Hadith 21:

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah (r.a) that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said:
«Whoever calls to guidance will have a reward like the rewards of those who follow him, without that detracting from their rewards in the slightest. Whoever calls to misguidance will have a burden of sin like that of those who follow him, without that detracting from their sins in the slightest.»

Hadith 20:

It was narrated that Abdullah ibn Mas’ud (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) drew a line for us, then he said: «This is the path of Allah.» Then he drew other lines to its right and left, then he said: «These are other paths - Yazid said: Splitting in different directions - on each of these paths there is a devil calling people to it.» Then he recited: {And, (moreover], this is My path, which is straight, so follow it; and do not follow [other] ways, for you wil be separated from His way}
[al-An'am 6:153].

Hadith 19:

It was narrated that Abu Najeeh al-Irbad ibn Sariyah as-Sulami (r.a) said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) exhorted us, and our hearts trembled and tears flowed from our eyes. We said: O Messenger of Allah, it is as if this is the exhortation of one who is bidding farewell, so instruct us. He said: «I instruct you to fear Allah Azza wa Jalla, and to hear and obey, even if the one who is appointed as your leader is a slave. Those among you who live a long life will see great differences. I urge you to adhere to my Sunnah and the way of the rightly-guided, right-thinking caliphs; adhere firmly to it. Beware of newly invented matters, for every newly invented matter is an innovation, and every innovation is misguidance.»

accordance with this matter of ours, it is to be rejected.»

Hadith 17:

It was narrated from Anas ibn Malik (r.a) that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: «There are three characteristics, whoever attains them has found the sweetness of faith: when Allah and His Messenger are dearer to him than all else, when he loves a man and does not love him except for the sake of Allah, and when he would hate to return to disbelief after Allah has saved him from it as he would hate to be thrown into the Fire.»
