While the Prophet (ﷺ) was saying something in a gathering, a Bedouin came and asked him, “When
would the Hour (Doomsday) take place?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) continued his talk, so some people said that
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had heard the question, but did not like what that Bedouin had asked. Some of them
said that Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) had not heard it. When the Prophet (ﷺ) finished his speech, he said, “Where is
the questioner, who inquired about the Hour (Doomsday)?” The Bedouin said, “I am here, O Allah’s
Apostle .” Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When honesty is lost, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday).” The
Bedouin said, “How will that be lost?” The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “When the power or authority comes in the
hands of unfit persons, then wait for the Hour (Doomsday.)”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever said “None has the right to be worshipped
but Allah and has in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of a
barley grain will be taken out of Hell. And whoever said: “None has
the right to be worshipped but Allah and has in his heart good (faith)
equal to the weight of a wheat grain will be taken out of Hell. And
whoever said, “None has the right to be worshipped but Allah and has
in his heart good (faith) equal to the weight of an atom will be taken
out of Hell.”

Once the Prophet (ﷺ) remained behind us in a journey. He joined us while we were performing ablution
for the prayer which was over-due. We were just passing wet hands over our feet (and not washing
them properly) so the Prophet (ﷺ) addressed us in a loud voice and said twice or thrice: “Save your heels
from the fire.”

Once a Jew said to me, “O the chief of believers! There is a verse in
your Holy Book Which is read by all of you (Muslims), and had it been
revealed to us, we would have taken that day (on which it was revealed
as a day of celebration.” ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab asked, “Which is that
verse?” The Jew replied, “This day I have perfected your religion For
you, completed My favor upon you, And have chosen for you Islam as
your religion.” (5:3) ‘Umar replied,”No doubt, we know when and where
this verse was revealed to the Prophet. It was Friday and the Prophet (ﷺ)
was standing at ‘Arafat (i.e. the Day of Hajj)”

A man from Najd with unkempt hair came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and we heard
his loud voice but could not understand what he was saying, till he
came near and then we came to know that he was asking about Islam.
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “You have to offer prayers perfectly five times
in a day and night (24 hours).” The man asked, “Is there any more
(praying)?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “No, but if you want to offer the
Nawafil prayers (you can).” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) further said to him: “You
have to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan.” The man asked,
“Is there any more fasting?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “No, but if you
want to observe the Nawafil fasts (you can.)” Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
further said to him, “You have to pay the Zakat (obligatory charity).”
The man asked, “Is there any thing other than the Zakat for me to
pay?” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) replied, “No, unless you want to give alms of
your own.” And then that man retreated saying, “By Allah! I will
neither do less nor more than this.” Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “If what he
said is true, then he will be successful (i.e. he will be granted
Paradise).”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “(A believer) who accompanies the funeral
procession of a Muslim out of sincere faith and hoping to attain
Allah’s reward and remains with it till the funeral prayer is offered
and the burial ceremonies are over, he will return with a reward of
two Qirats. Each Qirat is like the size of the (Mount) Uhud. He who
offers the funeral prayer only and returns before the burial, will
return with the reward of one Qirat only.”

When the following Verse was revealed: “It is those who believe and
confuse not their belief with wrong (worshipping others besides
Allah.)” (6:83), the companions of Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) asked, “Who is
amongst us who had not done injustice (wrong)?” Allah revealed: “No
doubt, joining others in worship with Allah is a great injustice
(wrong) indeed.” (31.13)

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “The signs of a hypocrite are three:1. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.2. Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ).3. If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something
as a trust with him, he will not return it.)”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever has the following four (characteristics)
will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four
characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and
until he gives it up.1. Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.2. Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.3. Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.4. Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and
insulting manner.”

Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of
Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah’s rewards (not to
show off) then all his past sins will be forgiven.”
