I was thinking it would be nice and good to have a thread of some of the most used "A7adith's" (Prophet's Sayings :PBUH:) in the forum.

What are the most sayings that you remind yourself with and keep them in your mind?

The most one I use is:
قال النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام‏:‏ ‏(‏ليس الشديد بالصرعة، وإنما الشديد الذي يملك نفسه عند الغضب)
(It is not who is strong in a fight, the strong is who holds himself in anger)


What about you all?

P.S: please correct me if I am wrong since I am not so good in translating...‏

Great idea Squinty,

for me the hadith i love most is one of the qudsi hadiths**

عن ابي هريرة ، رضي الله عنه ، قال : قال النبي ، صلى الله عليه وسلم :
(( يقول الله تعالي : أنا عند ظن عبدي بي ، وأنا معه إذا ذكرني ، فإن ذكرني فى نفسه ، ذكرته فىنفسي . وان ذكرني في نفسه ، ذكرته فى ملأ خير منهم ، وان تقرب الى بشبر تقربت اليه ذراعا ، وان تقرب الى ذراعا تقربت اليه باعا ، وان أتاني يمشي ، اتيته هرولة )) .
رواه البخاري ( وكذلك مسلم والترمذى وابن ماجه )

On the authority of Abu Harayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: Allah the Almighty said:
I am as My servant thinks I am (1). I am with him when he makes mention of Me. If he makes mention of Me to himself, I make mention of him to Myself; and if he makes mention of Me in an assembly, I make mention of him in an assemble better than it. And if he draws near to Me an arm's length, I draw near to him a fathom's length. And if he comes to Me walking, I go to him at speed.

(1) Another possible rendering of the Arabic is: "I am as My servant expects Me to be". The meaning is that forgiveness and acceptance of repentance by the Almighty is subject to His servant truly believing that He is forgiving and merciful. However, not to accompany such belief with right action would be to mock the Almighty.

It was related by al-Buhkari (also by Muslim, at-Tirmidhi and Ibn-Majah).

**Hadith Qudsi are the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) as revealed to him by the Almighty Allah. Hadith Qudsi (or Sacred Hadith) are so named because, unlike the majority of Hadith which are Prophetic Hadith, their authority (Sanad) is traced back not to the Prophet but to the Almighty.
