H 250 H "Whosoever brings about the reconciliation between people and attains good or says that which is good is not a liar. I (Umm Kulthum, daughter of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her), did not hear him approve of what most people say (when they lie) except in three situations: war, reforming between people, and talk between a husband and wife." R 250 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Umm Kulthum, daughter of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, related that she heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say this.
ACT KINDLY H H 251 "The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, heard two men debating loudly with one another outside his door. One of them begged the other to agree to reduce the amount of the debt he owed him and to deal kindly with him. The other said: "By Allah, I shall not do it." The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, went out to them and asked: 'Which one of you is it who swears by Allah that he will not act kindly?' The man said: 'It is I, O Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, (then I am agreeable to) what ever he wants.'" R 251 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to the Mother of Believers, Lady Ayesha wife of the Prophet, may Allah be pleased with her, who related this.
HOW TO DRAW THE ATTENTION OF THE IMAM IF HE MAKES AN ERROR IN PRAYER H H 252 The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, learned that a dispute had arisen between members of the children of Amr, the son of Auf. He and some of his Companions went to reconcile between them and were detained by their hospitality. The time for prayer arrived and Bilal went to Abu Bakr and asked him: "The Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, has been detained and it is time for prayer, will you lead the people in prayer?" He replied: "Yes, if you wish." Bilal made the call to prayer and Abu Bakr stepped forward and the prayer commenced. Then, the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, arrived and walked down the rows taking his place in the first row. Thereupon the worshipers began to clap (to signal his arrival). Abu Bakr was engrossed in the prayer and did not hear. The clapping increased and then he noticed the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, who signaled to him to remain in his place and continue with the prayer. But Abu Bakr raised his hands, praised Allah, stepped backwards and took his place in the row. The Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, stepped forward and led the prayer. When it was over he faced the congregation and said: 'When you encounter something during the prayer why do you start to clap? Clapping is only for women. When any of you encounter something during the prayer he should say: 'Exalted is Allah.' This is certain to draw attention. And, Abu Bakr, what stopped you from continuing to lead the prayer after I had signaled to you?' He replied: 'I did not think it fitting that the son of Abu Kahafah should lead the prayer in front of the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him." R 252 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Sahl son of Sa'ad Sa'idi who related this.
ON THE SUBJECT OF 32 THE SUPERIORITY OF POOR AND WEAK MUSLIMS Let us start by reading a verse from the Koran Allah, the Exalted says: "And be patient with those who call to their Lord, in the morning and evening, desiring His Face." 18:28 Koran
INHABITANTS OF PARADISE AND OF THE FIRE H 253 "Shall I tell you who are the inhabitants of Paradise? Every weak person and those looked down upon; who, if he asks Allah by an oath, Allah will fulfill it. Now shall I tell you who are the inhabitants of the Fire? They are the people who are ignorant, impertinent, proud and arrogant." R 253 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Haritha the son of Wahb who related that he heard the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, say this.
CHARITY H 249 "For each day on which the sun rises, charity is incumbent upon each limb of the human body. To bring about a just reconciliation between two parties is charity. Helping a person to mount his animal, or to load his baggage on to it is charity. A kind word is charity. Every step taken going to the mosque for prayer is charity. The removal of something causing an inconvenience from a street is charity." R 249 Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Hurairah who related that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
248- وعن أَبي هريرة رضي الله عنه ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم : "كُلُّ سُلاَمَى مِنَ النَّاسِ عَلَيهِ صَدَقَةٌ ، كُلَّ يَوْمٍ تَطْلُعُ فِيهِ الشَّمْسُ : تَعْدِلُ بَيْنَ الاثْنَينِ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَتُعينُ الرَّجُلَ في دَابَّتِهِ فَتَحْمِلُهُ عَلَيْهَا ، أَوْ تَرْفَعُ لَهُ عَلَيْهَا مَتَاعَهُ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَالكَلِمَةُ الطَّيِّبَةُ صَدَقةٌ ، وَبِكُلِّ خَطْوَةٍ تَمشِيهَا إِلَى الصَّلاةِ صَدَقَةٌ ، وَتُميطُ الأَذى عَنِ الطَّريقِ صَدَقَةٌ" مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ . ومعنى" تَعدِلُ بينهما" : تُصْلِحُ بينهما بالعدل .
