10 Hadith From Riyadus Saleheen # 117,118,121,122,123,128,129,131,140,141

117. Abu Dharr Jundub ibn Junada said, "I asked, 'Messenger of Allah, which action is the best?' He replied, 'Belief in Allah and jihad in His way.' I said, 'What is the best kind of setting free?' He replied, 'That of the person most valued in the eyes of his people and the one with the highest price.' I asked, 'What if I cannot do that?' He replied, 'Help the poor or those who cannot do anything for themselves.' I said, 'Messenger of Allah, what about someone who is too weak to do anything?' He said, 'Withhold your evil from other people. That is sadaqa from you to yourself.'" [Agreed upon] 

 

118. Abu Dharr also reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Sadaqa is owed by every joint you have. Every glorification is sadaqa. Every praise is sadaqa. Every 'la ilaha illa'llah' is sadaqa. Commanding the right is sadaqa. Forbidding the wrong is sadaqa. Praying the two rak'ats of Duha (the forenoon) takes care of all that." [Muslim] 

 

121. Abu Dharr said, "The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, told me, 'Do not consider anything correct insignificant, even meeting your brother with a happy face." [Muslim] 

 

122. Abu Hurayra said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Sadaqa is owed by every limb people have. Every day on which the sun rises in which someone establishes justice between two people is sadaqa. To help a man with his animal and help him onto it is sadaqa. Or to lift his goods onto it is sadaqa. A good word is sadaqa. Every step you take to the prayer is sadaqa. Removing an obstacle from the road is sadaqa." [Agreed upon] Muslim also related it with the variant of 'A'isha: "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Allah created three hundred and sixty joints in every one of the children of Adam. Whoever says "Allahu akbar", praises Allah, says "There is no god but Allah", glorifies Allah, asks Allah's forgiveness, removes a stone or a thorn or a bone from people's path, or commands something right or forbids something wrong, has accounted for the whole three hundred and sixty. In the evening of that day, he has moved himself away from the Fire.'"


 

 123. Abu Hurayra reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah will prepare hospitality in the Garden for anyone who goes to the mosque morning and evening for each morning and evening that they go." [Agreed upon] 


 

128. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Anyone who does wudu' thoroughly, then goes to Jumu'a, listens and is silent, will be forgiven until the next Jumu'a and three days more. Whoever plays with pebbles has wasted it." [Muslim] 

 

129. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When a Muslim or believer does wudu' and washes his face, he removes from his face with the water, or with the last drop of water, every wrong action which he looked at with his eye. When he washes his hands, he removes from his hands with the water, or with the last drop of water, every wrong action which he did with his hands. When he washes his feet, he removes from his feet with the water, or with the last drop of water, every wrong action which he walked to with his feet, until he emerges free of wrong actions." [Muslim] 

 

131. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Shall I tell you something by which Allah will wipe out wrong actions and raise up degrees?" They said, "Yes indeed, Messenger of Allah." He said, "Doing wudu' thoroughly, even in times of difficulty, taking many steps to the mosque and waiting for the prayer after praying the previous one. That is what you should hold to."[Muslim] 


 

140. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah is pleased with His slave who eats a morsel and praises Allah for it or takes a drink and praises Allah for it." [Muslim] 

 

141. Abu Musa reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Every Muslim should give sadaqa." He said, "What about if someone has nothing to give?" He said, "He should get work and earn something and give sadaqa." He said, "And if is unable to do that?" He said, "He should help someone in need." He said, "What if he cannot find anyone?" He said, "He should command what is right or good." He said, "What if he cannot do that?" He said, "He should refrain from evil. That is sadaqa for him." [Agreed upon]
