Abu Malik Al-Ashari reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
Purity is half of faith, and the praise of Allah fills the scale. Glorification and praise fill up what is between the heavens and the earth. Prayer is a light, charity is a proof, and patience is lightness. The Quran is a proof for you or against you. All people go out early in the morning and sell themselves, either setting themselves free or destroying themselves.
