عَنْ أَبِي مَالِكٍ الْأَشْعَرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الْإِيمَانِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ تَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ (وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاوَاتِ) وَالْأَرْضِ وَالصَّلَاةُ نُورٌ وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ عَلَيْكَ أَوْ لَكَ كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُوبِقُهَا أَوْ مُعْتِقُهَا
Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash’ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Ablution is half of faith, “Alhamdulillah” fills the scale, and “Subhanallah, and Allahu Akbar, and La ilaha illallah, and Allahu Akbar” fill the space between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light, charity is proof, patience is illumination, and the Qur’an will be an argument for you or against you. Every person sets out in the morning selling his soul, so he either ruins it or frees it.
