Hadith - Faith in Allah

Abu Bakr b. Abdullah b. Qais reported on the authority of his father that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said that in Paradise there would be for a believer a tent of a single hollowed pearl the breadth of which would be sixty miles.

Nu'man b. Bashir reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: The similitude of believers in regard to mutual love, affection, fellow-feeling is that of one body; when any limb of it aches, the whole body aches, because of sleeplessness and fever. (Muslim, 6258)

(Muslim, 6622)

Mercy of Allah

Jundub reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) stated that a person said: Allaah would not forgive such and such (person). Thereupon Allaah the Exalted and Glorious, said: Who is he who adjures about Me that I would not grant pardon to so and so; I have granted pardon to so and so and blotted out his deeds (who took an oath that I would not grant pardon to him). (Muslim, 6350)

He should praise Allah for it and relate it to (others).'' Another narration adds: Messenger of Allah(PBUH) said, "He should not report it except to those whom he loves. And if he sees one which he dislikes, then it is from the Satan. He should seek refuge in Allah against its evil and should not mention it to anyone. Then it will not harm him.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A good vision (dream) is from Allah and a bad dream is from the Satan. He who sees something in a dream that he dislikes, should blow thrice on his left, must seek Allah's Refuge from the evil of the Satan (i.e., by saying: A`udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim). Then it will not harm him.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

"To smile in the company of your brother is charity. To command to do good deeds and to prevent others from doing evil is charity. To guide a person in a place where he can go astray is charity.

To pour water from your jug into the jug of your brother is charity.To guide a person with defective vision is charity for you." ( Bukhari )

Anas b. Malik reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) thus told him: When a non-believer does good, he is made to taste its reward in this world. And so far as the believer is concerned, Allaah stores (the reward) of his virtues for the Hereafter and provides him sustenance in accordance with his obedience to Him [Muslim, 6740].

Narrated by Abdullah ibn Mas'ud: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: Allah has set forth a parable of a straight path. On both sides of the path there are two enclosures in which there are open doors, and hanging upon each door are curtains. There is at the end of the path an admonisher saying: Adhere to the path and don't go astray. Above that there is an announcer who announces as often as anyone intends to open the doors: Woe be to thee! Don't open it for if you open it you shall have to enter it. He then explained (this parable) and said: Verily the path is al-Islam; the open doors are the prohibitions made by Allah; the hanging curtains are the limits set by Allah; the announcer at the end of the path is the Qur'an; and the announcer over it, is Allah's Preacher in every heart [Tirmidhi, 191].
