Friends of Allah

There are certain times dua (supplication) is more likely to be accepted by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) as mentioned by Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam). These times are as follows:

1. The Last Third Of The Night

Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah's Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'In the last third of every night our Rabb (Cherisher and Sustainer) (Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)) descends to the lowermost heaven and says; "Who is calling Me, so that I may answer him? Who is asking Me so that may I grant him? Who is seeking forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?."' [Sahih al-Bukhari, Hadith Qudsi]Amr ibn Absah narrated that the Prophet said: 'The closest any worshipper can be to His Lord is during the last part of the night, so if you can be amongst those who remember Allah at that time, then do so.'[at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i, al-Hakim - Sahih]

2. Late At Night

When people are sleeping and busy with worldly pleasures Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) gives the believers an opportunity, or an answer hour if they can fight sleep and invoke Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) for whatever they need.

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'There is at night an hour, no Muslim happens to be asking Allah any matter of this world or the Hereafter, except that he will be given it, and this (occurs) every night.'[Muslim #757]

3. Between Adhan and Iqamah

Anas (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah's Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'A supplication made between the Adhan and Iqama is not rejected.' [Ahmad, abu Dawud #521, at-Tirmidhi #212, Sahih al-Jami #3408, an-Nasai and Ibn Hibban graded it sahih (sound)]

4. An Hour On Friday

Narrated Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu): Allah's Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) talked about Friday and said: 'There is an hour on Friday and if a Muslim gets it while offering Salat (prayer) and asks something from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), then Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) will definitely meet his demand.' And he (the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) pointed out the shortness of that particular time with his hands.[Sahih al-Bukhari]Some have said that this hour is from the time the Imam (prayer's leader) enters the mosque on Friday's prayer until the prayer is over (ie between the two khutbahs), whereas others have said that it is the last hour of the day (ie after the Asr prayer until the Maghrib prayer). (Note: when we say an hour here we do not mean the hour everyone knows (60 minutes) but an unspecified period of time because the time counters which we use today came after the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) had died.

5. While Drinking Zamzam Water

Jaber (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah's Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'Zamzam water is for what it is drunk for.' [Ahmad 3: 357 and Ibn Majah #3062] This means that when you drink Zamzam water you may ask Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) for anything you like to gain or benefit from this water such as healing from illness.... etc.

6. While Prostrating
Abu Hurairah (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that Allah's Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam), said: 'The nearest a slave can be to his Lord is when he is prostrating, so invoke (supplicate) Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) much in it. [Muslim, abu Dawud, an-Nasa'i and others, Sahih al-Jami #1175]

When a Muslim is in his Salat (prayer) he is facing Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) and when he prostrates he is the nearest he can be to Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) so it is best to invoke Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) at this time.It is said that while in prostration, one should not ask for worldy needs (ie a nice car, a new job, etc), but for the Hereafter.

7. When Waking Up At Night

Narrated Ubada Bin As-Samit that Allah's Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'Whomever wakes up at night and says La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la shrika lahu lahulmulku, wa lahul hamdu, wa huwa ala kulli shai'in qadir. Alhamdu lillahi, wa subhanallahi wa la ilaha illallahu, wallah akbir, wa la hawla wala quwata illa billah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) He is the only one who has no partners. His is the kingdom and all the praises are for Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) All the glories are for Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) And none has the right to be worshipped but Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) and Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) is the most Great and there is neither might nor power except with Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) and then says, Allahumma ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me) or invokes Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), he will be responded to and if he makes ablution and performs Salat (prayer), his Salat (prayer) will be accepted. [Sahih al-Bukhari]

8. At The End Of The Obligatory Salat

Narrated Abu Omamah (radiAllahu anhu): that Allah's Messenger (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) was asked, O Messenger of Allah, which supplication is heard (by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala), he said the end of the night and at the end of the obligatory Salat (prayer) [at-Tirmidhi] This time is after saying 'At-tahyat' , and before making Tasleem (finishing prayer)

9. The Night Of 'Qadr' (Decree)

This night is the greatest night of the year. This is the night which the almighty Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) said about it, "The night of Al-Qadar (Decree) is better than a thousand months." [Surah al-Qadr, 97: 3]The Night of Decree is one of the odd nights of the last ten nights of the blessed month of Ramadan. The angels descend down to the earth, and the earth is overwhelmed with peace and serenity until the break of dawn and when he doors of Paradise are opened, the worshipper is encouraged to turn to Allah to ask for his needs for this world and the Hereafter.

10. During The Rain

Narrated Sahel Ibn Sa'ad (radiAllahu anhu): that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'Two will not be rejected, Supplication when the Adhan (call of prayer) is being called, and at the time of the rain'. [Al-Hakim 2: 114, and Abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah] 'Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls'[reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469] The time of the rain is a time of mercy from Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) so, one should take advantage of this time when Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) is having mercy on His slaves.

11. At The Adhan

'Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls'[reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469] In another hadith; 'When the prayer is called, the doors of the skies are opened, and the du'a is answered'[al-Tayalisi in his Musnad #2106, al-Sahihah #1413]

12. The One Who Is Suffering Injustice And Opression

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said to Mua'ad Ibn Jabal (radiAllahu anhu), 'Beware of the supplication of the unjustly treated, because there is no shelter or veil between it (the supplication of the one who is suffering injustice) and Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)' [Sahih Al-Bukhari and Muslim] The prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) declared,'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting person until he breaks his fast (in another narration, when he breaks fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan] In another hadith; The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) declared:'Three du'as are surely answered: The du'a of the oppressed, the du'a of the traveler, and the du'a of the father/mother (upon their child)'The One who is suffering injustice is heard by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) when he invokes Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) to retain his rights from the unjust one or oppressor. Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) has sworn to help the one who is suffering from injustice sooner or later as the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said.

13. The Traveler

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih] During travel supplication is heard by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala) if the trip is for a good reason, but if the trip is for a bad intention or to perform illegal things (making sins) this will not apply to it.

14. The Parent's Supplication For Their Child

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]

15. Dua After Praising Allah And Giving Salat On The Prophet (Salallahu Alayhi Wasalam) in the tashahhud at the end of salat.
Narrated Faddalah ibn Ubayd (radiAllahu anhu): that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'When anyone of you makes du'a, let him start by glorifying his Lord and praising Him, then let him send blessings upon the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam), then let him pray for whatever he wants'[abu Dawud #1481, at-Tirmidhi #3477]In another hadith; Baqiy ibn Mukhallid (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that that the Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'Every du'a is not responded to until one sends blessings upon the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)'[al-Bayhaqi]In another hadith; Umar (radiAllahu anhu) narrated that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:'Du'a is detained between the heavens and the earth and no part of it is taken up until you send blessings upon your Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam)'[at-Tirmidhi #486] After a person has finished his tashahhud and before saying the 'salam', supplication at this time is one likely to be responded to.Ibn Mas'ud narrates: I was once praying, and the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam), Abu Bakr and Umar (were all present). When I sat down (in the final tashahhud), I praised Allah, then sent salams on the Prophet, then started praying for myself. At this, the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:'Ask, and you shall be given it! Ask, and you shall be given it!'[at-Tirmidhi #593 - hasan, Mishkat al-Misbah #931]

16. The dua of a Muslim for his absent brother or sister Muslim stemming from the heart.

The prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:'There is no believing servant who supplicates for his brother in his absence where the angels do not say, 'the same be for you''[Muslim]

17. Dua on the Day of Arafat

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said: 'The best supplication is the supplication on the day of Arafat'. [at-Tirmidhi and Malik] The day of Arafat is the essence and pinnacle of Hajj. On this great and momentous day, millions of worshippers gather together on one plain, from every corner of the world, with only one purpose in mind - to respone to the call of their Creator. During this auspicious day, Allah does not refuse the requests of His worshippers.

18. Dua during the month of Ramadan

Ramadan is month full of many blessings, thus the du'a of Ramadan is a blessed one. This can be inferred from the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) saying:'When Ramadan comes, the Doors of Mercy (another narration says Paradise) are opened, and the doors of Hell are closed, and the Sahitans are locked up'Thus, it is clear that du'a during Ramadan has a greater chance of being accepted, as the Gates of Paradise and Mercy are opened.[Sahih al-Bukhari #1899, Muslim #1079 and others]

19. Dua when the Armies meet

When the Muslim is facing the enemy in battle, at this critical period, the du'a of a worshipper is accepted.Sahl ibn Sa'd (radiAllahu anhu) narrtaed the the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:'Two duas are never rejected, or rarely rejected: the du'a during the call for prayer, and the du'a during the clamity when the two armies attack each other'[abu Dawud #2540, ibn Majah, al-Hakim]In another narration: 'Seek the response to your du'as when the armies meet, and the prayer is called, and when rain falls'[reported by Imam al-Shafi' in al-Umm, al-Sahihah #1469]

20. When Muslims gather for the purpose of invoking and remembering Allah (Dhikrullah)

The Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said:If a group of people sit together remembering Allah, the angels will circle them, mercy will shroud them, peace will descend onto them and Allah will remember them among those with Him. [Muslim]

25. Dua of people after the death of a person

In a long hadith, Umm Salamah (radiAllahu anha) narrated that the Prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said, when Abu Salamah had just passed away, and had closed his eyes,'Do not ask for yourselves anything but good, for the angels will say 'Ameen' to all that you ask for. O Allah, forgive Abu Salamah, and raise his ranks among those who are guided.'[Muslim, abu Dawud, Ahmad]

26. Dua of the one fasting until he breaks his fast

The Messenger of Allah (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) said; Three supplications will not be rejected (by Allah (Subhanahu wa Ta'ala)), the supplication of the parent for his child, the supplication of the one who is fasting, and the supplication of the traveler. [al-Bayhaqi, at-Tirmidhi - Sahih]

27. Dua of the one fasting at the time of breaking fast

The prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) declared,'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: when a fasting person breaks fast (in another narration, the fasting person until he breaks his fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]

29. Dua of a just Ruler

The prophet (salAllahu alayhi wasalam) declared,'Three men whose dua is never rejected (by Allah) are: the fasting person until he breaks his fast (in another narration, when he breaks fast), the just ruler and the one who is oppressed.'[Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi - Hasan]

Allaah's Messenger (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said :

"Allaah The Most High has ninety-nine names.
He who retains them in his memory will enter Paradise . "

Narrated Abu As-Sawar Al-Adawi:
'Imran bin Husain said,
"The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

'Haya' does not bring anything except good."

Thereupon Bashir bin Ka'b said, 'It is written in the wisdom paper:
Haya leads to solemnity; Haya leads to tranquility (peace of mind)."
'Imran said to him, "I am narrating to you the saying of Allah's Apostle
and you are speaking about your paper (wisdom book)?"
(This term "Haya" covers a large number of concepts which
are to be taken together; amongst them are self respect,
modesty, bashfulness, and scruple, etc.)

(Bukhari Volume 8, Book 73, Number 138)

Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
A slave who had made a contract with his master to pay for his freedom,
came to me and said: "I am unable to fulfill my obligation, so help me.
'' Ali (May Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "Shall I not teach you a supplication
which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) taught me?
It will surely prove so effective that if you have a debt as large as a huge mountain,
Allah will surely pay it for you. Say:

`Allahumm-akfini bihalalika `an haramika,
wa aghnini bifadlika `amman siwaka

(O Allah! Grant me enough of what You make lawful so that I may dispense with what
You make unlawful, and enable me by Your Grace to dispense with all but You).'' [At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: It is important to recite this Du`a in order to seek Allah's Help in
paying one's debts and in avoiding to beg of people.

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (radhiAllaahu 'anhu) reported,
"One day the Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) entered the mosque.
He (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam)saw there a man from the Ansar called
Abu Umamah. He(sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) asked, 'What is the matter
with you that I see you sitting in the mosque when it is not the time of prayer.
' He replied, 'I am very much worried and in great debt, O Messenger of Allah!'
The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Let me teach you words
to say so that Allah will remove your worries and settle your debt?'
He exclaimed, 'Of course, O, Messenger of Allah.'
The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, 'Say in morning and evening,

Allahumma innee a`udhu bika mina al-hamm wal hazan
wa a`udhu bika mina al-`ajzi wa al-kasal
wa a`udhu bika mina al-jubun wa al-bukhl
wa a`udhu bika min ghalabati al-dayni wa qahri al-rrijaal

"O Allah, I seek refuge in You from all worry and grief. I seek refuge in You from
incapacity and slackness. I seek refuge in You from cowardice and niggardliness,
and I seek refuge in You from being overcome by debt and being subjected to men".
' The man said, 'When I did that, Allah removed all my worries and settled my debt'."
(Abu Daw'ud)

Khaula bint Hakim Sulamiyya (radhiAllaahu 'anhu) reported:
I heard Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying:
When anyone lands at a place, and then says:

'A'oothu bikalimaatil-laahit-taammaati min sharri maa khalaqa.

" I seek refuge in the Perfect Word of Allah from the evil of what He has created,"

nothing would harm him until he marches from that stopping place.
{Muslim}

Abu Hurayrah (radiyallaahu ’anhu) reported that the
Prophet (sallallaahu ’alayhi wa sallam) said,
“Whoever recites the words:

La ilaha illalahu wahaduhu lashareekalahu lahul
mulku walahul hamdu wahuwwa ala kulli shyin khadeer

{There is no one worthy of worship but Allaah, the One, having no partner
with Him. Sovereignty belongs to Him and All praise is due to Him, and
He is Powerful over everything}”,

one hundred times every day, there is a reward equal to freeing ten slaves for him,
and a hundred good actions are recorded for him, and a hundred wrong actions are
removed from his record. That is a safeguard for him against Shaytaan on that
day until evening, and no one brings anything more excellent than this, except the
one who has done more than this (that is, who recites these words more than one
hundred times).”

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported
that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
'Whoever sees somebody who is sick or in some hardship, and says
the following dua will never be afflicted by that sickness or difficulty:
Alhamndulil laahillazee'aafaanee mimmab-talaaka bihee
wafad dalanee 'alaa kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdeelaa
{Praise and thanks be to Allah Who has saved me from what he has
afflicted you with, and has honored me over many of His creatures}
(Reported by Tirmizhi, who considers it sound)
An-Nawawi states that the scholars said, "One should say the above
mentioned supplication inaudibly so that the afflicted person should not
hear it, lest he should be grieved by it. But if the affliction is the result
of his sinful conduct then there is no harm in his listening if he is not
heedful of evil."

Narrated by Ibn al-Sunni in ‘Aml al-Yawm wa’l-Laylah from
Abu’l-Darda’ (may Allaah be pleased with him), from the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said:

“Whoever says every day, in the morning and the evening,


Hasbi Allaahu laa illaha illa huwa ‘alayhi tawwakaltu
wa huwa rabb al-‘arsh il-‘azeem

(Sufficient for me is Allaah, besides Whom there is no other god;
in Him have I put my trust and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne),

seven times, Allaah will suffice him with regard to what
he is worried about, in this world and in the Hereafter.”
This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by
Shu’ayb al-Arna’oot in Tahqeeq Zaad al-Ma’aad (2/342).

Ubada Ibn Assamet may Allah be Pleased with him, said I heard
the Messenger of Allah (Salla Allah a`lyhee wa sallam ) say:

One who makes Istighfar (asks Allah for forgiveness)
for the believers, Allah shall record a good deed (hasana)
for him, for each & every male and female believer"

(reported by Albani)

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), said,
He who observed the 'Isya' prayer in congregation, it was as if he prayed up to the
midnight, and he who prayed the morning prayer in congregation, it was as if he
prayed the whole night.........(Muslim)

Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The supplication most often recited by the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) was:

"Allahumma atina fid-dunya hasanatan,
wa fil-akhirati hasanatan, wa qina `adhab-annar


(O our Rubb! give us in this world that which is good
and in the Hereafter that which is good,
and save us from the punishment of the Fire).''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

In the narration of Muslim it is added that whenever
Anas (May Allah be pleased with him) supplicated,
he used to beseech Allah with this Du`a.

Commentary: It is desirable to recite this Du`a which is mentioned in
the Qur'an (2:201) and which comprehends all that is good both in this
life and the Hereafter.
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) made it a
habit to recite this Du`a, and the Companions were eager to follow
him in all his words and actions.

Abu Umamah Al-Bahili (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

"I guarantee a house in Jannah for one who
gives up arguing, even if he is in the right;

and I guarantee a home in the middle of Jannah
for one who abandons lying even for the sake of fun;

and I guarantee a house in the highest part of Jannah
for one who has good manners.''

[Abu Dawud].

Commentary: Withdrawal from one's right in order to end a dispute
is a manly act of great merit. Likewise, this Hadith tells us that a man
should avoid telling a lie even in a light vein. If he gives great importance
to the rules of the Shari`ah (Islamic Law) and the Commandments of Allah
and His Prophet (PBUH), he will definitely refrain from telling a lie even in a
chat session or just for the sake of joke. Usually, people don't mind if one
tells a lie in a jocular mood, rather some will perhaps approve it.
Yet, Allah disapproves of even the harmless or trivial form of falsehood
and commands His slaves to keep away from it. From all considerations,
however, moral excellence carries immense weight. Because no wrong
or evil thing can be shunned without it. In other words, moral excellence
surpasses all forms of goodness.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
“Whoever recites Qul huwa Allaahu ahad ten times,
Allaah will build for him a house in Paradise.”
(Saheeh al-Jaami’ al-Sagheer, 6472).


Qul huwal lahu a'haad. Allah'hus Samad. Lam ya'lid wa'lam yu'lad. Wa'lam ya'kul-la'hu Kuf'fu'wan a'had.
" Say: He is Allah, the One and Only; Allah, the Eternal, Absolute; He begetteth not, nor is He begotten; And there is none like unto Him." 112:1- 4

Ziyad bin `Ilaqah reported: My uncle Qutbah bin Malik (May Allah be pleased with him)
said that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to supplicate:

"Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min munkaratil-akhlaqi, wal-a`mali, wal-ahwa`i"

(O Allah! I seek refuge in You from undesirable manners, deeds, and aspirations).''

[At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: The prayer is recited to seek Allah's Help in shunning
bad manners and observing good manners and righteous deeds.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated:
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"He who repents before the sun rises from the west, Allah will forgive him".

[Muslim].

Commentary: Taubah means returning to Allah from sins. When a person commits a
sin, he goes away from Allah. When he repents, he returns to Allah and desires for being
pardoned by Him, and getting near Him. This returning towards Him is Taubah. When it is
said that `Allah turns towards him', it means that Allah accepts his repentance.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported
that the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
'Whoever sees somebody who is sick or in some hardship, and says
the following dua will never be afflicted by that sickness or difficulty:
Alhamndulil laahillazee'aafaanee mimmab-talaaka bihee
wafad dalanee 'alaa kaseerim mimman khalaqa tafdeelaa
{Praise and thanks be to Allah Who has saved me from what he has
afflicted you with, and has honored me over many of His creatures}
(Reported by Tirmizhi, who considers it sound)

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"He who utters:
`Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi
(Allah is free from imperfection and His is the praise)'
one hundred times a day,
his sins will be obliterated even if they are equal to
the extent of the foam of the ocean.''[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"By Him in Whose Hand is my life! You will not enter Jannah
until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another.
Shall I inform you of something which, if you do, you will love one
another? Promote greetings amongst yourselves.''
[Muslim].

Commentary: Iman is a prerequisite for entry to Jannah.
Whereas mutual love among Muslims is complementary to it,
and this quality can only be attained by giving a social character
to the Islamic form of greeting, that is to say, `As-Salamu `Alaikum.'

Al-Bara' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"Two Muslims will not meet and shake hands without
having their sins forgiven (by Allah ) before they depart.''
[Abu Dawud].

Commentary: Herein, we are told that Allah forgives the minor sins of the two
believers who shake hands. However, major sins cannot be forgiven without
heartfelt repentance with its conditions. As for our duty towards our fellow-humans,
it is inescapable, and a failure in this regard is not forgiven. To sum up, when two
Muslims meet and shake hands, two benefits accrue to them. Firstly, their mutual
love increases, and secondly, their minor sins are pardoned by Allah.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"Allah, the Exalted, smiles at two men, one of them killed the other and
both will enter Jannah. The first is killed by the other while he is fighting
in the Cause of Allah, and thereafter Allah will turn in mercy to the second
and guide him to accept Islam and then he dies as a Shaheed (martyr)
fighting in the Cause of Allah.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary: Even the greatest sins, including those which one has
committed before embracing Islam, are forgiven by repentance.
Smiling is also one of the Attributes of Allah, although
we are unaware of the nature of it.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,
"There are two statements that are light for the tongue
to remember, heavy in the Scales and are dear to the Merciful:
`Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi, Subhan-Allahil-Azim
[Glory be to Allah and His is the praise, (and) Allah, the
Greatest is free from imperfection)'.''[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"He who recites after every prayer:
Subhan-Allah (Allah is free from imperfection) thirty-three times;
Al-hamdu lillah (praise be to Allah) thirty-three times;
Allahu Akbar (Allah is Greatest) thirty-three times;
and completes the hundred with:
La ilaha illallahu, wahdahu la sharika lahu,
lahul-mulku wa lahul-hamdu,
wa Huwa `ala kulli shai'in Qadir
(there is no true god except Allah. He is One and
He has no partner with Him. His is the sovereignty
and His is the praise, and He is Omnipotent),

will have all his sins pardoned even if they may
be as large as the foam on the surface of the sea.''

[Muslim].

`Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"The one who was devoted to the Qur'an will be told on the Day of
Resurrection: `Recite and ascend (in ranks) as you used to recite when
you were in the world. Your rank will be at the last Ayah you recite.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: This Hadith mentions the merit of those who commit the Qur'an
(whole or part thereof) to memory (Huffaz). The word `ascend' here means to rise
in ranks in the Jannah. The more one remembers the Qur'an, the more clear and
distinct is his recitation of it, the higher would be the status that he will go on
attaining through its blessings. Thus, this Hadith provides inducement for the
remembrance of the Qur'an and tells us that its frequent recitation is a means
to attain higher ranks in Jannah.

Shakal bin Humaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I asked: "O Messenger of Allah, teach me a prayer.''
He (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said, "Say:

Allahumma inni a`udhu bika min sharri sam`i, wa min sharri basari,
wa min sharri lisani, wa min sharri qalbi, wa min sharri maniyyi

(O Allah! I seek refuge in You from the evils of my hearing, the evils of my seeing,
the evils of my tongue; the evils of my heart and the evils of passions).''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

Commentary: The evil mischief of ears lies in lending them to lies, calumnies, backbiting
and other forbidden things (music etc.), or closing the ears to the truth. The mischief of eyes
lies in finding faults with people, looking at what is forbidden to look at, and ignoring the
Signs of Allah scattered everywhere in the universe. The mischief of the heart lies in
occupying one's heart with the love of anyone else other than Allah. "Mani'' (semen) is that
sticky fluid which comes out of the male organ after sexual gratification. Here it means the
sexual organs. The mischief of these lie in using them in a sinful act. One is advised to
safeguard one's ears, eyes, heart, sexual organs, and all the organs of one's body against
their improper use in order to gain the Pleasure of Allah. One will be accountable for all
these things on the Day of Judgement.

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"If anyone constantly seeks pardon (from Allah), Allah will appoint for him a way
out of every distress and a relief from every anxiety, and will provide sustenance
for him from where he expects not.''..................................................[Abu Dawud].

Mu`awiyah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"When Allah wishes good for someone,
He bestows upon him the understanding of Deen.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

Commentary: Knowledge and understanding of Deen (religion) here stands for
the understanding of the Qur'an and Hadith, religious injunctions, and knowledge
of the lawful and the unlawful. This Hadith highlights the excellence of knowledge
and the fact that it is a sign of Allah's Help to the person who possesses it and
acts upon it.

Rasulullah (sallallaho alaihe wasallam) once said to his companions,

"Shall I tell you something that is the best of all deeds, constitutes the best
act of piety in the eyes of your Lord, will elevate your status in the Hereafter,
and carries more virtue than the spending of gold and silver in the service of
Allah or taking part in JIHAD and slaying or being slain in the path of Allah?"
The Companions said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!"
The Prophet (Sallallaho alaihe wasallam) replied,

"It is the Zikr of Almighty Allah."

(Narrated by Tirmidhi, Ahmad, and Hakim who declared its chain of narrators sound )

It was reported from ‘Abd-Allaah ibn Mas’ood (May Allah be pleased with him)
that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

“No person suffers any anxiety or grief, and says:

‘Allaahumma innee ‘abduka wa ibn ‘abdika wa ibn amatika,
naasiyati bi yadika, maadin fiyya hukmuka,
‘adlun fiyya qadaa’uka,
as’aluka bi kulli ismin huwa laka sammayta bihi nafsaka
aw anzaltahu fi kitaabika
aw ‘allamtahu ahadan min khalqika
aw ista’tharta bihi fi ‘ilm il-ghaybi ‘andak
an taj’ala al-Qur’aana rabee’ qalbi wa noor sadri
wa jalaa’a huzni wa dhahaaba hammi

(O Allaah, I am Your slave, son of Your slave, son of Your female slave,
my forelock is in Your hand, Your command over me is forever executed
and Your decree over me is just. I ask You by every Name belonging to
You which You named Yourself with, or revealed in Your Book, or You
taught to any of Your creation, or You have preserved in the knowledge
of the unseen with You, that You make the Qur’aan the life of my heart
and the light of my breast, and a departure for my sorrow and a
release for my anxiety)’ -

but Allaah will take away his sorrow and grief,
and give him in their stead joy.”

(Ahmad 1/391 and Al-Albaanee declared it sahih.)

Rabi`ah bin Ka`b Al-Aslami (May Allah be pleased with him (a servant of the
Messenger of Allah and also one of the people of As-Suffah) said: I used to
spend my night in the company of Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and used to put up
water for his ablutions. One day he said to me, "Ask something of me.'' I said:
"I request for your companionship in Jannah". He (PBUH) inquired, "Is there
anything else?'' I said, "That is all.'' He (PBUH) said,
"Then help me in your request by multiplying your prostrations"

(Muslim)

Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported the
Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wasallam) said,
Recite Ayatul Kursi when you go to bed,
for there will remain with you until the morning a guardian
(angel) from Allah, whom will not allow shaytaan (devil) to
come near you............................................[Sahih al-Bukhari]

Narrated Hadhrat Abu Hurairah (Radhi Allaho anho):
The Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu alayhi wa sallam asked,

"Do you know who is the poor person?"
The listeners (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) replied:
"O Messenger of Allah, the poor amongst us is the one who does not have any money or property."

The Prophet Muhammad Sall Allahu alayhi wa sallam replied:
"The poor in my ummah (nation) is the person who will come on the Day of Resurrection
backed with prayers, fasting, zakat (obligatory charity), and hajj, but also with a number of
injustices to others, such as: abusing this one, taking the property of that one,
slandering one, hitting another, or shedding the blood of someone else. Thereafter, his good deeds will be taken one after one and given to this person or that person
who were wronged by him. If his good deeds have been exhausted before his wrong deeds are
all settled, some of the evil deeds of the wronged persons will be allocated to him, and he (left
with no more reward but sins) will be thrown into the Fire."

(Sahih Muslim)

Narrated AbuHurayrah (May Allah be pleased with him) :
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

Verily, Allah would say on the Day of Resurrection:
Where are those who have mutual love for My Glory's sake?
Today I shall shelter them in My shadow when there is no other
shadow but the shadow of Mine.

Sahih Muslim: Book 31, Number 6225.

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallah unho) reported: The Messenger of Allah (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) said,

"Every one of my Ummah will enter Jannah (Paradise)
except those who refuse."
His Companions asked, O Messenger of Allah, "Who will refuse?"
He (Salallahu Alaihi Wasallam) answered,
"Whoever obeys me will enter Paradise,
and whoever disobeys me has refused (to enter Paradise).”

[Al-Bukhari]

Abu Umamah Al-Baahili (may Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

" The one who recites Ayatul Kursi after each of the
obligatory prayers, then death will be the only thing
preventing him from entering Jannah, i.e, Paradise."

[Related by Ibn Sunnee; See Silsilah Sahihah of Albaani, #972 ]

Abu Mas'ud Al-Ansari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported
Allah's Messenger (May Allah's Peace and Blessings Be Upon Him) as saying,

"When a Muslim spends on his family seeking reward
for it from Allah, it counts for him as sadaqa".

(Bukhari and Muslim)

Abu Hurayrah (radhi allahu anhu) narrated
that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) said:

“Allah, the Exalted, is Tayyib (Good and Pure) and He
only accepts that which is Tayyib. Allah has
indeed Commanded the believers with what He
has Commanded the Messengers, He said,

“0 (you) Messengers! Eat of at-Tayyibat (all things good
and pure), and do righteous deeds. [23:51]
And Allah the Almighty also said:

“O you who believe! Eat of the lawful things that We
have provided you”[2:172].

Then he (the Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa-sallam) mentioned
a man —who has been traveling for such a long time, that
his hair has become messed up and he has become covered
in dust— and who is raising his hand towards heaven
(and praying), ‘0 my Lord. 0 my Lord,’ while his food is from
Haram (impermissible source), his drink is from Haram, his
clothes are from Haram and he was fed (and grew up) from
Haraam therefore, how can his pleas be accepted?”
[Related by Muslim]

Allah says in the Qur'an "Remember Allah abundantly, in order that you become successful"
Quran (Surah 8: Verse 45)

"Only in the remembrance of Allah (swt) will your heart find peace"
Quran (Surah 13: Verse 28)

"Those men and women who engage much in Allah's praise. for them Allah has prepared forgiveness and a Great Reward"
Quran (Surah 33: Verse 35)

"When any group of men remember Allah, angels surround them and mercy covers them, tranquility descends upon them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him." (Muslim)

We also know that remembering Allah is of the greatest deed:

"The rememebrence of Allah (swt) is the greatest (deed)"
Quran (Surah 29: Verse 45)

and of the the worst things we can do is not to remember Allah:

"Satan has mastered them and caused them to forget the Remembrance of Allah. Those are satan's party; and satan's party shall assuredly be the losers"
Quran (Surah 58: Verse 19)

"Whosoever turns away from the Remembrance of Allah, He will hurl him into a stern punishment".
Quran (Surah 72: Verse 17)

"Whosoever turns away from My remembrance, his life will be made tight and narrow on the Day of Resurrection We shall raise him blind"
Quran (Surah 20: Verse 124)

Allah tells us to remember him no matter what we do whether that be lying or sitting down:

"They are the most wise who remember Allah, standing sitting and lying down"
Quran (Surah 4: Verse 190)

We should remember Allah no matter what we are doing and we should ALWAYS try to keep our tongues moist with his rememberance and glorification. However we cannot glorify him in the toilet.

That is why we are recommended to haste in doing whatever we have to do in the toilet so that we can continue to add to our good deed accounts.

The tongue is connected to the heart and we should try not to merely get into the habit of glorifying him with only the tongue but we should try and make connection to the heart whenever we are glorifying and praising him.

All good deeds are not rewarded the same. They are dependant upon how much sincerety and khushoo a person has whilst doing the good action as well as the intention of the good act.

So we should all endevour to try and make a connection from our tongues to our hearts especially in Salah and try not to make our minds wonder elsewhere otherwise it is said that we are robbing our Salah and therefore lessening the reward for it. Same way with zikr we should make a connection with the heart to get the full benefits from zikr aswell as more of a reward from it.

Here are some very beneficial Zikr's that we can all do especially in the remaining days of this Ramadhan and throughout the year everyday and we should try to every minute and second.

Some beneficial dhikr include:

Subhan'Allah- 'Praise be to Allah'
Al-Hamdullilah- 'Thanks be to Allah'
Allahu Akbar – 'Allah is the Greatest.'
La ila ha illallah- There is no worthy of worship except allah

Abu haraira(ra) Narrates: Prophet(saw) said: whoever says: Subhanallahi Wa Bihamdihi – (I deem Allah free of any resemblances to anything whatever in any repeat, and I glorify his praises) one hundred times a day will have his sins forgiven even though they may be as much as the foam of the sea – (Bukhari,b73:c19)

Another naration says a date palm will be planted for him in Paradise (Tirmidhi)

Read much of this Zikr:

Subhaan-Allahi walhamdu-lillaahi, wa laa ilaa-ha illa-la ill-lal-lahu wallahu Akbar, walaa haula wala quoow-wata illa billa hil-Aliyyil-azeem.

"Glory is for Allaah and all Praise is due to Allah. There is none worthy of worship except Allaah. Allaah is the greatest. There is no power and no strength except with Allaah the Most High, the Great."

Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Is anyone of you incapable of earning one thousand Hasanah (rewards) a day?" Someone from the gathering asked, "How can anyone of us earn a thousand Hasanah?" Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said: "Glorify Allah a hundred times by just saying “Subhanallah” and a Good deeds will be written for you, or a thousand sins will be wiped away.”
[Muslim 4:2073]

Hadhrat Abu Dharr [Ra] narrated that Rasulallah [Saw] said: “Should I not tell you of one treasure of the unlimited treasures of Paradise?” I replied spontaneously “Oh Rasulallah (Saw) that would be an honour indeed!” Rasulallah (Saw) said: “That rare treasure is LA HAWLA WA LA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH.” (“The strength to do good and to refrain from evil comes from the grace and mercy of Allah!”) - (Ibn Majah)

A Phrase that Comes with Rewards in the Millions:

On the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet said,”Whoever enters a market and says:

‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’

{There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable.}

Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah .”And in another narration, which is also classed as hasan, instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states,”and he will be raised one million levels.” {Tirmidhi}.


Also:

Earn OVER One Million good deeds in just 5 minutes this Ramdhan



Its VERY easy to Earn 500 good deeds a day in Ramadhan.



If you were to manage 500 good deeds every day of Ramadan, you would receive (70 times 500 = 35000) multiplied by 30 days..........1,050,000 deeds! One million fifty thousand deeds!





Just say Subhanallah 100 times, Alhamdullilah 100 times, Allahu Akbar 100 times, La ilaha il Allah 100 times and Astaghfar allah 100 times.



Imagine how much we can earn by doing MUCH more than this!

Also:

Heres another BRILLIAAANT one whenever you go the the market. In modern day terms if you ever go to the shops, supermarket, high street or shopping centre or mall:

On the authority of Abdullah ibn ‘Umar that the Prophet said,”Whoever enters a market and says:

‘Laa ilaaha ill Allah waHdahu laa shareeka lah, lahul mulku wa lahul Hamdu yuHyi wa yumeetu wa huwa Hayyun laa yamoot, bi yadihil khayr, wahuwa ‘alaa kulli shay’in qadeer’

There is nothing worthy of worship but Allah, He is alone without partner, to Him belongs the dominion and the praise, he causes life and death and He is the Living One and will never die. In His Hand is all good, and He is over all things capable.}

Allah will write for him a million good deeds, erase a million of his bad deeds and build for him a house in Jannah .”And in another narration, which is also classed as hasan, instead of mentioning that Allah will build a house in Jannah, it states,”and he will be raised one million levels.” {Tirmidhi}.

Abu Sa’id (ra) said that Rasullilah (salalahi alahi wasalam) said, “Whoever says:

Radeetu billahi rabban, wa bil-Islaami deenan, wa bi-Muhammadin rasoolan

Jannah becomes obligatory for him (to enter). [Abu-Dawud]

- Best said in Morning and Evening with "Nabiyan wa rasoolan"

The Prophet SallAllaho Alaihi Wa Salam one day said to Ali Radi Allaho Anho: Ya Ali! Do these five things before going to bed at night:

1. Give 4000 Dinaars in Sadaqa and then sleep
2. Read one complete Quran and then sleep
3. Pay the price for Janna'h and then sleep
4.. Make two people happy with each other when they are upset and then sleep
5. Do one hajj and then sleep

Hazrat Ali Radi Allaho Anho said, Ya Rasulallah SallAllaho Alaihi Wa Salam! This looks impossible, how will I be able to do it? Then the prophet Sallalaho Alaihi Wa Salam replied:

4 times reading surah Fatiha is equals to four thousand Dinaars giving in Sadaqa.

3 times reading surah Ikhlas (Qul hu Allahu Ahad) is equals to one complete Quran.

3 times reading any durood shareef (Shortest: SallAllaho Alaihi Wa Salam) is the price of jannat.

10 times Astagfirullah (or any istighfar) is equals to making two unhappy people happy with each other.

4 times third Kalima is equal to performing one Hajj.
After this Ali Radi Allaho Anho said, Ya RasulAllah SallAllaho Alaihi Wa Salam! Now I will do all these before going to bed.

Taken from Majmua e Wazaif

The Prayer (Salaah) where Miswaak is used is 70 times more rewarding that the prayer (Salaah) that Miswak is not used (Hazrat Ayesha- Mishkat)

So in this month thats 70x70= 4,900 times more rewward for each Salaah! Subhanallah

So lets get brushinggg

There is not much time left in this blessed month so lets do as much as we can for every deed is multiplied by SOOOO MUCH!!

Please remember me in your duas

Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,
"For him who says:
`Subhan-Allahi wa bi hamdihi
(Allah is free from imperfection, and I begin with praising Him, and to Him),'
a palm-tree will be planted in Jannah.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: Jannah is so vast that we cannot even imagine its vastness.
The planting of trees in return for the Praise and Glorification of Allah is, therefore,
neither something difficult nor surprising. So, there should not be any hesitation
in accepting it as a fact. Some people take it is as a metaphor for a plentiful reward.

The Prophet Muhammad (Sal-allahu-alleihi-wasallam) said,

"That which distinguishes us from the disbelievers and hypocrites
is our commitment to Prayer. He who gives it up falls into disbelief."

Narrated by Buraydah ibn al-Hasib (Radi Allah Ta'lah Anhu); Ahmad, Tirmidhi,
Nasai and Ibne Maja transmitted it. Hadith No.574 of Mishkat Al-Masabih.

`Ubadah bin As-Samit (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"He who bears witness that there is no true god except Allah,
alone having no partner with Him,
that Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
is His slave and His Messenger,
that `Isa (Jesus) is His slave and Messenger and he (Jesus) is His Word which
He communicated to Maryam (Mary) and His spirit which He sent to her,
that Jannah is true and Hell is true;

Allah will make him enter Jannah accepting whatever deeds he accomplished ".

Narrated by Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him),
the Messenger of ALLAAH (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), said,

“Do not belittle even the smallest act of kindness,
even if it were no more than meeting your brother
with a smiling and cheerful face.”

(Sahih Muslim)

Abu Umamah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) saying,

"Read the Qur'an, for it will come as an intercessor for its reciters
on the Day of Resurrection.''
[Muslim].

Commentary: This Hadith tells the excellence of reciting the Qur'an and acting
upon its injunctions. Intercession (in this Hadath) means that the Qur'an will be
endowed with the power of speech by Allah and it will request Allah to forgive the
sins of its reciters who acted upon its teachings. Allah will accept the request of
the Qur'an, as signified in other Ahadith.

Ibn Mas`ud (May Allah be pleased with him) said:
The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "He who says:
`Astaghfir ullah-alladhi la ilaha illa Huwal-Haiyul-Qayyumu,
wa atubu ilaihi
(I seek the forgiveness of Allah, there is no true god except Allah,
the Ever-Living, the Self-Subsisting, and I turn to Him in repentance),'
his sins will be forgiven even if he should have run away from
the battlefield (while he was engaged in fighting for the Cause of Allah).''
(Abu Dawud, At-Tirmidhi and Al-Hakim)

Narrated by Ibn al-Sunni in ‘Aml al-Yawm wa’l-Laylah from
Abu’l-Darda’ (may Allaah be pleased with him), from the
Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) who said:

“Whoever says every day, in the morning and the evening,


Hasbi Allaahu laa illaha illa huwa ‘alayhi tawwakaltu
wa huwa rabb al-‘arsh il-‘azeem

(Sufficient for me is Allaah, besides Whom there is no other god;
in Him have I put my trust and He is the Lord of the mighty Throne),

seven times, Allaah will suffice him with regard to what
he is worried about, in this world and in the Hereafter.”

This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by
Shu’ayb al-Arna’oot in Tahqeeq Zaad al-Ma’aad (2/342).

Uthman bin `Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,
"He who recites three times every morning and evening:

`Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma`as-mihi shai'un
fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i, wa Huwas-Sami`ul-`Alim

(In the Name of Allah with Whose Name there is protection
against every kind of harm in the earth or in the heaven,
and He is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing),'
nothing will harm him.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi].

It is narrated on the authority of Sufyan b. 'Abdulla al-Thaqafi
(May Allah be pleased with him) that he said:
I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
to tell me about Islam a thing which might dispense with the necessity of my
asking anybody after you.
In the hadith of Abu Usama the (words) are: other than you.
He (the Holy Prophet, sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam ) remarked:
Say I affirm my faith in Allah and then remain steadfast to it.
{Muslim}

The Prophet (sallallaahu 'alayhe wa sallam) said:

“Whoever controls his anger at the time when he has the means to
act upon it, Allaah will call him before all of mankind on the Day of
Resurrection, and will let him choose of the Hoor al-‘Ayn whoever
he wants.”

(Reported by Aboo Daawood, 4777, and others.
It is classified as hasan in Saheeh al-Jaami‘, 6518).

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said,

"The most perfect man in his faith among the believers is the one
whose behaviour is most excellent; and the best of you are those
who are the best to their wives.''
[At-Tirmidhi].
