Overview of all the Hadiths covered in the semester

Hadith 21:It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (r.a) that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «When a person dies, his deeds come to an end except three: ongoing charity, beneficial knowledge, or a righteous child who prays for him.»

Hadith 20:It was narrated that Sahl ibn Sa'd as-Sa'idi (r.a) said: A man said: O Messenger of Allah, tell me of a deed which, if I do it, Allah will love me and people will love me. The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Show little interest in worldly gain and Allah will love you; show little interest in what people have and people will love you.»

Hadith 19:It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Whoever removes a worldly hardship [kurbah] from a believer, Allah will remove one of the hardships of the Day of Resurrection from him. Whoever grants respite to (a debtor) who is in difficulty, Allah will grant him relief in this world and in the Hereafter. Whoever conceals (the fault of) a Muslim in this world, Allah will conceal him (his faults) in this world and in the Hereafter. Allah will help a person so long as he is helping his brother. Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge, Allah will make a path to Paradise easy for him. No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together, but tranquillity will descend upon them, mercy will overshadow them, the angels will surround them and Allah will mention them to those who are with Him. Whoever is slowed down by his deeds, his lineage will not help him to getahead.»

Hadith 18:It was narrated from Anas ibn Malik (r.a) that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w): said «Whoever would like his provision to be expanded and his lifespan to be extended, let him uphold ties of kinship.»

Hadith 17:It was narrated that Abu'l-Hawra as-Sa'di said: I said to al-Hasan ibn Ali (r.a): What do you remember of the sayings of the Messenger (s.a.w)? He said: I remember the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) saying: «Leave that which makes you doubt for that which does not make you doubt.»

Hadith 16:It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (r.a) said that The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «For every joint of a person, charity must be given every day on which the sun rises. Reconciling between two people is a charity; helping a man onto his mount or lifting him up onto it, or lifting his luggage up onto it is a charity.» He said: «A good word is a charity; every step that you take to attend the prayer is a charity; removing a harmful thing from the road is a charity.» According to a report narrated by Muslim: «Sufficient instead of all of that is two rakahs that you pray in the forenoon.»

Hadith 15:It was narrated that Abu Malik al-Ash'ari (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: «Purification is half of faith. 'Alhamdu Lillah' fills the balance, and 'SubhanAllah wa'l-hamdu Lillah' fills the space between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light (nur), charity is proof, patience is radiance (diya), and the Quran is evidence for you or against you. All people wake up in the morning (to strive) and sell themselves, either ransoming themselves or dooming themselves.»
