Shall I inform you of the gravest of the major sins? When a man loves his brother, he should tell him that he loves him The grave major sins are: associating partners with Allah, undutifulness towards the parents, murder, and intentional false oath. The one who looks after the widow and the needy person is like the one who fights in the cause of Allah Avoid the seven destructive sins 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 Do not make your houses like graves, and do not make my grave a place for celebration, and invoke blessings (of Allah) on me for they will reach me wherever you may be 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 guarantees for me to safeguard what is between his jaws and what is between his legs, I shall guarantee Paradise for him The best Dhikr is: There is no god but Allah Paradise is nearer to one of you than his shoelace, and so is Hellfire The five (daily) prayers, Friday prayer to the next Friday prayer, and Ramadan to the next Ramadan, are expiation of the sins committed in between them, so long as major sins are avoided No fatigue, disease, sorrow, sadness, harm, or distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were a prick of a thorn, but Allah will expiate some of his sins thereby Hellfire is surrounded by lusts, and Paradise is surrounded by adversities A Muslim owes another Muslim five rights: responding to the greetings, visiting the sick, following the funerals, accepting the invitation, and responding to the sneezing person May Allah have mercy on a man who is lenient when he sells, and when he buys, and when he demands back his money There was a man who used to give loans to people. He would say to his servant: When you come to an insolvent person overlook his debt. Perhaps Allah would overlook our sins. So, the man met Allah (after death) and He overlooked his sins Whoever goes out to seek knowledge is in the cause of Allah until he returns When two Muslims meet to fight each other with their swords, both the killer and the killed are doomed to Hell Verily, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between them are doubtful matters which many people do not know of. Whoever avoids doubtful matters clears his liability regarding his religion and his honor, and whoever falls into doubtful matters will fall into the unlawful Allah does not look at your bodies or at your forms, rather He looks at your hearts and deeds Verily, the reward of deeds depends on the intentions, and each person will be rewarded according to what he intended A man came to the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Advise me. He replied: Do not get angry. The man repeated that several times and every time he replied: Do not get angry If only you relied on Allah the way you should, He would provide for you as He provides for birds; they set out hungry in the morning and return satiated in the evening A slave committed a sin and said: O Allah, forgive my sin, and Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said: My slave committed a sin and realized that he has a Lord who forgives sins and punishes for sins Those who are just will be on pulpits of light with Allah. They are those who are fair with regards to their Judgment, their families, and what they are in charge of Do you know what backbiting is? They said: Allah and His Messenger know best. He said: It is to say of your brother what he dislikes Some people dispose of Allah's property wrongfully. For them will be Hellfire on the Day of Judgment Beware of negative assumption, for negative assumption is the falsest of speech All human beings are sinners, and the best of the sinners are the frequent repenters Every act of goodness is charity Do not belittle any good deed, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face The strong man is not the one who can overpower others; rather, the strong man is the one who controls himself when he gets angry Whoever guides to a good deed gets the same reward as the doer of that deed Do not insult the dead, because they have attained the fruits of their deeds 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 The one who severs the ties of kinship will not enter Paradise A scandalmonger will not enter Paradise Whoever loves to have his sustenance expanded and his term of life prolonged should maintain ties of kinship The nearest a slave is to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so increase (your) supplications (while in this state) Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him say good words or remain silent. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him be generous to his neighbor. Whoever believes in Allah and the Last Day, let him be hospitable to his guest He who does not show mercy to people, Allah will not show mercy to him The most hateful of men to Allah is the one given to fierce violent disputation The most beloved speech to Allah is four, and you may start with any of them: Glorified is Allah and High above any imperfection, All praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, Allah is the Greatest The most frequent deeds that lead people to Paradise are piety and good manners Modesty is a part of faith Verily, supplication is worship There are two phrases that are dear to the Most Merciful, light on the tongue, and heavy on the scale: Glory and Praise be to Allah, Glory be to Allah, the Great Nothing is more honorable in the sight of Allah than supplication Whoever protects the honor of his brother in his absence, Allah will protect his face from the Fire on the Day of Judgment Whoever says "Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him" one hundred times, his sins will be unloaded from him, even if they were as much as the foam of the sea Whoever says, ten times: There is no god but Allah alone, Who has no partner, to Him belongs the sovereignty, to Him belongs the praise, and He is Omnipotent over all things; will be as though he emancipated four slaves from the offspring of Isma‘īl Whoever Allah wills to do good to, He makes him comprehend the religion Verily, Allah loves the servant who is pious, free of wants, and inconspicuous The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) never refused a gift of perfume The most perfect believer in his faith is the one who has the most excellent manners, and the best of you are those who are best to their wives Verily, kindness is not to be found in anything but it adorns it, and it is not removed from anything but it makes it defective Allah is pleased with a person who eats some food and then praises Him for it, or who drinks some drink and then praises Him for it Verily a believer attains by his good manners the rank of one who fasts and prays abundantly Verily, the best of you are those who have the best moral conduct Verily, Allah gives respite to the oppressor, but when He seizes him, He does not release him I am not leaving a trail behind me that is more harmful to men than women Make matters easy (for people) and do not make them difficult, and give people glad tidings and do not repulse them Whoever alights somewhere and then says: I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created, nothing will harm him until he leaves that place None of you will attain perfect faith until I am more beloved to him than his child, his parent, and all people When I say: glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is the Greatest If one recites the last two verses of Sūrat al-Baqarah at night, it will suffice for him Whoever recites a letter from the Book of Allah will be credited with a good deed, and the good deed receives a ten-fold reward Whoever is attached to something will be entrusted to that thing 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 Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) forbade Qaza‘ (shaving parts of the head and leaving other parts unshaven) We were forbidden from adopting the attitude of affectation 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 O boy, mention Allah's name, eat with your right hand, and eat from what is nearer to you If anyone of you eats, let him eat with his right hand, and if he drinks, let him drink with his right hand, for indeed the devil eats with his left hand and drinks with his left hand Purity is half of the Imān 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) Hold fast to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after me The reward of repeating after the Adhān (prayer call) I have divided prayer between Myself and My servant into two halves, and My servant shall have what he has asked for Do not wear silk or brocade, and do not drink from gold or silver vessels, nor eat in platters made therefrom, for they are for them in this world and for you in the Hereafter. Do not wear silk, for whoever wears it in this world will not wear it in the Hereafter. Mu‘āwiyah (may Allah be pleased with him) came upon a group of people sitting in a circle in the mosque, and he asked them: "What made you sit together?" They replied: "We are sitting together to remember Allah." 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." Once I was in the company of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) on a journey and I bent down to take off his leather socks, but he asked me to leave them as he had put them on after performing ablution. So, he wiped over them O Messenger of Allah, may anyone of us sleep while being ritually impure? He said: Yes, he may sleep if he makes ablution When anyone of you performs ablution, let him sniff water in his nose and then blow it out. Whoever cleans his private parts with stones, let him do so with an odd number of stones. Whoever wakes up from his sleep, let him wash his hands three times before putting them in the water vessel, for none of you knows where his hands were during his sleep When one mentions Allah's name, on entering his house and when eating, the devil says to his companions: There is no night shelter nor supper here for you. However, when one does not mention Allah's name, on entering his house, the devil says: You have found yourselves a night shelter and supper Show reverence to Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) by honoring his family members. Life in this world is sweet and green, and indeed, Allah has made you successors there to see how you will behave. So, be cautious of this world and be cautious of women, for indeed, the first temptation of the children of Israel was due to women Modesty brings nothing but good O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, chastity, and richness! No one of you should hold his penis with his right hand while urinating, or clean himself after answering the call of nature using his right hand, or breathe into the vessel You will be with whom you love The example of the righteous companion and the evil companion is like that of the musk-seller and the one who blows the bellows O Turner of the hearts, keep my heart firm upon Your religion Whoever sincerely asks Allah, the Almighty, for martyrdom, Allah will raise him to the status of martyrs even if he dies on his bed 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, the Exalted, says: "My reward shall be nothing less than Paradise for My faithful servant who, if I take the life of his beloved one from the inhabitants of the world, he bears it patiently in expectation of My reward." Do not supplicate against yourselves, do not supplicate against your children, and do not supplicate against your property, lest you do it at a time in which Allah answers all supplications so you will be granted what you asked for Your supplication is answered as long as one of you is not in haste, saying: I have supplicated to my Lord, but He has not yet answered me Which supplication is most likely to be answered? He said: A supplication made in the middle of the last part of the night and after conclusion of the obligatory prayers Then return to your parents and accompany them in a best way The most excellent dinar that a man spends is the dinar that he spends on his dependents, and the dinar that he spends on his riding-animal in the cause of Allah, and the dinar that he spends on his companions in the cause of Allah. If anyone of you sees a vision that he likes, then it is from Allah, the Exalted. He should praise Allah for it and narrate it to others How wonderful the affair of the believer is! Indeed, all of his affairs are good for him. This is for none but the believer. If something good happens to him, he is grateful to Allah, which is good for him. And if something bad happens to him, he has patience, which is good for him Some people will enter Paradise whose hearts are like the hearts of birds Whenever the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) sneezed, he would cover his mouth with his hand or cloth, lowering the sound therewith Shall I tell you what I fear more for you than the Antichrist? They said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah. He said: Hidden polytheism; when a man gets up to pray and improves his prayer because he sees another man watching him So-and-so, what is the matter with you? Did you not use to command us to do right and forbid us from doing wrong? He will say: Yes, I commanded you to do right but I did not do it myself, and I forbade you from doing wrong but I used to do it myself Do not take my grave as a place of festivity (which you visit repeatedly), and do not take your houses as graves. Send blessings upon me, for your greeting will reach me no matter where you are When you put on clothes and when you perform ablution, you should begin with your right side Whoever supports two girls till they grow up, he and I will come on the Day of Resurrection like this By the One in Whose Hand my soul is! You will not enter Paradise until you believe and you will not believe until you love one another. Shall I tell you of something that, if you do it, you will love one another? Spread the greeting of peace among yourselves I asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him): Which deed is dearest to Allah? He said: Offering prayer at the appointed time. I said: Then, what comes next? He said: Dutifulness to one's parents That is a stone which was thrown into Hell seventy years ago and it has just reached its bottom and now you've just heard its bang A man ate with his left hand in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him), whereupon he said: "Eat with your right hand." The man said: "I cannot do that." Thereupon, he said: "May you not be able to do that." It was only arrogance that prevented the man from doing it, and consequently he could not raise it (his right hand) up to his mouth afterwards. 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 was with Sa‘īd ibn Jubayr when he said: Who among you saw a shooting star last night? I said: It was I. Then I said: In fact, I was not (busy) in prayer, but I was stung by a scorpion 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 Verily, I will give the flag tomorrow to a man who loves Allah and His Messenger, and is loved by Allah and His Messenger, and Allah will bring victory under his leadership Who is that who swears that I will not forgive so-and-so? Indeed, I have forgiven him and rendered worthless your deeds No soul gets killed wrongfully without the first son of Adam taking guilt for its blood because he was the first to institute the practice of murder Are you not aware that Islam wipes out all (sins) that preceded it, and that Hijrah wipes out all (sins) that preceded it, and that Hajj wipes out all (sins) that preceded it? One may utter a word thoughtlessly and, as a result of this, he will fall down into Hellfire for a distance greater than the distance between the east and the west Whoever says (upon leaving his house) "In the name of Allah; I rely on Allah; there is no might and no power save in Allah", it will be said to him: "You are guided, sufficed, and protected", and the devil will go far away from him Fear Allah, pray your five, fast your month, give Zakah from your wealth, and obey your rulers, and you will enter your Lord's Paradise When anyone of you meets his brother, let him greet him with peace. If a tree, a wall, or a stone comes between them and then he meets him, let him greet him with peace Shall I not tell you something by which Allah erases sins and elevates ranks (in Paradise)? The Companions said: Certainly, O Messenger of Allah! He said: Performing the ablution properly even in difficulty, increasing attendance of prayer in the mosque, and waiting for the next prayer after observing one prayer; and this is Jihad Shall I not inform you of the best of your deeds which are the most praiseworthy in the sight of your Lord I know a word that if he said, his rage would go away. If he said: I seek refuge with Allah from the accursed devil, his rage would subside A good vision is from Allah, and a (bad) dream is from the devil Hold back your tongue, abide in your house, and weep over your sin 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 Whoever is pleased to look at a man from the dwellers of Paradise, then he may look at this man Were this world worth a wing of a mosquito in the sight of Allah, He would not have given the disbeliever a drink of water thereof May he be disgraced, may he be disgraced, may he be disgraced, he whose parents, one or both, reach old age in his life and he does not enter Paradise The Mufarridūn have gone ahead During your sleep, Satan ties three knots at the back of the head of each one of you, and he seals each knot with the following words: The night is long, so keep on sleeping Two eyes will not be touched by the Fire: an eye which has wept out of fear of Allah, and an eye which has spent the night guarding in the cause of Allah Every Ummah has a trial, and the trial of my Ummah is wealth All of my Ummah may be forgiven except those who commit sin openly 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 Let none of you die but should have good expectation from Allah I met Ibrahīm on the Night of Ascension and he said to me: "O Muhammad, convey my greetings to your nation, and tell them that Paradise has pure soil and sweet water. It is a vast plain land and its seedlings are: glory be to Allah, praise be to Allah, there is no god but Allah, and Allah is Greatest." All that is left from Prophet-hood is the glad tidings If I had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, it would please me that I should have nothing left of it with me after the passage of three nights, except what I might retain to repay a debt If you are as you say, it is as if you are feeding them hot ashes, and you will have a supporter against them from Allah as long as you continue to do so This world in comparison with the Hereafter is like the amount of water one of you gets when he dips his finger in the sea. Let him see what his finger returns with No people leave a gathering in which they did not remember Allah, the Almighty, except that it will be as if they are leaving the carcass of a donkey, and it will be a cause of regret for them I would not be pleased to have the like of Uhud in gold and three days pass while even one dinar thereof remains with me, except what I keep for debts. Otherwise, I would distribute it among Allah's slaves like this, and like this, and like this The example of the one who remembers his Lord and the one who does not remember Him is the like the example of a living and a dead person Verily, among the things I fear the most for you is the splendor and pleasures of this worldly life when they become plentifully available to you O Messenger of Allah, who is the most entitled among people to my good companionship? He said: Your mother, then your mother, then your mother, then your father, and then those who are the closest to you Anyone spends a pair in the way of Allah will be called from the gates of Paradise: O slave of Allah, this is good! So, whoever was from the people of prayer will be called from the gate of prayer; whoever was from the people of Jihad will be called from the gate of Jihad Whoever has seen me in a dream will see me when he is awake – or it is as if he has seen me while he is awake; the devil does not take my shape The least tortured one among the dwellers of Fire on the Day of Judgment is a man who will have two live coals placed underneath his feet that will cause his brain to boil. He will think that none is tortured more than him, while he is the least tortured The dead person is followed by three: His family, his wealth and his deeds. Then two of them come back: His family and his wealth, and there remain only his deeds The one who is riding should greet the one who is walking, the one who is walking should greet the one who is sitting, and the small group of people should greet the large one 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 Fear Allah wherever you are, follow a bad deed with a good deed and it will erase it, and treat people with good morals Be indifferent to worldly life, and Allah will love you; and be indifferent to what people have, and people will love you Righteousness is good morals and sinfulness is what your heart is not at ease with and you hate that people know about it Allah is happier with the repentance of His slave than one of you is with finding his riding camel after having lost it in a desert Allah, Blessed and Exalted, accepts the slave's repentance as long as the death rattle has not yet reached his throat 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} Allah, the Almighty, stretches His Hand during the night so that the sinners of the day may repent, and stretches His Hand in the day so that the sinners of the night may repent. He keeps doing so until the sun rises from the west A man asked the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) about fasting while traveling. He answered: If you wish then fast, and if you wish then do not fast It is not permissible for a woman who believes in Allah and the Last Day to travel the distance of one day and night unless she is accompanied by a Mahram Has Allah not given you something to give as charity? Every utterance of "glory be to Allah" is charity; every utterance of "Allah is the Greatest" is charity; every utterance of "praise be to Allah" is charity; and every utterance of "there is no god but Allah" is charity Indeed, some of what people learned from the words of the early prophets: If you feel no shame, then do whatever you wish Be in this world as if you are a stranger or a wayfarer Do not envy one another, do not raise prices by overbidding against one another, do not hate one another, do not turn your backs on each other, and do not undercut one another in trade; but be, O slaves of Allah, as brothers O Messenger of Allah, Indeed, the laws of Islam are too many for us, so give us something comprehensive that we can hold on to. He said: Keep your tongue moist with the frequent remembrance of Allah, Exalted and Glorified None of you is a real believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself Whoever repents before the sun rises from the west, Allah will accept his repentance Anyone who relieves a hardship for a believer in this world, Allah will relieve one of his hardships on the Day of Resurrection. Anyone who makes things easy for a hard-pressed person, Allah will make things easy for him in this world and in the Hereafter. Anyone who covers up the faults and sins of a Muslim, Allah will cover up his faults and sins in this world and in the Hereafter. By Allah! I ask Allah for forgiveness and repent to Him more than seventy times a day O people, seek repentance from Allah and seek His forgiveness. Verily, I seek repentance one hundred times a day He who is deprived of gentleness is deprived of all goodness Shall I not inform of whom Hellfire is forbidden for? Or he is forbidden for Hellfire? It is forbidden for someone who is accessible, lenient, tender, and easy to get along with The Muslim's lower garment should be half way down the leg. There is no harm (if it reaches) between that and the ankles. However, what is below the ankles will be in the Fire. Whoever trails his lower garment out of vanity, Allah will not look at him The Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) never found fault with any food. If he liked it, he would eat; and if he disliked it, he would leave it Worship in times of chaos and killing is like migration towards me No Muslim on earth supplicates Allah, the Almighty, except that Allah answers his supplication or averts from him harm equivalent to it, unless he supplicates for something sinful or for the severing of the ties of kinship Supplications said at the time of distress: There is no god but Allah, the Great, the Compassionate. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the Mighty Throne. There is no god but Allah, the Lord of the heavens, the earth, and the Honorable Throne If any of you yawns, let him put his hand over his mouth Injustice will be excessive darkness on the Day of Judgment Reviling a Muslim is disobedience and fighting him is disbelief If anyone of you sneezes, let him say: "al-hamdu-lillāh (praise be to Allah)," and let his brother say to him: "yarhamuk Allah (may Allah have mercy on you)." If he says to him "Yarhamuk Allah," let him say, "yahdeekum Allah wa yuslih balakum (may Allah guide you and amend your condition) 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 Do not initiate the greeting of peace to the Jews and Christians, and if you meet them on a road, force them to go to the narrowest part thereof When any of you is putting on his shoes, let him start with the right foot; and when he is taking them off, let him start with the left foot. Let the right foot be the first when putting on the shoes and the last when taking them off None of you should walk wearing one shoe; either wear both of them or take them both off Allah does not look at the one who drags his clothes out of self-conceit A believer is neither a slanderer or an invoker of curse, nor is he indecent or foulmouthed It is one of the major sins when a man abuses his parents. It was asked: Would a man ever abuse his parents? He replied: Yes. He abuses the father of another man, who in return abuses his father, and he abuses his mother, and so the latter abuses the former’s mother Whoever listens to the talk of some people while they dislike that, molten lead shall be poured into his ears on the Day of Judgment O Messenger of Allah, we have learned how to greet you, but how should we invoke the grace of Allah upon you? He said: Say: O Allah, bestow Your grace upon Muhammad and his family just as You bestowed Your grace upon Ibrahīm and his family. Verily, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious. And bless Muhammad and his family just as You blessed Ibrahīm and his family. Verily, You are Praiseworthy, Glorious Was handshake common among the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him)? He replied: Yes Shall I inform you about the most beloved words by Allah? They are: Glory belongs to Allah and praise is due to Him The miser is one in whose presence I am mentioned and who does not invoke the blessings of Allah upon me Whoever eats food and says: Praise be to Allah who fed me and provided me with this food through no might or power on my part), his past sins will be forgiven The one who is afraid (of the pillage of the enemy) sets out in the early part of the night, and the one who sets out early will reach his destination. Verily, the commodity of Allah is precious. Verily, the commodity of Allah is Paradise Whoever passes through any of our mosques or markets with arrows with him, he should hold them by their heads lest he injures any of the Muslims with them 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 There are two blessings in which many people incur loss: health and free time By the One in Whose hand my soul is, if you were not to commit sins, Allah would replace you with people who would commit sins and then seek forgiveness from Allah, the Almighty, who would then forgive them 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 Hellfire will be brought on that Day with seventy thousand bridles; and with each bridle, there will be seventy thousand angels pulling it O Allah, forgive all my sins, small and great, first and last Supplication between Adhān and Iqāmah is not rejected O Allah, rectify for me my religion which is the safeguard of my affairs, and rectify for me the affairs of this world wherein is my sustenance, and rectify for me my Hereafter to which is my return, and make life for me an increase for every good, and make death a relief for me from every evil. O Allah, forgive my sins, my ignorance, my excess in my affairs, and whatever You are better aware of (my affairs) than myself O Allah, I ask you for pardon and well-being in my religious and worldly affairs, my family, and my wealth. O Allah, conceal my weaknesses, and set at ease my dismay. O Allah, preserve me from the front and from behind and on my right and on my left and from above; and I seek refuge with you lest I be swallowed up by the earth O Allah, I ask You for all that is good, now or in the future, what I know and what I do not know. O Allah, I seek refuge with You from all evil, now or in the future, what I know and what I do not know O Allah, I seek refuge in you from withholding of your favor, the decline of my well-being, the suddenness of Your punishment, and all what displeases You O Allah, I seek refuge with You from being overcome by debts, overcome by enemies, and from my enemies gloating over my misfortune In the morning, the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) used to say: "O Allah, by Your leave we have reached the morning, and by Your leave we have reached the evening; by Your leave we live and by Your leave we die; and our resurrection will be to You." On the evening, he used to say the same supplication except that he would say: "and our return will be to You 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. Those who indulge in cursing will not be intercessors or witnesses on the Day of Resurrection Verily, your Lord is Modest and Munificent. He is ashamed to turn down His servant empty handed when he raises his hands to Him If you insist on sitting there, then give the road its due rights. They said: What are its rights? He said: Lowering the gaze, refraining from doing harm (to others), returning the greeting, enjoining what is good, and forbidding what is evil The supplication that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) recited most: Our Lord, give us in this world [what is] good and in the Hereafter [what is] good and protect us from the torment of the Fire The most superior way of seeking forgiveness is for a slave to say: O Allah, You are my Lord. There is no god but You. You created me and I am Your slave, and I remain faithful to Your covenant and Your promise as much as I can. I seek refuge with You from the evil of what I have done. I acknowledge Your favors upon me, and I admit my sins. So forgive me, for indeed none forgives sins except You Adhere to truthfulness, for truthfulness leads to righteousness and righteousness leads to Paradise If people sit in a session where they neither remember Allah nor invoke blessings upon the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) that will be for them a cause of grief on the Day of Judgment Woe to him who speaks and tells lies so as to make people laugh thereby. Woe to him! Woe to him! O people, spread the greeting of peace profusely, maintain kinship ties, feed others, and pray at night when people are asleep, you will enter Paradise in peace Allah, the Almighty, says: I am with My slave as long as he remembers Me and his lips move saying My Name Whoever is presented with basil should not decline it. Indeed, it is light to carry and pleasant to smell O Messenger of Allah, who is the best among people? Beware of oppression, for oppression will be layers of darkness on the Day of Resurrection; and beware of stinginess, as it ruined those who were before you.
