According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Prophet (saw) said, “Charity is obligatory everyday on every digital bone of a human being. If one helps a person concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to it, all this is charity. A good word, and every step one takes to the ritual prayer, is charity; and guiding somebody on the road is charity.” (al-Bukhari, al-Jihad, 72)
Muʿadh (ra) reported, “I was riding behind the Prophet (saw) on the same donkey called ʿUfayr when he asked, ‘Do you know what right Allah has over his servants and what right His servants have over Him?’ I answered, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ Then the Prophet said, ‘Allah’s right over His servants is that they should worship Him (alone) and should not associate anything with Him. And the servants’ right over Allah is that He should not punish those who do not associate anything with Him.’ I asked the Prophet (saw), ‘O the Messenger of Allah! Should I not inform the people of this good news?’ The Noble Messenger responded, ‘Do not inform them of it, lest they should become careless (by relying on this good news).’” (al-Bukhari, al-Jihad, 46)
According to ʿAʾisha (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “…The most pleasing acts to Allah are those performed continuously even if they are few.” (Abu Da’ud, al-Tatawwuʿ, 27)
According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “Allah said, ‘I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of mine. And the most beloved thing with which my servant comes close to me is what I have prescribed for him; and my servant will continue to come close to me through performing supererogatory works until I love him. Thus I become his sense of hearing by which he hears, and his sense of sight by which he sees, and his hand by which he grips, and his leg by which he walks; and if he asks me (for something), I give it to him, and if he asks me for protection (refuge), I protect him. …” (al-Bukhari, al-Riqaq, 38)
According to Abu Hurayra (ra), the Messenger of Allah (saw) said, “… The excellence in faith (iḥsān) is to worship Allah as if you see Him. Even if you do not see Him, He sees you.” (al-Bukhari, al-Tafsir, (Luqman) 2)
