The Book of Iman (Faith)

 8. Safwan bin Muhriz said that Jundab bin Abdullah Al-Bajali during the stormy says of Ibn Zubair, sent a message to As´as bin Salamah and said: ´´Gather some men from your brothers so that I should talk to them.´´ He sent a messenger to them (members of his family). When they had assembled, Jundab came there with a yellow gooded cloak on him. He said: ´´Talk what you were busy in talking,´´ The talk went on by turns, till there came his (Jundab´s) turn. He took off the gooded cloask from his head and sai: ´I have come to you with no other intention but to narrate to you a Hadith of your Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam: Verily, the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam sent a squad of the Muslims to a tribe of the polytheists. Both the armies confronted one another. There was a man among the army of polytheists who whenever intended to kill a man from among the Muslims, he killed him. amongst the Muslims was a man looking forward to (an opportunity of) his unmindfulness. He (the narrator) said: ´We talked that he was Usmah bin Zaid.´ When he raised his sword, he (the polytheist) uttered: ´La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah),´ but he (Usmah bin Zaid) killed him. When the messenger of the glad tidings came to the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam, he aksed him (about the events of the battle) and he informed him about the man (Usamah) and what he had done.

He called for him and asked him why he had killed him. He (Usamah) said: ´O Messenger of Allah, he struck the Muslims and killed such and such of them (and he named some of them). (He continued) I attacked him and when he saw the sword, he said: La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah),´ The Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´Did you kill him? He (Usamah) replied in the affirmative. He Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam remarked: ´What would you do with: La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), when it would come (before you) on the Da of Judgment?´ He (Usmah) said: ´O Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam seek forgiveness for me (from your Rubb).´ He (the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam) added nothing to it but kept saying: ´What would you fo with: La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped but Allah), when it would come (before you) on the Day of Judgment?´´´

Salvation

 None will be saved on the Day of Resurrection except he who used to worship alah alone with Whom there is no associate. As for the other gods, they will lead their adherents into the Fire.

Voluntary Fasting

 Fasting is one of the major acts of worship with which Allah redeems the fasting person from the Fire. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Fasting is a shield against the Fire (of Hell) just like the shield one of you would use during fighting.´´80 The supererogatory fasting has its virtue. The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´He who observes fast for a day in the path of Allah, He will remove his face from the Hell due to (the fast of) that day to the extent of seventy years.´ distance.´´81 The phrase ´in the path of Allah´ could either mean fasting a day sincerely, intending the pleasure of Allah; or fasting in the course of a military expedition in the path of Allah.

Backbiter and Tale-Bearer

 A backbiter is the individual who indugles in backiting which involves mentioning about your brother that which he would detest. The tale-bearer is the person who varries bad tale among the people in order to cause disaffection among them. These sins cause pervading tribulations, and enormous corruption also stems from them. Their perpetrators are among the worst of people and due to their capricious tongue, they speak as dictated by their whims and desires.  Their situation at the time of resurrection will be appalling as the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam mentioned, Whoever eats the flesh of his brother in the world (i.e. bacjbites), he will be presented to him on the Day of Resurrection and it will be said to him, Eat his dead as you have eaten him alive. He would eat him and he would scowl and scream.
