محمد بن عبد الله صلى الله عليه وآله

The Prophet (a.s) said: “One of the things that people have learned from the early Prophets' words is that you can do anything you wish if you have no shame.” Abu al-Tay'yeb said: “This does not mean that you are free to do whatever you wish. But it is a threat and implies that you should be pious. Do whatever you want to do, but you will soon be punished in the Hereafter.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “The wisest men are those who treat the people with kindness. The strongest men are the ones who best quench their anger.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “God will marry off Heavenly Hurri's to you in whatever manner you please if you restrain your anger, patiently fight in the way of God, and do not use illegitimately obtained wealth.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Assisting the weak is the best form of charity.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Whenever the head of a tribe comes to visit you, you should highly respect him.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “When you go to bed at night evaluate what you have earned during the day and what you have eaten. Remember that you will die and you will be resurrected.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Whoever does not have an inner guide in his heart, and an inner force which would hinder his soul, and does not have a guiding companion will be overcome by his enemy.”

Masaedat ibn Sadaqih said that Imam Sadiq (a.s) was questioned about the Prophet's statement: “The best form of Jihad -holy war- is expressing what is just in the presence of an oppressive ruler.” Imam Sadiq (a.s) said: “This act will only be accepted of him if his enjoining the right is based on knowledge, otherwise it is not accepted.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “The world is a prison for a believer. Are there any prisons in which there is any good?”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “The reward of a believer who associates with the people and bears with their harassment is more than one who does not participate in public gatherings and does not put up with their hassles.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “Do not seek the flaws of the believers, since then God will seek your flaws, and cause you public disgrace even if you are at home.”

God's Prophet (a.s) said: “God will not punish in the Fire anyone who is Muslim for sixty years. God will protect anyone who is Muslim for seventy years from the painful punishment. God will not do the reckoning for any one who is a Muslim for eighty years.”

The Prophet (a.s) said: “Anyone who becomes friends with others for the sake of God, will attain a rank in Heaven.”

The Noble Prophet (a.s) said: “A man from among my nation goes to the bazaar, and buys a shirt-like dress for a half or a third of a Dinar, and praises God whenever he wears it. His sins are forgiven before this dress reaches down to his knees.”

The Noble Prophet (a.s) said: “Whenever a believer gets full, stops eating and drinking and praises God, God grants him the reward of one who fasts. God is Grateful and loves to be praised.”

“The people will live in prosperity as long as they cooperate with each other in enjoining the right and forbidding the wrong. However, once they stop doing so, their blessings will be taken away from them, and some will rule over others, and they will have no helpers in the heavens or on the Earth.”

“Keep yourself hungry, your faces uncovered, your hair not made up, and be sad. Associate less with the people and more with God. Then you may see God through your hearts.”

“The people will be resurrected thirstier, hungrier and more naked than when they lived. God will give those who have given any clothing to believers heavenly robes, and will feed those who have fed any believers with heavenly blessings, and will give anyone who has given believers anything to drink heavenly drinks.”

“We find in (Imam) Ali ibn Abitalib's (a.s) book that God's Prophet (a.s) used to say the following when he gave a sermon on the mosque pulpit: “I swear by God who has no partners that no good of this world or the Hereafter has been granted to any believer, except due to his good opinion about God, his good behavior, and his avoidance of gossiping and slandering. And I swear by God who has no partners that God will not punish anyone after repentance and seeking forgiveness except due to his bad opinion about God, insufficient hope in God, bad behavior, and gossiping about believers. I swear by God who has no partners that there are no believers who have a good opinion about God and receive anything less than they expect from Him. This is so since God is Benevolent and has authority over all that is good, and is ashamed of one of his servants having a good opinion about Him and He acting otherwise. Therefore have a good opinion about God and be inclined to Him.”

“Bravo to this house. What has increased your status and your respect in the sight of God? I swear to God that a believer is more respected in God's sight than you are since God has only forbidden one thing regarding you, but has forbidden three things regarding a believer: taking his property, shedding his blood, and having being suspicion about him.”
