Salman (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) has narrated:
“I asked the Apostle of ALLAAH which are the forty traditions about which you have said: ‘Whoever memorised them shall enter Paradise.” He replied, ‘They are:
BELIEFS
That you believe:
In ALLAAH;
In the Last Day;
In the Angels;
In the Books
In the Prophets
In being raised after death:
In the absolute decree and predestination’s of good and evil by ALLAAH;
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said:
“May Allah, the Most High, keep him happy and prosperous who hears my words, commits them to memory and transmits them to others, for there are many who have knowledge of FIQAH (Islamic law) but are not themselves FAQIHA (well versed in Islamic law) and there are those who possess religious knowledge and are able to transmit it to others who have better understanding of religion then they have.”
[Tirmizi, Abu Daud, Ma’ariful Hadis]
1. It is reported that Hadrat Abu Bakr Siddiq (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) said:
“I heard the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) say, “Pray for faith and peace, for next to faith there is nothing better with which one has been favoured than peace”.
In this tradition the Holy Prophet has classed peace in this world together with peace in the next. It is a fact that a man’s affairs in the two worlds cannot be set right without faith and peace, since faith helps in averting punishment in the Hereafter, and peace liberates the mind and body from disease.
Lastly, as a gesture of special love for this greatest
benefactor of mankind (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) the following verse was
revealed:
Verily ALLAAH and His angels send their benedictions upon
the Prophet. O ye who believe! Send your benedictions upon him and salute him
with a goodly salutation 33/56
O ALLAH! Send Your blessing on Muhammad, and his posterity
just as You sent Your blessings on Ibrahim and on his posterity. Undoubtedly
You are praiseworthy and exalted.
O ALLAH! glorify Muhammad and his descendants just as You
glorified Ibrahim and his descendants. Undoubtedly, You are praiseworthy and
exalted.
The proclamation of Divine favours to the humanity was made
through the good offices of the last of the prophets (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa
Sallam) in the following verse:
Today I have perfected for you your religion, and have
completed My favour upon you, and am well pleased with Islam as your religion.
5/3
In the face of constant opposition, harassment and hostility from the numerous enemies of Islam, the Noble Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) was able to achieve, in a brief span of time, unparalleled and lasting success in his prophetic mission. Consequently, ALLAAH the Most High favoured His beloved and last of all the prophets with the following testimony of his pleasure:
When there cometh the succor of ALLAAH and the victory. And thou beholdest mankind entering the religion of ALLAAH in crowds. Then hallow the praise of thy Lord, and ask forgiveness of Him. Verily He is ever Relenting. 110/ 1-3
And ALLAAH hath sent down unto thee the Book and wisdom, and hath taught thee that which thou knowest not; and the grace of ALLAAH on thee is ever might. 4/113
And assuredly We have vouchsafed unto thee seven of the repetitions and the mighty QURAAN. 15/87
And presently thy Lord shall give unto thee so that thou shalt be well-pleased. 93/5
And we have upraised for thee thy renown. 94/4.
