The Believer

Abdullah (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.W) said: "The believer does not insult the honor of others, nor curse, nor commit Fahishah, nor is he foul." [Jami' At-Tirmidhi, Hadeeth No.1977 (Hasan)]

Wealth

Ka'b bin Iyad (RA) narrated that the Prophet (S.A.W.W) said: "Indeed there is a Fitnah for every Ummah, and the Fitnah for my Ummah is wealth." [Jami' At-Tirmidhi, Book of Zuhd, Hadeeth No.2336]

Survival on a Date a Day

It was narrated that Jabir bin Abdullah (radi Allahu anhu) said: "The Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) sent us, three hundred men, carrying our provisions on our necks. Our provisions ran out until there would be for (every) man among us one date (a day)." Then it was said, "O Abu Abdullah, how can one date satisfy a man?" He replied, "When we no longer had it, we realized how much it was worth. Then we came to the sea and found a whale that had been thrown up by the sea, and we ate from it for eighteen days." [Ibn Majah - graded sahih] This hadith shows to us the devotion with which the Prophet's Sahabah (radi Allahu anhum) carried out Jihad. They continued in all circumstances, even when they did not have mounts to ride, or food to eat.  The second thing that we learn from this hadith is that dead fish are lawful to eat. Fish do not have to be slaughtered while alive, as some deviant sects believe. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa s...

Rightly Guided Khilafat

“Anas (radi Allahu anhu) narrated that the people of Banu Mustaliq sent him to the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) to ascertain to whom they should pay Zakat after him. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, ‘Pay to Abu Bakr.’ Anas (radi Allahu anhu) told them what the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) had said. They again sent him to enquire as to whom they should pay the Zakat to if something happened to Abu Bakr. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, ‘Then pay to Umar.’ When Anas (radi Allahu anhu) informed them, they again sent him back to the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) to find out whom they should pay Zakat to after Umar. The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said, ‘Then pay to Uthman.’ Anas (radi Allahu anhu) conveyed the reply of the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam). They once more sent him to the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) to ask whom they should pay Zakat to if something happened to Uthman. The Prophet (sal Allahu al...

No Prophet After Me

Thawban (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.W) said: "The Hour shall not be established until tribes of my Ummah unite with the idolaters, and until they worship idols. And indeed there shall be thirty imposters in my Ummah, each of them claiming that he is a Prophet. And I am the last of the Prophets, there is no Prophet after me." [Jami At-Tirmidhi, Book of Tribulations, Hadeeth No.2219 (Saheeh)]

Traveling at Night, Alone

It was narrated from Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said: "If anyone of you knew what was wrong with being alone, no one would travel at night by himself." [Sahih Bukhari] In Allah's Infinite Mercy, He warned us through the Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam) about those things that are beyond our senses to perceive. To protect us we have been warned, men and women, against traveling alone, especially at night.

Complete Faith

Narrated Abdullah bin Hisham (RA): We were with the Prophet (S.A.W.W) and he was holding the hand of Umar bin Al-Khattab (RA). Umar (RA) said to Him, "O Allah's Messenger (S.A.W.W)! You are dearer to me than everything except my own self." The Prophet (S.A.W.W) said, "No, by Him in Whose Hand my soul is, (you will not have complete faith) till I am dearer to you than your own self." Then Umar (RA) said to him, "However, now, by Allah, you are dearer to me than my own self." The Prophet (S.A.W.W) said, "Now, O Umar, (now you are a believer). [Saheeh Al-Bukhari, Book of Oaths and Vows, Hadeeth No.6632]
