From the route of Abu Malik al-Harith bin ^Asim al-Ash^ariyy, may Allah accept his deeds who said:
The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, said: <<Ablution has half the reward of ‘Iman (belief and/or prayer), saying al-hamdulillah (praising Allah) fills the Balance with reward, the reward of saying subhanallah and al-hamdulillah (praising Allah and clearing Him from non befitting attributes) fills what is between the heavens and earth , prayers prevent from sinning and guide to correctness, charity stands as a proof of belief for the donor, patience provides enlightenment along the correct path, the Qur’an either substantiates your good doings or substantiates your bad doings. Each person endeavors and either attempts to be obedient to Allah and save himself from torture, or attempts to follow the devil and ones desires and deserves the torture>>.
