Ahadith

Abu Musa Ash‘ari relates that the Holy Prophet said: A trusty Muslim treasurer is one who issues what he is ordered and makes it over cheerfully and in full to the person designated. Such a one has the same reward as if he was himself the donor (Bokhari and Muslim). (Al-Hujurat 12, Al-A`raf 70, Al-A`raf 70)

Tamim Dari relates that the Holy Prophet said: Faith is goodwill. We asked: Towards whom? He answered: Towards Allah, His Book, His Messenger, leading Muslims and the general public (Muslim). (Al-Hujurat 12, Al-A`raf 70, Al-A`raf 70)

Jarir ibn Abdullah relates: I made my covenant with the Holy Prophet that I would observe Prayer, pay the.Zakat and have goodwill towards every Muslim (Bokhari and Muslim). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31, Al-Hijr 96, Al-A`raf 167)

Anas relates that the Holy Prophet said: A person is not a believer unless he desires for his brother that which he desires for himself (Bokhari and Muslim). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31, Al-Hijr 96, Al-A`raf 167)

Abu Sa‘id Khudri relates that he heard the Holy Prophet say: He who from among you observes something evil should reverse it with his hand; if he is unable to do that he should condemn it with his tongue; if he is unable to do that he should at least resent it in his heart; this is the lowest degree of faith (Muslim). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31, Al-Hijr 96, Al-A`raf 167)

Ibn Mas‘ud relates that the Holy Prophet said: Every one of the Prophets raised before me had devoted disciples and companions who followed his practice and obeyed his directions. These were followed by those who said that which they did not do, and did that which they were not commanded. He who challenges them with his hands is a believer, so also he who challenges them with his tongue, and so also he who challenges them with his heart. Beyond this there is not a grain of faith (Muslim). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31, Al-Hijr 96, Al-A`raf 167)

UbadahibnSamatrelates: Wemadea covenant with the Holy Prophet to hear and to obey in adversity and in prosperity, in hardship and in ease; to endure being discriminated against, and not to dispute the assumption of authority by others, except in a case of open repudiation of faith such as is condemned by clear authority; to tell the truth in every contingency and not to mind in that behalf any reproach or rebuke (Bokhari and Muslim). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31, Al-Hijr 96, Al-A`raf 167)

Nu‘man ibn Bashir relates that the Holy Prophet said: The case of those who observe the limits set by Allah and those who are careless about them is like passengers on a ship who cast lots to determine who should occupy the upper deck and who should be on the lower deck and disposed of themselves accordingly. Those who were on the lower deck passed through those of the upper deck whenever they had to fetch water. So they said to the occupants of the upper deck: If we were to bore a hole through our part, we would not then" have to trouble you. Now, if the occupants of the upper deck were to leave the others to carry out their design they would all perish together; but if they were to stop them from carrying it out they would all be saved (Bokhari). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31)

Umm Salamah (wife of the Holy Prophet) relates that the Holy Prophet said: There will be appointed in authority over you some in whose case you will recognise some of their actions as being in conformity with the law and others in conflict with it. Then he who refrains from following their example will be secure, and he who resents it will be guiltless; but he who is pleased and follows them will be accountable. He was asked: Messenger of Allah, shall we not fight’ them? He said: Not so long as they maintain the Prayer services among you (Muslim). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31, Al-Hijr 96, Al-A`raf 167)

Zainab relates: The Holy Prophet came in one day in great perturb- ation saying: There is no one worthy of worship save Allah. Woe unto the Arabs from the evil that is approaching. A breach has been made in the wall holding back Gog and Magog of this size; and he made a circle of his thumb and forefinger. I said to him: Messenger of Allah, shall we be destroyed while there are a number of the righteous among us? He said: Yes; when evil becomes widespread (Bokhari and Muslim). (Aal-e-`Imran 106, Aal-e-`Imran 112, Al-A`raf 201, At-Taubah 71, Al-Kahf 31, Al-Hijr 96, Al-A`raf 167)
