﴿ ٱلَّذِينَ تَتَوَفَّىٰهُمُ ٱلۡمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ طَيِّبِينَ يَقُولُونَ سَلَٰمٌ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱدۡخُلُواْ ٱلۡجَنَّةَ بِمَا كُنتُمۡ تَعۡمَلُونَ ﴾
سورة النحل
32. Those whose lives the angels take while they are in a pious state (i.e. pure from all evil, and worshipping none but Allâh Alone) saying (to them): Salâmun ‘Alaikum (peace be on you) enter you Paradise, because of that (the good) which you used to do (in the world)."
﴿ وَلَوۡ نَزَّلۡنَا عَلَيۡكَ كِتَٰبٗا فِي قِرۡطَاسٖ فَلَمَسُوهُ بِأَيۡدِيهِمۡ لَقَالَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوٓاْ إِنۡ هَٰذَآ إِلَّا سِحۡرٞ مُّبِينٞ ﴾
سورة الأنعام

﴿ لَّيۡسَ عَلَى ٱلۡأَعۡمَىٰ حَرَجٞ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلۡأَعۡرَجِ حَرَجٞ وَلَا عَلَى ٱلۡمَرِيضِ حَرَجٞ وَلَا عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ أَن تَأۡكُلُواْ مِنۢ بُيُوتِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ ءَابَآئِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ أُمَّهَٰتِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ إِخۡوَٰنِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ أَخَوَٰتِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ أَعۡمَٰمِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ عَمَّٰتِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ أَخۡوَٰلِكُمۡ أَوۡ بُيُوتِ خَٰلَٰتِكُمۡ أَوۡ مَا مَلَكۡتُم مَّفَاتِحَهُۥٓ أَوۡ صَدِيقِكُمۡۚ لَيۡسَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ جُنَاحٌ أَن تَأۡكُلُواْ جَمِيعًا أَوۡ أَشۡتَاتٗاۚ فَإِذَا دَخَلۡتُم بُيُوتٗا فَسَلِّمُواْ عَلَىٰٓ أَنفُسِكُمۡ تَحِيَّةٗ مِّنۡ عِندِ ٱللَّهِ مُبَٰرَكَةٗ طَيِّبَةٗۚ كَذَٰلِكَ يُبَيِّنُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمُ ٱلۡأٓيَٰتِ لَعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُونَ ﴾
سورة النور
61. There is no restriction on the blind, nor any restriction on the lame, nor any restriction on the sick, nor on yourselves, if you eat from your houses, or the houses of your fathers, or the houses of your mothers, or the houses of your brothers, or the houses of your sisters, or the houses of your father’s brothers, or the houses of your father’s sisters, or the houses of your mother’s brothers, or the houses of your mother’s sisters, or (from that) whereof you hold keys, or (from the house) of a friend. No sin on you whether you eat together or apart. But when you enter the houses, greet one another with a greeting from Allâh (i.e. say: السلام عليكم) As-Salâmu ‘Alaikum - peace be on you) blessed and good. Thus Allâh makes clear the Ayât (these Verses or your religious symbols and signs) to you that you may understand.
﴿ لِلَّذِينَ لَا يُؤۡمِنُونَ بِٱلۡأٓخِرَةِ مَثَلُ ٱلسَّوۡءِۖ وَلِلَّهِ ٱلۡمَثَلُ ٱلۡأَعۡلَىٰۚ وَهُوَ ٱلۡعَزِيزُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ﴾

‘Iyād ibn Himār (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily, Allah, the Exalted, revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one oppresses another or boasts of oneself before another."
Narrated by Muslim
A Muslim is commanded to be humble as humbleness is an honorable trait possessed by the true believers. The command to be humble is revealed by Allah, the Exalted, to His Prophet Muhammad (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) and this is clear evidence of its importance. This is because the one who humbles oneself will submit and surrender to the commands of Allah, the Exalted, and act upon them and avoid His prohibitions. Also, he will show humbleness towards people. The Hadīth forbids Muslims from taking too much pride in and boasting of the good traits and achievements they have, particularly when the motive is to behave haughtily and arrogantly with people.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Verily you cannot embrace and suffice all people with your money, but you can embrace and suffice them all with a cheerful face and good manners."
Al-Haakim
This Hadīth is proof of the virtue of having a smiling, cheerful face when meeting others, as well as the virtue of having good manners and good social relations, and of being kind to people in word and deed to all people. This is indeed within the capacity of each human being. Good manners create mutual love and nurture amicability and friendliness among the members of a society.
‘Abdullāh ibn ‘Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever exalts himself over others and walks with a swaggering gait (with pride), will meet Allah while He is angry with him."
Al-Haakim - Narrated by Ahmad
The Hadīth indicates the blameworthiness of haughtiness and arrogance. Such haughtiness and arrogance appears in one's gait as he swaggers, in one's clothes, speech and in all his affairs. Whoever is in such a state of haughtiness, assumes himself to be great, and deserves to be exalted over others. This one will meet Allah on the Day of Judgment while He is angry with him.
Abu Umāmah Iyās ibn Tha‘labah al-Ansāri al-Hārithi (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Companions of the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) once mentioned the (luxuries) of the worldly life in his presence. So the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Will you not listen? Will you not listen? Simplicity is part of faith, simplicity is part of faith."
Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad
Some of the Prophet's Companions talked about the luxuries of the worldly life. So he said to them: "Will you not listen", in order to urge them to listen to what he was going to say, and repeated this to emphasize its importance. Then he told them that observing modesty in one's clothes and adornment is a manner of the people of faith, and that faith is what motivates a person to be modest.
‘Ā’ishah (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah is Lenient and He loves leniency in all matters." She also reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah is Lenient and He loves leniency. He rewards for leniency what He does not reward for harshness or for anything else."
Narrated by Muslim - Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
Allah is Lenient, and He loves those of His slaves who are lenient towards His creation, gentle, and pleasant in dealing with others. He rewards those lenient people more than any who are harsh and overly strict, and rewards for leniency and gentleness hat which He does not reward for any other thing. This great characteristic of leniency and gentleness is beloved to Allah and a therefore a Muslim should always characterize himself with this trait.
Jābir ibn ‘Abdullāh (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, among the most beloved and nearest of you to me on the Day of Judgment are those of you who have the best moral conduct, and, indeed, the most hated of you to me and farthest from me on the Day of Judgment are the talkative, the pompous, and the Mutafayhiqūn." They (the Companions) asked: "O Messenger of Allah, we know the talkative and the pompous, but we do not know who the 'Mutafayhiqūn' are." He replied: “The arrogant."
Narrated by At-Termedhy
The word "among" indicates a part of the whole, i.e. "some of". "the most beloved and nearest (in physical proximity) to me on the Day of Judgment are those of you who have the best moral conduct" with the Creator and with the created beings. "The most detestable to me and farthest from me (in physical proximity) on the Day of Judgment are" the one who chatters affectatiously, the one who addresses people pompously with long formal-sounding words, and the one who uses arrogant speech, giving the impression that he is superior to others.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "While a man was walking, dressed in fine clothes and admiring himself, with his hair well-combed and he was walking haughtily, suddenly Allah caused the earth to swallow him, and he continues to sink therein until the Day of Judgment.”
Narrated by Bukhari & Muslim
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) recounts that a man was walking arrogantly, wearing fine clothes and his hair well-combed, and all of a sudden Allah caused the earth to swallow him, and so he fell and disappeared deep inside it, and he keeps sinking therein until the Day of Judgment. Because of his arrogance, self-conceit, and self-admiration, the earth swallowed him. "He continues to sink therein” probably means that he is still alive in the real sense and will continue to be punished that way inside the earth. In other words, he gets tortured as living people do. Another possible meaning is that once he sunk into the earth, he died and yet he keeps sinking into it while being dead. Thus, this occurs to him in the Barzakh life, the interval between worldly life and the Hereafter, in a manner unknown to us. What matters is that this is his punishment .
Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) decided to embark on an expedition, so he said: "O group of Muhājirūn and Ansār, there are among you such people who have no property and no kinsfolk. So let each one of you take along with him two or three men, for none of us has a spare animal and we ride by turns." So I took two or three men with me and I rode my camel by turns with them.
Narrated by Abu Daoud
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered his Companions (may Allah be pleased with him) that every two or three men should alternate riding one camel so that all of them would be equal. In other words, they would take turns in riding instead of having some of them ride while the others walk due to the shortage of camels.
Abu Mūsa (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Visit the sick, feed the hungry, and set free the captive."
Narrated by Bukhari
The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) ordered Muslims to visit the sick and feed the hungry. He also ordered that if the disbelievers capture a Muslim person, it is incumbent upon the Muslims to set him free.
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever acquires knowledge which should be pursued for the sake of Allah for the sole purpose of securing worldly gains shall not smell the fragrance of Paradise on the Day of Judgment."
Narrated by Ibn Majah - Narrated by Abu Daoud - Narrated by Ahmad
This Hadīth points out that if a person seeks one of the spheres of knowledge that are usually pursued for the sake of Allah – and these are the Shar‘i sciences and the supporting disciplines of the Arabic language and such – and only aims at worldly gains, like money or prestige, by doing this, and he does not seek the pleasure of Allah and the Hereafter, then Allah, the Almighty, will punish him by depriving him of the smell of Paradise. This is because he pursues the worldly life by doing the very acts intended for the Hereafter. His deprivation of the smell of Paradise is an overstatement signifying that Paradise shall be strictly forbidden for him, since a person who is not allowed to smell something would surely not be permitted to get it. However, this is taken to mean that he does not deserve to enter Paradise. After all, a sinner's fate is left to be decided by Allah, the Almighty, if he dies as a believer.
