Special: The Fatal Sins...

by al-Hâfidh Abî 'Abdullâh Muhammad bin Ahmad bin Uthmân bin Qayyim Dhahabî


The Prophet said : None of you is a believer until he likes for his brother what he likes for himself.

The Prophet said : None of you is a believer till his passions are in accordance with what was revealed to me.

The Prophet said : A Muslim is not a true believer if his neighbour does not trust his evilness.

The Prophet said : He who sees an evil should change it with his hand, if not then with his tongue, if not then with his heart, and it is he weakest way.

The Prophet said about tyrants : He who fights them [Mushrikeen] with his hand is a believer, and he who fights them with his tongue is a believer, and he who fights them with is heart is a believer and beyond that there is no faith. fighting by the heart includes turning to Allaah and praying for safety for hiself and family, and praying for the destruction of evil.

The Prophet said : There will be princes appointed on you, and you will know things you like and things you hate. He who hates the evils of the prince he cleared and freed his conscious, and he who rejects them is in safety but he who is satisfied with them is like them. It is said : can we fight them ? The Prophet answered : No as long as they do their prayers.

Another hadeeth is : Shyness is from faith, and faith is in Paradise, an obscenity is from harshness and harshness is in hell.

The Prophet said : He who dies without a bargain to a king or commander has died on ignorance.

The Prophet said He who eats from a Muslim, Allaah will feed him from hell at the Day of Judgment. And he who slanders a Muslim with false things , Allaah will show people on him. And he who put on a Muslim false things, Allaah will put on him cloth of Hell at the Day of Judgment

And a man speaks evil words which cause Allaah's anger, when he does not know that it caused Allaah's anger, Allaah shall be angry with until the Day of Judgement.

The Prophet said : Don't call the hypocrite a master, for if he was a master you shall anger your Lord.

Allaah says :

  Amongst them are men who made a covenant with Allaah that if he bestowed on them His bounty they would give charity and be truly amongst those who are righteous. But when He did bestow of His bounty, they become covetous and turned back from their covenant) a verse So He has put as a consequence hypocrisy into their hearts.  

The Prophet said : He who does not take a little pit from his moustache is not one of us.

The Prophet once delivered a speech when he was on his camel ; he said : Allaah gave every man his rights, so so will for heir. [ That is the heir shall receive his inheritance in accordance with the Islamic Law automatically and no will is indeed to be written for such a matter].

The Prophet said: People who gain the worst rank at the Day of Judgment are husbands who tell their wives their secrets, and hear their wives secrets then reveal their secrets to the public.

The Prophet said : If you saw a man looking at you [spying] without your permission and you threw on him a little stone and it knocked out his eye, you would bear no responsibility.

In another narration :......if he refuses, the prayer must fight him, for the passer accompanies the devil.
