Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will grant shade to seven types of people on the Day when there will be no shade except His shade: (1) a just ruler, (2) a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah Almighty, (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosques, (4) two men who loved each other for the sake of Allah Almighty, gathered for His sake and parted for His sake, (5) a man who gave charity so secretly that his left hand did not know what his right hand spent, (6) a man who remembered Allah Almighty in solitude and his eyes overflowed with tears, and (7) a man whom a woman of status and beauty invited to herself (for evil), but he said: I fear Allah Almighty.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us regarding seven things and forbade us from seven things. The things which he commanded were: visiting the sick, attending funerals, saying“Yarhamukallah”to one who sneezes, replying to greetings, fulfilling the oath of one who swears, accepting the invitation of one who invites, and helping the oppressed. And the things from which he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade were: silver utensils, gold bracelets, istabraq (a type of silk), silk, dibaj (another type of silk), mounts or boats adorned with silk or dibaj, and qassi (a kind of cloth).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Kabsha Anmari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three things upon which I swear, and I will narrate to you a hadith, so remember it. The three things upon which I swear are: (1) Charity does not decrease a servant’s wealth, (2) Whoever is wronged and then is patient, Allah increases him in honor, and (3) When a servant opens the door of begging, Allah opens for him the door of poverty. Now I will narrate to you a hadith, so remember it: The world is only for four types of people: (1) A man whom Allah has given wealth and knowledge, and he fears Allah regarding them, maintains family ties, and recognizes the rights of Allah related to them—this person is of the highest rank; (2) A man whom Allah has given knowledge but not wealth, so he sincerely wishes and says: If I had wealth, I would do righteous deeds like so-and-so—these two have equal reward; (3) A man whom Allah has given wealth but not knowledge, so he spends his wealth recklessly and without thought, and neither fears Allah regarding it, nor maintains family ties, nor recognizes the rights of Allah related to it—this person is of the lowest rank; and (4) A man whom Allah has given neither wealth nor knowledge, but seeing the character of that lowly person, he says: If I had wealth, I would do deeds like so-and-so—this is his intention, and the sin of these two is equal.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: My beloved friend commanded me with seven things. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to love the poor and to keep close to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to look at those who are below me and not to look at those who are above me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to maintain ties of kinship, even if they turn their backs on me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me not to ask anyone for anything. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to speak the truth, even if it is bitter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me not to fear the blame of any blamer regarding Allah. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to frequently recite "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah," for it is one of the treasures beneath the Throne.
