BARTERING FOR ONE'S SOUL

1046

“Cleanliness is equal to half the faith .Saying, 'All praise is due to Allah' fills the scales with good deeds. When 'Exalted is Allah' is said, it suffices to fill the void between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is light, charity is proof of faith. Patience is also light and the Koran either intercedes for you or is against you. Each morning, everyone starts bartering and one's soul is the stake it is either ransomed or ruined.’"

Muslim with a chain up to Abu Malik Ash'ari who related that the Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, said this.
