Hadith: Kharijah Ibn Hudhafah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that one day Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam came to us and said: Allah has granted you an additional Salat, which is better for you than red camels; this Salat is Al-Witr.

Hadith of the Day
Hadith: 'Ali Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: O People of the Qur'an! Offer Witr Salat, for verily Allah is Witr, and He loves the Witr. (Abu Dawud: 1416)
 
Note: Witr in Arabic refers to His Oneness, that is being without partners. Allah also loves actions done in odd numbers. Many examples of it are found in Shari'ah and Sunnah. Witr Salat is loved by Allah because it has an odd number of Rak'at. (Majma' Bihar-ul-Anwar)

Hadith of the Day
Hadith: Muslim Ibn Harith At-tamimiyi Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam told him secretly: When you complete the Maghrib Salat, then recite seven times this Du'a: Allahumma Ajirna Minan Naar (O Allah! Protect me from the Fire). After saying this if you happen to die the same night, you will be protected from the Fire. When you have offered your Fajr Salat repeat the same. For undoubtedly, if you happen to die the same day, you will be protected from the Fire. (Abu Dawud: 5079)
 
Note: Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam by giving this advice secretly wanted to stress its importance.

Hadith of the Day
Abu Musa Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: He who offers the Salat of two cool times, enters Paradise. (Bukhari: 574)
 
Note: The Salat of two cool times refers to 'Asr, the beginning of the cooler hours of the day, and Fajr which is at the end of the cool hours of the night. Fajr Salat is difficult to offer because of the tendency to go to sleep at this time, and 'Asr is difficult because this is the time of intense worldly pre-occupation. He who is constant in performing these two Salats will more easily maintain the other three. (Mirqat-ul-Mafatih)

Hadith of the Day
Hadith: Abu Umama Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: One who leaves his house having Wudu to offer obligatory Salat, his reward is like that of a person performing Hajj in the state of Ihram. And the one who goes out, bearing the hardship, solely to offer Salat Ad-Duha, he gets the reward as that of a person performing Umrah. And the offering of Salat after a previous Salat uninterrupted by any irrelevant talk or action, is recorded in Illiyyin (an auspicious register of righteous deeds). (Abu Dawud: 558)
 
Note: 1. Ihram pertains to numerous constraints imposed on those who travel for Hajj and 'Umrah to Makkah. 2. Duha Salat is a Nafl (optional) prayer before mid-day.

I, my sister and, Fatima, daughter of Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, went to him and explained our difficulties, and asked for some prisoners for (domestic) help. Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: As for the servants, the orphans of Badr are more deserving than you, but I will tell you something better than a servant; after every Salat, recite: Subhanallah (Glory be to Allah. Who is above all faults), Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) and Allahuakbar (Allah is Greatest) 33 times each, and recite once (the following): La ilaha illallahu wahdahu la sharika lahu, lahul mulku, wa lahul-hamdu, wa Huwa 'ala kulli shai'in Qadir (None is worthy of worship but Allah; He is One, He has no partner, His is the Kingdom, and for Him is all the Praise, and He has power over all things.)

Hadith of the Day
Hadith: Anas ibn Malik Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said, while Mu'adh Radiyallahu 'anhu was riding behind him on the same camel's saddle: O Mu'adh ibn Jabal! Mu'adh replied: Here I am at your service, may you be blessed, O Rasulallah! He again said: O Mu'adh! He again replied: Here I am at your service, may you be blessed, O Rasulallah! May you be blessed, this happened thrice, then Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Anyone who bears witness that there is none worthy of worship except Allah and that Muhammad is His Messenger truthfully from his heart, then Allah will forbid him from the Fire. Mu'adh said: O Rasulallah! Should I not inform people that they may rejoice? He replied: Consequently, they will depend on this alone (and give up their good deeds). However, Mu'adh Radiyallahu 'anhu narrated this hadith, at the time of his death, for fear of the sin (of concealing knowledge). (Bukhari: 128)

Note: Commentators give two explanations to the Ahadith in which Hell (Fire) is forbidden, only on bearing witness of La ilaha illallahu Muhammad-ur-Rasulullah "There is none worthy of worship except Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah". One is deliverance from eternal Punishment of Hell, i.e. they would not be in Hell forever like unbelievers or polytheists, though they would be in Hell for such time until Punishment for their sins is over. The second meaning is that bearing testimony to La ilaha illallahu Muhammad-ur-Rasulullah encompasses the whole of Islam. One who testifies to this truly and thoughtfully will indeed mould his life according to the tenets of Islam. (Mazahir Haque)

Hadith of the Day
Hani Rahimahullahu, the freed slave of 'Uthman Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that when 'Uthman stood by a grave he would weep until his tears wet his beard. So, he was asked; When Paradise and Hell are mentioned, you do not weep, but (why do) you weep at this (sight of the grave)? So he replied: Indeed, Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Verily, the grave is the first stage among the stages of the Hereafter; if one is saved from (the Punishment of) it then what is to follow will be easier. And if one does not find safety from it, then what is to follow shall be more severe than it. And Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: I have not seen a sight more horrifying than (the Punishment of) the grave. (Tirmidhi: 2308)
