عن النعمان بن بشير رضي الله عنهما عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:(مـثــل الـقــائـم عـلـى حـدود الله، والـواقـع فـيــهـا، كـمــثـل قـوم اسـتــهـمــوا عـلـى سـفــيـنــة، فـأصـاب بـعــضـهــم أعـلاها وبـعــضـهــم أسـفــلـهــا، فـكــان الـذيـن فـي أسـفــلـهــا إذا اسـتــقـوا مـن الـمــاء مـرّوا عـلـى مَـن فـوقـهــم، فـقــالـوا: لـو أنـّا خـرقـنــا فـي نـصــيـبــنـا خـرقاً ولـم نـؤذِ مَـن فـوقـنــا، فـإن تـركـوهـم ومـا أرادوا هـلــكـوا جـمــيـعــاً، وإن أخـذوا عـلـى أيـديـهــم نـجــوا، ونـجــوا جـمــيـعــاً)

حديث أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال من نفس عن مؤمن كربة من كرب الدنيا نفس الله عنه كربة من كرب يوم القيامة ومن يسر على معسر يسر الله عليه في الدنيا والآخرة ومن ستر مسلمًا ستره الله في الدنيا والآخرة والله في عون العبد ما كان العبد في عون أخيه ومن سلك طريقا يلتمس فيه علمًا سهل الله له به طريقا إلى الجنة وما اجتمع قوم في بيت من بيوت الله يتلون كتاب الله ويتدارسونه بينهم إلا نزلت عليهم السكينة وغشيتهم الرحمة وحفتهم الملائكة وذكرهم الله فيمن عنده ومن أبطأ به عمله لم يسرع به نسبه رواه مسلم بهذا اللفظ
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (peace & blessings be upon him) as saying: “He who alleviates a suffering of a believer out of the sufferings of this life, Allah would alleviate his suffering out of the sufferings of the Day of Resurrection; and he who finds relief for one who is hard pressed, Allah would make things easy for him in the Hereafter; and he who conceals (the faults) of a Muslim, Allah would conceal his faults in this life and in the Hereafter. Constantly, Allah is at the back of a servant as long as the servant is at the back of his brother; and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah would make that path easy leading to Paradise for him; and those persons who assemble in a house of Allah (mosques) to recite the Book of Allah and learn and teach it to one another, there would descend upon them the tranquility, mercy would cover them, the angels would surround them, and Allah makes a mention of them in the presence of those near Him”.

Hadith Minhaji #8
عن أبي موسى الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال : قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : مثل الجليس الصالح والجليس السوء : كحامل المسك ، ونافخ الكير . فحامل المسك : إما أن يحذيك ، وإما أن تبتاع منه ، وإما أن تجد منه ريحا طيبة . ونافخ الكير : إما أن يحرق ثيابك ، وإما أن تجد منه ريحا خبيثة" متفق عليه
“Abu Musa reported that Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: The similitude of good company and that of bad company is that of the owner of musk and of the one (iron-smith) blowing bellows, and the owner of musk would either offer you free of charge or you would buy it from him or you would. smell its pleasant odour, and so far as one who blows the. bellows is concerned, he would either burn your clothes or you shall have to smell its repugnant smell.
Hadith Minhaji # 7
عن سيدنا عمر ابن الخطاب رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "إن من عباد الله أناسا، ما هم بأنبياء ولا شهداء، يغبطهم الأنبياء والشهداء يوم القيامة بمكانتهم من الله". قالوا: يا رسول الله أخبرنا من هم ؟ قال: "هم قوم تحابوا بروح الله على غير أرحام بينهم ولا أموال يتعاطونها، فو الله إن وجوههم لنور، وإنهم لعلى نور، لا يخافون إذا خاف الناس، ولا يحزنون إذا حزن الناس" وقرأ هذه الآية: "ألا إن أولياء الله لا خوف عليهم ولا هم يحزنون" أخرجه أبو داوود
Umar ibn al-Khattab (may God be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: “There are people from the servants of Allah who are neither prophets nor martyrs; the prophets and martyrs will envy them on the Day of Resurrection for their rank from Allah, the Most High. They (the people) asked: Tell us, Apostle of Allah, who are they? He replied: They are people who love one another for the spirit of Allah (i.e. the Qur'an), without having any mutual kinship and giving property to one. I swear by Allah, their faces will glow and they will be (sitting) in (pulpits of) light. They will have no fear (on the Day) when the people will have fear, and they will not grieve when the people will grieve. He then recited the following Qur'anic verse: "Behold! Verily for the friends of Allah there is no fear, nor shall they grieve."

Hadith Al-Khilafah
Imam Ahmed reported, on the authority of an authenticated chain of reporters, that God’s messenger (grace and peace be upon him) said:
“Prophecy shall last amongst you as long as God wants, then God shall raise it whence he wants.
Then shall come the reign of sarcastic monarchy, which shall last as long as God wants.
Then God shall raise it whence he wants. Then shall come the reign of despotic monarchy, which shall last as long as God wants, then God shall raise it whence he wants. Then shall come the reign of caliphate on the pattern of the prophet’s tradition”.
فعن حذيفة بن اليمان رضي الله عنه قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم (تكون النبوة فيكم ما شاء الله أن تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء أن يرفعها ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة فتكون ما شاء الله أن تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء الله أن يرفعها ثم تكون ملكا عاضّاً فيكون ما شاء الله أن يكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء أن يرفعها ثم تكون ملكا جبرية فتكون ما شاء الله أن تكون ثم يرفعها إذا شاء أن يرفعها ثم تكون خلافة على منهاج النبوة ثم سكت قال حبيب فلما قام عمر بن عبد العزيز وكان يزيد بن النعمان بن بشير في صحابته فكتبت إليه بهذا الحديث أذكره إياه فقلت له إني أرجو أن يكون أمير المؤمنين يعني عمر بعد الملك العاض والجبرية فأدخل كتابي على عمر بن عبد العزيز فسر به وأعجبه) رواه أحمد والطيالسي والبزار، وعزاه البوصيري لابن أبي شيبة وللطبراني في الأوسط مختصراً، وقال الحافظ الهيثمي: رجاله ثقات[1]. وقد ورد بنحوه عن بعض الصحابة أيضا,
Hadith Jibril
On the authority of Omar, who said :
“ One day while we were sitting with the messenger of Allah there appeared before us a man whose clothes were exceedingly white and whose hair was exceedingly black; no signs of journeying were to be seen on him and none of us knew him.
He walked up and sat down by the prophet. Resting his knees against his and placing the palms of his hands on his thighs, he said:"O Muhamed, tell me about Islam". The messenger of Allah said: "Islam is to testify that there is no god but Allah and Muhamed is the messenger of Allah, to perform the prayers, to pay the zakat, to fast in Ramadhan, and to make the pilgrimage to the House if you are able to do so." He said:"You have spoken rightly", and we were amazed at him asking him and saying that he had spoken rightly.
He said: "Then tell me about Iman."He said:"It is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, and the Last Day, and to believe in divine destiny, both the good and the evil thereof." He said:"You have spoken rightly".
He said: " Then tell me about Ihssan." He said: "It is to worship Allah as though you are seeing Him, and while you see Him not yet truly He sees you".
He said: "Then tell me about the Hour". He said: "The one questioned about it knows no better than the questioner."
He said: "Then tell me about its signs." He said: "That the slave-girl will give birth to her mistress and that you will see the barefooted, naked, destitute herdsman competing in constructing lofty buildings."
Then he took himself off and I stayed for a time. Then he said: "O Omar, do you know who the questioner was?" I said: "Allah and His messenger know best". He said: "He was Jebreel (Gabriel), who came to you to teach you your religion”. Narrated by Muslim
