Intention When Going To The Mesjid

Abu Hurairah radhiyallahu anhu narrates :  " I heard Rasulullah may peace be upon him saying : He who comes to my Mesjid (Mesjid-un-Nabawi) with no other intention but to learn or teach a good deed is like a Mujahid in the path of Allah.  He  who comes with some other intention is like one who has come to look at the belongings of others ( and this looking is of no benefit to him)."

(Ibnu Majah)

Note:  The excellence mentioned in this hadith is valid for all mesjids , as all mesjids are subsidiaries of Mesjid-un-Nabawi.

The Wisest and the Most Resolute among the People

Abdullah ibnu Umar Radhiyallahu anhuma narrates that I came to Nabi s.a.w , being the tenth one of the ten Sahabah.  A man of  the Ansar (Medina) stood up and said :  "O Nabi Allah!  Who is the wisest and the most resolute amongst the people?" He replied : "He who remembers death the most, and prepares most diligently for death before it overtakes him.  Undoubted, they are the wisest.  They have acquired the nobility of this world and the dignity of the Hereafter.

Concerning Generosity and Miserliness

Anas ibnu Malik radhiallahu anhu narrates that in his first sermon that Rasulullah SAW delivered, he praised Allah and then said " O people! Verily Allah has chosen Islam to be your religion, so enhance your relationship with Islam with generosity and good character.

Take note that generosity is a tree in Jannah that has its branches in this world. Therefore, whoever is generous continues attaching himself to one of its branches until it eventually transports him to Jannah.

Behold! Miserliness is a tree of Jahannam that also has its branches in this world.  Therefore, Whoever is miserly attaches himself to one of  its branches until it eventually plummets him into Jahannam.

So be generous for the Path of Allah.  Be generous for the Path of Allah.

Note:
Rasulullah SAW always repeated himself three times whenever he talked on things that were important.
