Whoever observes fast for a day in the way of Allah

fasting a day - 70 years from Hellfire

Abu Sa’eed al Khudri (Allah be pleased with him) reported Allah’s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) as saying:

Every servant of Allah who observes fast for a day in the way of Allah, Allah would remove, because of this day, his face farther from the Fire (of Hell) to the extent of seventy years’ distance.

Great Reward of having many Good Intentions while performing a Good Deed

From Ameer-ul-Mu’mineen Abu Hafs Umar bin Al-Khattab, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- say:

” إنَّمَا الْأَعْمَالُ بِالنِّيَّاتِ، وَإِنَّمَا لِكُلِّ امْرِئٍ مَا نَوَى”.
‘Indeed actions are but by intentions and every man shall have that which he intended.’
[Collected by Bukhari and Muslim]

Having a great regard for intentions was the transactions of the hearts of the Companions Radhi Allaahu anhum and those who about Allaah and the scholars who raise the people. Indeed they would perform one action and they would have many intentions for that action, so that they could gain great rewards for themselves with every intention.

Narrated ‘abdu ALlaah ibn ‘Umar (رَضِيَ الله عَنْهُمَا) that the messenger of Allaah (صَلَّى للَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) said:

“He who prays ad-Doha, fasts three days every month and does not abandon Witr neither travelling nor at residence, will have the reward of a martyr written for him”

Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action

On the authority of Abi Mas’ood ‘Uqbah bin ‘Amr al-Ansaaree al-Badaree -may Allah be pleased with him- he said: The Messenger of Allah -sallahu ‘alayhi wasallam- said:

“Whoever directs someone to a good, then he will have the reward equal to the doer of the action”

[Muslim (1893)]

The hadeeth in this chapter indicates that the person who directs someone to a good whether it be pertaining to the good of the Worldly Life or Hereafter: he will have a similar reward like the one who performed it without their being any decrease from the reward of the doer of the action (the one who is actually doing the act), rather it is a (full) reward because of him being a good model and exemplar in doing beneficence – Ash-Sheikh ‘Abdullah bin ‘Abdur Rahman Al-Bassaam
