A man asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace): Do you think that
if I perform the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadan, treat as lawful that which is lawful and treat as
forbidden that which is forbidden, and do nothing further, I shall enter paradise? He said: Yes.

I and the man who brings up an orphan will be in paradise like this.’ And he pointed with his two fingers,
the index finger and the middle finger

(iii) The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless him and give him peace) said: ‘Whom do you count to be a
martyr among you?’ They said: O Messenger of Allah, whoever is killed in the way of Allah is a martyr.
He said: ‘In that case the martyrs of my community will be very few! He who is killed in the way of
Allah is a martyr,he who dies a natural death in the way of Allah is a martyr, he who dies in the plague
in the way of Allah is a martyr, he who dies of cholera in the way of Allah is a martyr.’

(iv) No one eats better food than that which he eats out of the work of his hand.
