It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that he asked the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "What is the most excellent form of faith?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "To love and hate for the sake of Allah, and to keep your tongue busy with the remembrance of Allah." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Anything else?" The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Like for people what you like for yourself, and dislike for them what you dislike for yourself."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) conveyed this Divine statement: My love is assured for those who love each other for My sake, who meet each other for My sake, and who spend on each other for My sake.

The Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "To love and hate for the sake of Allah, and to keep your tongue busy with the remembrance of Allah." He asked, "O Messenger of Allah!

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Shall I not tell you the doors of goodness? Fasting is a shield, charity extinguishes sins just as water extinguishes fire, and a person's praying at midnight is among the doors of goodness. Then the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse from Surah As-Sajdah: "Their sides forsake their beds... they know."

It is narrated from Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) heard a caller saying during one of his journeys: "Allahu Akbar, Allahu Akbar." The Prophet said, "This is upon the sound nature (fitrah)." Then the caller said, "Ashhadu an la ilaha illallah," so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "He has testified to the truth." When he said, "Ashhadu anna Muhammadur Rasulullah," the Prophet said, "He has come out of Hell. Go and see; either you will find him a shepherd who has separated himself or a captive." The people went and saw that he was a shepherd, and when the time for prayer had come, he had given the call to prayer (adhan).

Abu Qilabah says that when the plague spread in Syria, Hazrat Amr bin Al-Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the army, "This punishment has descended, so to save yourselves from it, go into the mountain passes and valleys." When Hazrat Mu'adh (may Allah be pleased with him) heard this, he did not confirm his statement and said, "Rather, this is martyrdom and mercy and the supplication of your Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). O Allah! Grant Mu'adh and his family a share of Your mercy." Abu Qilabah (may Allah have mercy on him) says, "I understood the meaning of martyrdom and mercy, but I did not understand what was meant by the supplication of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Later, I found out that once the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was praying at night, and while supplicating, he said, 'Then fever or plague,' repeating this phrase three times. In the morning, someone from his family asked, 'O Messenger of Allah! I heard you making this supplication last night?' The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked, 'Did you really hear that supplication?' He said, 'Yes!' The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, 'I requested my Lord not to destroy my Ummah due to famine, so my Lord accepted this supplication. Then I requested that He not impose an external enemy upon them who would shed their blood freely, so my Lord accepted this supplication as well. Then I requested that they not be divided into different sects so that they taste each other's violence, but He did not accept this request. Upon this, I said, "Then fever or plague," three times.'"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Umamah Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I have been granted four virtues over all the prophets (peace be upon them) or nations: I have been sent to all of humanity; the entire earth has been made a place of prostration and a means of purification for me and my ummah, so wherever the time of prayer comes upon a member of my ummah, that place is his mosque and there is soil for his purification; I have been helped by awe (instilled) in the hearts of my enemies from a distance of one month's journey; and spoils of war have been made lawful for us.
