1.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.31    Narrated by Abdullah

When the following Verse was revealed: "It is those who believe and confuse not their belief with wrong (worshipping others besides Allah.)" (6.83), the companions of Allah's Apostle asked, "Who is amongst us who had not done injustice (wrong)?" Allah revealed: "No doubt, joining others in worship with Allah is a great injustice (wrong) indeed." (31.13)


2.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.32    Narrated by Abu Huraira

The Prophet said, "The signs of a hypocrite are three:
1.    Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
2.    Whenever he promises, he always breaks it (his promise ).
3.    If you trust him, he proves to be dishonest. (If you keep something as a trust with him, he will not return it.)"


3.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.33    Narrated by Abdullah bin Amr

The Prophet said, "Whoever has the following four (characteristics) will be a pure hypocrite and whoever has one of the following four characteristics will have one characteristic of hypocrisy unless and until he gives it up.
1.    Whenever he is entrusted, he betrays.
2.    Whenever he speaks, he tells a lie.
3.    Whenever he makes a covenant, he proves treacherous.
4.    Whenever he quarrels, he behaves in a very imprudent, evil and insulting manner."


4.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.34    Narrated by Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever establishes the prayers on the night of Qadr out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not to show off) then all his past sins will be forgiven."


5.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.35    Narrated by Abu Huraira

The Prophet said, "The person who participates in (Holy battles) in Allah's cause and nothing compels him to do so except belief in Allah and His Apostles, will be recompensed by Allah either with a reward, or booty (if he survives) or will be admitted to Paradise (if he is killed in the battle as a martyr). Had I not found it difficult for my followers, then I would not remain behind any sariya going for Jihad and I would have loved to be martyred in Allah's cause and then made alive, and then martyred and then made alive, and then again martyred in His cause."


6.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.36    Narrated by Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said: "Whoever establishes prayers during the nights of Ramadan faithfully out of sincere faith and hoping to attain Allah's rewards (not for showing off), all his past sins will be forgiven."


7.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.37    Narrated by Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said, "Whoever observes fasts during the month of Ramadan out of sincere faith, and hoping to attain Allah's rewards, then all his past sins will be forgiven."


8.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.38     Narrated by Abu Huraira

The Prophet said, "Religion is very easy and whoever overburdens himself in his religion will not be able to continue in that way. So you should not be extremists, but try to be near to perfection and receive the good tidings that you will be rewarded; and gain strength by worshipping in the mornings, the nights." (See Fath-ul-Bari, Page 102, Vol 1).


9.   Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.39    Narrated by Al Bara (bin Azib)

When the Prophet came to Medina, he stayed first with his grandfathers or maternal uncles from Ansar. He offered his prayers facing Baitul-Maqdis (Jerusalem) for sixteen or seventeen months, but he wished that he could pray facing the Ka'ba (at Mecca). The first prayer which he offered facing the Ka'ba was the 'Asr prayer in the company of some people. Then one of those who had offered that prayer with him came out and passed by some people in a mosque who were bowing during their prayers (facing Jerusalem). He said addressing them, "By Allah, I testify that I have prayed with Allah's Apostle facing Mecca (Ka'ba).' Hearing that, those people changed their direction towards the Ka'ba immediately. Jews and the people of the scriptures used to be pleased to see the Prophet facing Jerusalem in prayers but when he changed his direction towards the Ka'ba, during the prayers, they disapproved of it.
Al-Bara' added, "Before we changed our direction towards the Ka'ba (Mecca) in prayers, some Muslims had died or had been killed and we did not know what to say about them (regarding their prayers.) Allah then revealed: And Allah would never make your faith (prayers) to be lost (i.e. the prayers of those Muslims were valid).' " (2.143).


10.  Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 1.40    Narrated by Abu Huraira

Allah's Apostle said, "If any one of you improve (follows strictly) his Islamic religion then his good deeds will be rewarded ten times to seven hundred times for each good deed and a bad deed will be recorded as it is."
