"O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true"
Narrated `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Truthfulness leads to righteousness, and righteousness leads to Paradise. And a
man keeps on telling the truth until he becomes a truthful person. Falsehood leads to Al-Fajur (i.e.
wickedness, evil-doing), and Al-Fajur (wickedness) leads to the (Hell) Fire, and a man may keep on
telling lies till he is written before Allah, a liar."
حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَنْ أَبِي وَائِلٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِنَّ الصِّدْقَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْبِرِّ وَإِنَّ الْبِرَّ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَصْدُقُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ صِدِّيقًا وَإِنَّ الْكَذِبَ يَهْدِي إِلَى الْفُجُورِ وَإِنَّ الْفُجُورَ يَهْدِي إِلَى النَّارِ وَإِنَّ الرَّجُلَ لَيَكْذِبُ حَتَّى يُكْتَبَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ كَذَّابًا
"O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true"
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three: Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie; and
whenever he promises, he breaks his promise; and whenever he is entrusted, he betrays (proves to be
dishonest)".

"O you who believe! Be afraid of Allah, and be with those who are true"
Narrated Samura bin Jundub:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw (in a dream), two men came to me." Then the Prophet (ﷺ) narrated the story
(saying), "They said, 'The person, the one whose cheek you saw being torn away (from the mouth to
the ear) was a liar and used to tell lies and the people would report those lies on his authority till they
spread all over the world. So he will be punished like that till the Day of Resurrection."'

The righteous way or guidance
Narrated Hudhaifa:
From among the people, Ibn Um `Abd greatly resembled Allah's Messengers in solemn gate and good
appearance of piety and in calmness and sobriety from the time he goes out of his house till he returns
to it. But we do not know how he behaves with his family when he is alone with them.

The righteous way or guidance
Narrated Tariq:
`Abdullah said, "The best talk is Allah's Book (Qur'an), and the best guidance is the guidance of
Muhammad."
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْوَلِيدِ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ مُخَارِقٍ سَمِعْتُ طَارِقًا قَالَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ إِنَّ أَحْسَنَ الْحَدِيثِ كِتَابُ اللَّهِ وَأَحْسَنَ الْهَدْىِ هَدْىُ مُحَمَّدٍ صلى الله عليه وسلم
To be patient when one is harmed
Narrated Abu Musa:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: None is more patient than Allah against the harmful saying. He hears from the
people they ascribe children to Him, yet He gives them health and (supplies them with) provision."
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الأَعْمَشُ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ السُّلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ـ رضى الله عنه ـ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ لَيْسَ أَحَدٌ ـ أَوْ لَيْسَ شَىْءٌ ـ أَصْبَرَ عَلَى أَذًى سَمِعَهُ مِنَ اللَّهِ إِنَّهُمْ لَيَدْعُونَ لَهُ وَلَدًا وَإِنَّهُ لَيُعَافِيهِمْ وَيَرْزُقُهُمْ
To be patient when one is harmed
Narrated `Abdullah:
The Prophet (ﷺ) divided and distributed something as he used to do for some of his distributions. A man
from the Ansar said, "By Allah, in this division the pleasure of Allah has not been intended." I said, "I
will definitely tell this to the Prophet (ﷺ) ." So I went to him while he was sitting with his companions and
told him of it secretly. That was hard upon the Prophet (ﷺ) and the color of his face changed, and he
became so angry that I wished I had not told him. The Prophet (ﷺ) then said, "Moses was harmed with
more than this, yet he remained patient."
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ شَقِيقًا يَقُولُ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ قَسَمَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قِسْمَةً كَبَعْضِ مَا كَانَ يَقْسِمُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ وَاللَّهِ إِنَّهَا لَقِسْمَةٌ مَا أُرِيدَ بِهَا وَجْهُ اللَّهِ قُلْتُ أَمَّا أَنَا لأَقُولَنَّ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَتَيْتُهُ وَهْوَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَسَارَرْتُهُ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُهُ وَغَضِبَ حَتَّى وَدِدْتُ أَنِّي لَمْ أَكُنْ أَخْبَرْتُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ قَدْ أُوذِيَ مُوسَى بِأَكْثَرَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَصَبَرَ
Whoever did not admonish people in their faces
Narrated `Aisha:
The Prophet (ﷺ) did something and allowed his people to do it, but some people refrained from doing it.
When the Prophet (ﷺ) learned of that, he delivered a sermon, and after having sent Praises to Allah, he
said, "What is wrong with such people as refrain from doing a thing that I do? By Allah, I know Allah
better than they, and I am more afraid of Him than they."
حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ حَفْصٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا الأَعْمَشُ حَدَّثَنَا مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ صَنَعَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم شَيْئًا فَرَخَّصَ فِيهِ فَتَنَزَّهَ عَنْهُ قَوْمٌ فَبَلَغَ ذَلِكَ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَخَطَبَ فَحَمِدَ اللَّهَ ثُمَّ قَالَ مَا بَالُ أَقْوَامٍ يَتَنَزَّهُونَ عَنِ الشَّىْءِ أَصْنَعُهُ فَوَاللَّهِ إِنِّي لأَعْلَمُهُمْ بِاللَّهِ وَأَشَدُّهُمْ لَهُ خَشْيَةً
Whoever did not admonish people in their faces
Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri:
The Prophet (ﷺ) was more shy than a virgin in her separate room. And if he saw a thing which he disliked,
we would recognize that (feeling) in his face.
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ أَخْبَرَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ ـ هُوَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُتْبَةَ مَوْلَى أَنَسٍ ـ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم أَشَدَّ حَيَاءً مِنَ الْعَذْرَاءِ فِي خِدْرِهَا فَإِذَا رَأَى شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ عَرَفْنَاهُ فِي وَجْهِهِ
Whoever calls his brother a Kafir without any grounds
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "If a man says to his brother, O Kafir
(disbeliever)!' Then surely one of them is such (i.e., a Kafir). "
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ وَأَحْمَدُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ إِذَا قَالَ الرَّجُلُ لأَخِيهِ يَا كَافِرُ فَقَدْ بَاءَ بِهِ أَحَدُهُمَا وَقَالَ عِكْرِمَةُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ سَمِعَ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم

Whoever calls his brother a Kafir without any grounds
Narrated Thabit bin Ad-Dahhak:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever swears by a religion other than Islam (i.e. if he swears by saying that he
is a non-Muslim in case he is telling a lie), then he is as he says if his oath is false and whoever
commits suicide with something, will be punished with the same thing in the (Hell) fire, and cursing a
believer is like murdering him, and whoever accuses a believer of disbelief, then it is as if he had
killed him."

Whoever does not consider as Kafir the person who says that...
Narrated Jabir bin `Abdullah:
Mu`adh bin Jabal used to pray with the Prophet (ﷺ) and then go to lead his people in prayer. Once he led
the people in prayer and recited Surat-al-Baqara. A man left (the row of the praying people) and
offered (light) prayer (separately) and went away. When Mu`adh came to know about it, he said. "He
(that man) is a hypocrite." Later that man heard what Mu`adh said about him, so he came to the
Prophet and said, "O Allah's Messenger! We are people who work with our own hands and irrigate (our
farms) with our camels. Last night Mu`adh led us in the (night) prayer and he recited Sura-al-Baqara,
so I offered my prayer separately, and because of that, he accused me of being a hypocrite." The
Prophet called Mu`adh and said thrice, "O Mu`adh! You are putting the people to trials? Recite 'Washshamsi
wad-uhaha' (91) or'Sabbih isma Rabbi ka-l-A'la' (87) or the like."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: "Whoever amongst you swears, (saying by error) in his oath 'By Al-Lat and Al-
Uzza', then he should say, 'None has the right to be worshipped but Allah.' And whoever says to his
companions, 'Come let me gamble' with you, then he must give something in charity (as an expiation
for such a sin)." (See Hadith No. 645)

Whoever does not consider as Kafir the person who says that...
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
that he found `Umar bin Al-Khattab in a group of people and he was swearing by his father. So
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) called them, saying, "Verily! Allah forbids you to swear by your fathers. If one has to

The Prophet (ﷺ) entered upon me while there was a curtain having pictures (of animals) in the house. His

What to say when one is angry or harsh for Allah's sake
Narrated Abu Mas`ud:
A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said "I keep away from the morning prayer only because such and
such person prolongs the prayer when he leads us in it. The narrator added: I had never seen Allah's
Apostle more furious in giving advice than he was on that day. He said, "O people! There are some
among you who make others dislike good deeds) cause the others to have aversion (to congregational
prayers). Beware! Whoever among you leads the people in prayer should not prolong it, because
among them there are the sick, the old, and the needy." (See Hadith No. 670, Vol 1)

While the Prophet (ﷺ) was praying, he saw sputum (on the wall) of the mosque, in the direction of the
Qibla, and so he scraped it off with his hand, and the sign of disgust (was apparent from his face) and
then said, "Whenever anyone of you is in prayer, he should not spit in front of him (in prayer) because
Allah is in front of him."

What to say when one is angry or harsh for Allah's sake
Narrated Zaid bin Khalid Al-Juhani:
A man asked Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) about "Al-Luqata" (a lost fallen purse or a thing picked up by
somebody). The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "You should announce it publicly for one year, and then remember and
recognize the tying material of its container, and then you can spend it. If its owner came to you, then
you should pay him its equivalent." The man said, "O Allah's Messenger! What about a lost sheep?" The
Prophet said, "Take it because it is for you, for your brother, or for the wolf." The man again said, "O
Allah's Messenger! What about a lost camel?" Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) became very angry and furious and his
cheeks became red (or his face became red), and he said, "You have nothing to do with it (the camel)
for it has its food and its water container with it till it meets its owner."

What to say when one is angry or harsh for Allah's sake
Narrated Zaid bin Thabit:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) made a small room (with a palm leaf mat). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came out (of his house)
and prayed in it. Some men came and joined him in his prayer. Then again the next night they came
for the prayer, but Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) delayed and did not come out to them. So they raised their voices
and knocked the door with small stones (to draw his attention). He came out to them in a state of
anger, saying, "You are still insisting (on your deed, i.e. Tarawih prayer in the mosque) that I thought
that this prayer (Tarawih) might become obligatory on you. So you people, offer this prayer at your
