The Book of Iman (Faith)

 13. Mu´adh bin Jabal narrated: I was riding behind the Prophet salla alayhi wa sallam and between me and him there was only the back of the saddle, he said; ´´O Mu´adh bin Jabal!´´ I replied, ´´I am at your beck and call with utmost pleasure O Allah´s Messenger.´´ Then he proceeded for a while and said, ´´O Mu´adh!´´ I replied, ´´I am at your beck and call with utmost pleasure O Allah´s Messenger.´´ Then he proceeded a while and said, ´´O Mu´adh!´´ I replied, ´´I am at your beck and call with utmost pleasure, O Allah´s Messenger.´´ He said; ´Do you know what is Allah´s right upon the slaves´´ I said, ´´Allah and His Messenger know best.´´ He said. ´´Allah´s right upon the slave is that they should worship Him (Alone) and not associate anything else with Him.´´ Then he proceeded for a while, and then said, ´´O Mu´adh bin Jabal!´´ I replied, ´´I am at your beck and call with utmost pleasure O Allah´s Messenger,´´ He said, ´´Do you know what is the right of the slaves upon Allah if they do that?´´ I replied, ´´Allah and His Messenger know best.´He said; ´´(The right of the slaves upon Allah is that) He will not punish them (if they do that).´´

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.
