Hadith 1:41
Narrated 'Aisha:
Once the Prophet came while a woman was sitting with me. He said, "Who is she?"
I replied, "She is so and so," and told him about her (excessive) praying. He
said disapprovingly, "Do (good) deeds which is within your capacity (without
being overtaxed) as Allah does not get tired (of giving rewards) but (surely)
you will get tired and the best deed (act of Worship) in the sight of Allah is
that which is done regularly."
Hadith 1:42
Narrated Anas:
The Prophet said, "Whoever said "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah
and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a barley grain will be
taken out of Hell. And whoever said: "None has the right to be worshipped but
Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a wheat grain
will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said, "None has the right to be
worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of an
atom will be taken out of Hell."
Hadith 1:43
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Once a Jew said to me, "O the chief of believers! There is a verse in your Holy
Book Which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had it been revealed to us, we
would have taken that day (on which it was revealed as a day of celebration." 'Umar
bin Al-Khattab asked, "Which is that verse?" The Jew replied, "This day I have
perfected your religion For you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen
for you Islam as your religion." (5:3) 'Umar replied,"No doubt, we know when and
where this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet was
standing at 'Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)"
Hadith 1:44
Narrated Talha bin 'Ubaidullah:
A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allah's Apostle and we heard his loud
voice but could not understand what he was saying, till he came near and then we
came to know that he was asking about Islam. Allah's Apostle said, "You have to
offer prayers perfectly five times in a day and night (24 hours)." The man
asked, "Is there any more (praying)?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you
want to offer the Nawafil prayers (you can)." Allah's Apostle further said to
him: "You have to observe fasts during the month of Ramad, an." The man asked,
"Is there any more fasting?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, but if you want to
observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)" Then Allah's Apostle further said to him,
"You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)." The man asked, "Is there any
thing other than the Zakat for me to pay?" Allah's Apostle replied, "No, unless
you want to give alms of your own." And then that man retreated saying, "By
Allah! I will neither do less nor more than this." Allah's Apostle said, "If
what he said is true, then he will be successful (i.e. he will be granted
Paradise)."
Hadith 1:45
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said, "(A believer) who accompanies the funeral procession of a
Muslim out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's reward and remains with
it till the funeral prayer is offered and the burial ceremonies are over, he
will return with a reward of two Qirats. Each Qirat is like the size of the
(Mount) Uhud. He who offers the funeral prayer only and returns before the
burial, will return with the reward of one Qirat only."
Hadith 1:46
Narrated 'Abdullah:
The Prophet said, "Abusing a Muslim is Fusuq (an evil doing) and "Allah's
Apostle went out to inform the people about the (date of the) night of decree
(Al-Qadr) but there happened a quarrel between two Muslim men. The Prophet said,
"I came out to inform you about (the date of) the night of Al-Qadr, but as so
and so and so and so quarrelled, its knowledge was taken away (I forgot it) and
maybe it was better for you. Now look for it in the 7th, the 9th and the 5th (of
the last 10 nights of the month of Ramadan)."
Hadith 1:47
Narrated Abu Huraira:
One day while the Prophet was sitting in the company of some people, (The angel)
Gabriel came and asked, "What is faith?" Allah's Apostle replied, 'Faith is to
believe in Allah, His angels, (the) meeting with Him, His Apostles, and to
believe in Resurrection." Then he further asked, "What is Islam?" Allah's
Apostle replied, "To worship Allah Alone and none else, to offer prayers
perfectly to pay the compulsory charity (Zakat) and to observe fasts during the
month of Ramadan." Then he further asked, "What is Ihsan (perfection)?" Allah's
Apostle replied, "To worship Allah as if you see Him, and if you cannot achieve
this state of devotion then you must consider that He is looking at you." Then
he further asked, "When will the Hour be established?" Allah's Apostle replied,
"The answerer has no better knowledge than the questioner. But I will inform you
about its portents.
1. When a slave (lady) gives birth to her master.
2. When the shepherds of black camels start boasting and competing with
others in the construction of higher buildings. And the Hour is one of five
things which nobody knows except Allah.
The Prophet then recited: "Verily, with Allah (Alone) is the knowledge of the
Hour--." (31. 34) Then that man (Gabriel) left and the Prophet asked his
companions to call him back, but they could not see him. Then the Prophet said,
"That was Gabriel who came to teach the people their religion." Abu 'Abdullah
said: He (the Prophet) considered all that as a part of faith.
Hadith 1:48
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
I was informed by Abu Sufyan that Heraclius said to him, "I asked you whether
they (followers of Muhammad) were increasing or decreasing. You replied that
they were increasing. And in fact, this is the way of true Faith till it is
complete in all respects. I further asked you whether there was anybody, who,
after embracing his (the Prophets) religion (Islam) became displeased and
discarded it. You replied in the negative, and in fact, this is (a sign of) true
faith. When its delight enters the heart and mixes with them completely, nobody
can be displeased with it."
Hadith 1:49
Narrated An-Nu'man bin Bashir:
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, 'Both legal and illegal things are evident but
in between them there are doubtful (suspicious) things and most of the people
have no knowledge about them. So whoever saves himself from these suspicious
things saves his religion and his honor. And whoever indulges in these
suspicious things is like a shepherd who grazes (his animals) near the Hima
(private pasture) of someone else and at any moment he is liable to get in it.
(O people!) Beware! Every king has a Hima and the Hima of Allah on the earth is
His illegal (forbidden) things. Beware! There is a piece of flesh in the body if
it becomes good (reformed) the whole body becomes good but if it gets spoilt the
whole body gets spoilt and that is the heart.
Hadith 1:50
Narrated Abu Jamra:
I used to sit with Ibn 'Abbas and he made me sit on his sitting place. He
requested me to stay with him in order that he might give me a share from his
property. So I stayed with him for two months. Once he told (me) that when the
delegation of the tribe of 'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet, the Prophet asked
them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegate?" They replied,
"We are from the tribe of Rabi'a." Then the Prophet said to them, "Welcome! O
people (or O delegation of 'Abdul Qais)! Neither will you have disgrace nor will
you regret." They said, "O Allah's Apostle! We cannot come to you except in the
sacred month and there is the infidel tribe of Mudar intervening between you and
us. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) so that we may
inform our people whom we have left behind (at home), and that we may enter
Paradise (by acting on them)." Then they asked about drinks (what is legal and
what is illegal). The Prophet ordered them to do four things and forbade them
from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone and asked them, "Do
you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and
His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet said, "It means:
1. To testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and Muhammad
is Allah's Apostle.
2. To offer prayers perfectly
3. To pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)
4. To observe fast during the month of Ramadan.
5. And to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's
Cause).
Then he forbade them four things, namely, Hantam, Dubba,' Naqir Ann Muzaffat
or Muqaiyar; (These were the names of pots in which Alcoholic drinks were
prepared) (The Prophet mentioned the container of wine and he meant the wine
itself). The Prophet further said (to them): "Memorize them (these instructions)
and convey them to the people whom you have left behind."
Hadith 1:51
Narrated 'Umar bin Al-Khattab:
Allah's Apostle said, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intention and every
person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever
emigrated for Allah and His Apostle, then his emigration was for Allah and His
Apostle. And whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his
emigration was for what he emigrated for."
Hadith 1:52
Narrated Abu Mas'ud:
The Prophet said, "If a man spends on his family (with the intention of having a
reward from Allah) sincerely for Allah's sake then it is a (kind of) alms-giving
in reward for him.
Hadith 1:53
Narrated Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas:
Allah's Apostle said, "You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah's
sake even if it were a morsel which you put in your wife's mouth."
Hadith 1:54
Narrated Jarir bin Abdullah:
I gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle for the following:
1. offer prayers perfectly
2. pay the Zakat (obligatory charity)
3. and be sincere and true to every Muslim.
