Narrated Abu Huraira reported God’s messenger as saying, “When a man
dies no further reward is recorded for his actions, with three exceptions:
sadaqa which continues to be supplied, or knowledge from which benefit
continues to be reaped, or the prayers of a good son for his dead father.”
Muslim transmitted it.
Narrated Ibn Mas'ud reported God’s messenger as saying, “Two people only
may be envied:
a man to whom God has given property, empowering
him to dispose of it on what is right; and a man to whom God has given
wisdom who acts according to it and teaches it.” (Bukhari and Muslim).
He also reported God’s messenger as saying, “ If anyone removes
one of the anxieties of this world from a believer, God will remove one
of the anxieties of the day of resurrection from him; if one smooths
the way for one who is destitute, God will smooth the way for him in
this world and the next; and if anyone conceals the faults of a Muslim,
God will conceal his faults, in this world and the next. God helps a
man as long as he helps his brother. If anyone pursues a path in
search of knowledge, God will thereby make easy for him a path to paradise. No company will gather in a mosque to recite God’s Book and
study it together without calmness descending on them, mercy covering
them, the angels surrounding them, and God mentioning them among
those who are with Him. But he who is made slow by his actions will
not be speeded by his genealogy.” Muslim transmitted it.
Abu Huraira reported God's messenger as saying, “Men are of
different origins just as gold and silver are; the best among them in
the pre-Islamic period are the best among them in Islam when they are
versed in the religion.” Muslim transmitted it.
