |
|
"God does not judge you according to your bodies and appearances,
but He looks into your hearts and observes your deeds." |
|
" [The man asked] 'Who is more entitled to be treated with the
best companionship by me?' The Prophet said, 'Your mother.' The man
said. 'Who is next?' The Prophet said, 'Your mother.' The man further
said, 'Who is next?' The Prophet said, 'Your mother.' The man asked for
the fourth time, 'Who is next?' The Prophet said, 'Your father.' "
Sahih al-Bukhari, 8:2. |
|
"Sometimes I enter prayer and I intend to prolong it, but then I
hear a child crying, and I shorten my prayer thinking of the distress of
the child's mother."
Fiqh us-Sunnah, Volume 2, Number 51b. |
|
" 'I and the person who looks after an orphan and provides for
him, will be in Paradise like this,' putting his index and middle
fingers together." Sahih Al-Bukhari 8:34. 4 |
