Virtues and Manners

She neither gave it food or drink when she locked it up nor freed it so that it would eat from the vermin of the earth The most rebellious of people against Allah, Exalted and Glorified, is someone who kills another in the sacred precincts of Allah Avoid this filth, which Allah has prohibited. The one who commits it, let him conceal himself with Allah's concealment and repent to Allah, for, indeed, anyone who exposes his sin to us, we shall enforce the Book of Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, on him May Allah curse the thief who steals an egg and his hand is cut off for that, and he steals a rope and his hand is cut off for that Whoever meets Allah without associating anything with Him, no sin will harm him along with it; and whoever dies while associating partners with Him, no good deed will benefit him along with it Allah Almighty does not sleep, and it is not befitting of Him to sleep Indeed, I am the most God-fearing among you and the most knowledgeable of Allah Indeed, each of you is conversing privately with his Lord, so let not one of you harm another Indeed, a servant may pray a prayer, but nothing of it is recorded for him except a tenth of it, or a ninth, or an eighth, or a seventh, or a sixth, or a fifth, or a quarter, or a third, or a half Wear white clothes, for they are among the best of your clothes; and shroud your deceased in them No Muslim is afflicted with a calamity and then says what Allah has commanded: {We belong to Allah, and to Him we will return} [Surat al-Baqarah: 156], O Allah, reward me in my calamity and replace it for me with something better, except that Allah replaces it for him with something better Leave it, for it is disgraceful What do I have to do with this worldly life? I am in this worldly life like a rider who seeks shade under a tree, then he goes away and leaves it The family of Muhammad (ﷺ) never ate two meals in a day except that one of them was dates The family of Muhammad (ﷺ) never ate their fill of wheat bread for three consecutive nights from the time he arrived in Madīnah until he passed away The bedding of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was made of leather stuffed with palm fiber The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not leave behind at his death a single dirham or dinar, nor a male or female servant, nor anything else—except his white mule, his weapon, a piece of land—which he declared as charity Do not curse him, for by Allah, I know that he loves Allah and His Messenger He who has no integrity has no faith, and he who does not keep his covenant has no religion
