Verily, one of the worst lies is to claim falsely...

Hadith of the day 

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "Verily, one of the worst lies is to claim falsely to be the son of someone other than one's real father, or to claim to have had a dream one has not had, or to attribute to me what I have not said."

 [Sahih al-Bukhari 3509]

Worldly life is a prison for the believer

Hadith of the day

 Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The world is the believer's prison and the infidel's Jannah". 

[Muslim, riyad as-salihin 470]

Balance in marital relationships.

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, 

"A believer must not hate(his wife) believing women; if he dislikes one of her characteristics he will be pleased with another".

(Muslim, riyad as-salihin 275)

This hadith from Sahih Muslim highlights the importance of patience and balance in marital relationships. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) advises that a believer should not harbor hatred towards his wife or any believing woman because of a specific characteristic that he may find displeasing. Instead, he is encouraged to recognize and appreciate other positive traits she possesses. This teaching promotes compassion, understanding, and a balanced perspective in relationships, encouraging believers to focus on the good qualities rather than dwelling on the faults of their spouses.

It is a reminder to approach relationships with tolerance and gratitude, rather than focusing on imperfections.

The value of being polite

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, 

Shall I not tell you whom the (Hell) Fire is forbidden to touch ? It is forbidden to touch a man who is always accessible, having polite and tender nature."

[At-Tirmidhi]

In this hadith from At-Tirmidhi, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) teaches that a person who is kind, approachable, and gentle in nature is protected from the punishment of Hellfire. The hadith emphasizes the value of being polite, easygoing, and having a tender demeanor in interactions with others.

These traits, such as being accessible, patient, and kind-hearted, are highly regarded in Islam because they reflect a person’s humility and compassion towards others. Such individuals are considered to embody the Islamic ideal of good character (akhlaq), which plays a crucial role in earning Allah’s pleasure and avoiding the torments of Hell. This hadith encourages believers to strive for kindness and gentleness in their daily lives.

Allah excuses and grants forgiveness to a person

Hadith of the day

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Allah excuses and grants forgiveness to a person until he attains the age of sixty years". 

[Al-Bukhari, riyad as-salihin n°112]

Worship Allah, and never associate anything with Him

Hadith of the day 

Abu Hurairah reported: A bedouin came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Direct me to a deed by which I may be entitled to enter Jannah." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Worship Allah, and never associate anything with Him, establish Salat, pay the Zakat which has been enjoined upon you, and observe Saum of Ramadan." He (the bedouin) said: "By Him in Whose Hand my soul is, I will never add anything to these (obligations)." When he turned his back, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who wants to see a man from the dwellers of Jannah, let him look at him (bedouin)."

 [Al- Bukhari and Muslim, riyad as-salihin 1212]

This hadith reflects the simplicity and core pillars of faith in Islam as explained by the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ). A Bedouin sought guidance on how to enter Jannah (Paradise), and the Prophet (ﷺ) listed the essential obligations of Islam: worshiping Allah without associating partners (Tawhid), performing the five daily prayers (Salat), paying Zakat (charity), and fasting during Ramadan. These acts form the foundation of a Muslim's practice.

When the Bedouin affirmed that he would neither add nor subtract from these obligations, the Prophet (ﷺ) praised him, indicating that fulfilling these core duties with sincerity can lead to Paradise. The Prophet's comment about the Bedouin being a "man from the dwellers of Jannah" shows that consistency and devotion to these basic Islamic practices can secure a person’s place in the Hereafter.

This hadith underscores the importance of fulfilling the core obligations in Islam, while also highlighting the mercy of Allah for those who remain steadfast in these essential acts.
