Hadith

Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) said:
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "A woman was punished in Hell because of a cat which she had confined until it died. She did not give it to eat or to drink when it was confined, nor did she free it so that it might eat the vermin of the earth."

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Ibn `Abbas commented, "Allah's favor means Muhammad ﷺ." Therefore, Allah has commanded the believers to affirm this favor and to appreciate it by thanking and remembering Him:

"Therefore, remember Me. I will remember you, and be grateful to Me, and never be ungrateful to Me."

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

“If one of you were to be stabbed in the head with an iron needle, that would be better for him than his touching a woman who is not permissible for him.”

Ibn al-Jawzī رحمه الله said:

“Never despair of Allāh’s mercy, even if the trial is prolonged.”

‎[صيد الخاطر 439]

Imām ash-Shāfi’ī رحمه الله said:

من إِذَالَةِ العلم أن تناظر كلَّ من ناظرك وتُقاوِلَ كلَّ من قَاوَلَك

"From the degradation of knowledge is that you debate everyone who debates you, and you argue with everyone who argues with you."

[Manāqib ash-Shāfi’ī, 2/151]

In one of Shaykh Nāṣir's daring letters from prison, Shaykh Nāṣir said:


"Contrive anything you may wish against me, and give me no respite.
Conspire against me without delay. If you have anything more than
crucifixion and killing, then bring it up.
I don't care when I'm being killed as a Muslim, in which way I die for the
sake of Allāh
Because this is for Allah's Sake and if He wishes, He will bless my torn
limbs and broken joints."

Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Compassionate One has mercy on those who are merciful. If you show mercy to those who are on the earth, He Who is in the heaven will show mercy to you.
[Sunan Abi Dawud 4941]
