Enes Ibn Malik reports that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah and greeted him in the mosque.
The Messenger of Allah asked him where did he come from.
The Bedouin said: "I came from far seeking answers to some questions". Our master told him to ask his questions":
* I wish to be an intelligent man, what should I do?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Fear Allah".
* I wish to be a loyal servant to Allah and do what He wants me to do?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Read the Qur'an."
* I wish to be enlightened and have peace of heart?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Remember Death".
* I wish to be protected against enemies?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Trust in Allah".
* I wish to follow the Straight Path?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Do good to others for Allah's sake".
* What should I do so that Allah does not abase me?
Holy Prophet Replied, " Do not respond to the desires of your flesh".
* I wish to have a long life?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Praise and thank Allah".
* I wish for prosperity?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Be in a state of ablution at all times".
* How can I save myself from the hellfire?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Protect your eyes and your tongue and
your hands and what is below your waistline against evil".
* How can I cleanse myself from my sins?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Shed tears for what you have
done and repent by undoing what you have done wrong".
* I wish to be a respectable person?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Then, don't ask for anything from anybody".
* I wish to be honorable?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Then don't divulge the wrong doings of anybody".
* What should I do to protect myself from the tortures of the grave?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Recite the Surah Mulk".
* What should one do to be rich?
Holy Prophet Replied, "Read the Surah Muzammil".
* How should I calm my fear of the day of last judgment?
Holy Prophet Replied,"Remember Allah before you eat anything and before you sleep".
