A believer should take the Prophet of Allah as an example of how to live his life. We learned all the fundamentals of life from him. In this context, I am bringing up a hadith. Hazrat Salman Farsi provides narration. A polytheist man once mocked me and said, “Your friend (Rasulullah SAW) is teaching you everything,” he recalled. Rules apply down to the toilet. Yes, of course, I replied. He told us not to face the Qiblah while using the restroom. Avoid performing Istinja with your right hand. For Istinja, three pieces of stone are a minimum requirement; however, it is not acceptable for it to contain dry dung or bones. (Ahmad and Muslim).
Here is a brief explanation of a believer’s day-to-day activities in the context of hadith:
In the name of Allah, everything begins:
A believer should always start their actions by praising Allah. As an illustration, consider eating, drinking, holding meetings, writing, or beginning a speech. According to Rasool Kareem (SAW) (Tafseer Ibn Kasir), “Any action that is done without Bismillah, the name of Allah, is void of blessings.” It is well known that beginning every task with Bismillah is Sunnah in light of this hadith.
Doing good deeds consistently and not discounting any good deed as unimportant: A believer has the habit of performing good deeds. A believer’s character includes a constant effort to act morally uprightly in light of the Quran and Hadith. The hadith narrated by Hazrat Aisha (RA) in this context is reliable. According to Bukhari and Muslim, Rasool Kareem (SAW) said, “The most beloved of deeds to Allah are those that are done regularly, even if they are reduced in quantity.” We should always try to carry out the good deeds that we are aware of, according to this hadith. As an illustration, consider Zikrullah, Qur’anic recitation, Nafal Namaz, Nafal fasting, charity, et cetera. It is not appropriate to consider any good deed in this situation to be unimportant. Every good deed should be attempted with importance. There is no chance to belittle any act of goodness. In this case, a hadith is significant. According to a hadith that Hazrat Abu Zar (RA) narrated, Nabi Karim (SAW) gave me the advice, “Do not consider any good deed insignificant. If the good deed is such that you meet another brother with a smile, (Muslim) From this hadith, it is known that good deeds, even if they seem small, should be done seriously because, even though we don’t know it, Allah is more pleased with our actions.
Taking up the right side first:
The Prophet of Allah (SAW) taught people to live a right-wing life by walking on the right side of the road, starting their meal on the right side, wearing clothing on the right side first, serving food from the right side, and allowing the person who was on the right side of the road to go first.
Utilizing Your Right Hand:
There is a hadith that states, “The Prophet (SAW) used his right hand for ablution and taking food and his left hand for removing impurity and painful things from the toilet urinate.” (Abu Dawood) Hazrat Aisha was the one who narrated this hadith.
Faithful Sleep:
According to a narration from Hazrat Abu Huzaifa (RA), Nabi Kareem (SAW) used to sleep at night with his hands under his face and recite the following dua: “O Allah, I die in your name, and I live in your name.” He also reportedly used to recite, “All praise be to you,” after waking up. Rasool Kareem (SAW) said, “When a person sleeps, Satan puts three knots on his neck and says the night is long, so sleep well. It is Allah who raised us after death, and thus to Him we shall return. His first gira opens when one awakens and remembers the name of Allah. Additionally, the second gira opens during ablution. Additionally, the third lock also unlocks when he prays. The following morning arrives in good shape. As reported by Hazrat Jaber, “The Prophet of Allah (SAW) forbade sleeping with one leg raised and the other leg on top of it.” (Muslim) As reported by Hazrat Abu Huraira, “The Prophet of Allah (peace be upon him) saw a person lying on his back and said, “Allah does not like sleeping like that.
Before retiring at night, one should perform two rakat prayers and perform ablution.
A believer always makes an effort to maintain ablution. The acts of ablution and sleeping in a pure state before bedtime are Sunnah. The hadith states that if one performs ablution after intending to offer the nafal prayer, he will become sleepy and drowsy. If he spends the entire night in prayer, Allah will reward him. A man does not know if he can awaken from sleep again, so it is better to sleep in a pure state. If he passes away while sleeping, he will do so while being completely clean. He approaches Allah in a state of purity. This pleased Allah greatly.
Sleep in the early hours of the night, and rise to pray on the final night.
Early nighttime bedtime and rising to recite Tahajjud on the last night are Sunnah practices. By Hazrat Aisha (RA), the narrator. There are more hadiths in this context, but he said, “Nabi Karim (SAW) used to sleep in the first part of the night and wake up in the last part to pray.” By Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), the narration says, “I heard Rasul Kareem (SAW) say, after the obligatory prayer, the best prayer is the midnight prayer.” (Ahmed). Rasool Kareem (SAW) reportedly said, “Qiamul Lail should be prayed at night because this is the practice of the righteous servants of Allah before you; it is a means of attaining nearness to Allah, a form of expiation for sins, and a deterrent from evil deeds.” (Tirmidhi) This statement was narrated by Hazrat Abu Umama (RA). When a man wakes up his wife for the night prayer and they both offer two rakats, their names are included in “Jaqireen and Zakerat,” which means they are among those who remember Allah, according to a narration by Hazrat Abu Saeed and Abu Huraira (RA).
The Prophet of Allah used to say Miswak during Tahajjud:
In this regard, Hazrat Abu Huzaifa (RA) related a hadith that reads, “When the Prophet (SAW) got up at night to pray the Tahajjud prayer, he used to clean his face with the miswak.” According to Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Abbas (RA), he spent one night sleeping in Rasool Karim’s (SAW) home. According to him, the Prophet of Allah used to wake up at night and recite this verse from the Qur’an until it reached the end of the Surah: “There are many signs for those who remember Allah when they rise, sit, and lie down, and contemplate the creation of the heavens and the earth.” (Al-Imran 190-192).
Rasool Kareem (SAW) used to visit Ibn Abbas’ home after offering the Isha prayer, pray four rak’ahs, and then go to sleep, according to Ibn Abbas’ narration. Then, shortly before or after midnight, wake up. He would awaken, wipe his face with his hand, and recite Surah Al-Imran’s final ten verses. He then made miswak and ablution in two rak’ats and offered eight rak’ats of prayer. He would say the final prayer and then go back to sleep. He prayed two rakats before leaving for the mosque to perform the Fajr prayer when the call to prayer was made. He would sometimes ablate himself, and other times he wouldn’t. Despite the fact that his eyes were asleep, his heart was awake. He would then understand that nothing akin to the breaking of an ablution had taken place. He once occasionally took a bath.
He would leave for prayer at the sound of the Fajr call and recite the following prayer:
“O Allah, give light to my soul. Give light to my speech. Give light to my hearing. Give light to my sight. Light me up. Light before me. Light me up. Light me under.”
It is Sunnah to praise Allah while observing the nighttime sky.
By Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), the narration Rasool Karim (SAW), according to him, saw a person lying on a bed. After the person got out of bed, he looked up at the stars and sky and declared, “I bear witness that a Creator has created you.” Then he cried out, “O Allah, pardon me.” “Allah showered mercy on that person and forgave him,” the Prophet (SAW) said.
Reading from the Quran in the morning:
The Prophet (peace be upon him) reportedly said, “There is always a witness in the morning recitation of the Qur’an. The angels of the night and of the day witness it.” (Tirmidhi). This is according to Hazrat Abu Hurair.
Satisfying natural requirements
The Prophet of Allah (SAW) used to put his left foot in first and his right foot out first when using the restroom. He used to pray as he went to the bathroom. By Hazrat Zayd Ibn Arqam, the narration In this regard, Hazrat Ali narrated that Rasulullah (SAW) said, “The places of the closet are the places of the presence of jinns and devils. So when one of you goes to the toilet, he should recite this dua, O Allah! I seek refuge with you from the evils of men and women and men and jinn.” (Abu Dawud and Ibn Majah) In this regard, Hazrat It is Sunnah to recite this dua following bathroom use. The Prophet of Allah forbade urinating in any hole, saying, “Thanks be to Allah, who removed from me the painful thing and made me safe.” Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Sarjas provides narration. As reported by Abu Dawud and Nasa’i, Rasulullah (SAW) said, “None of you should urinate in any hole.” Because poisonous animals might be present, it is not advisable to urinate in a hole. Hot urine irritates him, and he may sting or expel poisonous gas vapors at any time. In addition, there will be issues with pit animal urine. One should stay out of sight while attending to their natural needs. In this situation, a hadith is pertinent. by Hazrat Abu Huraira, the narrator. According to Abu Dawood’s quotation from Rasool Kareem (SAW), “One who goes to fulfill natural needs should be hidden from the eyes of others.” In this context, Hazrat Anas relates another hadith. He stated, “Nabi Karim (SAW) used to desire when going to the toilet; then he would not lift his clothes until he was close to the ground.” (Tirmidhi). This hadith makes it clear that it is improper to open the satar even by yourself.
Avoid speaking while urinating.
Rasool Kareem (SAW) strictly forbade standing while urinating. from Hazrat Umar’s narration. He claimed that when Nabi Karim (SAW) saw me urinating while standing, he yelled, “O Umar! Do not urinate standing up.” As a result, I allegedly stopped doing so. (Tirmidhi).
Sunnah for performing ablution following a natural occurrence:
When Nabi Karim (SAW) had to use the restroom, Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) recalled, “I used to carry a lota or a bucket full of water for him.” With it, he would declare his resignation and wipe his hands on the ground. I later brought a second pot of water. With it, he performed ablution. According to a hadith that Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Mas’ud related, “The Prophet of Allah (SAW) forbade Istinjah with dung and bones. Because it is the food of the jinn.” (Tirmidhi). Rasul Kareem (SAW) forbade urinating while facing the Qibla. According to Bukhari and Muslim, who both cited Hazrat Abu Ayyub, “The Prophet of Allah (SAW) said that when you go to the bathroom, do not face the Qiblah and do not face it backwards.”
Cleaning up:
A component of faith is cleanliness. Being pure, Allah Ta’ala loves purity. As a result, constant effort toward cleanliness is required. Here are some fundamentals regarding this:
Ablution:
The benefits of Azure are numerous. I’m bringing up a hadith that Hazrat Uthman Ibn Affan narrated in this context. According to what he quoted from Rasool Kareem (SAW), “Whoever performs ablution and performs ablution well, sins are removed from his body until the sins come out of his nails.” (Muslim). by Hazrat Ammar Ibn Yasir, the narrator. He quoted the Prophet of Allah (SAW) as having said, “The Angel of Mercy does not come to three people. The body of the infidel, the perfumer of Khaluk, and the impure person until he performs ablution.” (Abu Dawood). Khaluk is one kind of fragrance. It is only prohibited for men. By Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), the narration He stated, “The Prophet of Allah (SAW) said that when one of you wakes up from sleep, he should not immerse his hand in a bowl of water until he has washed it three times. Because he doesn’t know where his hand was in his sleep.” (Bukhari and a Muslim) Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA) narrated another hadith about this. When someone wakes up from sleep, he should wash his nose three times with water, according to the Prophet (SAW) (Bukhari and Muslim). This is because Satan spends the night inside the nostrils.
To misstep:
Hazrat Aisha narrates a hadith that discusses the benefits of miswak. He reported that the Prophet of Allah (SAW) had stated, “Miswak is a means of cleansing the face and a means of attaining the pleasure of Allah Ta’ala.” (Nasa’i). Hazrat Aisha (RA) relates another hadith about the significance of miswak. (Bayhaqi) He quoted Rasul Karim (SAW) as saying, “The prayer performed with Meswak has seventy times more merit than the prayer without Meswak.”
Miswak to the Sunnah The Prophet of Allah (SAW) made this point very clear. By Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), the narration According to him, Rasulullah (SAW) declared in Bukhari and Muslim, “If I did not think that I would trouble my Ummah, then I would have ordered them to postpone the Isha prayer until two in the night and to perform miswak during each prayer.” According to Allama Nabi, miswak is always mustahab. Five times performing miswak is a unique mustahab, though. 1. Time for prayer; 2. while reciting the Qur’an; 3. as you are ablating; 4. following awakening from sleep 5. If you have bad breath, whether from food or for other reasons, keep quiet or speak too much, according to Hazrat Shorayh Ibn Hani. I asked Aisha what Rasulullah (SAW) did first when he entered the house. Ayesha responded to Miswak. Because spending a lot of time outside can cause bad breath, family members may experience this when speaking with them.
Ten types:
Human nature is composed of ten natures. In this context, I am bringing up a hadith. Hazrat Ayesha (R.A.) said that “Ten things belong to the traditional nature. Shortening the moustache, lengthening the beard, miswak, cleaning the nose with water, cutting the nails, washing the armpits, plucking the pubic hair, and Istinja The narrator says the tithe I have forgotten will probably be ported.” (Muslim). In another narration, circumcision is mentioned rather than beard lengthening.
Every forty days, you should trim the hair on your mustache, navel, and underarms. Hazrat Anas is the narrator. He stated, “Times are appointed for us to cut our moustaches, cut our nails, clean our armpits, and shave our pubic hairs; we should not forsake these cleansings for more than forty days.” (Muslim).
Sunnah for maintaining hair:
For men, having curly hair is Sunnah. because Rasulullah (SAW) frequently kept his hair. According to Abu Dawud, there are three possible locations for it: “1. Along both shoulders. 2. middle of the neck. 3. Up to both earlobes.” To be halal in Ihram, Rasulullah (SAW) used to shave his head. Apart from that, he never shaved his head. He preferred to shave his head now rather than keep his hair short. Imam Tahtawi (RA) claimed that shaving one’s head is also Sunnah because of this. It’s also against the law to leave some parts uncut while shaving others. Keep your hair short if you don’t want to shave.
Girls are not allowed to cut or shave their hair like boys. It shouldn’t be kept at an unwieldy size that makes bathing in the water challenging. Instead, it is preferable to keep it up to the waist or back. He argues that the lower portion of the waist may be removed. Of course, even if it isn’t cut, there is no issue. (Muslim: 1/148; Tirmidhi: 1/182).
Bathing is the act of washing one’s entire body in water for the purpose of purification. There are various bath types, including:
- Farj Bath: When men and women ejaculate out of sexual excitement, they must take the Farj Bath, which is a religious requirement. If the two sexes are mixed, a bath is required. Even if nifas and menstruation are stopped, ghusl must still be taken.
- Wajib Bath: Bathing the dead in the Wajib custom
- Sunnah Bath: Baths for Friday, Eid, the Day of Arafah, and Ihram are sunnah baths.
- Mustahab Bath: The conversion of a non-Muslim
There are three obligations associated with bathing, as stated in the Kuduri Kitab: 1. portman 2. Nasal irritation 3. Wash your entire body. The hadith that Hazrat Aisha related regarding the requirements for bathing is a reliable hadith. According to Hazrat Ayesha, Rasool Karim (SAW) used to wash his first two hands up to the wrists before bathing Janawat. He then performed an ablution similar to an ablution before praying. He then used his wet hands to comb the hair roots after dipping his fingers in water. He then used both of his hands to fill Anjali before pouring water on him three times. Then he would spray water over his entire body. (Muslim and Bukhari).
Drinking without breathing into the cup:
based on a tale that Hazrat Abqatada told. When one of you drinks water, he should do so without exhaling into the water container, according to what Rasulullah (SAW) said. (Muslim and Bukhari). According to another hadith, it is improper to consume all of the water at once. It’s been compared to a creature consuming water. As a result, it is Sunnah to take at least three breaths while consuming water, then remove the container from your mouth and exhale. Continuous water consumption can result in throat irritation and, on the one hand, a lack of satisfaction. Additionally, inhaling into drinking glasses can taint the water.
Greeting people politely and doing the same for them:
According to Hazrat Abdullah Ibn Amr, Rasul Karim (SAW) was asked, “Which form of Islam is better?” (Bukhari and Muslims) In response, he said, “Feeding and greeting all, known and unknown.” Giving a salaam is sunnah, but an appropriate response is wajib. When someone greets you respectfully, Allah commands, “Respond better than that, or at least give it that way (as he gave it), for Allah takes account of everything.” (Surah Nisa: 86). by Hazrat Abu Huraira, the narrator. One Muslim has six rights over another Muslim, according to Rasul Karim (SAW), he claimed. 1. Visit a suffering Muslim if you can; 2. Attend the funeral and burial of a Muslim if he passes away. 3. If a Muslim extends an invitation to you, 4. introducing oneself to a Muslim 5. Retaliating when a Muslim sneezes 6. wishing everyone well or giving sound advice to everyone, both present and absent.
By Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), the narration Rasulullah (SAW) is reported to have said (Bukhari and Muslim), “A person on horseback will greet a person on foot; a person on foot will greet someone who is sitting; and a few people will greet many people.” By Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), the narration Nabi Kareem (SAW) said, “Whoever among you should greet his Muslim brother when he meets him. Then if a tree, a wall, or a great stone comes between them and they meet again, then they will greet each other again.” Narrated by Hazrat Qatadah Nabi Karim (SAW), “When you enter the house, then greet the people of the house. He cited Nabi Karim’s (SAW) advice that “salam should be offered before speaking.”
Sneezing while reacting:
By Hazrat Abu Huraira (RA), the narration He claimed that Nabi Kareem (SAW) stated, “If one of you sneezes, he should say Alhamdulillah. And any of his brothers or companions should say Yarhamukumullah upon hearing it. So when he says Yarhamukumullah, the person who sneezes will say Yahdikumullah wa yushlih lakoom (May Allah guide you and make your condition better).” (Bukhari). Rasul Karim (SAW) reportedly said, “When a person sneezes, he should put his hand over his mouth, because the devil enters when he opens his mouth.” (Muslim) This statement was narrated by Hazrat Abu Saeed Khudri (RA). by Hazrat Abu Huraira, the narrator. Rasulullah (SAW) used to sneeze while covering his face with his hands or a cloth, which reduced the volume of the sound. (Abu Dawud and Tirmidhi).
Sunnah to grinning
“Hazrat Ayesha said I never saw Nabi Karim (S.A.) smiling with his mouth open; his face looks hollow. Rather, he used to smile most of the time.” (Bukhari). According to Hazrat Qatadah, Ibn Umar was questioned about whether the Prophet of Allah’s companions ever enjoyed a good laugh. According to Belal Ibn Sa’eed, “Yes. And they believed in their hearts heavier than mountains.” I observed the companions running to the arrow’s target while they were making fun of one another. However, they used to get out of bed at night to worship Allah. Sunnah in Arabic
Putting on clothes from the right side and taking them off from the left side:
On the right side, the Prophet of Allah used to dress, and on the left, he would undress. In this context, I’m going to mention some hadiths. by Hazrat Abu Huraira, the narrator. “He said Rasool Kareem (SAW) used to start from the right side when dressing.” (Tirmidhi). by Hazrat Abu Huraira, the narrator. He cited the words of Rasul Kareem (SAW): “When one of you puts on his shoes, he starts from the right side, and when he takes them off, he starts from the left side. The right side should be the first to wear, and the left side should be the first to open.” (Bukhari and Muslim).
The Prophet of Allah’s preferred attire:
According to Umm Salam’s (RA) authority, he claimed that Rasulullah (SAW) loved clothing the most (Ibn Majah: 4027). by Anas Ibn Malik (RA), the narrator. “He said the most favorite cloth for Rasulullah (SAW) was the hibara (a cloak made in Yemen).” (Bukhari: 58, 13).
The Prophet of Allah disliked putting on excess clothing.
By Hazrat Amr Ibn Shuaib, the narrator. He related that the Prophet of Allah (SAW) advised eating, drinking, giving alms, and wearing clothing until it was mixed with Israf on the authority of his father and his father on the authority of his grandfather.
A demonstration of faith is living a righteous life.
Hazrat Abu Umamah Ibn Ayas provides the narration. According to Abu Dawood, Rasul Karim (SAW) said, “Have you heard? Have you heard that simple living is a sign of faith?” But clothing choices should be made based on financial stability. by Hazrat Amr Ibn Shuaib, the narrator. He gave the perspective of his father, who in turn gave it from his grandfather. According to Rasool Kareem (SAW), “Surely, Allah Ta’ala likes the manifestation of His blessings in the behavior of His servants.” (Tirmidhi). The hadith also states that men are not allowed to wear silk clothing, shoes with heels, or gold rings on their hands out of a sense of arrogance.
Dua recitation before leaving the house:
When leaving the house for a trip and bidding his loved ones farewell, Allah’s Prophet would recite this dua. “I entrust the end of your religion, your deposit, and your work to Allah. May Allah increase your piety. Forgive your sins. And whatever you do, wherever you are, may Allah make it easy for you in all good deeds.” (Abu Dawud, Tirmidhi, Mishkat) Next, as he was leaving the house, he used to recite, “I am going out in the name of Allah, trusting in Allah.” There is no
A responsible person’s typical day would include:
Ibn Abbas narrated. Rasool Kareem (SAW) used to come to his house after praying for Isha. Then he would pray four rak’ahs and then fall asleep. Then wake up shortly before or after midnight. He would wake up, wipe his face with his hand, and recite the last ten verses of Surah Al-Imran. Then he performed ablution and performed eight rak’ats of Qiyamullail prayer. After that, he would perform the last prayer and fall asleep again. When the call for Fajr prayer was given, he prayed two rakats, went to the mosque, and offered Fajr prayer. Then he would sit facing the worshippers. He used to interpret night dreams. Then he used to sit in the mosque and recite dua, tasbih, and tilawat. Then he performed Salat al-Ishraq. Then he had breakfast. Salatuz Joha used to go to the market. Salatuz used to pray Zuhr, eat it, and then perform Qaylool. Then, after Asr prayer, he would look at the worshipers again and inquire. Then Hazrat Fatima, along with her relatives, would inquire about all the Ummah atul Mu’mineen. When it was Maghrib, he used to recite the evening prayer. After the Maghrib call to prayer, sometimes two rakats were offered before the prayer. After the Maghrib prayer, Salatul Auyabin used to perform. Esha used to eat dinner before. After the Isha prayer, he used to go to sleep in a state of ablution. And he used to pray two rakats before sleeping.
