Bukhari :: Book 2 :: Volume 18 :: Hadith 150
Narrated Abu Bakra:
We were with Allah's Apostle when the sun eclipsed. Allah's Apostle stood up dragging his cloak till he entered the Mosque. He led us in a two-Rakat prayer till the sun (eclipse) had cleared. Then the Prophet (p.b.u.h) said, "The sun and the moon do not eclipse because of someone's death. So whenever you see these eclipses pray and invoke (Allah) till the eclipse is over."

more serious matter)."

Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for him who treads the path in search of knowledge
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Allah makes the way to Jannah easy for
him who treads the path in search of knowledge.'' [Muslim].
Commentary: In this Hadith, knowledge means the knowledge of the religion, that is to say the
correct knowledge of the Qur'an and Hadith which is acquired without
any prejudice of any juristic school. Otherwise juristic prejudice can
turn knowledge into great obstruction. May Allah bestow His Mercy on us.
And march forth in the way (which leads to) forgiveness from your Lord,
and for Paradise as wide as are the heavens and the earth, prepared for
Al-Muttaqûn (the pious).[ Âl-'Imrân:133]
278. Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger
of Allah (PBUH) said, "The believers who show the most perfect Faith
are those who have the best behaviour, and the best of you are those
who are the best to their wives".[At-Tirmidhi].
Truly, Allâh is with those who fear Him (keep their duty unto Him)[],
and those who are Muhsinûn (good-doers).[AN-NAHL:128]

Sahih bukhaari - Volume 3, Book 36, Number 461:
Narrated Abu Musa Al-Ashari:

When one of you leads the Salat, he should not prolong it
Abu Hurairah (May Allah bepleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When one of you leads the Salat, he should not prolong it because the congregation includes those who are feeble, ill or old". One version adds: "those who have to attend to work'') While offering prayers alone, you may pray as long as you like". [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: According to this Hadith, the Imam - one who leads the congregational prayer, is enjoined to shorten the prayer in consideration of those who pray behind him. Shortening of prayer here means that the Surah of the Qur'an recited by him in the prayer should not be very long.
This does not mean, however, that the postures of Salat, such as standing, bowing, prostration and sitting should not be done properly, as it is taken to mean by Muslims in general. Although it is a Sunnah about which the Noble Prophet (PBUH) is reported to have said, "Pray as you see me praying.'' Thus, it is essential to perform Salat properly.

Importance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah
170. Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Whenever the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) delivered a Khutbah, his eyes would become red, his tone loud and he showed anger as if he were warning us against an army.
He (PBUH) would say, "The enemy is about to attack you in the morning and the enemy is advancing against you in the evening". He would further say, "I am sent with the final Hour like these two fingers of mine.'' Messenger of Allah (PBUH) held up his index finger and the middle finger together to illustrate. He used to add: "To proceed, the best speech is the Book of Allah and the best guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (PBUH), the worst practice is the introduction of new practices in Islam and every Bid`ah is a misguidance". He would also say, "I am, in respect of rights, nearer to every believer than his own self. He who leaves an estate, it belongs to his heirs, and he who leaves a debt, it is my responsibility to pay it off.'' [Muslim].
Commentary:
1. This Hadith mentions the style of the speech of the Prophet (PBUH). His auspicious presence is regarded in it as a sign of the nearness of the Day of Resurrection.
2. It emphasizes the importance of the Qur'an and the Sunnah and brings into focus the destruction caused by Bid`ah in Deen.
3. It clearly lays down that the orphans and the needy are the liability of the government/Bait-ul-Mal (public exchequer). The reason being that the caliphs were the successors of the Prophet (PBUH) and the work which was done by him in his lifetime was after him their responsibility.
4. The rightful owners of the deceased are their heirs and none else.

"Are you the same people??
SAHIH BUKHARI - Volume 7, Book 62, Number 1:
Narrated Anas bin Malik:
A group of three men came to the houses of the wives of the Prophet asking how the Prophet worshipped (Allah), and when they were informed about that, they considered their worship insufficient and said, "Where are we from the Prophet as his past and future sins have been forgiven." Then one of them said, "I will offer the prayer throughout the night forever." The other said, "I will fast throughout the year and will not break my fast." The third said, "I will keep away from the women and will not marry forever." Allah's Apostle came to them and said, "Are you the same people who said so-and-so? By Allah, I am more submissive to Allah and more afraid of Him than you; yet I fast and break my fast, I do sleep and I also marry women. So he who does not follow my tradition in religion, is not from me (not one of my followers)."

Everyone will do the deeds
Sahih bukhari - Volume 8, Book 77, Number 595:
Narrated Imran bin Husain:
A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! Can the people of Paradise be known (differentiated) from the people of the Fire; The Prophet replied, "Yes." The man said, "Why do people (try to) do (good) deeds?" The Prophet said, "Everyone will do the deeds for which he has been created to do or he will do those deeds which will be made easy for him to do." (i.e. everybody will find easy to do such deeds as will lead him to his destined place for which he has been created).
