It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Huraira, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "A man was walking and found a thorn on the road, so he removed it; thus Allah became pleased with him and forgave him." And the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "There are five types of martyrs: one who dies of plague (an abscess in the armpit), or dies of diarrhea, or dies by drowning, or dies by falling from a building, or is martyred in the way of Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He." And the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, also said: "If people knew the reward that is in the call to prayer and the first row, and then could not find any way except to draw lots for it, they would surely draw lots for it. And if people knew the reward for performing prayer at its earliest time, they would surely hasten to it. And if they knew what reward there is for attending the congregational prayers of Isha and Fajr, they would surely come to them even if they had to crawl on their knees and elbows."
