Shaitaan sticks to the heart of the child of Adam. When he does Zikr of Allah, he (Shaitaan) runs away from him. And when the child of Adam becomes careless from the Zikr of Allah, the Shaitan begins to put was-wasah (evil suggestion​s) into his heart.” [Bukhari]

Narrated Anas bin Malik: In the life-time of Allah’s Apostle (p.b.u.h) the people were afflicted with a (famine) year. While the Prophet was delivering the Khutba (sermon) on the pulpit on a Friday, a Bedouin stood up and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The livestock are dying and the families (offspring) are hungry: please pray to Allah to bless us with rain.” Allah’s Apostle raised both his hands towards the sky and at that time there was not a trace of cloud in they sky. Then the clouds started gathering like mountains. Before he got down from the pulpit I saw rain-water trickling down his beard. It rained that day, the next day, the third day, the fourth day and till the next Friday, when the same Bedouin or some other person stood up (during the Friday Khutba) and said, “O Allah’s Apostle! The houses have collapsed and the livestock are drowned. Please invoke Allah for us.” So Allah’s Apostle raised both his hands and said, “O Allah! Around us and not on us.” Whichever side the Prophet directed his hand, the clouds dispersed from there till a hole (in the clouds) was formed over Medina. The valley of Qanat remained flowing (with water) for one month and none, came from outside who didn’t talk about the abundant rain. [-] [Bukhari 017:143]

There is a polish for everything that takes away rust; and the polish for the heart is the remembrance of Allah.” (Bukhari)

The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:
‘The days of al-Tashreeq (11th, 12th and 13th of Dhul Hijjah) are the days of eating, drinking and remembering Allah’
[Muslim]

“Fasting the Day of ʿArafah [9th of Dhul-Ḥijjah] is an expiation for [all the sins of] the previous year and an expiation for [all the sins of] the coming year.”

Abu Qatada (Allah be pleased with him) related that the Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace be upon him, his family, and companions) said, “Fasting the Day of `Arafah [9th of Dhu’l Hijjah] expiates for two years, one prior and one forthcoming. And fasting the Day of ` Ashura [10th of Muharram] expiates for the past year.”[Reported by Muslim, Abu Dawud, Nasa’i, and Ibn Majah]

Narrated Abu Mas’ud: The Prophet(peace be upon him) said, “If a man spends on his family (with the intention of having a reward from Allah) sincerely for Allah’s sake then it is a (kind of) alms-giving in reward for him {Bukhari}
