Remembrance of Allah in the Morning and in the Evening

 

Abu Hurairah (RadhiAllahu 'anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said,

"He who recites in the morning and in the evening the statement:

سُبْحَانَ اللهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ

`Subhan-Allahi wa bihamdihi 

(Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with praising Him)'

One Hundred Times, will not be surpassed on the Day of Resurrection by anyone with better deeds than one who utters the same words or utters more of these words.''

The Excellence of waiting after As-Salat (The Prayer)

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"The angels supplicate in favour of one of you so long as he remains in the place where he has performed Salat (prayer) in a state of Wudu'. They (the angels) say: `O Allah! Forgive him, O Allah! Have mercy on him.'''

Surat Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112)

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (Radhiallahu anhu) reported about Surat Al-Ikhlas (Chapter 112): The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, it is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.''

According to another version, he (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said to his Companions, "Is anyone of you incapable of reciting one-third of the Qur'an in one night?'' They considered it burdensome and said: "O Messenger of Allah, which of us can afford to do that?'' He (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "Surat Al-Ikhlas [Say: He is Allah (the) One] is equivalent to one-third of the Qur'an.''

[Al-Bukhari]

Commentary:
One reading of Surat Al-Ikhlas has return and reward equal to the recitation of one-third of the Qur'an. This Surah mentions the Oneness of Allah. This is enough to make one realize how much Allah (SWT) likes the recitation and remembrance of His Oneness. This is the reason, He has declared Shirk (polytheism) an absolutely unpardonable sin.

Supplication of a Muslim for his (Muslim) brother in his absence

Abud-Darda' (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"The supplication of a Muslim for his (Muslim) brother in his absence will certainly be answered. Everytime he makes a supplication for good for his brother, the angel appointed for this particular task says: `Ameen! May it be for you, too'.''

The supplication most often recited by the Prophet (pbuh)

Anas (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The supplication most often recited by the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) was:

"Allahumma atina fid-dunya hasanatan, wa fil-akhirati hasanatan, wa qina `adhab-annar (O our Rubb! give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the punishment of the Fire).'''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

In the narration of Muslim it is added that whenever Anas supplicated, he used to beseech Allah with this Du`a.

Commentary:
It is desirable to recite this Du`a which is mentioned in the Qur'an (2:201) and which comprehends all that is good both in this life and the Hereafter. The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) made it a habit to recite this Du`a, and the Companions were eager to follow him in all his words and actions.

Show kind attitude when asking for the repayment of loans

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"He who gives respite to someone who is in straitened circumstances, or grants him remission, Allah will shelter him in the shade of His Throne, on the Day of Resurrection, when there will be no shade except its shade.''

[At-Tirmidhi]

Commentary: On the Day of Resurrection, the sun will come very close to people's heads who will then be badly sweating to the extent that sweat will reach up to their ankles, or knees or shoulders; some will be totally overwhelmed with their sweat (depending on their sins). Those people who will have the privilege of getting in the shade of the Throne will be then very lucky indeed. Among such lucky people, there will be a person who used not only to give loans to the poor and the needy but also gave them convenience in the payment of their debts or would forgive a part of the loan or all of it. This Hadith has food for thought for the affluent. Nowadays people usually lend money to people of their own status and do not like to give loan to the poor because they think that it is difficult to recover from them. As far as remitting a loan is concerned, we have totally forgotten this precept. In any case, to refuse loan to a poor, when a person is in a position to lend money to him, is hateful. To lend money to a needy and then to show him leniency in its payment or to remit it altogether is a praiseworthy act, the best reward for which will be given to him on the Day of Resurrection. May Allah enable us to be generous to the poor on this account.
