Do good deeds

This hadith is narrated by Ali ibn Abi Talib and it talks about the importance of avoiding division, being a show-off or a merchant, and instead doing good deeds. The Prophet Muhammad was at a funeral when he asked who would go to Madinah to level graves, smear images, and break idols. A man stood up but then sat down out of fear for the people in Madinah. Ali then volunteered to do it himself and reported back that he did as asked. The Prophet Muhammad then said that whoever goes back to doing any of those things has disbelieved in what Allah revealed to him. He also warned Ali not to be a cause of division or be a show-off or merchant except for good merchants who procrastinate in doing good deeds. This hadith teaches us that we should avoid causing divisions among people as well as being boastful about our actions because this can lead us away from faith in Allah's teachings. We should also strive towards doing good deeds even if we are slow at it because this will bring us closer to Allah's mercy and blessings.
