Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Convey from me, even if it is a single verse, and narrate from the Children of Israel without any harm. But whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire."
Samura ibn Jundub and Al-Mughira ibn Shu’ba (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever narrates a hadith from me thinking it might be false, then he is one of the liars."
Mu'awiya (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When Allah intends good for someone, He grants him understanding of the religion. I am merely a distributor, but Allah is the One who grants."
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "People are like mines of gold and silver. The best of them in the pre-Islamic period are the best of them in Islam if they gain understanding (of the religion)."
Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Envy is not justified except in two cases: a man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it in the way of truth, and a man whom Allah has given wisdom and he judges and teaches by it."
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except for three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him."
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
"Whoever relieves a believer of a worldly distress, Allah will relieve him of a distress on the Day of Resurrection. Whoever makes things easy for one in difficulty, Allah will make things easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. Whoever conceals (the faults of) a Muslim, Allah will conceal his faults in this world and the Hereafter. Allah is helping the servant as long as the servant is helping his brother. Whoever follows a path to seek knowledge, Allah will make the path to Paradise easy for him. No group gathers in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelops them, angels surround them, and Allah mentions them to those who are with Him. And whoever is slowed down by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage."
Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
*"The first of the people against whom judgment will be pronounced on the Day of Resurrection will be a man who died as a martyr. He will be brought forward, and Allah will make known to him His favors, which he will recognize. Allah will ask, 'What did you do with them?' He will reply, 'I fought for Your cause until I was martyred.' Allah will say, 'You have lied. You fought so that it might be said: He is courageous. And it was said.' Then he will be ordered to be dragged on his face until he is thrown into the Fire.
Another will be a man who acquired knowledge, taught it, and recited the Qur’an. He will be brought forward, and Allah will make known to him His favors, which he will recognize. Allah will ask, 'What did you do with them?' He will reply, 'I acquired knowledge, taught it, and recited the Qur’an for Your sake.' Allah will say, 'You have lied. You acquired knowledge so that it might be said: He is learned, and you recited the Qur’an so that it might be said: He is a reciter. And it was said.' Then he will be ordered to be dragged on his face until he is thrown into the Fire.
Another will be a man whom Allah made wealthy and to whom He gave all kinds of wealth. He will be brought forward, and Allah will make known to him His favors, which he will recognize. Allah will ask, 'What did you do with them?' He will reply, 'I did not leave any way You like wealth to be spent except that I spent in it for Your sake.' Allah will say, 'You have lied. You did so that it might be said: He is generous. And it was said.' Then he will be ordered to be dragged on his face until he is thrown into the Fire." .
‘Abdullah ibn ‘Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Indeed, Allah does not take away knowledge by snatching it away from the people, but He takes away knowledge by taking away the scholars, such that when no scholar remains, the people will take ignorant leaders. They will be asked, and they will issue verdicts without knowledge. They will go astray and lead others astray."
Shaqiq narrated: ‘Abdullah ibn Mas‘ud (may Allah be pleased with him) used to give a reminder to the people every Thursday. A man said to him, "O Abu ‘Abdur-Rahman, I wish you would remind us every day." He replied, "The only thing that prevents me from doing so is that I dislike boring you. I take care to give you reminders at intervals, as the Prophet (ﷺ) used to do with us, out of fear of making us bored."
Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: The Prophet (ﷺ), whenever he spoke a word, would repeat it three times so that it could be understood. And when he came to a group and greeted them, he would greet them three times.
Abu Mas‘ud Al-Ansari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated: A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ) and said, "I am exhausted and unable to continue my journey; please help me with a mount." The Prophet (ﷺ) replied, "I do not have anything to carry you on." Then another man said, "O Messenger of Allah, I will guide him to someone who can help." The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whoever guides to good will have a reward similar to the doer of it."
It is narrated from Jareer (may Allah be pleased with him) that: We were with the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) in the early part of the day when a group of people arrived. They were in dire poverty, wearing torn woolen cloaks or garments, with their swords slung around their necks. Most of them, or rather all of them, were from the tribe of Mudhar. When the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saw their poor condition, his face changed (out of concern). He went inside, then came out, and commanded Bilal (may Allah be pleased with him) to give the call to prayer (Adhan). He gave the Adhan and then the Iqamah, and the Prophet (ﷺ) led the prayer.
Afterward, he addressed the people, saying: "O people, fear your Lord who created you from a single soul..." (Surah An-Nisa: 1) and he recited the entire verse. He then recited the verse from Surah Al-Hashr: "Fear Allah, and let every soul look to what it has sent forth for tomorrow..." (Surah Al-Hashr: 18).
The Prophet (ﷺ) then said: "Let a man give in charity from his gold, silver, clothing, a measure of barley, a measure of dates, or even a piece of a date."
Then a man from the Ansar came forward with a bundle that was so heavy it nearly overwhelmed him. After this, the people followed suit, giving in charity, until I saw two heaps of food and clothes. The face of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) lit up as though it was a piece of gold (out of joy).
The Prophet (ﷺ) then said: "Whoever initiates a good practice in Islam will have its reward and the reward of those who act upon it after him, without their rewards diminishing in the least. And whoever initiates a bad practice in Islam will bear its burden and the burden of those who act upon it after him, without their burdens diminishing in the least."
It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "A soul will not be killed unjustly, except that the first son of Adam will have a share of its blood, for he was the first to commit murder."
It is narrated from Kathir ibn Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) who said:
I was sitting with Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) in the mosque of Damascus, when a man came to him and said: "O Abu Darda, I have come to you from the city of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) with a matter that I heard you narrating from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and I did not come for any other need." Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever follows a path in search of knowledge, Allah will make his path to Paradise easier. And the angels lower their wings in satisfaction for the seeker of knowledge. And the scholar is sought forgiveness by all those in the heavens and on the earth, even the fish in the water. The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like the superiority of the full moon on the night of its fullest over all other stars. And indeed, the scholars are the inheritors of the Prophets. The Prophets did not leave behind dinars or dirhams, but they left knowledge. So whoever takes it, takes a great share.'"
It is narrated from Abu Umamah Al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) was informed about two men: one was a worshipper, and the other was a scholar. The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like my superiority over the least of you." Then the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) added: "Indeed, Allah, His angels, the inhabitants of the heavens and the earth, even the ant in its hole, and the fish in the sea, pray for the one who teaches people good." This was narrated by Tirmidhi.
It was also narrated by Al-Darimi from Makhul in an abbreviated form, where he did not mention the two men, and said: "The superiority of the scholar over the worshipper is like my superiority over the least of you," and then recited the following verse: "Indeed, those who fear Allah among His servants are the scholars..." (35:28), and continued the narration.

It is narrated from Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "People are followers of you, and some men will come to you from the farthest parts of the earth to learn about religion. When they come to you, advise them to be treated well."
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Wisdom is the lost property of the wise one. Wherever he finds it, he is the most entitled to it." [Narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah]
Tirmidhi commented: "This is a Gharib hadith, and the narrator Ibrahim bin Al-Fadl is weak in hadith."
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "A single scholar is more harmful to Satan than a thousand worshippers."
This was narrated by Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.
It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Seeking knowledge is obligatory upon every Muslim. And placing knowledge in the hands of those who are not qualified to receive it is like placing pearls, jewels, and gold in the hands of pigs." This was narrated by Ibn Majah. Al-Bayhaqi also narrated it in "Shu’ab al-Iman," stating: "The text of this hadith is well known, but its chain of narration is weak. It has been narrated from various sources, all of which are weak."
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Two qualities do not combine in a hypocrite: good appearance and understanding of the religion."
It is narrated from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever goes out seeking knowledge, he is in the path of Allah until he returns."
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "On the Day of Judgment, it will be said: 'I did not place My wisdom in your hearts except because I wanted good for you. Go to Paradise, for I have forgiven you for what you did.'"
It is narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "A believer will never be satisfied with the good he hears until the ultimate reward is Paradise."
It is narrated from Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever is asked about knowledge that he knows, but he conceals it, on the Day of Judgment he will be bridled with a bridle of fire."
It is narrated from Ka'b bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever seeks knowledge to compete with the scholars, or to argue with the foolish, or to attract people's attention to himself, Allah will enter him into the Fire."
It is narrated from Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Whoever learns knowledge for which the face of Allah is sought, but does not learn it except to obtain a worldly gain, he will not find the fragrance of Paradise on the Day of Judgment."
It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "May Allah brighten the face of a servant who hears my words, memorizes them, and conveys them. Perhaps a person who carries knowledge is not a scholar, and perhaps a person who carries knowledge to one who is more learned than him. There are three things upon which the heart of a Muslim does not harbor malice: sincerity of action for Allah, giving sincere advice to the Muslims, and adhering to their community, for their call surrounds them."

It is narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that he heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: "May Allah brighten the face of a person who hears something from us, then conveys it as he heard it. Perhaps a person who conveys it is more retentive than the one who heard it."
It is narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Beware of narrating Hadith from me except what you know. Whoever deliberately lies about me, let him take his seat in the Fire."
