Virtues of La Hawla Wala Quwwata

I heard Mundhir at-Tuzi reporting Ibn Hanafiya who said,

"My father sent me saying, 'Take this letter to `Uthman for it contains the orders of the Prophet (ﷺ) concerning the Sadaqa.' "

The Prophet (ﷺ) beckoned with his hand towards Yemen and said, "Belief is there." The harshness and mercilessness are the qualities of those farmers etc, who are busy with their camels and pay no attention to the religion (is towards the east) from where the side of the head of Satan will appear; those are the tribes of Rabi`a and Mudar.

I did not see anything so resembling minor sins as what Abu Huraira said from the Prophet, who said, "Allah has written for the son of Adam his inevitable share of adultery whether he is aware of it or not: The adultery of the eye is the looking (at something which is sinful to look at), and the adultery of the tongue is to utter (what it is unlawful to utter), and the innerself wishes and longs for (adultery) and the private parts turn that into reality or refrain from submitting to the temptation."

I reached him (the Prophet (ﷺ) ) while in the shade of the Ka`ba; he was saying, "They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka`ba! They are the losers, by the Lord of the Ka`ba!" I said (to myself ), "What is wrong with me? Is anything improper detected in me? What is wrong with me? Then I sat beside him and he kept on saying his statement. I could not remain quiet, and Allah knows in what sorrowful state I was at that time. So I said, ' Who are they (the losers)? Let My father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!" He said, "They are the wealthy people, except the one who does like this and like this and like this (i.e., spends of his wealth in Allah's Cause).

On the authority of others, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said, "No Punishment exceeds the flogging of the ten stripes, except if one is guilty of a crime necessitating a legal punishment prescribed by Allah."

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) did not observe fast in any month of the year more than in the month of Sha'ban, and used to say: Do as many deeds as you are capable of doing, for Allah will not become weary (of giving you reward), but you would be tired (of doing good deeds) ; and he also said: The deed liked most by Allah is one to which the doer adheres constantly even if it is small.

"One day, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) recited this Ayah: 'And if you turn away, He will replace you with other people; then they will not be like you (47:38).' They said: 'And who will replace us?' So the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) patted the shoulder of Salman, then he said: 'This one and his people, this one and his people.'"

"Abu Bakr [may Allah be pleased with him] said: "O Messenger of Allah! You have become gray.' He said: "I have gone gray from (Surat) Hud, Al-Waqi`ah, Al-Mursalat and `Amma Yatasa'alun and Idhash-Shamsu Kuwwirat.'"

Abu Hurairah said: "Once when the Prophet of Allah was sitting with his Companions, a cloud came above them, so the Prophet of Allah said: "Do you know what this is?' They said: "Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said: "These are the clouds that are to drench the earth, which Allah [Blessed and Most High] dispatches to people who are not grateful to Him, nor supplicate to Him.' Then he said: "Do you know what is above you?' They said: "Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said: "Indeed it is a preserved canopy of the firmament whose surge is restrained.' Then he said: "Do you know how much is between you and between it?' They said: "Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said: "Between you and it [is the distance] of five-hundred year.' Then he said: "Do you know what is above that.' They said: "Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said: "Verily, above that are two Heavens, between the two of them there is a distance of five-hundred years' "“ until he enumerated seven Heavens "“ "What is between each of the two Heavens is what is between the heavens and the earth.' Then he said: "Do you know what is above that?' They said: "Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said: "Verily, above that is the Throne between it and the heavens is a distance [like] what is between two of the heavens.' Then he said: "Do you know what is under you?' They said: "Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said: "Indeed it is the earth.' Then he said: "Do you know what is under that?' They said: "Allah and His Messenger know better.' He said: "Verily, below it is another earth, between the two of which is a distance of five-hundred years.' Until he enumerated seven earths: "Between every two earths is a distance of five-hundred years.' Then he said: "By the One in Whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad! If you were to send [a man] down with a rope to the lowest earth, then he would descend upon Allah.' Then he recited: He is Al-Awwal, Al-Akhir, Az-Zahir Al-Batin, and He has knowledge over all things."

the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “The best remembrance is: ‘there is none worthy of worship except Allah (Lā ilāha illallāh)’ and the best supplication is: ‘All praise is due to Allah (Al-ḥamdulillāh).’”

"Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness, and He grants reward for it that He does not grant for harshness."

"Allah is Gentle and loves gentleness in all things."

They mentioned Banu Najiyah in the presence of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) and he said: “They are a tribe who belong to me.”
