Narrated `Utban bin Malik Al-Ansari: who was one of the men of the tribe of Bani Salim: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came to me and said, “If anybody
comes on the Day of Resurrection who has said: La ilaha illal-lah, sincerely, with the intention to win
Allah’s Pleasure, Allah will make the Hell-Fire forbidden for him.”

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If Adam’s son had a valley full of gold, he would like to have two valleys, for
nothing fills his mouth except dust. And Allah forgives him who repents to Him.”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Allah says, ‘I have nothing to give but Paradise as a reward to my believer
slave, who, if I cause his dear friend (or relative) to die, remains patient (and hopes for Allah’s
Reward).

Narrated `Amr bin `Auf: (An ally of the tribe of Bani ‘Amir bin Lu’ai and one of those who had witnessed the battle of Badr
with Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)) Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) sent Abu ‘Ubaida bin AlJarrah to Bahrain to collect the Jizya
tax. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had concluded a peace treaty with the people of Bahrain and appointed Al ‘Ala
bin Al-Hadrami as their chief; Abu Ubaida arrived from Bahrain with the money. The Ansar heard of
Abu ‘Ubaida’s arrival which coincided with the Fajr (morning) prayer led by Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). When
the Prophet (ﷺ) finished the prayer, they came to him. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) smiled when he saw them and said,
“I think you have heard of the arrival of Abu ‘Ubaida and that he has brought something.” They
replied, “Yes, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! ” He said, “Have the good news, and hope for what will please you.
By Allah, I am not afraid that you will become poor, but I am afraid that worldly wealth will be given
to you in abundance as it was given to those (nations) before you, and you will start competing each
other for it as the previous nations competed for it, and then it will divert you (from good) as it
diverted them.” ‘

Narrated `Uqba bin ‘Amir: The Prophet (ﷺ) went out and offered the funeral prayer for the martyrs of the (battle of) Uhud and then
ascended the pulpit and said, “I am your predecessor and I am a witness against you. By Allah, I am
now looking at my Tank-lake (Al-Kauthar) and I have been given the keys of the treasures of the earth
(or the keys of the earth). By Allah! I am not afraid that after me you will worship others besides
Allah, but I am afraid that you will start competing for (the pleasures of) this world.”

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “The thing I am afraid of most for your sake, is the worldly blessings which
Allah will bring forth to you.” It was said, “What are the blessings of this world?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
“The pleasures of the world.” A man said, “Can the good bring forth evil?” The Prophet (ﷺ) kept quiet for
a while till we thought that he was being inspired divinely. Then he started removing the sweat from
his forehead and said,” Where is the questioner?” That man said, “I (am present).” Abu Sa`id added:
We thanked the man when the result (of his question) was such. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Good never brings
forth but good. This wealth (of the world) is (like) green and sweet (fruit), and all the vegetation
which grows on the bank of a stream either kills or nearly kills the animal that eats too much of it,
except the animal that eats the Khadira (a kind of vegetation). Such an animal eats till its stomach is
full and then it faces the sun and starts ruminating and then it passes out dung and urine and goes to
eat again. This worldly wealth is (like) sweet (fruit), and if a person earns it (the wealth) in a legal way
and spends it properly, then it is an excellent helper, and whoever earns it in an illegal way, he will be
like the one who eats but is never satisfied.”

Narrated Zahdam bin Mudarrib: `Imran bin Husain said: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The best people are my contemporaries (i.e., the present
(my) generation) and then those who come after them (i.e., the next generation).” `Imran added: I am
not sure whether the Prophet (ﷺ) repeated the statement twice after his first saying. The Prophet (ﷺ) added,
“And after them there will come people who will bear witness, though they will not be asked to give
their witness; and they will be treacherous and nobody will trust them, and they will make vows, but
will not fulfill them, and fatness will appear among them.”

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “O Allah! There is no life worth living except the life of the Hereafter, so (please)
make righteous the Ansar and the Emigrants.”

Narrated Sahl bin Sa`d As-Sa`idi: We were in the company of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) in (the battle of) Al-Khandaq, and he was digging the
trench while we were carrying the earth away. He looked at us and said, “O Allah! There is no life
worth living except the life of the Hereafter, so (please) forgive the Ansar and the Emigrants.”

Narrated Sahl: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “A (small) place equal to an area occupied by a whip in Paradise is better
than the (whole) world and whatever is in it; and an undertaking (journey) in the forenoon or in the
afternoon for Allah’s Cause, is better than the whole world and whatever is in it.”
