Choose any two of the following Hadiths, and: (i) قِيْلَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ أَيُّ النَّاسِ أَفضَلُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيهِ وَسَلَّمَ): مُؤْمِنٌ يُجَاهِدُ في سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ بِنَفْسِهِ وَمَالِهِ. It was said: O Messenger of Allah, who is the most excellent of men? The Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless and give him peace) said: ‘The believer who strives hard in the way of Allah with his person and his property.' (ii) مَا أَكَلَ أَحَدٌ طَعَاماً قطُّ خَيْراً مِّنْ أَنْ يَأْكُلَ مِنْ عَمَلٍ يَدِهِ. No one eats better food than that which he eats out of the work of his hand. (iii) إِنما مَثَلُ صَاحِبِ القُرآن كَمَثَلِ صَاحِبِ الإبل المُعَقَّلَةِ : إِنْ عَاهَدَ عَلَيْها أَمْسَكَهَا، وَإِنْ أَطلَّقَهَا ذهَبَت. He who studies the Qur'an is like the owner of tethered camels. If he attends to them he will keep hold of them, but if he lets them loose they will go away. (iv) أَنَّ رَجُلًا سَأَلَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ) فَقَالَ : أرأيت إذا صَلَّيْتُ الْمَكْتُوبَاتِ، وَصُمْتُ رَمَضَانَ، وَأَحْلَلْتُ الْحَلالَ ، وَحَرَّمْتُ الحَرَامَ، وَلَمْ أَزِدْ عَلى ذلِكَ شَيْئاً ، أَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةِ؟ قَالَ: نَعَمْ. A man asked the Messenger of Allah (may Allah bless and give him peace): Do you think that if I perform the obligatory prayers, fast in Ramadan, treat as lawful that which is lawful and treat as forbidden that which is forbidden, and do nothing further, I shall enter paradise? He said: Yes.
