إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَأَى رَجُلًا يَدْعُو فِي صَلَاتِهِ لَمْ يَحْمَدِ اللهَ وَلَمْ يُصَلِّ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ، ﷺ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ: عَجِلَ هَذَا فَدَعَاهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَلِغَيْرِهِ: " إِذَا صَلَّى أَحَدُكُمْ فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِحَمْدِ اللهِ وَالثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ لِيَدْعُ بِمَا شَاءَ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw a man supplicating in his prayer without praising Allah and without sending blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "This one has been hasty." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ called him and said to him and to others: "When any of you prays, let him begin with praising Allah and extolling Him, then let him supplicate for whatever he wishes."

ثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُمْ: رَجُلٌ فَارَقَ الْجَمَاعَةَ وَعَصَى إِمَامَهُ وَمَاتَ عَاصِيًا، وَأَمَةٌ أَوْ عَبْدٌ أَبَقَ مِنْ سَيِّدِهِ فَمَاتَ، وَامْرَأَةٌ غَابَ عَنْهَا زَوْجُهَا وَقَدْ كَفَاهَا أَمْرَ الدُّنْيَا فَتَبَرَّجَتْ بَعْدَهُ، وَثَلَاثَةٌ لَا تَسْأَلْ عَنْهُمْ: رَجُلٌ نَازَعَ اللهَ رِدَاءَهُ، فَإِنَّ رِدَاءَهُ الْكِبْرُ، وَإِزَارَهُ الْعِزَّةُ، وَرَجُلٌ كَانَ فِي شَكٍّ مِنْ أَمْرِ اللهِ، وَالْقَنُوطُ مِنْ رَحْمَةِ اللهِ
✧ There are three about whom you should not ask: a man who separated from the community and disobeyed his leader and died disobedient; a female slave or a male slave who fled from his master and died; and a woman whose husband was absent while he had provided for her worldly needs, and she displayed her adornment after him. And three about whom you should not ask: a man who contended with Allah for His cloak, for His cloak is pride and His lower garment is might; a man who was in doubt about Allah's command; and the one who despairs of Allah's mercy.

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " إِذَا صَلَّى بِالنَّاسِ يَخِرُّ رِجَالٌ مِنْ قَامَتِهِمْ فِي الصَّلَاةِ لِمَا بِهِمْ مِنَ الْخَصَاصَةِ وَهُمْ أَصْحَابُ الصُّفَّةِ حَتَّى تَقُولَ الْأَعْرَابُ: إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ مَجَانِينُ، فَإِذَا قَضَى رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الصَّلَاةَ انْصَرَفَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: لَوْ تَعْلَمُونَ مَا أَعْلَمُ لَكُمْ عِنْدَ اللهِ لَأَحْبَبْتُمْ لَوْ أَنَّكُمْ تَزْدَادُونَ فَاقَةً وَحَاجَةً فَقَالَ فَضَالَةُ: وَأَنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ يَوْمَئِذٍ
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, when he prayed with the people, men would fall down from their standing in prayer because of the severe hunger that afflicted them, and they were the people of the Suffah, until the Bedouins would say: "These are madmen." When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the prayer, the Prophet ﷺ turned and said: "If you knew what I know of what you have with Allah, you would love to increase in poverty and need." Fadalah said: "And I was with the Messenger of Allah that day."

أَنَّهُ قَالَ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ: هَذَا يَوْمٌ حَرَامٌ، وَبَلَدٌ حَرَامٌ، فَدِمَاؤُكُمْ وَأَمْوَالُكُمْ وَأَعْرَاضُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَرَامٌ مِثْلُ هَذَا الْيَوْمِ وَهَذِهِ الْبَلْدَةِ إِلَى يَوْمِ تَلْقَوْنَهُ، وَحَتَّى دَفْعَةٍ دَفَعَهَا مُسْلِمٌ مُسْلِمًا يُرِيدُ بِهَا سُوءًا حَرَامًا، وَسَأُخْبِرُكُمْ مَنِ الْمُسْلِمُ، مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ، وَالْمُؤْمِنُ مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَمْوَالِهِمْ وَأَنْفُسِهِمْ، وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ الْخَطَايَا وَالذُّنُوبَ، وَالْمُجَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ فِي طَاعَةِ اللهِ
✧ That he said during the Farewell Pilgrimage: "This is a sacred day, and a sacred land, so your blood, your wealth, and your honor are sacred to you like this day and this land until the day you meet Him, and even a push that a Muslim gives to a Muslim intending harm by it is sacred. I shall tell you who the Muslim is: the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the believer is the one whom people trust with their wealth and their lives, and the emigrant is the one who abandons sins and transgressions, and the mujahid is the one who strives against his own self in obedience to Allah."

كُلُّ مَيِّتٍ يُخْتَمُ عَلَى عَمَلِهِ إِلَّا الْمُرَابِطَ فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ فَإِنَّهُ يُنْمَى لَهُ عَمَلُهُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ وَيُؤَمَّنُ مِنْ فَتَّانِ الْقَبْرِ

أَنَا زَعِيمٌ وَالزَّعِيمُ الْحَمِيلُ لِمَنْ آمَنَ بِي وَأَسْلَمَ وَهَاجَرَ بِبَيْتٍ فِي رَبَضِ الْجَنَّةِ وَبِبَيْتٍ فِي أَعْلَى الْجَنَّةِ، فَمَنْ فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ فَلَمْ يَدَعْ لِلْخَيْرِ مَطْلَبًا، وَلَا مِنَ الشَّرِّ مَهْرَبًا يَمُوتُ حَيْثُ شَاءَ أَنْ يَمُوتَ ".
✧ I am a guarantor, and the guarantor is the one who bears responsibility, for whoever believes in Me, submits, and emigrates, I guarantee a house in the outskirts of Paradise and a house in the highest part of Paradise. Whoever does that and leaves no avenue of good unfulfilled and no escape from evil, let him die wherever he wishes to die."

مَنْ شَابَ شَيْبَةً فِي الْإِسْلَامِ كَانَتْ لَهُ نُورًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ: فَإِنَّ رِجَالًا يَنْتِفُونَ الشَّيْبَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: " مَنْ شَاءَ فَلْيَنْتِفْ نُورَهُ
✧ Whoever grows a gray hair in Islam, it will be a light for him on the Day of Resurrection." A man said to him at that point: "But some men pluck out gray hairs." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever wishes, let him pluck out his light."

✧ We were with Fadalah b. Ubayd at sea, and a necklace containing unrefined gold and pearls, or gems, fell to me and my companions. They said: "Buy it from us, and we will give you a good price." I said: "Not until I ask Fadalah b. Ubayd." So I went to Fadalah and asked him. Fadalah said: "I bought a necklace on the day of Khaybar containing unrefined gold and gems for seven or nine dinars, and I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about it. He said to me: 'Separate it: remove the gems, and buy the unrefined gold with unrefined gold, like for like.'"

غَزَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ غَزْوَةَ تَبُوكَ قَالَ: فَجُهِدَ الظَّهْرُ جَهْدًا شَدِيدًا قَالَ: فَشُكِيَ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ قَالَ: وَرَآهُمْ رِجَالًا قَالَ: فَنَظَرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ مَضِيقِ النَّاسِ فِيهِ فَوَقَفَ عَلَيْهِ وَالنَّاسُ يَمُرُّونَ قَالَ: فَنَفَخَ فِيهَا، ثُمَّ قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ عَلَيْهَا فِي سَبِيلِكَ فَإِنَّكَ تَحْمِلُ عَلَى الْقَوِيِّ وَالضَّعِيفِ وَعَلَى الرَّطْبِ وَالْيَابِسِ فِي الْبَرِّ وَالْبَحْرِ " قَالَ: فَاسْتَمَرَّتْ مِنْ طِلَاعِهَا قَالَ: فَمَا دَخَلْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ إِلَّا وَهِيَ تُنَازِعُنَا أَزِمَّتَهَا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ went on the expedition of Tabuk. He said: "The mounts became extremely exhausted." He said: "That was complained about to him." He said: "And he saw them as men." He said: "The Messenger of Allah ﷺ looked from the narrow pass where the people were crowded, and he stood there while the people were passing by." He said: "Then he blew upon them, then said: 'O Allah, make them a means of carrying in Your path, for You carry upon the strong and the weak, and upon the moist and the dry, on land and sea.'" He said: "And they went on from their setting out." He said: "We did not enter Madinah except while they were vying with us for their reins."
