The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: O Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him)! Live as you wish (eventually) you will die; love whomever you wish (eventually) you will be separated; do whatever you wish (eventually) you will be recompensed for it. (Know this much) that the honor of a believer is in the night prayer, and his dignity is in being independent of the people.”This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d, Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, and Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them).

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: O Muhammad! Live as you wish (eventually) you will have to die; love whomever you wish (eventually) you will have to part; do whatever you wish (eventually) you will be recompensed for it. (But) know this much: the honor of a believer is in the night prayer, and his dignity is in being independent of people.”This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d, Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah, and Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with them).

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: "O my companions, do you know who is the bankrupt one?" The companions said: Among us, the bankrupt is the one who has neither dirham nor any other goods. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(No, rather) the bankrupt from my Ummah is the one who will come on the Day of Resurrection with prayer, fasting, and zakat, but along with that, he will come having abused someone, slandered someone, consumed someone’s wealth, shed someone’s blood, and beaten someone. So (all those oppressed people) will be given his good deeds (so that the wrongs done to them may be compensated). But if his good deeds run out before the rights of others are fulfilled, then their sins will be taken and cast upon him, then he will be thrown into Hell."

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: "As long as I leave you (i.e., do not give you a new command), you also leave me (i.e., do not ask about new matters). However, when I give you a command, then adopt it. (Remember that) the nations before you were destroyed because of asking too many questions of their prophets and differing with them."

Ibn Tawus narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) appointed Sayyiduna ‘Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) as the collector of charity and said to him:“Abu al-Walid! Fear Allah, (lest it happens that) on the Day of Resurrection you come with a groaning camel, a bellowing cow, or a bleating goat on your neck (which you had embezzled).”

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "On the Day of Resurrection, the pious people will be my friends, even if they are not close to me in lineage (or even if they are). (Be careful) lest it happens that people come to me with (righteous) deeds, while you bring the world (its betrayals and the rights of others that you have usurped) on your shoulders and call out: O Muhammad! And I, turning away to this side and that, will say: 'No.' Then the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) turned to both his sides (in demonstration)."

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Abu Hathmah (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying on the pulpit: "Avoid the seven major sins." The people remained silent and no one said anything (regarding the details). The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Why do you not ask me about these (seven sins)? They are: associating anyone with Allah, unjustly killing a soul, fleeing from battle at the time of fighting the disbelievers, consuming the wealth of an orphan, consuming usury, slandering chaste women, and after migration, settling in the desert and becoming a Bedouin again."

Sayyiduna Sahl bin Sa’d (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“Avoid minor sins. (And do not consider them insignificant. Reflect that) when some people camp in a valley, one person brings a stick, and another brings one. (One by one, so many sticks are gathered that) they light a fire and bake bread and other things. In the same way, if one is held accountable for minor sins, they too can destroy a person.”

Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "Keep avoiding the commission of minor sins, for there will also be accountability for them from Allah Almighty."

Sayyiduna Nu’man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“Place a lawful thing as a barrier between yourself and the unlawful (matters). Whoever does so will safeguard his religion and honor, and whoever (crosses this barrier and commits the unlawful) comes near to it, is like a man who grazes (his cattle) around a forbidden pasture (and it is likely that they will enter it).”
