Abu Hurairah

20. Narrated: The Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´By Him in Whose Hand is the life of Muhammad, he who amongst this nation, the Jews or Christians hears about me but does not believe in that which I have been sent with, and dies in this state (of disbelief), he shall be one of the dwellers of Hell-fire.´´ residents of Khurasan asked him: O Abu ´Amr! Some of the people amongst us who belong to Khurasan say that a person who freed his slave-woman and then married her, is like one who rode over a sacrifical camel (animal).´´ Sha´bi said: Abu Burdah´s father narrated that Allah´s Messenger salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Three persons will have a double reward: (1) A person from the People of the Scriptures (a Jew or a Christian) who believed in his Prophet (Jesus or Moses) and then he found the Prophet (Muhammad) salla alayhi wa sallam so he believed in him also (i.e., embraced Islam), followed him and confirmed his truth, so he has a double reward. (2) A slave who fulfils his duties to Allah and also the obligations to his master, has a double reward. (3) A person who has a bondwoman and feeds her good, teaches her good manners and manumits her and then marries her, he has also a double reward.´´ Sha´bi added to that Khursani man: Acept this Hadith without (giving) anything. Formerly a man was (obliged) to travle to Al-Madinah even for a smaller Hadith than this.

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.
