عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " خَلَقَ اللَّهُ آدَمَ على صورته طوله ذِرَاعًا فَلَمَّا خَلَقَهُ قَالَ اذْهَبْ فَسَلِّمْ عَلَى أُولَئِكَ النَّفَرِ وَهُمْ نَفَرٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ جُلُوسٌ فَاسْتَمِعْ مَا يُحَيُّونَكَ فَإِنَّهَا تَحِيَّتُكَ وَتَحِيَّةُ ذُرِّيَّتِكَ فَذَهَبَ فَقَالَ: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ فَقَالُوا: السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكَ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ " قَالَ: «فَزَادُوهُ وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ» . قَالَ: «فَكُلُّ مَنْ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ عَلَى صُورَةِ آدَمَ وَطُولُهُ سِتُّونَ ذِرَاعًا فَلَمْ يَزَلِ الْخَلْقُ يَنْقُصُ بعدَه حَتَّى الْآن»
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Allah created Aadam عليه السلام in His form and a height of sixty cubits. So, when He created him, He said, 'Go and offer salaam to that company and pay heed to the response they offer, for, that is going to be the salaam for you and for your offspring! As also the response to the salaam.' So, he went (to them) and said, 'as-Salaam u Alaykum' (peace be on you all). They responded 'as-salaam u alayka wa rahmatullahi,' having added in the response wa rahmatullahi (and Allah's mercy)."He (the Prophet) صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "Thus, all who enter paradise will have the form of Aadam عليه السلام with a height of sixty cubits. But, the creatures have continued to diminish (in height) after him till now (at the current height)." [1]

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو: أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ: أَيُّ الْإِسْلَامِ خَيْرٌ؟ قَالَ: «تُطْعِمُ الطَّعَامَ وَتَقْرَأُ السَّلَامَ عَلَى مَنْ عَرَفْتَ وَمَنْ لم تعرف»
A man asked Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم, "which characteristic of Islam is best?" He said, "You should feed food and should greet not only those you know but also those whom you do not know." [1]

و(لم تتمّ دراسته) عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: " لِلْمُؤْمِنِ عَلَى الْمُؤْمِنِ سِتُّ خِصَالٍ: يَعُودُهُ إِذَا مَرِضَ وَيَشْهَدُهُ إِذَا مَاتَ وَيُجِيبُهُ إِذَا دَعَاهُ وَيُسَلِّمُ عَلَيْهِ إِذَا لَقِيَهُ وَيُشَمِّتُهُ إِذَا عَطَسَ وَيَنْصَحُ لَهُ إِذَا غَابَ أَوْ شَهِدَ «لَمْ أَجِدْهُ» فِي الصَّحِيحَيْنِ «وَلَا فِي كِتَابِ الْحُمَيْدِيِّ وَلَكِنْ ذَكَرَهُ صَاحِبُ» الْجَامِع " بِرِوَايَة النَّسَائِيّ
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A believer must have six characteristics for another believer.(i) He should visit him when he is sick.(ii) He should participate in his funeral salah (prayer) when he dies.(iii) He should accept his invitation when he extends it to him.(iv) He should offer him salaam when he meet him.(v) He should pray (يرحمك الله) Allah have mercy on you) when he sneezes (and praises (الحمد لله) – Praise belongs to Allah).(vi) He should be well – wishing towards him whether he is absent or present." [2]I have been unable to trace this hadith in the two sahih Books and in Al-Humaydi's Book. But, the compiler of Al-Jami has mentioned it as the version of Nasa'i.

Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "you shall not enter paradise until you believe, and you shall not be perfect in belief unless you love each other.
