Do you want Allaah to respond to you in times of hardship and distress?

 

مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَسْتَجِيْبَ اللهُ لَهُ عِنْدَ الشَّدَائِدِ وَالْكَرْبِ فَلْيُكْثِرِ
الدُّعَاءَ فِي الْرَّخَاْءِ

From Abi Hurairah that the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “Whoever would be delighted by Allaah responding to him in times of hardship and distress, then let him supplicate abundantly when at ease.”

And from Aaishah, may Allaah be pleased with her, that the Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم would remember Allaah, the Most High, at all times.

The Reward of FREEING ten slaves on your account?

Abu Huraira (radiyAllaahu anhu) narrated that Allaah's Messenger ﷺ said:

"Whoever says:

 

'Laa ilaaha illa-Allaahu wahdahu laa sharika lahu, lahul-mulku, wa Lahul-hamdu, wahuwa 'alaa kulli shai'in qadeer.’

 

(There is no deity worthy of worship except Allaah Alone, He has no associate. His is the Dominion & to Him is due all Praise; He gives life & causes death & He has power over all things).

100 times will get the same reward as liberating (freeing) ten slaves, one hundred good deeds will be written in his account, & one hundred sins will be deducted from his account, & it (his saying) will be a shield for him from Shaitaan on that day till night, & NOBODY will be able to do a better deed except the one who does more than him."

[Bukhari Volume 8, Book 75, Number 412. This hadith is also in Muslim]

Gentleness

 

From Abi Hurairah (رضي اللّه عنـه) who said that Allaah’s Messenger (صلّى اللَّهُ عليه وسلّم) said:

“Indeed Allaah is gentle and loves gentleness, and gives due to gentleness that which He does not give to harshness.”

Reported by Ibn Majah [no. 3688] and Ibn Hibaan [no. 549]

"...forgive him..."

 

Narrated Abi Hurairah (radhiyallaahu 'anhu): Allaah's Apostle (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, 

"A man used to give loans to the people and used to say to his servant, 'If the debtor is poor, forgive him, so that Allaah may forgive us.' So when he met Allaah (after his death), Allaah forgave him."
