[1] Do not increase or decrease faith in some jurists. rather remains equal. For them, the faith of a prophet and the faith of the devil are the same. Their belief is against Quran and Sunnah. It is among the false ‘Aqedah of the Moriah community.

Ubadah Ibn Samit (RA):
‘Ubadah Ibn Samit (RA) participated in the Battle of Badr and was a Naqeeb of LALATE ‘Aqaba. ‘Ubadah Ibnu’s Samit (R.A.) narrates that the Messenger of God (may peace be upon him) said in the presence of one of his Companions: Take the pledge of allegiance to me that you will not associate anything with God or steal anything. No, do not commit adultery, do not kill your children, do not accuse anyone falsely, and do not disobey good. And if anyone indulges in any of these and receives his punishment in the world, then that will be the expiation for him. And if one indulges in any of these and Allah keeps it unrevealed, it is by Allah’s will. We took Bayat on it.

Narrated by Sa’d
Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) gave something to a group of people. Sa’d (RA) was sitting there. Sa’d (RA) said, Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) did not give anything to one of them. That person was more likable to me than them. So, I said, O Messenger of God! Why did you leave such a person? God’s oath! I know him as a believer. He said: No, Muslim. I was silent for a while. After that, I had a strong desire to (express) what I knew about him. So, I repeated my statement, you excluded such and such from the donation? God’s oath! I know him as a believer. He said: ‘No, Muslim?’ I remained silent for a while. Then I had a strong desire (to express) what I knew about him. So, I said again, you excluded such and such from the donation? God’s oath! I know him as a believer. He said: ‘No, Muslim?’ Then I remained silent for a while. Then I had a strong desire (to express) what I knew about him. So, I repeated my statement. Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) again gave the same answer. Then he said: ‘Saad! I sometimes give to a particular person, but others are dearer to me than that. It is in fear that (he may eventually turn away from the faith), Allah Tamala will throw him face down into Hell.
This hadith was narrated by Yunus, Salih, MA ‘mar, and Zuhri (RA) the nephew of Zuhri (RA).

Narrated from Maroon (RA):
He said: I once met Abu Dhar at a place called Rabea. He wore a pair of clothes (lungi and chadar) and his servant wore a similar pair of clothes. When I asked him the reason for this, he said: Once I abused a person and I shamed him about his mother. Then Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) said to me, Abu Dhar! Did you shame him about his mother? You are such a person; you still have the nature of the dark ages. Know that your slaves are your brothers. Allah subjugated them to you. So, the brother who is under him should feed him what he eats and wear what he wears. Do not impose on them a task that is more difficult for them. If you allow them to do such difficult work, you will also help them.

Narrated by Abu Jam rah (RA):
He said I used to sit with Ibn Abbas (RA). He used to put me in his seat. Once he said: Stay with me, I will give you a portion of my wealth. I stayed with him for two months. Then once he said, when a delegation of Abdul Qays came to the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him), he said: Which tribe are you from? Or said, which delegation? They said, ‘Of the tribe of Rabi’a.’ He said: Welcome to that tribe or that delegation which has come without disgrace or shame. They said, O Messenger of God! We cannot come to you at any time other than Shahrud Haram. Between us and you dwell the disbelievers of the tribe of Mazar. So, give us some clear instructions, so that we may inform those we have left behind and so that we may enter Paradise. They also asked about drinks. Then he enjoined them on four things and forbade them to do four things. Commanding them to believe in One God, he said: ‘Do you know how to believe in One God?’ They said, ‘Allah and His Messenger know best.’ There is no God and Muhammad (may peace be upon him) is the Messenger of God and establishing prayer, paying zakat, observing the fast of Ramadan; And you shall collect one-fifth of the booty. He asked them to refrain from four things. And these are green pitchers, dry gourd shells, vessels made from the powder of palm trees, and vessels painted with tar. Rabi said, the narrator (instead of Gujarat) sometimes mentions an aqua (the two words mean the same); He also said, knows these things well and informs others about them.
