| The
Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said:
"Exchange gifts,
and mutual love arises; shake hands, and enmity will
fall away"
The above Hadith was narrated
by Ibn 'Asakir.
|
| Prophet
Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
''Cleanliness is half
of iman* and (the words) al-Hamdulillah (Praise to
God) fills the scale and (the words) Subhanallah wa'l-hamdullilah
(Glory be to God, Praise be to God) fill up what is
between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light.
Charity is a proof. Endurance is brightness. The Quran
is a proof for you or against you. All men go out
early in the morning and sell themselves, thereby
setting themselves free or destroying themselves."
The above Hadith was
reported on the authority of Abu Malik al-'Ash'ari
* Iman
is usually translated
as faith. In another hadith, related by Muslim (No.57)
Iman is described as 'having more than seventy branches,
the highest of which is saying 'La ilah ill Allah'
(there is no god but the One God) and the lowest of
which is removing a harmful obstacle from the path.
And modesty is part of Iman. |

Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said:

his parents has pleased God, and whoever angers them
has angered God"

Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever would
be glad to have his livelihood expanded and his life
prolonged should maintain family ties" |
| The
Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said:
"Whoever has the
following four characteristics is a pure
munafiq (hypocrite). And whoever has one of the
following four characteristics will have one of the
characteristics of hypocrisy:
Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
Whenever he speaks, he lies.
Whenever he makes a promise, he breaks it.
And whenever he argues he behaves very badly."
The above Hadith was
narrated by 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr in Sahih Bukhari and
Muslim
|
| The
Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said:
"A man from among
those who were before you was called to account. Nothing
in the way of good was found for him except that he
used to have dealings with people and, being well-to-do,
he would order his servants to let off the man in
straitened circumstances [from repaying his debt].
He (the Prophet p.b.u.h) said that God said: We are
worthier than you of that (of being so generous).
Let him off."
The above Hadith was related
by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari and an-Nasa'i). |

by Nu'man b. Bashir in Sahih Muslim Book 032, No. 6258 |
