It was
narrated from Abu Dharr that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ)
said: “I
know a word – (one of the narrators) ‘Uthman said: “a Verse”
– which if all the people followed it, it would suffice them.”
They
said: “O Messenger of Allah, which Verse?” He said: “And
whosoever
fears Allah, He will make a way out for him.” [65:2]
It was
narrated from Abu Bakr bin Abu Zuhair Ath-Thaqafi, that his
father
said: “The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) addressed us in Nabawah” or
Banawah – he (one of the narrators) said: “Nabawah is near Ta’if”
–
“And said: ‘Soon you will be able to tell the people of
Paradise from
the people of Hell.’ They said: ‘How O Messenger of
Allah?’ He said:
‘By praise and condemnation. You are Allah’s
witnesses over one
another.’”
It was
narrated that Kulthum Al-Khuza’i said: “A man came to the
Prophet
(ﷺ) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, how can I know, when I
have
done something good, that I have done well, and if I have done
something bad, that I have done a bad deed?’ The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘If your neighbors say that you have done something
good,
then you have done well, and if they say that you have done
something
bad, then you have done something bad.’”

It was
narrated that Abu Hurairah said: “A man said: ‘O Messenger of
Allah, I do a good deed, then others find out about it and that
pleases me.’ He said: ‘You will have two rewards, the reward for
doing
it in secret and the reward for doing it openly (so that others
may
follow your example).’”
‘Alqamah
bin Waqqas (said) that he heard ‘Umar bin Khattab, when he
was
addressing the people, saying: “I heard the Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) say: ‘Actions are but by the intention and every man will
have
but that which he intended. So he whose emigration was for Allah
and
His Messenger, his emigration was for Allah and His Messenger.
But he
whose emigration was for some worldly benefit or to take some
woman in
marriage, his emigration was for that which he migrated.”
It was
narrated that Abu Kabshah Al-Anmari said: “The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘The likeness of this nation is that of four people:
A
man to whom Allah gives wealth and knowledge, so he acts according
to
his knowledge with regard to his wealth, spending it as it should
be
spent; a man to whom Allah gives knowledge, but he does not give
him
wealth, so he says: “If I had been given (wealth) like this one, I
would have done what (the first man) did.” The Messenger of Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘They will be equal in reward. And a man to whom Allah
gives wealth but does not give knowledge, so he squanders his wealth
and spends it in inappropriate ways; and a man to whom Allah gives
neither knowledge nor wealth, and he says: “If I had (wealth) like
this one, I would do what (the third man) did.” The Messenger of
Allah
(ﷺ) said: ‘They are equal in their burden (of sin).’”
A
similar report (as above) was narrated from Ibn Abu Kabshah, from
his
father, from the Prophet (ﷺ).

a
square, and a line in the middle of the square, and lines to the
side
of the line in the middle of the square, and a line outside the
square, and he said: “Do you know what this is?” They said:
“Allah and
His Messenger know best.” He said: “Man is the line
in the middle, and
these lines to his side are the sicknesses and
problems that assail
him from all places. If one misses him, another
will befall him. The
square is his life span, at his neck; and the
line outside it is (his)
hope.”
Anas bin
Malik narrated the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “This is
the son
of Adam, and this is his life span at his neck,’ then he
spread his
hand in front of him and said: ‘And there is his hope.”

Persisting in a good deed
It was
narrated that Hanzalah Tamimi Al-Usaiyidi, the scribe, said:
“We
were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and we spoke of Paradise
and
Hell until it was as if we could see them. Then I got up and went
to
my family and children, and I laughed and played (with them). Then
I
remembered how we had been, and I went out and met Abu Bakr, and
said: ‘I have become a hypocrite!’ Abu Bakr said: ‘We all do
that.’”
So Hanzalah went and mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ),
who said: “O
Hanzalah, if you were (always) as you are with me, the
angels would
shake hands with you in your beds and in your streets. O
Hanzalah,
there is a time for this and a time for that.”
