Chapter Redressing the wrong with hand, tongue and hearts is part of Iman (Faith)

 34.Tariq bin Shahab said: It was Marwan who was the first to deliver Khutbah before Eid Prayer: a man stood up and said: ´´Prayer should precede Khutbah.´´ He (Marwan) said: ´´This has been done away with.´´ Upon this Abu Sa´id remarked, ´´This man has done his duty. I heard the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam saying: ´Whoever of you witnesses the wrong, let him correct it with his hand; and if he cannot, then with his tongue; and if he cannot, let him abhor it in his hearts; this refects the weakest level of Iman.´´´

35. Abdullah bin Mas´ud narrated that the Messenger of Allah salla alayhi wa sallam said: ´´There was no Prophet whom Allah sent before me to his nation but had among his people disciples and companions who followed his Sunnah and obeyed is command. Then there came after them their successors who said what they did not practice, and practiced what they were not commanded to do. Whoever strove against them with his hand is a believer, and whoever strove against them with his tongue is a believer, and whoever strove against them with is heart is a believer, and beyond that there his heart is a believer, and beyond that there is Iman of the weight a mustard seed.´´ Abu Rafi said: I narrated this Hadith to ´Abdullah bin Umar but he denied it. Then Ibn Mas´ud came who stayed at Qanat, and Abdullah bin Umar wanted me to accompany him on a visit to him (as ´Abdullah bin Mas´ud was ailing), so I went with him. As we sat, I asked Ibn Mas´ud about this Hadith. He narated it in the same way as I narrated it to Ibn ´Umar.

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.
