Hadith 676
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Malik Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Purity is half of faith, and 'Alhamdulillah' fills the scale, and «(لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر)» both fill the space between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is light, charity is a proof, ablution is brightness, and the Qur'an is a proof for you or against you, and every person sets out in the morning either freeing himself or destroying himself."
Hadith 677
حَدَّثَنَا حَدَّثَنَا
سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَامِرٍ، عَنْ
شُعْبَةَ، عَنْ
أَبِي إِسْحَاق، عَنْ
جُرَيٍّ النَّهْدِيِّ، عَنْ
رَجُلٍ مِنْ بَنِي سُلَيْمٍ، قَالَ: عَقَدَهُنَّ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي يَدِي أَوْ قَالَ: عَقَدَهُنَّ فِي يَدِهِ وَيَدُهُ فِي يَدِي:
"سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ نِصْفُ الْميزَانِ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ يَمْلَأُ الْمِيزَانَ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ يَمْلَأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ، وَالْوُضُوءُ نِصْفُ الْإِيمَانِ، وَالصَّوْمُ نِصْفُ الصَّبْرِ".
A man from Banu Sulaym said that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) counted these tasbihat on my hand. In one narration, it is mentioned that he counted them on his hand while his hand was in my hand. «سبحان الله» fills half the scale, and «الحمد لله» fills the entire scale, and «الله أكبر» fills the space between the heavens and the earth. And ablution is half of faith, and fasting is half of patience.

مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ، عَنْ
مَنْصُورٍ،
وَالْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ
سَالِمِ بْنِ أَبِي الْجَعْدِ، عَنْ
ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ:
"اسْتَقِيمُوا وَلَنْ تُحْصُوا، وَاعْلَمُوا أَنَّ خَيْرَ أَعْمَالِكُمْ الصَّلَاةُ"وَقَالَ الْآخَرُ: "إِنَّ مِنْ خَيْرِ أَعْمَالِكُمْ الصَّلَاةَ""وَلَنْ يُحَافِظَ عَلَى الْوُضُوءِ إِلَّا مُؤْمِنٌ".
The freed slave of the Messenger of Allah, Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him), said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Be upright and steadfast, and you will not be able to encompass all good deeds. And know that among your best deeds is prayer, and none maintains ablution except a believer."
Hadith 679
Abu Kabsha Sululi narrated that he heard the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) saying that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: "Adopt moderation and try to come close to correctness. And the best of your deeds is prayer, and none guards ablution except a believer."
