Praise be to Allah!
Assalamu `alaykum.
I hope everyone is well. Been a while since I posted on this forum.
Getting to the point: There are many deeds in Islam, which are very easy to do and yet at the same time carries a lot of reward, either in this dunya or the aakhirah. These maybe actions or statements, but the point is that they are easy to do. They are not as difficult (for most of the people) as waking for the night prayer, or as difficult as going out to seek knowledge etc.
It is reported on the Prophet :saw2:, on the authority of Abu Hurairah, that he said:
أعمار أمتي ما بين ستين إلى سبعين، وأقلهم من يجوز ذلك
The life span of my Ummah (ranges) between sixty and seventy years, and only a few pass this age.[Reported by al-Tirmidhi and others, and was authenticated by al-Dhahabi]
Although this is a short life span, Allah out of his mercy and justice has legislated actions for this ummah that are easy and small, yet are great in reward in the sight of Allah. This is from the bounties and favors of Allah upon us, as Allah says in Surah al-Hujurat:
فَضْلًا مِّنَ اللَّهِ وَنِعْمَةً وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ حَكِيمٌ
(It is) a bounty and favor from Allah. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise.
It is important to know and understand that our righteous deeds will come to us in the form of a beautiful person in the grave, to save us from the punishment of the grave and also will come as an intercessor for us on the day of Judgement. Thus, a smart individual will take time out and invest in his hereafter by performing as many righteous deeds as possible- even if they are small deeds. The Prophet :saw2: said, as reported by Bukhari and Muslim on the authority of Anas, that:
So how does this thread work?
In shaa'Allah everyone is welcome to contribute. But I would like to request those who contribute, to pay attention to the following rules:
1) The hadeeth you post must be an action that is easy to carry out by the general muslims.
2) The action mentioned in the hadeeth has a specific reward attached to it. For example: saying "La Hawla walaa quwwata illa billaah" is a treasure from the treasures of Jannah.
3) The hadeeth you post, must be with a reference. I.e. is it from Bukhari, Muslim, al-Tirmidhi etc.
4) If you quote a narration from outside Bukhari or muslim, then please mention who authenticated the narration.
5) Most importantly, please try and make sure that you act upon the hadeeth (if you are able to) before sharing it with others.
That's all for now. I'll soon post my first hadeeth on this thread.
Wassalamu `alaykum

"Three follow a dead person: His family members, his possessions and his deeds. Two of them return and one remains with him. His family and his possessions return; his deeds remain with him."
