Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, reports that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Each of you is a shepherd, and each of you will be questioned about his flock. A man is a shepherd over the people of his house, and he will be questioned about his wife and servant. A woman is a shepherd over her husband's house, and she will be questioned about the house and the children. And a servant is a shepherd over his master's wealth, and he will be questioned about his master's wealth. So each of you is a shepherd, and each of you will be questioned about his flock. Therefore, prepare answers for the questions." The Companions, may Allah be pleased with them, asked: "O Messenger of Allah! What can the answers be?" He, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The answer is righteous deeds."

Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would often say to me: "Aisha! Which are those verses of poetry of yours?" I would say: "Which verses do you want to hear? There are many verses." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "The ones about gratitude." Then I would say: "May my parents be sacrificed for you, they are these, the poet says: Return the favor to your weak one in such a way that his weakness never troubles you any day, then his good outcomes will increase for you. That weak one will reward and recompense you, he will praise you, and his praising you for your deed is also like giving a reward. When you do good to a good person, even his bucket's rope will not become weak." Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say: "Aisha! When on the Day of Resurrection Allah Almighty will gather the creation, He will say to one of His servants from among His servants, with whom someone had done a favor: 'Did you thank your benefactor?' He will say: 'O my Lord! I thought that this was from You, so I thanked You.' Allah Almighty will say: 'You did not thank Me when you did not thank the person through whose hands I bestowed My favor upon you.'"

So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Change the color of old age and avoid black dye."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be shy before Allah as is His due." The people said, "O Messenger of Allah! All praise is due to Allah, we are shy before Allah." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever is truly shy before Allah as is His due, let him protect his head and what it contains, and his stomach and what it holds, and let him remember death and decay. And whoever intends the Hereafter, he abandons the adornment of the world. Whoever does this has truly been shy before Allah as is His due."

Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him) says that I submitted: O Messenger of Allah! Advise me with something.
