“ Then the Apostle of God said, "What, O ʿOmar, incited thee to act as thou didst?" He replied, "O Apostle of God, by my father and my mother, didst thou send Abú Hurairah with thy shoes to inform whomsoever he met, and that bare witness from the heart that there is no God but Alláh, that he should give him good tidings of heaven?" He said, "Yes." ʿOmar said, "Then do not do so; for I fear that men will depend upon this alone. Therefore leave them alone to perform their works." Then the Apostle of God said, "Leave them alone."'—Muslim. ”

“ The Apostle of God said, "When the life of Adam was completed except forty years, the angel of death came to him. And Adam said, 'Are there not yet forty years of my life remaining?' He replied, 'Didst thou not give them to thy son David?' Then Adam denied, and his descendants have denied, and Adam forgot and ate of the tree, and his descendants have forgotten, and Adam sinned, and his descendants have sinned."'—At Tirmidhí. ”

“ It is related from Abú Mása Al-Ashaʿri that, 'The Apostle of God said, "There are three classes of people who will obtain a double reward: the man of the people of the Book who believes in his own prophet and in Muḥammad; the slave when he does his duty both to God and his masters; and the man who possesses a female slave and, after having connection with her, teaches her good manners and improves them, and gives her instruction and betters it, and then emancipates and marries her."'—Muslim, Al Bukhárí. ”
