Abû Hurayrah relates that the Prophet ﷺ  said “This religion is easy. No one becomes harsh and strict in the religion without it overwhelming him. So fulfill your duties as best you can and rejoice. Rely upon the efforts of the morning and the evening and a little at night and you will reach your goal.” [Sahîh al-Bukharî]

Hudhaifah ibn al-Yamaan said, “Beware of Allah, 0 Quranic reciters [that is, religious scholars]. Follow the path of those before you. Then you will be the best of leaders. But if you go right or left, then you will go far astray.” Recorded by al-Bukhari, Abdullah ibn Ahmad in al-Sunnah and others.

It is reported in Sahih Bukhari 8.184, Sahih Muslim and Tirmidhi by Abu Said Al Khudri (RadiAllahu anhu)  – “One day the booty from a war was being distributed by the Holy Prophet ﷺ to the people according to their needs, the Holy Prophet ﷺ was conducting adal or (distribution according to need). Dhul Khawaisira of the Tamim tribe stood up and said to the Holy Prophet ﷺ  “O Prophet, you are not conducting insaaf or equal distribution you are favouring some people over others. Fear Allah! ” The Holy Prophet ﷺ replied, I am ‘the Honest’ (al-Amin), Allah sends me knowledge of the unseen (Ilme Ghaib) in the mornings and nights. Allah trusts me but you don’t.” The man replied to the Holy Prophet ﷺ  “Be God fearing.” This man was trying to teach the Holy Prophet ﷺ Tauhid (astagfirullah), and then he turned around and walked off. Abu Said (RadiAllahu anhu) then narrates, “The mans eyes were deep set, his forehead and cheeks raised, he had a large beard, he was bold, and his trousers were above his knees. Hazrath Khalid bin Walid and Hazrath Umar Farooq (RadiAllahu anhu) ) asked permission from the Holy Prophet ﷺ  to behead this man because he was being disrespectful to the Holy Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam). The Holy Prophet ﷺ replied, “Do not kill him for people will say that the Muslims are killing their own people. It would create misunderstanding amongst the people.

Sahih Muslim Hadith 5763 -Narrated by Umm Sulaym (radiAllahu anha)

The Holy Prophet ﷺ visited her house and she spread a piece of cloth for him, on which he took a nap. He sweated profusely and she collected his sweat and put it in a perfume and in bottles. The Holy Prophet ﷺ awoke and asked, “Umm Sulaym, what is this?” She said, “It is your sweat, which I put in my perfume”. The Holy Prophet ﷺ sweated in cold weather when revelation descended upon him. The Holy Prophet ﷺ asked as to what was she doing and she said’ ‘we get blessings from your sweat’ (narju barkatuhu). He said,  ‘kala asbati’, or  ‘you have done a good act’. This made acts of extreme reverence Sunnah and in accordance with Shariah. Did the Holy Prophet ﷺ command that his sweat should be collected or

did the Holy Qur’aan do so?  There is no explicit text enjoining this practice but it does fall under reverence. The Holy Qur’aan says: wa azzaruhu or ‘revere him’ and the Hadith commands us to love him more than our life.

Sahih Muslim Hadith 5750 -Narrated by Anas ibn Malik(radiAllahu anhu) “When the Holy Prophet ﷺ used to cut his blessed hair, a barber would come. We, the companions would stand around the Holy Prophet ﷺ and the barber as people do Tawaaf around the Kaaba. When the barber started to cut the hair, we fell down onto the ground and started to catch the hair, we did not let even one single strand of hair touch the ground.” (SubhanAllah!). Again, out of love for the Holy Prophet ﷺ not one strand of the Holy Prophet ﷺ hair touched the floor. But this was not done out of just any love.It was done out of extreme love. Does plain love lead you to keep the hair of your most loved ones? I doubt it very much, but out of extreme love and respect for the Holy Prophet ﷺ love that is greater than plain love. The companions kept the hair of the Holy Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam). It is mentioned that the Sahaba were going around the Prophet to acquire a strand of hair as if they were making Tawaaf of the Kaaba (wa ataafa bihi ashabuhu). They did not allow one hair to fall on the ground.Again this extreme reverence is only for anything attached to the Holy Prophet (sallAllahu alaihi wa sallam). This is called ishq. This extreme will not be displayed in worldly love.

It is reported in Sahih Bukhari 1:187/ Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.480 by Abu Juhaifa (radiAllahu anhu) that: “The Holy Prophet ﷺ was once with us and the companions were in his company. He ﷺ performed wudhu. The companions stood around the Holy Prophet ﷺ and raced to catch a drop of the water on their hands! They did not let a drop touch the floor. Each drop of water that they caught was rubbed on their faces and chest. (Abu Bakr, Uthman, Umar Ali, and the rest of the Sahaba were doing this. It was the collective Sunnah of the Sahaba to do this.) Whoever missed the chance to catch a drop of the water rubbed their hands with the Sahaba who caught a drop, and then rubbed this all over their faces and bodies. Why? Just to get the moisture of the holy water.”The same Hadith continues that Abu Musa said: The Prophet asked for a tumbler containing water and washed both his hands and face in it and then threw a mouthful of water in the tumbler and said to both of us (Abu Musa and Bilal), “Drink from the tumbler and pour some of its water on your faces and chests.”
