Salaams everyone
I thought of starting this topic to learn more about Islam from Hadith, given that majority of topics here might have been focused to refer to Quran mainly.
Hope this be useful. Feel free to comment, or ask, but hope this be less debate-oriented. Thanks

First What is a Hadith?
Hadith in Arabic language has two meanings
(1) Modern or new.
(2) A talk.
When in religious context, Hadith means: All talks/sayings, or actions, or affirmations that were narrated and confirmed be by the Prophet Mohammed (peace be upon him).
The scholars have developed many tools and even an entire science to verify the authenticity of narrated Hadiths (simply because anyone can claim anything that has been said, etc). These include science of Hadith terms, science of men, chains of narrators and it's loopholes, etc.. we won't be discussing these topics here.

---
Hadiths have talked about all aspects of religion and life such as: faith, character, worship, biographies and history, miracles, tafser/interpretation, social and civil laws, etc..
Hope we can be quite comprehensive here and mention on all these topics.

Abu Musa Al-Ashari (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said: Allah, the Exalted,
will continue to stretch out His Hand in the night so that the sinners of the day may repent, and continue to stretch
His Hand in the daytime so that the sinners of the night may repent, until the sun rises from the west.
[Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith confirms an essential Attribute of Allah, i.e., the Hand which He stretches out anytime
He wishes without drawing similarity to it, nor interpretation. Such was the attitude of the pious predecessors with
regards to all of the essential Attributes of Allah. It is deduced from this Hadith that if one commits a sin during any
hour of day or night, he should immediately seek the forgiveness of Allah as a result. * +

Abu Malik Al-Harith bin Asim Al-Ashar (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of
Allah (PBUH) said: Wudu' is half of Salah; the utterance of (Al-hamdu lillah - all praise belongs to Allah) fills the
Scales of good actions; the utterance of (Subhan Allah wa Al-hamdu lillah) (Allah is far removed from every
imperfection and all praise belongs to Allah) fills the space between the heavens and the earth, and Salat (ie, prayer) is
light; and charity is the proof of Faith; and endurance is light, and the Qur'an is a plea in your favour or against you.
Every person departs; he either ransoms it or puts it into perdition.
[Muslim].
Commentary:
1. Piety in all forms is meritorious. And Faith means Faith in its perfect form. Some people are of the opinion that
here Faith means Salat. Purification is essential for Salat and this is the reason it is regarded as half of Salat.
2. Excellence of the remembrance of Allah.
3. Inducement for concentration on Salat because it is a light which provides guidance to a Muslim at every step and
prevents him from obscenity and unlawful actions.
4. Sadaqah signifies a Muslim's sincerity and devotion.
5. The praiseworthiness of patience. It is a strong weapon of a Muslim which provides him with steadfastness.
6. The Qur'an is a means of salvation as well as destruction for a Muslim. If one acts upon its orders, it becomes a
means of his salvation; if he shuns them, it ruins him.
7. One should not leave oneself idle but keep it busy - busy in some noble work, otherwise it would tend to evil
which will eventually ruin him.
8. One should spend this transitory earthly life in the obedience of Allah. * +

Abu Dharr (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, Do not disdain a
good deed, (no matter how small it may seem) even if it is your meeting with your (Muslim) brother with a cheerful
face.''
[Muslim].
Commentary: Every deed approved by the Shariah is considered good and rewarding. Howsoever seemingly small
people may consider it, it must not be looked at from a highbrow angle. Even to meet people cheerfully is one of the
Islamic virtues, though it may appear quite insignificant to some people. * +

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) narrated: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, He who repents
before the sun rises from the west, Allah will forgive him.
[Muslim].
Commentary: Taubah means returning to Allah from sins. When a person commits a sin, he goes away from Allah.
When he repents, he returns to Allah and desires for being pardoned by Him, and getting near Him. This returning
towards Him is Taubah. When it is said that Allah turns towards him', it means that Allah accepts his repentance. * +

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported that: The Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said: The
reward for Salat performed by a person in congregation is more than 20 times greater than that of the Salat
performed in one's house or shop. When one performs Wudu' perfectly and then proceeds to the mosque with the
sole intention of performing Salat, then for every step he takes towards the mosque, he is upgraded one degree in
reward and one of his sins is eliminated until he enters the mosque, and when he enters the mosque, he is considered
as performing Salat as long as it is the Salat which prevents him (from leaving the mosque); and the angels keep on
supplicating Allah for him as long as he remains in his place of prayer. They say: 'O Allah! have mercy on him; O
Allah! forgive his sins; O Allah! accept his repentance'. This will carry on as long as he does not pass wind.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim].
Commentary: This Hadith shows that although it is permissible to perform Salat individually in market places and
houses, but its collective performance in the mosque is 25, 26, or 27 times more meritorious, as mentioned in other
Ahadith. * +

Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard Messenger of Allah (PBUH) saying,
Whosoever visits an ailing person or a brother of his to seek the Pleasure of Allah, an announcer (that is, an angel) calls out: May you be happy, may your walking be blessed, and may you be awarded a dignified position in Jannah.
[At-Tirmidhi].
Commentary: This Hadith highlights the merit of visiting the sick and Muslim to gain the Pleasure of Allah.
