Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah knows about everything He has declared unlawful that surely someone among you will look into it. Beware! Indeed, I am holding your waists to prevent you from falling into the Fire (and you are falling) like moths and rain insects fall into the fire."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, my example and your example is like that of a person who kindled a fire, and when it lit up what was around him, moths and other creatures that fall into the fire began to fall into it. So I am holding you back from falling into the fire by grasping you by your waists, but you are slipping from my hands and falling into it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Muawiyah bin Humaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) that indeed the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with me that I am grabbing you by your waists, saving you from the Fire?"

Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that I went to the service of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and two men from the Ash‘ari tribe were with me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Musa!" or he said: "O Abdullah bin Qais! Indeed, we do not appoint to our work the one who desires it."

Abu Qatadah and Abu Dahma say that we came to a Bedouin man, and he said that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, took my hand and taught me those things which Allah Almighty had taught him. So among the things that I remembered from what I heard from him, one was this: "Indeed, whatever you leave out of fear of Allah, Allah will grant you something better than it."

This hadith is also narrated through another chain from Humaid bin Hilal with his chain in the same manner, but in it, this hadith is narrated from Abu Qatadah and Abu Bilal, and they also mentioned the name of that man.

Humaid bin Hilal narrates from a man, who said that I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), a pulpit was placed for you whose legs were of iron, I memorized what you taught me, you said: "Indeed, whatever you leave for the sake of seeking Allah's pleasure, Allah will grant you something better in its place."

Humaid bin Hilal narrates from the person who either asked the Prophet (peace be upon him) or heard from him. He said: I presented myself before the Prophet (peace be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. I said: Teach me from the knowledge that Allah has granted you. The Prophet (peace be upon him) descended (from the pulpit), and a chair made of palm bark with iron legs was placed for him. Then he said: "Indeed, whatever you leave for the sake of Allah out of fear of Him, Allah will grant you something better in its place." Rifaa’ah ‘Adawi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I presented myself before the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. I said: O Messenger of Allah! I am a stranger, I have come to ask you about the religion, I do not have knowledge about the religion. He says that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) descended (from the pulpit), interrupted his sermon, then a chair made of palm bark with iron legs was brought, and he began to teach me what Allah Almighty had taught him. Then he (again) ascended the pulpit for his sermon.

Sayyiduna Hasan bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) reports that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, bringing happiness to your Muslim brother is among the deeds that make forgiveness obligatory.”

Miqdam bin Shurayh narrates from his father, who narrates from his grandfather, he said: I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Which deed is it that will admit me to Paradise? The Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“Indeed, spreading peace and speaking good words are among the actions that make forgiveness obligatory.”
