It is narrated from Hazrat Abdullah bin Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have modesty before Allah as is His due." Ibn Masood (may Allah be pleased with him) said: We said, "O Messenger of Allah! We do have modesty." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is not (true) modesty. Rather, whoever has modesty before Allah as is His due, he should protect his head and what it contains, and he should protect his stomach and what it contains, and he should remember death and decaying (in the grave), and whoever desires the Hereafter, he leaves the adornment of the world. So whoever does these things, indeed he has fulfilled the right of modesty before Allah."

It is narrated from Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) had a she-camel which was called ‘Adhba’. No one could surpass this she-camel. Then a Bedouin came riding a young camel and surpassed this she-camel. This was very hard on the Muslims. They said,“O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! ‘Adhba’ has been surpassed.”The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, it is incumbent upon Allah that whatever rises high in this world, Allah will also bring it down.”

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Burdah that he says: I went to the service of Hazrat Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), and she showed me a thick lower garment. This lower garment was made from the clothes that are made in Yemen. She took out one of those sheets which you call a patched sheet. Then she made me swear an oath and said: The blessed soul of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was taken in these two garments.

It is narrated from a man of the tribe of Banu Salim... or Fahm... that a gift was brought to the Noble Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him). So he looked around but did not find anything in which he could place it, so he (peace be upon him) said: "Place it on the ground (itself). So this is also a servant who eats like other servants eat. And he drinks just as other servants drink. And if the weight of the world with Allah were even equal to the wing of a mosquito, no disbeliever would be able to drink even a sip of water from this world."

Hazrat Abu Salamah narrates, he says that Hazrat Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) submitted: O Messenger of Allah ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم )! Please give me some advice. The Prophet ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:“Worship Allah as if you see Him. And count yourself among the dead. And remember Allah near every tree and stone, and whenever you commit a sin, follow it up with a good deed—one done secretly for a secret sin, and one done openly for an open sin.”

Hazrat Abu Salamah narrates, he says that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, used to say: "Remember frequently the destroyer of pleasures... that is, death."

Upon this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "He is not as you have described him."

It is narrated from Hazrat Rabee’ that he says: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Death alone is sufficient to make one disinterested in the world and to create eagerness for the Hereafter.
