Hadith 34
On the authority of Abu Sa`eed al-Khudree (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say, “Whosoever of you sees an evil, let him change it with his hand; and if he is not able to do so, then [let him change it] with his tongue; and if he is not able to do so, then with his heart — and that is the weakest of faith.”

Hadith 35
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said, “Do not envy one another, do not bid against each other (do not inflate prices for one another), do not hate one another, and do not turn away from one another, and let none of you sell against the sale of another. but [rather] be slaves of Allah and brothers [amongst yourselves]. A Muslim is the brother of a Muslim: he does not oppress him, nor does he fail him, nor does he lie to him, nor does he hold him in contempt. Taqwa (piety) is right here [and he pointed to his chest three times]. It is evil enough for a man to hold his brother Muslim in contempt. The whole of a Muslim is inviolable (is sacred) for another Muslim: his blood, his property, and his honor.”

Hadith 36
Abu Hurairah (R) reported: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "He who removes from a believer one of his difficulties of this life, of this dunia, Allah will remove one of his troubles on the Day of Resurrection; and he who finds relief for a hard-pressed person, Allah will make things easy for him on the Day of Resurrection; he who covers up (the faults and sins) of a Muslim, Allah will cover up (his faults and sins) in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah supports His slave as long as the slave is supportive of his brother; and he who treads the path in search of knowledge, Allah makes that path easy, leading to Jannah for him; the people who assemble in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah, learning it and teaching, there descends upon them the tranquillity, and mercy covers them, the angels flock around them, and Allah mentions them in the presence of those near Him; and he who lags behind in doing good deeds, his noble lineage will not make him go ahead."

Imam al-Nawawi's compilation of forty hadiths of Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, is considered by scholars as a compilation conveying the most holistic and comprehensive understanding of Islam.

This series elaborates on the collection of the Forty Hadith, compiled by al-Imam al-Nawawi. Everyone desiring to attain the Hereafter should know these narrations for the critical information they contain, the guidance they provide, and the light they shed on the lives of Muslims.
