Parable of the believer

Abdur Rahman ibn Azhar رحمه الله تعالى reported: Rasulullah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said,

“Verily the parable of the believer, when he is afflicted by illness or fever, is only that of a piece of iron placed in the fire; its defects vanish and its goodness remains.”

(As Sunanul Kubra, vol. 3 pg. 374)

The Emigrant

Anas ibn Malik Radhiyallahu Anhu reported: Rasulullah ﷺ,

 "The emigrant is one who emigrates away from evil. By the one in whose hand is my soul, a servant will not enter Paradise if his neighbour is not secure from his harm.”

 [Ibn Hibbaan]

Salaah after Asr & Fajr

"حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبَانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي الْعَالِيَةِ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ شَهِدَ عِنْدِي رِجَالٌ مَرْضِيُّونَ مِنْهُمْ عُمَرُ وَأَرْضَاهُمْ عِنْدِي عُمَرُ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ كَانَ يَقُولُ لَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الْعَصْرِ حَتَّى تَغْرُبَ الشَّمْسُ وَلَا صَلَاةَ بَعْدَ صَلَاةِ الصُّبْحِ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ‏.‏" 

  

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: 

Some men of good character, among whom was ‘Umar, testified before me, and the best of them in my view was ‘Umar, that the Prophet (ﷺ) of Allah ﷺ used to say: `There is no prayer after 'Asr prayer until the sun sets, and there is no prayer after Fajr prayer until the sun rises.`

House in Paradise

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عُلَيَّةَ، حَدَّثَنَا دَاوُدُ بْنُ أَبِي هِنْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي النُّعْمَانُ بْنُ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ أَوْسٍ، عَنْ عَنْبَسَةَ بْنِ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، عَنْ أُمِّ حَبِيبَةَ، قَالَتْ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ مَنْ صَلَّى فِي يَوْمٍ ثِنْتَىْ عَشْرَةَ رَكْعَةً تَطَوُّعًا بُنِيَ لَهُ بِهِنَّ بَيْتٌ فِي الْجَنَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ 

  

Narrated Umm Habibah: 

The Prophet (ﷺ) as saying: If anyone prays in a day and a night twelve rak'ahs voluntarily (supererogatory prayer), a house will be built for him in Paradise on account of these (rak'ahs). 

Sunan Abi Dawud

Best of Daughters

Sayyidah ‘Aa’ishah رضي الله عنها reported that the Prophet (ﷺ)  said about (His daughter) Sayyidah Zaynab رضي الله عنها:

She is the best of my daughters, she was hurt for my sake.

(Mustadrak)

Allah's Forgiveness

Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub Ansari رضي الله عنه reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said:

‘By that being in whose control lies my soul, if you did not sin, Allah [Ta’ala] would have replaced you and brought a nation that would sin and then seek forgiveness from Allah. He would then forgive them.’

(Sahih Muslim 2749)

`The ‘Ulama have explained that this Hadith should not be understood as an encouragement to sin. Instead, it highlights Allah Ta’ala’s mercy and forgiveness. This Hadith should be viewed as an encouragement for wrongdoers who have sinned, to repent and make tawbah.`

`Just as Allah Ta’ala loves showing kindness to those who do good, He also loves forgiving those who have done wrong.
