51) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: First of the things a slave will be questioned about on the day of Judgment will be the gifts of Allah. It would be said to him: Did we not give you a healthy body, and did we not saturate you with cold water.

Companions of Allah's Messenger (pbuh) on his Ummah

52) Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: The tribe of Quraish said to the Prophet (pbuh): Supplicate your Lord that He transforms (the rocks of) Safa into gold. Then we would believe in you. He (the Prophet (pbuh)) asked: Really, will you? They said: Yes. He (the narrator said: So the Prophet (pbuh) invoked Allah (sw)to this effect). Then Jibrael came to him and said: Your Lord conveys His greetings to you. and says: If you wish, I shall transform Safa into gold but those who disbelieve after that will suffer a punishment so severe that nobody in the Worlds would suffer, or if you wish, I can open for them the door of repentance and mercy. The Prophet (pbuh) said: Rather, the door of repentance and mercy.

53) Narrated badah Ibn As-Samit: One day the companions did not find the Prophet (pbuh) among them. (Normally) when they camped They would lodge him in the middle (of them). They were anxious and thinking that Allah might have selected it some other companions for him. Suddenly, they saw him coming towards them and exclaimed (Allah is All-Great) and they said: O Allah's Messenger (pbuh)!We feared that Allah must have selected for you some companions other than ourselves. Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: No. Rather you are my companions in this World and the Hereafter. Indeed Allah, The Almighty, awakened me and said: O Muhammad! Verily, I have neither sent any Prophet nor a Messenger without a wish to which I respond and that I now grant you too. So O Muhammad! You should also ask Me something which would be given to you. The prophet said: My wish is an intercession for my followers on the Day of Resurrection., Abu Bakr asked: O Allah's Messenger (pbuh) ! What is intercession? He the Prophet (pbuh) said: I will say: O Lord! My intercession is the pledge I have kept with you. Thereupon, the Lord will say: Yes. Then my Lord will take out the rest of my followers from the Hell and admit them into Paradise. (This Hadith is sound and related in Musnad of Ahmad.)

Superiority of the Day of 'Arafah when The Lord ( becomes proud of the pilgrims

54) Narrated 'Aisha that Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: There is no day other than the day of 'Arafah when Allah releases more of His slaves from Hell. Indeed, He draws near and proudly tells His angels about The pilgrims. Then He asks: What do these slaves of Mine seek? (so, he forgives them.)

(This Hadith is sound and related by Muslim)

55) Narrated Jabir: Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: No other days are better to Allah than the first ten days of Dhil-Hijjah. The narrator said: A man asked: O Allah's Messenger (pbuh) ! Are these days better or the similar number of days of fighting in the cause of Allah? The Prophet (pbuh) ) said: These days are better than the same number of days of fighting for the sake of Allah . And no other day is better to Allah than the day of 'Arafah when Allah descends to the lowest heaven (world's sky) and boasts of the people on earth to the inhabitants of heaven (angels) and says: Look at My slaves who have come with grown hair covered with dust to perform Hajj. They have come from all directions hoping for My mercy though they haven't seen My punishment. So there is no other day than the day of 'Arafah when the people are released abundantly from the fire.

(This Hadith is sound for others too and related by Ibn Habban.)

Superiority of Fasting (saum)

56) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: Allah said: Every good deed performed by son of Adam is a credit for him but fasting is exclusively mine and I give reward for it. Fasting is a shield against sins. Therefore, when any of you is fasting he should neither indulge in obscene language nor raise voice. If any one abuses him or quarrels with him, he should say: I am fasting. By Him on whose hand is Muhammad's soul! The smell coming out of mouth of a person fasting is more pleasant to Allah than the smell of musk. And he who fasts has two occasions of joy. One is when he breaks the fast, and the Second is: when he meets his Lord.

(This Hadith is sound and related by Al-Bukhari and Muslim.)

60) Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari Allah's Messenger (pbuh) said: When the son of a slave dies, Allah says to His angels though He knows best. You have taken away the soul of My slave's son. They say: Yes. Allah says: You have taken out the fruit of his heart. They say: Yes. Then Allah says: What did My slave say? They say: He praised You and read the words:

Verily, To Allah we belong and to Him we shall return.) (2:156)
