يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوا۟ ٱتَّقُوا۟ ٱللَّهَ وَٱبْتَغُوٓا۟ إِلَيْهِ ٱلْوَسِيلَةَ وَجَـٰهِدُوا۟ فِى سَبِيلِهِۦ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ

Ya ayyuha allatheena amanooittaqoo Allaha wabtaghoo ilayhi alwaseelata wajahidoofee sabeelihi laAAallakum tuflihoon

O you who have believed, fear Allāh and seek the means [of nearness] to Him and strive in His cause that you may succeed.

Today's hadith · justice

Sahih al-Bukhari 10, Sahih Muslim 40

Safe from your tongue and hand

الْمُسْلِمُ مَنْ سَلِمَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ مِنْ لِسَانِهِ وَيَدِهِ، وَالْمُهَاجِرُ مَنْ هَجَرَ مَا نَهَى اللَّهُ عَنْهُ

Al-muslimu man salima-l-muslimuna min lisanihi wa yadih, wa-l-muhajiru man hajara ma naha-llahu 'anh.

The Muslim is the one from whose tongue and hand the Muslims are safe, and the emigrant is the one who leaves what Allah has forbidden.
