It is
narrated on the authority of Ibn Abbas (RA) that the Messenger of Allah (peace
be upon him) transmitted it from the Blessed and Great Lord: Verily Allah
recorded the good and the evil and then made it clear that he who intended good
but did not do it, Allah recorded one complete good in his favor, but if he
intended it and also did it, the Glorious and Great Allah recorded ten to seven
hundred virtues and even more to his credit. But it he intended evil, but did
not commit it, Allah wrote down full one good in his favor. If he intended that
and also committed it, Allah made an entry of one evil against him.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 245)
About
Benefits
It is
narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira (RA) that the Messenger of Allah
(peace be upon him) observed: When three things appear faith will not benefit
one who has not previously believed or has derived no good from his faith: the
rising of the sun in its place of setting, the Dajjal, and the beast of the
earth.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 1, Hadith 305)
About
Intentions
Narrated
`Umar (RA): I heard the Prophet (peace be upon him) saying, "The reward of
deeds depends on the intentions, so whoever emigrated for the worldly benefits
or to marry a woman, his emigration was for that for which he emigrated, but
whoever emigrated for the Sake of Allah and His Apostle, his emigration is for
Allah and His Apostle."
(Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol. 5, Book 63, Hadith 124)
About
Seeking Allah
Ibn 'Abbas
(RA) narrated: "I was behind the Prophet (peace be upon him) one day when
he said: 'O boy! I will teach you a statement: Be mindful of Allah and He will
protect you. Be mindful of Allah and you will find Him before you. When you
ask, ask Allah, and when you seek aid, seek Allah's aid. Know that if the
entire creation were to gather together to do something to benefit you- you
would never get any benefit except that Allah had written for you. And if they
were to gather to do something to harm you- you would never be harmed except
that Allah had written for you. The pens are lifted and the pages are
dried.'"
(Jami`
at-Tirmidhi, Vol. 4, Book 37, Hadith 2706)
About
Shepherds
It has been
narrated on the authority of Ibn 'Umar (RA) that the Prophet (peace be upon
him) said: Beware every one of you is a shepherd and everyone is answerable
with regard to his flock. The Caliph is a shepherd over the people and shall be
questioned about his subjects (as to how he conducted their affairs). A man is
a guardian over the members of his family and shal be questioned about them (as
to how he looked after their physical and moral well-being). A woman is a
guardian over the household of her husband and his children and shall be
questioned about them (as to how she managed the household and brought up the
children). A slave is a guardian over the property of his master and shall be
questioned about it (as to how he safeguarded his trust). Beware, every one of
you is a guardian and every one of you shall be questioned with regard to his
trust.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 33, Hadith 24)
About
Friday
Reported by
Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘On every Friday the
angels take their stand at every gate of the mosques to write the names of the
people chronologically (i.e. according to the time of their arrival for the
Friday prayer and when the Imam sits (on the pulpit) they fold up their scrolls
and get ready to listen to the sermon.’

About
Embracing Islam
Narrated Abu
Sa'id Al Khudri (RA): Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "If a
person embraces Islam sincerely, then Allah shall forgive all his past sins,
and after that starts the settlement of accounts, the reward of his good deeds
will be ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and one evil deed
will be recorded as it is unless Allah forgives it."

About
Leprosy
Narrated Abu
Huraira (RA): Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, '(There is) no 'Adwa
(no contagious disease is conveyed without Allah's permission). nor is there
any bad omen (from birds), nor is there any Hamah, nor is there any bad omen in
the month of Safar, and one should run away from the leper as one runs away
from a lion.''
(Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol. 7, Book 76, Hadith 27)
About
Wailing
Yazid ibn
Aws (RA) said: I entered upon Abu Musa (RA) while he was at the point of death.
His wife began to weep or was going to weep. Abu Musa (RA) said to her: Did you
not hear what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said? She said: Yes.
The narrator said: She then kept silence. When Abu Musa (RA) died, Yazid (RA)
said: I met the woman and asked her: What did Abu Musa (RA) mean when he said
to you: Did you not hear what the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) and
the you kept silence? She replied: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)
said: He who shaves (his head), shouts and tears his clothing does not belong
to us.

Dawud, Book 21, Hadith 42)
About
Remembering Allah
Hammam bin
Munabbih (RA) reported so many a hadith from Abu Huraira (RA) and one out of
them is this that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said that Allah thus
stated: When My servant draws close to me by the span of a palm, I draw close
to him by the space of a cubit, and when he draws close to Me by the space of a
cubit, I draw close to him by the space (covered) by two hands, and when he
draws close to Me by the space (covered by) two hands, I go in hurry towards
him.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 48, Hadith 3)
