Hadith 1
Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
أَلَا وَإِنَّ فِي الْجَسَدِ مُضْغَةً إِذَا صَلَحَتْ صَلَحَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ وَإِذَا فَسَدَتْ فَسَدَ الْجَسَدُ كُلُّهُ أَلَا وَهِيَ الْقَلْبُVerily, in the body is a piece of flesh which, if sound, the entire body is sound, and if corrupt, the entire body is corrupt. Truly, it is the heart.
Hadith 2
Abdullah
ibn Amr reported: I said, “O Messenger of Allah, who are the best
people?” The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
ذُو الْقَلْبِ الْمَخْمُومِ وَاللِّسَانِ الصَّدُوقِOne with a heart swept clean and truthful in speech.
We said, “O Messenger of Allah, we know truthful in speech. What is a heart swept clean?” The Prophet said:
هُوَ التَّقِيُّ النَّقِيُّ لا إِثْمَ فِيهِ وَلا بَغْيَ وَلا حَسَدَOne that is mindful of Allah and pure, in which there is no sin, nor aggression, nor envy.
We said, “Who shows a sign of it?” The Prophet said:
الَّذِي يَشْنَأُ الدُّنْيَا وَيُحِبُّ الآخِرَةَOne who hates worldliness and loves the Hereafter.
They said, “And who shows a sign of it?” The Prophet said:
مُؤْمِنٌ فِي خُلُقٍ حَسَنٍA believer with good character.
Hadith 3
Abu Dharr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
الْغِنَى فِي الْقَلْبِ وَالْفَقْرُ فِي الْقَلْبِ مَنْ كَانَ الْغِنَى فِي قَلْبِهِ لا يَضُرُّهُ مَا لَقِيَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَنْ كَانَ الْفَقْرُ فِي قَلْبِهِ فَلا يُغْنِيهِ مَا أَكْثَرَ لَهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّمَا يَضُرُّ نَفْسَهُ شُحُّهاWealth is in the heart and poverty is in the heart. Whoever is wealthy in his heart will not be harmed no matter what happens in the world. Whoever is impoverished in his heart will not be satisfied no matter how much he has in the world. Verily, he will only be harmed by the greed of his own soul.
Hadith 4
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لا يَبْلُغُ عَبْدٌ حَقِيقَةَ الإِيمَانِ حَتَّى يُحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا يُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِThe servant does not attain the reality of faith until he loves for people what he loves for himself of goodness.
Hadith 5
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said to me:
يَا بُنَيَّ إِنْ قَدَرْتَ أَنْ تُصْبِحَ وَتُمْسِيَ لَيْسَ فِي قَلْبِكَ غِشٌّ لِأَحَدٍ فَافْعَلْYoung man, if you are able every morning and evening to remove any rancor from your heart towards anyone, do so.
Then, the Prophet said to me:
يَا بُنَيَّ وَذَلِكَ مِنْ سُنَّتِي وَمَنْ أَحْيَا سُنَّتِي فَقَدْ أَحَبَّنِي وَمَنْ أَحَبَّنِي كَانَ مَعِي فِي الْجَنَّةYoung man, that is my Sunnah. Whoever revives my Sunnah has loved me, and whoever loves me will be with me in Paradise.
Hadith 6
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ أَقْوَامٌ أَفْئِدَتُهُمْ مِثْلُ أَفْئِدَةِ الطَّيْرِPeople whose hearts are like the hearts of birds will enter Paradise.Al-Nawawi commented on this tradition, writing:
قيل معْنَاهُ مُتوَكِّلُون وقِيلَ قُلُوبُهُمْ رقِيقةٌIt is interpreted to mean they are those who rely upon Allah, or those who have soft hearts.
Hadith 7
Abu Umamah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, took me by the hand and he said:
يَا أَبَا أُمَامَةَ إِنَّ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ مَنْ يَلِينُ لَهُ قَلْبِيO Abu Umamah, among the believers are those who soften my heart.
Hadith 8
Abu
Huraira reported: A man came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and
blessings be upon him, and he complained about the hardness of his
heart. The Prophet said:
إِنْ أَرَدْتَ تَلْيِينَ قَلْبِكَ فَأَطْعِمْ الْمِسْكِينَ وَامْسَحْ رَأْسَ الْيَتِيمِIf you want to soften your heart, feed the poor and pat the head of the orphan.
Hadith 9
Fadalah ibn ‘Ubayd reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
الْمُجَاهِدُ مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُThe one who strives in jihad in the way of Allah is he who strives against his soul.
Hadith 10
Zayd ibn Arqam reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
اللَّهُمَّ آتِ نَفْسِي تَقْوَاهَا وَزَكِّهَا أَنْتَ خَيْرُ مَنْ زَكَّاهَاO Allah, grant my soul a sense of righteousness and purify it, for you are the best purifier.
Hadith 11
Anas ibn Malik reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
عَلَيْكَ بِحُسْنِ الْخُلُقِ وَطُولِ الصَّمْتِ فَوَالَّذِي نَفْسُ مُحَمَّدٍ بِيَدِهِ مَا عَمِلَ الْخَلائِقُ عَمَلا أَحَبَّ إِلَى اللَّهِ مِنْهُمَاYou must have good character and observe long periods of silence. By the one in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, no one can behave with deeds more beloved to Allah than these two.
Hadith 12
Anas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, would say:
يَا مُقَلِّبَ الْقُلُوبِ ثَبِّتْ قَلْبِي عَلَى دِينِكَO turner of the hearts, affirm my heart upon your religion!
I said, “O Messenger of Allah, we believe in you and in that with which you were sent. Do you fear for us?” The Prophet said:
نَعَمْ إِنَّ الْقُلُوبَ بَيْنَ أُصْبُعَيْنِ مِنْ أَصَابِعِ اللَّهِ يُقَلِّبُهَا كَيْفَ يَشَاءُYes, for the hearts are between the fingers of Allah. He turns them whichever way he wills.
Hadith 13
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لا تَدْخُلُوا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُسْلِمُوا وَلا تُسْلِمُوا حَتَّى تَحَابُّوا وَأَفْشُوا السَّلامَ تَحَابُّوا وَإِيَّاكُمْ وَالْبُغْضَةَ فَإِنَّهَا هِيَ الْحَالِقَةُ لا أَقُولُ لَكُمْ تَحْلِقُ الشَّعْرَ وَلَكِنْ تَحْلِقُ الدِّينَBy the one in whose hand is my soul, you will not enter Paradise until you submit to Allah and you will not submit until you love one another. Spread peace and you will love one another. Beware of hatred, for it is the razor. I do not say that it shaves hair, but rather it shaves away the religion.
Hadith 14
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ إِنْسَانٌ فِي قَلْبِهِ مِثْقَالُ حَبَّةٍ مِنْ خَرْدَلٍ مِنْ كِبْرٍNo human being will enter Paradise if there is as much as the weight of a seed of arrogance in his heart.
Hadith 15
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
تُفْتَحُ أَبْوَابُ الْجَنَّةِ يَوْمَ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَيَوْمَ الْخَمِيسِ فَيُغْفَرُ لِكُلِّ عَبْدٍ لَا يُشْرِكُ بِاللَّهِ شَيْئًا إِلَّا رَجُلًا كَانَتْ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ أَخِيهِ شَحْنَاءُ فَيُقَالُ أَنْظِرُوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَا أَنْظِرُوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَا أَنْظِرُوا هَذَيْنِ حَتَّى يَصْطَلِحَاThe gates of Paradise are opened on Monday and Thursday. Allah forgives every servant who does not associate anything with him, except a man with enmity between himself and his brother. It will be said: Delay these two until they reconcile, delay these two until they reconcile.
Hadith 16
Abu Barzah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّ مِمَّا أَخْشَى عَلَيْكُمْ شَهَوَاتِ الْغَيِّ فِي بُطُونِكُمْ وَفُرُوجِكُمْ وَمُضِلَّاتِ الْهَوَىVerily, among what I fear most for you are seductive temptations in your stomachs and passions, and the misguidance of whims.
Hadith 17
‘Amr ibn Shurahbil reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
أَلَا أُخْبِرُكُمْ بِمَا يُذْهِبُ وَحَرَ الصَّدْرِ صَوْمُ ثَلَاثَةِ أَيَّامٍ مِنْ كُلِّ شَهْرٍShall I tell you about what will rid the heart of impurities? Fasting three days of every month.
Hadith 18
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
اللَّهُمَّ أَلِّفْ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِنَا وَأَصْلِحْ ذَاتَ بَيْنِنَا وَاهْدِنَا سُبُلَ السَّلَامِ وَنَجِّنَا مِنْ الظُّلُمَاتِ إِلَى النُّورِ وَجَنِّبْنَا الْفَوَاحِشَ مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا وَمَا بَطَنَ وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي أَسْمَاعِنَا وَأَبْصَارِنَا وَقُلُوبِنَا وَأَزْوَاجِنَا وَذُرِّيَّاتِنَا وَتُبْ عَلَيْنَا إِنَّكَ أَنْتَ التَّوَّابُ الرَّحِيمُ وَاجْعَلْنَا شَاكِرِينَ لِنِعْمَتِكَ مُثْنِينَ بِهَا قَابِلِيهَا وَأَتِمَّهَا عَلَيْنَاO Allah, bring our hearts together, reconcile between us, guide us to ways of peace, and deliver us from darkness into light. Keep us away from immorality, outwardly and inwardly, and bless us in our hearing, our seeing, our hearts, our spouses, and our children. Accept our repentance, for you alone are the Relenting, the Merciful. Make us grateful for your blessings, praising and accepting them, and give them to us in full.
Hadith 19
Mu’adh ibn Jabal reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْأَلُكَ فِعْلَ الْخَيْرَاتِ وَتَرْكَ الْمُنْكَرَاتِ وَحُبَّ الْمَسَاكِينِ وَأَنْ تَغْفِرَ لِي وَتَرْحَمَنِي وَإِذَا أَرَدْتَ فِتْنَةَ قَوْمٍ فَتَوَفَّنِي غَيْرَ مَفْتُونٍ أَسْأَلُكَ حُبَّكَ وَحُبَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّكَ وَحُبَّ عَمَلٍ يُقَرِّبُ إِلَى حُبِّكَO Allah, I ask you for good deeds, avoidance of evil deeds, and love of the poor. Forgive me and have mercy on me. If you intend to put people to trial, take me away unscathed. I ask you for your love, the love of those who love you, and the love of good deeds that bring me closer to your love.
Hadith 20
Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
رَبِّ اجْعَلْنِي لَكَ شَكَّارًا لَكَ ذَكَّارًا لَكَ رَهَّابًا لَكَ مِطْوَاعًا لَكَ مُخْبِتًا إِلَيْكَ أَوَّاهًا مُنِيبًا رَبِّ تَقَبَّلْ تَوْبَتِي وَاغْسِلْ حَوْبَتِي وَأَجِبْ دَعْوَتِي وَثَبِّتْ حُجَّتِي وَسَدِّدْ لِسَانِي وَاهْدِ قَلْبِي وَاسْلُلْ سَخِيمَةَ صَدْرِيO Lord, make me grateful to you, mindful of you, fearful of you, obedient to you, humble to you, turning to you and repenting. O Lord, accept my repentance, wash away my sin, answer my supplication, establish my proof, direct my tongue, guide my heart, and remove the hatred from my chest.
Hadith 21
‘Amr ibn ‘Absah reported: A man said, “O Messenger of Allah, what is Islam?” The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
أَنْ يُسْلِمَ قَلْبُكَ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَأَنْ يَسْلَمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِكَ وَيَدِكَThat you surrender your heart to Allah and that Muslims are safe from your tongue and hand.
Hadith 22
Abdullah
ibn Mu’awiyah reported: A man said, “What is purification of the soul?”
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
أَنْ يَعْلَمَ أَنَّ اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مَعَهُ حَيْثُ كَانَThat one knows Allah Almighty is with him wherever he is.
Hadith 23
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ لَيَخْلَقُ فِي جَوْفِ أَحَدِكُمْ كَمَا يَخْلَقُ الثَّوْبُ الْخَلِقُ فَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ أَنْ يُجَدِّدَ الْإِيمَانَ فِي قُلُوبِكُمْVerily, the faith of one of you will wear out within him, just as a shirt becomes worn out, so ask Allah to renew faith in your hearts.
Hadith 24
Abu Ishaq reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
خَيْرُ مَا أُعْطِيَ الرَّجُلُ الْمُؤْمِنُ خُلُقٌ حَسَنٌ وَشَرُّ مَا أُعْطِيَ الرَّجُلُ قَلْبُ سُوءٌ فِي صُورَةٍ حَسَنَةٍThe best of what a believing man can be given is good character, and the worst of what a man can be given is an evil heart with a beautiful appearance.
Hadith 25
Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّ الَّذِي لَيْسَ فِي جَوْفِهِ شَيْءٌ مِنْ الْقُرْآنِ كَالْبَيْتِ الْخَرِبِVerily, one who does not hold anything from the Quran in his heart is like a ruined house.
Hadith 26
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لا يَجْتَمِعُ فِي جَوْفِ عَبْدٍ مُؤْمِنٍ الإِيمَانُ وَالْحَسَدُFaith and envy do not combine within a believing servant.In another narration, the Prophet said:
لَا يَجْتَمِعُ الشُّحُّ وَالْإِيمَانُ فِي قَلْبِ عَبْدٍ أَبَدًاGreed and faith are never combined in the heart of a servant.
Hadith 27
Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
خَصْلَتَانِ لَا تَجْتَمِعَانِ فِي مُؤْمِنٍ الْبُخْلُ وَسُوءُ الْخُلُقِTwo qualities are never combined in a believer: miserliness and bad character.
Hadith 28
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّ الْعَبْدَ إِذَا أَخْطَأَ خَطِيئَةً نُكِتَتْ فِي قَلْبِهِ نُكْتَةٌ سَوْدَاءُ فَإِذَا هُوَ نَزَعَ وَاسْتَغْفَرَ وَتَابَ سُقِلَ قَلْبُهُ وَإِنْ عَادَ زِيدَ فِيهَا حَتَّى تَعْلُوَ قَلْبَهُ وَهُوَ الرَّانُ الَّذِي ذَكَرَ اللَّهُ كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِمْ مَا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَVerily, when the servant commits a sin, a black mark appears upon his heart. If he abandons the sin, seeks forgiveness, and repents, then his heart will be polished. If he returns to the sin, the blackness will be increased until it overcomes his heart. It is the covering that Allah has mentioned: No, rather a covering is over their hearts from what they have earned. (83:14)
Hadith 29
Qurrah ibn Iyas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّ الْحَيَاءَ الْعَفَافُ وَالْعِيَّ عِيُّ اللِّسَانِ لا عِيُّ الْقَلْبِ وَالْعَمَلُ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ وَإِنَّهُنَّ يَزِدْنَ فِي الآخِرَةِ وَيَنْقُصْنَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا وَمَا يَزِدْنَ فِي الآخِرَةِ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّا يَزِدْنَ فِي الدُّنْيَاVerily, modesty, abstinence, reticence of the tongue but not the heart, and deeds are all part of faith. They bring gain in the Hereafter and loss in the world: what is gained in the Hereafter is much greater than what is missed in the world.
Hadith 30
Thawban reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
أَفْضَلُهُ لِسَانٌ ذَاكِرٌ وَقَلْبٌ شَاكِرٌ وَزَوْجَةٌ مُؤْمِنَةٌ تُعِينُهُ عَلَى إِيمَانِهِThe best wealth is a tongue that remembers Allah, a grateful heart, and a believing wife to help him in his faith.In another narration, the Prophet said:
وَزَوْجَةً مُؤْمِنَةً تُعِينُ أَحَدَكُمْ عَلَى أَمْرِ الْآخِرَةِAnd a believing wife to help one of you in matters of the Hereafter.Source: Sunan Ibn Mājah 1856, Grade: Sahih
Hadith 31
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, pointed to his heart and he said:
التَّقْوَى هَاهُنَاRighteousness is here.
Hadith 32
Zayd ibn Thabit reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
مَنْ كَانَتْ الدُّنْيَا هَمَّهُ فَرَّقَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ فَقْرَهُ بَيْنَ عَيْنَيْهِ وَلَمْ يَأْتِهِ مِنْ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا مَا كُتِبَ لَهُ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ الْآخِرَةُ نِيَّتَهُ جَمَعَ اللَّهُ لَهُ أَمْرَهُ وَجَعَلَ غِنَاهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ وَأَتَتْهُ الدُّنْيَا وَهِيَ رَاغِمَةٌWhoever makes the world his most important matter, Allah will confound his affairs and make poverty appear before his eyes and he will not get anything from the world but what has been decreed for him. Whoever makes the Hereafter his most important matter, Allah will settle his affairs and make him content in his heart and the world will come to him although he does not want it.
Hadith 33
Al-Aghar al-Muzani reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّهُ لَيُغَانُ عَلَى قَلْبِي وَإِنِّي لَأَسْتَغْفِرُ اللَّهَ فِي الْيَوْمِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍVerily, at times there is fog over my heart, so I seek the forgiveness of Allah one hundred times in a day.Al-Nawawi commented on this tradition, writing:
قِيلَ الْمُرَادُ الْفَتَرَاتُ وَالْغَفَلَاتُ عَنِ الذِّكْرِ الَّذِي كَانَ شَأْنُهُ الدَّوَامَ عَلَيْهِ فَإِذَا فتَرَ عَنْهُ أَوْ غَفَلَ عَدَّ ذَلِكَ ذَنْبًا وَاسْتَغْفَرَ مِنْهُIt is said that it means the Prophet had intervals of forgetting to remember Allah, which was his normal state of affairs. When the Prophet had a period of inattention, he would consider that a sin and seek forgiveness for it.
Hadith 34
Ibn Abbas reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
اللَّهُمَّ اجْعَلْ فِي قَلْبِي نُورًا وَفِي سَمْعِي نُورًا وَفِي بَصَرِي نُورًا وَفِي لِسَانِي نُورًا وَأَعْظِمْ لِي نُورًاO Allah, put light in my heart, put light in my hearing, put light in my seeing, put light on my tongue, and give me light in abundance.
Hadith 35
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَيْسَ الشَّدِيدُ مَنْ غَلَبَ النَّاسَ وَلَكِنَّ الشَّدِيدَ مَنْ غَلَبَ نَفْسَهُThe strong are not those who defeat people. Rather, the strong are those who defeat their ego.
Hadith 36
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
قَدْ أَفْلَحَ مَنْ أَسْلَمَ وَرُزِقَ كَفَافًا وَقَنَّعَهُ اللَّهُ بِمَا آتَاهُHe has succeeded who embraces Islam, whose provision is sufficient, and whom Allah has made content with what he has given him.Hadith 37
Abu Huraira reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْحَسَدَ فَإِنَّ الْحَسَدَ يَأْكُلُ الْحَسَنَاتِ كَمَا تَأْكُلُ النَّارُ الْحَطَبَ أَوْ قَالَ الْعُشْبَBeware of envy, for it devours good deeds just as fire devours wood or grass.
Hadith 38
Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
تَعَافُوا تَسْقُطُ الضَّغَائِنُ بَيْنَكُمْForgive each other and drop the grudges between yourselves.Al-San’ani commented on this tradition, writing:
الضغائن وهي الحقد والعداوة والحسد فإنها من الكبائر أي أسقطوا ذلك من قلوبكم وطهروها عنهGrudges are malice, enmity, and hatred. Indeed, they are among the great sins, so let them fall away from your hearts and purify your hearts from them.
Hadith 39
Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا تُكْثِرُوا الْكَلَامَ بِغَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الْكَلَامِ بِغَيْرِ ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ قَسْوَةٌ لِلْقَلْبِ وَإِنَّ أَبْعَدَ النَّاسِ مِنْ اللَّهِ الْقَلْبُ الْقَاسِيDo not speak too much without remembering Allah. Verily, too much talking without remembering Allah hardens the heart. The furthest of people from Allah is one with a hard heart.
Hadith 40
Abu Tha’labah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
يَطَّلِعُ اللَّهُ عَلَى عِبَادِهِ لَيْلَةَ النِّصْفِ مِنْ شَعْبَانَ فَيَغْفِرُ لِلْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَيُمْهِلُ الْكَافِرِينَ وَيَدَعُ أَهْلَ الْحِقْدِ بِحِقْدِهِمْ حَتَّى يَدَعُوهُAllah looks down upon his servants in the middle night of Sha’ban. He forgives the believers, he gives respite to the unbelievers, and he abandons the people of malice to their malice until they leave it.
Hadith 41
Abdullah ibn Mas’ud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَا يُبَلِّغُنِي أَحَدٌ عَنْ أَحَدٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِي شَيْئًا فَإِنِّي أُحِبُّ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَيْهِمْ وَأَنَا سَلِيمُ الصَّدْرِLet not one of you mention anything bad to me about my companions, for I love to meet them while my heart is at peace.
Hadith 42
‘Amr ibn Abi Habib reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
خَابَ عَبْدٌ وَخَسِرَ مَنْ لَمْ يَجْعَلِ اللَّهُ فِي قَلْبِهِ رَحْمَةً لِلْبَشَرِA servant has failed and lost if Allah has not placed mercy in his heart towards humanity.
Hadith 43
Abu Sa’id reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
الْقُلُوبُ أَرْبَعَةٌ قَلْبٌ أَجْرَدُ فِيهِ مِثْلُ السِّرَاجِ يُزْهِرُ وَقَلْبٌ أَغْلَفُ مَرْبُوطٌ عَلَى غِلَافِهِ وَقَلْبٌ مَنْكُوسٌ وَقَلْبٌ مُصْفَحٌ فَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْأَجْرَدُ فَقَلْبُ الْمُؤْمِنِ سِرَاجُهُ فِيهِ نُورُهُ وَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْأَغْلَفُ فَقَلْبُ الْكَافِرِ وَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْمَنْكُوسُ فَقَلْبُ الْمُنَافِقِ عَرَفَ ثُمَّ أَنْكَرَ وَأَمَّا الْقَلْبُ الْمُصْفَحُ فَقَلْبٌ فِيهِ إِيمَانٌ وَنِفَاقٌ فَمَثَلُ الْإِيمَانِ فِيهِ كَمَثَلِ الْبَقْلَةِ يَمُدُّهَا الْمَاءُ الطَّيِّبُ وَمَثَلُ النِّفَاقِ فِيهِ كَمَثَلِ الْقُرْحَةِ يَمُدُّهَا الْقَيْحُ وَالدَّمُ فَأَيُّ الْمَدَّتَيْنِ غَلَبَتْ عَلَى الْأُخْرَى غَلَبَتْ عَلَيْهِThere are four kinds of hearts: a polished heart as shiny as a radiant lamp, a sealed heart with a knot tied around it, a heart that is turned upside down, and a heart that is wrapped. As for the polished heart, it is the heart of the believer and its lamp is the light of faith. The sealed heart is the heart of the unbeliever. The heart that is turned upside down is the heart of a pure hypocrite, for he had knowledge but he denied it. As for the heart that is wrapped, it is the heart that contains both faith and hypocrisy. The parable of faith in this heart is the parable of the herb that is sustained by pure water, and the parable of the hypocrisy in it is the parable of an ulcer that thrives upon puss and blood; whichever of the two is greater will dominate.
Hadith 44
Umm Salamah reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي ذَنْبِي وَأَذْهِبْ غَيْظَ قَلْبِي وَأَجِرْنِي مِنْ مُضِلاتِ الْفِتَنِO Allah, forgive my sins, remove the anger in my heart, and protect me from the trials of misguidance.
