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.

Hadith Of The Day

The messenger of Allah (ﷺ) "Whichever woman seeks a Khul (Divorce) from her husband without ham (cause), then the scent of Paradise will be unlawful for her." At-Tirmidhi 1187, authenticated by Shaykh aal-Albaanee)

This hadith highlights the importance of the seriousness of marriage in Islam and discourages seeking divorce without valid reasons. The reference you provided from At-Tirmidhi 1187 (authenticated by Shaykh al-Albani) conveys a warning that if a woman seeks a khul', a type of divorce initiated by the wife, without legitimate cause or reason (ghayr sabab), she may be deprived of the scent of Paradise, which is a metaphor for losing the blessings of the hereafter.

In Islam, while divorce is permissible, it is discouraged unless necessary due to harm, abuse, or irreconcilable differences. Both men and women have rights to divorce, but they are cautioned to handle it responsibly, avoiding injustice or frivolous causes. The concept here is to ensure that divorce is not treated lightly and that the sanctity of marriage is upheld unless there are serious issues.

Two Muslims meet when Allah forgiven their sins

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, 

"Two Muslim will not meet and shake hands without having their sins forgiven (by Allah ) before they depart." 

[Abu Dawud ,riyad as-salihin 887, authenticated by shaykh Al-Albaanee] 

This hadith emphasizes the spiritual benefit of the simple act of greeting one another with a handshake. The Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) teaches that when two Muslims meet and shake hands, their sins are forgiven before they part ways. This illustrates how small, sincere gestures of brotherhood and unity in Islam can have profound spiritual rewards.

The handshake, when accompanied by genuine warmth and a sense of goodwill, serves as an act of humility and connection between believers. It strengthens bonds and fosters a sense of community, with the added blessing of being a means of expiation of sins. This hadith encourages Muslims to engage in such acts of kindness and reminds them that Allah’s mercy extends even to the smallest of good deeds.

Hadith of the day

Hadith of the day 

Narrated Jabir (رضي الله عنه): "Never was the Prophet (ﷺ) asked for a thing to be given for which his answer was 'no'."

 Narrated Anas (رضي الله عنه): "I served the Prophet (ﷺ) for ten years, and he never said to me, 'Uf' (a minor harsh word denoting impatience) and never blamed me by saying, 'Why did you do so or why didn't you do so?'"

These Hadiths reflect the Prophet Muhammad’s (ﷺ) kindness, patience, and generosity towards others.

Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is widely known for his exemplary character, especially in his kindness, patience, and generosity. His actions and teachings serve as a model of compassion, humility, and forbearance for Muslims. Some key aspects of his kindness and patience include:

1. Kindness towards others: The Prophet (ﷺ) always treated people with utmost respect, regardless of their social status, religion, or background. He showed immense care for the poor, orphans, and marginalized members of society.

2. Patience in adversity: Throughout his life, Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) endured many hardships, from persecution to personal losses. Despite these challenges, he remained patient and calm, never retaliating with harshness or bitterness.

3. Generosity: The Prophet (ﷺ) was generous in both material possessions and spirit. He often gave away what little he had to help those in need and never turned away a person asking for assistance. His generosity was not just in wealth but also in how he gave time, attention, and kindness to those around him.

The Hadiths mentioned in the image perfectly illustrate his patience, even in mundane matters like personal service, and his generosity in never refusing someone’s request. These qualities have become an ideal for Muslims to strive for in their own lives.
