1- 475- On the authority of Jareer who said: I
came to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- while he was being given
allegiance, so I said: O Messenger of Allaah!
Give me your hand so I can give you my allegiance, make it conditional
because you know best.
The Messenger said: ‘I take your allegiance that
you will worship Allaah, establish the prayer, give the Zakah, give advice to
the Muslims and separate from the Mushrik.
No. 636
2- 476 – On the authority of al-Mattlab bin
Abdullaah bin Hantab, on the authority of Abdullaah bin ‘Amr who said the
Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- climbed the Mimbar
and said: ‘I do not swear, I do not swear, I do not swear.’ Then he came down and said: ‘Have glad
tidings, have glad tidings; verily whoever prays the five prayers and keeps
away from the major sins enters into Paradise from any door he wishes.’
Al-Mattlab said: I heard a man ask Abdullaah bin
‘Amr did you hear the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam-
mention them? He said: ‘Yes, disobedience
to parents, committing Shirk with Allaah, killing a human, falsely
accusing a chaste woman, eating up the wealth of an orphan, retreating from a
battle and eating up interest.’
No. 3451
3- 477 – On the authority of Abdullaah bin ‘Amr
who said: We
prayed the Maghrib prayer with the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam, some people left and some remained. The
Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- came quickly and
his breathing had become rapid and his knees had become uncovered and he said: ‘Have glad tidings; your
Lord has opened a door from the doors of Heaven, for which the Angels compete with
you. Then Allaah says: Look at My
slaves, they have just completed the obligatory prayer and they are waiting for
the next one.’
No. 661
4- 479- On the authority of Abu Idrees
al-Kholaani, who said: I was in a gathering of the Companions of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam-
and amongst them was Ubaadah bin as-Saamit. The Witr prayer was mentioned, some of
them said that it was obligatory and some of them said it was Sunnah.
Ubaadah bin
as-Saamit said: ‘As for me then I testify that I heard the Messenger of Allaah
-sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- say: ‘Jibraeel – alayhi Sallam- came from Allaah – Tabaraka wa Ta’ala –
and said: O Muhammad! Indeed Allaah – Azza
wa Jal - has said to you: Verily I have made five prayers obligatory upon
your Ummah; whoever fulfils them with its Wudu, its timing and Sujood (prostration)
then he has made with it a contract with Me that I will enter him into Paradise
due to it. Whoever meets Me and some of
it is deficient - or a word similar to
it – then he does not have a contract with Me, if I want I will punish him and
if I want I will have mercy on him.
No. 842
5- 481 – On the authority of Abu ‘Amama who
said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam-
deliver a sermon in his farewell Hajj saying: ‘Fear Allaah your Lord, pray your
five prayers, fast your month, pay the Zakah of your family and obey
those in authority over you; you will enter the Paradise of your Lord.’
No. 867

Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa

to face us when we stood for the prayer before he said the Takbeer and said:
‘Complete the rows (and in another narration: [straighten, straighten] [come
closer together]) indeed I see you behind my back like I see you in front of
me.’
No. 3955
7- 485 – On the authority of ‘Aeysha on the
authority of the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa
sallam- who said: ‘Make a
portion of your prayer in your homes, do not make your homes as graves just as the
Jews and the Christians made their homes as graves.
Indeed the house in which the Qur’aan is recited will be made apparent
to the people of the Heaven just as the stars are made apparent to the people
of the earth.’
No. 3112
8- 488 – On the authority of Samurah bin
Jundub, that the Prophet of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam- said:
‘Come to the remembrance (prayer) and come close to the Imaam, since a
person will continue to be pushed back so much that he will be held back in Paradise
even if he does enter it.’
No.365
9- 490 – On the authority of Talq bin ‘Alee who
said: We set out as dignitaries to the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam, six dignitaries, five from Bani Hanifa and a
man from Bani Dabee’ah bin Rabia’tu. When we
reached him, we gave our allegiance to him and prayed with him. We informed him that in our country we had a temple for
worship and we requested from the Prophet -sallAllaahu alayhi
wa sallam- the water which
remained and fell from him after performing Wudu.
So the Prophet called for some water, made Wudu
and gargled then poured it into the vessel and commanded us saying: ‘Go now,
when you reach your country break your temple and sprinkle this water in
its place and take it as a place of prayer (Masjid).
They said: Indeed the place is far away, the
weather is severely hot and the water will dry up.
He answered: Pour some of this water into other
water as it
will not increase it except in goodness.’
As we were going, we argued as to who would carry
the water container. So, the Messenger of
Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- deputed between us, that every man from amongst us
would carry it for a day and night. When
we reached our country we broke our temple then sprinkled the water in
its place,
we took it as a Masjid and then called the Adhaan in that
place. There was a monk who was a man from a
place called Tee’ and when he heard the Adhaan he said: ‘This is a
truthful call.’ Then he faced a stream from amongst our
streams which ran from the top of the valley and we never saw him again.’
