Excellent collection! What great words from a great man! May God´s peace and blessings be upon him. Amen.

I added a similar thread back in 2008 or so, but it had to be removed ultimately since the website that I fetched it from didn´t provide any reference for even a single quote. So it´s great that this collection gives references to the books as well.

Well done!

How authentic are the hadiths that have been posted?

For instance, the 4th hadith mentioned -- “The most excellent Jihad is that for the conquest of self.” (Bukhari) -- where in sahih Bukhari is it there?

Ibn Taiymiyyah said in Al-Furqan PP. 44-45: "This hadith has no sources and nobody whomsoever in the field of Islamic knowledge has narrated it. Jihad against the disbelivers is the most noble of actions and moreover it is the most important action for the mankind."

Al-Khateeb al-Baghdadi reports it is daeef (weak) due to the narrator Khalaf bin Muhammad bin Ismail Al-Khiyam. Al-Haakim says, "His hadeeths are unreliable". Abu Ya'la Al-Khalili says, "He often adulterates, is very weak and narrates unknown hadith." (Mashari-ul-Ashwaq, Ibn Nuhas 1/31).

There is also the narrator Yahya bin Al-Ula who is a known liar and forgerer of hadith (Ahmad). Amru bin Ali, An-Nasai and Ad-Daraqutni state, "His hadith are renounced." Ibn Adi states, "His hadith are false." (Tahzeeb-ut-Tahzeeb 11/261-262)

There are so many more references against the hadith... It is the month of ramadan and sharing knowledge is amazing but we need to be careful before a copy paste job.

I apologize.

Thanks for indication. It's been a lazy copy-paste job from my part.

really learned something today :) jazak Allah for this. never thought this hadith was zaeef and that people would lie about hadith too just to prove themselves right
 
Thanks for the wonderful quotes.

"Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind.”

This one is my favourite.

Really Helpful information indeed
 
Narrated `Abdullah:

The Prophet (pbuh) 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."

Sahih al-Bukhari 6417

Imam Ali asked the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, about his path and he replied, "Faith is my capital. Intellect is the basis of my religion. Love is my foundation. Yearning is my mount. The remembrance of Allah is my endearing companion. Reliance is my treasure. Sorrow is my companion. Knowledge is my armor. Patience is my cloak. Satisfaction is my booty. Incapacity is my boast. Self-denial is my profession. Certainty is my food. Truthfulness is my intercessor. Obedience is enough for me. Striving against falsehood is my character and the coolness of my eye is in the prayer."

Qadi 'Iyad, Kitab ash Shifa, chapter 2, section 21 (highly recommended book ; if you need one book on the virtues and qualities of the prophet - pbuh - that's the one, ultimate authority in the genre since nearly 1000 years.)

O´ wow! Excellent, great, great words are these! Thanks for sharing this. The best from this thread!
 
The Islamic teachings on manners and behaviour are amazingly detailed and great important is laid upon them, which from my studies of other respected faiths as well is unmatched. From manners of eating, drinking, being a guest as well as a host, attending funeral and so on and on, to one´s behaviour with one´s relatives and friends, parents, siblings, spouse, children, neighbours..... It´s a whole long list!

Not only does it amaze me to see how conscious Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of God be upon him) was of all such things, but also how well documented it is by his companions (may God be pleased with them) and then the early age scholars. Commendable, immense hard work:14:!
 
Abd Allah ibn `Amr ibn Al-`As, one of the companions, reported: A man asked the Messenger of God: "Which act in Islam is the best?'' The Prophet replied: "To give food and to greet everyone, whether you know or you do not.'' (Al-Bukhari & Muslim)
 
''When 'Abdullah bin Ubai (the chief of hypocrites) died, his son came to the Prophet and said, "O Allah's Apostle! Please give me your shirt to shroud him in it, offer his funeral prayer and ask for Allah's forgiveness for him." So Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) gave his shirt to him and said, "Inform me (When the funeral is ready) so that I may offer the funeral prayer." So, he informed him and when the Prophet intended to offer the funeral prayer, 'Umar took hold of his hand and said, "Has Allah not forbidden you to offer the funeral prayer for the hypocrites? The Prophet said, "I have been given the choice for Allah says: '(It does not avail) Whether you (O Muhammad) ask forgiveness for them (hypocrites), or do not ask for forgiveness for them. Even though you ask for their forgiveness seventy times, Allah will not forgive them. (9.80)" So the Prophet offered the funeral prayer and on that the revelation came: "And never (O Muhammad) pray (funeral prayer) for any of them (i.e. hypocrites) that dies." (9. 84)
 
Please add more.

I love this one too.

"“Say what is true, although it may be bitter and displeasing to people.” (Baihaqi)

Speaking the truth is often opposed by many in todays world but its important to do so even if it upsets some esp haters.

There was a non-Muslim guy who once told me that he heard a saying from the prophet (Saw) from a Muslim work colleague, and this non-Muslim person really loved it. I wonder if there is an authentication to this hadeeth; the closest meaning of which is,

"When you say something, it should pass from three gates.
At the first gate, the gate keeper asks: Is it true?
At the second gate, the gate keeper asks: Is it necessary?
And the third gate, the gate keeper asks: Is it nice?

Very inspiring.

The beloved Prophet(pbuh) was known as the truthful one even before he knew he was going to be a prophet.

Lying is so common now, the truth is harder to believe than fiction!
 
“Do you know what is better than charity and fasting and prayer? It is keeping peace and good relations between people, as quarrels and bad feelings destroy mankind.” (Muslims & Bukhari)

We all must be mindful of hate spreaders who want to divide people.
 
Did The Prophet say something on the lines of 'He who walks the path of knowledge, walks the path of God"?

Some such saying is attributed to him.

from your posting style it seems you are into hadiths and Prophet PBUH lifestyle :najam

I think we should get you a meeting with MTJ and tell CJ that you're the new victim of "conversion jihad" :))
 
“The best among you is the one who doesn’t harm others with his tongue and hands.”

- Prophet Muhammad saw.

Tongue can cause a lot of harm. The prophet(pbuh) spoke in a gentle manner unless he was angry with some of his companions for not being gentle or fair.

Are you telling me that all muslims follow the lifestyle of the prophet pbuh. If they did we wouldn't be here talking all this.

There is Prophet pbuh his teachings and Islam abd then there are ordinary muslims. They are not interchangeable.

Every human can dive into the teachings of the prophet pbuh and learn great things. And that goes for prophets or avatars of every religion. But then do people follow these teachings to the hilt?

Absolutely brother. And that is the reason why we Muslims should try to remain calm as much as possible during this difficult times.

For example today I had French lessons at school and the teacher was telling the whole class how “bad” Erdogan and the Muslims are.

Also crying about the freedom of expression as usual.

I remained silent.

And I thought about what our beloved Prophet (PBUH) has said:

“The strongest among you, is the one who controls his anger.”

Another saying of the Prophet (PBUH) which reflects what Islam is about: to have “sabr”.

You're in Holland bro?

This is sad, schools should not be a breeding ground for teachers esp.

Good on you, I wouldn't have remained silent.

I think we have to look at his saying too.

“Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.”

you should have told him your side of the story/argument after class or in private by not getting angry or emotional but that doesn't mean we should just shut up and not explain a fine line between hate speech and freedom of speech (a beautiful concept and I am so happy that your teacher is giving emphasis on freedom of speech because that's a pillar of western society, law and it should be followed to the tee)

When I used to be in school I also faced the same situation but instead of getting angry I convinced my teacher to have a debate on this situation rather than him just talking about freedom of speech and all of my classmates and my teachers got the opportunity to hear a different viewpoint

I think if you have a conversation with your teacher or classmates about this situation rather than just staying quiet or getting angry that would be more beneficial because it shows your maturity as a person

- because boys get angry but men have discussions and try to figure out where everyone is coming from and try to educate others about where you are coming from

also I can 100% guarantee you that your teacher would respect you a lot more if you have a conversation with him man to man and tell him about the fine line between hate speech and freedom of speech and just offer him your viewpoint without getting angry

Talking with people without getting angry can solve so many issues of this world and can even clear some misconceptions

if he is criticizing the doctrine than that's another issue that can be solved by talking to him
 
Reported on the authority of Umm Haani’ bint Abi Taalib may Allaah be pleased with her. She said: “The Messenger of Allaah, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, walked past me one day so I said, ‘O Messenger of Allaah, I have become old and weak – or something similar to this – so tell me of a good deed that I can do while I am sitting.’

He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said: “Say ‘Subhaan Allaah’ one hundred times for it is equivalent to freeing one hundred slaves from the offspring of Ismaa‘eel; and say ‘Al-Hamdu li-llaah’ one hundred times for it is equivalent to one hundred horses saddled with reins ready to carry fighters in the cause of Allaah; and say ‘Allaahu Akbar’ one hundred times for it is equivalent to one hundred camels slaughtered for the sake of Allaah; and say ‘La Ilaah Illa Allaah’ one hundred times.” Ibn Khalaf (the narrator from ‘Aasim) said, “I think he said: ‘…it fills what is between the heavens and the earth, and on that day out of all the deeds that are risen to Allaah, none will be better than yours except for a person who said what you said.’” [Ahmad) Al-Munthiri, Al-Haythami, and Al-Albaani classified it as Hasan (good).

If he is generalizing all Muslims to be bad, he is not qualified to be a teacher. I pity the students who get to learn from him.

Thanks to the Prophet and thanks to you Mueez bro for this quote. I needed this and I want to practice it every day.

Yes bro, I’m in Holland. It’s been two days since the teacher was talking about this issue in class and I was shocked to see how my classmates were “brainwashed”. That was also the reason why I remained silent.

However now I know what to do if he comes up again! I will try to explain our point of view and why there should be a limit between freedom of expression and “hurting” others.

I’m glad that you were able to debate on this topic when you faced such kind of situation. I thought I should remain just silent because I was the only Muslim student at that specific moment.

I agree with what you have said and that’s why as you might have read already that the next time I will try to explain my point of view.

you should report him if he is saying Muslims as a group of people are bad/evil

if he is criticizing the doctrine than that's another issue that can be solved by talking to him

He was criticizing the Muslims, unfortunately.

Yeah I need to see what I can do. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes brother unfortunately he did...

No thanks and I’m happy that I have helped you with sharing this beautiful quote of the Prophet (PBUH).

Exactly.

Most educated Hindus do respect The Prophet PBUH, even BJP supporters. He is revered as a holy man who left behind some very relevant and useful teachings.

I particularly like what he said about acquiring knowledge. For a person who lived in a desert in the 8th century, that was quite a visionary thing.

People mistake criticism of muslims as criticism of Prophet pbuh and Islam. Thats not correct.
 
This thread is meant to share stuff we can follow, not for disputing

Sir, I will not dispute anything. I guarantee I will only post Hadith from the Shahi Hadith books (without my own commentary) and link to the source and provide all references so this can be cross-checked on any hadith website or any hadith book.

Can I please post some hadith?
 
Are you telling me that all muslims follow the lifestyle of the prophet pbuh. If they did we wouldn't be here talking all this.

There is Prophet pbuh his teachings and Islam abd then there are ordinary muslims. They are not interchangeable.

Every human can dive into the teachings of the prophet pbuh and learn great things. And that goes for prophets or avatars of every religion. But then do people follow these teachings to the hilt?

Obviously not, that is why they are just people like you or me, and Prophets or avatars as you call them, are considered exemplars.

Thats why criticism of followers shouldn't be taken as criticism of the religion or the Prophets and avatars.
 
People mistake criticism of muslims as criticism of Prophet pbuh and Islam. Thats not correct.

You should not identify a person by his religion in the first place when you know his actions are the exact opposite of what his religion teaches.

A person who steals is a thief, a person who kills is a murderer and a person who targets innocent people is a terrorist. There is no such thing as a Hindu thief, a Jewish murderer or a Muslim terrorist.

Judge individuals not their religion

No. There is a hindu thief but Hinduism doesn't teach that. There is a Muslim terrorist but islam is not extremist.

I hate the word Islamophobia, its muslimophobia. Islam creates no phobia, its a way of life as dictated by Allah(swt). But some muslims by their actions, which shockingly they do in the name of islam that creates phobia.
 
Sharing some hadiths:

1) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Actions are (judged) by motives (niyyah), so each man will have what he intended."

2) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Have taqwa (fear) of Allah wherever you may be, and follow up a bad deed with a good deed which will wipe it out, and behave well towards the people."

3) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Whoever believes in Allah, let him say something good or else remain silent."

4) Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) said, "Whoever takes the wrongdoer's side in a dispute or supports wrongdoing, he will remain subject to the wrath of Allah until he gives it up."
 
this thread is for all the muslims or non-muslim posters here .
just want to know in total how many predictions our Prophet (PBUH) told and which one fascinates you .
share the ones which fascinates you the most.
i am posting a few which came true .

 
On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.” [Muslim]

Reference : Hadith 34, 40 Hadith an-Nawawi

This is very important for the world we live in today. As Muslims we have a duty to speak out against injustice , if we cant stop it.

Palestine needs all Muslims to speak out against the genocide taking place now.

One of my favorite hadiths.

Thanks for sharing.

Even if one can't change an evil situation physically, it is important to protest it verbally or at least condemn it internally.
 
Exactly.

Most educated Hindus do respect The Prophet PBUH, even BJP supporters. He is revered as a holy man who left behind some very relevant and useful teachings.

I particularly like what he said about acquiring knowledge. For a person who lived in a desert in the 8th century, that was quite a visionary thing.
Nice, what you said at the end is pretty important in particular, it’s something even some Muslims who are out of touch with their own faith don’t realize, yet you understand.

How a man in the middle of a desert who couldn’t read or write had the word of God revealed to him (the Quran)

I invite you to check out the Quran, or at least the prophecies and past events in the Quran that a man (PBUH) with no scientific knowledge nor access to historical records of civilizations passed could know, except through divine revelation.

Eg, Quran 57:25

We sent Our messengers with the clear proofs, and We sent down with them the Book and the Balance, that humanity may uphold justice. And We sent down iron, in it great might, and benefits for humanity. That Allah may know who supports Him and His messengers invisibly. Allah is Strong and Powerful.

We only know now that iron came from space, it was not found on earth originally.

Many more on,
 
I don't usually recall anything from acknowledgement pages in a book. But one sentence has stuck. Mona Hassan in her book, Longing for the Lost Caliphate, begins the acknowledgements page with a quotation from Sunan al-Tirmidhi:

"Whoever does not thank people, does not thank God."

Over time there seems to be an elevation of Bukhari and Muslim and a slight relegation of other books.

Tirmidhi contains many beautiful hadith on manners and the book of parables has gem after gem too.
