There was amongst those before you a man who had a wound. He was in [such] anguish that he took a knife and made with it a cut in his hand, and the blood did not cease to flow till he died. Allah the Almighty said:

‘My servant has himself forestalled Me; I have forbidden him Paradise.’

It was related by al-Bukhari.

Narrated by Jarir bin Abdullah (may Allah swt be pleased with him):

I gave the pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) for offering prayer perfectly, giving zakat and giving good advice to every Muslim.

Sahih Al Bukhari Vol 2 Number 484

Whoever is made wealthy by Allah and does not pay the Zakat of his wealth, then on the Day of Resurrection his wealth will be made like a bald-headed poisonous male snake with two black spots over the eyes. The snake will encircle his neck and bite his cheeks and say, 'I am your wealth, I am your treasure.'

Then the Prophet recited the Holy Quran's verses: 'Let not those who withhold . . .' (to the end of the verse 3.180)

Sahih Al Bukhari Vol 2 Number 486

On the authority of Abu Mas’ud al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:

“A man from among those who were before you was called to account. Nothing in the way of good was found for him except that he used to have dealings with people and, being well-to-do, he would order his servants to let off the man in straitened circumstances [from repaying his debt].”

He (the Prophet - peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said that Allah said:

“We are worthier than you of that (of being so generous). Let him off.”


It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari and an-Nasa’i).

Don't abuse the dead, because they have reached the result of what they forwarded.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 476

A man said to Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) "My mother died suddenly and I thought that if she had lived she would have given alms. So if I give alms now on her behalf, will she get the reward?"

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) replied in the affirmative.

Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 470

There is no envy except in two: a person whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the right way, and a person whom Allah has given wisdom (i.e. religious knowledge) and he gives his decisions accordingly and teaches it to the others.

Sahih Al Bukhari Vol 2 Number 490

A bedouin came to Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) and said, "Tell me of such a deed as will make me enter Paradise, if I do it."

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) said, "Worship Allah and worship none along with Him, offer the (five) prescribed compulsory prayers perfectly, pay the compulsory Zakat, and fast the month of Ramadan."

The bedouin said, "By Him in Whose Hands my life is, I will not do more than this."

When he (the Bedouin) left, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) said, "Whoever likes to see a man of Paradise, then he may look at this man."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 480

Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:

‘Spend (on charity), O son of Adam, and I shall spend on you.’

Al-Bukhari, Muslim

Paradise and Hell-fire disputed together, and Hell-fire said: ‘In me are the mighty and the haughty.’ Paradise said: ‘In me are the weak and the poor.’ So Allah judged between them, [saying]: ‘You are Paradise, My mercy; through you I show mercy to those I wish. And you are Hell-fire, My punishment; through you I punish those I wish, and it is incumbent upon Me that each of you shall have its fill.’


- Bukhari, Muslim, Tirmidhi

A man said: ‘By Allah, Allah will not forgive So-and-so.’ At this Allah the Almighty said: ‘Who is he who swears by Me that I will not forgive So-and-so? Verily I have forgiven So-and-so and have nullified your [own good] deeds (1) (or as he said [it]).’

(1) A similar Hadith, which is given by Abu Dawud, indicates that the person referred to was a godly man whose previous good deeds were brought to naught through presuming to declare that Allah would not forgive someone’s bad deeds.

It was related by Muslim.

On the authority of Adiyy ibn Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

I was with the Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) and there came to him two men: one of them was complaining of penury (being very poor), while the other was complaining of brigandry (robbery). The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said: “As for brigandry, it will be but a short time before a caravan will [be able to] go out of Mecca without a guard. As for penury, the Hour (Day of Judgement) will not arrive before one of you takes his charity around without finding anyone to accept it from him. Then one of you will surely stand before Allah, there being no screen between Him and him, nor an interpreter to translate for him. Then He will say to him: Did I not bring you wealth? And he will say: Yes. Then He will say: Did I not send to you a messenger? And he will say: Yes. And he will look to his right and will see nothing but Hell-fire, then he will look to his left and will see nothing but Hell-fire, so let each of you protect himself against Hell-fire, be it with even half a date - and if he finds it not, then with a kind word.”

It was related by al-Bukhari.

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) used to invoke
(Allah swt):

Allahumma ini a'udhu bika min 'adhabi-l-Qabr, wa min 'adhabi-nnar, wa min fitnati-l-mahya wa-lmamat, wa min fitnati-l-masih ad-dajjal.

(O Allah! I seek refuge with you from the punishment in the grave and from the punishment in the Hell fire and from the afflictions of life and death, and the afflictions of Al-Masih Ad-Dajjal.)

Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 2 : No. 459

Any Muslim whose three children died before the age of puberty will be granted paradise by Allah because of His mercy to them.
