Hadith 1:Deeds are by intentions
Omar ibn Al-Khattab reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Verily, deeds are only with intentions. Verily, every person will have only what they intended. Whoever emigrated to Allah and His Messenger, then his emigration is for Allah and His Messenger. Whoever emigrated to get something in the world or to marry a woman, then his emigration is for whatever he emigrated for.

Hadith 2:Islam, faith, and excellence
Umar ibn Al-Khattab reported: We were sitting with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, one day when a man appeared with very white clothes and very black hair. There were no signs of travel on him and we did not recognize him. He sat down in front of the Prophet and rested his knees by his knees and placed his hands on his thighs. The man said, “O Muhammad, tell me about Islam.” The Prophet said:
Islam is to witness that there is no God but Allah and Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah, to establish prayer, to give the alms, the fast the month of Ramadan, and to perform pilgrimage to the House if he is capable of travel.
The man said, “You have spoken truthfully.” We were surprised that he asked him and then said he was truthful. He said, “Tell me about faith.” The Prophet said:
Faith is to believe in Allah, His angels, His books, His messengers, the Last Day, and to believe in providence, both its good and its evil.
The man said, “You have spoken truthfully. Tell me about excellence.” The Prophet said:
The man said, “Tell me about the final hour.” The Prophet said:
The man said, “Tell me about its signs.” The Prophet said:
Then the man left and I remained. The Prophet said to me:
I said, “Allah and His messenger know best.” The Prophet said:

Excellence is to worship Allah as if you see Him, for you do not see Him but He certainly sees you.
The man said, “Tell me about the final hour.” The Prophet said:
The one asked does not know more than the one asking.
The man said, “Tell me about its signs.” The Prophet said:
The servant girl will give birth to her mistress and you will see barefoot, naked, and destitute shepherds compete in constructing tall buildings.
Then the man left and I remained. The Prophet said to me:
O Umar, do you know who he was?
I said, “Allah and His messenger know best.” The Prophet said:
Verily, he was Gabriel who came to teach you your religion.

Hadith 3:Pillars of Islam
Ibn Umar reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Hadith 4:ProvidenceIslam is built upon five: to worship Allah and to disbelieve in what is worshiped besides him, to establish prayer, to give charity, to perform Hajj pilgrimage to the House, and to fast the month of Ramadan.
Abdullah ibn Masud reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 7016, Grade:Verily, the creation of each one of you is brought together in his mother’s womb for forty days as a drop, then he is a clot for a similar period, then a morsel for a similar period, then there is sent to him the angel who blows the spirit into him and he is commanded regarding four matters: to write down his provision, his life span, his deeds, and whether he is blessed or damned. By Allah other than whom there is no God, one of you acts like the people of Paradise until he is but an arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like the people of Hellfire and he enters it. Verily, one of you acts like the people of Hellfire until he is but an arm’s length from it, and what is written overtakes him so he acts like the people of Paradise and he enters it.

Hadith 6:Lawful and unlawful are clear
Al-Nu’man ibn Bashir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Verily, the lawful is clear and the unlawful is clear, and between the two of them are doubtful matters about which many people do not know. Thus, he who avoids doubtful matters clears himself in regard to his religion and his honor, and he who falls into doubtful matters will fall into the unlawful as the shepherd who pastures near a sanctuary, all but grazing therein. Verily, every king has a sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is his prohibitions. Verily, in the body there is a piece of flesh which if upright then the entire body is upright, and if corrupt then the entire body is corrupt. No doubt it is the heart.Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 52, Grade:
In another narration, the Prophet said:
Make between yourself and the unlawful a barrier of what is lawful. Whoever does so will clear himself in regard to his honor and his religion. A shepherd who grazes near the side of a sanctum will nearly fall into it. Verily, every king has a sanctum and the sanctum of Allah is his prohibitions.Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Ibn Ḥibbān 5685, Grade:

Hadith 8:Jihād in the way of Allah
Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
I have been commanded to fight the people until they say there is no God but Allah. If they say there is no God but Allah, then they will be granted protection from me for their lives and property, except by right of justice, and their reckoning is with Allah.Then, the Prophet recited the verse:Verily, you are only a reminder. You are not over them as a dictator.
Ibn Taymiyah comments on this tradition, writing:
The meaning of this tradition is to fight those who are waging war, whom Allah has called us to fight. It does not mean to fight those who have made peace, with whom Allah has commanded us to fulfill their peace.
Source: Majmū’ al-Fatāwá 19/20
And Ibn Rajab writes:The meaning is that your duty is only to remind them about Allah and to preach to them. You do not have authority to insert faith into their hearts by force; you are not responsible for that.Source: Jāmi’ al-‘Ulūm wal-Ḥikam 1/236
Hadith 9: Responsibility within one’s capacity
Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Avoid what I have forbidden for you and do what I have commanded you as much as you are able. Verily, the people before you were destroyed only because of their excessive questioning and differing with their prophets.Source: Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 6858, Grade:

Hadith 10:Restriction to what is lawful and wholesome

O people, Allah is pure and He accepts only what is pure. Verily, Allah has commanded the believers as He commanded His messengers. Allah said: O messengers, eat from good things and act righteously, for I know what you do. And Allah said: O you who believe, eat from good things We have provided for you.Abu Huraira added:
Then, the Prophet mentioned a man who traveled far, becoming disheveled and dusty and he raises his hands to the sky, saying, “O Lord! O Lord!” while his food is unlawful, his drink is unlawful, his clothing is unlawful, and he is nourished by the unlawful, so how can he be answered?
