Excellence of proceeding towards the mosque walking for Prayer

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"When you see a man frequenting the mosque, testify that he is a believer because Allah says: `Allah's mosques are visited only by those who believe in Allah and the Last Day.''

[At-Tirmidhi].

Hadith: Merits of Ablution (Wudu)

Uthman bin `Affan (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

I saw the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) performing Wudu' the way I have just done it and said, "He who performs Wudu' like this, his previous sins will be forgiven and his Salat and walking to the mosque will be considered as supererogatory act of worship.''

[Muslim]


Commentary:
Wudu' is a means of remission of minor sins, provided those sins are not related to the rights of people because they too will not be forgiven without penitence and compensating the aggrieved or the wronged.

To perform Wudu' at home before proceeding to the mosque for Salat is highly meritorious. He who does so, will be purged of minor sins. Then his going to the mosque and performance of Salat there, is a means for gaining further reward.

Hadith: Salah (Prayer) in Islam and expiation of past sins

Uthman bin `Affan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying:

"When the time for a prescribed Salah is due and a Muslim performs its Wudu' and its acts of bowing and prostration properly, this Salah will be an expiation for his past sins, so long as he does not commit major sins, and this applies for ever.''

[Muslim]

Commentary:
This Hadith stresses the importance of performing Salat with all its essential prerequisites, i.e., Wudu' and concentration of mind. Such a Salat will expiate the sins.

Hadith: Excellence of Call To Prayer (Adhan) in Islam

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said,

"When you hear the Mu'adhdhin (pronouncing the call to Salat), repeat after him what he says.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].


Commentary:
This Hadith also tells us to repeat the words of Adhan when we hear it. But when he says "Hayya `alas-Salah'' or "Hayya `alal-Falah'' we must say "La hawla wa la quwwata illa billah.''

Hadith: The Excellence of Adhan (call to prayer)

Abdullah bin `Amr bin Al-`As (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:

I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying:

"When you hear the Adhan, repeat what the Mu'adhdhin says. Then ask Allah to exalt my mention because everyone who does so will receive in return ten rewards from Allah. Then beseech Allah to grant me Al-Wasilah, which is a high rank in Jannah, fitting for only one of Allah's slaves; and I hope that I will be that man. If any one asks Al-Wasilah for me, it becomes incumbent upon me to intercede for him.''

[Muslim]

[Muslim]

Remembrance of Allah (Dhikr) morning and evening for protection

Uthman bin Affan (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"He who recites three times every morning and evening: `Bismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma`as-mihi shai'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i, wa Huwas-Sami`ul-`Alim (In the Name of Allah with Whose Name there is protection against every kind of harm in the earth or in the heaven, and He is the All-Hearing and All-Knowing),' nothing will harm him.''

[Abu Dawud and At-Tirmidhi]


Commentary: The prayer cited in this Hadith means that "I seek the Protection of Allah by means of which one can save himself from every vice, whether it is an animal or man, a jinn or Satan because He is Aware of everyone's condition and Capable of hearing everybody's petition. He who comes in His Protection none can harm him, except that which He wills.''

Abu Darda (RA): Be a scholar or a learner, or a person who loves or follows scholars

Be a scholar or a learner, or a person who loves [the scholars] or a follower [of the scholars], but do not be the fifth.

Humayd (one of the reporters) asked Al-Hasan (Al-Basri, who reported this from Abû Al-Dardâ`), “And who is the fifth?” He replied, “A heretic (mubtadi’, religious innovator).”


~ Abu Ad-Darda (RA)

Abu Darda (RA): 3 make me laugh and 3 make me cry

Three make me laugh, and three make me cry.

Those that make me laugh are

1) A person who puts his hopes in this worldly life while death pursues him,

2) A person who is heedless [of his Lord] while [his Lord] is not heedless of him, and

3) A person who always laughs while he does not know whether he has pleased Allâh or angered Him.


What makes me cry is 

1) Being separated from my beloved: Prophet Muhammad (pbuh) and his party (the Companions),

2) The horrors of the time of death, and

3) Standing in front of Allâh ‘azza wa jall on the Day when the secrets will be revealed and I do not know will I then go to Paradise or Hell?”

I would sit with Ibn Mas’ûd a whole year without him saying “Allah’s Messenger – Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – said…” When he did actually say “Allah’s Messenger – Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him – said…” he would tremble and add, “…or something similar to this” or “words to that effect.”

The believer sees his sins as if he is sitting at the foot of a mountain fearing that it might fall on him, while the sinner (fâjir) sees his sins as a fly that lands on his nose, he just waves it away.

Hasan Al-Basri Sayings / Quotes: About knowledge

When a man sought knowledge, it would not be long before it could be seen in his humbleness, his sight, upon his tongue and his hands, in his prayer, in his speech and in his disinterest (zuhd) in worldly allurements.

And a man would acquire a portion of knowledge and put it into practice, and it would be better for him than the world and all it contains – if he owned it he would give it in exchange for the hereafter.

~ Hasan Al-Basri

Hasan Al-Basri: What is Iman (Faith)

It is reported that Al-Hasan Al-Basrî – Allâh have mercy on him – said when asked ‘what is îmân (faith)?’:

It is perseverance (al-sabr) from the things that are forbidden by Allâh the Mighty and Majestic and acceptance.

He was asked, “What is perseverance and acceptance?” He replied,

“al-sabr is to persevere in holding back from what Allâh has forbidden, and [acceptance is] acceptance of what Allâh the Mighty and Majestic has commanded.”

~ Hasan Al-Basri

“The dunyâ distracts and preoccupies the heart and body,

but al-zuhd (asceticism, not giving importance to worldly things) gives rest to the heart and body.

Verily, Allâh will ask us about the halâl things we enjoyed, so what about the harâm!”.

~ Hasan Al-Basri

Hasan Basri Quote: About hypocrisy

it is part of al-nifâq (hypocrisy) to be inwardly different from what you are on the outside, to say one thing and do another and to be different in how you enter and how you leave. And the root of al-nifâq is lying.

~ Hasan Al-Basri

Hadith: Rewards of waiting for Salat (Prayer)

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said,

"Everyone among you will be deemed to be occupied in Salat (prayer) constantly so long as Salat (the prayer) detains him (from worldly concerns), and nothing prevents him from returning to his family but Salat.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
This Hadith tells us the merits of waiting for Salat. As long as a person sits in mosque waiting for Salat, all his time is reckoned as being in the state of Salat and so eligible for the same reward.

One of those present asked: "How can one earn thousand good deeds in a day?''
