It is narrated from Iyad bin Ghatif, he says: We went to visit Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah bin Jarrah (may Allah be pleased with him) as he was ill, and his wife Tuheefa was sitting by his head. I asked: How did Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) spend the night? The woman said: By Allah! He spent the night with reward and recompense, but Sayyiduna Abu Ubaidah (may Allah be pleased with him) himself said: I did not spend it with reward, while he was facing the wall. Then he turned towards the people and said: Why do you not ask about the thing I have said? They said: You have not said anything astonishing that we should ask about it. Then he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Whoever spends extra things in the protection of Allah, he will get seven hundred times the reward, and whoever spends on himself and his family, or visits a sick person, or removes something harmful, he will get ten times the reward for that good deed, and fasting is a shield, but only as long as the fasting person does not tear it, and whoever Allah tests through the trial of his body, his sins will be forgiven through that hardship.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A Muslim has six rights over another Muslim in the form of goodness: when he meets him, he should greet him with Salam; when he sneezes, he should say "Yarhamukallah" (may Allah have mercy on you); when he falls ill, he should visit him; when he invites him, he should accept; when he passes away, he should participate in his funeral prayer; whatever he likes for himself, he should like for him as well, and in his absence, he should wish well for him.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Ubada bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Guarantee me six things and I will guarantee you Paradise: (1) When you speak, speak the truth; (2) When you make a promise, fulfill it; (3) When something is entrusted to you, return it; (4) Guard your private parts; (5) Lower your gaze; (6) And restrain your hands.

Narrated from Sayyiduna Khuraim bin Fatik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Deeds are six and people are four. Two are obligatory, two are equal, one good deed is tenfold, and one good deed is seven hundredfold. The two obligatory are these: Whoever dies in such a state that he does not associate partners with Allah, will enter Paradise; and whoever dies in such a state that he associates partners with Allah, will enter Hell. The two equal are these: Whoever intends to do a good deed so much that his heart understands it and Allah knows it, one good deed will be written for him; and whoever commits an evil deed, only one evil deed will be written for him. Whoever does a good deed, its reward will be tenfold; whoever spends in the way of Allah and does a good deed, its reward will be seven hundredfold. As for the matter of people: Whoever is given abundance in this world, will have constriction in the Hereafter; whoever is given constriction in this world, will have abundance in the Hereafter; and some are such that abundance will be chosen for them in both this world and the Hereafter.

Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah Almighty will grant shade to seven types of people on the Day when there will be no shade except His shade: (1) a just ruler, (2) a youth who grew up in the worship of Allah Almighty, (3) a man whose heart is attached to the mosques, (4) two men who loved each other for the sake of Allah Almighty, gathered for His sake and parted for His sake, (5) a man who gave charity so secretly that his left hand did not know what his right hand spent, (6) a man who remembered Allah Almighty in solitude and his eyes overflowed with tears, and (7) a man whom a woman of status and beauty invited to herself (for evil), but he said: I fear Allah Almighty.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bara’ bin Azib (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us regarding seven things and forbade us from seven things. The things which he commanded were: visiting the sick, attending funerals, saying“Yarhamukallah”to one who sneezes, replying to greetings, fulfilling the oath of one who swears, accepting the invitation of one who invites, and helping the oppressed. And the things from which he (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade were: silver utensils, gold bracelets, istabraq (a type of silk), silk, dibaj (another type of silk), mounts or boats adorned with silk or dibaj, and qassi (a kind of cloth).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Kabsha Anmari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There are three things upon which I swear, and I will narrate to you a hadith, so remember it. The three things upon which I swear are: (1) Charity does not decrease a servant’s wealth, (2) Whoever is wronged and then is patient, Allah increases him in honor, and (3) When a servant opens the door of begging, Allah opens for him the door of poverty. Now I will narrate to you a hadith, so remember it: The world is only for four types of people: (1) A man whom Allah has given wealth and knowledge, and he fears Allah regarding them, maintains family ties, and recognizes the rights of Allah related to them—this person is of the highest rank; (2) A man whom Allah has given knowledge but not wealth, so he sincerely wishes and says: If I had wealth, I would do righteous deeds like so-and-so—these two have equal reward; (3) A man whom Allah has given wealth but not knowledge, so he spends his wealth recklessly and without thought, and neither fears Allah regarding it, nor maintains family ties, nor recognizes the rights of Allah related to it—this person is of the lowest rank; and (4) A man whom Allah has given neither wealth nor knowledge, but seeing the character of that lowly person, he says: If I had wealth, I would do deeds like so-and-so—this is his intention, and the sin of these two is equal.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: My beloved friend commanded me with seven things. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to love the poor and to keep close to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to look at those who are below me and not to look at those who are above me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to maintain ties of kinship, even if they turn their backs on me. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me not to ask anyone for anything. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to speak the truth, even if it is bitter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me not to fear the blame of any blamer regarding Allah. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded me to frequently recite "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah," for it is one of the treasures beneath the Throne.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) that a man asked: O Messenger of Allah! Which is the best deed? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: To have faith in Allah, to affirm it, to strive in the way of Allah, and Hajj Mabroor. The man said: O Messenger of Allah! You have mentioned many things. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Then speak gently, feed others, forgive, and have good character. The man said: I only want one word. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Go, and protect yourself from having bad thoughts about Allah.

Abu Zhabiyah says: Shurahbil bin Simt called Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah Salami (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: O son of Abasah! Can you narrate such a hadith which you yourself have heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and in which there is no addition or mixture of falsehood, and you have not narrated that hadith from any other person who heard it? He said: Yes, I myself heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Allah Almighty said: Surely, My love is established for those who love each other for My sake; My love is established for those who maintain pure relations with each other for My sake; My love is established for those who visit and meet each other for My sake; My love is established for those who spend for My sake; and My love is established for those who help each other for My sake. Then Sayyiduna Amr bin Abasah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Whoever shoots an arrow in the way of Allah, whether it hits the target or not, he will get the reward of freeing a slave from the descendants of Ismail (peace be upon him); whoever grows old in the way of Allah, this act will be a light for him; whichever Muslim frees a Muslim slave, for every limb of the freed one, a limb of the liberator will be freed from the Fire; whichever Muslim woman frees a Muslim woman, for every limb of the freed woman, a limb of the liberator will be freed from Hell; whichever Muslim man or woman has sent ahead (i.e., lost) three minor children from their offspring, they will become a shield for him against the Fire (i.e., he will not enter Hell); whoever gets up to perform ablution with the intention of prayer and lets the water reach its place, he will be purified from every sin or mistake. Now, if he performs the prayer, Allah Almighty will raise his rank, and if he just sits, he will sit purified (from sins). Shurahbil, for confirmation, said: O son of Abasah! Did you yourself hear this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)? He said: Yes, by Him besides whom there is no deity, if I had heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) once or twice or three or four or five or six or seven or eight or nine times, I would not swear an oath, meaning I would not care about narrating it to anyone; by Allah! The fact is that I do not remember the number of times I heard this hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
