Chapter. Modesty is (part) of Faith

 30. Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Faith (Belief) consists of more than seventy (or more than sixty) branches (i.e., parts). The most excellent one of them is to say La ilaha illallah (none has the right to be worshipped except Allah) and the least and lowest of them is to remove the injurious and harmful things from the path. And modesty (Al-Haya´) is a part of Faith.´´

31. Abu Qatadah reported: We were sitting with ´Imran bin Hussain in a company and Bushair bin Ka´b was also amongst us. Imran narrated to us on that day that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´Al-Haya´ (modesty etc.) is an absolute goodness (or said: modesty is a complete goodnes).´´ Upon this Bushair bin Ka´b said: ´´Verily we find in some books (or books of wisdom) that it (Al-Haya´) leads to tranquility (peave of mind) and solemnity for the sake of Allah and there is also weakness in it. ´´ Imran was so much enraged that his eyes became reddish and he said, ´´I amd narrating you the Hadith of the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam and you are making contradication in it.´´ Imran reiterated the Hadith. Bushair repeated (the same thing).Imran then got enraged. We asserted: ´´Verily, Bushair is one amongst us, O Abu Nujaid! There is nothing wrong with him.´´

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.
