Hadrat Abu Haurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said: O Abu Hurairah! When you perform ablution, say Bismillah -Wal- Hamdo Lillah (The result would be that) so long as this ablution would continue (i.e. one would remain in a state of purity), the Kiramun Katibeen (recording angles) would continue to write good deeds in his name. [Mu’jim Sagir - Tabarani, Ma’rif -ul- Hadis]
The intention is that the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) also used to purify himself with water after using the mud etc. after that he would first rub his hands on the ground and wash them and then perform WUDU (ablution). As is clear from this tradition that it was usual with the Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he would perform WUDU (ablution) after answering a call of nature and doing ISTINJA. But in order to indicate that performing WUDU (ablution) is only a commendable and excellent practice he has occasionally omitted it, as is related in Sunan Abu Dawud and Sunan Ibn MAJAH on the basis of the following traditions from Hadrat Aishah.
It has been reported from the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he said,
“I am leaving behind you such a thing that if you hold it fast, you would not go astray. One is the Book of ALLAH (QURAAN -e- Majid) and the other is Sunnah i.e. Traditions”.
[Bahishti Zewar]
It has been reported in traditions that knowledgeshould be acquired on Monday. This facilitates the acquisition of it. Same is mentioned about Thursday while in some traditions Wednesday appears. The learned author of Hidayah used to commence a book on Wednesday and used to say that whatever is begun on Wednesday renders its completion.” [Sharah Talmul Muta’ -alum, Bahishti Zewar]
It has been reported from the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that he said, “Whoever transmits forty of my traditions to my Ummah, I shall make special recommendations for him”. [Jame Khabre]
Hadrat Abu Hurairah (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated the Messenger of ALLAH as saying, “There should be no taking of omens, but the best type is the good omen” He was asked what a good omen was and replied, “A good word which one of you hears from anyone or from any source.” [Bukhari, Muslim, Mishkat]
Urwa – bin ‘Amir (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that when he mentioned about taking omens to the Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) he replied, “The best type is the good omen, and a Muslim is not turned back from anything because of an omen. When anyone of you sees anything which he dislikes i.e. omen, he should say,
Hadrat Abu Ayyub Ansari (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that a man came to the Messenger of ALLAH and requested him for some advice but that it should be brief (so that it may be easy for him to remember it). He said,
(Firstly) when you stand up for Salaah then say the Salaah just like a person who is about to bid farewell to everything and to say Good Bye to everybody (i.e. the Salaah should be like that of a person who is about to breathe his last). You should say every Salaah in the same manner,
It has been reported from the Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) that a time is to come for my Ummah when other nations will, taking (you) as a delicious morsel, rush open you just as people do on dining tables. “Someone asked, O Messenger of ALLAH! Shall our number be reduced at that time to such an extent that in order to devour us, other nations will unite and rush upon us?” The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, “At that time your number will not be little but you will be weightless like straw floating on flood (water) and that your awe will get out of the hearts of your enemy and cowardice and low spirits will find a place in your hearts”. On this a person enquired “What will be the cause of this cowardice (finding a place in the hearts?) The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) replied, “Because you will start loving the world and will flee from death and will hate it”. [Abu Daud, Ma’arif-ul-Hadis]
The Holy Prophet (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam), one day delivered an address and in this address he praised some Muslims. Then he said, “How is that some people do not help their neighbors, in developing and understanding of religion and do not teach them religion and do not apprise them of the admonitory aspect of remaining ignorant of religion and do not restrain them from evil doings and how is that, that people do not learn religion from their neighbors and do not develop an understanding of religion and do not ascertain the consequences of remaining ignorant of religion. I swear by ALLAH, it is incumbent on people (Muslims) to impart religion reaching to their neighbors, to develop understanding of religion in them, to tender advice to them and to tell them good things. Even the people (Muslims) should necessarily learn religion from their neighbors, should develop an understanding of religion and should follow their counsels. [Tibrani, Ma’ariful Hadis]
Hadrat Amr-bin-al-as (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated: The Messenger of ALLAH (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) delivered a sermon one day. In it he said, “Listen and remember that this world is temporary and momentary deal which is ready and available for the time being (it has no real worth or value). So everyone, good or bad, has a share in it and all are fed by it. Believe it firmly that the Day of Reckoning will come at its appointed time. This is an inevitable fact and on this day the Almighty Sovereign will decree reward or punishment to all (according to their deeds).
Hadrat Anas (Radi Allaahu Ta’ala Anhu) narrated that the Messenger of ALLAH said, there are three qualities and whosoever possesses them, will be favored with the sweetness of Eeman. One who holds ALLAH and his Messenger dearer than any thing else (i.e. who does not love anybody or anything more than ALLAH and his Messenger). One who loves a human being for the sake of ALLAH alone (i.e without any expectation of any worldly gain – but on this consideration alone that he is a godly person). One who has been rescued from Kufr (whether from the very beginning or through repentance) and after that he dislikes returning to Kufr as much as being cast into Hell. [Bukhari, Muslim, Hayat-ul-Muslimeen]
