Sunan Abi Dawud 4676 (Book 42, Hadith 81) #24967
The Branches of Faith

SUMMARY: The Prophet Muhammad (May peace be upon him) taught that faith has many branches, the most important of which is to declare that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is to remove a bone from the road. Modesty is also a branch of faith.

Abu Hurairah reported the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) as saying : Faith has over seventy branches, the most excellent of which is the declaration that there is no god but Allah, and the humblest of which is the removal of a bone from the road. And modesty is a branch of faith.
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُهَيْلُ بْنُ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ دِينَارٍ، عَنْ أَبِي صَالِحٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الإِيمَانُ بِضْعٌ وَسَبْعُونَ أَفْضَلُهَا قَوْلُ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ اللَّهُ وَأَدْنَاهَا إِمَاطَةُ الْعَظْمِ عَنِ الطَّرِيقِ وَالْحَيَاءُ شُعْبَةٌ مِنَ الإِيمَانِ

QUICK LESSONS:
Declare belief in Allah , Remove bones from roads , Have modesty
EXPLANATIONS:
The Prophet Muhammad taught his followers about the importance of faith and its many branches. He said that one should declare their belief in Allah as the one true God, and this was considered to be the most excellent branch of faith. He also said that even something as small as removing a bone from a road was considered to be an act of humility and thus another branch of faith. Lastly, he mentioned modesty as another important branch because it helps us stay away from sinning or doing anything wrong in public or private life. All these acts are essential for having strong faith in Allah and His teachings.
