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.
Anas reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
When Allah fashioned Adam in Paradise, He left him as He liked him to leave. Then Iblis roamed round him to see what actually that was and when he found him hollow from within, he recognised that he had been created with a disposition that he would not have control over himself.
Abu Huraira reported a hadith from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) ; (one of them was this) that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
None amongst you should point a weapon towards his brother, for he does not know that Satan might cause the weapon (to slip) from his hand and (he may injure anyone) and thus he may fall into Hell-Fire.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
A person while walking along the path saw the branches of a tree lying there. He said: By Allah, I shall remove these from this so that these may not do harm to the Muslims, and he was admitted to Paradise.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying that he saw a person enjoying himself in Paradise because of the tree that he cut from the path which was a source of inconvenience to the people.
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying that there was a tree which caused inconvenience to the Muslims; a person came there and cut that (tree) (and thus entered ) Paradise).
Abdullah reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
A woman was tormented because of a cat which she had confined until it died and she had to get into Hell. She did not allow it either to eat or drink as it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of the earth.
Abu Huraira reported from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) A hadith out of which one was this that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said:
A woman got into Hell-Fire because of a cat whom she had tied, and thus it could not eat, and she did not let it free so that it could devour the vermin of the earth, until it died.
A'isha, the wife of Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ), said:
A woman came to me along with her two daughters. She asked me for (charity) but she found nothing with me except one date, so I gave her that. She accepted it and then divided it between her two daughters and herself ate nothing out of that. She then got up and went out, and so did her two daughters. (In the meanwhile) Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) visited me and I narrated to him her story. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: He who is involved (in the responsibility) of (bringing up) daughters, and he accords benevolent treatment towards them, there would be protection for him against Hell-Fire.
A'isha reported:
A poor woman came to me along with her daughters. I gave her three dates. She gave a date to each of them and then she took up one date and brought that to her mouth in order to eat that, but her daughters expressed desire to eat it. She then divided the date that she intended to eat between them. This (kind) treatment of her impressed me and I mentioned that which she did to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ). Thereupon he said: Verily Allah has assured Paradise for her, because of (this act) of her, or He has rescued her from Hell-Fire.
Malik reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
He, who brought up two girls properly till they grew up, he and I would come (together) (very closely) on the Day of Resurrection, and he interlaced his fingers (for explaining the point of nearness between him and that person).
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying:
Anyone amongst the Muslims, three of whose children die, and he resigns himself calmly to the will of God, Fire will not touch him but for the fulfilment of the oath.
This hadith has been reported by Zuhri on the authority of Malik, and in the hadith transmitted on the authority of Sufyan (the words are):
He would enter into Fire, except for the fulfilment of the oath.
Abu Huraira reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to a woman of the Ansar:
In case anyone amongst you sees the sad demise of three children of (hers) and she resigns herself to the will of God hoping to get reward, she would be admitted to Paradise. A woman from amongst them said: Allah's Messenger, even if they (the children who die) are two. Thereupon, he (the Holy Prophet, ) said: Even if they are two.
Abu Sa'id Khudri reported that a woman came to Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said:
Allah's Messenger, men receive your instructions; kindly allocate at your convenience a day for us also, on which we would come to you and you would teach us what Allah has taught you. He said: You assemble on such and such a day. They assembled and Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) came to them and taught them what Allah had taught him and he then said: No woman amongst you who sends her three children as her forerunners (in the Hereafter) but they would serve him as a protection against Hell-Fire. A woman said: What about two and two and two? Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: Even if they are two and two and two
Abu Hassan reported:
I said to Abu Huraira that my two children had died. Would you narrate to me anything from Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) a hadith which would soothe our hearts in our bereavements? He said: Yes. Small children are the fowls of Paradise. If one of them meets his father (or he said his parents) he would take hold of his cloth, or he said with his hand as I take hold of the hem of your cloth (with my hand). And he (the child) would not take off (his hand) from it until Allah causes his father to enter Paradise.
Abu Huraira reported that a woman came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with her child and said:
Allah's Apostle, invoke Allah's blessing upon him for I have already buried three. He said: You have buried three! She said: Yes. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: You have, indeed, safeguarded yourself against the torment of Hell with a strong safeguard. 'Umar has made a mention of his father, whereas others have not made a mention of his father.
Abu Huraira reported that a woman came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) with her child and said:
Allah's Messenger, he is ailing, and I am afraid (that he may die), as I have already buried three. Thereupon he said: It (their sad demise) would be a protection against Hell-Fire for you. Zuhair has not mentioned the kunya of Abu Ghiyath; he has mentioned his name.
Abdullah (b. Mas'ud) reported that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) who is the most truthful (of the human beings) and his being truthful (is a fact) said:
Verily your creation is on this wise. The constituents of one of you are collected for forty days in his mother's womb in the form of blood, after which it becomes a clot of blood in another period of forty days. Then it becomes a lump of flesh and forty days later Allah sends His angel to it with instructions concerning four things, so the angel writes down his livelihood, his death, his deeds, his fortune and misfortune. By Him, besides Whom there is no god, that one amongst you acts like the people deserving Paradise until between him and Paradise there remains but the distance of a cubit, when suddenly the writing of destiny overcomes him and he begins to act like the denizens of Hell and thus enters Hell, and another one acts in the way of the denizens of Hell, until there remains between him and Hell a distance of a cubit that the writing of destiny overcomes him and then he begins to act like the people of Paradise and enters Paradise.
