AbūHurairah relates: The Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid, “When any one of you is observing a fast on a day, he should neither indulge in obscene language nor should he raise his voice; and if anyone reviles him or tries to quarrel with him, he should say: ‘I am observing fast’.”
Salman Farsi (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be to him) delivered a sermon on the last day of Sha’aban in which he said, “O people! You are on the threshold of a month of great solemnity and blessings. It is a month during which one night is better than a thousand months. God has prescribed fasting in this month and made Taraweeh prayers optional, but it is pleasing to God. Whosoever does one good act in this month will have the merit of having done an obligatory act in other months and who does a prescribed act in this month it will be equal to seventy prescribed acts in other months. This is the month of endurance and the reward of endurance is Paradise and this is the Month of Sympathy with and Care of the Poor and Needy men of the community.”
The Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid, “Help thy brother, whether he is doing wrong to others, or is being wronged.” A man asked, “O Messenger of Allah, I can understand helping one who is being wronged, but how can I help him when he is doing wrong?” The Blessed Messenger replied, “Stop him from doing wrong: this is your help to him.”
Nu’man ibn Bashir relates that the Messenger of Allah ﷺsaid: “Listen carefully, there is a lump of flesh in the body. If it is set right and made good, the entire body becomes good and healthy; but if it becomes diseased, the entire body becomes diseased. Remember well: it is the Heart.”
The Messenger of Allahﷺsaid: “If one travels in search of knowledge, God will make him travel to Paradise; the angels, being highly pleased with him, spread their wings over the seeker of knowledge; everything in the heavens and on earth, even the fish in the depths of water, seeks forgiveness for a scholar; and the superiority of a learned man over one engaged in ritual worship is like that of a full moon over the rest of the stars.”
Abu UmamahSudaiye bin AjlanBahili relates that the Holy Prophet ﷺsaid: “Allah likes most two drops, one of tears due to fear of Allah and a drop of blood shed for the sake of Allah; and two marks, one received (i.e. wounded) in the cause of Allah, and a mark received in the course of discharging an obligation commanded by Allah.”
Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the Holy Messenger ﷺ said: “A person who gives surety to (safeguard) the thing between the jaws (viz. tongue) and the thing between the two legs (viz. private organs), I guarantee his entrance into Paradise.”
Jabir relates that a villager came to Allah’s Messenger ﷺ and said: O Messenger of Allah, what are the two things which make Heaven or Hell necessary? He replied: “One who dies associating nobody with Allah will enter Paradise, and one who dies associating anybody with Allah will enter the Hell.”
(Sahih Muslim)
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) relates that the Holy Messenger ﷺsaid: “A person, who wants that there may be abundance in his provision, and that his age be lengthened, then he should do favour to his blood relations.”
