Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) was asked, “What is the best deed?” He replied, “To
believe in Allah and His Apostle (Muhammad). The questioner then
asked, “What is the next (in goodness)? He replied, “To participate in
Jihad (religious fighting) in Allah’s Cause.” The questioner again
asked, “What is the next (in goodness)?” He replied, “To perform Hajj
(Pilgrim age to Mecca) ‘Mubrur, (which is accepted by Allah and is
performed with the intention of seeking Allah’s pleasure only and not
to show off and without committing a sin and in accordance with the
traditions of the Prophet).”

Narrated Ibn ‘Umar: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said: “I have been ordered (by Allah) to fight against
the people until they testify that none has the right to be worshipped
but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), and offer the prayers
perfectly and give the obligatory charity, so if they perform that,
then they save their lives and property from me except for Islamic laws
and then their reckoning (accounts) will be done by Allah.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah (bin ‘Umar): Once Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) passed by an Ansari (man) who was admonishing
his brother regarding Haya’. On that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Leave him
as Haya’ is a part of faith.” (See Hadith 9 )

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “While I was sleeping I saw (in a dream) some
people wearing shirts of which some were reaching up to the breasts
only while others were even shorter than that. Umar bin Al-Khattab was
shown wearing a shirt that he was dragging.” The people asked, “How
did you interpret it? (What is its interpretation) O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?”
He (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) replied, “It is the Religion.”

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When the people of Paradise will enter Paradise and
the people of Hell will go to Hell, Allah will order those who have
had faith equal to the weight of a grain of mustard seed to be taken
out from Hell. So they will be taken out but (by then) they will be
blackened (charred). Then they will be put in the river of Haya’
(rain) or Hayat (life) (the Narrator is in doubt as to which is the
right term), and they will revive like a grain that grows near the
bank of a flood channel. Don’t you see that it comes out yellow and
twisted”

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever possesses the following three qualities
will taste the sweetness of faith: 1. The one to whom Allah and His Apostle become dearer than anything
else. 2. Who loves a person and he loves him only for Allah’s sake. 3. Who hates to revert to disbelief (Atheism) after Allah has brought
(saved) him out from it, as he hates to be thrown in fire.”

Narrated ‘Aisha: Whenever Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) ordered the Muslims to do something, he used
to order them deeds which were easy for them to do, (according to
their strength and endurance). They said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! We are not
like you. Allah has forgiven your past and future sins.” So Allah’s
Apostle became angry and it was apparent on his face. He said, “I am
the most Allah fearing, and know Allah better than all of you do.”

Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “A time will soon come when the best property of a Muslim will be sheep which he will take on the top of mountains and the places of rainfall (valleys) so as to flee with his religion from afflictions.”

Narrated ‘Ubada bin As-Samit: who took part in the battle of Badr and was a Naqib (a person heading
a group of six persons), on the night of Al-‘Aqaba pledge: Allah’s
Apostle said while a group of his companions were around him, “Swear
allegiance to me for: 1. Not to join anything in worship along with Allah. 2. Not to steal. 3. Not to commit illegal sexual intercourse. 4. Not to kill your children. 5. Not to accuse an innocent person (to spread such an accusation
among people). 6. Not to be disobedient (when ordered) to do good deed.” The Prophet (ﷺ) added: “Whoever among you fulfills his pledge will be
rewarded by Allah. And whoever indulges in any one of them (except the
ascription of partners to Allah) and gets the punishment in this
world, that punishment will be an expiation for that sin. And if one
indulges in any of them, and Allah conceals his sin, it is up to Him
to forgive or punish him (in the Hereafter).” ‘Ubada bin As-Samit
added: “So we swore allegiance for these.” (points to Allah’s
Apostle)

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Love for the Ansar is a sign of faith and hatred
for the Ansar is a sign of hypocrisy.”
