It is narrated from Abu Umayyah al-Sha'bani that he said: I asked Sayyiduna Abu Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with him) about this verse: "O you who believe, take care of your own selves; the one who goes astray cannot harm you when you are rightly guided" [Surah al-Ma'idah: 105] . He said: "You have asked one who is well informed about it. I myself asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) about it, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'O Abu Tha'labah, enjoin good and forbid evil; but when you see avarice being obeyed, desires being followed, the world being preferred (over the Hereafter), and you see a matter that you have no choice but to pursue, then take care of your own self and leave them and their common folk. For ahead of you are days of patience; patience in them will be like grasping a burning coal (in the fist). The one who does good deeds in those days will have the reward of fifty people who do deeds like his.'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

Mutarrif bin Abdullah narrates from his father that he said: I came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was reciting: "Competition in (worldly) increase diverts you, until you visit the graves" [Surah al-Takathur: 1-2] . He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The son of Adam says: 'My wealth, my wealth!' Yet (O man), of your wealth you have nothing except what you ate and consumed, or wore and wore out, or gave in charity and sent ahead (for yourself)." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bishr bin Jahhash al-Qurashi (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) spat into his palm, then placed his finger on it and said: "Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, says: 'O son of Adam, can you render Me incapable when I created you from something like this? Then, when I fashioned you and made you well-proportioned, you walked (upon the earth) proudly, you amassed wealth and withheld (from fulfilling rights), until, when (the soul) reached the throat, you began to say: Now I will give charity. But where is the time for charity now?'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be modest before Allah Almighty as He truly deserves." We said: "O Prophet of Allah, we (praise be to Allah) are modest." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "That is not what it means. Rather, whoever wishes to be modest before Allah as He truly deserves should guard the head and what it contains (the mind and senses), take care of the stomach and what it holds (of food and thoughts), and remember death and decay (in the grave). Whoever intends the Hereafter abandons the adornment of the world. So whoever does all this has truly been modest before Allah as He deserves." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A time will come upon the people when they will sit in circles in their mosques, but their only aim will be the world.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: When the Prophet of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sent, the troops of Iblis came to him and said: "A Prophet has been sent and his Ummah has emerged." Iblis asked: "Do they love the world?" They said: "Yes." He said: "If they love the world, then I do not care whether they do not worship idols. They will never escape from me; morning and evening I will overpower them through three ways: acquiring wealth unlawfully, spending it in the wrong place, and withholding it from the rights due upon it. And all evil follows on from these." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was asked about the deeds that will most often admit people into Paradise.

He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The two hollow things: the mouth and the private parts."

Live as long as you wish, for you will certainly die; love whomever you wish, for you will certainly part from him; and do whatever deeds you wish, for you will be recompensed for them." Then he said: "O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! The honour of the believer is standing (in prayer) at night (tahajjud), and his dignity lies in his being independent of people."
