Choose any two of the following Hadiths, and: (i) الدِّينُ النَّصِيحَةُ قُلْنَا: لِمَنْ؟ قَالَ: لِلهِ وَلَكِتَابِهِ، وَلرَسُولِهِ، وَلأَئِمَّةِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَعَامَّتِهِمْ. (i) 'Religion is sincerity'. We said: ‘To whom?' The Prophet said: ‘To Allah, His Book, His Messenger, the leaders of the Muslims and to their common people.' (ii) الدُّنْيَا سِجْنُ الْمُؤْمِنِ وَجَنَّهُ الكَافِرِ. (ii) The world is the believer's prison and the unbeliever's paradise. (iii) Modesty produces nothing but good. (iii) الحَيَاءُ لَا يُأْتِي إِلَّا بِخَيرٍ. (iv) بَعَثَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَبَا مُوسَى وَمُعَادُ بْنَ جَبَلٍ إِلَى الْيَمَنِ، وَبَعَثَ كُلَّ وَاحِدٍ مِّنْهُمَا عَلى مِخْلافٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ: يَسِّرًا وَلاَ تُعَسّرًا وَبَشِّرًا وَلَا تُنَفَّرًا. (iv) The Messenger of Allah (May Allah bless him and give him peace) sent Abu Musa and Mu'adh Ibn Jabal to Yaman, and he sent each of them to govern a part. Then he said: ‘Be gentle and do not be hard, and cause rejoicing and do not alienate.'
