Hadith #1: “Surely, All Actions are but by Intentions …

On the authority of the Commander of the Faithful Abu Hafs Umar ibn al-Khattaab who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying, “Surely, all actions are but driven by intentions and, verily, every man shall have but that which he intended. Thus, he whose migration was for Allah and His Messenger, [then] his migration was for Allah and His Messenger; and he whose migration was to achieve some worldly benefit or to take a woman in marriage, his migration was for that which he migrated.”

Hadith #2 : The Hadith of Angel Jibreel..

On the authority of Umar also who said: One day while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), there came before us a man with extremely white clothing and extremely black hair.

He supported his knees up against the knees of the Prophet (peace be upon him) and put his hands on his thighs.

He said, “0 Muhammad, tell me about Islam.” The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Islam is to testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast [the month ofl Ramadhaan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you have the means to do so.” He said, “You have spoken truthfully [or correctly].” We were amazed that he asks the question and then he says that he had spoken truthfully.

He said, “Tell me about Imaan (faith).” He [the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)] responded, “It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day and to believe in the divine decree, [both] the good and the evil thereof.” He said, “You have spoken truthfully.”

He said, “Tell me about al-Ihsaan (goodness).” He [the Prophet] answered, “It is that you worship Allah as if you see Him. And even though you do not see Him, [you know] He sees you.”
He said, “Tell me about [the time ofl the Hour.” He [the Prophet (peace be upon him)] answered, “The one being asked does not know more than the one asking.”
He said, “Tell me about its signs.”
He answered, “The slave-girl shall give birth to her master, and you will see the barefooted, scantily-clothed, destitute shepherds competing in constructing lofty buildings.”

Then he went away. I stayed for a long time. Then he [the Prophet (peace be upon him)] said, “0 Umar, do you know who the questioner was?” I said, “Allah and His Messenger know best.” He said, “It was [the Angel] Gabriel who came to teach you your religion.” Recorded by Muslim.

Then it is a clinging object for a similar [period]. Thereafter, it is a lump looking like it has been chewed for a similar [period].

The angel is then sent to him and he breathes into him the spirit. He is also commanded to issue four decrees: to record his sustenance, his life span, his deeds and [whether he will be] unhappy [by entering Hell] or happy [by entering Paradise]. I swear by Allah, other than Whom there is no God, certainly, one of you will definitely perform the deeds of the people of Paradise until there is not between him and Paradise except an arm’s length and then what has been recorded will overtake him and he shall perform the deeds of the people of Hell and enter it. And, certainly, one of you will definitely perform the acts of the people of Hell until there is not between him and Hell except an arm’s length and then what has been recorded will overtake him and he shall perform the deeds of the people of Paradise and enter it.” [Recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim.]

Thus, he who avoids these doubtful matters certainly clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor. But he who falls into the doubtful matters falls into that which is unlawful like the shepherd who pastures around a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Verily every king has a sanctuary and Allah’s sanctuary is His prohibitions. In the body there is a morsel of flesh which, if it be sound, all the body is sound and which, if it be diseased, all of the body is diseased. This part of the body is the heart.”Recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

Eat of the good things that We have provided for you.”‘ Then he [the Prophet (peace be upon him)] mentioned a man who after a long journey is disheveled and dust-colored. “[The man] stretches his hands out toward the sky and says, ‘O Lord, O Lord,’ while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing unlawful and his nourishment is unlawful.

Know that if the nation were to gather together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you with anything except that which Allah has already recorded for you.

Prayer is a light. Charity is a proof. Patience is a brightness. The Quran is either an argument for or against you. And everyone goes out in the morning and sells himself, either freeing or destroying himself.” (Recorded by Muslim.)

Hadith 24: “O My Servants, I have Forbidden Wrongdoing”

On the authority of Abu Dharr al-Ghif aari, may Allah be pleased with him, from the Prophet (blessings of Allah and peace be upon him), from among the sayings he relates from his Lord (may He be glorified) that He said,
“O My servants, I have forbidden wrongdoing for Myself and I have made it forbidden for you. Therefore, do not wrong one another.
O My servants, all of you are lost except for those whom I have guided. Therefore, seek guidance from Me and I will guide you.
O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those whom I have fed. Therefore, seek food from Me and I will feed you.
O My servants, all of you are naked except for those whom I have clothed. Therefore, seek clothing from Me and I will clothe you.
O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins. Therefore, seek forgiveness from Me and I will forgive you.
O My servants, you will not be able to harm Me so as to bring any harm to Me, and you will not be able to benefit Me so as to bring any benefit to Me.
O My servants, if the first and last of you and the human and jinn of you were as pious as the most pious heart of anyone among you, it would not add anything to My dominion.
O My servants, if the first and last of you and the human and jinn of you were as wicked as the most wicked heart of anyone among you, it would not decrease anything from My dominion.
O My servants, if the first and last of you and the human and jinn of you were to gather together on [the same sector] of land and all asked of Me and if I were to give everyone of them what he asked, that would not decrease what I have any more than a needle decreases what is in the ocean when it is put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon for you. Then I recompense you for them. The one who finds good is to give praises to Allah. The one who finds other than this should not blame anyone but himself.” (Recorded by Muslim.)

On the authority of Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him): Some of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), “O Messenger of Allah, the affluent have made off with the rewards.

Verily, every tasbeehah is a charitable act, every takbeerah is a charitable act, every tahmeedah is a charitable act, every tahleelah is a charitable act, ordering good is a charitable act, forbidding evil is a charitable act, and you having sexual intercourse [with your wife] is a charitable act.” They said, “O Messenger of Allah, when one of us fulfills his desire, he will have a reward for that?” He said, “Tell me, if he were to fulfill it unlawfully, would he bear that sin? Similarly, if he fulfills it lawfully, he will have a reward.” (Recorded by Muslim)

Hadith 26: A Charitable Act Upon Every Bone

On the authority of Abu Huraira who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Every small bone of everyone has upon it a charitable act for every day upon which the sun rises. Bringing about justice between two is an act of charity. Helping a man get on his mount, lifting him onto it or helping him put his belongings on to it, is a charitable act. A good word is a charitable act. Every step you take toward the prayer is a charitable act. And removing a harmful thing from the path is a charitable act.” Recorded by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

We said, “O Messenger of Allah, it is as if it were a farewell admonition, so advise us.” He said, “I advise you to have taqwa of Allah and to listen and obey even if a slave is a leader over you. Certainly, the one who will live among you will see lots of differences. So stick to my sunnah and the sunnah of the right-principled and rightly-guided successors. Bite onto that with your molar teeth. And avoid newly-introduced matters. Verily, every heresy is a going astray.” Recorded by Abu Daawood and by al-Tirmidhi

Hadith 29: ” Tell me an act which…”

On the authoority of Muaadh ibn Jabal (May allah be pleased with him) who said, “O Messanger of Allah, inform me of an act which will place me into paradise and keep me away from the Fire.”
He said, “You have asked about a great matter but it is easy for whomever Allah, Exalted be He, makes it easy. [You should] worship Allah and not ascribe any partner to Him, establish the prayer, give the zakat, fast Ramadhan and make the pilgrimage to the House.”
He then said, “Shall I not inform you of the gates to goodness? [They are] fasting [which] is a shield, charity [which] extinguishes the sins like water extinguishes a fire and the prayer of a man in the depths of the night [which also extinguishes sins].”
Then he recited [the verses], “Who forsake their beds” until he reached, “they used to do.”
Then he said, “Shall I not inform you of the head of the matter, its pillar and its apex?” I said, “Certainly, O Prophet of Allah.” He said, “The head of the matter is submission [to Allah). Its pillar is the prayer. And its apex is jihad.”
Then he said, “Shall I not inform you of what controls all of this?” I said, “Certainly, O Prophet of Allah.” He took hold of his tongue and said, “Restrain this.” I said, “O Prophet of Allah, will we be held accountable for what we say?” He said, “May your mother be bereaved of you, O Muaadh. Is there anything that has people thrown on their faces– or he said on their noses-­ into the Fire except that which their tongues reap?” Recorded by al-Tirmidhi

Do not be envious of one another;
Do not artificially raise prices against one another;
Do not hate one another; do not turn one’s back on each other; and
Do not undercut one another in business transactions.
And be, [O] servants of Allah, brethren. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim. He does not wrong him. He does not fail him [when he needs him]. He does not lie to him. And he does not show contempt for him. Piety is here”– and he pointed to his chest three times. “It is enough of evil for a person to hold his brother Muslim in contempt.

Whoever alleviates [the situation ofj one in dire straits who cannot repay his debt, Allah will alleviate his lot in both this world and the Hereafter.
Whoever conceals [the faults of] a Muslim, Allah will conceal [his faults] in this life and the Hereafter. Allah is helping the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother.
Whoever follows a path in order to seek knowledge thereby, Allah will make easy for him, due to it, a path to Paradise. No people gather together in a house of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it among themselves, except that tranquillity is descended upon them, mercy covers them, the angels surround them and Allah makes mention of them to those in His presence.
Whoever is slowed by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage.” Recorded by Muslim

And when I love him, I am his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks.
