    Hadith Sixteen

    The Prophet's ﷺ Description of the Deeds of
    Mercy and Their Effects


    It is narrated from Abu Umama that he said the Prophet
    ﷺ said: "Good deeds protect one from a bad
    death. Charity given in secret extinguishes the Lord's
    wrath. And upholding family ties increases one's
    life."

    Another version adds: "Every good deed is a charity.
    The people who do good deeds are a charity. The people
    who do good in the world are the people of good in the
    hereafter. The people that do evil in the world are
    the people of evil in the hereafter. The first to
    enter Paradise will be the people who did good."
