Prophet ﷺ said: Allah has commanded me to love four, and told me that He loves them. It was said: O Prophet ﷺ, name them for us. He ﷺ said: Ali is one of them and he said this three times and Abu Dharr, and Al-Miqdad, and Salman. May God Be Pleased With Them All.
Tirmidhi 3718
Narrated by Ibn Abbas, Prophet ﷺ said: I saw my Lord in a beautiful form in my dream, He said O Muhammad! Do you know what are the angels arguing about? I said no. Allah placed his hand between my shoulders and then I knew everything what was present in the "heavens and earth".
Imam Tirmidhi narrates from one of his chain and other chains as well from Ibn Abbas who says
"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ had a gap between his two front teeth, and when he spoke, it was as if light shone between his teeth"
Imam Darimi transmitted it.
-Mishkat Al Masabih 5797.
Anas said: Messenger of allah ﷺ told whoever has three qualities will find sweetness of faith, 1) Allah and his messenger are more beloved to him than everything else. 2) He loves another person for sake of allah. 3) detests disbelief as he would detest being throw into fire.
Imām Abū Sulaymān al-Khaṭṭābī writes of a dimension of the Qur’an’s iʿjāz that many have overlooked:
“I have said that there is another aspect of the Qur’an’s inimitability which people have largely overlooked, so that scarcely any recognize it except a rare few among them: what it does to hearts and how it acts upon souls.
For you do not hear any speech other than the Qur’an, whether in verse or in prose, which, when it strikes the ear, carries to the heart — in one state — sweetness and delight, and — in another — awe and majesty, as it does. Souls rejoice in it, and breasts open wide to receive it; yet once they have taken their portion from it, they return in alarm: trembling and agitation have come over them, fear and sweat envelop them, skins shudder from it, and hearts are shaken by it. It comes between a man and the hidden contents of his soul and the convictions firmly rooted within it.
How many an enemy of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ among the men of Arabia and its fierce men of violence came forth intending to assassinate and kill him, then heard verses of the Qur’an — and no sooner had they fallen upon their hearing than they turned away from their former resolve, inclined toward peace with him, entered into his religion, and their hostility became loyalty, and their disbelief faith.”
Here al-Khaṭṭābī points to a face of the Qur’an’s miracle found not only in its eloquence, but in what it does to the human being: how it enters through hearing, reaches the heart, unsettles what lies hidden within the soul, and overturns even the firmest resolve.
They came as enemies of the Prophet ﷺ, and left with faith in his message — and this too is among the miracles of the Qur’an.
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "whoever fasts ramadan out of sincere faith seeking reward from Allah, his previous sins will be forgiven"
-Bukhari 37
Abu al-Darda narrated that Messenger of Allah ﷺ said "Whoever fasts one day in Allah's cause (sincerely), Allah will place a trench between him and hellfire like the distance between the Heavens and the Earth"
Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat with a sound chain

Tabarani narrated it in al-Awsat with a sound chain
The entire world is in the possession of Muḥammad, the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and above this is yet a higher station of truth. To hear it requires a receptive ear and a discerning heart, and it is granted only to those who are given a great portion of grace.
Many of us fast but we don't truly understand and act upon the limitations and that what is abstained from us due to lack of knowledge. We may lose the reward and benefits of fasting, I recommend everyone of us to read the chapter of fasting in bahar e shari'at and act upon it.
