Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "If you put your trust in Allah as He deserves to be trusted, He will provide for you as He provides for the birds: they go out hungry in the morning and return with full bellies in the evening."

Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) says that the companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: O Messenger of Allah! When we are with you, we see praiseworthy qualities in ourselves, but when we return to our families and live among them, we consider ourselves sinful. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you were to remain in the same state in your privacy as you are with me, then the angels would shake hands with you and would shade you with their wings in such a way that everyone could see. (In reality, circumstances keep changing) sometimes this and sometimes that."

Sayyiduna Hanzalah Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If you remain in the same state and condition (of faith and conviction) as you are when you are with me, then the angels would begin to shade you with their wings."

Sayyiduna Hanzalah Asadi (may Allah be pleased with him), who was among your scribes, narrates that I met Abu Bakr Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him). He said to me:“Hanzalah! How are you?”I said:“Hanzalah has become a hypocrite.”He said:“Subhan Allah! (He was greatly surprised) What are you saying?”I said:“(The reality is that) when we are with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he admonishes us about Paradise and Hell (so much so that) it seems as if we are seeing Paradise and Hell with our own eyes. But when we leave the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and sit among our families, children, and wealth, we forget many things.”Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said:“By Allah! We also experience this complaint.”So I and Abu Bakr set out and reached the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). I said:“O Messenger of Allah! Hanzalah has become a hypocrite.”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) asked:“How is that?”I said:“When we are with you and you admonish us about Paradise and Hell (then our spiritual state becomes such that) it is as if we are seeing Paradise and Hell with our own eyes, but when we leave your presence and become occupied with our families and possessions, we forget (such states).”The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“By Him in Whose hand is my soul! If you were to remain in the same state as you are with me and remain engaged in the remembrance of Allah, the angels would come to shake hands with you on your beds and in your streets. But Hanzalah! (Situations keep changing) sometimes it is like this and sometimes like that.”He repeated this sentence three times.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Just as a cloud comes before the moon (and dims or blocks its light), so too does a cloud of (sins) cover every heart. (You see that) the moon is shining, then suddenly a cloud comes before it and it becomes dark, and when the cloud moves away, it becomes bright again (the same is the case with the heart)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Each of you should strive for a grateful heart, a tongue that remembers (Allah), and a righteous wife who helps in matters of the Hereafter."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who among you is fasting today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I am." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who among you has visited a sick person today?" Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who among you has attended a funeral prayer today?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have." He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "Who has fed a poor person today?" Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I have." Marwan says that it has reached me that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) finally said: "Whoever combines these qualities in a single day will enter Paradise."

The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever among you wakes up in the morning in a state of security among his family or people, is physically healthy, and has food for one day, then it is as if the whole world with all its possessions has been gathered for him." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mihsan Ansari, Sayyiduna Abu Darda, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, and Sayyiduna Ali (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: "Every person has a specific reputation in the sky; if that reputation is good, then it is good on the earth as well, and if the reputation in the sky is bad, then it is bad on the earth as well."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The example of my Ummah is like that of rain; it is not known whether there is goodness in its beginning or in its end." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Ammar bin Yasir, Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar, Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them).
