Sahm bin Mu'tamir narrates from Hajimi that he came to Madinah Munawwarah and met the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) in one of the streets of Madinah. He found the Prophet (peace be upon him) in such a state that he was wearing a waistcloth made of cotton, and its edge was spread out. Hajimi said: "O Messenger of Allah! «عليك السلام» " The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: " «عليك السلام» This is the greeting of men." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! Advise me." The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "Do not consider any good deed insignificant, even if (that good deed is that you) give someone a rope as a gift, pour water from your bucket into the vessel of one who asks for water, meet your Muslim brother with a cheerful face, comfort the heart of a person afflicted with fear and anxiety, or give someone a strap as a gift."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah, the Blessed and Exalted, says: When My servant likes to meet Me, I also like to meet him, and when he dislikes to meet Me, I also dislike to meet him."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) regarding the incident of Ifk, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(After praise and glorification) O Aisha! Such things have reached me concerning you. Indeed, you are one of the daughters of Adam. If you are innocent (and chaste), then soon Allah, the Exalted, will declare your innocence. But if you have committed a sin, then seek forgiveness from Allah and turn to Him in repentance. Surely, when a servant confesses his sin and turns to Allah, Allah also accepts his repentance." And in another narration: "Indeed, expressing remorse (over a sin) is repentance from it."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Musa (may Allah be pleased with him), the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, Allah stretches out His hand at night so that the sinner of the day may repent, and He stretches out His hand during the day so that the sinner of the night may repent. This will continue until the sun rises from the west."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he says: A man from the Ansari tribe accepted Islam and then became an apostate and joined the polytheists. Later, he became remorseful for what he had done and sent a message to his people, saying: Ask the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) whether there is repentance for him? So his people came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Indeed, so-and-so has felt regret and has instructed us to ask you whether there is any repentance for him? Then this verse was revealed: "How shall Allah guide a people who disbelieved after their belief..." The verse was recited up to "Most Forgiving, Most Merciful." So the people sent a message to him, and he became Muslim again.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Remain with the person who is being tested, humbling yourself before your Lord and believing in Him."

Sayyiduna Asad bin Kurz (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said to me: "O Asad bin Kurz! You will not enter Paradise because of your deeds, but rather by the mercy of Allah, the Exalted." I said: "O Messenger of Allah! And will you also not enter (Paradise) because of your deeds?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "(Yes,) I also will not, unless Allah, the Exalted, covers me with His mercy (then I will enter Paradise)."

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "None of you will enter Paradise by virtue of his deeds, nor will he be saved by them." The Companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! Not even you? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "No, not even me." Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed with his hand towards his head and said, "Yes, unless Allah covers me with His grace and mercy (then it will be accomplished)." He (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned this two or three times. Then he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Keep to the right course, be moderate, give glad tidings, and worship in the morning, in the evening, and for a part of the night, and be moderate, adopt balance, you will reach your destination. And know that the most beloved deed to Allah is that which is done consistently, even if it is little." This hadith is narrated from multiple Companions, among them are Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah, Sayyidah Aisha, Sayyiduna Jabir, Sayyiduna Abu Saeed Khudri, and Sayyiduna Usamah bin Sharik (may Allah be pleased with them).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Tawil Shatb Mamdood (may Allah be pleased with him) that he came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: What do you think about a man who has committed all sins and has left no sin uncommitted, and in this regard, he has fulfilled every small and big (evil) need and desire of his? Is there any repentance for such a person? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Have you become a Muslim?" He said: Indeed, I bear witness that there is no deity except Allah, He is alone, He has no partner, and indeed you are the Messenger of Allah. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes, (the repentance of such a person can be accepted, but the point is that) you should continue to do righteous deeds and abandon evil deeds, Allah Almighty will turn all your sins into good deeds." He said: Will all my deceptions and all my immoralities (also be turned into good deeds)? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes." He said: Allahu Akbar (Allah is the Greatest), and then he kept saying Allahu Akbar until he disappeared.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him), he says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "A man will be brought on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said: Present to him his minor sins, so they will be presented to him, and his major sins will be concealed. And (to make him confess) it will be said to him: Did you commit such and such sin on such and such day? (In response) he will confess and will not deny, but he will be afraid of his major sins (being presented). (Then) it will be said: For every sin of his, grant him a good deed." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(Seeing this state of Divine mercy) that servant will say: I had some other sins as well, which I do not see here." Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I saw the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) laughing so much (after saying this) that his molar teeth became visible.
