Abu Hurairah reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying:
انْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلَ مِنْكُمْ وَلَا تَنْظُرُوا إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوْقَكُمْ فَهُوَ أَجْدَرُ أَنْ لَا تَزْدَرُوا نِعْمَةَ اَللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ
“Look at those who stand at a lower level than you but don’t look at those who stand at a higher level than you, for that is better-suited that you do not disparage Allah’s favors.”
Sahih Muslim (2963)
اللَّهُمَّ لَا سَهْلَ إِلاَّ ما جَعَلْتَهُ سَهْلاً، وأنْتَ تَجْعَلُ الحَزْنَ إذَا شِئْتَ سَهْلاً
O Allah! There is no ease except that which You make easy, and You make difficult things easy if You will.
Narrated by Al-Bayhaqi in Al-Da’awat Al-Kabir (266) and Ibn Hibban (974).
Daripada Ummu Salamah R.anha, bahawa Nabi ﷺ bersabda:
إِذَا حَضَرْتُمُ الْمَرِيضَ، أَوِ الْمَيِّتَ، فَقُولُوا خَيْرًا، فَإِنَّ الْمَلَائِكَةَ يُؤَمِّنُونَ عَلَى مَا تَقُولُونَ
Maksudnya: “Apabila kamu menghadiri (menziarahi) orang sakit atau jenazah, maka ucapkanlah perkara-perkara yang baik. Ini kerana, malaikat akan mengaminkan setiap yang kamu ucapkan.”
Riwayat Muslim (919)
اللَّهُمَّ أَصْلِحْ لِي دِينِيَ الَّذِي هُوَ عِصْمَةُ أَمْرِي وَأَصْلِحْ لِي دُنْيَاىَ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَاشِي وَأَصْلِحْ لِي آخِرَتِي الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعَادِي وَاجْعَلِ الْحَيَاةَ زِيَادَةً لِي فِي كُلِّ خَيْرٍ وَاجْعَلِ الْمَوْتَ رَاحَةً لِي مِنْ كُلِّ شَرٍّ
Maksudnya: ” Ya Allah, perbaikilah agamaku sebagai benteng urusanku, perbaikilah duniaku yang menjadi tempat kehidupanku, perbaikilah akhiratku yang menjadi tempat kembaliku, jadikanlah Ya Allah kehidupan ini mempunyai nilai tambah bagiku yang memberikan segala kebaikan dan jadikanlah kematianku sebagai kebebasan dari segala kejahatan.”
Riwayat Muslim (2720)
Daripada Abdullah bin ‘Amru, dari Nabi ﷺ baginda bersabda:
يُقَالُ يَعْنِي لِصَاحِبِ الْقُرْآنِ اقْرَأْ وَارْتَقِ وَرَتِّلْ كَمَا كُنْتَ تُرَتِّلُ فِي الدُّنْيَا فَإِنَّ مَنْزِلَتَكَ عِنْدَ آخِرِ آيَةٍ تَقْرَأُ بِهَا
Maksudnya: “Pada hari pengadilan kelak akan diseru kepada (sohibul Quran) ahli Al-Quran; Teruskanlah bacaan al-Quran mu dan teruskanlah menaiki tingkat demi tingkat syurga dan bacalah dengan tartil sebagaimana kamu membacanya ketika di dunia, sesungguhnya tempat terakhirmu ada pada ayat terakhir yang kamu baca.”.
Riwayat al-Tirmizi (2914)
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ جَهْدِ الْبَلَاءِ وَدَرَكِ الشَّقَاءِ وَسُوءِ الْقَضَاءِ وَشَمَاتَةِ الْأَعْدَاءِ
Meaning: “O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the difficulty of trials, from the misery of adversity, from the evil of fate, and from the joy of enemies.”
Sahih al-Bukhari (6347)
Narrated Abu Hurairah RA, The Prophet ﷺ said:
لَيْسَ الْغِنَى عَنْ كَثْرَةِ الْعَرَضِ ، وَلَكِنَّ الْغِنَى غِنَى النَّفْسِ
“Wealth is not in having many possessions, but rather (true) wealth is feeling sufficiency in the soul.”
Sahih al-Bukhari (6446)
Abu Hurairah RA reported Allah’s Messenger ﷺ as saying:
أتَدْرُونَ مَنْ الْمُفْلِسُ قَالُوا الْمُفْلِسُ فِينَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنْ لَا لَهُ دِرْهَمَ وَلَا دِينَارَ وَلَا مَتَاعَ قَالَ الْمُفْلِسُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ مَنْ يَأْتِي بِصَلَاةٍ وَصِيَامٍ وَزَكَاةٍ وَيَأْتِي قَدْ شَتَمَ عِرْضَ هَذَا وَقَذَفَ هَذَا وَأَكَلَ مَالَ هَذَا وَضَرَبَ هَذَا فَيُقْعَدُ فَيَقْتَصُّ هَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ وَهَذَا مِنْ حَسَنَاتِهِ فَإِنْ فَنِيَتْ حَسَنَاتُهُ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُقْضَى مَا عَلَيْهِ أُخِذَ مِنْ خَطَايَاهُمْ فَطُرِحَ عَلَيْهِ ثُمَّ طُرِحَ فِي النَّارِ
Do you know who is poor? They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: A poor man amongst us is one who has neither dirham with him nor wealth. He (the Holy Prophet) said: The poor of my Umma would be he who would come on the Day of Resurrection with prayers and fasts and Zakat but (he would find himself bankrupt on that day as he would have exhausted his funds of virtues) since he hurled abuses upon others, brought calumny against others and unlawfully consumed the wealth of others and shed the blood of others and beat others, and his virtues would be credited to the account of one (who suffered at his hand). And if his good deeds fall short to clear the account, then his sins would be entered in (his account) and he would be thrown in the Hell-Fire.
Sahih Muslim (2581)
The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said:
دَعْوَةُ الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمِ لأَخِيهِ بِظَهْرِ الْغَيْبِ مُسْتَجَابَةٌ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ مَلَكٌ مُوَكَّلٌ كُلَّمَا دَعَا لأَخِيهِ بِخَيْرٍ قَالَ الْمَلَكُ الْمُوَكَّلُ بِهِ آمِينَ وَلَكَ بِمِثْلٍ
“The supplication of a Muslim for his brother at his back (in his absence) is responded so long as he makes a supplication for blessings for his brother and the commissioned Angel says: Amen, and says: May it be for you too.”
Sahih Muslim (2733)
Allah says in Quran:
وَمَن يَتَّقِ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡعَل لَّهُۥ مَخۡرَجٗا
And whosoever fears Allāh and keeps his duty to Him, He will make a way for him to get out (from every difficulty).
Surah At-Talaaq: Ayah 2
