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.’

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)

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.”

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."

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

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.’

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.

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.”

Ibn Abbas (may Allah swt please with him) narrated:
Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) once passed by two graves, and those two persons (in the graves) were being tortured. He said, "They are being tortured not for a great thing (to avoid). One of them never saved himself from being soiled with his urine, while the other was going about with calumnies (to make enmity between friends)." He then took a green leaf of a date-palm tree split it into two pieces and fixed one on each grave. The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! Why have you done so?". He replied, "I hope that their punishment may be lessened till they (the leaf) become dry."

Allah's Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) said, "Every child is born with a true faith of Islam (i.e. to worship none but Allah Alone) but his parents convert him to Judaism, Christianity or Magainism, as an animal delivers a perfect baby animal. Do you find it mutilated?"
Then Abu Huraira recited the holy verses: "The pure Allah's Islamic nature (true faith of Islam) (i.e. worshipping none but Allah) with which He has created human beings. No change let there be in the religion of Allah (i.e. joining none in worship with Allah). That is the straight religion (Islam) but most of men know, not." (30.30)

When the funeral is ready and the men carry it on their shoulders, if the deceased was righteous it will say, 'Present me (hurriedly),' and if he was not righteous, it will say, 'Woe to it (me)!

Hadrat Anas ibn Malik (may Allah swt be pleased with him) reported: "We returned with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) from a journey and when we entered the suburbs of Al-Madinah, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) said:
'Ayibuna, ta'ibuna, aabiduna, li-Rabbina hamidun'
(We are returning in safety, turning to our Lord, worshipping Him and praising Him).

He (peace and blessings of Allah swt be upon him) continued repeating these words till we entered Al-Madinah".

Muslim. Riyad-us-Saliheen (Hadith # 987)

[Message for us in hadith: When one returns from a journey and sees one’s town suburbs, he should start reciting the invocation mentioned in this hadith till he enters the city. These phrases express gratitude to Allah Subhanah wa Ta'ala for the safe return to one's hometown; they also express repentance, obedience and determination to worship Allah.]

When anyone of you stands for the prayers, Satan comes and puts him in doubts till he forgets how many Rakat he has prayed. So if this happens to anyone of you, he should perform two prostrations of Sahu while sitting.
