Husn Al Muslim حصن المسلم

'Umar b. Al-Khattāb رضي الله عنه stated:

And never think that Allah is unaware of what the wrongdoers do. He only delays them for a Day when eyes will stare [in horror].

Sadaqa

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "There is a (compulsory) Sadaqa (charity) to be given for every joint of the human body (as a sign of gratitude to Allah) everyday the sun rises. To judge justly between two persons is regarded as Sadaqa, and to help a man concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, is also regarded as Sadaqa, and (saying) a good word is also Sadaqa, and every step taken on one's way to offer the compulsory prayer (in the mosque) is also Sadaqa and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also Sadaqa."

Sahih al-Bukhari 2989

The Noble Scholar Shaykh Rabī' b. Hādī حفظه الله stated:

"There are many from amongst the people who don't want to give the right (that's due to others) from himself, while at the same time he seeks for himself more than what he's entitled to."

【Majmū' Ar-Rāiq Pg.269】

Ibn Al-Jawzī رحمه الله stated:

"The Dunyā has been put in place for calamities. Therefore, it's befitting for the intelligent one to accustom himself to have patience."

【Sayd Al-Khātir (1/393)】

The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When the Imam says: 'Sami Allahu liman hamidah (Allah hears the one who praises Him),' then say: 'Rabbana wa lakal-hamd,' (Our Lord, and to You be the praise).' Whoever says that and it coincides with the angels saying it, his previous sins will be forgiven."
