Hadith

“Rabbi Zidni Ilma - My Lord! Increase me in knowledge”

Mu'adh bin Jabal (RadiAllahu anhu) reported:

I asked the Allah's Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam): "Inform me of an act which will cause me to enter Jannah and keep me far from Hell." He (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) replied, “You have asked me about a matter of great importance, but it is easy for one for whom Allah makes it easy."

He (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) added, "Worship Allah, associate nothing with Him in worship, offer As-Salat, pay the Zakat, observe Saum during Ramadan and perform Hajj to the House of Allah, if you can afford it."

He (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) further said, "Shall I not guide you to the gates of goodness? Fasting is a screen (from Hell), charity extinguishes (i.e. removes) the sins as water extinguishes fire, and standing in prayers by a slave of Allah during the last third part of the night."

Then he (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) recited:

"Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Rabb in fear and hope,

and they spend (in charity in Allah's Cause) out of which We have bestowed on them.

No person knows what is kept hidden for them of joy as a reward for what they used to do."

(Holy Qur’an 32:17,18)

Then he (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) added, "Shall I tell you of the root of the matter, its pillars and its highest point?"

I replied: “Yes! Certainly, O Prophet of Allah."

He (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) said, “The root of this matter is Islam, its pillar (mainstay is) As-Salat and its highest point is Jihad (fighting in the Cause of Allah)."

Then he (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) asked, “Shall I tell you of that which holds all these things?"

I said: "Yes, O Allah's Messenger."

So he (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) took  hold of his tongue and said, "Keep this in control."

I asked,"O Allah's Messenger! Shall we really be accountable for what we talk about?"

He (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) replied, “May your mother lose you! people will be thrown on their faces into the Hell on account of their tongues."

Hadith:

Abu Umamah (Radi Allahu anhu) reported:

Allah's Messenger (SalAllahu alaihi wasallam) said, “Allah decrees the (Hell) Fire and de-bars Jannah for the one who usurps the rights of a believer by taking a false oath."

One man asked,”O Allah's Messenger! Even if it should be for an insignificant thing?"

He (peace be upon him) said, “Even if it be a stick of the Arak tree (i.e. the tree from which Miswak sticks are taken.)"
