• Explanation of the 27th Hadīth - Righteousness and Sin

 From al-Nawwās bin al-Samʿān (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu), from the Prophet (ṣallallāhu ʿalayhi wasallam) that he said, "Righteousness (birr) is good morality, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in your soul and which you dislike people finding out about."

And on the authority of Wābiṣah bin Maʿbad (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu) that he said: I came to the Messenger of Allah and he said, "You have come to ask about righteousness?" I said, " Yes." He said, "Consult your heart. Righteousness is that about which the soul feels tranquil and the heart feels tranquil, and wrongdoing is that which wavers in the soul and moves to and fro in the breast even though people again and again have given you their legal opinion [in its favor]."

• Explanation of the 28th Hadīth - Sticking to the Sunnah (The Farewell Sermon)

From Abū Najīh al-ʿIrbāḍ bin Sāriyah (raḍiyallāhu ʿanhu) who said:
The Messenger ﷺ lead us in prayer one day, and then he faced us and gave us an eloquent sermon due to which the eyes flowed with tears and the hearts were moved, so one of us said, 
“Oh Messenger of Allah, it is as if this is a farewell sermon, so what do you advise us with?
He ﷺ said: 
“I advise you with the fear of Allah and to hear & obey (your leaders) even if an Abyssinian slave were to rule over you for whomsoever lives (long) amongst you after me then they will see a great amount of Differing, so upon you is to follow my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the Rightly Guided Caliphs (after me). Stick to it and bite onto it with the molar teeth and be warned of the newly invented matters for indeed every newly invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance.”
