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) recited this blessed verse: "So whomever Allah intends to guide, He opens his breast to Islam" [Surah al-An'am: 125] . Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, when the light enters the breast, it becomes expanded." It was said: O Messenger of Allah! Is there any sign by which this can be recognised? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes: withdrawing from the abode of delusion (the world), turning towards the abode of eternity (the Hereafter), and preparing for death before it arrives."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "There are four qualities that are attained only through remarkable (divine enabling): silence, which is the beginning of worship; humility and modesty; the remembrance of Allah; and having little (worldly) wealth and goods." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I ate a lot of meat and tharid, then came and sat in front of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and I began to belch. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Reduce your belching, for those people who eat their fill the most in this world will be hungry for the longest time in the Hereafter." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Abdullah bin Buraydah narrates from his father, Sayyiduna Buraydah (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When a man addresses a hypocrite as 'O master' (or 'Sir'), he has indeed angered his Lord, the Mighty and Majestic." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
