Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "By the One in Whose Hand my soul is, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Islam. And, you will not submit to Islam until you love one another.
Extend the greeting to one another and you will love one another. Beware
of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not tell you that it shaves the hair,
but it shaves away the deen."
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace, said, "The souls of two believers should
meet in the course of a day even if they do not actually see each other."

of our jokesters in this quarter.'"

or three times. Then the people said, "Yes, O Messenger of Allah." He said,
"The one among you with the best character."
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: مَا خُيِّرَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم بَيْنَ أَمْرَيْنِ إِلاَّ اخْتَارَ أَيْسَرَهُمَا، مَا لَمْ يَكُنْ إِثْمًا، فَإِذَا كَانَ إِثْمًا كَانَ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْهُ، وَمَا انْتَقَمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم لِنَفْسِهِ، إِلاَّ أَنْ تُنْتَهَكَ حُرْمَةُ اللهِ تَعَالَى، فَيَنْتَقِمُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ بِهَا.
'A'isha said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and
grant him peace, was never given a choice between two things but that he
chose the easier of the two as long as it was not a wrong action. If it
was a wrong action, then he was the last person to do it. The Messenger
of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, never took revenge on
his own behalf. But when the respect of Allah Almighty was violated, he
would take revenge on behalf of Allah Almighty."
'Abdullah said, "Allah Almighty allotted character between
you as He divided provision between you. Allah Almighty bestows wealth
on those He loves and those He does not love. He only bestows faith upon those who
He loves. Whoever is stingy about spending his wealth, fears to fight
the enemy, and is terrified of enduring the night should frequently repeat .
'There is no god worthy of worship but Allah, Glory be to Allah, All praises are due to Allah, and
Allah is the greatest."

grant him peace, said, "Wealth does not mean having a lot of property, rather
wealth is in being content."
Anas said, "I served the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, for ten years. He never said 'uff' to me and he never questioned me
about anything I had not done, asking, 'Why didn't you do it?' or questioned me about something
I had done, asking 'Why did you do that?'"
Anas ibn Malik said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant
him peace, was merciful. No one came to him but that he promised him
something and carried out that promise, if he had anything to give. The
iqama for the prayer had been given when a bedouin came, took hold of
his garment, and stated, 'I am still not satisfied and I'm afraid of forgetting'. The Prophet went with him until the man had received
what he wanted then he returned and prayed."
