❞ كتاب Great reward for simple actions ❝ ⏤ Mohammed Khair Ramadan Yosuf

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds [i.e., people]. Peace be upon our Prophet
Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions.
The title of this book is inspired from the Prophet's saying: "This person has worked
little but was rewarded much." He said that when a man from the Ansar (Helpers)
came to him, uttered the testimony of the faith (La Ilaha Illa Allah i.e., No god but
Allah), then advanced to the battle to fight until he was killed as reported by Imam
Muslim in the chapter on confirming the entrance of a martyr to Paradise.
These are selections from authentic Hadiths with short commentaries which I
extracted from the books of Hadith explanations. The methodology of selection is the
Hadiths which contain great reward for little and easy work, unlike the Hadiths of
expiating sins and faults that were written in other books.
A reader shall wonder at the mentioned Hadiths because of their great reward for
little actions or Adhkar (invocations and Remembrances said at certain times on a
regular basis) which a person does or says. However, Allah's Mercy is broad, for He
is the Most Generous, the Most Merciful who grants favors more than His Servants
think. He (Glory be to Him) exhorts us to Paradise and guides us to the shortest way
to it.
In an authentic Hadith that was reported by Imam Ahmad in his Musnad that the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever recites "Qul Huwa Allahu
Ahad i.e., [Say: He is Allah, the One]" until its end ten times, Allah shall build for
him a palace in Paradise. Thereupon, `Umar ibn Al Khattab (may Allah be pleased
with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, I shall recite it repeatedly. Upon this the
Messenger of Allah (may peace and blessings be upon him) remarked: Allah is more
plentiful (in responding) and the best." In another good and authentic Hadith
reported by At-Tirmidhy on the authority of `Ubadah ibn As-Samit that the
Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "There is no Muslim on the face of the
earth who invokes Allah, but Allah grants him exactly what he wants, or removes
from him a like amount of evil, provided he does not invoke Allah for a sin or
severing ties of relationship. Thereupon, a man said: Then we will make much
supplication. He (the Prophet) said: Allah is more plentiful (in responding)." You
should not forget that the commodity of Allah is so dear, so it needs more good
deeds so that you can win it and these good deeds are multiplied by Allah (may He
be Glorified and Exalted);
