sitting there but Allah's Apostle left a man whom I thought the best of the lot.
I asked, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you left that person? By Allah I regard
him as a faithful believer." The Prophet commented: "Or merely a Muslim." I
remained quiet for a while, but could not help repeating my question because of
what I knew about him. And then asked Allah's Apostle, "Why have you left so and
so? By Allah! He is a faithful believer." The Prophet again said, "Or merely a
Muslim." And I could not help repeating my question because of what I knew about
him. Then the Prophet said, "O Sa'd! I give to a person while another is dearer
to me, for fear that he might be thrown on his face in the Fire by Allah."

dwellers were women who were ungrateful." It was asked, "Do they disbelieve in
Allah?" (or are they ungrateful to Allah?) He replied, "They are ungrateful to
their husbands and are ungrateful for the favors and the good (charitable deeds)
done to them. If you have always been good (benevolent) to one of them and then
she sees something in you (not of her liking), she will say, 'I have never
received any good from you."
Hadith 1:29

At Ar-Rabadha I met Abu Dhar who was wearing a cloak, and his slave, too, was
wearing a similar one. I asked about the reason for it. He replied, "I abused a
person by calling his mother with bad names." The Prophet said to me, 'O Abu
Dhar! Did you abuse him by calling his mother with bad names You still have some
characteristics of ignorance. Your slaves are your brothers and Allah has put
them under your command. So whoever has a brother under his command should feed
him of what he eats and dress him of what he wears. Do not ask them (slaves) to
do things beyond their capacity (power) and if you do so, then help them.' "

(meet) each other with their swords, both the murderer as well as the murdered
will go to the Hell-fire.' I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! It is all right for the
murderer but what about the murdered one?' Allah's Apostle replied, "He surely
had the intention to kill his companion."

their belief with wrong (worshipping others besides Allah.)" (6:83), the

Allah is a great injustice (wrong) indeed." (31.13)

1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.

trust with him, he will not return it.)"

pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will
have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.
1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.

manner."

cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles,
will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or
will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr). Had I
not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any
sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause
and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again
martyred in His cause."

Hadith 1:38
Narrated Abu Huraira:
The Prophet said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his
religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be
extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that
you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the
nights." (See Fath-ul-Bari, Page 102, Vol 1).
Hadith 1:39
Narrated Al-Bara' (bin 'Azib):
When the Prophet came to Medina, he stayed first with his grandfathers or
maternal uncles from Ansar. He offered his prayers facing Baitul-Maqdis
(Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but he wished that he could pray
facing the Ka'ba (at Mecca). The first prayer which he offered facing the Ka'ba
was the 'Asr prayer in the company of some people. Then one of those who had
offered that prayer with him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who
were bowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem). He said addressing them,
"By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah's Apostle facing Mecca (Ka'ba).'
Hearing that, those people changed their direction towards the Ka'ba
immediately. Jews and the people of the scriptures used to be pleased to see the
Prophet facing Jerusalem in prayers but when he changed his direction towards
the Ka'ba, during the prayers, they disapproved of it.
Al-Bara' added, "Before we changed our direction towards the Ka'ba (Mecca) in
prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and we did not know what to
say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allah then revealed: And Allah would
never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. the prayers of those Muslims
were valid).' " (2:143).
Hadith 1:40
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "If any one of you improve (follows strictly) his Islamic
religion then his good deeds will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times
for each good deed and a bad deed will be recorded as it is."
