Abu Hurairah reported that Five are the acts of Fitra: Circumcision, Removing the pubes, clipping the moustache, Cutting the nails and plucking the hair under the armpits.
Anas reported: A time limit has been prescribed for us for clipping the moustache, cutting the nails, plucking hair under the armpits, shaving the pubes, that it should not be neglected for more than forty nights. [Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]
Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) reported that The Messenger of Allah (may Allah exalt his mention) loved to start from the right hand side for performing ablution, for combing (the hair) and wearing the shoes.” [Sahih Bukhari and Muslim]
Anas bin Malik reported that Allah’s Messenger (may Allah exalt his mention) said: Allah is pleased with His servant who says Al-hmadu lillah while taking a morsel of food and while drinking.” [Sahih Muslim]
It is narrated on the authority of Abu Hurairah that The Messenger of Allah (may Allah exalt his mention) said: “Faith (Iman) has over seventy or sixty branches, the best of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the removal of a harmful thing from the path; and modesty is a branch of faith.” [Sahih Muslim]
Sa’d bin Abi Waqas reported that Allah’s Messenger said: “You will be rewarded for whatever you spend for Allah’s sake even if it were a slice of food which you put in your wife’s mouth.” [Sahih Bukhari]
Re: Things, Small in Actions but Great in Rewards !!!!
Assalaam Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuh,
Jazakallahu Khair for sharing!
The Most Noble Prophet (Upon whom be blessings and peace) said: “Whoever adheres to my Practices when my Community is corrupted shall receive the reward of a hundred martyrs.” ( al-Munziri, al-Targhib wa’t-Tarhib i, 41; Tabarani, al-Majma’u’l-Kabir 1394)
Yes, following the Practices of the Prophet is certainly most valuable. And at times when innovations are prevalent following them is even more valuable. And particularly when the Prophet’s Community is corrupted, to comply with a small matter of conduct of the Practices signifies a powerful belief and fear of Allah. Following the Practices directly recalls the Noble Prophet (Upon whom be blessings and peace), and that recollection and remembrance is transformed into recollection of the Divine Presence. The moment the Practices are complied with in even the least significant dealings, in the conduct of eating, drinking, or sleeping, such habitual, natural acts become meritorious acts of worship in compliance with the Shari’a. For through such commonplace actions a person thinks of following the Noble Prophet (Upon whom be blessings and peace) and conceives of them as conduct of the Shari’a. Then he recalls that he is the owner of the Shari’a. And from that his heart turns to Almighty Allah, the True Lawgiver, and he gains a sort of sense of the Divine Presence and worship.
And so, due to this mystery, one who makes it his practice to follow the Practices of the Prophet (PBUH) transforms all his acts into worship, and may make his whole life fruitful and yielding of reward.
