Jabir reported: Some people returned to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, from an expedition.

Ibn Taymiyyah: Jihad against the soul is the foundation for all other types of Jihad

Ibn Al-Qayyim reported: Our Sheikh, Ibn Taymiyyah, said, “Jihad against the soul and desires is the foundation of Jihad against the disbelievers and hypocrites. Indeed, it is not possible to strive against them until one strives against himself and his desires; then he can go out against them.”

[Ibn Al-Qayyim, Rawdah Al-Muhibbeen]

قال ابن القيم شيخنا يقول جهاد النفس والهوى أصل جهاد الكفار والمنافقين فإنه لا يقدر على جهادهم حتى يجاهد نفسه وهواه أولا حتى يخرج إليهم

Hadith on Purification: Purity is half of Faith, Prayer is Light, Charity is Proof, and Patience is Illumination

Abu Malik al-Ash’ari reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said, “Purity is half of Faith and al-Hamdu Liliah (praise be to Allah) fills the scale, and Subhan Allah (glory be to Allah) and al-Hamdu Liliah fill up what is between the heavens and the earth, and prayer is a light, and charity is proof (of sincere faith), and patience is illumination, and the Qur’an is a proof for you or against you. All people go out early in the morning and sell themselves, either setting themselves free or destroying themselves.”

Hadith on Muhammad: Gabriel opened the heart of the Prophet and removed Satan from him

Anas ibn Malik reported: Gabriel came to the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, (when he was a child) playing with his friends. He took hold of him and paid him on the ground, then he tore open his chest, took out his heart and extracted a blood clot from it. Gabriel said, “This was the measure of Satan inside you.” Then he washed the heart with Zamzam water in a golden vessel and it was joined together and restored. The boys came running to his mother and said, “Indeed, Muhammad has been murdered!” They rushed to him (and found that he was alive) and his color changed. Anas said, “I myself saw the marks of the needle on his chest.”
