I got this idea of compiling hadeeth which gives us hopes by gaining rewards of huge deeds through simple actions.
In other words Allah's cheap alternatives. I hope that all members continue bringing similar hadeeth in order to make this a good reference for all of us:
Narrated Abi Horairah that poor people from the immigrants came to the Messenger and said people of Duthour (wealth) attained the high ranks and permenant luxury. The Messenger (PAPBUH) asked and what is that? They replied: they perform prayer just as we perform prayer, they fast just as we fast, they give out money for charity (sadaqah) and we do not, they free slaves and we do not. The Messenger (PAPBUH) said: shall I not teach you something through which you will catch up with those who passed you and be ahead of those who succeed you and no one shall be better than you except one who follows what you did? They said yes Messenger of Allah. He told them say Sobhan Allah, Alhamdulelah and Allahu Akbar 33 times each after each prayer. (reported by Muslim)
Narrated Anas Ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said: the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said one who prays Fajr in congregation, continued sitting making dhikr (remembrance of Allah) till sunrise, then performed two Raka`a shall gain the reward of performing Haj and Umra, the narrator continued that the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said complete, complete, complete. (reported by Termidhi)
Under the authority of Abi Horaira that the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said: "Shall I not tell you of with what Allah erases sins and elevates ranks, perform perfect wodu even under difficult circumstances (such as in case of cold whether or injured part of the body), increased number of steps towards masajed (mosques), and anticipating prayer after prayer, this is Rabat this is Rebat this is Rebat (Rebat is when one stands at the borders of the Muslim country protecting it against invasion)" (reported by Muslim)
Narrated under the authority of Abi A`ayash that the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) said one who say in the morning La ilaha ila Allah wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul molk, walahu lhamd wa howa a`ala kol shaye-en qadeer, shall receive equal reward of freeing a slave of the children of Ismail, ten good deeds (hasanat) shall be recorded for him, ten sins shall be eliminated off him, shall be elevated ten ranks and shall be protected against shaytan till the evening. If he say this in the evening shall receive the same till the morning. A man saw the Messenger of Allah in a vision (while sleeping) and told him that Abi A`ayash is quoting you say so and so, he said Abu A`ayash said the truth. (reported by Ahmed)
Narrated Jaber Ibn Abdullah Al Ansary saying I heard the Messenger of Allah (PAPBUH) say: One who fasts Ramadan and six days of Shawal, is considered as if he fasted the whole year (reported by Ahmed)
