It is narrated from Mu'awiyah bin Qurrah that he said: Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said to me: "I have not seen the like of what has reached us from our Lord. We did not go out from all our family and wealth for it: that He has overlooked for us what is below the major sins. So what have we to do with them? The statement of Allah is: 'If you avoid the major sins which you are forbidden, We will remove your misdeeds from you and admit you to a noble entrance' [Al-Nisa: 31]."

It is narrated from Muhammad bin Khalid that Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to say: "No morning or evening passes except that every piece of land calls out to the piece beside it: 'O my companion! Has a prophet, a truthful one or one who remembers Allah passed by you today?' Some pieces say: 'Yes,' and some pieces say: 'No.'"

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) about the statement of Allah: "So by your Lord, We will surely question them all about what they used to do" [Al-Hijr: 92-93], that he said: "It means La ilaha illa Allah (there is no god but Allah)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Whoever takes (someone) as a brother for the sake of Allah, Allah Almighty builds a tower for him in Paradise. Whoever wears a garment by disparaging his brother, Allah Almighty will clothe him in a garment of Hell. Whoever eats something by disparaging his brother, Allah, the Exalted, will feed him in Hell. And whoever disparages his brother to gain fame and show, Allah Almighty will make him stand in a place of disgrace and show on the Day of Resurrection."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "Whenever any two men from the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met, they would part only after remembering Allah and supplicating."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "If you knew what I know, you would weep much and laugh little."

Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Three things go along with the deceased: his family, his wealth and his deeds. Then his family and wealth return, and one thing remains, namely his deeds."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "I do not know of anything except the prayer."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: "There are three things: whoever has them will find the taste and sweetness of faith. That Allah and His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) are more beloved to him than all else; that he loves for the sake of Allah and hates for the sake of Allah; and that if a fire were lit for him and he were thrown into it, this would be more beloved to him than associating partners with Allah."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), regarding the saying of Allah, "And for every person We have fastened his fate to his neck" [Al-Isra: 13], that he said: This refers to his record of deeds.
