7
Observing some manners of the day of Jumu`ah. Whoever ghassala
(washes his head, and it is said: has intercourse with his wife so that it be
a means to lower the gaze from the haram that day) on the day of Jumuah,
then comes in the earliest time and before the first khutbah, walks and
doesnt ride, stays near the Imam, listens and does not speak for each
step [he makes] he has actions of one year, the reward of fasting and
standing in prayer in it. [Ahl as-Sunan]
8
Salat ul-Ishraq. Whoever prays al-ghadaa (i.e. al fajr) in
congregation, then sits remembering Allah until sunrise, then prays two
units of prayer, has a complete reward of Hajj and `Umrah [The Prophet,
sallallahu `alayhi wa sallam, repeated complete three times for
emphasizing].
9
Attending lectures in the mosque. Whoever goes to the mosque not
desiring except to learn or teach what is good has the reward of a pilgrim
who completed his Hajj.
10
Performing `Umrah in the month of Ramadhan. `Umrah in
Ramadhan is equal to a Hajj with me.
11.
Performing obligatory prayers in the Mosque. Whoever leaves his
home in a state of purity to perform obligatory prayer, his reward is like
that of a pilgrim (while) in the state of ihram [i.e. he receives reward
similar to that of spending time in ihram during Hajj].
12.
Being from the people of the first row in congregational prayers.
`Irbad bin Saariyah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: The Messenger
of Allah, (saws), used to seek forgiveness for [the people of] the first row
three times, and for [the people of the] second row once. [an-Nasai and
Ibn Majah]. Allah and His Angels make salawat upon [the people of] the
first row.
13.
Prayer in Masjid Qubaa in Madinah: Whoever purifies himself in his
house then comes to Masjid Qubaa and prays in it has the reward like that
of `Umrah.

14.
Saying what the caller to prayer says: Say as they say [i.e. callers
to prayer], and when you finish, ask and you will be given.
15.
Fasting Ramadhan and following it with six days of Shawwal.
Whoever fasts Ramadhan, then follows it with six (days) of Shawwal, it is
like fasting all the time.
16.
Fasting three days each month. Whoever fasts three days each
month, it s like fasting all the time. [at-Tirmidhi]. This is supported by the
verse, Whoever comes with a good deed for him is a tenfold [reward].
One day being equal to ten days.
17.

adhkaar after prayer

18.
Standing in prayer on Laylatul-Qadr. Laylatul Qadr is better than a
thousand months [Quran 97:3], that is, superior to approximately 83
years of worship.
19.
Jihad. Standing of a man in a row (saff) in the way of Allah is
superior to 60 years of worship. [al-Hakim, classed as Saheeh by alAlbani] This is the superiority of standing in a row, so what about one who
fights in the way of Allah for days, or Months, or years?
20.
Ribaat. Whoever takes a post (at borders of Muslim lands, where an
enemy may be expected) for a day and night in the way of Allah has the
reward of fasting and standing in prayer for a month, and whoever dies in
such a state receives a continuous reward similar to it, and is [also]
rewarded with provision and saved from al-Fattaan. [Related by Muslim]
Al-Fattaan is punishment of the grave.
21.
Righteous actions in the first ten days of Dhul Hijjah. There are no
days in which righteous deeds are dearer to Allah than these ten [days of
Dhul Hijjah]. They said, O Messenger, even jihad in the way of Allah?
He said, Not even jihad in the way of Allah, except for the man who
leaves with his wealth, and does not return with any of it (life or wealth).
[al-Bukhari]
22.
Frequent recitation of Quranic soorahs. Qul HuwaLlahu Ahad is
equal to a third of the Quran and Qul yaa ayyuhal Kaafiroon is equal to
a fourth of the Quran. [at-Tabarani, classed as Saheeh by Al-Albani]
23.
Fulfilling peoples needs. That I walk with my Muslim brother in
[fulfilling his] need is dearer to me than being in i`tikaf in the masjid for a
month. [Ibn Abi Dunya, classed as Hasan by al-Albani]
24.
Whoever attends a funeral until he offers the (funeral) prayer will have one
qiraat (of reward) and whoever attends until the burial is done will have two

qiraats. It was asked: What are the two qiraats? He said: Like two great
mountains. (Bukhari)

25.
Whoever says Subhan Allah wa bi Hamdih (Praise and Glory be to Allah) one
hundred times, morning and evening, his sins will be erased even if they are like the
foam of the sea. (Bukhari)
26.

Exhortation and Advising

Abdullah, the son of Imam Ahmed narrated: It was said: Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said: "The best
loved slaves to Allah are those who exhort their slaves."

27.
Providing food for breaking of the fast: Whoever provides food for breaking of
the fast of a fasting person receives the reward of the fasting person, without the reward
of the fasting person being reduced in any way. [at-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah]
28.
Reciting Four Phrases: Juwairiyah bint Al-Harith (R.A) reported that the Prophet
came out from my apartment in the morning as I was busy in performing the dawn prayer.
He came back in the forenoon and found me sitting there. The Prophet said: Are you still
in the same position as I left you. I replied in the affi rmative. Thereupon the Prophet
(Peace be upon Him) said: I recited four phrases three times after I had left you. If these
are to be weighed against all you have recited since morning, these will be heavier. These
are: Subhan-Allah Wa bihamdihi, adada khalqihi, wa rida-a nafsihi, wa zinatah
arshihi, wa midada kalimatihi [Allah is free from imperfection and I begin with His
praise, as many times as the number of His creatures, in accordance with His Good
Pleasure, equal to the ink that may be used in recording the words (for His Praise]
[Muslim]
29.
Fasting 6 Days in Shawwal: Abu Ayyoob (may Allaah be pleased with him)
reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
Whoever fasts Ramadan and follows it with six days of Shawwaal, it will be as if he fasted
for a lifetime. (Narrated by Muslim, Abu Dawood, al-Tirmidhi, al-Nisaai and Ibn Maajah)
