Zakat, and maintain the ties of kinship".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith indicates the actions which constitute the means to attain Jannah and salvation from
Hell. Thus, it makes evident that Jannah cannot be achieved by wishful thinking. One cannot get it without Faith and
good deeds. In the absence of these two factors, intercession of any person will be of no avail.

Salman bin `Amir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"When you break fast,
you should do it with a date-fruit for there is blessing in it, and if you do not find a date-fruit, break it with water for
it is pure.''
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) added:
"Charity towards a poor person is charity, and towards a relation is
both charity and maintaining the ties (of kinship)".
[Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
We learn two points from this Hadith:
Firstly, it is more rewarding to break the fast with date-fruit or water. Secondly, payment of Sadaqah to one's poor
relatives carries a double reward.

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I had a wife whom I loved but `Umar (May Allah be
pleased with him) disliked her. He asked me to divorce her and when I refused, `Umar (May Allah be pleased with
him) went to Messenger of Allah (PBUH) and mentioned the matter to him. Messenger of Allah (PBUH)
asked me
to divorce her.
[At-Tirmidhi and Abu Dawud].
Commentary:
If parents' order to divorce one's wife is based on the principles of Shari`ah and morality, it must be
obeyed, as is evident from this Hadith. If their order is founded on other factors, then one should try to convince
them politely so that they agree with one's view on the issue. Here Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with him)
loved his wife for love's sake, but his father `Umar bin Khattab (May Allah be pleased with him) disliked her basing
his decision on religious grounds. This is why the Prophet (PBUH) ordered Ibn `Umar to obey his father.

Abud-Darda' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: A man came to me and said, "I have a wife whom my
mother commands me to divorce". I replied him that I had heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying,
"A parent is
the best of the gates of Jannah; so if you wish, keep to the gate, or lose it.''
[At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah].
Commentary:
The word "Walid,'' applies to mother as well as father. As the word
"Walidain''
is a dual form and
covers mother and father both; similarly the noun
"father''
, also applies to both. This Hadith also stresses that
obedience of parents and submission to their order must have preference over the love for the wife as long as this
order of theirs is fair and just.
