Narrated Abu
Musa (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "The example of guidance
and knowledge with which Allah has sent me is like abundant rain falling on the
earth, some of which was fertile soil that absorbed rain water and brought
forth vegetation and grass in abundance. (And) another portion of it was hard
and held the rain water and Allah benefited the people with it and they
utilized it for drinking, making their animals drink from it and for irrigation
of the land for cultivation. (And) a portion of it was barren which could
neither hold the water nor bring forth vegetation (then that land gave no
benefits). The first is the example of the person who comprehends Allah's
religion and gets benefit (from the knowledge) which Allah has revealed through
me (the Prophets and learns and then teaches others. The last example is that
of a person who does not care for it and does not take Allah's guidance
revealed through me (He is like that barren land.)"
(Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol. 1, Book 3, Hadith 21)
About
Knowledge
Abu Musa
(RA) reported Allah's Apostle (peace be upon him) as saying: The similitude of
that guidance and knowledge with which Allah, the Exalted and Glorious, has
sent me is that of rain falling upon the earth. There is a good piece of land
which receives the rainfall (eagerly) and as a result of it there is grown in
it herbage and grass abundantly. Then there is a land hard and barren which
retains water and the people derive benefit from it and they drink it and make
the animals drink. Then there is another land which is barren. Neither water is
retained in it, nor is the grass grown in it. And that is the similitude of the
first one who develops the understanding of the religion of Allah and it
becomes a source of benefit to him with which Allah sent me. (The second one is
that) who acquires the knowledge of religion and imparts it to others. (Then
the other type is) one who does not pay attention to (the revealed knowledge)
and thus does not accept guidance of Allah with which I have been sent.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 43, Hadith 16)
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
Charity
Salman bin
Amir Dabbi (RA) narrated that: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said:
“Charity given to the poor is charity, and that given to a relative is two
things: charity and upholding the ties of kinship.”
(Sunan Ibn
Majah, Book 8, Hadith 62)
About
Virtues
Anas bin
Malik (RA) reported: I saw Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) during the
time of the afternoon prayer and the people asking for water for performing
ablution which they did not find. (A small quantity) of water was brought to
Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) and he placed his hand in that vessel and
commanded people to perform ablution. I saw water spouting from his fingers and
the people performing ablution until the last amongst them performed it.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 43, Hadith 5)
About
Oppressions
Narrated Abu
Sa`id Al-Khudri: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "When the
believers pass safely over (the bridge across) Hell, they will be stopped at a
bridge in between Hell and Paradise where they will retaliate upon each other
for the injustices done among them in the world, and when they get purified of
all their sins, they will be admitted into Paradise. By Him in Whose Hands the
life of Muhammad is everybody will recognize his dwelling in Paradise better
than he recognizes his dwelling in this world."
(Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 46, Hadith 1)
About to
show Leniency
It has been
narrated on the authority of Abu Masa that when the Messenger of Allah (peace
be upon him) deputed any of his Companions on a mission, he would say: Give
tidings (to the people); do not create (in their minds) aversion (towards
religion); show them leniency and do not be hard upon them.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 32, Hadith 6)
About
Thankful Slave
Narrated
Al-Mughira: The Prophet (peace be upon him) used to stand (in the prayer) or
pray till both his feet or legs swelled. He was asked why (he offered such an
unbearable prayer) and he said, "Should I not be a thankful slave."
(Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol. 2, Book 19, Hadith 10)
About
Paradise and the Fire
Narrated Ibn
`Umar: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "When the people of
Paradise have entered Paradise and the people of the Fire have entered the
Fire, death will be brought and will be placed between the Fire and Paradise,
and then it will be slaughtered, and a call will be made (that), 'O people of
Paradise, no more death! O people of the Fire, no more death! 'So the people of
Paradise will have happiness added to their previous happiness, and the people
of the Fire will have sorrow added to their previous sorrow."
(Sahih
al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Book 81, Hadith 137)
About
Reward
Abu Huraira
reported Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) as saying: He who called
(people) to righteousness, there would be reward (assured) for him like the
rewards of those who adhered to it, without their rewards being diminished in
any respect. And he who called (people) to error, he shall have to carry (the
burden) of its sin, like those who committed it, without their sins being
diminished in any respect.
(Sahih
Muslim, Book 47, Hadith 30)
