Volume 8, Book 76, Number 535:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
While we were in the company of the Prophet in a tent he said, ”Would it please you to be one
fourth of the people of Paradise?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “Would It please you to be one-third of the
people of Paradise?” We said, “Yes.” He said, “Would it please you to be half of the people of
Paradise?” We said, “Yes.” Thereupon he said, “I hope that you will be one half of the people of Para –
dise, for none will enter Paradise but a Muslim soul, and you people, in comparison to the people
who associate others in worship with Allah, are like a white hair on the skin of a black ox, or a black
hair on the skin of a red ox.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet said, “Who among you considers the wealth of his heirs dearer to him than his own
wealth?” They replied, “O Allah’s Apostle! There is none among us but loves his own wealth more.”
The Prophet said, “So his wealth is whatever he spends (in Allah’s Cause) during his life (on good
deeds) while the wealth of his heirs is whatever he leaves after his death.”

The Prophet said, “The best people are those of my generation, and then those who will come after

precede their witness.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet drew a square and then drew a line in the middle of it and let it extend outside the
square and then drew several small lines attached to that central line, and said, “This is the human
being, and this, (the square) in his lease of life, encircles him from all sides (or has encircled him),
and this (line), which is outside (the square), is his hope, and these small lines are the calamities and
troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses him, an-other will snap (i.e. overtake) him, and if
the other misses him, a third will snap (i.e. overtake) him.”

Narrated ‘Abdullah:
The Prophet divided something (among the Muslims) and distributed the shares (of the booty). A
man said, “This division has not been made to please Allah.” When I informed the Prophet about it, he
became so furious that I noticed the signs of anger on his face and he then said, “May Allah bestow
His Mercy on Moses, for he was hurt with more than this, yet he remained patient.”
Volume 8, Book 75, Number 340:
Narrated ‘Abdullah:
We used to say in the prayer: ‘AsSalam be on Allah, As-Salam be on so-and so.’ So one day the
Prophet said to us, “Allah Himself is As-Salam; when anyone of you sits during his prayer, he should
say: ‘At-tah, iyyatu-lillahi,’ up to ‘As-Salihin,’ (All the compliments are for Allah …righteous people)
for when he recites this, then he says his Salam to all the righteous people present in the heavens and
on the earth. Then he should say, ‘I testify that none has the right to be worshipped except Allah, and
that Muhammad is His slave and His Apostle,’ and then he can select whatever he likes to celebrate
(Allah’s) Praises.”
