. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, has also narrated a similar hadith from the Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him.

It is narrated from Sulaim bin Amir that Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) stated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed the people during the Farewell Pilgrimage, while he (peace be upon him) was mounted on the camel Jad‘a, his foot placed in the stirrup, and he stood up and raised his voice and said: Are you listening? A man from behind the people said: What are you saying? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Worship your Lord, perform the five prayers, fast in your month, pay the zakat of your wealth, and obey your leader, you will enter the Paradise of your Lord. I said: O Abu Umamah! When did you hear this hadith? He said: I heard it when I was thirty years old.

Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ablution is half of faith,“Alhamdulillah”fills the scale, and“Subhanallah, and Allahu Akbar, and La ilaha illallah, and Allahu Akbar”fill the space between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light, charity is proof, patience is illumination, and the Qur’an will be an argument for you or against you. Every person sets out in the morning selling his soul, so he either ruins it or frees it.

Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Surely, in Paradise there are such lofty chambers that their inside can be seen from their outside and their outside can be seen from their inside. Allah Almighty has prepared them for those who feed others, speak gently, fast continuously, and pray at night when people are asleep.

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) also narrated a similar hadith of the Prophet. Sayyiduna Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! For whom are these lofty chambers? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: For the one who speaks gently, feeds others, and spends the night standing in prayer for Allah while people are asleep.

It is narrated from Sayyida Durrah bint Abi Lahab (may Allah be pleased with her), she says that a man stood up and came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was on the pulpit, and he said: O Messenger of Allah! Which people are the best? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best among the people is the one who recites the most, fears the most, commands the most good, forbids the most evil, and maintains the most ties of kinship.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! Which deed is the best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: To have faith in Allah and to strive in His path. He said: What if I do not have the strength to do that? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then restrain your soul from evil, for this too will be a charity that you do for your own self.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever performs the five prayers, performs Hajj of the Sacred House, and fasts in Ramadan, then it is Allah’s right to forgive him, whether he migrates in His path or remains in the land where he was born. The narrator does not remember whether the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned zakat in this hadith or not. Sayyiduna Mu’adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! Should I inform the people of this hadith? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Mu’adh! Leave it and do not inform the people (so that they may continue to perform other good deeds as well), for there are one hundred levels in Paradise, and between each two levels is a distance of one hundred years’ journey. The highest and most distinguished level of Paradise is Firdaus; from it the rivers of Paradise flow forth. Therefore, when you ask Allah, ask for Firdaus.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was sitting in the mosque. I came and sat down. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Dharr! Have you prayed? I said: No. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Get up and pray. So I prayed and then sat down. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Dharr! Seek refuge with Allah from the devils among mankind and jinn. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Are there devils among mankind too? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, absolutely. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Tell me something about prayer. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is the best thing that has been made; whoever wishes may pray less, and whoever wishes may pray more. I said: O Messenger of Allah! (Tell me about) fasting. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It is such an obligation that its reward will also be given, and with Allah there is much more besides. I said: O Messenger of Allah! (Tell me about) charity. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It will be multiplied many times. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Which charity is best? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: That which is given by a person of little means according to his capacity, or given secretly to a poor person. I said: O Messenger of Allah! Who was the first prophet? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Adam (peace be upon him). I said: Was Adam (peace be upon him) a prophet? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, he was a prophet and he was spoken to. I said: O Messenger of Allah! How many messengers are there? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: About three hundred and fifteen or sixteen. In one narration: Three hundred and fifteen, a great multitude. I said: O Messenger of Allah! What is the greatest thing revealed to you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ayat al-Kursi {اَللّٰہُ لَا اِلٰہَ اِلَّا ھُوَ الْحَیُّ الْقَیُّوْمُ}. In one narration, he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited the entire verse.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu’adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) delayed so long one morning before the Fajr prayer that it was almost as if the edge of the sun would appear. In any case, then he (peace and blessings be upon him) came quickly, the iqamah was called for prayer, he (peace and blessings be upon him) led a brief prayer, and when he finished with salam, he said: Remain seated in your rows as you are. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) turned towards us and said: Indeed, I will tell you what kept me from you this morning. I stood in prayer during the night and prayed as much as was destined for me. While I was in prayer, drowsiness overcame me. Then when I awoke, I saw that I was before my Lord, the Exalted, and Allah, the Exalted, was in a very beautiful form. Allah, the Exalted, said: O Muhammad! In what do the angels who are near (to Me) dispute? I said: O my Lord! I do not know. Allah, the Exalted, again said: In what do the angels who are near dispute? I said: O my Lord! I do not know. Then Allah, the Exalted, placed His palm between my shoulders, and I felt the coolness of His fingertips in my chest, and everything became clear to me and I attained knowledge. Then Allah, the Exalted, said: O Muhammad! (Now tell Me) in what do the angels who are near dispute? I said: In the expiations. He said: What are the expiations? I said: Walking to the congregational prayers, sitting in the mosque after the prayer, and performing complete ablution despite disliked matters. Then Allah, the Exalted, said: What are the degrees? I said: Feeding (others), speaking gently, and praying at night when people are asleep. Then Allah, the Exalted, said: Ask (of Me). I said: O Allah! I ask You for doing good deeds, abandoning evil deeds, loving the poor, that You forgive me and have mercy on me, and when You intend to send a trial upon a people, then take me (from this world) without being afflicted by that trial, and I ask You for Your love, the love of those who love You, and the love of the deed which brings me closer to Your love. Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This is the truth, so learn it and teach it.
