(161) Sayyidah Aisha (radi Allahu anha) reported that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "When a woman gives in charity some of the foodstuff (which she has in her house) without spoiling it, she will receive the reward for what she has spent, and her husband will receive the reward because of his earning, and the storekeeper will also have a reward similar to it. The reward of one will not decrease the reward of the others. “(Bukhari)

A HADITH A DAY KEEPS THE SHAITAAN AWAY 365 BLESSED SAYINGS OF THE HOLY PROPHET P-3

(82) Hazrat Abu Sa'id Al Khudri (radi Allahu anhu) reported: When you hear the call (to prayer), repeat what the Muazzin pronounces. (Muslim)

(83) Hazrat Sahl bin Sa’ad (radi Allahu anhu) reported, “I used to have my sehri meals with my family and then hurry up for presenting myself for the (Fajr) prayer with Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam).” (Bukhari)

(84) Hazrat Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, “Three types of people on the day of Qiyaamat will be seated on hills made from musk: 1. that servant who fulfilled the duties towards his master and his duties to Allah; 2. That person who was the Imam of a nation and they were pleased with him; 3. that person who called in a day and night the Azaans for the five Namaaz.” (Mishkaat)
(85) Hazrat Uqba bin Aamir (radi Allahu anhu) reports that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, “Your Allah is very pleased with that shepherd who stands at the top of a mountain and calls out the Azaan and then performs his Namaaz. Almighty Allah says (to the Angels). ‘Look at that servant of mine. He establishes Namaaz and fears me. Verily, I have forgiven him’”.

(86) Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (radi Allahu anhu) reports that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, “The greatness of the sound of the Muazzin can be heard by the jins, humans and Angels and all those who hear this will testify on his behalf on the last day.” (Mishkaat)
  
(87) Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar ibn A’as (radi Allahu anhu) reports that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) once whilst discussing Namaaz said, “One who protects his Namaaz, then this Namaaz will be a light, evidence and salvation for him in the hereafter and one who does not protect it, will not have any light, evidence or salvation and on the day of Qiyaamat he will be with Qaaroon, Firawn and Abi bin Khalf.” (Mishkaat) 

(88) Hazrat Umm-e-Habeeba (radi Allahu anha) reported that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, “That person who reads 12 rakaats in a day and night will have a house built for him in Jannat;  Four rakaats before Zuhr Namaaz and two Rakaats after Zuhr and two rakaats after Maghrib and two rakaats after Esha and two rakaats before Fajr.” (Mishkaat)

Note: This refers to the 12 rakaats of Sunnat-e-Mua’kadah in one day’s Namaaz.

(89) Hazrat Abdullah ibn Salaam reports, “When Nabi (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) arrived in Madinah, I came to him and when I saw his blessed face, looking at him carefully, I recongised that this was not the face of a false person. Then the first words which he (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said there were, ‘O People! Make the conveying of salaams common amongst you and feed the people and be kind towards your relatives and at night when all are asleep, then read your Namaaz. If you do this, then you will enter Jannat comfortably.” (Tirmizi – Ibn Majah)

Note: Here, the Namaaz being referred to is Tahajjud.

(90) It is on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said to Hazrat Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) at the time of Fajr Salaah, “O Bilal! Tell me, what is that Islamic deed that you have done which makes you feel hopeful, as I have heard the sound of your shoes in front of me in Jannat?” Hazrat Bilal (radi Allahu anhu) replied: “My most hopeful deed is that either during the day or night, whenever I make wudhu and with that wudhu I read whichever Namaaz is in my faith.” (Bukhari)

(91) Hazrat Jaabir bin Samura (radi Allahu anhu) reports that there was a young person who used to be present in the court of Rasoolullah (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) and would always lend a hand in serving the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam). Once, the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said to him, “Ask me for something which you need fulfilled?” He said, “Pray to Allah for me that I may get Jannat.” On hearing this, the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) raised his head, and then took one deep breath and said, “I will, but only on this condition, that you make Sajdah in abundance.” (Kanzul Umaal)

Note: The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) asked him to read Nafl Salaah in abundance.

(92) Hazrat Jaabir (radi Allahu anhu) reports that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, “That person who has these three things in him will be granted a place under the shade of Allah’s Arsh (Throne) on the day on which there will be no shade except this. He, who makes wudhu even when it is difficult, goes by foot to the Musjid even in the dark and feeds the hungry. (Mishkaat)

(93) Hazrat Abdullah ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhu) reports that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "One who performs his morning prayer, remains in the care of Allah until evening." (Tibrani)

(94) It is on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah and Hazrat Ibn Umar (radi Allahu anhum) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "If the people do not abstain from staying away from Jummah Salaah, Allah will place a seal on their hearts and they will become from amongst those who are neglectful (of their duties to Allah)." (Muslim)

(95) The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "One who climbs over the necks (shoulders) of people on Friday (in the Musjid), has built a bridge to hell for himself."(Tirmizi)

Note: This Hadith shows that we should not walk over peoples necks when in the Musjid on Fridays so that we can get to the front. At the same time it must be noted that when going to Musjid, we should sit in the front, so that those who come after do not have to climb over us.

RAMADAAN & FASTING
 
(96) The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "Allah does not need that person to fast, who is vulgar and obscene whilst fasting." (Bukhari)

(97) It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) was the most generous amongst all the people and his generosity was most evident in the month of Ramadaan, at the time when he used to meet with Jibraeel alaihis salaam, and he would meet with Jibraeel (alaihis salaam) on every night of Ramadaan and recite the Quran. When the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) used to meet with Jibraeel (alaihis salaam), he used to be even more generous than excessive wind.” (Bukhari)

(98) The Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "If any one of you is fasting, then he should not say any thing bad and one must avoid bickering. If someone swears at you and hits you, just say, I am fasting” (Bukhari)

(99) The Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "(Ramadaan) is a month of Sabr (Patience) and the reward for patience is Jannat. This is also a month of showing kindess to one another." (Mishkaat Shareef)

(100) The Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "The past sins of one who has kept the fast of Ramadaan with Imaan and with sincerity have been forgiven and the one who spent the nights of Ramadaan in Ibaadat with Imaan and sincerity, will have all his past sins forgiven." (Mishkaat Shareef)

(101) "It is on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said,” If a person (Muslim) keeps fast for one day solely for the pleasure of Allah, then Almighty Allah will keep him such a vast distance away from hell, as if he started to fly from childhood until he became old. (In other words, this is how far away he would be kept from Jahanum, the distance covered in flying for all his life) (Baihaqi)

(102) "It is on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said,” A person who misses the fast of Ramadaan without any valid reason of Shariat or not due to illness, can keep fast for the entire year, but he will not attain the sawaab (reward of Ramadaan)." (Ibn Majah) 

(103) "It is on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said, "Our deeds are presented (to Allah) on a Monday and Thursday. Thus, I want my deeds to be presented to Allah whilst I am fasting." (Tirmizi Shareef) 

(104) It is on the authority of Hazrat Umar (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said, "If a person spends the 27th night of Ramadaan in Ibaadat until morning, then this action is loved more than the Ibaadat in all the other nights of Ramadaan." Bibi Faatima (radi Allahu anha) asked, "O My Beloved Father, What about those old and weak men and women who do not have the ability to stand up during the night (in Ibaadat)?" The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "Can they not use a pillow to support themselves?" (Mukashifatul Quloob)

(105) It is in Baihaqi that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) is reported to have said,” This month of Ramadaan is a month of great excellence, the beginning of which is Mercy, the middle is for forgiveness and the end is for protection from hell."(Baihaqi)

(106) The Beloved Rasool (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said,  “My Ummat has been blessed with five things in the month of Ramadaan, which has not been given to any Ummat before them; The odour from the mouth of a fasting person is more precious to Allah than the scent of musk, The Angels make dua for them until Iftaar, The Shaitaans are imprisoned in this month, Allah adorns Jannat daily and says, 'Soon my pious servants will enter in here and all their discomforts and hardships will be removed, and in the last night of this month, Allah forgives them. It was asked to the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) whether this referred to lailatul Qadr and he said no, but when the worker completes his work, he receives his reward." (Mukashifatul Quloob)

(107) The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "If only the people knew the true merits of Ramadaan, they would wish for the entire year to be Ramadaan."
Hazrat Umar bin Al-Khattab (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "When night falls from this side and the day vanishes from this side and the sun sets, then the fasting person should break his fast." (Bukhari) 

(108) It is on the authority of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "When the month of Ramadan starts, the gates of the heaven are opened and the gates of hell are closed and the devils are chained."(Bukhari)

(109) Hazrat Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "Allah said, 'all the deeds of Hazrat Adam's (alaihis salaam) children (nation) are for them, except fasting which is for Me, and I will give the reward for it.' Fasting is a shield or protection from the fire and from committing sins. If one of you is fasting, he should avoid sexual relation with his wife and quarreling, and if somebody should fight or quarrel with him, he should say, 'I am fasting.' By Him in Whose Control my soul is' the smell coming out from the mouth of a fasting person is better in the sight of Allah than the smell of musk. There are two pleasures for the fasting person, one at the time of breaking his fast, and the other at the time when he will meet his Rubb; then he will be pleased because of his fasting." (Bukhari)
(110) Hazrat Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) says, I heard the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) saying, “Whoever prayed at night in it (the month of Ramadan) out of sincere Faith and hoping for a reward from Allah, then all his previous sins will be forgiven." (Bukhari)

(111) It is on the authority of Hazrat Sahl (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "There is a gate in Paradise called Ar-Raiyan, and those who observe fasts will enter through it on the Day of Resurrection and none except them will enter through it. It will be said, 'Where are those who used to observe fasts?' They will get up, and none except them will enter through it. After their entry the gate will be closed and nobody will enter through it." (Bukhari) 

(112) It is on the authority of Hazrat Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam)is reported to have said, "When Ramadan begins, the gates of Paradise are opened." (Bukhari) 

(113) Hazrat Abu Huraira (radi Allahu anhu) reported the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) as saying, "If somebody eats or drinks forgetfully then he should complete his fast, for what he has eaten or drunk, has been given to him by Allah." (Bukhari)

(114) Sayyida Aisha (radi Allahu anha) reported that Hamza bin 'Amr Al-Aslami (radi Allahu anhu) asked the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam), "Should I fast while traveling (whilst I am a musaafir)?" The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) replied, "You may fast if you wish, and you may not fast if you wish." (Bukhari) 

(115) Hazrat Aisha (radi Allahu anha) reported that the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "Whoever died and he ought to have kept fast (for the missed days of Ramadan) then his guardians may fast on his behalf." (Bukhari)

(116) Hazrat Abdullah ibn Amr bin Al 'As (radi Allahu anhu) reported that the Holy Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, to me, "You fast daily all the year and pray every night all the night?" I replied in the affirmative. The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "If you keep on doing this, your eyes will become weak and your body will get tired. He who fasts all the year is as he who did not fast at all. The fasting of three days (a month) will be equal to the fasting of the whole year." I replied, "I have the power for more than this." The Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) said, "Then fast like the fasting of Dawood (alaihis salaam) who used to fast on alternate days and would never flee from the battle field, on meeting the enemy. (Bukhari) 

(117) Hazrat Ibn Abbas (radi Allahu anhu) said, “I never saw the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) seeking to fast on a day more (preferable to him) than this day, the day of 'Ashura', or this month, i.e. the month of Ramadan.” (Bukhari)
(118) Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu) reported the Prophet (sall Allaho alaihi wasallam) as saying, "Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not to show off) will have all his past sins forgiven." (Bukhari)
