ʿAbd Alla (b. Masʿud) (ra) recounted, “I said, ‘O Messenger of Allah! Which sin is the greatest?’ He said, ‘To set up a rival to Allah, though He alone created you.’ I said, ’What next?’ He said, ‘To kill your son lest he should share your food with you.’ I further asked, ‘What next?’ He said, ‘To commit illegal sexual intercourse with the wife of your neighbor.’” (al-Bukhari, al-Adab, 20)
ʿA’isha (ra) reported, “A lady, along with her two daughters, came to me asking (for some alms), but she found nothing with me except one date, which I gave to her and she divided it between her two daughters and did not eat anything herself, and then she got up and went away. Then the Prophet (saw) came in and I informed him of this. The Prophet (saw) said, ’Whoever is put to trial by the daughters and he treats them generously (with benevolence), then these daughters will act as a shield for him from Hellfire.” (al-Bukhari, al-Zakat, 10)

My mother, ʿAmra bint Rawaha, said, ‘I shall not be pleased until you make the Messenger of Allah (saw) a witness to it.’ My father went to the Messenger of Allah (saw) in order make him the witness of the donation given to me. The Messenger of Allah (saw) said to him, ‘Have you done the same with every son of yours? He said, ‘No.’ Thereupon, the Prophet (saw) said, ‘Fear Allah and observe justice among your children.’ My father returned and took back the gift.” ( Muslim, al-Hiba, 13)
