[ahmad10]

عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ : (( إنَّمَا الأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ - وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ : بِالنِّيَّةِ - وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى , فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ , فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ , وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوْ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا , فَهِجْرَتُهُ إلَى مَا هَاجَرَ إلَيْهِ )) .النيةُ : القصدُ والعزمُ على الشيء .

Ameerul-Mu’mineen, Abi Hafs Umar ibn Khattab (may Allaah be pleased with him) said that: “The Messenger of Allaah (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) said: (The value of) an action depends on the intention behind it. A man will be rewarded only for that he intended. The emigration of one who emigrates for the sake of Allaah and His Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) is for the sake of Allaah and His Messenger (sallAllaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam) ; and the emigration of one who emigrates for gaining a worldly advantage or for marrying a woman is for what he has emigrated.”

[Sahih al-Bukhari & Muslim]

[ahmad10]

عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي أَوْفَى: أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ : فِي بَعْضِ أَيَّامِهِ الَّتِي لَقِيَ فِيهَا الْعَدُوَّ - انْتَظَرَ , حَتَّى إذَا مَالَتِ الشَّمْسُ قَامَ فِيهِمْ , فَقَالَ : (( أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ , لا تَتَمَنَّوْا لِقَاءَ الْعَدُوِّ , وَاسْأَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَافِيَةَ فَإِذَا لَقِيتُمُوهُمْ فَاصْبِرُوا , وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ الْجَنَّةَتَحْتَ ظِلالِ السُّيُوفِ ثُمَّ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ : اللَّهُمَّ مُنْزِلَ الْكِتَابِ , وَمُجْرِيَ السَّحَابِ , وَهَازِمَ الأَحْزَابِ : اهْزِمْهُمْ , وَانْصُرْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ )) .

Narrated Salim Abu An-Nadr: The freed slave of 'Umar bin 'Ubaidullah who was 'Umar's clerk: 'Abdullah bin Abi Aufa wrote him (i.e. 'Umar) a letter that contained the following:-- "Once Allah's Apostle (during a holy battle), waited till the sun had declined and then he got up among the people and said, "O people! Do not wish to face the enemy (in a battle) and ask Allah to save you (from calamities) but if you should face the enemy, then be patient and let it be known to you that Paradise is under the shades of swords." He then said,, "O Allah! The Revealer of the (Holy) Book, the Mover of the clouds, and Defeater of Al-Ahzab (i.e. the clans of infidels), defeat them infidels and bestow victory upon us." (Bukhari & Muslim) - (The Arabic Text is taken from Umdat ul-Ahkaam)

[Fajr]

The Messenger (s) said, "On the Day of Judgement, sealed scrolls (of a person) will be brought in front of Allah tabaraka wa ta'ala, and He will say, "Reject this one and accept this one." So the Angels will say, "By Your Honour, we have only seen good (from this person)," and so Allah `azza wa jall will say, "Indeed, this act was done seeking other than My Face and indeed, I do not accept other than that which was done seeking my Face."

[al-Tabarani; Majma' al-Zawai'd; Mukhtasar al-Targhib wal-Tarhib by Ibn Hajr; authentic hadith]

[Aboo Shayba]

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَزِيدَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ زِيَادٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو: " أَنَّ رَجُلًا قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَنِ الْمُسْلِمُ؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ» قَالَ: فَمَنِ الْمُؤْمِنُ؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ أَمِنَهُ النَّاسُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ» قَالَ: فَمَنِ الْمُهَاجِرُ؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ هَجَرَ السَّيِّئَاتِ» [ص:40] قَالَ: فَمَنِ الْمُجَاهِدُ؟ قَالَ: «مَنْ جَاهَدَ نَفْسَهُ لِلَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ»

^ Too excited to resist. I just understood my first hadeeth in Arabic in its entirety!! Maasha Allaah, tabaarak Allaah! Madinah books are awesome!

[The.Joshua.Redux]

It was narrated from Jaabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) said:
“On the Day of Resurrection, those who were hale and hearty will wish that their skin had been cut with scissors, when they see the reward of those who were put to trial.”
Narrated by at-Tirmidhi, 2402; classed as hasan by al-Albaani in as-Silsilah al-Hadeethah, 2206

[Scented Blood]

Hadith - Sahih Bukhari 3:573, Narrated Abu Huraira

The Prophet said, "When Allah ordains something on the Heaven the angels beat with their wings in obedience to His Statement which sounds like that of a chain dragged over a rock. His Statement: 'Until when the fear is banished from their hearts, the Angels say, 'What was it that your Lord said?' They reply, 'He has said the Truth. And He is the Most High, The Great.' "

[ahmad10]

Abu Huraira said, that the Prophet (SAW) said: “The Hell complained to her Rabb: O my Rabb! I am eating myself. He allowed her two breaths: One in winter and the other one in summer, and that is why you feel the heat in Summer and the cold in Winter.” [Bukhari and Muslim]

[Salsabil Cake]

Nice thread, Jazakallah khayran.

Simply beautiful:

The messenger of Allah (saw) said, "All of my nation will enter paradise except those who refuse." His companions asked, "Who would refuse?" He answered, "Whoever obeys me will enter paradise; whoever disobeys me has refused (to enter paradise)." (Bukhari)
