Hadith of the Day
Miqdam Abu Karimah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: If the guest of people remains without hospitality till the morning, then it is the duty of every Muslim to help him, in taking from the crops and property of the host to the extent of the entertainment of one night. (Abu Dawud: 3751)
 
Note: This is a situation where there is no provision with the guest and he is thus constrained. Otherwise out of kindness and courtesy fulfilling a guest's needs is his right. (Mazahir Haque)

Hadith of the Day
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Indeed, Allah likes sneezing and dislikes yawning. So, when one of you sneezes, he should say Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah). It is a right on every Muslim who hears him to say Yarhamukallah (may Allah have mercy on you) in reply. Indeed, yawning comes from Shaitan. So when one of you yawns, he should restrain himself as much as possible, as Shaitan laughs at the person who yawns. (Bukhari: 6226)

Hadith of the Day
Abu Sa'id Al Khudri Radiyallahu 'anhu reports that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam in a Hadith Qudsi narrated: When the people of Paradise will have entered Paradise, and the people of the Fire will have entered the Fire, Allah Ta'ala will say: Take out from it whosoever had in his heart Iman equal to the weight of a mustard seed. Accordingly, they will be taken out from the Fire, blackened (by it). They will be cast into the River of Life from where they shall sprout afresh, as a seed sprouts on the bank of a torrential stream. Have you not seen how it comes out yellow and curved? (Bukhari: 22)

Hadith of the Day
'Abbas ibne-'Abdul Muttalib Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: He has indeed tasted the delightful flavour of Iman; who is pleased with Allah as Rabb, and with Islam as Deen (religion) and with Muhammad Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam as (Allah's) Messenger. (Muslim: 151)
 
Note: It means that whosoever worships Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and leads a life according to Islam with complete obedience to Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam along with a profound love for Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala and Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam has indeed tasted the sweetness of Iman.

Hadith of the Day
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that some of the Sahabah Radiyallahu 'anhum came to Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam and asked him: We find that, in our hearts, arise such thoughts that we would be ashamed to talk of them. He said: Well, do you indeed feel like that? We said: Yes. He replied: That is pure Iman. (Muslim: 340)
 
Note: This means that when these thoughts instigate you; and far from believing in them, you do not even want to utter them. Then indeed this is the sign of perfect Iman. (Nawawi)

Mu'adh ibne-Jabal Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: O Mu'adh! Do you know what is Allah's right upon His slaves and what are the slave's rights upon Allah? I replied: Allah and His Rasul know best. He said: Indeed, Allah's right upon His slaves is that they worship Him, and do not ascribe any partners to Him. And the slave's rights upon Allah Subhanahu wa Ta'ala is that He will not punish anyone who does not ascribe any partner to Him. (Muslim: 144)

Hadith of the Day
Abu Hurairah Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Verily Allah has one hundred Mercies. He has sent down from these one Mercy among the jinn, men, animals, and creeping insects. By it, they (all) show kindness to one another, and by it, they show mercy to one another, and by it, a beast shows kindness to its young; and Allah has withheld ninety-nine Mercies which He will grant to His slaves on the Day of Resurrection. (Muslim: 6973)
 
And in another version of Muslim: When it will be the Day of Resurrection, He will complete them with this Mercy (and that is, He will bestow upon His slaves the complete one hundred Mercies). (Muslim: 6977)

'Umar ibnil-Khattab Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that some prisoners (of war) were brought before Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, and a woman from amongst the prisoners was searching (for her child). Upon finding the infant among the prisoners, she took him, placed him with her body and began nursing him. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said to us: Do you think this woman can cast her son into the fire? We replied: No, by Allah, so long as she is in a position not to cast him. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Indeed, Allah is more Merciful to His slaves than this woman is to her son! (Muslim: 6978)

When Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam (completed Salat and) offered Salam, he said to the villager: Undoubtedly you have confined a very vast thing, meaning Allan's Mercy. (Bukhari: 6010)

Hadith of the Day
Abu Musa Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Nabi Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Indeed my example and the example of what Allah has sent with me, is that of a man who came to some people and said: O my people! Verily I have seen the (enemy's) army with my own eyes, and indeed I am a sincere Warner, so protect yourself! So, a group of his people obeyed him; and left at night proceeding out stealthily till they were safe. While another group of them disbelieved him and stayed at their place till the morning. So, the army attacked them at dawn,
destroying and annihilating them. Hence, this is the example of the one who obeys me and follows what I have come with (Qur'an and Sunnah), and the example of the one, who disobeys me and disbelieves in the Truth which I have come with. (Bukhari: 7283)
 
Note: Traditionally, Arabs attacked at dawn. Those who wished to avoid this danger, travelled in the early part of the night.

The Sahabah replied: Yes, indeed! He said: It is the Dhikr of Allah, the Exalted. (Tiimidhi: 3377)

Hadith of the Day
Hanzalah Al-Usaidi Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: I swear by the One in Whose Hand is my life that if you were to maintain the state in which you are with me, and continue the remembrance of Allah, the angels would shake hands with you on your beds and in your walkways; but O Hanzalah! There is a time for every thing. He said this three times. (Muslim: 6966)
 
Note: This hadlth means that one cannot maintain the same state and level of feelings continually, rather the state of one's heart keeps changing with the happenings of daily life.

Anas ibne-Malik Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: To sit with people who are doing the Dhikr of Allah after Salat-uli-Fajr till the sun rises is more pleasing to me than setting free four slaves from the progeny of Isma'il 'Alaihis Salam. And to sit with people who are doing the Dhikr of Allah after Salat-ul-'Asr till the sun sets is more pleasing to me than setting free four slaves from the progeny of Isma'il 'Alaihis Salam. (Abu Dawud: 3667)
 
Note: The slaves from the progeny of Isma'il 'Alaihis Salam are mentioned in this Hadith as they were considered the most noble amongst the Arabs, and so more valuable.
