Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 104 Narrated by<br />

Ali ibn AbuTalib<br />

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: No servant will be a believer (in the true sense of the term) till he affirms his<br />

faith in four things: 1. He bears witness to the fact that there is no god but Allah. 2. I am His Messenger whom He has sent<br />

with Truth. 3. He affirms his faith in death and in the life after death. 4. He affirms his faith in the Divine Decree.<br />

Transmitted by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.<br />

Hadith 8.800B<br />

Narrated by<br />

Ikrima from Ibn Abbas<br />

Allah's Apostle said, "When a slave (of Allah) commits illegal sexual intercourse, he is not a believer at the time of committing<br />

it; and if he steals, he is not a believer at the time of stealing; and if he drinks an alcoholic drink, when he is not a believer at<br />

the time of drinking it; and he is not a believer when he commits a murder." 'Ikrima said: I asked Ibn Abbas, "How is faith<br />

taken away from him?" He said, Like this," by clasping his hands and then separating them, and added, "But if he repents,<br />

faith returns to him like this," by clasping his hands again.<br />

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith<br />

Hadith 9.600<br />

Anas<br />

I heard the Prophet saying, "On the Day of Resurrection I will intercede and say, "O my Lord! Admit into Paradise (even)<br />

those who have faith equal to a mustard seed in their hearts."<br />

FAULTS:<br />

15:85 - We created not the heavens the earth and all between them but for just ends. And the Hour<br />

is surely coming (when this will be manifest). So overlook (any human faults) with gracious<br />

forgiveness. 20052006<br />

2005 Allah's Creation is all for a true, just, and righteous purpose. Cf. x. 5. It is not for mere whim or sport. xxi. 16. (15.85)<br />

2006 The Hour will not be long delayed when the true Design and Pattern of Life will be manifest. We must not be impatient,<br />

if there appear to be, to our limited vision, apparent injustices. We must bear and forbear, and as far as our own<br />

personal feelings are concerned, we must overlook other people's faults with "a gracious forgiveness". (15.85)<br />

2:263 – Kind words and the covering of faults are better than charity followed by<br />

injury. Allah is free of all wants and he is Most Forbearing. 309<br />

309 A very high standard is set for charity. (1) It must be in the way of God. (2) It must expect no reward in this world. (3)<br />

It must not be followed by references or reminders to the act of charity. (4) Still less should any annoyance or injury<br />

be caused to the recipient; e.g. by boasting that the giver relieved the person in the hour of need. Indeed, the<br />

kindness and the spirit which turns a blind eye to other people's faults or short-comings is the essence of charity:<br />

these things are better than charity if charity is spoilt by tricks that do harm. At the same time, while no reward is to be<br />

expected, there is abundant reward from God - material, moral, and spiritual - according to His own good pleasure and<br />

plan. If we spend in the way of God, it is not as if God was in need of our charity. On the contrary our short-comings<br />

are so great that we require His utmost forbearance before any good that we can do can merit His praise or reward.<br />

Our motives are so mixed that our best may really be very poor if judged by a very strict standard. (2.26<br />

3:159 - It is part of the Mercy of Allah that thou dost deal gently with them. Wert thou severe or<br />

harsh-hearted they would have broken away from about thee; so pass over (their faults) and<br />

ask for (Allah's) forgiveness for them; and consult them in affairs (of moment). Then when<br />

thou hast taken a decision put thy trust in Allah. For Allah loves those who put their trust (in<br />

Him). 471<br />

9:102 - And (there are) others who have acknowledged their faults. They mixed a righteous action with<br />

another that was bad. It may be that Allah will relent toward them. Lo! Allah is Relenting, Merciful.<br />

.11:87 - Truly thou art the one that forbeareth with faults and is right-minded!" 15861587<br />

45:31 - "O our people hearken to the one who invites (you) to Allah and believe in him: He will<br />

forgive you your faults and deliver you from a Penalty Grievous. 4810<br />

48:2 - That Allah may forgive thee thy faults of the past and those to follow; fulfil His favor to thee;<br />

and guide thee on the Straight Way; 4867<br />
