Marriage

Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said:

"O young people! Whoever among you can marry, should marry, because it
helps him lower his gaze and guard his modesty, and whoever is not
able to marry, should fast, as fasting diminishes his sexual power."

Did you wrong anyone?

The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "Whoever has wronged his brother, should ask for his pardon (before his death), as (in the Hereafter) there will be neither a Dinar nor a Dirham. (He should secure pardon in this life) before some of his good deeds are taken and paid to his brother, or, if he has done no good deeds, some of the bad deeds of his brother are taken to be loaded on him (in the Hereafter)."

Least faith

'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

I record one good deed for him, but if he puts it into practice, I make an entry of ten good acts in his favour.
