To Wish For Good
Narrated by Abu Huraira (Radhiallaho anho):
Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam)said, “If I had gold equal to the mountain of Uhud, I would love that, before three days had passed, not a single Dinar thereof remained with me if I found somebody to accept it excluding some amount that I would keep for the payment of my debts.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 9 : No. 334
What kind of wishing is disliked
Narrated by Sad bin Ubaid (Radhiallaho anho):
(the Maula of ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Azhar) Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “None of you should long for death, for if he is a good man, he may increase his good deeds, and if he is an evil-doer, he may stop the evil deeds and repent.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 9 : No. 341
The person who judges according to Allah’s law
Narrated by Abdullah (Radhiallaho anho):
Allah’s Messenger (sallallaahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said “Do not wish to be like anyone, except in two cases: (1) A man whom Allah has given wealth and he spends it righteously. (2) A man whom Allah has given wisdom (knowledge of the Qur’an and the Hadith) and he acts according to it and teaches it to others.”
Sahih Al-Bukhari Vol. 9 : No. 255


The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) reported that the devil said to God:
“I shall continue to lead Thy servants astray as long as their spirits are in their bodies.”
And God replied:
“(Then) I shall continue to pardon them as long as they ask for My forgiveness.”
[Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 742]
