Hadith Qudsi 22:
On the authority of Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that the
Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
Let not any one of you belittle himself. They said: O Messenger of Allah, how
can any one of us belittle himself? He said: He finds a matter concerning Allah
about which he should say something, and he does not say [it], so Allah (mighty
and sublime be He) says to him on the Day of Resurrection: What prevented you
from saying something about such-and-such and such-and-such? He say: [It was]
out of fear of people. Then He says: Rather it is I whom you should more
properly fear.It was related by Ibn Majah with a sound chain of authorities.

Hadith Qudsi 24:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that
the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
If Allah has loved a servant [of His] He calls Gabriel (on whom be peace) and
says: I love So-and-so, therefore love him. He (the Prophet pbuh) said: So
Gabriel loves him. Then he (Gabriel) calls out in heaven, saying: Allah loves
So-and-so, therefore love him. And the inhabitants of heaven love him. He (the
Prophet pbuh) said: Then acceptance is established for him on earth. And if
Allah has abhorred a servant [of His], He calls Gabriel and says: I abhor
So-and-so, therefore abhor him. So Gabriel abhors him. Then Gabriel calls out to
the inhabitants of heaven: Allah abhors So-and-so, therefore abhor him. He (the
Prophet pbuh) said: So they abhor him, and abhorrence is established for him on
earth.
It was related by Muslim (also by al-Bukhari, Malik, and at-Tirmidhi).

Hadith Qudsi 25:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that
the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:
Whosoever shows enmity to someone devoted to Me, I shall be at war with him. My
servant draws not near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious
duties I have enjoined upon him, and My servant continues to draw near to Me
with supererogatory works so that I shall love him. When I love him I am his
hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which
he strikes and his foot with which he walks. Were he to ask [something] of Me, I
would surely give it to him, and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely
grant him it. I do not hesitate about anything as much as I hesitate about
[seizing] the soul of My faithful servant: he hates death and I hate hurting
him.
It was related by al-Bukhari.

Hadith Qudsi 26:
On the authority of Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that
the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:
Truly of those devoted to Me the one I most favour is a believer who is of
meagre means and much given to prayer, who has been particular in the worship of
his Lord and has obeyed Him inwardly (1), who was obscure among people and not
pointed our, and whose sustenance was just sufficient to provide for him yet he
bore this patiently. Then the Prophet (pbuh) rapped his hand and said: Death
will have come early to him, his mourners will have been few, his estate scant.
(1) i.e. he has not been ostentatious in his obedience.
It was related by at-Tirmidhi (also by Ahmad ibn Hanbal and Ibn Majah). Its
chain of authorities is sound.

Hadith Qudsi 27:
On the authority of Masruq, who said:
We asked Abdullah (i.e. Ibn Masud) about this verse: And do not regard those who
have been killed in the cause of Allah as dead, rather are they alive with their
Lord, being provided for (Quran Chapter 3 Verse 169). He said: We asked about
that and the Prophet (pbuh) said: Their souls are in the insides of green birds
having lanterns suspended from the Throne, roaming freely in Paradise where they
please, then taking shelter in those lanterns. So their Lord cast a glance at
them (1) and said: Do you wish for anything? They said: What shall we wish for
when we roam freely in Paradise where we please? And thus did He do to them
three times. When they say that they would not be spared from being asked
[again], they said: O Lord, we would like for You to put back our souls into our
bodies so that we might fight for Your sake once again. And when He saw that
they were not in need of anything they were let be.
(1) i.e. at those who had been killed in the cause of Allah.
It was related by Muslim (also by at-Tirmidhi, an-Nasa'i and Ibn Majah).

Hadith Qudsi 28:
On the authority of Jundub ibn Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him), who
said that the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said:
There was amongst those before you a man who had a wound. He was in [such]
nguish that he took a knife and made with it a cut in his hand, and the blood
did not cease to flow till he died. Allah the Almighty said: My servant has
himself forestalled Me; I have forbidden him Paradise.
It was related by al-Bukhari.

Hadith Qudsi 29:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that
the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) says:
My faithful servant's reward from Me, if I have taken to Me his best friend from
amongst the inhabitants of the world and he has then borne it patiently for My
sake, shall be nothing less than Paradise.
It was related by al-Bukhari.

Hadith Qudsi 30:
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said that
the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: Allah (mighty and sublime be He) said:
If My servant likes to meet Me, I like to meet him; and if he dislikes to meet
Me, I dislike to meet him. Prophetic explanation of this Sacred Hadith: He who
likes to meet Allah, Allah likes to meet him; and he who dislikes to meet Allah,
Allah dislikes to meet him. Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O
Prophet of Allah, is it because of the dislike of death, for all of us dislike
death? The Prophet (pbuh) said: It is not so, but rather it is that when the
believer is given news of Allah's mercy, His approval and His Paradise, he likes
to meet Allah and Allah likes to meet him; but when the unbeliever is given news
of Allah's punishment and His displeasure, he dislikes to meet Allah and Allah
dislikes to meet him.
It was related by al-Bukhari and Malik. The Prophetic version is related by
Muslim
