Finding Fault

Sayyiduna Anas رضي الله عنه says:

"I served the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for nine (some narrations 10) years, and I do not know (of any instance) when he (ﷺ)  said to me: Why  have you done this or that, and he never found fault with me in anything." 

(Muslim) 

True Contentment of the Heart

Sayyiduna Abu Dharr رضي الله عنه reports that Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

“O Abu Dharr, Do you regard excess wealth to be richness?’ 

I said, ‘Yes’, 

to which he replied, ‘And you regard less wealth to be poverty?’

I said ‘Yes, O Rasulullah!’

He said, ‘That is not the case. [True] wealth is contentment of the heart and [true] poverty is poverty of the heart.'”

(As Sunanul Kubra of Imam Nasai)

Dua for Brothers & Sisters

Sayyiduna Abu Darda رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

No Muslim servant supplicates for his brother behind his back but that the angel says: And for you the same.

(Sahih Muslim 2732)

It is said that the righteous predecessors, if they wanted to supplicate for themselves, they would supplicate for their Muslim brother. By this supplication, the angels would supplicate for them in the same way and it would be more likely to be answered.

Speaking ill of the dead

Sayyiduna Mughirah ibn Shu’bah رضي الله عنه narrates:

Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“Do not speak ill of the dead thereby causing harm to the living [i.e the relatives of the deceased].”

(Sunan Tirmidhi)

Dealing with Anger

Sayyiduna Abu Dhar رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said to us,

“If one of you is angry when he is standing, let him sit down so that the anger will leave him. Otherwise, let him lie down.”

(Sunan Abī Dāwūd 4782)

Dua when you become angry

Expect good from Allah

Hayyan Abi al-Nadrah reported: I went out to visit Yazid ibn al-Aswad as he was suffering a fatal illness, and I met Wathilah ibn al-Asqa’ رضي الله عنه who also wanted to visit him. We entered Yazid’s home and Wathilah رضى الله عنه said, “What do you expect from Allah?” Yazid said, “By Allah, I expect good from Allah.”

Sayyiduna Wathilah رضي الله عنه said:

Rejoice! For I heard the Messenger of Allah  صلى الله عليه وسلم say that Allah Almighty said:_

I am as my servant expects me. If he expects good, he will have it. If he expects evil, he will have it.

(Sahih Ibn Hibban 641)

Fear Allah

Sayyiduna Abdullah ibn Mas’ud رضي الله عنه narrates:

Nabi صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“The most hated speech to Allah is when a man says to another man, ‘Fear Allah!’ And he replies, ‘Worry about your own self!”

(Amalul Yawmi Wal Laylah, As Sunanul Kubra) 

Qiyamah

Sayyiduna Anas ibn Malik رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said,

“The Hour/Qiyamah will not be established until time passes rapidly, such that a year is like a month, a month is like a week, a week is like a day, a day is like an hour, and an hour is like the flicker of a flame.”

(Sunan al-Tirmidhi 2332)
