Lies

Sayyiduna Abdullah Ibn Amir رضي الله عنه narrates:

My mother called me one day when the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was sitting in our house. She said: Come here and I shall give you something.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) asked her: What did you intend to give him?

She replied: I intended to give him some dates.

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: If you were not to give him anything, a lie would be recorded against you.

(Abu Dawud 4991)

Saying Salam

Sayyiduna Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه narrates: Nabee ﷺ said:

‘When one of you meets his brother he should greet him, if a tree, wall or rock comes in between them and they meet again, then they should greet once again’.

(Sunan Abi Dawud, Hadith: 5158)

More Radiant than the full moon

Sayyiduna Jabir ibn Samura رضي الله عنه says:

“I once saw the messenger of Allah (ﷺ)  on the night of a full moon. On that night he wore red (striped) clothing. At times I looked at the full moon and at times at the messenger of Allah (ﷺ). Ultimately I came to the conclusion that the messenger of Allah (ﷺ)  was more handsome, beautiful and more radiant than the full moon.”

(Tirmidhi 2811)

Our faults

Our enemies are our greatest moral teachers, becuase they thrust our faults in our faces.

competing for wealth

Sayyiduna Amr ibn Awf رضي الله عنه reported: Nabee صلى الله عليه وسلم said:

“By Allah, it is not poverty I fear for you, but rather I fear you will be given the wealth of the world just as it was given to those before you. You will compete for it just as they competed for it and it will destroy you just as it destroyed them.”

(Sahih Al Bukhari & Sahih Muslim)
