And the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The heart is called "qalb" because it keeps turning, and the example of the heart is like that of a feather at the root of a tree, which the wind keeps turning over and over.

And the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "There are coming trials ahead of you like the dark portions of the night. In that time, a man will be a Muslim in the morning and a disbeliever in the evening, or he will be a Muslim in the evening and a disbeliever in the morning. In that time, the one who is sitting will be better than the one who is standing, the one who is standing will be better than the one who is walking, and the one who is walking will be better than the one who is running." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) asked: "Then what do you command us to do?" The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Become like the mat of your house."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In times of tribulation, break your bows, cut their strings, cling to your houses, and become like the best son of Adam (Habeel).

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The example of the Muslim who recites the Noble Qur'an is like that of the citron, whose taste is good and whose fragrance is good. The example of the Muslim who does not recite the Qur'an is like that of the date, whose taste is good but it has no fragrance. The example of the sinner who recites the Qur'an is like that of the basil, whose taste is bitter but its fragrance is good. And the example of the wicked person who does not recite the Qur'an is like that of the colocynth, whose taste is bitter and it has no fragrance.

Hattan bin Abdullah says that once Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) led his companions in prayer. During the prayer, when they sat in the "jalsa" (sitting position), someone said that prayer has been equated with virtue and zakat. After finishing the prayer, Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) turned towards the people and asked, "Who among you said this statement?" The people remained silent. He said to Hattan, "Hattan! Perhaps you said this sentence?" Hattan said, "By Allah! I did not say this sentence, and I was afraid that you might consider me foolish." Then a man spoke up and said, "I said the sentence, and I said it only with a good intention." Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Do you not know what should be recited in prayer? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once gave us a sermon, and in it, he clarified for us the Sunnahs and the method of prayer, and said: 'Keep your rows straight. Then, the one who knows more Qur'an should lead the prayer. When he says the takbeer, you also say the takbeer. When he says 'wa la ad-dalleen,' you say 'Ameen.' Allah will accept your supplication. When he says the takbeer and goes into ruku', you also say the takbeer and go into ruku', because the imam will bow before you and will raise his head before you; this is thus equal. When he says 'Sami' Allahu liman hamidah,' you say 'Rabbana lakal hamd.' Allah will accept your supplication, because Allah has said through the tongue of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that whoever praises Allah, Allah hears him. When he says the takbeer and goes into prostration, you also say the takbeer and prostrate, because the imam will prostrate before you and will raise his head before you; and this is also equal. When he sits in the final sitting (qa'dah), then first of all you should say: 'At-tahiyyatu-tayyibatu-salawatu-lillah, as-salamu 'alayka ayyuhan-nabiyyu wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh, as-salamu 'alayna wa 'ala 'ibadillahis-saliheen, ash-hadu an la ilaha illallah wa ash-hadu anna Muhammadan 'abduhu wa rasuluh.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I was with the men of the Ash'ari tribe, one of whom was on my right and the other on my left. At that time, the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) was using a miswak. Both of them asked the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) for a position. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me, "Abu Musa! What do you say?" I replied, "By Him Who sent you with the truth, they did not inform me of their intention, nor did I think that they would request any position." That scene is still before my eyes when the miswak of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went under his lip. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "We do not give any position to one who asks us for it. However, O Abu Musa! You go." And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) sent them to Yemen. Then he sent Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) after them. When Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) arrived there, Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "Please come," and arranged a cushion for him. There, a man was seen tied with ropes. Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) asked, "What is the matter with him?" They replied, "He was a Jew who accepted Islam, then turned back to his disliked religion and became a Jew again." Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I will not sit down until he is killed. This is the decision of Allah and His Messenger." (He said this three times.) So Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) gave the order and he was killed. Then we began to talk about standing in prayer at night (Qiyam al-Layl). Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) said, "I sleep and I stand (in prayer), I stand (in prayer) and I sleep, and I hope for reward for my sleep just as I hope for reward for standing (in prayer)."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that when a beggar would come to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to the people: "Intercede for him, you will be rewarded, and Allah will decree through the tongue of His Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) whatever He wills." And he said: "A Muslim is like a building for another Muslim, one part of which strengthens the other." And the trustworthy treasurer is the one who, when he is commanded regarding something, fulfills it completely, perfectly, and with a happy heart, so that what the donors have ordered to be given reaches those for whom it is intended.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Many men have attained perfection, but among women, only Asiya (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Pharaoh, and Maryam (peace be upon her) have attained perfection. And the superiority of Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) over all women is like the superiority of tharid over all other foods."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Jews used to fast on the day of Ashura and celebrated it as a festival. The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You should also fast on this day.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the Day of Resurrection comes, every Muslim will be given a man from other religions and sects and it will be said: This person is your ransom from Hell.
