Hadith # 3

عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ قَرَأَ كُلَّ يَوْمٍ مِائَتَيْ مَرَّةٍ قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ مُحِيَ عَنْهُ ذُنُوبُ خَمْسِينَ سَنَةً إِلَّا أَنْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْهِ دَيْنٌ

Sayyidina Anas (RA) ibn Malik reported that the Prophet (SAW) said, “If anyone recites Surah al-Ikhlas every day two hundred times[/gren] then his sins over fifty years will be effaced unless he has a debt payable.” It is reported from the Prophet (SAW) through the same sanad that he said, “If anyone intends to sleep on his bed and lies down on his right side and recites Surah al-Ikhlas a hundred times then, on the Day of Resurrection, the Blessed and Exalted Lord will say to him, “O My slave, enter Paradise by your right side.”

Hadith # 4

عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُمْسِي ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ لَمْ يَضُرَّهُ حُمَةٌ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ

I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the mischief of what He has created. then no poison will harm him that night. Suhayl said, Our family used to teach it and recite it every night. A girl among them was stung by something one night, but she felt no pain.

Hadith # 6

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَنْ سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ مِائَةً بِالْغَدَاةِ وَمِائَةً بِالْعَشِيِّ كَانَ كَمَنْ حَجَّ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَمَنْ حَمِدَ اللَّهَ مِائَةً بِالْغَدَاةِ وَمِائَةً بِالْعَشِيِّ كَانَ كَمَنْ حَمَلَ عَلَى مِائَةِ فَرَسٍ فِي سَبِيلِ اللَّهِ أَوْ قَالَ غَزَا مِائَةَ غَزْوَةٍ وَمَنْ هَلَّلَ اللَّهَ مِائَةً بِالْغَدَاةِ وَمِائَةً بِالْعَشِيِّ كَانَ كَمَنْ أَعْتَقَ مِائَةَ رَقَبَةٍ مِنْ وَلَدِ إِسْمَعِيلَ وَمَنْ كَبَّرَ اللَّهَ مِائَةً بِالْغَدَاةِ وَمِائَةً بِالْعَشِيِّ لَمْ يَأْتِ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ أَحَدٌ بِأَكْثَرَ مِمَّا أَتَى بِهِ إِلَّا مَنْ قَالَ مِثْلَ مَا قَالَ أَوْ زَادَ عَلَى مَا قَالَ

Amr ibn Shuayb reported from his father who from his grand father that Allah’s Messenger (SAW) said, “If anyone glorifies Allah (saying Subhan Allah) a hundred times in the morning and a hundred times in the evening then he is like one who performed a hundred Hajj (pilgrimages). And, he who praises Allah (saying Alhamdulillah) a hundred times in the morning and a hundred times in the evening,is like one who gave a hundred warriors horses to ride in the path of Allah” or, he said; as though he participated in a hundred battles. And he who declared Allah’s unity (saying La ilaha illAllah) a hundred times in the morning and a hundred times in the evening, is as though he emancipated a hundred slaves, who were descendants of Isma’il. And, he who extolled Allah (saying Allahu Akbar) a hundred times in the morning and a hundred times in the evening (should know that), none would bring that day more than what he brought unless he said as this person said or increased upon it.”

Hadith # 8

Sayyidina Abu Huraira(RA) reported that Allahs Messenger (SAW) said about one who says a hundred times in a day:
There is no God but Allah Who is Alone and has no partner, To Him belongs the dominion and for Him is all praise. He gives life and He causes death and He is Omnipotent.

He said that this person will have a reward for setting free ten slaves, a hundred blessings will be credited to his record, a hundred evil deeds will be removed from his record, and it will be a shield for him against the devil for that day till evening. And none will bring auything more excellent than what he brings unless he does more than this person has done. (of the same thing).

Glorified be Allah, and with His praise, then his sins are deleted from his record even if they exceed the foam of the occan.

very important usool in islam

Aqah Karim (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) said: What Allah has made lawful in His Book is halal and what He has forbidden is haram, and that concerning which He is silent is allowed as His favor. So accept from Allah His favor, for Allah is not forgetful of anything. He then recited, "And thy Lord is not forgetful." (19:64)
,(This hadith was reported by al-Hakim, cla88ified as sahih (sound), and quoted by al-Bazzar.)
,
,
Salman al-Farsi reported that when the Messenger of Allah (peace be on him) was asked about animal fat, cheese, and fur, he replied,"The halal is that which Allah has made lawful in His Book and the haram is that which He has forbidden, and that concerning which He is silent He has permitted as a favor to you."
,
(Reported by al-Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah.)
,
Please read the green part, any thing concerning which their is silence is Halal and lawful in Islam according to Aqah Karim (صلی اللہ علیھ وآلھ وسلم) himself, so calling some thing haram without specific proof is not go
