"It has been narrated on the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allah said: Whom do you consider to be a martyr among you? They said: Messenger, of Allah, one who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr. He said: Then the martyrs of my Umma will be small in number. They asked: Messenger of Allah, who are they? He said: One who is slain in the way of Allah is a martyr; one who dies in the way of Allah, is a martyr; one who dies of plague is a martyr; one who dies of cholera is a martyr. Ibn Miqsam said: I testify the truth of your father's statement that the Holy Prophet said: One who is drowned is a martyr."

“Brighten up your houses through the recitation of the Qur’an, and do not make them like graves, similar to what the Jews and Christians have done .”

“The ink of the scholar is more sacred than the blood of the martyr.”

“Abu Usayd Malik ibn Rabi'a as-Sa'idi said, "Once while we were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, a man from the Banu Salama came up and asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, is there any devotion to my parents which I can show them after their death?' He said, 'Yes, praying for them, asking forgiveness for them, fulfilling their pledges after them, maintaining ties with relations which are only maintained through them, and honouring any friend of theirs.”

“Abu Huraira reported that a person came to Allah's Messenger and said: Who among the people is most deserving of a fine treatment from my hand? He said: Your mother. He again said: Then who ? He said: Again it is your mother . He said: Then who ? He said: Again, it is your mother. He said: Then who? Thereupon he said: Then it is your father.”

“Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "There are three people that Allah will not speak to on the Day of Rising nor purify nor look at and they will have a painful punishment: an old adulterer, a lying ruler and a poor person who is arrogant.”

“Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah is pleased with His slave who eats a morsel and praises Allah for it or takes a drink and praises Allah for it.”
