وعن عائشة رضي الله عنها قالت‏:‏

‏دخلت علي امرأة ومعها ابنتان لها تسأل ، فلم تجد عندي شيئا غير تمرة واحدة، فأعطيتها إياها فقسمتها بين ابنتيها ولم تأكل منها، ثم قامت فخرجت، فدخل النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم علينا، فأخبرته فقال‏:‏

“‏من ابتلي من هذه البنات بشيء فأحسن إليهن كن له سترًا من النار‏”‏

‏(‏‏(‏البخاري ١٤١٨ و مسلم ٢٦٢٩)‏‏)‏‏.‏”

Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

A woman came to me with her two daughters. She asked me (for charity) but she found nothing with me except one date-fruit, so I gave it to her. She accepted it and then divided it between her two daughters and herself ate nothing out of that. She then got up and went out. When Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) came in, and I narrated to him the story, he said,

“He who is involved (in the responsibility) of (bringing up) daughters, and he is benevolent towards them, they would become protection for him against Hell-fire”.

[Al-Bukhari, 1418 and Muslim, 2629].

وعن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏

‏‏‏”أتدرون من المفلس‏؟‏‏”‏

قالوا ‏:‏ المفلس فينا من لا درهم له ولا متاع

فقال‏:‏ ‏”‏إن المفلس من أمتي يأتي يوم القيامة بصلاة وصيام وزكاة، ويأتي قد شتم هذا، وقذف هذا وأكل مال هذا، وسفك دم هذا، وضرب هذا، فيعطى هذا من حسناته، وهذا من حسناته، فإن فنيت حسناته قبل أن يقضي ما عليه، أخذ من خطاياهم فطرحت عليه، ثم طرح في النار‏”‏

(‏‏(‏رواه مسلم‏، ٢٥٨١)‏‏)‏‏.‏

Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported:

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

“Do you know who is the bankrupt?”

They said: “The bankrupt among us is one who has neither money with him nor any property”.

He said, “The real bankrupt of my Ummah would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with Salat, Saum and Sadaqah (charity), (but he will find himself bankrupt on that day as he will have exhausted the good deeds) because he reviled others, brought calumny against others, unlawfully devoured the wealth of others, shed the blood of others and beat others; so his good deeds would be credited to the account of those (who suffered at his hand). If his good deeds fall short to clear the account, their sins would be entered in his account and he would be thrown in the (Hell) Fire”.

[Muslim, 2581].

فقالوا ‏:‏ يا رسول الله ما لنا من مجالسنا بد؛ نتحدث فيها‏!‏

فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏”‏فإذا أبيتم إلا المجلس فأعطوا الطريق حقه‏”‏

قالوا‏:‏ وما حق الطريق يا رسول الله‏؟‏

عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏

‏ المؤمن القوي خير وأحب إلى الله من المؤمن الضعيف وفي كل خير‏.‏ احرص على ما ينفعك، واستعن بالله ولا تعجز‏.‏ وإن أصابك شيء فلا تقل‏:‏ لو أني فعلت كان كذا وكذا، ولكن قل‏:‏ قدر الله، وما شاء فعل؛ فإن لو تفتح عمل الشيطان‏”

‏ ‏(‏‏(‏ رواه مسلم‏، ٢٦٦٤)‏‏)‏‏‏

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said,

“A strong believer is better and dearer to Allah than a weak one, and both are good. Adhere to that which is beneficial for you. Keep asking Allah for help and do not refrain from it. If you are afflicted in any way, do not say: ‘If I had taken this or that step, it would have resulted into such and such,’ but say only: ‘Allah so determined and did as He willed.’ The word ‘if’ opens the gates of satanic thoughts”.

[Muslim, 2664].

عن أَبي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ الصَّدَقَةِ أَعْظَمُ أَجْرًا قَالَ

أَنْ تَصَدَّقَ وَأَنْتَ صَحِيحٌ شَحِيحٌ تَخْشَى الْفَقْرَ وَتَأْمُلُ الْغِنَى وَلا تُمْهِلُ حَتَّى إِذَا بَلَغَتْ الْحُلْقُومَ قُلْتَ لِفُلانٍ كَذَا وَلِفُلانٍ كَذَا وَقَدْ كَانَ لِفُلانٍ”

البخاري (1419 ) مسلم (1032 )

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: “O Messenger of Allaah, which charity brings a greater reward?” He said,

“If you give in charity when you are healthy and miserly, fearing poverty and hoping for richness. Do not delay until you are at the point of death and you say, ‘Give this to So and so, give this to So and so,’ …”

عن حُذَيْفَةَ بْنَ الْيَمَانِ قال

كَانَ النَّاسُ يَسْأَلُونَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم عَنِ الْخَيْرِ، وَكُنْتُ أَسْأَلُهُ عَنِ الشَّرِّ، مَخَافَةَ أَنْ يُدْرِكَنِي فَقُلْتُ

يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا فِي جَاهِلِيَّةٍ وَشَرٍّ فَجَاءَنَا اللَّهُ بِهَذَا الْخَيْرِ، فَهَلْ بَعْدَ هَذَا الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ

قَالَ ‏‏ نَعَمْ ‏”‏‏.‏

قُلْتُ

وَهَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الشَّرِّ مِنْ خَيْرٍ

قَالَ ‏”‏ نَعَمْ، وَفِيهِ دَخَنٌ ‏”‏‏.‏

قُلْتُ وَمَا دَخَنُهُ

قَالَ

‏”‏ قَوْمٌ يَهْدُونَ بِغَيْرِ هَدْىٍ، تَعْرِفُ مِنْهُمْ وَتُنْكِرُ ‏”‏‏.‏

قُلْتُ فَهَلْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْخَيْرِ مِنْ شَرٍّ

قَالَ ‏”‏ نَعَمْ، دُعَاةٌ عَلَى أَبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ، مَنْ أَجَابَهُمْ إِلَيْهَا قَذَفُوهُ فِيهَا

‏”‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صِفْهُمْ لَنَا‏.‏

قَالَ ‏”‏ هُمْ مِنْ جِلْدَتِنَا، وَيَتَكَلَّمُونَ بِأَلْسِنَتِنَا ‏”‏‏.‏ قُلْتُ فَمَا تَأْمُرُنِي إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي ذَلِكَ

قُلْتُ فَإِنْ لَمْ يَكُنْ لَهُمْ جَمَاعَةٌ وَلاَ إِمَامٌ

رواه البخاري ٧٠٨٤

Narrated Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman:

The people used to ask Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) about the good but I used to ask him about the evil lest I should be overtaken by them. So I said,

“O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! We were living in ignorance and in an (extremely) worst atmosphere, then Allah brought to us this good (i.e., Islam); will there be any evil after this good?”

He said, “Yes.”

I said,

‘Will there be any good after that evil?”

He replied, “Yes, but it will be tainted (not pure.)”

I asked,

“What will be its taint?”

He replied, “(There will be) some people who will guide others not according to my tradition? You will approve of some of their deeds and disapprove of some others.”

I asked, “Will there be any evil after that good?”

He replied, “Yes, (there will be) some people calling at the gates of the (Hell) Fire, and whoever will respond to their call, will be thrown by them into the (Hell) Fire.”

I said, “O Allah s Apostle! Will you describe them to us?”

He said, “They will be from our own people and will speak our language.”

I said, “What do you order me to do if such a state should take place in my life?”

He said, “Stick to the group of Muslims and their Imam (ruler).”

I said, “If there is neither a group of Muslims nor an Imam (ruler)?”

He said, “Then turn away from all those sects even if you were to bite (eat) the roots of a tree till death overtakes you while you are in that state.”

I met Abu Mas’ud near the House (Ka’ba) and said to him: A hadith has been conveyed to me on your authority about the two (concluding verses of Surah al-Baqara. He said: Yes. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (in fact) said:

Anyone who recites the two verses at the end of Surah al-Baqara at night, they would suffice for him.
