Imam Al-Nasaa’i narrated that Muhammad ibn Jahsh (may Allah be pleased with him) said:
We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) when he raised his head towards the sky, then he put his palm on his forehead and said: “Subhaan-Allah! What a strict issue has been revealed to me!” We remained silent and were afraid. The following morning I asked him, “O Messenger of Allah, what is this strict issue that has been revealed?” He said, “By the One in Whose hand is my soul, if a man were killed in battle for the sake of Allah, then brought back to life, then killed and brought back to life again, then killed, and he owed a debt, he would not enter Paradise until his debt was paid off.”
Classed as hasan by al-Albaani in Saheeh al-Nasaa’i.
Pay your debts, even if it was owed to your wife or siblings. Pay it before death comes for there is no guarantee it will be settled after your demise. Imagine all these struggles to worship Allāh and you end up being denied jannah over a debt you could have settled while alive!!

«Evil People Exist Only Because Of Good People's Tolerance»
-------------------------------------------------------------
Ibrahim ibn ‘Amr As San’ani R.A said,
It was once revealed to Yusha’ ibn Nun (AS) that a punishment would befall his people and destroy one hundred thousand of them.
Sixty thousand of them were sinners, whereas the other forty thousand were outwardly pious people!
Yusha’ asked, “O Allah! What crime did the pious people commit?”
Allah replied, “They associated and interacted with the evil people, ate and drank with them and did not express any anger for the wrongs taking place around them.”

Imam Abu Dawud Bought Jannah For 1 Dirham
It is related with regard to Abu Dawud (as-Sijistani), the author of the Sunan [Abi Dawud], that he was on board of ship. He heard a person at shore sneezing and saying "Alhamdulillah."
So he hired a rowing boat for one dirham and went to shore and replied to this person's saying: "Yarhamukullah"
Imam Abu Dawud then was asked about this action of his, he answered: "It is possible that this person who sneezed is a man whose supplication is accepted by Allah"
When people on board fell asleep, they heard a voice calling out:
O people of the ship! Surely Abu Dawud purchased paradise from Allah for one dirham!
[Sharh Al-Mukhtasar ibn Abi Jamrah pg. 290]

Ibn Abbas reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “No good deeds are better than what is done in these first ten days of Dhul-Hijjah.” Some companions of the Prophet said, “Not even jihad in the way of Allah?” The Prophet said, “Not even jihad in the way of Allah, except for a man who goes out with his life and wealth at risk and he returns with nothing.”

Materialism, excessive spending, and luxury don't go with eeman.
Have what will suffice you and remain having zuhd (asceticism).
For the more you crave for this world, the more you'll get attached to it and the harder it will be for you to work for the Akhirah.

“One morning, Caliph al-Muʿtaṣim went to visit Imam Aḥmad ibn Ḥanbal in his prison during the ordeal of the Miḥna (the inquisition regarding the creation of the Quran).
The Caliph asked, “How are you this morning, Aḥmad?”
Imam Aḥmad replied, “I am well, O Commander of the Faithful, praise be to Allah. However, I had a dream that has disturbed me and continues to do so. I saw the Quran laid out as if dead. I washed it, shrouded it, and then prayed over it.”
al-Muʿtaṣim said, “Woe to you, Aḥmad! Can the Quran die, or are you mocking me?”
Imam Aḥmad responded, “This is what you say, that it is created, and everything created dies.”
al-Muʿtaṣim then looked at Ibn ʾAbī Duʾād, a leading figure of the inquisition and a scholar of the rulers, who said, “O Commander of the Faithful, I believe he should be flogged; nothing but the whip will discipline him!”
al-Muʿtaṣim said, “Aḥmad, do not kill yourself and answer me affirming the creation of the Quran.”
Imam Aḥmad replied, “Give me something from the Book of Allah or the Sunnah of His Messenger ﷺ that supports what you say.”
al-Muʿtaṣim commanded the executioner, “Strike hard, may God cut off your hand.”
The executioner struck the first lash, and Imam Aḥmad said, “Bismi Allāh (In the name of Allah)."
On the second lash, he said, “Lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā bi Allāh (There is no power nor strength except through Allah).”
On the third lash, he declared, “The Quran is the speech of Allah, uncreated.”
With another strike, he said, “Nothing will happen to us except what Allah has decreed for us.”
Then Ibn ʾAbī Duʾād approached Imam Aḥmad and said, “Aḥmad, whisper a word in my ear that will save you from the Caliph's punishment.”
Imam Aḥmad replied, “Rather, you come close and whisper a word in my ear that will save you from the punishment of Allah.”
Ibn ʾAbī Duʾād signaled the executioner to strike harder, and the flogging continued until Imam Aḥmad lost consciousness.”

Whoever Has Wronged His Brother...
It was narrated by Abū Hurayrah (raḍiyAllāhu 'anhu) from the Prophet (ﷺ) that he said:
"Whoever has wronged his brother, whether in regards to wealth or honour, should ask for his pardon before he pays for it [in the Afterlife] when he will have neither a dirham nor a dīnār. If he had any good deeds they will be taken and given to the one whom he wronged, or the bad deeds of the one whom he wronged will be loaded on to him."³²
If the person being backbitten is not aware of the backbiter, the backbiter should ask Allāh's pardon and forgiveness, so that the person will not be made aware of what he has done [regarding his right].

The Prophet ﷺ said: "Allah is kind and loves kindness, and He rewards for kindness in a way that He does not reward for harshness". Sahih Muslim: 2593.
From this Hadith we learn that dealing kindly and mercifully towards others, will always lead to positive results.
Contrary to that, dealing harshly and arrogantly with others, including your own children, will always lead to negative results.
A person must seek Allah's ﷻ help and continuously ask Him for patience, wisdom and good manners.

So a man said: ‘I know him, O Chief of the Believers.’
He said: “What do you know of him.”
He said: ‘Uprightness.’
He said: “Is he your closest neighbour; so that you know about his night and his day, and his comings and goings?”
He said: ‘No.’
He said: “So have you had (monetary) dealings with him involving dirhams and deenars, which will indicate his piety?”
He said: ‘No.’
He said: “Then has he been your companion upon a journey which could indicate to you his good character?”
He said: ‘No.’
He said: “Then you do not know him.”
Then he said to the man: “Bring me someone who knows you.”[1]

LIFE IS LIKE A SNAKE
‘Ali Ibn Abi Talib said:
“The likeness of this worldly life is that of a snake: soft to the touch, it will kill you with its poison. So turn away from what impresses you of it, since what stays with you is so little. And do not be concerned about it, since you are certain about its parting. And be most happy in it when you are most heedful of it; for every time its companion takes solace in one of its delights, it gives way to one of its woes.”

Ibn al Jawzi رحمه الله said,
"You are the most precious creature to Allah, so be content with what Allah has decreed for you, because he who loves never questions or accuses the one he loves.
The Grace of Allah upon you in all that He created for your sake is as clear as daylight, so how could you imagine that He would neglect when you are at the roof of it all?”
[Seeds of Admonishment and Reform pg. 186]

"Imagine how your parents would feel" ...
"Similarly, now imagine how Allah would feel"...

While explaining SHIRK, many muslims wrongly misrepresent the sifãt of Allah by saying that Allah feels sad or upset when partners are associated with him..
This is a grave error ‼️
Firstly equating Allah عز وجل with his creation in any way is a disaster secondly HE never feels sad nor upset, rather HE is "angry" on the one who does this as per the Prophetic ﷺ explanation.
قلت يا رسول الله، أي الأعمال أبغضُ إلى الله؟ قال: ((الإشراك بالله))
[رواه أبو يعلى بإسناد جيدٍ وصحَّحه الألباني في صحيح الترغيب والترهيب]
Allah ﷻ is the one & only, free from all needs. He is not a helpless weak diety to feel sad.
Allah ﷻ says :
{ لَوْ أَنَّ أَوَّلَكُمْ وَآخِرَكُمْ وَإِنْسَكُمْ وَجِنَّكُمْ كَانُوا عَلَى أَفْجَرِ قَلْبِ رَجُلٍ وَاحِدٍ مِنْكُمْ، مَا نَقَصَ ذَلِكَ مِنْ مُلْكِي شَيْئًا }
[O My servants, if the first of you and the last of you, and the humans of you and the jinn of you, were all as wicked as the most wicked heart of any individual amongst you, then this would not decrease from My Kingdom anything] - Refer Saheeh Muslim.
Please do not explain shirk in this way to any one and keep reading ahadeeth for finer understanding of the deen.
