Narrated Al-Hasan: `Amr bin Taghlib said, “Some property was given to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he gave it to some people and
withheld it from some others. Then he came to know that they (the latter) were dissatisfied. So the
Prophet said, ‘I give to one man and leave (do not give) another, and the one to whom I do not give is
dearer to me than the one to whom I give. I give to some people because of the impatience and
discontent present in their hearts, and leave other people because of the content and goodness Allah
has bestowed on them, and one of them is `Amr bin Taghlib.” `Amr bin Taghlib said, “The sentence
which Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said in my favor is dearer to me than the possession of nice red camels.”

Narrated Anas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “My Lord says, ‘If My slave comes nearer to me for a span, I go nearer to him for a
cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit, I go nearer to him for the span of outstretched arms;
and if he comes to Me walking, I go to him running.’ ”

Narrated Abu Huraira: Perhaps the Prophet (ﷺ) mentioned the following (as Allah’s Saying): “If My slave comes nearer to Me for
a span, I go nearer to him for a cubit; and if he comes nearer to Me for a cubit; I go nearer to him for
the span of outstretched arms. (See Hadith No. 502)

Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet (ﷺ) said that your Lord said, “Every (sinful) deed can be expiated; and the fast is for Me, so I
will give the reward for it; and the smell which comes out of the mouth of a fasting person, is better in
Allah’s Sight than the smell of musk.” (See Hadith No. 584)

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: The Prophet (ﷺ) said that his Lord said: “It does not befit a slave that he should say that he is better than
Jonah (Yunus) bin Matta.

Narrated Shu`ba: Mu’awiya bin Qurra reported that `Abdullah bin Al-Maghaffal Al-Muzani said, “I saw Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
on the day of the Conquest of Mecca, riding his she-camel and reciting Surat-al-Fath (48) or part of
Surat-al-Fath. He recited it in a vibrating and pleasant voice. Then Mu’awiya recited as `Abdullah bin
Mughaffal had done and said, “Were I not afraid that the people would crowd around me, I would
surely recite in a vibrating pleasant voice as Ibn Mughaffal did, imitating the Prophet.” I asked
Muawiya, “How did he recite in that tone?” He said thrice, “A, A , A.”

And Ibn ‘Abbas narrated: Abu Sufyan bin Harb told me that Heraclius called for his translator and then asked for the letter of the Prophet (ﷺ), and the former read it (thus): “In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Merciful. (This letter is) from Muhammad bin ‘Abdullah, to Heraclius. “…O people of the Scripture (Jews and Christians): Come to a word that is just between us and you that we worship none but Allah…” (V.3:64)

Narrated Abu Huraira: The people of the Scripture used to read the Torah in Hebrew and explain it to the Muslims in Arabic.
Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Do not believe the people of the Scripture, and do not disbelieve them, but
say, ‘We believe in Allah and whatever has been revealed…’ (3.84)

Narrated Abu Salama: Abu Huraira said, “Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘Whoever does not recite Qur’an in a nice voice is not from
us,’ and others said extra,” (that means) to recite it aloud.”

Narrated Ibn `Umar: A Jew and Jewess were brought to the Prophet (ﷺ) on a charge of committing an illegal sexual
intercourse. The Prophet (ﷺ) asked the Jews, “What do you (usually) do with them?” They said, “We
blacken their faces and disgrace them.” He said, “Bring here the Torah and recite it, if you are
truthful.” They (fetched it and) came and asked a one-eyed man to recite. He went on reciting till he
reached a portion on which he put his hand. The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Lift up your hand!” He lifted his hand
up and behold, there appeared the verse of Ar-Rajm (stoning of the adulterers to death). Then he said,
“O Muhammad! They should be stoned to death but we conceal this Divine Law among ourselves.”
Then the Prophet (ﷺ) ordered that the two sinners be stoned to death and, and they were stoned to death,
and I saw the man protecting the woman from the stones. (See Hadith No. 809, Vol. 8)
