Uprightness and Steadfastness
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "Follow the Right Path of Faith strictly, and be steadfast; and keep in mind that none of you can achieve salvation through his (good) actions." Someone asked, "Not even you, O Messenger of Allah?" He (PBUH) said, "Not even me, unless Allah grants me His Mercy and Grace".[Muslim].


Commentary:
This Hadith tells us that although the importance of Faith and its practice is beyond any shadow of doubt, because this is the only way to attain His Favours and Blessings, but one should not entirely depend upon practice only because any shortcoming (which one does not even know) can ruin a good deed. It is, therefore, essential that we also pray that our good deeds are accepted by Allah and that He grants us His Infinite Mercy and sincerity because even the greatest noble deed is invalid without it.

باب الاستِقامة
وعنْ أبي هُريْرة رضي اللَّه عنه : قال قال رسول اللَّه صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم : « قَارِبُوا وسدِّدُوا ، واعْلَمُوا أَنَّه لَنْ ينْجُو أحدٌ منْكُمْ بعملهِ » قَالوا : ولا أنْت يَا رسُولَ اللَّه؟ قال : « ولا أَنَا إلا أنْ يتَغَمَّدني اللَّه برَحْمةٍ منْه وَفضْلٍ » رواه مسلم .و « الْمُقارَبةُ » : الْقَصْدُ الَّذي لا غلُوَّ فيه ولا تقْصيرَ . و « السَّدادُ » : الاسْتقَامةُ وَالإِصابةُ ، و « يتَغَمَّدني » يُلْبسُني ويَسْتُرني .
قالَ الْعُلَمَاءُ : معنَى الاستقَامَةِ : لُزومُ طَاعِة اللَّهِ تَعالى ، قالُوا : وَهِي مِنْ جوامِعِ الْكلِم، وهِيَ نظام الأمُورِ ، وباللَّه التَّوفيق .
