A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
Kindness is not to be found in anything but that it adds to its beauty and it is not withdrawn from anything but it makes it defective.
This hadith has been reported by Miqdam b. Shuraih b. Hani with the same chain of transmitters but with this addition:
'A'isha mounted upon a wild camel and she began to make that go round and round. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: You should show kindness, and then he made a mention of this hadith.

Abu Huraira reported it was said to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ):
Invoke curse upon the polytheists, whereupon he said: I have not been sent as the invoker of curse, but I have been sent as mercy.
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ، وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ، قَالاَ حَدَّثَنَا مَرْوَانُ، - يَعْنِيَانِ الْفَزَارِيَّ - عَنْ يَزِيدَ، - وَهُوَ ابْنُ كَيْسَانَ - عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ادْعُ عَلَى الْمُشْرِكِينَ قَالَ إِنِّي لَمْ أُبْعَثْ لَعَّانًا وَإِنَّمَا بُعِثْتُ رَحْمَةً .
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
O Allah, I am a human being and for any person amongst Muslims upon whom I hurl malediction or invoke curse or give him whipping make it a source of purity and mercy.
This hadith has been transmitted on the authority of A'mash and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of 'Isa the words are:
Make it a source of reward, and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Abu Huraira (the words are): Make it a source of mercy.
Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported that Muhammad ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
Should I inform you that slandering, that is in fact a tale-carrying which creates dissension amongst people, (and) he (further) said: The person tells the truth until he is recorded as truthful, and lie tells a lie until lie is recorded as a liar.
Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
Truth leads one to Paradise and virtue leads one to Paradise and the person tells the truth until he is recorded as truthful, and lie leads to obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell, and the person tells a lie until he is recorded as a liar.
Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
Telling of truth is a virtue and virtue leads to Paradise and the servant who endeavours to tell the truth is recorded as truthful, and lie is obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell-Fire, and the servant who endeavours to tell a lie is recorded as a liar. Ibn Abu Shaiba reported this from Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ).
Abdullah reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
It is obligatory for you to tell the truth, for truth leads to virtue and virtue leads to Paradise, and the man who continues to speak the truth and endeavours to tell the truth is eventually recorded as truthful with Allah, and beware of telling of a lie for telling of a lie leads to obscenity and obscenity leads to Hell-Fire, and the person who keeps telling lies and endeavours to tell a lie is recorded as a liar with Allah.
This hadith has been reported on the authority of A'mash with the same chain of transmitters and no mention is made in the hadith transmitted on the authority of 'Isa (of these words):
He who endeavours to tell the truth and endeavours to tell a lie, and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Mushir (the words are): Until Allah records it .
Abdullah b. Mas'ud reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
Whom do you count as Raqub amongst you? They (his Companions) said: One who has no children (the children are born unto him but they do not survive). Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: He is not a Raqub but Raqub is one who does not find his child as the forerunner (in Paradise). He then said: Whom do you count as a wrestler amongst you? We said: He who wrestles with persons. He said: No, it is not he but one who controls himself when in a fit of rage.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
The strong-man is not one who wrestles well but the strong man is one who controls himself when he is in a fit of rage.
Abu Huraira reported:
I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: One is not strong because of one's wrestling skillfully. They said: Allah's Messenger, then who is strong? He said: He who controls his anger when he is in a fit of rage.
Suhail b. Abi Salih, reported:
We were in Arafa that there happened to pass Umar b. Abd al-'Aziz and he was the Amir of Hajj. People stood up in order to catch a glimpse of him. I said to my father: Father, I think that Allah loves Umar b. Abd al- 'Aziz. He said: How is it? I said: It is because of the love in people's heart for him. Thereupon he said: By One Who created your father, I heard Abu Huraira narrating from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) a hadith like one transmitted on the authority of Suhail.
Abdullah b. 'Umar reported:
I went to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in the morning and he heard the voice of two persons who had an argumentation with each other about a verse. Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to us (and) the (signs) of anger could be seen on his face. He said: Verily, the (peoples) before you were ruined because of their disputation in the Book.
A'isha reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
He who loves to meet Allah, Allah loves to meet him, and he who dislikes to meet Allah, Allah abhors to meet him. I ('A'isha) said: Allah's Apostle, so far as the feeling of aversion against death is concerned, we all have this feeling. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: It is not that (which you construe), but (this) that when a believer (at the time of death) is given the glad tidings of the mercy of Allah, His Pleasure, and of Paradise, he loves to meet Allah, and Allah also loves to meet him, and when an unbeliever is given the news of the torment at the Hand of Allah, and Hardship to be imposed by Him, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah also abhors to meet him.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
He who alleviates the suffering of a brother out of the sufferings of the world, Allah would alleviate his suffering from the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection, and he who finds relief for one who is hard-pressed, Allah would make things easy for him in the Hereafter, and he who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in the world and in the Hereafter. Allah is at the back of a servant so long as the servant is at the back of his brother, and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy, leading to Paradise for him and those persons who assemble in the house among the houses of Allah (mosques) and recite the Book of Allah and they learn and teach the Qur'an (among themselves) there would descend upon them tranquility and mercy would cover them and the angels would surround them and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him, and he who is slow-paced in doing good deeds, his (high) lineage does not make him go ahead.
Agharr Abi Muslim reported:
I bear witness to the fact that both Abu Huraira and Abu Sa'id Khudri were present when Allah's Messenger may peace be upon him) said: The people do not sit but they are surrounded by angels and covered by Mercy, and there descends upon them tranquillity as they remember Allah, and Allah makes a mention of them to those who are near Him.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
None amongst you would attain salvation purely because of his deeds. A person said: Allah's Messenger, even you? Thereupon he said: Yes, not even I except that Allah wraps me in Mercy, but you should act with moderation.
