عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «من أَخذ عَنِّي هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ فَيَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ أَوْ يُعَلِّمُ مَنْ يَعْمَلُ بِهِنَّ؟» قُلْتُ: أَنَا يَا رَسُولَ الله فَأخذ بيَدي فَعَدَّ خَمْسًا فَقَالَ: «اتَّقِ الْمَحَارِمَ تَكُنْ أَعْبَدَ النَّاسِ وَارْضَ بِمَا قَسَمَ اللَّهُ لَكَ تَكُنْ أَغْنَى النَّاسِ وَأَحْسِنْ إِلَى جَارِكَ تَكُنْ مُؤْمِنًا وَأَحِبَّ لِلنَّاسِ مَا تُحِبُّ لِنَفْسِكَ تَكُنْ مُسْلِمًا وَلَا تُكْثِرِ الضَّحِكَ فَإِنَّ كَثْرَةَ الضَّحِكَ تُمِيتُ الْقَلْبَ» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالتِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ
AbuHurayrah Narrated from:
Allah's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم asked, "Who will learn from me these words and act upon them, or teach (them) to one who will act upon them?" He (Abu Hurayrah) رضي الله عنه submitted, "I, O Messenger of Allah!" So, he took him by his hand and, counting five, said,"(1)Guard against the things that are for bidden. You will be the most devout of men.(2)BE pleased with what Allah has allotted you, you will be the richest of men.(3)BE kind to your neighbour (even if he is bad to you), you will be a (perfect) believer.(4)Love for people what you love for yourself, (of the good of this world and the next), you will be (counted as) a (perfect) Muslim.And, (5) Do not laugh much laughter causes the heart to die (and causes neglect of remembrance of Allah)."
