It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever seeks fame among people through his deeds, Allah Almighty will make His creation hear about him on the Day of Resurrection and will humiliate and disgrace him."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Faith becomes worn out in your hearts just as clothes become worn out, so keep asking Allah Almighty to renew faith in your hearts."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Some people passed by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) carrying a funeral bier. The people spoke well of the deceased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), upon hearing this, said: "It has become obligatory." Then another funeral bier was carried past, and the people spoke ill of the deceased. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "It has become obligatory." Then he said: "You are witnesses over one another."

Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), while mentioning the people of the cave, said:“Three men took refuge in a cave. A part of the mountain fell over the entrance of the cave and blocked their way. One of them said: Remember if any of you has done a righteous deed, perhaps Allah, due to His mercy, will have mercy on us. One man said: I once did a good deed, (the details are as follows:) Some laborers used to work for me. My workers came to me, and I gave each one his fixed wage. One day, a man came to me at midday. I put him to work, but due to the half day, it was decided to give him half the wage of the other workers. However, he did as much work in half a day as the others did in a full day, so I felt responsible to give him the full wage like his other companions, because he worked with full effort. One of them objected, saying: Are you giving him the same wage as me, even though he worked only half a day? I said: O servant of Allah! I have not reduced anything from what was agreed upon with you; this is my wealth, and I can decide about it as I wish. (At my words) he became angry and left, abandoning his wage. I kept his due in a corner of my house. Later, a cow passed by me, and I bought a calf that had been weaned from its mother with his wage. (Its offspring increased and) the cows multiplied. One day, that same laborer passed by me; he had become old and weak, so I did not recognize him. He said: My due is with you. When he reminded me, I understood. I said: I was looking for you. Presenting (all the cows) to him, I said: This is your due. He said: O servant of Allah! Do not mock me. If you cannot show kindness to me, at least give me my due. I said: By Allah! I am not mocking you; this is your right, and there is nothing of mine in it. So I gave him all the wealth. O Allah! If I did this good deed for Your sake, then create an opening for us through it. (Because of this supplication) the rock moved (or split) so much that the outside environment became visible.

The second said: I too once did a good deed. (The details are as follows:) I had wealth in excess of my needs. People were afflicted with hardship. A woman came to me to ask for some wealth. I said: By Allah! Its only price is your private part. She refused my demand and left. She told her husband about it, and he said: Give yourself to him (i.e., let him commit adultery) and (by taking something) fulfill the needs of your children. She came and swore by Allah to me, but I refused as before and said: First you must sell yourself (i.e., surrender your honor). When she saw this situation, she gave herself over to me. When I undressed her and intended to commit the act, she began to tremble beneath me. I said to her: What has happened to you? She said: I fear Allah, the Lord of the worlds. I said to her: You fear Him despite your poverty, and I do not fear Him in my prosperity? So I left her, and for the crime of undressing her, I gave her what was due upon me. O Allah! If I did this good deed for Your sake, then remove this (rock) today. (Because of this supplication) it moved further, until they began to recognize one another.

The third said: I too did a good deed. (The details are as follows:) My parents were old, and I had goats. I would feed my parents and give them milk to drink, then return to my goats. One day, rain prevented me from returning (on time), and evening fell there. When I reached home, I took a vessel, milked the goats, and brought it to my parents, but they had fallen asleep before I arrived. On one hand, it was hard for me to wake them, and on the other, I was worried about leaving the goats unprotected. Nevertheless, I sat holding the vessel, waiting for them, until they woke up in the morning, and I gave them milk to drink. O Allah! If I did this good deed for Your sake, then remove (this rock). Sayyiduna Nu’man says: It is as if I am still hearing these words from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Allah removed (the rock) from the mouth of the cave, and they came out.”

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Indeed, the Dajjal will roam over all the earth except Makkah and Madinah. When he will try to come towards Madinah, he will see rows of angels on every path leading to it. He will come to the place of ‘Sabkhat al-Jurf’ (or the salty land of Jurf) and will camp at its front part. Then Madinah will shake violently three times, and every hypocrite man and woman will go out to him.”

Sayyiduna Abu Sa‘id Zarqi (may Allah be pleased with him) says: A man asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) about ‘azl (withdrawal), saying: My wife is still breastfeeding, and I do not want her to become pregnant (so can I practice ‘azl)? The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“Whatever has been decreed in fate regarding the womb will surely come to pass.”

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) reports: A man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked about coitus interruptus (‘azl). The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“If it is decreed for a child to be born from the semen, then even if you spill it on a rock, Allah the Exalted will bring forth a child from it. Allah the Exalted will surely create every soul that He has destined to create.”

Qais bin Sakan Asadi says: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) went to his wife and saw that she had hung an amulet because of the disease of measles. He cut it off very harshly and said: The family and descendants of Abdullah are free from shirk (polytheism). Then he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, incantations, amulets, and love charms are all shirk."

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) says: I heard three things from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) in favor of Banu Tamim, after which I never bore any enmity towards Banu Tamim. (Their details are as follows:) (1) Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) had vowed to free a slave from the descendants of Isma'il (peace be upon him). Meanwhile, some people from Banu Anbar were taken captive. When they were brought, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you want to fulfill your vow, then free one slave from among them." That is, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared them to be the descendants of Isma'il. (2) Once, some camels given in charity were brought to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and their beauty and elegance amazed him. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "These are the camels of my people." That is, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) declared them to be his own people. He also said: (3) "They are fierce fighters in intense battles."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Satan has despaired of being worshipped in your (Arabian Peninsula's) land, but he will be satisfied with (making you commit) such sins which you consider insignificant."
