It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three types of people with whom Allah will neither speak on the Day of Resurrection, nor will He look at them, nor will He purify them, and for them there will be a painful punishment. I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! Who are these people? They are surely at a loss and in ruin." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) repeated his statement three times and said: The one who lets his lower garment hang below his ankles, the one who sells his goods by swearing a false oath, and the one who reminds others of his favors.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah! (peace and blessings be upon him) The wealthy have taken all the reward; they pray and fast as we do, and in addition, they give charity from their wealth." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Has Allah not appointed for you something to give as charity? Saying 'Subhan Allah' is charity, saying 'Alhamdulillah' is charity, and even fulfilling your desire in a lawful way is charity." The companions (may Allah be pleased with them) said, "O Messenger of Allah! Is it charity for any one of us to fulfill his desire?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "Tell me, if he fulfills his desire in a forbidden way, would he not be sinful? Therefore, when he fulfills it in a lawful way, why should he not be rewarded?"

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: If the servant of any one of you comes to you, then feed him with what you eat yourself, and feed him with what you eat yourself, and clothe him with what you wear yourself. And if he does not suit you, then sell him and do not subject the creation of Allah to torment.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Charity is obligatory upon every joint of each one of you every morning, and every utterance of Subhanallah is charity, every utterance of La ilaha illallah is charity, every utterance of Allahu Akbar is charity, every utterance of Alhamdulillah is charity, enjoining good is charity, and forbidding evil is charity. And all these are sufficed by the two rak‘ahs that any one of you prays at the time of Duha. Remove a thorn, bone, or stone from the path of people, guide a blind person on the way, explain something to a mute or deaf person, guide a needy person to the place where you know his need can be fulfilled, run with your shins to help an oppressed or distressed person, lift up a weak person with the strength of your hands—these are all doors of charity from you upon yourself. In fact, you even receive reward for intimacy with your wife. Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) asked: How can I receive reward for fulfilling my desire? The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Suppose a child is born to you and you hope for good from him, but he dies—do you hope for reward for that? I said: Yes! The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Did you create him? I replied: No, rather Allah created him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Did you guide him? I replied: No, rather Allah guided him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) asked: Did you provide for him? I replied: No, rather Allah provided for him. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: In the same way, use it in a lawful manner and avoid the unlawful. If Allah wills, He will grant life to someone, and if He wills, He will grant death to someone, but you will receive reward for it.

Hanaf bin Qais, may Allah have mercy on him, says that once I was present in Madinah Munawwarah. I was participating in a gathering "in which some people from the Quraysh were also sitting" when a man came (he approached them and said: Glad tidings to those who accumulate wealth, of the branding that will be branded on their backs and will come out from their bellies, and of the branding that will be branded on the nape and will come out from their foreheads. Then he went away to one side). I followed him until he sat down near a pillar. I said to him: I see that these people were not pleased with what you said? He replied: I only say to them what I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say. I asked him: What do you say about this stipend? He said: Take it, for nowadays it helps in many matters. If it is the price of your debt, then leave it.

The previous hadith is also narrated through this second chain of transmission.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that once I submitted in the court of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), "O Messenger of Allah! Advise me with some counsel." The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "If you commit a sin, then perform a good deed afterwards which will erase that sin." I asked, "Is saying 'La ilaha illallah' included among good deeds?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "This is the best of all good deeds."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah says, "Whoever does a good deed will receive ten times its reward, or I may increase it even more. And whoever commits a sin, its recompense will be equal to it, or I may forgive him. Whoever fills the earth with sins and then meets Me in a state that he does not associate anyone with Me, I will decide for him forgiveness equal to that. And whoever comes near to Me by a handspan, I come near to him by an arm's length; and whoever comes near to Me by an arm's length, I come near to him by a fathom; and whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him running."

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The best thing to change the whiteness of hair is henna and katam.

It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Abu Dharr! Soon there will come some rulers who will not perform the prayer at its appointed time. You should perform the prayer at its appointed time. If you come at a time when the people have already prayed, then you have preserved your prayer, and if they have not prayed, then join them, and this prayer will be a voluntary (nafl) prayer for you.
