Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

24. Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) narrated, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “And when you get angry, keep silent.” (Ahmad, Ibn Abi Dunya, al-Tabarani, and al-Bayhaqi)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

Concerning the Hadeeth ''Whoever Turns Away From My Sunnah''

Question:

What is the meaning of the Hadeeth; Ýãä ÑÛÈ Úä ÓäÊí ÝáíÓ ãäí "Whoever turns away from my Sunnah, then he is not of me." Does one fall under this category when he doesn't pray the Sunnah prayers that come before and after the obligatory one?
Answer:

The Prophet (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam) said:
Ýãä ÑÛÈ Úä ÓäÊí ÝáíÓ ãäí

"Whoever turns away from my Sunnah, then he is not of me." (Al-Bukhari no. 5063 and Muslim no. 1401)

This means whoever turns away from my way that I follow, then he is not of me. This is because they have chosen another way than the path of the Prophet (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam). The optional and voluntary prayers are not related to this Hadeeth, not performing them is not done with the objective of turning away from the Sunnah of the Messenger (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam). Rather, since these acts are optional, and not compulsory, people are permitted by Allaah Almighty not to perform them. So there is a difference between someone who abandons the guidance of the Prophet (sallAllaahu `alayhi wa sallam), turning away from it, and one who does not follow it out of laziness or because Allaah Almighty has permitted him not to do so.
