Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Nabi (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Du’a (supplication) of a slave (of Allah) continues to be accepted. Until he prays for something sinful, or something that severs the ties of kinship; provided he is not impatient. It was asked : O Rasulullah! What is impatience? He said: The slave says: I invoked and indeed I invoked again, but I saw no response. Then he becomes frustrated, and gives up supplication. (Muslim)

It is narrated that Nabi (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: Whosoever sends salawat on me once, Allah will bestow on him ten blessings and ten virtues will be written for him. (Tirmidhi)

Abdullah ibn-Mas’ud (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The closest to me from my Ummah on the Day of Resurrection will be the one who sends salawat on me excessively. (Tirmidhi)

Abu Hurairah (RA) narrates that Nabi (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: There are seven persons whom Allah will cover with His Shade of Mercy on the day when there will be no other shade but His: (1) A just ruler, (2) A young man who grows up worshipping Allah, (3) A man whose heart is attached to the musjid, (4) Two people who love one another for the sake of Allah, meeting thus and separating thus, (5) A man whom a woman of rank and beauty tempts and he says: I fear Allah, (6) A man who gives alms concealing it so that his left hand does not know what his right hand spends, and (7) A man who remembers Allah in solitude with his eyes overflowing. (Bukhari)

Ubadah ibne Samit (RA) narrates: I heard Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: Five times Salaat has been made mandatory by Allah Azza wa Jaal. He who performs his Wudu well, and offers Salaat at the appointed time, performing complete Ruku, and with fear and devotion, for such there is a covenant from Allah that He will forgive him; and the one who does not do so, no covenant for him is with Allah. If He wills, He may forgive him and if He wills, He may punish him. (Abu Dawud)

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked, “O Allah’s Messenger which charity is the most superior in reward?” He replied, “That charity which you practice while you are healthy, niggardly and afraid of poverty and wish to become wealthy. Do not delay it to the time of approaching death and then say, ‘Give so much to such and such, and so much to such and such.’ (And it has already belonged to such and such (his heirs)).” (Bukhari)

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): Allah’s Messenger (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Saum (fasting) is a shield (or a screen or a shelter from the Hell-fire). So, the person observing Saum  should avoid sexual relation with his wife and should not behave foolishly and impudently, and if somebody fights with him or abuses him, he should say to him twice, ‘I am observing Saum.'” The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) added, “By Him in Whose Hands my soul is, the smell coming out from the mouth of a person observing Saum is better with Allah than the smell of musk. (Allah says about the fasting person), ‘He has left his food, drink and desires for My sake. The Saum is for Me. So I will reward (the fasting person) for it and the reward of good deeds is multiplied ten times.'” (Bukhari)

Abu Hurairah (RA) reported from Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) narrating in a Hadith Qudsi that Allah (Azza wa Jaal) said: Spend, (O, man), I shall spend on you. And then Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: The Hand (treasures) of Allah is full, and spending day and night continuously does not effect its fullness. And he said: Do you see, what He has spent since He created the sky and the earth? And His ‘Arsh (Throne) was over the waters. Indeed this has not decreased that which is in His Hand. In His Hand is the Scale (of Justice), whereby He raises and lowers (people). (Bukhari)

Abdullah ibn Abbas (RA) narrates that Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saw a gold ring on the hand of a man; so he removed it and threw it away and said: How can anyone of you want to place a burning coal  in his hand? It was said to the man, after Rasulullah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) had left: Take your ring and benefit thereby. He replied: No! By Allah, I will never take it, as Rasulullah (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him) had thrown it away. (Muslim)
