(Sunan Abi Dawud, Book 1, Hadith 345)

Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri (RA) said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) say: ‘Allah will question His slave on the Day of Resurrection, until He says: “What kept you from denouncing evil when you saw it?” When Allah grants His slave a response, he will say: “O Lord, I hoped for Your mercy but I feared the people.” (Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 36, Hadith 92)

Narrated Abu Ayyub al-Ansari (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said: The witr is a duty for every Muslim so if anyone wishes to observe it with five rak'ahs, he may do so; if anyone wishes to observe it with three, he may do so, and if anyone wishes to observe it with one, he may do so. (Sunan Abi Dawud, Book 8, Hadith 7)

Narrated Al-Hasan ibn Ali (RA): The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) taught me some words that I say during the witr. (The version of Ibn Jawwas has: I say them in the supplication of the witr.) They were: "O Allah, guide me among those Thou hast guided, grant me security among those Thou hast granted security, take me into Thy charge among those Thou hast taken into Thy charge, bless me in what Thou hast given, guard me from the evil of what Thou hast decreed, for Thou dost decree, and nothing is decreed for Thee. He whom Thou befriendest is not humbled. Blessed and Exalted art Thou, our Lord." (Sunan Abi Dawud, Book 8, Hadith 10)

Is there any who seeks forgiveness from Me so that I may forgive him?' He continues in that until the illumination of Al-Fajr." (Jami`at-Tirmidhi, Book 2, Hadith 299)

Abu Huraira (RA) reported that Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said that there was a person who used to walk with pride because of his thick hair and fine mantles.

It was narrated that Abu ‘Ubaid (RA) said: “I was present for ‘Eid with ‘Umar bin Khattab. He started with the prayer before the sermon, and said: ‘The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) forbade fasting on these two days, the Day of Fitr and the Day of Adha.

The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, 'If a reputable man amongst the children of Bani Israel committed a theft, they used to forgive him, but if a poor man committed a theft, they would cut his hand. But I would cut even the hand of Fatima (i.e. the daughter of the Prophet) if she committed a theft." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 5, Book 62, Hadith 81)

He then throws him flatly in the Hell-fire. (Sahih Muslim, Book 5, Hadith 330)

Hudhaifah (RA) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Do not let yourselves be 'yes-men', saying: 'If the people are good then we will be good, and if they are wrong then we will be wrong.

Abu Bakr As-Siddiq (RA) said: "O you people! You recite this Ayah: Take care of yourselves! If you follow the guidance no harm shall come to you. I indeed heard the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) saying: 'When the people see the wrongdoer and they do not take him by the hand, then soon Allah shall envelope you in a punishment from him.'"

Then he turned towards us and said, "When a man works with his workers in his house (and Abu 'Asim once said, 'in his property'), he is one of the workers of Allah Almighty." (Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Book 25, Hadith 7)  

Narrated Ibn Jarir bin 'Abdullah (RA): from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever starts a good tradition which is followed, then for him is a reward, and the likes of their rewards of whoever follows him, there being nothing diminished from their rewards.

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, "If Allah loves a person, He calls Gabriel saying: 'Allah loves so and so; O Gabriel, love him.'

So, all the residents of the Heavens would love him and then he is granted the pleasure of the people of the earth." (Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 8, Book 78, Hadith 70)
