ḤADĪTH OF THE DAY
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ هِلاَلٍ الصَّوَّافُ الْبَصْرِىُّ حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنْ أَبِى طَارِقٍ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم مَنْ يَأْخُذُ عَنِّى هَؤُلاَءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ فَيَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ أَوْ يُعَلِّمُ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ. فَقَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ فَقُلْتُ أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِى فَعَدَّ خَمْسًا وَقَالَ اتَّقِ الْمَحَارِمَ تَكُنْ أَعْبَدَ النَّاسِ وَارْضَ بِمَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ تَكُنْ أَغْنَى النَّاسِ وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَى جَارِكَ تَكُنْ مُؤْمِنًا وَأَحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ تَكُنْ مُسْلِمًا وَلاَ تُكْثِرِ الضَّحِكَ فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الضَّحِكِ تُمِيتُ الْقَلْبَ. قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ لاَ نَعْرِفُهُ إِلاَّ مِنْ حَدِيثِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ. وَالْحَسَنُ لَمْ يَسْمَعْ مِنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ شَيْئًا هَكَذَا رُوِىَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَيُونُسَ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ وَعَلِىِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ قَالُوا لَمْ يَسْمَعِ الْحَسَنُ مِنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ. وَرَوَى أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ النَّاجِىُّ عَنِ الْحَسَنِ هَذَا الْحَدِيثَ قَوْلَهُ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرْ فِيهِ عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِىِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم.
Abū-Hurayrah said, "The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, asked, 'Who shall take these words from me and act upon them, or teach them to someone who will act upon them?' I replied, 'I will, Messenger of God.' So, he took my hand and enumerated five [things], saying, 'Be mindful of what is forbidden [by God] and you will be the best of worshippers. Be pleased with what God has decreed for you, and you will be the richest of people. Be good to your neighbor, and you will be a believer. Love for others what you love for yourself, and you will be a Muslim. And, do not laugh excessively for, indeed, excessive laughter deadens the heart.'" Click on ḥadīth to read more

Whenever ‘Uthmān Ibn-‘Affān stood before a grave, he wept until his beard was wet. He was asked, “When Paradise and the Fire are mentioned, you do not weep, yet you weep over this?!” He replied that the Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, said, “Indeed, the grave is the first abode of the Hereafter; whoever escapes it, then what follows is easier. And whoever does not escape it, then what follows is even tougher.” The Messenger of God, peace and blessings of God be upon him, also said, “I have never come across a more terrifying scene than the grave.” Click on ḥadīth to read more
