Collection of Hadiths to gain Reward from Allah S.W.T

Assalam Alikum

Dear Brother/Sister,

Following is a collection of some Hadiths how to gain reward from Allah (s.w.t). We all believe that death is a fact ............ We never know at which point of life death is waiting for us......... and as a Momin we all know that there is a life after we may face Qabar azaab or we may be laid to rest in Qabar....... .. We all have become busy in our day to day routine that sometimes we forget this fact of life. So someone had told me that we must keep our meter of neki/sawab/reward down ......... never knw when we may need it.......... ..... So below is a list of how we can keep earning rewards ...........in our day to day routine.

1. Offering supererogatory prayers:

The Prophet (PBUH ) said: “Allaah will build a dwelling in Paradise for

anyone who prays twelve supererogatory rak’ah daily

in addition to the compulsory prayers.” (Muslim )

2. Offering funeral prayers:

The Prophet (PBUH) said: “Whosoever attends a funeral and prays over the dead

receives a reward

equal to a Qiraat, and whosoever was also present at the burial receives a reward equal to two Qiraat.” So people asked: “What is a Qiraat?” He ( PBUH) replied: “It is equal to twice the size of the greatest mountain (i.e. Uhud).” (Bukhaari & Muslim)

3. Women praying at home:

The Prophet ( PBUH) said: Do not deprive women from praying in the houses of

Allaah (i.e., the mosques) but praying at home is better for them (in reward).” (Abu Daawood)

4. Supplications after prayer:

The Prophet ( PBUH) said: “Allaah will forgive the sins, even if they were as

much as the foam of the sea, for anyone who exalts Allaah thirty-three times saying ‘Subhaanallaah’ , praises Him thirty-three times saying ‘Al- Hamdulillaah’ and glorifies Him thirty-three times saying ‘Allaahu Akbar’, and then completes the supplications to be one hundred by saying: ‘None has the right to be worshipped except Allaah alone,

without partner. To Him belong sovereignty and praise, and He is over all things Omnipotent.’ ”

(Muslim)

5. Thanking Allaah after eating or drinking:

The Prophet ( PBUH) said: “Allaah is pleased with the slave who thanks Him after eating or drinking (When Allaah is pleased with a slave He forgives his sins).”

(Muslim)

6. Zakaat Al-Fitr: Ibn ‘Abbaas said:

“The Messenger of Allaah (PBUH ) made Zakaat Al-Fitr obligatory as a means of purifying the fasting person from idle talk and foul language and feeding the poor. It is accepted as Zakaat from whoever pays it before the ('Eed) prayer, and as a (simple) charity from whoever pays it after that.” (Abu Dawood)

7. Optional charity:

The Prophet (PBUH ) said: Charity wipes out sins as water extinguishes fire.” (Tirmidhi)
