Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "To guard Muslims from infidels in Allah's Cause for one day is better than the
world and whatever is on its surface, and a place in Paradise as small as that occupied by the whip of
one of you is better than the world and whatever is on its surface; and a morning's or an evening's
journey which a slave (person) travels in Allah's Cause is better than the world and whatever is on its
surface."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 56, Hadith 107

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Charity is obligatory everyday on every joint of a human being. If one helps a
person in matters concerning his riding animal by helping him to ride it or by lifting his luggage on to
it, all this will be regarded charity. A good word, and every step one takes to offer the compulsory
Congregational prayer, is regarded as charity; and guiding somebody on the road is regarded as
charity."

The Prophet (ﷺ) said to Abu Talha, "Choose one of your boy servants to serve me in my expedition to
Khaibar." So, Abu Talha took me letting me ride behind him while I was a boy nearing the age of
puberty. I used to serve Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) when he stopped to rest. I heard him saying repeatedly, "O
Allah! I seek refuge with You from distress and sorrow, from helplessness and laziness, from
miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overcome by men." Then we
reached Khaibar; and when Allah enabled him to conquer the Fort (of Khaibar), the beauty of Safiya
bint Huyai bin Akhtab was described to him. Her husband had been killed while she was a bride. So
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) selected her for himself and took her along with him till we reached a place called
Sa`d-AsSahba,' where her menses were over and he took her for his wife. Haris (a kind of dish) was
served on a small leather sheet. Then Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) told me to call those who were around me. So,
that was the marriage banquet of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and Safiya. Then we left for Medina. I saw Allah's
Apostle folding a cloak round the hump of the camel so as to make a wide space for Safiya (to sit on
behind him) He sat beside his camel letting his knees for Safiya to put her feet on so as to mount the
camel. Then, we proceeded till we approached Medina; he looked at Uhud (mountain) and said, "This
is a mountain which loves us and is loved by us." Then he looked at Medina and said, "O Allah! I
make the area between its (i.e. Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary as Abraham made Mecca a
sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (i.e. the people of Medina) in their Mudd and Sa (i.e. measures).
