Take benefit of five before five

Take benefit of five before five:

Your youth before your old age,

Your health before your sickness,

Your wealth before your poverty,

Your free-time before your preoccupation and

Your life before your death.

[Prophet Muhammad sallallaahu 'alayhi wa sallam - Al-Haakim,
Al-Baihaqee: Saheeh]

Curse parents

"It is one of the greatest sins that one should curse his parents."

It was asked (by the people), "O Messenger of Allah (blessings and
peace be upon him) ! How does one curse his parents?"

The Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) said, "It happens whom
one abuses the father of another, and the latter abuses the father and
mother of the former."

Stop evil

Narrated by Abu Sa'id al-Khudri: I heard the Messenger of Allah
(blessings and peace be upon him) as saying: 'He who amongst you sees
something abominable should modify it with the help of his hand; and
if he has not strength enough to do that, then he should do it with
his tongue; and if he has not strength enough to do even that, then he
should (at least abhor it) from his heart; and that is the least of
faith

Rib

The Prophet (blessings and peace be upon him) said, "Whoever believes
in Allah and the Last Day should not hurt (trouble) his neighbor. And
I advise you to take care of the women, for they are created from a
rib and the most crooked portion of the rib is its upper part; if you
try to straighten it, it will break, and if you leave it, it will
remain crooked, so I urge you to take care of the women."
