“Keep God in mind wherever you are; follow a wrong with a right that offsets it; and treat people courteously”

Narrated by At-Tirmithi.

“Allah is Kind and likes kindness in all things.”

Bukhari/Muslim (reported in Riyadhus Saleheen,#633); Sunan Ibn Majah, #3684

“My camel has become exhausted, so give me a mount.”

He replied,

“I do not have any. But go to so-and-so and perhaps he will give you one.”

He went to that man and he gave him a mount. Then he went back to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and told him. He said,

“Whoever guides to good has the like of the reward of the person who actually does it.”

Taken from Al-Adab al-Mufrad – by, Imam Al-Bukhari

“Whoever is kind, Allah will be kind to him; therefore be kind to man on the earth. He Who is in heaven will show mercy on you.”

Muslim

“Show leniency (to the people), don’t be hard upon them, give them glad tidings (of Divine favors in this world and the Hereafter), and do not create aversion. Work in collaboration and don’t be divided.”

Muslim, Book 19, Hadith 4298

“This dog is feeling the same thirst that I felt.”

So he went down into the well again, filled his shoe with water, and gave the dog a drink. So, God thanked him and forgave his sins.

The Prophet (Sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam) was asked,

“Messenger of God, are we rewarded for kindness towards animals?”

He said:

“There is a reward for kindness to every living animal or human.”
