2. The bond of brotherhood in Islam is much stronger than the bonds of blood relationship and worldly interests and,
therefore, comes before them in preference.
3. Whoever loves someone for Allah's sake, Allah will love him in a manner that suits His Majesty.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying,
"Whosoever visits an ailing person or a brother of his to seek the Pleasure of Allah, an announcer (angel) calls out:
`May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you be awarded a dignified position in Jannah".
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary:
This Hadith highlights the merit of visiting the sick and Muslim to gain the Pleasure of Allah.

Abu Musa Al-Ash`ari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (PBUH) saying,
"The
similitude of good company and that of bad company is that of the owner of musk and of the one blowing the
bellows. The owner of musk would either offer you some free of charge, or you would buy it from him, or you smell
its pleasant fragrance; and as for the one who blows the bellows (i.e., the blacksmith), he either burns your clothes or
you smell a repugnant smell".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
This Hadith enjoins that one should sit in the company of the pious persons and avoid the impious
ones because the former has the quality of a perfume seller and the latter of a blacksmith. In the association of pious
men, one stands to gain all the time and ultimately becomes like them. In bad company one is out-and-out a loser
and can never hope to gain any benefit from them.

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said,
"A woman is married for
four things: for her wealth, for her lineage, for her beauty or for her piety. Select the pious, may you be blessed!".
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary:
Only a pious woman is in the true sense faithful and obedient to her husband of good conduct. Such
a couple not only lead a happy life but its future generation is also brought up on the right lines with the help of such
a woman. The women of the remaining three types are generally a source of trouble for their husbands and spoil
their future generations. For this reason, while selecting a wife, one should give preference to religion over all other
qualities.

Ibn `Abbas (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said to Jibril (Gabriel),
"What
prevents you from visiting us more frequently?''
Thereupon was revealed the Ayah: "
(The angels say:) `And we
(angels) descend not except by the Command of your Rubb. To Him belongs what is before us and what is behind
us, and what is between those two".
(19:64)
[Al-Bukhari].
Commentary:
This Hadith tells us about the Prophet's desire for meeting angel Jibril
(Gabriel)
to have that
knowledge which was revealed to him by means of Wahy
(Revelation).
