The Messenger of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) said: Cleanliness is half of faith and Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and SubhanAllah (Glory be to Allah) and Alhamdulillah (Praise be to Allah) fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of one's faith) and endurance is a brightness and the Qur'an is a proof on your behalf or against you.

We said: Messenger of Allah, tell us if it is good and if it is otherwise, Allah and His Apostle (peace_be_upon_him) know better.

Verily I shall prevent the (faithless) people therefrom just as a man prevents the camels of the people from his fountain. They said: Messenger of Allah, will you recognise us on that day?

They said: Messenger of Allah, how would you recognize those persons of your Ummah who have not yet been born? He said: Supposing a man had horses with white blazes on their foreheads, and white socks among horses which were all black, tell me, would he not recognize his own horses? They said: Certainly, Messenger of Allah. He said: They will come with white faces, arms and legs, owing to ablution, and I shall arrive at the Cistern before them.
