About this Book
I have always seen how Muslims and Non-
Muslims indulge in quoting statements from a
variety of personalities whom they consider as
their ideals. And every time I come across
some of these wisdom filled quotes I was
always reminded of some prophetic traditions
or Qurànic verses that gave the exact same or
similar wisdom, except that it was only 14
centuries earlier. This made me want to
produce a small compilation, selecting a few
out of the numerous wisdom filled quotes of
the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings
be upon him) so as to show the world that the
man who resided in the hearts of Billions in
every era, does so for many reasons, and his
wisdom is definitely one of them.
Thus began my short series which I called “

Pearls of Wisdom” and uploaded bit by bit of it
on my blog www.whytheshariah.blogspot.com
Now I put before you a small collection of

certain wisdom filled quotes from the
prophetic traditions preserved in the books of
hadeeth . Please be informed that I have
avoided explaining or mentioning the multiple
benefits that the scholars have drawn from
one single narration. They have gone as far as
several pages explaining the benefit of just one
narration from the prophet (peace and
blessings be upon him). I could not afford to
quote all of them here for the sake of brevity
and thus I titled every tradition with a
sentence that gave merely one summarized
extraction of the overall benefit.
So if you don’t understand what the hadeeth

says, then look at its heading . And with each
narration we learn something vital.
A small list of 52 pearls of wisdom from the

Prophet definitely doesn’t do justice to this
great soul, but I hope my fellow humans would
read this with an open mind and realize that
there is a lot more to this Man than what the
world wrongly portrays.
I seek help from Allah alone and his favor is

what I ask for. May the peace and blessings of
Allah be upon Noah, Abraham, Moses, Jesus
and Muhammad

01
Speak Carefully
Prophet Muhammad (sallalahu àlayhi

wa sallam) said,
”Do not speak with a statement for

which you may have to apologize
tomorrow.”
[Ref: Musnad Ahmad (23498); Sunan ibn-Maajah

(4171); Saheeh]
02
Do Not Boast About Your

Achievements
Unnecessarily
The prophet (sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam)

said:
“Seek help in meeting your needs by

keeping quiet (and not boasting
around), for everyone who is blessed
is envied (by some or the other in
some or the other way).”
[Ref: Narrated by al-Tabaraani; classed as saheeh by

al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Jaami’ 943. Shaikh Albaanee
showed 5 different routes, out of which one is good]
03
Proceed With Care
Question: Who invented the phrase

prevention is better than cure?
Ans: This is a flawed statement for prevention

of something is not always the solution and
neither is it always a cure. Rather the
appropriate term would be caution or
deliberateness
Did you know 14 centuries ago our prophet

(sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam) said to one of his
companions:
“Indeed there are two traits in you that

Allah loves: Forbearance, and
deliberateness(Arabic: anah).”
Imam nawawi (may allah have mercy on him)
said:
And as for anah (deliberateness), then it is

proceeding with care and exactness and
abandoning haste, and that is reigning oneself
in
Al-Qaadhi ‘Iyaadh said: So al-anaah is to wait

watchfully until one sees the benefits of a
situation, and not to rush.
04
Table Manners
Narrated Jabala:
"While at Medina we were struck with

famine. Ibn Az-Zubair used to provide us
with dates as our food. Ibn Ùmar used to
pass by us and say, "Don't eat two dates
together at a time as the Prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam has forbidden eating two
dates together at a time (in a gathering)
unless one takes the permission of one's
companion brother."
[Ref: Sahih al-Bukhari 2490; Imaam bukhaari labelled

this hadeeth under the chapter: A partner should not
eat two dates at a time” thereby indicating that such a
behaviour is to adopted as good manners even in
situations when there is no famine]
05
Not Breaking Up Families
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said:
Anyone who incites a woman against her

husband is not one of us.
[Ref: Sunan Abi Dawud 2175l saheeh]
06
Prefer Working To Begging
Narrated: Abu Huraira-
Allah's Apostle said, "By Him in Whose Hand

my life is, it is better for anyone of you to
take a rope and cut the wood (from the
forest) and carry it over his back and sell it
(as a means of earning his living) rather
than to ask a person for something and
that person may give him or not."
[Ref: Saheeh al-Bukhaari]
07
Encouraging The
Businessmen To Be
Truthful For The Greater
Good Of Everybody
Including The Society
The prophet (sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam) said:
“The trader who is truthful will be (among)

those seven (categories of people) who will
be under the shadow of the Throne of Allah
the Most High on the Day of Resurrection”.
[Ref: Narrated in Al-Asmaa’ wa Sifaat (p. 371) and Ibn

Hajar classed it Hasan in Fath al-Baari (2/144).]
Islam always takes a balance approach. A lot of

sugar is harmful so,
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings
of Allaah be upon him) also said:
“Merchants (often) are the evildoers.” It

was said: O Messenger of Allaah, has Allaah
not permitted buying and selling? He said:
“Yes, but they speak and tell lies, and they
swear (false) oaths (to fool, betray
customers and gain profit) and sin (as a
result).”
[Ref: Narrated by Ahmad (3/428); al-Haakim (2/8) –

See -Silsilah al-Saheehah (366).]
08
Etiquettes For Entering

Upon Someone
Narrated Jabir Bin Abdillaah (radiyallaahu-

anhuma): I came to the Prophet (sallal-
laahu-alayhi-wasallam) in order to consult
him regarding my father’s debt. When I
knocked at the door, he asked, ”Who is
that?” I replied, ”I.” He said, ”I”, ”I?” He
repeated it as if he disliked it.
It is from good manners that when you knock

upon a door, you don’t merely say: “I” but
identify yourself properly.
09
Do Not Go To Extremes In
Anything
Narrated Anas (Radiallah Anhu): The

Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam saw
an old man walking, supported by his
two sons, and asked about him. The
people informed him that he had vowed
to go on foot (to the Ka`ba). He said,
"Allah is not in need of this old man's
torturing himself," and ordered him to
ride.
[Ref: Sahih al-Bukhari » Book of Penalty of Hunting

while on Pilgrimage » Hadith#1865]
Islam teaches to adopt a moderate path and

this is explicitly narrated by the prophet
(sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam) in a variety of
sayings and actions.
[See Saheeh Muslim Number: 2670 and Sharh Saheeh

Muslim: Vol 16. Page: 180 or page: 220]
10
Hygiene And Its

Importance
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings

be upon him) said: “Cleanliness is half of
faith (Emaan).”
[Ref: Sahih Muslim]
As a Muslim, one knows at-least to some extent the

importance and magnitude of what emaan (faith) has
in the life of a Muslim. Everything revolves around it
and here we see our prophet (sallalahu àlayhi wa
sallam) urge us to be clean and tidy thereby
including hygiene as a part of faith. There are more
such qurànic verses and prophetic narrations which
further illustrate different examples of hygiene and
sanitization but this should suffice for now.
11
Sharing And Dividing The

Food
Abu Moosa al-Ash’ari reported that the

Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said
(encouraging us), “When the
Ash’ariyoon [a tribe from Yemen] run
short of food during an expedition or
when they are at home in Al-Madinah,
they gather all the provisions they
have in a single sheet and then divide
it equally among themselves. They are
of me and I am of them.”
[Ref: al-Bukhari and Muslim]
12
Manner Of Knocking On
Someone's Door
Abdullah ibn Bishr radhiallahu ànhu

narrates, I heard Rasool Allah (sallalahu
àlayhi wa sallam) saying: “ Do not stand
(directly) in front of the doors of
houses, but (rather) stand on either
side of the door to seek permission
[1]. If you are permitted, enter into
the house, otherwise return
[Ref: Majma az-zawaid and Tabraani; Shaykh Al-

Albaanee (may Allah have mercy upon him) said about
this hadeeth, "It was recorded by At-Tabaraanee in 'Al-
Kabeer' from different routes of transmission and one
of them is good." See "Saheeh ut-Targheeb wat-
Tarheeb," #2731. Benefited from authentic hadeeth of
the day page]
[1] By Allah, this is what most of the Muslims where I
have brought up with , do and in fact anyone with
manners does this for it is not appropriate to stand
right in front of the door because when someone
opens the door, it may be that his womenfolk, or
relatives or anyone might be sitting there in a
condition which they wouldn’t want a stranger or
non mehram to see, or perhaps they are eating and it
would be uncomfortable for someone to open the
door and the first thing we know is that we end up
staring or glancing at them or their food or etc. Thus
this pearl from the prophet (sallalahu àlayhi wa
sallam) is something to adopt not only by Muslims
but anyone who wants to be modest and mannerly.
13
The Prophet Would Turn

Completely Towards The
One He Was Talking To
It is known that the prophet sallalahu

àlayhi wa sallam is a role model for us
Muslims and one such action out of the
many which is now widely taught in
programmes and books teaching people
how to behave and communicate with
each other, is something which our
prophet taught us way back
He used to face the person completely

whom he was talking and you will see
how this good manner, underestimated
by millions, is one of the main contents
taught in any book, seminar of human or
social communication tutorials.
14
Do Not Display
Satisfaction At Someone
Else’s Misfortune
The Prophet (sal Allahu alaihi wa sallam)

said, “Do not show joy at the
misfortune of your brother, lest Allah
has mercy on him and afflicts you with
(that or some other) misfortune.”
[Ref: Tirmidhi – Hasan ]
In fact it is a famous tradition from the prophet

(sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam) that he said: “Love for
the people what you love for yourself’ and in
other words: “Treat the people as you would
want to be treated”
15
Do Not Deceive The

Customers Or People In
The Market
Narrated: Abu Huraira The Prophet

(sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam) said, "Do
not practice Najsh (i.e. Do not offer a
high price for a thing which you do not
want to buy, in order to deceive the
people). [1]
[Ref: Saheeh al-Bukhaari, chapter 52, hadeeth

899]
[1] The most well known example is the auction. The

sellers have their own agents or stooges in the crowd
often bidding a higher price so as to raise the value of
that item in the eyes of other bidders and force them
or psychologically convince them of paying more
Likewise is the way of cheaters in every day markets
be it cloth merchants or what have you.
16
Do Not Cut Off Each Other

Unjustly
No believer should offer more for a

thing already bought by his believing
brother (so as to cut him off of that
thing and have it for himself instead).
[Ref: Saheeh al-Bukhaari, chapter 52, hadeeth 899]
17
If Someone Has Been

Engaged A Woman Do Not
Cause Dissent Between
Them And Their Families
By Trying To Break The
Engagement
No Muslim should demand the hand of

a girl already engaged to another
Muslim.
18
Do Not Break Houses For

Personal Gains
A Muslim woman shall not try to bring

about the divorce of her sister (i.e.
another Muslim woman) in order to
take her place herself."
19
Do Not Take Back Your

Gift
Someone who takes back his gift is

like someone who eats his vomit.
[Ref: Al-Arba'een, Shaah Wali Allaah ad-Dehlavi, ad-

Daylami, al-Musnad, 3:73 (hadith no. 3930). See also
al-Munaawi, Kunz al-Haqaa'iq, 1:373]
20
Pay The Wages Before His

Sweat Dries
The greatest of sins near Allah are of.

……And a man who employs someone
to have his work done and does not
pay him his wages
[Ref: Mustadrak al-Haakim Vol 3, Page 538; Sunan al-

Kubra lil Bayhaqi 13330, Hasan]
He. peace and blessings be upon him,

also emphasized on this saying:
“Give the worker his wages before his
sweat dries.”
[Ref: Sunan ibn Maajah, Book 16, Hadith 2537,

Saheeh]
At the same time the prophet sallalahu
àlayhi wa sallam is very balanced and as
Islam
legislates that no one is burdened more
than what it can bear so the prophet
peace and blessings be upon him also
said:
Delay (in the payment of debt) on the

part of a rich man is injustice….
[Ref: Sahih Muslim 1564 a]
"The Messenger of Allah sallalahu àlayhi

wa sallam also said: 'if one who can
afford it (yet) delays repayment, his
honor and punishment become
permissible."'
[Ref: Sunan an-Nasa'i 4689]
Al-Manawi rahimahullah said in Fayd al-

Qadeer:
It is haraam to delay and postpone when

one is able to pay. The command to give
it to him before his sweat dries is a
metaphor for the obligation to pay him as
soon as the job is done, even if he does
not sweat, or if he sweated and it has
dried. End quote.
21
Saving Water Before The

UN & Others Were
Mistakenly Credited For
The Starting Of This Noble
Practice
Abdullah ibn Amr reported: The

Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings
be upon him, passed by Sa’d while he was
performing ablution. The Prophet said,
“What is this extravagance?” Sa’d said,
“Is there extravagance with water in
ablution?” The Prophet said, “Yes,
even if you were on the banks of a
flowing river”
[Ref: Sunan ibn Majah 425]
So as we read, the Prophet peace and blessings be

upon him said that we should avoid extravagance
even if we had a lot of water in our disposal and thus
not waste it by giving the example of a flourishing
water stream.
22
Islam Teaches Planting

Trees And Saving Eco Life
The prophet peace and blessings be upon

him said: 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."
The importance of the eco system which benefits

man and animal in ways beyond being a "mere
shelter" was so much that even during battles, the
only religion to introduce laws and rulings i.e Islam,
prohibited Muslims to burn or damage fields, trees
and other resources like it. This prohibition was in a
time when burning down the fields and the trees and
houses was a norm by Mankind at large irrespective
of their nation or religion.
23
Keep The Public Places

Clean And Avoid Harming
Them
The Messenger of Allah said: 'Beware of

the three things which provoke
curses: Relieving (urinating or
excreting) oneself in watering places,
in places of shade (which the people
use for shade) and in the middle of the
street.'"
[Ref: Sunan ibn Maajah and in other books of Hadeeth]
24
Cleaning The Roadways
The prophet sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam

said: "Removing harmful things from
the road is an act of charity (sadaqah).
[Ref: Books of sunan and saheeh and elsewhere

narrations mention that a man was submitted to
paradise for performing such an act]
25
Wild Life Preservation &

Protection

him said: "Whoever kills a sparrow or
anything bigger than that without a
just cause, Allah will hold him
accountable on the Day of Judgment."
In fact Islam is the ONLY religion to give

more animal rights than any other
civilization or religion ever!
See this article for more such quotes: http://the-

finalrevelation.blogspot.com/2012/09/animal-
rights-in-islam.html
26
A Wise one Learns From

his Mistakes
Abu Hurairah said that the Messenger of

Allah sallallahu alaihi wa sallam said:
“The believer should not be stung
from the same hole twice.”
[Ref: Sunan Ibn Majah 3982]
27
Meet People In A Decent

Or Tidy Way
I (Ibn al-Hanzaliyyah) heard the

Messenger of Allah sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam say: You are coming to your
brethren; so tidy your mounts and
tidy your dress, so that you appear
distinct among people as a beauty
spot (on a body). Allah does not like
obscene words or conduct nor do
intentional committing of obscenity.
[Ref: Sunan abi Dawood (4089), Mustadrak al-Hakim;

Abu Nuàym and elsewhere]
28
Respect The Elderly And

Show Mercy Towards The
Young
The elderly community of any nation is often

considered as the shade of the community
owing to their wisdom, real life experience
and maturity to guide and channel. At the
same time the young form the backbone of the
community and thus the prophet sallalahu
àlayhi wa sallam said:
Whoever does not respect our elders and is

not compassionate (merciful) to our youth,
and does not give our scholars (learned
men) due honour, (he) is not of us.”
[Ref: Ahmad, Hakim and Tabranee]
This is also how our scholars taught us. For
example from the early scholars this incident
comes to mind:
Imam Ali Ibn Mubarak says, “One day, Qadhi

Abu Ya’la said to me, while walking with him,
“If you had walked with someone you honour,
where would you walk?” I replied, “I do not
know.” He said, “Walk to his right. Place him at
the position of the leader in salah (i.e he being
on your left), leave his left side clear, in case
he needs to spit or get rid of dirt.”
[Ref: Dhail-Tabaqatul Hanabilah]
To emphasize the importance of these

manners, Imam An-Nawawi (1233–1277 CE)
in his book Riyadhus Salihin, cited a large
collection of Ahadeeth and devoted an entire
chapter to this subject entitled, “The Chapter
of Respecting Scholars, the Elderly, the
Dignitaries, Giving Them Precedence and the
Best Seat and Acknowledging their Rank.”
29
Haste Is From Satan
Sahl ibn Sa’d reported: The Messenger of

Allah, peace and blessings be upon him,
said, “Clemency is from Allah and
haste is from Satan.”
[Ref: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2012]
How many road accidents take place due

to haste?
30
Visit The Sick And Care

For Them
How lovely is it when your friends and

families come visit you, even when you are
admitted in the hospital or generally unwell?
Islam urges this voluntary act with the highest
of rewards so as to bring people closer to each
other and strengthen their bond. In today’s
time we see a million hits on a video on
youtube of how such and such ill individual
happened to have so many visitors and thus
cheering him up. This basic etiquette and
manner of society was implemented and
highly encouraged long back by our prophet
peace and blessings be upon him as he said:
"Whoever visits a sick person or visits a
brother in Islam, a caller (among the
angels) cries out to him: ‘May you be
happy, may your walking be blessed, and
may you occupy a dignified position in
Paradise’ "
[Ref: Sunan at-tirmidhi, Saheeh]
Whoever visits a sick person is plunging

into mercy (of allah) until he sits down,
and when he sits down he is submerged in
it.”
[Ref: Musnad Ahmad, see al-Silsilah al-

Saheehah, 2504.]
31
Speak Good Or Stay Silent
The Messenger of Allah (peace and

blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Let
him who believes in Allah and the Last
Day speak good, or keep silent;
[Ref: It was related by al-Bukhari and Muslim.]
32
Be Good With Your

Neighbours

blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "let
him who believes in Allah and the Last
Day be generous to his neighbor;
“the best neighbor to Allah is the best

to his neighbors.”
"He will not enter Paradise whose
neighbour is not safe from his evil (or
trouble)
[Ref: Saheeh Muslim]
33
Be Generous (Honourable)
With Your Guests

blessings of Allah be upon him) said
"...and let him who believes in Allah
and the Last Day be generous to his
guest.
34
The Perfect Invocation At

The Perfect Time For The
General Good
Umm Salamah reported: The Prophet,

peace and blessings be upon him, would
say when leaving the house, “In the name
of Allah, I trust in Allah for there is no
power or might but in Allah. Verily, we
seek refuge in you from being
misguided or misguiding others, from
being oppressed or oppressing others,
from behaving foolishly or being
abused.”
This shows that every time one steps out of his
house, he is more prone into coming across and
meeting with people therefore the caution and
seeking refuge in Allah from harming others and
being harmed is also for the greater benefit to the
society and people.
35
Maintaining Personal
Hygiene and it’s virtue

him said: “Five things are from the
Fitra (nature): circumcision, shaving
the pubic region, clipping the nails,
cutting the moustache short and
plucking the armpit hair.
[Ref: Bukhaari and Muslim]
This shows how much emphasis our prophet gave on

one’s personal hygiene when it came to his body
parts as well. Something definitely to learn from.
Many marriage experts recommend this advice to
help the couple feel comfortable and nice with each
other. What people advice today is something our
prophet said centuries ago.
See pearls of wisdom no. 10 from above for another
general hadeeth implying overall hygiene
36
Encouragement To Study
Medical Science
It was narrated that Abu’l-Dardaa’ (may Allaah

be pleased with him) said: the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) said: “Allaah created the disease and
the cure, so treat disease but do not treat it
with anything that is haraam.”
[Ref: Narrated by al-Tabaraani in al-Mu’jam al-

Kabeer, 24/254. This hadeeth was classed as saheeh by
al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah, 1633].
This and many other narrations from the

prophet encourage a person to look into the
treatments or cures for various ailments. In
his lifetime, he also encouraged calling the
doctors and getting ourselves treated from
them. Though this seems to be a de-facto fact
today, yet the importance of a religious leader
encouraging his followers to delve into
Medical science and be of good use to the
society is worth pondering over why he was
sent as a good example to be followed.
At the same time he (peace and blessings be

upon him) also warned from indulging in
forbidden ways (includes bribery, purposely
elongating a patient's case for more money,
etc) while dealing with this field.
37
Fulfillment Of Trust
Especially By The One
Consulted For Advice
The prophet (sallalahu àlayhi wa sallam) said:
The one who is consulted (for advice) is

entrusted
[Ref: Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 256; the context of this

statement of the prophet can be read from this
hadeeth: http://sunnah.com/adab/13/1]
Not only did our Prophet remind the one

giving the advice but he also laid down certain
symptoms, which will all the more refrain a
Muslim from breaching anyone's trust
The signs of the hypocrite are three: when
he speaks, he lies; when he makes a
promise, he breaks it; and when he is
entrusted with something, he betrays that
trust.”
[Ref: Narrated by al-Bukhari, 33; Muslim, 59]
And he peace and blessings be upon him also

said "he is not one of us who betrays the
trust."
38
The Importance Of An
Oral Promise
It is reported that the prophet (sallalahu

àlayhi wa sallam) said:
A promise made by the believer orally

is as strong (and binding on him) as a
promise that he makes by striking his
hand (on the hand of other person –
this was a gesture of absolute
agreement or finalization of a treaty
or promise back then).
[Ref: Shaykh Yaseen al-Fadani narrated this in

On page 71; also reported by Shah Muhaddith dhelvi in
his Àrbaeen via his sanad back to Abu Taahir – Zayn
al-Àbideen - `Hussain - Àli. Daylami also brought this
in Musnad Firdous as said in Kanz ul-Ùmmal (3/617);
See Jaami` as-sagheer page 59 or this:
http://www.ghrib.net/vb/showthread.php?t=13048&s
=5bae68ac6fd89398df1005229805f344 for details]
39
Feeding Is One Of The Best

Parts Of Islam
When asked: 'What part of Islaam is the

best?' The Messenger -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam- replied:
'That you feed people, and give Salaam

(greetings of peace) to the one whom
you know and the one whom you do
not know. [1]'
[Collected by Bukhari & Muslim]
[1] A point to be noted here is that usually people

tend to greet only those whom they know, however
the salutation or invocation of Allah's peace upon
someone is so precious that the prophet adviced
Muslims to spread this beautiful invocation with
everyone
40
One Should Be Friendly

With The People
From Sahl bin Sa’d in a narration

ascribed to the Prophet: -sallAllaahu
alayhi wa sallam:
“The believer is friendly, there is no

good in the one who does not take
friends and cannot be befriended.”
[Ref: Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah No.425]
41
Islam Teaches Taking

Precaution
Allah says: “..and let them pray with you,.

Taking precaution and carrying their
arms. ….. but take precaution." [Quràn
4:101]
Anas ibn Malik reported: A man said, “O

Messenger of Allah, should I tie my
camel and trust in Allah, or should I
untie her and trust in Allah?” The
Messenger of Allah, peace and
blessings be upon him, said, “Tie her
and trust in Allah.”
[Ref: Sunan At-Tirmidhi 2517; Book 37, Hadith 2707]
So if a Muslim follows this with regards to his car's
seat belt, or vaccination he will be rewarded for
following the sunnah as well the religion's command.
42
Sneezing Manners
Abu Huraira (radhi Allahu anhu)

narrated that when the Prophet
(sallAllahu alayhi wassallam) would
sneeze, he would cover his face with
his hand or with his garment, and
muffle the sound with it.
[Ref: Jamià Tirmidhi Book 43, Hadith 2969

Etiquette Of Joint
Conversation
“ When three of you are together, two

of you must not converse privately
ignoring the third until the number
increases, lest the third should be
grieved. “
[Ref: Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
44
How To Treat Relatives

With Hidden Enmity
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

said:
The best charity given is to a relative
who hides his enmity.
[Ref: Mustadrak al-Hakim, Ahmad, Saheeh]
Gifts, and aid given to an enemy is more likely to

change him than harshness and other similar means
such as ignorance and boycott. As we said, our
Prophet has left behind numerous pearls of wisdoms
and teachings which we only need to explore.
45
Doing Good Should Not

Harm You
The Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam

said:
(interp.) The best of charity is given by
one who after giving it, remains self-
sufficient.
[Ref: Sunan Abi Dawood, Muslim]
In Another narration he said: One of you

brings all that he possesses and says:
This is sadaqah. Then he sits down
and spreads his hand before the
people [i.e. begging]. The best
Sadaqah is that which leaves a
competence
[Ref: Abu Dawood (1673), Al-Darmi 1/391), Ibn
Khuzaymah (1/247) and others]
Many a times we see people cherish the idea of a man

giving everything he has and eventually himself then
becoming the subject of need/poverty or sympathy.
Our Religion always asks us to be balanced. Doing
good is highly recommended but our prophet taught
us that the best way to do good is to do it in a way
which does not leave you bankrupt or dependent or
harmed after donating to someone.
46
Honoring Your Womenfolk

Especially Your Maternal
& Paternal Aunts
The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu àlayhi

wa sallam) said: The greatest of sins near
Allah are of:
1) A man who marries a girl and after

having his desire fulfiled (from her)
divorces her and (along with that)
deprives her of her mahr (bridal
dowry given by every man to his
spouse)
[Ref: Mustadrak al-Haakim Vol 3, Page 538; Sunan al-
Kubra lil Bayhaqi 13330, Hasan, See women rights
ONLY in Islam:
http://www.whytheshariah.blogspot.com/search/labe
l/Women%20in%20Islam ]
The Prophet - sallAllaahu àlayhi wa

sallam - stood amongst the people and
praised Allaah and exalted Him and said:
'Indeed Allaah advices you in the

strongest possible terms to be good to
women, indeed Allaah advices you in
the strongest possible terms to be
good to women, advices you in the
strongest possible terms with regards
to women, indeed they are your
mothers, your daughters, your sisters,
your paternal aunts (father's sisters)
and your maternal aunts(mother's
sisters). Indeed a man from the people
of the two books (Jews & Christians)
marries a woman and does not hit her,
each one of them continues to desire
his companion until he dies in old
age.'
[Ref: Tareekh ad-Dimishq Ibn Àsaakir]

Being Thankful & Grateful

To Those Who Benefit Or
Help You
The messenger of Allah, peace is upon

him, said:
"He who was given a gift and was able
to reward for it (by re gifting) let him
do so, and he who was not able to
reward for it let him praise [the
giver] for that he who praised has
been thankful."
[Ref: Jami` at-Tirmidhi]
The Messenger of Allaah (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) also
said: “Whoever has a favor done for
him and says to the one who did it,
‘Jazak Allaahu khayran (May allah
reward you with goodness),’ has done
enough to thank him.”
[Ref: Narrated by al-Tirmidhi (1958) and by al-Nasaa’i

in al-Sunan al-Kubra (6/53); classed as saheeh by al-
Albaani in Saheeh al-Tirmidhi.]
48
Console The Sick & Needy
It was narrate from Abu Sa'eed al Khudri

that the Prophet sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam said:
"When you enter upon one who is sick,

cheer him up and give him hope of a
long life, for that does not change
anything (of the Divine Decree), but it
will cheer the heart of the one who is
sick."
Dhaeef check sunan ibn majah
49
Encouragement To Work
Or Assist The Employees
Imam Al-Bukhari narrated in his book, al-

Adab al-Mufrad, from Nafi` bin Àsim
who heard Àbdullah bin Àmr say to his
nephew who exited a place of land
called, al-Waht, (a large orchard that
belonged to the father of Àbdullah ibn
Àmr namely Àmr ibn al-Àas), "Are
your workers working?" He replied, "I
do not know." Àbdullah said, "If you
were educated, you would know what
your workers are doing." Àbdullah
then looked at us and said, "If a man
works with his workers in his home
(or in his wealth), he will be
considered among those who work in
Allah's Cause."
[Ref: This statement is elevated to the status of a
prophetic saying as per the principles of hadeeth; Adab
al-Mufrad]
50
The Soundness Of A Soul

Lies In His Heart
Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon

him) said, "Beware! There is a piece of
flesh in the body. If it becomes good,
the whole body becomes good but if it
gets spoiled, the whole body gets
spoiled, and beware, that is the heart."
[Ref” This hadeeth is from Saheeh al Bukhari]
51
Do Not Block The Roads

For Your Personal Needs
Marwaan ibn Muàwiyah narrated to us

from Humayd from Anas ibn maalik
who said,
"A woman met the Prophet on one of the

streets of Madeenah and said,
'Messenger of Allah, I have a request
that I would like you to fulfill for me.'
He said to her, 'Mother of so-and-so,
sit on any side of the street you choose
and I will sit with you [and listen to
your request].' So she sat down and
Allah's Messenger also sat with her
and [attentively listened to] what she
wanted to say to him."'
[Ref: Musnad Ahmad, Vol. 3, p. 11 9. Saheeh]
52
Do Not Stare At People

With Apparent Diseases
The Messenger of Allah (sallalahu àlayhi

wa sallam): "Do not keep looking at
those who have leprosy."
[Ref: Book 31, Hadith 3672
