Fragrance shall emanate from speech
1. Goodness lies in these acts
Sayyiduna Abu Darda رَضِیَ اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَنْہُ said, ‘Goodness does not lie in getting wealth and children in abundance but rather goodness lies in your patience being increased, knowledge progresses and you excel others in worshipping Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’ (Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah, vol. 8, pp. 167, Hadees 6)
2. Reward of 2 Rak’at Nafl Salah
Sayyiduna Ka’b-ul-Ahbaar رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ said, ‘If you knew the reward of 2 Rak’at Nafl, you would consider it bigger than the mighty mountains whereas the reward of Fard Salah is so much in the sight of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ that no one can describe it.’ (Hilya-tul-Awliya, vol. 5, pp. 421, Raqm 7596)
3. Consequences of false oath
Sayyiduna Khuwajah Ghareeb Nawaz رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ said, ‘One who swears a false oath desolates his house, and blessings and goodness go away from his house.’ (Hasht Bihisht, pp. 84)
4. Deeds with great status
Sayyiduna Khuwajah Ghareeb Nawaz رَحْمَۃُ اللہِ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ said, ‘The blessed acts [such as] listening to the ‘cry for help’ of distressed people and supporting them, fulfilling the needs of the needy, feeding the hungry [and] making efforts to have the prisoners released have great status in the sight of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ.’
(Mu’een-ul-Hind Hazrat Khuwajah Mu’eenuddin Ajmayri, pp. 124)

1. How is it to eat food with a leper?
One who eats food with a leper (leprosy patient) with the intention of showing humbleness, having absolute trust in Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and following blessed Sunnah, will attain reward.
(Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 21, pp. 102)
2. It is better to recite Wazaaif in the state of Wudu
The Wazaaif (invocations) which are mentioned in blessed Ahadees or those which are recommended by blessed Mashaaikh (pious predecessors) as Zikr of Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ can be recited without being in the state of Wudu and it is better to recite in the state of Wudu. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 23, pp. 399)
3. What is meant by Ibahat-e-Asliyyah?
Anything which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and His Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ have declared to be good is good and anything which Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ have declared to be bad is bad, and if Allah عَزَّوَجَلَّ and the Beloved Rasool صَلَّی اللہُ تَعَالٰی عَلَیْہِ وَاٰلِہٖ وَسَلَّمَ have mentioned nothing i.e., Shari’ah neither declares something to be good nor bad, then its state of ‘Ibahat-e-Asliyyah’ [اِباحَتِ اَصلِیَّہ] still exists as there is neither [any] reward nor punishment in doing or leaving it. (Fatawa Razawiyyah, vol. 23, pp. 320)
