The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
“Surely when the man gives his wife a drink of water he is rewarded.”
[رواه أحمد/وحسنه الألباني]
Al-‘Irbādh b. Sāriyah heard the Hadīth and rushed to give his wife a drink of water. Then he informed her of what he heard from the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ.
The Noble Scholar Shaykh ‘Abdur Rahmān bin Nāsir As-Si’dī رحمه الله stated:
“Know that your life is subordinate to your thoughts. If they are thoughts concerning that which brings about benefit upon you in your Dīn or Dunyā your life will be one of happiness and goodness. And if not, the matter will be otherwise.”
[Al-Hayāh As-Sa’īdah Pg.30]
The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said:
“That which you dislike for the people to see (you doing), don’t do it when you are alone.”
[As-Silsilah As-Sahīhah #1055]
Ibn Al-Jawzī رحمه الله stated:
“The example of the one who backbites (unjustly) is similar to the example of the one who sets up a catapult. It launches his good deeds (away) right and left, east and west.”
[Bahr Ad-Dumū’ 131]
Mālik bin Dīnār رحمه الله stated:
“Whoever knows himself is not harmed by that which the people say about him.”
