Sayyiduna Sa’d bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) said during the tribulation of Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan (peace be upon him): I bear witness that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, soon there will be tribulations; in them, the one sitting will be better than the one standing, the one standing will be better than the one walking, and the one walking will be better than the one running.”A man said:“What do you think if the killer enters upon me in my house and extends his hand towards me to kill me?”He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Be like the son of Adam.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: For every soul that is killed unjustly, the first son of Adam (peace be upon him) receives a share of the sin of that blood, because he was the first person who started killing.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When Sayyidah Hawwa (may Allah have mercy on her) conceived, Iblis circled around her, while her child would not survive, and he (Iblis) said: Name him ‘Abd al-Harith, then he will live. When they named him ‘Abd al-Harith, he survived. This was actually at the suggestion and command of Satan.
