Tolerance and Sadaqah

Tolerance

Once the Prophet (s.a.w.s) was seated at some place in Madina, along with his Companions. During this time a funeral procession passed by. On seeing this, the Prophet (s.a.w.s) stood up. One of his companions remarked that the funeral was that of a Jew. The Prophet replied, “Was he not a human being?”
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim, Sunan An-Nasai)
                                                                                                    

  A disbelieving Bedouin urinated in the mosque, and the people rushed to beat him. Allah’s Apostle told them to leave him alone, let him finish and pour water over the place where he has passed urine.
The Prophet then explained to the Bedouin calmly, “This is a place of worship, in it is the worship of God and the reading of Qur’an.” After the Bedouin had left, the Prophet then said to his companions, ” You have been sent to make things easy (for the people) and you have not been sent to make things difficult for them.”
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

                                                                                            Equality 

The Prophet said: ‘There is no superiority for an Arab over a non-Arab, nor for a non-Arab over an Arab, nor for a fair-skinned person over a person with dark skin, nor for a dark-skinned person over a person with fair skin. Whoever is more pious and God-fearing is more deserving of honour.’ (Musnad Ahmad)

                                                                                          Gratitude 

The Prophet said: ‘Contemplate those who have less than you and not those who have more than you, lest you belittle the favors of Allah conferred upon you’. (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

                                                                                            Simplicity 

The Prophet said: ‘What is little but sufficient is better than that which is abundant but causes heedlessness. ‘ (Sahih Ibn Hibban)
                                                                                             Humility 

The Prophet said: ‘God has revealed to me that you must be humble, so that no one oppresses another and boasts over another.’ (Sahih Muslim, Sunan Abi Dawud)

                                                                                        Generosity 

 The Prophet said: ‘The food of two people is enough for three, and the food of three people is enough for four.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

                                                                                     Appreciation 

 The Prophet said: ‘Whoever does not thank people (for their favours) has not thanked Allah (properly), Mighty and Glorious is He!’ (Musnad Ahmad, Sunan At-Tirmidhi)

                                                                                             Calmness 

 The Prophet said: ‘Calmness and determination is from Allah and haste is from Satan.’
(Sunan At-Tirmidhî)

                                                                                                Patience 

 The Prophet said: ‘No one can give a better or more abundant gift than patience.’
(Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

                                                                                       Perseverance 

The Prophet said: ‘There is no clement person who has not stumbled, nor is there no wise person who possesses no experience.’
(Sunan At-Tirmidhi, Mustadarak Al-Hakim)

                                                                                  Non-judgemental 

The Prophet said: ‘Do not search for (the faults of others), for if anyone searches for (others) faults, God will search for his.’
(Sunan Abi Dawud)

                                                                                                 Selfcritical 

The Prophet said: ‘ Blessed is he who preoccupies himself with his own defects, rather than those of others.’ (Musnad Al-Bazzar)
                                                                                                                         

          Advice 

The Prophet said: ‘Make things easy (for people) and do not make them difficult, and cheer people up and do not drive them away.’ (Sahih Bukhari, Sahih Muslim)

                        Moderation 

The Prophet said: ‘The religion (of Islam) is easy. No one ever made it difficult without it becoming too much for him. So avoid extremes and strike a balance, do the best you can and be cheerful, and seek Allah’s help (through prayer) in the morning, and evening, and part of the night.
