    Recommendation Of
    Godwariness (taqwa) In Private and In Public

    Hadith Eleven

    The Prophet's ﷺ Recommendation Of
    Godwariness In Private and In Public

    It is narrated from Mu`adh (ra) that Allah's
    Messenger ﷺ said: "Be wary of Allah wherever
    you are. Follow up your wrongdoing with a good deed
    which shall erase it. Treat people with great
    kindness."

    Al-Tirmidhi narrated it and said it is hasan sahîh.

    Al-Tabarani also narrated, with a chain from Abu
    Salama whose narrators are trustworthy, from Mu`adh
    (ra): "I said: `O Messenger of Allah, advise me.'
    He replied: `Worship Allah as if you see Him. Count
    yourself among the dead. Remember Allah at every rock
    and every tree. If you did wrong, then do good next to
    it; secret for secret, open deed for open deed.'"

    The above wording is that of al-Targhib. The author
    said: "Abu Salama did not actually meet Mu`adh."
