The Clarification of the Many Paths of Good

Whoever does an atom’s weight of good will see it; (az- Zalzalah 99:7)

 

76. Abu Dharr, may Allah be pleased with him, said, “The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, told me, ‘Do not consider anything correct insignificant, even meeting your brother with a happy face.” (Sahih Muslim, Birr, 144).
77. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “O Muslim women! No one should look down on a gift from her neighbor, even if it is only a sheep’s trotter.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Hiba, 1, Adab, 30; Sahih Muslim, Zakah, 90).

 

78. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Belief has over sixty branches. The best of them is the words, La ilaha illallah (There is no deity but Allah) and the least of them is to remove an obstacle from the road.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Iman, 3; Sahih Muslim, Iman, 58).

 

81. Abu Hurayra, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Shall I tell you something by which Allah will wipe out wrong actions and raise up degrees?” They said, “Yes indeed, O Messenger of Allah.” He said, “Doing wudu thoroughly, even in times of difficulty, taking many steps to the mosque and waiting for the Prayer after praying the previous one. That is what you should hold to.” (Sahih Muslim, Taharah, 41)
82. Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No Muslim plants something without what is eaten from it being sadaqa for him. Even what is stolen from it is sadaqa for him, and no one visits it without that being sadaqa for him.” (Sahih Muslim, Musaqat, 10).

 

84. Abu Musa al-Ash’ari, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Every Muslim should give sadaqa.” He said, “What about if someone has nothing to give?” He said, “He should get work and earn something and give sadaqa.” He said, “If is unable to do that?” He said, “He should help someone in need.” He said, “What if he cannot find anyone?” He said, “He should command what is right or good.” He said, “What if he cannot do that?” He said, “He should refrain from evil. That is sadaqa for him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Zakah, 30; Sahih Muslim, Zakah, 55).
