Prophet Muhammad's Sermon of Tabuk campain (part 2)

The worst acts are those based on innovation

The best way of life is the one adopted by the Prophets of Allah

The most wretched blindness consists in going astray after finding the Right way

The best of acts is the one that yields benefits

The best guidance is that which the people may be able to follow

The worst blindness is the blindness of the heart

The upper hand is better than the lower one

Blessed Prophet Muhammad(s) said “The sign that Allah has turned away from His worshipper is his busying himself in what does not concern him; and if a man has passed an hour of his life in other than for which he was created, it is certainly fitting that his grief should be prolonged (on the Day of Resurrection) and whosoever has reached (the age of forty, and his good does not surpass his evil, let him prepare for the fire.”

They said: O Messenger of Allah, not even Jihaad in the path of Allah? He said: Not even Jihaad in the Path of Allah, the Most High, except if a man goes out (for Jihaad) with his self and his wealth, then he doesn't return with anything from that."
(Al-Bukhaaree, Abu Daawood and others. The exact wording is that of Abu Daawood)

It is reported that the messenger of Allah said,“Whoever has humility for the sake of Allah, Allah will raise him up so that he will be small in his own sight, and great in the sight of people. And whoever is arrogant, Allah will debase him so that he will be small in the sight of people, large in his own sight, until he becomes more heinous than the dog or pig”

“Laylat al-Qadr is a pleasant night, neither hot nor cold, and the following day the sun rises red and weak.”[Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, 2912; Musnad al-Tayalisi].

The third sign: it was reported by al-Tabarani with a hasan isnad from the hadith of Wathilah ibn al-Asqa’ that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said:“Laylat al-Qadr is a bright night, neither hot nor cold, in which no meteors are seen.”[Narrated by al-Tabarani in al-Kabir. Musnad Ahmad]

 (Muslim)

Hazrat Anas ibn Maalik (R.A.) narrates in a hadith of Sahih Bukhari that Rasulullah SA mentioned: " Whoever forgets to pray a Salah, it is obligatory upon him that he pray that Salah when he remembers. There is no other way that this can be made up."

Sahih Bukhari, Kitaabul Mawaaqeet - Hadith 597

It is narrated on the authority of Aishah, radiyallahu 'anha, that the Messenger of Allah(pbuh) said: "Whosoever introduces into this affair of ours (i.e. into Islam) something that does not belong to it, it is to be rejected.

Al-Bukhari & Muslim

Narrated by Anas bin Malik (R): Allah's Apostle says that As the son of Adam(AS) that is man, grows old and so the two desires grow old with him,i.e., a love for wealth and a wish for a long life.

Bukhari.

On the authority of An Nawwas ibn Saman (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet SA said : Righteousness is good morality, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul and which you dislike people finding out about.

 Narrated Abu Huraira: I said: "O Allah's Apostle! Who will be the luckiest person, who will gain your intercession on the Day of Resurrection?" Allah's Apostle said: O Abu Huraira! "I have thought that none will ask me about it before you as I know your longing for the (learning of) Hadiths. The luckiest person who will have my intercession on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who said sincerely from the bottom of his heart "None has the right to be worshipped but Allah."

And 'Umar bin 'Abdul 'Aziz wrote to Abu Bakr bin Hazm, "Look for the knowledge of Hadith and get it written, as I am afraid that religious knowledge will vanish and the religious learned men will pass away (die). Do not accept anything save the Hadiths of the Prophet. Circulate knowledge and teach the ignorant, for knowledge does not vanish except when it is kept secretly (to oneself)." 

On the authority of Abu Huraria (may Allah be pleased with him). who said: The Messenger of Allah SA said: Each person's every joint must perform a charity everyday the sun comes up: to act justly between two people is a charity; to help a man with his mount, lifting him onto it or hoisting up his belongings onto it is a charity; a good word is a charity; every step you take to prayers is a charity; and removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.

Muslim and Bukhari

The Noble Prophet, Sall-Allahu alayhi wa sallam, has said: 'The best fasts after the fasts of Ramadan are those of the month of Muharram."

Although the fasts of the month of Muharram are not obligatory, yet one who fasts in these days out of his own will is entitled to a great reward by Allah Almighty. The Hadith cited above signifies that the fasts of the month of Muharram are most rewardable ones among the Nafl or voluntary fasts.

The Hadith does not mean that the award promised for fasts of Muharram can be achieved only by fasting for the whole month. On the contrary, each fast during this month has merit. Therefore, one should avail of this opportunity as much as he can.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar ,The Prophet said, "All of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards. The ruler is a guardian and the man is a guardian of his family; the lady is a guardian and is responsible for her husband's house and his offspring; and so all of you are guardians and are responsible for your wards."AL Bukhari.
