It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) brought a slave to Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her), whom he gifted to her. Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her) had a cloth; when she covered her head with it, it would not reach her feet, and when she covered her feet with it, it would not reach her head. When the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw her distress, he said: "(If the covering is not complete) there is no harm, because (here) there is only your father and your slave."

Sayyiduna Umar bin Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) distributed something. I said: By Allah! O Messenger of Allah! Other people were more deserving of it. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "(In reality) these people gave me (two options): either they would ask me rudely, or they would call me stingy, and I am not stingy."

Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I recognize your anger and your pleasure." She said: I asked, "O Messenger of Allah! How do you recognize it?" He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "When you are pleased, you say, 'By the Lord of Muhammad!' and when you are angry, you say, 'By the Lord of Ibrahim!'" Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I replied, "Yes, (but) I only leave out your name (there is no anger in my heart)."

Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The person of Paradise is the one whom Allah causes to hear good praise from people and he is listening, and the person of Hell is the one whom Allah causes to hear evil from people and he is listening."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Fadala bin Ubaid (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Do not ask about (the punishment of) three types of people: (1) A person who separated himself from the community and disobeyed the Imam and died in that state; (2) A slave, male or female, who ran away (from their master) and died in that state; and (3) A woman whose husband provided for her worldly needs and then went away, and she adorned herself and went out (in his absence). Do not ask about them. Similarly, there are three people (about whose punishment also) do not inquire: (1) A person who tried to snatch Allah’s cloak, and Allah’s cloak is majesty and His lower garment is honor (and power); (2) A person who doubted Allah’s command; and (3) A person who despaired of Allah’s mercy."

Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Modesty is part of faith, and faith leads to Paradise. And foul speech and bad language are from harshness (and bad character), and harshness leads to the Fire."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:“May Allah have mercy on the person who has wronged his brother in respect of his honor or wealth, and then goes to him and seeks his pardon before (the Day comes when) he will be held accountable, and where there will be neither dinar nor dirham. (There, the matter will be settled in such a way that) if he (the oppressor) has good deeds, they will be taken from him, and if he has no good deeds, then (the oppressed) people’s sins will be cast upon him.”

Amr bin Habib said to Saeed bin Khalid bin Amr bin Uthman: "Do you not know that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'That servant has failed and is deprived in whose heart Allah Almighty has not placed gentleness for humanity.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:“May Allah have mercy on the person who has wronged his brother in respect of his honor or wealth, and then goes to him and seeks his pardon before (the day comes) when he will be held accountable and where there will be neither dinar nor dirham. (There, the matter will be settled in such a way that) if he (the oppressor) has good deeds, they will be taken from him, and if he has no good deeds, then (the oppressed) people will cast their sins upon him.”

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) said: Musa (peace be upon him) asked his Lord about six things, and he thought that these were specific to him, and he disliked the seventh thing.

(1) Musa (peace be upon him) said: O my Lord! Which of Your servants is the most pious? Allah Almighty said:“The one who remembers Me and does not forget Me.”

(2) Musa (peace be upon him) said: Which of Your servants is the most guided? Allah Almighty said:“The one who follows My guidance.”

(3) Musa (peace be upon him) said: Which of Your servants is the most just? Allah Almighty said:“The one who judges for people as he judges for himself.”

(4) Musa (peace be upon him) said: Which of Your servants is the most knowledgeable? Allah Almighty said:“The one who is not satiated with knowledge and gathers the knowledge of people to his own knowledge.”

(5) Musa (peace be upon him) said: Which of Your servants is the most honorable? Allah Almighty said:“The one who forgives after having power (over his opponent).”

(6) Musa (peace be upon him) said: Which of Your servants is the wealthiest? Allah Almighty said:“The one who is content with whatever (Allah Almighty) gives him.”

(7) Musa (peace be upon him) said: Which of Your servants is the poorest? Allah Almighty said:“The one who considers what he has (i.e., the wealthy person) as little and desires more.”

Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Wealth (and independence) is not called richness; true richness is the richness of the heart. When Allah Almighty intends good for a servant, He places richness in his soul and piety in his heart. And when Allah Almighty intends evil for a servant, He places his poverty before his eyes.”
