SEAT IN HELL:
“Whoever ascribes to me what I have not said then let him occupy his seat in Hell-
fire!” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
EXAMPLE OF A BELIEVER:
“The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction
the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind quietens down, the plant becomes
straight again...” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
PLANT A TREE:
“If a Muslim plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal
eats from it, it is regarded as a charitable gift (sadaqah) for him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
FOR SERVING ANIMALS:
“A man felt very thirsty while he was on the way, there he came across a well. He
went down the well, quenched his thirst and came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog
panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. He said to himself, “This dog
is suffering from thirst as I did.” So, he went down the well again, filled his shoe
with water, held it with his mouth and
watered the dog. Allah appreciated
him for that deed and forgave
him.” The Companions said,
“O Allah’s Messenger! Is there
a reward for us in serving
the animals?” He replied:
“There is a reward for serving
any living being.” (Sahih al-
Bukhari)
WHO FILLS HIS STOMACH:
“Nothing is worse than a person
who fills his stomach. It should
be enough for the son of
Adam to have a few bites
to satisfy his hunger. If he
wishes more, it should
be: One-third for his
food, one-third for his
liquids, and one-third for
his breath.” (Tirmidhi and Ibn
Majah)
