Hadeeths of The Messenger (PBUH)
On
authority of Sufian bin Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him said: p I said:
"O Messenger of Allah, tell me something about Islam which I can ask of no
one but you". He said:" Say:'I believe in Allah', and thereafter be
upright." p related by Muslim.
Hadeeth 26
On
the authority of Muadh bin Jabal, who said: p I said: "O Messenger of
Allah, tell me of an act which will take me into Paradise and will keep me away
from Hell fire." He said: "You have asked me about a major matter,
yet it is easy for him for whom Allah Almighty makes it easy. You
should worship Allah, associating nothing with Him, you should perform the
prayers, you should pay the zakat, you should fast in Ramadan, and you should
make the pilgrimage to the House." Then he said:" Shall I not show
you the gates of goodness ? Fasting [which] is a shield, charity [which]
extigueshes sin as water extebgueshes fire; and the praying of a man in the
deapth of night." Then he recited : "Who forsake their beds to
cry unto their Lord in fear and hope, and spend of that We have bestowed on
them. No soul knoweth what is kept hid for them of joy, as a reward for what
they used to do". (quran, verse) Then he said: " Shall
I not tell you of the peak of the matter, its pillar, and its topmost
part?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said: "The
peak of the matter is Islam; the pillar is prayer; and its topmost part is jihad."
Then he said: "Shall I not tell you of the controling of all that ?"
I said:"Yes, O Messenger of Allah", and he took hold of his tongue
and said: "Restrain this." I said: "O Prophet of Allah, will
what we say be held against us ?" He said: "May your mother be bereaved
of you, Muadh ! Is there anything that topples people on their faces - or he
said on their noses into Hell-fire other than the jests of their tongues
?" p related by Al-Tirmithi, who said it was a fine and true hadlth.
