By the One in Whose Hand Muhammad's soul is! There is nobody of this Ummah, be they Jewish or Christian, who hears of me and then dies without believing in what I was sent with except that he will be among the people of Hellfire May the curse of Allah be upon the Jews and the Christians, for they took the graves of their prophets as places of worship - He wanted to warn against what they did - If it were not for that, his grave would be made prominent; yet, he feared it might be taken as a place of worship O Allah, do not make my grave an idol that is worshiped. Allah's wrath was intense upon a people who took the graves of their prophets as places of worship The greater the tribulation, the greater the reward. When Allah loves people, He tests them. So whoever who is content, for him is content; and whoever is discontent, for him is discontent Of all the associates, I am the most able to dispense with association. If anyone does a deed in which he associates anyone else with Me, I shall abandon him to what he associates with Me I stand acquitted before Allah that I took anyone of you as an intimate friend, for Allah has taken me as an intimate friend just as he took Ibrahīm as an intimate friend. Had I taken anyone from my nation as an intimate friend, I would have taken Abu Bakr as an intimate friend Verily, Allah, the Almighty, gets jealous. The jealousy of Allah, the Almighty, is when a person commits what Allah has made unlawful for him Whoever swears by other than Allah has disbelieved or associated partners with Allah The most burdensome prayers for the hypocrites are the ‘Ishā' and Fajr prayers. If they were to know the virtue of them, they would come to them even if they had to crawl. I sometimes thought of ordering for the prayer to be commenced, and I would appoint a man to lead the people in prayer, and then I would go, along with some men having bundles of firewood, to the people who are not attending the prayer and burn their houses with fire upon them Among the most wicked people are those who will be alive when the Hour comes, and those who take the graves as places of worship The thing that I fear most for you is minor polytheism. When asked what it was, he said: Riyā’ (show-off) Don't they forbid what Allah allows, so you forbid it? Don't they allow what Allah forbids, so you allow it? I said: Yes. He said: That is how you worship them You are going to meet people who received a Scripture, so let the first thing to which you invite them be to testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah When the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the 'Nushrah' (counteracting magic by magic), he said: It is an act of the devil Do not exaggerate in praising me as Christians praised the son of Mariyam, for I am only a slave. So, call me the slave of Allah and His Messenger Who will be the happiest of people to receive your intercession? He said: The one who says 'there is no god but Allah' sincerely from his heart Whoever is prevented from doing something because of his belief in bad omens has thus committed polytheism. They said: What is the expiation of that? He said: It is to say: "O Allah, there is no good except Your good, nor omen except Your omen, and there is no god but You Whoever bears witness that there is no god but Allah, alone with no partner, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, that ‘Isa is the slave and Messenger of Allah, and His word which He communicated to Maryam, and a spirit from Him; and that Paradise is true and Hell is true, Allah will certainly admit him into Paradise, regardless of the deeds which he has done Whoever meets Allah without associating partners with Him will enter Paradise, and whoever meets Him while associating partners with Him will enter Hell Whoever dies while invoking anything other than Allah as a rival will enter Hell "Ruined are the extremists!" He said it thrice Allah's statement: {And said: Never leave your gods and never leave Wadd or Suwā‘ or Yaghūth and Ya‘ūq and Nasr} [Sūrat Nūh: 23]. Ibn ‘Abbās said: These are names of some pious men of the people of Nūh (Noah) Whoever gives respite to an insolvent person or remits part of his debt, Allah will shade him on the Day of Judgment in the shade of His Throne, on a day when there will be no shade but His If Allah wills good for someone, He makes him suffer affliction Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by saying that] he who has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten good deeds to seven hundred times, or many times over Allah does not look at your bodies or at your forms, rather He looks at your hearts and deeds One day, we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) when there appeared before us a man dressed in extremely white clothes, and had very black hair. No traces of travel were visible on him, and none of us knew him Whoever does something that is not in accordance with this matter of ours shall have it rejected O My slaves, I have made oppression forbidden for Myself, and I have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My slaves, all of you are misguided except those whom I guide, so seek guidance from Me and I shall guide you O boy, I shall teach you some words: Be mindful of Allah and Allah will protect you. Be mindful of Allah, and you will find Him in front of you. If you ask, ask Allah; and if you seek help, seek help from Allah Everyone of my Ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse. It was said: Who does refuse, O Messenger of Allah? He said: He who obeyed me, shall enter Paradise, and who disobeyed me, indeed he has refused Whoever imitates a people is one of them I asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): Which sin is greatest? He said: That you set an equal to Allah while He alone created you It is unlawful for a Muslim to desert his fellow Muslim for more than three nights. As they meet, both of them turn their backs on each other. However, the best of them is the one who starts by greeting the other Anyone causes harm to a Muslim will be harmed by Allah, and anyone causes hardship to a Muslim will be caused hardship by Allah You will see your Lord as you see this moon, you will not have any difficulty in seeing Him Verily, Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He seizes him, He does not release him Shall I not send you with the same instructions as the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) sent me? Do not leave any image without blotting it out, nor any raised or built-up grave without leveling it He is not one of us who seeks omens or has omens interpreted for him, or who practices soothsaying or has it done for him, or who practices sorcery or has it done for him. And whoever goes to a soothsayer and believes in what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) Whoever goes to a soothsayer and asks him about something then believes him, his prayers will not be accepted for forty days Whoever acquires a branch of the knowledge of astrology learns a branch of magic of which he acquires more as long as he continues to do so The gravest major sins are: associating partners with Allah in worship, feeling secure from Allah's plan, despairing of Allah's mercy, and losing hope in relief coming from Allah Faith has over seventy branches, or over sixty branches He was with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on one of his journeys, so he sent a messenger ordering: There should not remain any necklace of bowstring or any other kind of necklace around the necks of camels without being cut Whoever is attached to something will be entrusted to that thing Whoever says "there is no god but Allah" and disbelieves in everything worshiped besides Allah, his property and blood becomes inviolable, and his reckoning will be with Allah Those who are merciful will be shown mercy by the Most Merciful. Be merciful to those on the earth and the One in the heaven will be merciful to you The angels descend to the clouds and mention matters which have been decreed in the heaven. The devil then listens to it stealthily and communicates it to the diviners who tell along with it a hundred lies There is no one who bears witness that there is no god but Allah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger, sincerely from his heart, but Allah will forbid him to the Fire Our Lord, Glorified and Exalted, descends every night to the lowest heaven in the last third of the night and says: Who supplicates Me so that I may answer him? Who asks Me so that I may give him? Who asks Me for forgiveness so that I may forgive him? Do not pray facing graves and do not sit on them Those are a people who, when a righteous slave or a righteous man from among them dies, they build a place of worship over his grave and place those images therein. They are the most evil people in the sight of Allah Islam is built upon five (pillars) Anyone of you who sees something evil should change it. Whoever does good deeds as a Muslim will not be punished for what he did before being a Muslim. Performing the obligations only Purity is half of the Imān What the Messenger of Allah has made unlawful is the same as what Allah has made unlawful The right of Allah upon His servants is that they worship Him and associate none with Him Whoever dies while not associating anything with Allah will enter Paradise Say "I believe in Allah" and then be upright The Hadīth of the Card When Allah created Paradise and Hellfire, He sent Jibrīl (peace be upon him) Allah had written down the destinies of the creatures fifty thousand years before He created the heavens and the earth Hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after me What stands between a man and polytheism and disbelief is abandonment of prayer The covenant between us and them is prayer; so, whoever abandons it has disbelieved Indeed, Allah forbids you to swear by your forefathers. The first cases to be settled among people on the Day of Judgment will be the cases of blood (homicide). The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) passed by two graves and said: "They are being tormented, but they are not tormented for a major sin. One of them would not avoid urine, and the other used to walk about spreading malicious gossip." You will be with whom you love Shall I tell you something about the Antichrist that no prophet has ever told his people? Verily, he is one-eyed and will bring with him something like Paradise and Hell. What he says is paradise will actually be hell A man follows the religion (i.e. ways and manners) of his intimate friend. So, each of you should carefully consider whom he takes as his intimate friend Hasten to good deeds before being overtaken by tribulations that are like parts of the dark night. A man would be a believer in the morning and turn to a disbeliever in the evening, or he would be a believer in the evening and turn to a disbeliever in the morning. He sells his religion for a worldly gain "There is no god but Allah. Woe to the Arabs from an impending evil. Today, an aperture has been made in the wall of Gog and Magog, like this", making a circle with his thumb and index fingers. So I said: "O Messenger of Allah, shall we perish while there are pious people among us?" He said: "Yes, when wickedness is rampant." The believer, man or woman, will continue to be tested with regard to his own self, children, and property until they meet Allah, the Almighty, without any sins in their record Allah's statement: {So do not attribute to Allah equals while you know} [Sūrat al-Baqarah: 22]. Ibn ‘Abbās commented: Equals are polytheism. It is subtler than the crawling of a small black ant on a black stone in the darkness of the night Do not say: What Allah wills and what so-and-so wills, rather say: What Allah wills and then what so-and-so wills To swear by Allah even if I were telling a lie is dearer to me than to swear by other than Him even if I were telling the truth Surely, you will follow the ways of those nations who were before you, in everything as one arrow resembles another, so much so that even if they entered a hole of a sand-lizard, you would enter it. They said: O Messenger of Allah, do you mean the Jews and the Christians? He replied: Who else? Whoever calls to guidance shall receive a reward similar to these obtained by those who follow him without that diminishing anything from their rewards. And whoever calls to misguidance shall incur a sin similar to these incurred by those who follow him without that diminishing anything from their sins What is the reason for those people's fear? They willingly accept what is precise thereof, and react ruinously when it comes to what is broadly indicative Belief in evil omens is polytheism. Belief in evil omens is polytheism. Everyone of us experienced something of that, but Allah dispels it with reliance on Him I set out with the delegation of Banu ‘Āmir to meet the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). We said (to him): You are our master. He said: The Master is Allah, Blessed and Exalted Raise your head, say and you will be heard, ask and you will be given, intercede and your intercession will be fulfilled Beware of extremism, for indeed, extremism destroyed those before you There is no contagion, nor is there any evil omen in birds, nor is there any evil omen in the owl, nor is there any bad omen in the month of Safar No one can undo the magic except a magician The seven heavens and the seven earths in the palm of the Most Merciful are no more than a mustard seed in the hand of one of you The Kursi (footstool) in comparison to the Throne is only like an iron ring thrown in a desert on earth There is no infection and no evil omen, and I like a good omen. They asked: What is a good omen? He said: A good word The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said about the Ansār: No one loves them except a believer, and no one hates them except a hypocrite. Allah loves whoever loves them and hates whoever hates them Pursue the right course and be as close to it as possible, and know that none of you will be saved by their deeds. They asked: Not even you, O Messenger of Allah? He replied: Not even me, unless Allah encompasses me in mercy and favor from Him No prophet had been sent before me by Allah to his people but he had, among his people, disciples and companions, who followed his ways and obeyed his command. Then, there came after them successors who claimed what they did not practice and practiced what they were not commanded to do I have been granted five things that none of the prophets before me was granted: I have been made victorious with the awe from a one month distance; the earth has been made a place of worship for me and a means of purification Should I not inform you about the people of Paradise? Every weak person who is looked down upon; if he were to make an oath in the name of Allah, He (Allah) would fulfill it. He then said: Should I not inform you about the people of Hellfire? Every cruel, greedy, and arrogant person In Paradise, there are one hundred degrees that Allah prepared for those who make Jihad in the cause of Allah. The distance between each two degrees is like the distance between the heaven and earth Allah, Glorified and Exalted, said: I am as My slave thinks of Me, and I am with him wherever he remembers Me A man from the people of Najd, with disheveled hair, came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). We could hear his loud voice but could not understand what he was saying: until he came close to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) when it then became clear that he was asking about Islam The best day the sun has risen over is Friday: on it Adam was created, on it he was admitted into Paradise, and on it he was driven out of it A huge fat man will come on the Day of Judgment weighing less than a mosquito wing in the sight of Allah There is no servant who conceals the faults of another servant in this worldly life, except that Allah will conceal his faults on the Day of Resurrection We were with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and we were nine, eight, or seven. He said to us: Will you not give a pledge to the Messenger of Allah? He who is inflicted with poverty and seeks relief from people, he will not be relieved; whereas he who seeks relief from Allah, he will be given sustenance from Allah sooner or later When a Muslim is questioned in the grave, he testifies that There is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. This is the explanation of the words of Allah, the Exalted: {Allah will keep firm those who believe, with the firm statement in this world and the Hereafter} [Sūrat Ibrahīm: 27] I have been commanded to fight against the people until they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, and until they establish the prayer and pay Zakah. If they do so, their blood and property are guaranteed my protection, unless (they commit acts that are punishable) in accordance with Islam, and their reckoning will be with Allah, the Almighty Allah has pardoned for my sake the mistakes and forgetfulness of my Ummah, and what they were coerced to do The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) died when my house was void of any edible thing except for a small quantity of barley I had on a shelf and from which I kept eating it for a long time. Then when I measured what was left of it, it soon finished A believer will be brought close to his Lord on the Day of Resurrection and enveloping him in His mercy, He will make him confess his sins Allah divided mercy into one hundred parts. He retained with Him ninety-nine parts and sent down to earth one part. Because of this one part, creatures show mercy towards each other, so much so that an animal lifts its hoof away from its youngster lest it should hurt it Do not ask me unnecessarily about what I did not mention to you. Verily, what destroyed those who were before you was their asking too many questions and their disagreement with their Prophets. So, if I forbid you from something, then avoid it; and if I command you to do something, then do as much of it as you can O Messenger of Allah, inform me of an act which will cause me to enter Paradise and keep me far from Hell. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have asked about a matter of great importance, but it is easy for whomever Allah makes it easy for Indeed, Allah is good and accepts only what is good. And Allah commanded the believers as He commanded the Messengers. He says: {O messengers, eat from the good foods and work righteousness. Indeed, I am All-Knowing of what you do} Do not kill him, for if you kill him, he will be in the same position of you before you have killed him, and you will be in the same position he had before saying the credo which he had said O Usāmah, you killed him after he had said "there is no god but Allah"? The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) dissociates himself from the woman who wails, the woman who shaves her head out of grief, and the woman who tears up her clothes out of grief Man's feet will not move from their place on the Day of Resurrection before he is asked about his life, in what did he let it perish? About his knowledge, what did he do with it? About his wealth, from where did he earn it, and on what did he spend it? About his body, in what did he wear it out? The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said on the Day of Khaybar: I shall give this flag to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, through whom Allah will grant victory When Allah created the creation, He wrote in a book, which is with Him over the Throne: Verily, My mercy predominates over My anger The believers, in their mutual love, compassion, and sympathy are like a single body; if one of its organs suffers, the whole body will respond to it with sleeplessness and fever The Muslim owes his fellow Muslim six (things): when you meet him, greet him; when he invites you, accept his invitation; when he asks for your advice, give him advice; when he sneezes and praises Allah, say: May Allah have mercy on you; when he is ill, visit him; and when he dies, follow his funeral. Anyone pledges allegiance to a ruler, giving him the grasp of his hand and sincerity of his heart, he should obey him to the best of his capacity. If another man comes forward disputing his authority, then you should behead the latter He is not one of us he who slaps his cheeks, tears open his clothes, and wails in the manner of the days of ignorance Among them are those whom the fire will reach up to their ankles, others up to their knees, others up to their waists, and others up to their collarbones Allah, the Exalted, said: O son of Adam, so long as you call upon Me and implore Me, I shall forgive you no matter what you have done, and I shall not mind. O son of Adam, were your sins to reach the clouds of the sky and were you then to ask forgiveness of Me, I shall forgive you Every person will be resurrected in the same state he died in A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak believer, and there is good in both. Adhere to whatever brings you benefit, seek the help of Allah, and do not feel helpless. Allah, Glorified and Exalted, will say on the Day of Judgment: O son of Adam, I was ill, but you did not visit Me We were talking about the Farewell Hajj, when the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was with us. We did not know what the Farewell Hajj signified No Prophet was sent but that he warned his people against the one-eyed liar The Hadīth on Intercession Allah is the Greatest! These are just predictable ways! By the One in whose hand my soul is, you have just said what the Children of Israel said to Mūsa A man said to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): It is as Allah wills and you will. Thereupon, he said: Do you make me an equal to Allah? It is only as Allah wills The people who will receive the severest punishment on the Day of Resurrection will be those who try to emulate Allah's creation Whenever the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) appointed a man to lead an army or a military detachment, he would advise him to fear Allah and treat well those Muslims who are with him If you spend the like of Uhud in gold, Allah will not accept it from you until you believe in predestination, and know that what has befallen you would not have missed you and what has missed you would not have befallen you. If you die on other than this, you will be among the people of Hellfire The first thing Allah created was the Pen. He commanded it to write. It said: My Lord, what shall I write? He said: Write down what has been ordained for all things until the establishment of the Hour Allah, the Exalted, said: Glory is My Izār and Pride is My Cloak. I will punish whoever contends with Me over either of them A person who attributes his fatherhood to anyone other than his real father, knowing that he is not his father, commits an act of disbelief. And he who makes a claim of anything which in fact does not belong to him, is none of us, and he should make his abode in Hell. And he who labels anyone as disbeliever or calls him the enemy of Allah while he is in fact not so, his charge will revert to him Whoever memorizes ten of the first verses of Sūrat al-Kahf will be guarded against the Anti-Christ Allah said: The son of Adam tells a lie against Me and he has no right to do so Allah has appointed an angel in charge of the womb, and the angel says: O Lord, (it is) a sperm drop! O Lord, (it is now ) a clot! O Lord, (it is now) a piece of flesh. Then, when Allah wills to complete its creation, the angel asks: O Lord, (will it be) a male or female? Wretched (an evil doer) or blessed (doer of good)? How much will his provisions be? How long will he live? All that is written while the fetus is still in his mother's womb The Kursi is the resting place of the feet, and the size of the Throne cannot be estimated A Jew came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad, Allah holds the heavens on one Finger, the earths on one Finger, the mountains on one Finger, the trees on one Finger, and the creatures on one Finger, then He says: I am the King Verily Allah said: Whoever shows enmity to a pious worshiper of Mine, I declare war against him. My slave does not draw near to Me with anything dearer to Me than what I have made obligatory for him. My slave continues to draw near to Me by doing supererogatory deeds until I love him Two matters are signs of disbelief on the part of those who indulge in them: Defaming a person's lineage and wailing over the dead Take it off, for it will only increase your weakness. If you die with it on, you will never succeed Do you know who the bankrupt is? Any owner of gold or silver who does not pay what is due on them, on the Day of Resurrection, plates of fire will be heated for him in the fire of Hell and with them his flank, forehead, and back will be seared Guard yourselves against Hellfire, even with half a date Whoever hangs an amulet, may Allah not fulfill his wishes, and whoever hangs a seashell, may Allah not grant him serenity O Ruwayfi‘, you may live a long life after me; so, inform people that anyone who ties his beard, wears a string around his neck, or cleanse himself with animal dung or with bone, indeed Muhammad has nothing to do with him Angels were created from light, Jinn were created from a smokeless flame of fire, and Adam was created from what was described to you My Lord has promised me that seventy thousand of my Ummah will enter Paradise without being brought to account or punished. With every thousand there will be (another) seventy thousand, and three handfuls of my Lord The Rahim (kinship ties) is hanging on to the Hujzah of the Most Merciful; He maintains ties with whoever maintains it (the Rahim) and severs ties with whoever severs it Would you not be content if I maintain ties with whoever maintains you, and sever ties with whoever severs you? The Sirāt will be placed over the center of Hell, covered with thorns similar to the thorns of the Sa‘dān. Then, people will pass over it; some will be safe without any harm, some will be safe after receiving some scratches, and some will fall down into Hell Our Lord will reveal His Shin, and then all believers, men and women, will prostrate themselves before Him, but there will remain those who used to prostrate in the worldly life for showing off and gaining good reputation. Such people will try to prostrate (in that situation) but their backs will be as stiff as if it is one bone When the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) entered the mosque, he would say: I seek refuge in Allah, the Majestic, and in His Noble Countenance, and in His eternal dominion, from the accursed devil Are you astonished at the jealousy of Sa‘d? I swear by Allah, I am more jealous than him, and Allah is more jealous than me. Because of His jealousy, Allah has prohibited immorality, the apparent and the hidden thereof No one, or nothing, is more patient about the offensive statements he hears than Allah. Verily, they ascribe a son to Him, yet He still grants them good health and sustenance The Hadīth of Abu Sa‘īd depicts some of the scenes of the Day of Judgment, when the believers see Allah, Blessed and Exalted; the "Sirāt" (bridge over Hell), taking anyone in whose heart there is an atom weight of faith out of the Fire, and the intercession The Hellfire will keep on saying: Are there anymore (to come), until the Lord of Honor puts His Foot therein. It will then say: I had enough! I had enough! [I swear] by Your Honor, and its sides will come together and it will retreat Allah says to the one receiving the least torment in Fire: If everything on earth was yours, would you ransom yourself with it? He says: Yes. Allah says: I had asked you for something easier than that when you were in the backbone of Adam: to not associate partners with Me, but you insisted on associating partners with Me How shouldn't we be contented, O Lord, when You have given us what You have not given to any of Your creation? Then He will say: Wouldn't you like Me to give you something better than that? And they will say: O Lord, what is better than that? He will say: I shall descend My favor upon you and thereafter I shall never be displeased with you I will be the chief of people on the Day of Judgment. Do you know why is this so? There is none among you except that his seat in Paradise or in Hell is decreed No man accuses another of impiety or disbelief except that it (the accusation) rebounds on him if the one accused is not as he said Whoever incites a woman against her husband or a slave against his master is not one of us The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) cursed the man who wears women's clothes and the woman who wears men's clothes The Jews and Christians do not dye (their grey hair), so do the opposite of what they do The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) did not believe in evil omens Those who make these images will be tortured on the Day of Resurrection. It will be said to them: Bring to life what you have created Angels do not enter a house where there is a dog or an image Angels do not accompany a group of travelers who have with them a dog or a bell Do not swear by false deities nor by your fathers He who swears by the 'Amānah' (religious obligations) is not one of us Take these sandals of mine, and anyone you meet outside this orchard testifying with full certainty that there is none worthy of worship but Allah, give him glad tidings that he will enter Paradise The true Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the Muhājir (emigrant) is the one who abandons what Allah has forbidden I know the last of the inhabitants of Hell to come out of it, and the last of the inhabitants of Paradise to enter it. He is a man who will emerge from Hellfire crawling, and Allah, the Almighty, will say to him: Go and enter Paradise. When he arrives, it will appear to him that it is full. He will say: O Lord, I have found it full Do you find any difficulty in seeing the sun at noon when there are no clouds? They said: No. He again said: Do you find any difficulty in seeing the moon during the fourteenth night when there are no clouds? Allah has ninety-nine names – one hundred minus one – and no one memorizes them but that they will enter Paradise. He is One, and He loves odd numbers There are angels at the entrances of Madīnah, so neither the plague nor the Antichrist shall enter it Whoever says on hearing the call to prayer: "O Allah, Lord of this perfect call and the prayer that is to be offered, grant Muhammad the Wasīlah and the Fadīlah, and resurrect him to the praiseworthy station that You have promised him," He will definitely be granted my intercession on the Day of Judgment All of the earth is a mosque (prayer place) except the graveyard and the bathroom When one of you stands to pray, he is privately conversing with his Lord, or his Lord is between him and the prayer direction. So let no one of you spit in the direction of prayer, but only to his left or under his feet I have not been ordered to build lofty mosques Do not insult my Companions, for if anyone of you spend gold equal to Mount Uhud (in Allah's cause), it will not be equal to a Mudd or even half a Mudd spent by one of them Those who took part in Badr and Al-Hudaybiyah will not enter Hellfire These two are the masters of the elderly people of Paradise, from the first ones and the last ones, except the prophets and the messengers Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn are the chiefs of the youth of Paradise One day the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) brought Al-Hasan and took him up the pulpit with him and said: This son of mine is a master and hopefully Allah will reconcile by means of him two groups of Muslims Anyone who loves Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn has indeed loved me, and anyone who hates them has indeed hated me When Allah wills good for a slave, He uses him before he dies They spoke the truth. They are tormented, and their torment can be heard by all animals This Ummah will be tested in their graves. Were it not that you would not bury one another, I would supplicate Allah to make you hear what I hear of the torment of the grave When one of you dies, his seat (in the Hereafter) is shown to him in the morning and evening. If he is one of the people of Paradise, (he is shown his seat) in Paradise, and if he is one of the people of Hellfire, (he is shown his seat) in Hellfire Once, the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) stood at the top of one of the forts of Madīnah looking down and said: Do you see what I see? Verily, I see the trials that occur in the midst of your houses as plenty as the raindrops that fall (during heavy rain) The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "My advent and the Hour are like these," and he pointed with his two fingers Indeed, this religion will reach everywhere the night and day can reach. Allah will not leave a dwelling in a city or a desert except that He will make this religion enter it, honoring the honorable or humiliating the humiliated; an honor which Allah will bestow on Islam, and a humiliation which Allah will inflict on disbelief By Him in Whose hand is my soul, a time would come upon the people when the killer would not know why he killed and the victim would not know why he was killed I am not responsible for any Muslim who stays among the polytheists I will certainly expel the Jews and the Christians from the Arabian Peninsula until only Muslims are left in it Verily, Allah has ninety-nine names, one-hundred minus one. Whoever memorizes them all will enter Paradise He did not ever say: My Lord, forgive my sins on the Day of Judgment Some of My servants have entered the morning as believers in Me and some as disbelievers That is the clear Imān (faith) Praise be to Allah Who turned his scheme into whispering Satan comes to one of you and says: Who created such and such? Allah does not wrong a believer in a good deed You have embraced Islam along with your past good deeds The hypocrite is like an ewe which goes to and fro between two flocks Imān (faith) wears out within one of you Among the portents of the Hour is that knowledge will be taken away The Hour will not come until a man would pass by the grave of another man and say: I wish I were in his place The Hour will not come until you fight the Jews The son of Mariyam will soon descend among you The Hour will not come until the sun rises from the west The Hour will not come until you fight the Jews Allah will grab the earth My Cistern is so large that it takes a month's journey to cross it I will be on the Cistern so that I see who among you will come to me By the One in Whose Hand the soul of Muhammad is, its vessels will outnumber the stars in the sky and its planets Death will be brought forward in the shape of a black and white ram Your fire is one-seventieth part of Hellfire The creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother's womb for forty days in the form of a drop Everything is by a decree If Allah decreed that someone should die in a certain land, He makes for him a reason to go there Ask whatever you want That will be at the time when knowledge disappears Neither believe the People of the Book, nor disbelieve them The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) received divine revelation at the age of forty The Jews are people who incurred Allah's wrath, and the Christians are astray The extent to which they betrayed you, disobeyed you, and lied to you will be measured against how much you punish them Is He Who is powerful to make them walk on their feet not powerful enough to make them walk upon their faces on the Day of Resurrection? Say "there is no god but Allah", and I will testify for you by it on the Day of Judgment A group of pagans went to excess in killing and committing illegal sexual intercourse Go and say to him: You are not from the people of Hellfire, but from the people of Paradise O Messenger of Allah, which bliss will we be asked about; there are only two black things available: dates and water? He said: This will certainly come There will be in the latter time of my Ummah people who will narrate to you what neither you nor your fathers have heard Write down; for by the One in Whose Hand my soul is, nothing comes out of it except the truth When you hear the Muezzin, say what he says and then invoke Allah's blessings upon me That is Satan who is known as Khinzab. If you perceive his effect, seek refuge with Allah from him and spit three times to your left Shall I not inform you about these three persons? One of them sought refuge with Allah, so Allah gave him refuge. The second one felt shy, so Allah was shy towards him. And the last one turned away, so Allah turned away from him. A man will go to sleep and honesty will be taken out of his heart and only a trace of it will remain, like the trace of a dark spot. And a man will go to sleep again and the honesty will decrease further still, so its trace will resemble that of a blister. He came to the Black Stone and kissed it and said: Verily, I know that you are a stone that can neither benefit nor harm. Had I not seen the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) kissing you, I would not have kissed you. I love you for Allah's sake. He said: May the One you love me for His sake love you Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day let him honor his guest with his due reward. They said: O Messenger of Allah, what is his due reward? He said: "A day and a night (of excellent accommodation) and hospitality is for three days, and whatever is beyond that is charity offered to him." Are you then asking me about the origins of the Arabs? The best of them in the pre-Islamic era are the best of them in Islam, provided that they acquire religious knowledge The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade throwing stones and said: It does not kill the quarry or harm the enemy. Instead, it can gouge out an eye or break a tooth One day, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) stood up to deliver a sermon at a watering place known as Khumm located between Makkah and Madīnah. He praised Allah, extolled Him, and gave us an admonition and reminder. By the One in whose Hand my soul is, this world will not come to an end until a man passes by a grave, rolls over it and says: I wish I were in the place of the dweller of this grave, not due to religious reasons but due to (worldly) affliction The Hour will not occur until the Euphrates recedes uncovering a mountain of gold over which people will fight. Ninety-nine out of every hundred will get killed People will desert Madīnah, in spite of its being in its best condition, and it will only be inhabited by wild beasts and birds A time will come when a man will go about with charity from his gold and not find anyone to receive it. One man will be seen being followed by forty women dependent upon him on account of the scarcity of men and the high number of women Righteous people will go (die) one after another. Meanwhile, the dregs of people, like waste barley or dates, will remain. Allah will not raise them in esteem I saw in my dream that I was using a tooth-stick when two men came to me, one of them older than the other. I gave the tooth-stick to the younger one, but I was told to give it to the older one first, so I did I never felt jealous of any of the Prophet's wives more than I felt jealous of Khadījah (may Allah be pleased with her). I never saw her, but he used to mention her a lot If you wish, be patient and you will enter Paradise, or, if you wish, I will supplicate to Allah to cure you The supplication of a Muslim for a fellow Muslim in his absence is answered. At his head, there is an entrusted angel. Whenever one invokes good for his brother, the entrusted angel says: Amen, and likewise to you I see what you do not see. Heaven is groaning and it has a right to be groaning: there is no space the width of four fingers in it but an angel placing his forehead in prostration to Allah, the Exalted Whoever suppresses his rage while being able to vent it, Allah, Glorified and Exalted, will call him before the entire creation on the Day of Judgment so that he can choose whomever of the houris he wishes to have Allah, the Almighty, will say on the Day of Judgment: Where are those who loved each other for My glory? Today, I will shelter them under My shade the day when there is no shade but My shade A rabbi came to the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad, we learn that Allah will put the heavens on one finger and the earths on one finger Allah will fold the heavens on the Day of Judgment and then take them in His right hand and say: I am the King. Where are the mighty ones? Where are the arrogant ones? Then, He will fold the seven earths and take them in His left (hand) and say: I am the King. Where are the mighty ones? Where are the arrogant ones? The Messenger (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) gave glad tidings to Khadījah (may Allah be pleased with her) of a house in Paradise built of Qasab wherein there will be neither any noise nor any fatigue Whosoever introduces a good practice in Islam, there is for him its reward and the reward of those who act upon it after him without anything being diminished from their rewards. And whosoever introduces an evil practice in Islam will shoulder its sin and the sins of all those who will act upon it, without diminishing in any way their burden Allah, the Almighty, said: Those who love one another for the sake of My glory will have pulpits of light for which the prophets and martyrs will envy them if the deceased was righteous, it (the corpse) would say: Send me forward, send me forward. But if he was not righteous, it would say: Woe to it! Where are you taking it? When Allah created Adam (peace be upon him), He said to him: Go and greet those – a group of angels who were sitting – and listen to what they are going to say in response to your greeting as that will be your greeting and the greeting of your offspring Intercede and you will be rewarded, and Allah will decide what He loves on the tongue of His Prophet Allah, forgive my people for they do not know If Allah wills to show mercy to a people, He takes the soul of their prophet before them, thus making him a forerunner and an intercessor for them May Allah have mercy upon Mūsa! He was hurt more than this but remained patient Zakariyya (Zechariah) (peace be upon him) was a carpenter Order Abu Bakr to lead the people in prayer Here is Jibrīl giving you greetings of peace I am more entitled to that (action) than you. Pardon My slave
