Hadith on Ramadan: Virtues of living a long life full of prayer and good deeds in Ramadan

Abu Huraira reported: There were two men from the tribe of Quda’ah who embraced Islam with the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. One of them was martyred and the other lived for another year. Talha said: I had a dream of Paradise and I saw the one who lived longer enter Paradise before the martyr. I was amazed by that and when I woke up I mentioned it to the Messenger of Allah. The Messenger of Allah said, “Did he not fast the month of Ramadan after him and he performed six thousand or more bowings of prayer in the year?”

Hadith on Girls: The religion of Abraham guided Zaid ibn Amr to protect the lives of young girls

Asma bint Abu Bakr reported: I saw Zaid ibn Amr ibn Nufail standing with his back against the Ka’bah and he was saying, “O people of Quraish, none of you are upon the religion of Abraham except me.” He would preserve the lives of young girls. If someone wanted to kill his daughter, he would say to him, “Do not kill her, for I will feed her on your behalf.” So he would take care of her and when she grew up, he would say to her father, “Now if you want her, I will give her to you; but if you wish, I will feed her on your behalf.”
[Sahih Bukhari, Book 58, Number 169]

عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ زَيْدَ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ قَائِمًا مُسْنِدًا ظَهْرَهُ إِلَى الْكَعْبَةِ يَقُولُ يَا مَعَاشِرَ قُرَيْشٍ وَاللَّهِ مَا مِنْكُمْ عَلَى دِينِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ غَيْرِي وَكَانَ يُحْيِي الْمَوْءُودَةَ يَقُولُ لِلرَّجُلِ إِذَا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَقْتُلَ ابْنَتَهُ لَا تَقْتُلْهَا أَنَا أَكْفِيكَهَا مَئُونَتَهَا فَيَأْخُذُهَا فَإِذَا تَرَعْرَعَتْ قَالَ لِأَبِيهَا إِنْ شِئْتَ دَفَعْتُهَا إِلَيْكَ وَإِنْ شِئْتَ كَفَيْتُكَ مَئُونَتَهَا
