Question:

Assalaamualaykum, I recieved an email from my friend. I would like to know whether this information is authentic or not. The email is:- The Holy Prophet (SAW) Said: 1) Four things that make your body sick: a) Excessive talking b) Excessive sleeping c) Excessive eating and d) Excessive meeting other people 2) Four things that destroys the body: a) Worrying b) Sorrow (Sadness/Grief) c) Hunger d) Sleeping late in the night 3) Four things that dry the face & take away its happiness: a) Lying b) Being disrespectful / impudent (insisting on something wrong knowingly) c) Arguing without adequate knowledge & Information. d) Excessive immorality (doing something wrong without fear). 4) Four things that increases the wetness of face & its happiness: a) Piety b) Loyalty c) Generosity (being kind) d) To be helpful to others without he/she asking for that. 5) Four things that stop the Rizq (Sustenance) : a) Sleeping in the morning (from Fajr to sunrise) b) Not Performing Namaz or Ir-regular in Prayers c) Laziness / Idleness d) Treachery / Dishonesty 6) Four things that bring / increase the Rizq: a) Staying up in the night for prayers. b) Excessive Repentance c) Regular Charity d) Zikr (Remembrance of Allah / God). The Holy Prophet (SAW), Also said to communicate to others even if you listen One Verse (Ayaah) & this one verse will stand on the Day of Judgment for intercession. The Holy Prophet (SAW) said, Stop doing everything during the Azaan, even reading the Quran, the person who talks during the Azaan will not be able to say the Kalima E Shahada on his/her death bed.... Please pass this message to Muslims... **READ THIS DUAA FOR BETTER LIFE** Allahumma- inni- ala- Zikr-ika -wa Shuk-rika wa husni-IbaadatikA very powerful Dua'a has been sent to you. Imagine if 1000 people read it just because of you. Jazakallah. BECAUSE ONLY you will seek goodness.
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

 

With regard to the first Hadeeth – which is the long one that starts with: “Four things ...”, – then we did not find it in the abundant books that we have at hand, but it seems obvious that it is a fabricated Hadeeth. 

As regards what you mentioned that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) informed his companions that whoever listens to one verse from the Quran it will intercede for him on the Day of Judgment, then we have not come across a Hadeeth with this meaning. However, it is confirmed that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said: ''Recite the Quran, as it will come on the Day of Judgment as an intercessor for those who recited it.” [Muslim]

Also, we did not come across anything which proves that the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) said that a Muslim should stop doing anything when he hears the Athaan (the call to the prayer) even if he was reciting the Quran, and that whoever speaks during the Athaan he will not be able to utter the Shahaadah (The Two Testimonies of Faith) when he is on his death bed. Nonetheless, the jurists may Allaah have mercy upon them stated that whoever hears the Athaan while he is reciting the Quran, he should listen to the Mu’aththin and say the mention that is legislated in this regard, and they argued that the time of the Athaan expires whereas there is plenty of time for reciting the Quran at any time.  

Allaah Knows best.
