Some Selected Hadiths of  Prophet Muhammad

Spending

Do not consider any act of kindness insignificant, even meeting your brother with a cheerful face. (Muslim).

Insolvency and Respite

He who grants a respite to one who is in straightened circumstances or who remits his debt, will be saved by Allah from the anxieties of the Day of Resurrection.(Muslim)

Rights of Wives

Among the believers who show most perfect faith are those who have best disposition and are kindest to their families. (Tirmidhi)



Retaliation

Shedding of blood will be the first matter about which judgement will be given on the Day of Resurrection.
(Bukhari, Muslim)

If anyone kills a man who belongs to a Non-Muslim community with whom a treaty of peace has been made, or a member of protected communities will not experience the fragrance of paradise.
(Bukhari)

Hospitality

He who believes in Allah and the Last Day should honour his guest; he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should not annoy his neighbours; and he who believes in Allah and the Last Day should say what is good or keep silent.
(Bukhari, Muslim)

It is part of the Sunna that a man should accompany his guest to the door of the house.
(Ibn Majah, Baihaqi)

He who believes in Allah and the Last Day should honour his guest. Provisions for the road are what will serve for a day and night; hospitality extends for three days; what goes beyond that is Sadqa; and it is not allowable that a guest should stay till he makes himself an encumbrance.
(Bukhari, Muslim)

Visiting the Sick

Feed the hungry, visit the sick and free the captive.(Bukhari)

When you visit an invalid tell him to make a supplication for you, for his supplication is like of the angels.(Ibn Majah)

A Muslim has five duties towards another Muslim; to return a salutation, visit the sick, follow funerals, accept an invitation and say 'Allah have mercy on you' when one sneezes. (Bukhari, Muslim)

Salutations

There are six good qualities which one believer should display to another; he should visit him when he is ill, be present when he dies, accept his invitation when he gives one, salute him when he meets him, say 'Allah have mercy on you' when he sneezes and act sincerely towards him whether he is absent or present. (Nasai)

The Allah's messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) passed a mixed company of Muslims, polytheists who worshipped idols and Jews and he gave them a salutation. (Bukhari, Muslim)

Those who are nearest to Allah are they who are first to give a salutation. (Ahmad, Tirmidhi, Abu Dawud)

When you go into your family, give a salutation. It will be a blessing both to you and to your family. (Tirmidhi)

Goodness and the cementing of Relationship

One who cuts ties of relationship will not enter paradise. (Bukhari, Muslim)

The Lord's good pleasure results from a father's good pleasure, and the Lord's displeasure results from the father's displeasure. (Tirmidhi)

"What rights can parents demand from their children?" He (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) replied, "They are your paradise and your hell." (Ibn Majah)

By Him in Whose hand my soul is, a man does not believe till he likes for his brother what he likes for himself.
(Bukhari, Muslim)

Those who are merciful have mercy shown them by the Compassionate One, if you show mercy to those who are in the earth, He Who is in heaven will show mercy to you.(Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi)

He does not belong to us who does not show mercy to our young ones and respect to our old ones, who does not recommend what is reputable and prohibit what is disreputable.(Tirmidhi)

The best house among the Muslims is the one which contains an orphan who is well treated, and the worst house among the Muslims is the one which contains an orphan who is badly treated. (Ibn Majah)

The believer is not the one who eats his fill when the neighbour beside him is hungry. (Baihaqi)

Touch an orphan's head and feed the poor. (Ahmad)

Guarding against Slander and Abuse

None of my companions must tell me anything about anyone, for I like to come out to you with no ill-feelings. (Abu-Dawud)

If you guarantee me six things on your part, I shall guarantee you paradise: speak the truth when you talk, keep a promise when you make it, when you are trusted with something fulfil your trust, avoid sexual immorality, lower your eyes and restrain your hand from injustice. (Baihaqi)

Boasting & Party Spirit

The one who is most honourable in Allah's estimation is the pious. (Bukhari, Muslim)

Allah has revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one boasts over another, or oppresses another. (Muslim)

Discarding and Severing the bonds of Friendship

It is not allowable for a man to keep apart from his Muslim brother for more than three days. The better of the two is the one who is first to give a greeting.
(Bukhari, Muslim)

Gentleness, Modesty & Good Character

He who is deprived of gentleness is deprived of good.
(Muslim).

I have been sent to perfect good character.
(Muwatta, Ahmad).

Among the best of you [are they] who have the best character.
(Bukhari, Muslim)

The believers whose faith is most perfect are those who have the best character.
(Abu Dawud, Darimi).

Tenderness and Mercy towards people

Allah will not show mercy to him who does not show mercy to others.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

"If anyone cares for two girls till they grow up, he and I will come on the Day of Resurrection thus," and he joined fingers.
(Muslim).

"I and the one who takes responsibility for an orphan, whether his own kin or of others, will be in paradise thus," and he pointed his forefinger and the middle finger with a slight space between them.
(Bukhari).

The Excellence of the poor & the Prophet's Livelihood

Seek me among you weak ones, for you are given provision from Allah, Allah will be satisfied with few good deeds from him.
(Baihaqi).

O Allah, grant me life as a poor man, cause me to die as a poor man, and resurrect me in the company of the poor.
(Tirmidhi, Baihaqi).

Abu Dharr said: My friend ordered me to observe seven things. He ordered me to love the poor and be near them; he ordered me to consider my inferior and not consider my superior; he ordered me to join ties of relationship even when relatives are at a distance; he ordered me not to ask anyone for anything; he ordered me to speak the truth even when it is bitter; he ordered me not to fear for Allah's sake reproach anyone may cast on me; and he ordered me to repeat often, "There is no might and no power except in Allah," for these words are a part of the treasure under the throne.
(Ahmad).

Hope & Avidity

Allah loves the pious rich man who is inconspicuous.
(Muslim).



Anger & Pride

The strong man is not the good wrestler; the strong man is only the one who controls himself when he is angry.
(Bukhari, Muslim).

He who has in his heart as much faith as a grain of mustard seed will not enter hell, and he who has in his heart as much pride as a grain of mustard seed will not enter paradise.
(Muslim).

When one of you becomes angry while standing, he should sit down. If the anger leaves him, well and good; otherwise he should lie down.
(Ahmad, Tirmidhi).

Oppression

Beware of the plea of the oppressed, for he asks Allah most high only for his due, and Allah does not keep one who has a right from receiving what is due.
(Baihaqi).

If anyone walks with an oppressor to strengthen, knowing that he is an oppressor, he has gone forth from Islam.
(Baihaqi).
