Narrated Abu Jamra:
I was an interpreter between the people and Ibn 'Abbas. Once Ibn 'Abbas said that a delegation of the tribe of'Abdul Qais came to the Prophet who asked them, "Who are the people (i.e. you)? (Or) who are the delegates?" They replied, "We are from the tribe of Rabi'a." Then the Prophet said to them, "Welcome, O people (or said, "O delegation (of 'Abdul Qais).") Neither will you have disgrace nor will you regret." They said, "We have come to you from a distant place and there is the tribe of the infidels of Mudar intervening between you and us and we cannot come to you except in the sacred month. So please order us to do something good (religious deeds) and that we may also inform our people whom we have left behind (at home) and that we may enter Paradise (by acting on them.)" The Prophet ordered them to do four things, and forbade them from four things. He ordered them to believe in Allah Alone, the Honorable the Majestic and said to them, "Do you know what is meant by believing in Allah Alone?" They replied, "Allah and His Apostle know better." Thereupon the Prophet said, "(That means to testify that none has the right to be worshipped but Allah and that Muhammad is His Apostle, to offer prayers perfectly, to pay Zakat, to observe fasts during the month of Ramadan, (and) to pay Al-Khumus (one fifth of the booty to be given in Allah's cause)." Then he forbade them four things, namely Ad-Dubba.' Hantam, Muzaffat (and) An-Naqir or Muqaiyar(These were the names of pots in which alcoholic drinks used to be prepared). The Prophet further said, "Memorize them (these instructions) and tell them to the people whom you have left behind."

Hadith
Narrated Ibn 'Umar:
Allah's Apostle said, "Amongst the trees, there is a tree, the leaves of which do not fall and is like a Muslim. Tell me the name of that tree." Everybody started thinking about the trees of the desert areas. And I thought of the date-palm tree but felt shy to answer the others then asked, "What is that tree, O Allah's Apostle ?" He replied, "It is the date-palm tree."

We Are Seven
--A Simple Child,
That lightly draws its breath,
And feels its life in every limb,
What should it know of death?
I met a little cottage Girl:
She was eight years old, she said;
Her hair was thick with many a curl
That clustered round her head.
She had a rustic, woodland air,
And she was wildly clad:
Her eyes were fair, and very fair;
--Her beauty made me glad.
"Sisters and brothers, little Maid,
How many may you be?"
"How many? Seven in all," she said
And wondering looked at me.
"And where are they? I pray you tell.
"She answered, "Seven are we;
And two of us at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea.
"Two of us in the church-yard lie,
My sister and my brother;
And, in the church-yard cottage, I
Dwell near them with my mother."
"You say that two at Conway dwell,
And two are gone to sea,
Yet ye are seven!--I pray you tell,
Sweet Maid, how this may be.
"Then did the little Maid reply,
"Seven boys and girls are we;
Two of us in the church-yard lie,
Beneath the church-yard tree."
"You run about, my little Maid,
Your limbs they are alive;
If two are in the church-yard laid,
Then ye are only five."
"Their graves are green, they may be seen,
"The little Maid replied,
"Twelve steps or more from my mother's door,
And they are side by side.
"My stockings there I often knit,
My kerchief there I hem;
And there upon the ground I sit,
And sing a song to them.
"And often after sunset, Sir,
When it is light and fair,
I take my little porringer,
And eat my supper there.
"The first that died was sister Jane;
In bed she moaning lay,
Till God released her of her pain;
And then she went away.
"So in the church-yard she was laid;
And, when the grass was dry,
Together round her grave we played,
My brother John and I.
"And when the ground was white with snow,
And I could run and slide,
My brother John was forced to go,
And he lies by her side."
"How many are you, then," said I,
"If they two are in heaven?
"Quick was the little Maid's reply,
"O Master! we are seven."
"But they are dead; those two are dead!
Their spirits are in heaven!"
'Twas throwing words away; for still
The little Maid would have her will,
And said, "Nay, we are seven

Nigah-e-faqr mai.....
Nigah-e-faqr mai shan-e-sikandari kia hai?
Khiraj ki jo gada ho wo Qaisaree kia hai?
Buton se tujh ko umeedein,Khuda se nomeedi
Mujhey bata to sahi aur kaafri kia hai?
Falak ne un ko ata ki hai khawajgi k jinhein
Khabar nahi rawish-e-banda perwari kia hai?
Faqat nigah se hota hai faisla dil ka
Na ho nigah mai shokhi to dilbari kia hai?
Isi khata se itab-e-malook hai mujh per
K janta hoon Ma'al-e-sikandari kia hai?
Kissay nahi hai tammanaye serwari lakin
Khudi ki maut ho jis mai wo serwari kia hai?
Khush aagayee hai jahan ko qalandri meri
Wagarna sher mera kia hai shaeyree kia hai?

Actions for the sake of Allah only
Allah Almighty says:
I am so self-sufficient that I am in no need of having an associate. Thus he who does an action for someone else's sake as well as Mine will have that action renounced by Me to him whom he associated with Me.
It was related by Muslim (also by Ibn Majah).

Allah's comments on His Believer and the pagan
On the authority of Zayd ibn Khalid al-Juhaniyy (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:
The Messenger of Allah (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) led the morning prayer for us at al-Hudaybiyah following rainfall during the night. When the Prophet (may the blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) finished, he faced the people and said to them:
"Do you know what your Lord has said?" They said: "Allah and his Messenger know best." He said: "This morning one of my servants became a believer in Me and one a disbeliever. As for him who said: We have been given rain by virtue of Allah and His mercy, that one is a believer in Me, a disbeliever in the stars (*); and as for him who said: We have been given rain by such-and-such a star, that one is a disbeliever in Me, a believer in the stars."
(*) The pre-Islamic Arabs believed that rain was brought about by the movement of stars. This Hadith draws attention to the fact that whatever be the direct cause of such natural phenomena as rain, it is Allah the Almighty who is the Disposer of all things.
It is related by al-Bukhari (also by Malik and an-Nasa'i).

Allah's Servants; His Love and Detest of them
If Allah has loved a servant [of His] He calls Gabriel (on whom be peace) and says: I love So-and-so, therefore love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So Gabriel loves him. Then he (Gabriel) calls out in heaven, saying: Allah loves So-and-so, therefore love him. And the inhabitants of heaven love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: Then acceptance is established for him on earth. And if Allah has abhorred a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel and says: I abhor So-and-so, therefore abhor him. So Gabriel abhors him. Then Gabriel calls out to the inhabitants of heaven: Allah abhors So-and-so, therefore abhor him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So they abhor him, and abhorrence is established for him on earth.

Competing with Allah's Pride and Greatness
Allah Almighty says:
Pride is my cloak and greatness is My robe, and he who competes with Me in respect of either of them I shall cast into Hell-fire.
It was related by Abu Dawud (also by Ibn Majah and Ahmad) with sound Isnad (chains of authority). This Hadith also appears in Muslim in another version.

Our own failure to please Allah is our own loss - Allah Almighty is not affected
O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you, O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and will not attain benefitting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more that a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him who finds good, praise Allah and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.

Naat
Kisi gham ghusaar ki mehnaton ka ye khoob mai ne sila diya
K jo meray gham mai ghula kia ussay mai ne dil se bhula diya
Jo jamal-e-Rooh-e-hayat tha jo dalil-e-rahe nijat tha
ussi rahber k naqoosh-e-pa ko musafiron ne mita diya
Mai teray mazar ki jalion hi ki midhaton mai magan raha
teray dushmanon ne teray chaman mai khizan ka jaal bicha diya
Teray husn-e-khulq ki ek ramaq meri zindagi mai na mil saki
mai issi mai khush hoon k shehar k der-o-baam ko to saja diya
Teray sour-o-badr k baab k mai waraq ulat k guzar gaya
Mujhey sirf teri hikayaton ki riwayatoan ne maza diya
Ye meri aqeedat-e- be basar ye meri riyazat-e-behuner
mujhey meray dawa-e-ishq ne na sanam diya na khuda diya
Tera naqsh-e-pa tha jo rehnuma to ghubar-e-rah thi kehkshan
issay kho diya to zamany bhar ne humein nazer se gira diya
kabhi aay inayat-e-kam nazer teray dil mai ye bhi kasak huwi
jo tabassum-e-rukh-e-zeest tha ussay teray gham ne rula diya
K jo meray gham mai ghula kia ussay mai ne dil se bhula diya
Jo jamal-e-Rooh-e-hayat tha jo dalil-e-rahe nijat tha
