IKHLAS 541 Belief in Yhe Rewards on Deeds

The objective is that a person should do every deed with the quality of Iman and ehtisab, that is while doing the deed he must have belief in the promises of Allah and be conscious of its rewards.

26. Abu Hurairah (RadiyAllaahu ‘anhu) narrates that Rasulullah (SallAllaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: If anyone attends the funeral of a Muslim with the belief in His promises, and hoping for His rewards and stays till the prayer is offered and the burial is completed he will get the reward of two Qirats, each Qirat being equivalent to ‘Uhud; and if anyone prays over the dead and returns before the burial he will come back with one Qirat. (Bukhari)

(Ma’ariful Hadith)

27. Abu Darda’ (RadiyAllaahu ‘anhu) reports: I heard Abul Qasim (RasulUllaah) (SallAllaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) narrating in a Hadith Qudsi that verily Allah has said: O ‘Isa! I will

(Muslim)

384. Jabir (RadiyAllaahu ‘anhu) narrates that RasuulUllaah (SallAllaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said: He who cultivates a barren land, has a reward thereby. (Ibne-Hibban)

385. Qasim RahimahUllaah ‘narrates that a man passed by Abu Darda’ (RadiyAllaahu ‘anhu) when he was planting a tree in Damascus and said to Abu Darda’ (RadiyAllaahu ‘anhu): Are you doing this work, though you are a Sahaabi of RasuulUllaah (SallAllaahu ‘alaihi wasallam)? He said: Do not hasten to blame me; I heard
