Weak ones

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."

Merciful

The Prophet narrated about his Lord Most Exalted and then said, "Allah
ordered (the appointed Angels over you) that the good and the bad
deeds be written, and He then showed them (the way) how (to write).

If somebody intends to do a good deed and he does not do it, then
Allah will write for him a full good deed (in his account with Him);
and if he intends to do a good deed and actually did it, then Allah
will write for him (in his account) with Him (its reward equal) from
ten to seven hundred times to many more times! And if somebody
intended to do a bad deed and he does not do it, then Allah will write
a full good deed (in his account) with Him, and if he intended to do
it (a bad deed) and actually did it, then Allah will write one bad
deed (in his account)."

Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 8.498 Narrated by Ibn Abbas

Anas heard the Prophet (saws) say: 'Allah, the Exalted, has Said: "O
son of Adam! Certainly I shall continue to pardon thee so long as thou
supplicates Me and hopes (for My forgiveness), whatever may be thy
faults and sins, I don't care. O son of Adam, even if thy sins pile up
as high as the sky, and thou asks for My forgiveness, I will forgive
thee. O son of Adam, if thou comes to Me with an earthful of defaults
and meets Me, not associating anything with Me, I will come to thee,
with an earthful of forgiveness!"

Sins

A man asked Ibn 'Umar, "What did you hear Allah's Messenger (saws)
saying regarding the 'An-Najwa' (secret talk between Allah and His
believing worshipper on the Day of Judgment)?"

He said, "(The Prophet (saws) said), 'One of you will come close to
his Lord till He will shelter him in His screen and Say: 'Did you
commit such-and-such sin?'

The slave will say: 'Yes.' Then Allah will Say: 'Did you commit such
and such sin?' The salve will say: 'Yes'.

So Allah will make him confess (all his sins, one by one..) and then
the Lord will Say: 'I screened them (did not expose your sins) for you
in the world, and Today I forgive them all for you!' "

Amulet (Taaweedh)

Uqbah ibn 'Amir narrates that the Prophet (Blessings and peace be upon
him) said: "If anyone wears an amulet (taaweedh), may Allah not help
him in fulfilling his wish. If anyone wears a sea-shell around his
neck, may Allah give him no peace."
