Ka'ab Bin Maalik narrates "I remember my meeting with the holy prophet five days before his death. I heard Allah's messenger saying " Every prophet has some friend (Khalil) from the ummah and my Khalil is Abu Bakr bin Abi Qahafah and Allah made His prophet Muhammad His friend. Listen! the people befor you made the graves of their prophets a place to worship and I forbid you from this."
Then he (Peace BE Upon Him) said "O' Allah have I delivered?" and repeated it three times.
Then he (Peace be upon him) said "O' Allah be the witness" Then he fainted for sometime. Then he said "Fear Allah in case of your servants, give them full meal, clothes to wear and talk to them politely" (Reference: Chapter Targheeb-o-tarheeb Book: Tibrani)

Indeed in the Messenger of Allâh (Muhammadyou have a good example to follow for him who hopes for (the Meeting with) Allâh and the Last Day, and remembers Allâh much.

[Surah:Al*Ahzâ b (33); Ayah # 21]

----------------------------

Anas reported: Three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophetto inquire about the worship of the Prophet. When they were informed, they considered their worship insignificant and said: "Where are we in comparison with the Prophetwhile Allah has forgiven his past sins and future sins". One of them said: "As for me, I shall offer Salat all night long.'' Another said: "I shall observe Saum (fasting) continuously and shall not break it". Another said: "I shall abstain from women and shall never marry". The Prophet (PBUH) came to them and said, "Are you the people who said such and such things? By Allah, I fear Allah more than you do, and I am most obedient and dutiful among you to Him, but still I observe fast and break it; perform Salat and sleep at night and take wives. So whoever turns away from my Sunnah does not belong to me".

[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]

Volume 3, Book 38, Number 499: Narrated Abu Said Al-Khudri and Abu Huraira:

Allah's Apostle employed someone as a governor at Khaibar. When the man came to Medina, he brought with him dates called Janib. The Prophet asked him, "Are all the dates of Khaibar of this kind?" The man replied, "(No), we exchange two Sa's of bad dates for one Sa of this kind of dates (i.e. Janib), or exchange three Sa's for two." On that, the Prophet said, "Don't do so, as it is a kind of usury (Riba) but sell the dates of inferior quality for money, and then buy Janib with the money". The Prophet said the same thing about dates sold by weight. (See Hadith No. 506).


Volume 3, Book 38, Number 501: Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet owed somebody a camel of a certain age. When he came to demand it back, the Prophet said (to some people), "Give him (his due)." When the people searched for a camel of that age, they found none, but found a camel one year older. The Prophet said, "Give (it to) him." On that, the man remarked, "You have given me my right in full. May Allah give you in full." The Prophet said, "The best amongst you is the one who pays the rights of others generously."


Volume 3, Book 38, Number 502: Narrated Abu Huraira:

A man came to the Prophet demanding his debts and behaved rudely. The companions of the Prophet intended to harm him, but Allah's Apostle said (to them), "Leave him, for the creditor (i.e. owner of a right) has the right to speak." Allah's Apostle then said, "Give him a camel of the same age as that of his." The people said, "O Allah's Apostle! There is only a camel that is older than his." Allah's Apostle said, "Give (it to) him, for the best amongst you is he who pays the rights of others handsomely."


Friday Prayer

Volume 2, Book 13, Number 1: Narrated Abu Huraira:

I heard Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) saying, "We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost on the Day of Resurrection though the former nations were given the Holy Scriptures before us. And this was their day (Friday) the celebration of which was made compulsory for them but they differed about it. So Allah gave us the guidance for it (Friday) and all the other people are behind us in this respect: the Jews' (holy day is) tomorrow (i.e. Saturday) and the Christians' (is) the day after tomorrow (i.e. Sunday)."

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar:I heard Allah`s Apostle saying, "Everyone of you is a guardian, and responsible for what is in his custody. The ruler is a guardian of his subjects and responsible for them; a husband is a guardian of his family and is responsible for it; a lady is a guardian of her husband`s house and is responsible for it, and a servant is a guardian of his master`s property and is responsible for it." I heard that from Allah`s Apostle and I think that the Prophet also said, "A man is a guardian of is father`s property and is responsible for it, so all of you are guardians and responsible for your wards and things under your care."
[ Bukhari - 3:592 ]

---------------------------------

Narrated `Umar bin Al-Khattab: I heard Allah`s Apostle saying, "The reward of deeds depends upon the intentions and every person will get the reward according to what he has intended. So whoever emigrated for worldly benefits or for a woman to marry, his emigration was for what he emigrated for."
[ Sahih Bukhari, Hadith No. 1 ]


---------------------------------

‘Aa’ishah (may Allaah be pleased with her) said: “The Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) used to fast until we thought he would never break his fast, and not fast until we thought he would never fast. I never saw the Messenger of Allaah fasting for an entire month except in Ramadaan, and I never saw him fast more than he did in Sha’baan.”
[ Sahih Bukhari - Hadith No. 1833 ]

---------------------------------

Ibn-e-Abbaas(RA) reported that a man said, "O Messenger of Allaah, whatever Allaah and you will". He(PBUH) said,"Are you making me equal to Allaah"? [Say instead:] "What Allaah alone wills"
[Ahmad , Al-Musnad : 1/283]

Invoking Allah for Rain (Istisqaa)

Volume 2, Book 17, Number 144: Narrated Anas:

Whenever a strong wind blew, anxiety appeared on the face of the Prophet (fearing that wind might be a sign of Allah's wrath).


Volume 2, Book 17, Number 125: Narrated 'Abdullah bin Zaid

The Prophet went towards the Musalla and invoked Allah for rain. He faced the Qibla and wore his cloak inside out, and offered two Rakat.


Volume 2, Book 17, Number 137: Narrated Abbas bin Tamim from his uncle

"I saw the Prophet on the day when he went out to offer the Istisqa' prayer. He turned his back towards the people and faced the Qibla and asked Allah for rain. Then he turned his cloak inside out and led us in a two Rakat prayer and recited the Quran aloud in them."

---------------------------------

`Irbad bin Sariyahreported: One day Messenger of Allah delivered us a very eloquent Khutbah on account of which eyes shed tears and hearts were full of tears. A man said: "O Prophet of Allah, this is as if it were a parting advice. So advise us". Hesaid, "I admonish you to fear Allah, to listen and obey even if an Abyssinian slave is appointed as your leader. Because whosoever among you shall live after me, will see much discord. So hold fast to my Sunnah and the examples of the Rightly-Guided Caliphs who will come after me. Adhere to them and hold to it fast. Beware of new things (in Deen) because every Bid`ah is a misguidance".

[Abu Dawud & At-Tirmidhi]

Tauheed

2) Narrated Abdullah(RA):I asked the Prophet(SAW),"What is the greatest sin in consideration with Allah?He (SAW) said,"That u set up a reval unto Allah THough He alone created you."

2) The Prophet(SAW) said,"Allah said,'The son of Adam tells lies against Me though he has no right to do so,and he abuses Me though he has no right to do so.As for his telling lies against Me,he claims that I can not re-create him as i created him before;and as for his abusing Me:it his statement that I have a son,NO!Glorified be Me!I am far from taking a wife or a son.'"


The pillars of Islam

1) A bedouin with unkept hair came to Allah's Messanger and said,"O Allah's Messanger!Inform me what Allah has made compulsory for me regarding Salat."He(SAW) replied,"You have to offer perfectly the five compulsory Salat in a day and night,unless you want to pray Nawafil."The bedouin frether asked,"Inform me what Allah has made compulsory for me as regards Saum."He(SAW)replied,"you have to fast during the whole month of Ramadan,unless u want to fast more as Nawafil."The bedouin further asked,"Tell me how much Zakat Allah has enjoined on me."The narrattor added:Then Allah's Messanger informed him all about the Laws of Islam.The bedouin then said,"By whom Who has honoured you,I will neither perform any nawafil nor will i decrease what Allah has enjoined on me."Allah's Messanger(SAW) said,"If he is saying the truth,he will succeed(he will be granted paradise)."
