It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: In my opinion, no one acts upon this noble verse: «يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ إِنَّا خَلَقْنَاكُمْ مِنْ ذَكَرٍ وَأُنْثَىٰ وَجَعَلْنَاكُمْ شُعُوبًا وَقَبَائِلَ لِتَعَارَفُوا ۚ إِنَّ أَكْرَمَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ أَتْقَاكُمْ» [الحجرات: 13] "O people! Indeed, We created you from a male and a female, and made you into nations and tribes so that you may recognize one another. Indeed, the most honorable of you in the sight of Allah is the most righteous of you." Now a man says to another: "I am more honorable than you," whereas without piety, no one is more honorable or noble than another.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), he said: Whom do you consider to be honorable and noble? Allah Almighty has clarified what honor is. Thus, the most honorable among you in the sight of Allah is the one who is most pious. Whom do you count as noble? The one whose character is the best is the highest in honor and nobility.

It is narrated from Sayyidah Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "Souls are like assembled troops; those who became acquainted and familiar with each other (in the realm before this world) will have affection and love for each other (in this world as well), and those who were not familiar with each other there will differ (in this world as well)."

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: "Souls are like gathered armies; those who became acquainted with one another, their affection developed (in this world), and those who did not become familiar, their differences arose (in this world)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say: "While a shepherd was among his sheep, a wolf attacked and seized a sheep. The shepherd chased after it, and the wolf turned to him and said: 'On the day when wild beasts will rule and I will be their shepherd in place of anyone else, who will protect them then?' The people said: 'Glory be to Allah!' The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: 'I believe in this, and so do Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) and Umar (may Allah be pleased with him).'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was at a funeral. He picked up something and began to scratch the ground with it and said: "The abode of each one of you in Paradise and Hell has been written." They said: O Messenger of Allah! Should we not rely on what has been written for us and give up action? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Continue to act, for everyone is facilitated for that for which he was created." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "For those who are destined for happiness, the deeds of happiness are made easy, and for those who are wretched, the deeds of wretchedness are made easy." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) recited this verse: «فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ۝ وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ» [الليل: 5-6] So, as for he who gives and fears Allah and affirms the best...

It is narrated from Umm Asid (may Allah have mercy on her) that I asked Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him): What is the reason that you do not narrate hadiths from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) like the other Companions? Sayyiduna Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever attributes a lie to me should make his place in the Fire." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was saying this while touching the ground with his hand.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mughaffal Muzani (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) forbade throwing pebbles and said: "It neither kills the game nor harms the enemy, but it can gouge out an eye and break a tooth."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that when Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) was on his way to Makkah Mukarramah for Hajj, a strong wind blew. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said to his companions: "What is the wind?" They did not give any answer. I quickly advanced my mount and reached him. I said: "I have come to know that you asked about the wind. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: 'The wind is Allah’s mercy; it brings mercy and it brings punishment. Therefore, do not speak ill of it, and ask Allah for its good, and seek refuge from its evil.'"
