Hadith 1: Intention (an-Niyyah)
It
is narrated on the authority of Amirul Mu'minin, Abu Hafs 'Umar bin al-Khattab,
radiyallahu 'anhu, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi
wasallam, say:
"Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each
man will have what he intended. Thus, he whose migration (hijrah) was to Allah
and His Messenger, his migration is to Allah and His Messenger; but he whose
migration was for some worldly thing he might gain, or for a wife he might
marry, his migration is to that for which he migrated."
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Hadith 2: Foundation
of the Sunnah
Also
on the authority of 'Umar, radiyallahu 'anhu, who said:
"While we were one day sitting with the Messenger of
Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, there appeared before us a man dressed in
extremely white clothes and with very black hair. No traces of journeying were
visible on him, and none of us knew him.
He sat down close by the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi
wasallam, rested his knee against his thighs, and said, O Muhammad! Inform me
about Islam." Said the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam,
"Islam is that you should testify that there is no deity save Allah and
that Muhammad is His Messenger, that you should perform salah (ritual prayer),
pay the zakah, fast during Ramadan, and perform Hajj (pilgrimage) to the House
(the Ka'bah at Makkah), if you can find a way to it (or find the means for
making the journey to it)." Said he (the man), "You have spoken
truly."
We were astonished at his thus questioning him and
telling him that he was right, but he went on to say, "Inform me about
iman (faith)." He (the Messenger of Allah) answered, "It is that you
believe in Allah and His angels and His Books and His Messengers and in the
Last Day, and in fate (qadar), both in its good and in its evil aspects."
He said, "You have spoken truly."
Then
he (the man) said, "Inform me about Ihsan." He (the Messenger of
Allah) answered, " It is that you should serve Allah as though you could
see Him, for though you cannot see Him yet He sees you." He said,
"Inform me about the Hour." He (the Messenger of Allah) said,
"About that the one questioned knows no more than the questioner." So
he said, "Well, inform me about the signs thereof (i.e. of its
coming)." Said he, "They are that the slave-girl will give birth to
her mistress, that you will see the barefooted ones, the naked, the destitute,
the herdsmen of the sheep (competing with each other) in raising lofty
buildings." Thereupon the man went off.
I waited a while, and then he (the Messenger of Allah)
said, "O 'Umar, do you know who that questioner was?" I replied,
"Allah and His Messenger know better." He said, "That was
Jibril. He came to teach you your religion.""
[Muslim]
Hadith 3: Pillars
of Islam
On
the authority of Abu 'Abd al-Rahman 'Abdullah bin 'Umar bin al-Khattab,
radiyallahu 'anhuma, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu
'alayhi wasallam, say:
"Islam has been built upon five things - on
testifying that there is no god save Allah, and that Muhammad is His Messenger;
on performing salah; on giving the zakah; on Hajj to the House; and on fasting
during Ramadhan."
[Al-Bukhari
& Muslim]
Hadith 4: Divine
Providence (al-Qadr)
Abu
'Abd al-Rahman 'Abdullah bin Mas'ud, radiyallahu 'anhu, reported: The Messenger
of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, the most truthful, the most trusted,
told us:
"Verily the creation of any one of you takes place
when he is assembled in his mother's womb; for forty days he is as a drop of
fluid, then it becomes a clot for a similar period. Thereafter, it is a lump
looking like it has been chewed for a similar period. Then an angel is sent to
him, who breathes the ruh (spirit) into him. This Angel is commanded to write
Four decrees: that he writes down his provision (rizq), his life span, his
deeds, and whether he will be among the wretched or the blessed.
I
swear by Allah - there is no God but He - one of you may perform the deeds of
the people of Paradise till there is naught but an arm's length between him and
it, when that which has been written will outstrip him so that he performs the
deeds of the people of the Hell Fire; one of you may perform the deeds of the
people of the Hell Fire, till there is naught but an arm's length between him
and it, when that which has been written will overtake him so that he performs
the deeds of the people of Paradise and enters therein."
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Hadith 5: Religious Innovation
and Heresy (al-Bid’ah)
It
is narrated on the authority of the Mother of the Believers, Umm 'Abdullah
'Aishah, radiyallahu 'anha, that the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi
wasallam, said:
"Whosoever introduces
into this affair of ours (i.e. into Islam) something that does not belong to
it, it is to be rejected."
[Al-Bukhari &
Muslim]
According
to the version in Muslim, (it reads): "Whosoever works a work which has
for it no command of ours is to be rejected."
Hadith 6: Lawful
and Unlawful (Halal wal Haram)
On
the authority of Abu 'Abdullah al-Nu'man bin Bashir, radiyallahu 'anhu, who
said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, say:
"Truly, what is lawful is evident,
and what is unlawful is evident, and in between the two are matters which are
doubtful which many people do not know. He who guards
against doubtful things keeps his religion and honour blameless, and he who
indulges in doubtful things indulges in fact in unlawful things, just as a shepherd who pastures his flock round a preserve will
soon pasture them in it. Beware, every king has a preserve, and the things
Allah has declared unlawful are His preserves. Beware, in the body there is a
flesh; if it is sound, the whole body is sound, and if it is corrupt, the whole
body is corrupt, and behold, it is the heart."
[Al-Bukhari & Muslim]
Hadith 7: Religion
is Sincerity (an-Naseehah)
On
the authority of Tamim Al-Dari that the Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam,
said:
"Religion is nasihah." We said: "To
whom?" The Prophet, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam, said: "To Allah and
His Book, and His messenger, and to the leaders of the Muslims and their common
folk."
[Muslim]
Hadith 8: Fighting
in Defense of Islam (al-Jihad)
Abdullah
bin Omar narrated that the messenger of Allah, sallallahu 'alayhi wasallam,
said:
"I have been ordered to fight against people until
they testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger
of Allah and until they perform the prayers and pay the zakat, and if they do
so they will have gained protection from me for their lives and property,
unless [they do acts that are punishable] in accordance with Islam, and their
reckoning will be with Allah the Almighty."
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
