Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (Radhiallaho anha) reported:
Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,
"The most evil of the people to Allah on the Day of Resurrection will be the man who consorts with his wife and then publicizes her secret.''
[Muslim]
Commentary:
Islam treats conjugal union as a sacred and secret act, both in social and moral terms. Indeed, the sanctity of conjugal rights contributes to the consolidation of moral norms and social cohesion. Yet, what passes between wife and husband on the consummation night is usually taken in a light vein in our societies. In the morning, both of them relate their sexual experience to their friends respectively. This is moral indecency which is incompatible with human dignity and civilized behaviour. This Hadith reckons it as a grave sin which must be eschewed. The bed-experience must be kept private by the married couple to the exclusion of a third person.

Secrecy of Private Matters
Thabit (Radhiallaho anha) reported:
Anas (Radhiallaho anha) said:
Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) came to me while I was playing with the boys. He greeted us and sent me on an errand. This delayed my return to my mother. When I came to her, she asked, "What detained you?'' I said; "Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) sent me on an errand.'' She asked, "What was it?'' I said, "It is a secret.'' My mother said; "Do not disclose to anyone the secret of Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam).'' Anas (Radhiallaho anha) said to Thabit (Radhiallaho anha): By Allah, were I to tell it to anyone I would have told you.
[Muslim]
Commentary:
Here, an emphasis has been laid on keeping a secret. When Anas (Radhiallaho anha) told his mother about the cause of secrecy, she refrained from insisting that the secret should be disclosed to her. Rather, she lent support to her son's standpoint and advised him to conceal the secret. To be sure, it is part of moral teaching that we should keep the secrets of friends in our hearts. Unless we receive a go-ahead from a friend, we must not make his secret public.

A good Supplication (Dua) to heal sickness
Ibn `Abbas (Radhiallaho anha) reported:
The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "He who visits a sick person who is not on the point of death and supplicates seven times:
As'alullahal-`Azima Rabbal-`Arshil-`Azimi, an yashfiyaka
(I beseech Allah the Great, the Rubb of the Great Throne, to heal you),
Allah will certainly heal him from that sickness.''
[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]
Commentary:
There is always a great certainty that Allah will respond to a supplication which springs from a sincere, veracious heart. One should, therefore, pray for a patient with full conviction and reassurance of heart. Moreover, the Prophet's prayers have special effect and grace and therefore their original wordings should be uttered.

Hajj Mabrur (accepted Hajj) makes a muslim pure and free of sins
The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,
"Whoever performs Hajj (pilgrimage) and does not have sexual relations (with his wife), nor commits sin, nor disputes unjustly (during Hajj), then he returns from Hajj as pure and free from sins as on the day on which his mother gave birth to him.''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
The true meanings of "Rafath'' sexual intercourse but it also signifies obscene and frivolous talk and the expression of sexual desire to one's wife. Since coition with one's wife is forbidden during Hajj, so conversation with her on this subject or talking for amusement is also disliked. "Fisq'' means disobedience of Allah and quarrelling with people. One must avoid both of them during Hajj. The Hajj which is performed with all these restrictions, has the merit that one is totally purged of sins. But this purification is from sins which come in the category of minor sins and which relate to the Rights of Allah. Major sins relating to the Rights of Allah and lapses in respect of the rights of people are not pardoned without sincere repentance and compensation to the aggrieved.

Excellence of an accepted pilgrimage (Hajj)
The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was asked: "Which deed is the best?'' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied,
"Faith in Allah and His Messenger.'' Then he was asked: "What is next?'' He replied, "Jihad (holy fighting) in the Cause of Allah.'' Then he was asked, "What is after that?'' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) replied, "Hajj Mabrur (an accepted pilgrimage).''
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith points out the fact that Hajj is one of the most prominent religious acts, provided it is done sincerely and keeping oneself away from sins. Some people have interpreted the word "Hajj Mabrur'' as an accepted Hajj. They say that the sign of an accepted Hajj is that one becomes a true worshipper of Allah, which he was previously not.

Surely, this supplication is better for you in this life and in the Hereafter.''

Excellence of Knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
[Muslim]
Commentary:
In this Hadith, knowledge means the knowledge of the religion, that is to say the correct knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith which is acquired without any prejudice of any juristic school. Otherwise juristic prejudice can turn knowledge into great obstruction. May Allah bestow His Mercy on us.

Excellence of Proceeding towards the Mosque Walking
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"He who purifies (performs Wudu') himself in his house and then walks to one of the houses of Allah (mosque) for performing an obligatory Salat, one step of his will wipe out his sins and another step will elevate his rank (in Jannah).''
[Muslim]
Commentary:
This Hadith has an inducement for offering Salat in the mosque and brings into eminence the merit of doing so. The merit lies in the fact that one minor sin is pardoned at every step that is taken towards the mosque and one's status (in Jannah) is enhanced by one stage. This Hadith also mentions the vastness of the Mercy and Blessing of Allah.
