| "(Allah) has revealed to me that you should adopt humility so that no one oppresses another." Riyadh-us-Salaheen, Hadith 1589. |
| "It is a fine thing when a believer praises and thanks God if good comes to him, and praises God and shows endurance if smitten by affliction. The believer is rewarded for (every good action), even for the morsel he raises to his wife's mouth." Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 537. |
| "You have seen nothing like marriage for increasing the love between two people." Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 921. |
| "By his good character, a believer will attain the degree of one who prays during the night and fasts during the day." Abu Dawood, Hadith 2233. |

| "While a man was walking along a road, he became very thirsty and found a well. He lowered himself into the well, drank, and came out. Then [he saw] a dog protruding its tongue out with thirst. The man said: 'This dog has become exhausted from thirst in the same way as I.' He lowered himself into the well again and filled his shoe with water. He gave the dog some water to drink. He thanked God, and [his sins were] forgiven.' The Prophet was then asked: 'Is there a reward for us in our animals?' He said: 'There is a reward in every living thing.' " Fiqh-us-Sunnah, Volume 3, Number 104. This hadith is remarkable because a dog is a despised animal among Muslims. Showing mercy to a dog would be an exceptional activity. |
