                SEAT IN HELL:
              
            
            
              “Whoever ascribes to me what I have not said then let him occupy his seat in Hell-
            
            
              fire!” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
            
            
              
                EXAMPLE OF A BELIEVER:
              
            
            
              “The example of a believer is that of a fresh tender plant; from whatever direction
            
            
              the wind comes, it bends it, but when the wind quietens down, the plant becomes
            
            
              straight again...” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
            
            
              
                PLANT A TREE:
              
            
            
              “If a Muslim plants a tree or sows seeds, and then a bird, or a person or an animal
            
            
              eats from it, it is regarded as a charitable gift (sadaqah) for him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari)
            
            
              
                FOR SERVING ANIMALS:
              
            
            
              “A man felt very thirsty while he was on the way, there he came across a well. He
            
            
              went down the well, quenched his thirst and came out. Meanwhile he saw a dog
            
            
              panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst. He said to himself, “This dog
            
            
              is suffering from thirst as I did.” So, he went down the well again, filled his shoe
            
            
              with water, held it with his mouth and
            
            
              watered the dog. Allah appreciated
            
            
              him for that deed and forgave
            
            
              him.” The Companions said,
            
            
              “O Allah’s Messenger! Is there
            
            
              a reward for us in serving
            
            
              the animals?” He replied:
            
            
              “There is a reward for serving
            
            
              any living being.” (Sahih al-
            
            
              Bukhari)
            
            
              
                WHO FILLS HIS STOMACH:
              
            
            
              “Nothing is worse than a person
            
            
              who fills his stomach. It should
            
            
              be enough for the son of
            
            
              Adam to have a few bites
            
            
              to satisfy his hunger. If he
            
            
              wishes more, it should
            
            
              be: One-third for his
            
            
              food, one-third for his
            
            
              liquids, and one-third for
            
            
              his breath.” (Tirmidhi and Ibn
            
            
              Majah)
