These are often repeated online, but they are weak, disputed, or we could not trace them to a reliable source. They are listed so you can recognise them, not as established virtue.

We have not been able to trace this to a reliable hadith source, so we do not present it as an established virtue.
How to read this page
We keep three things apart: what the Quran itself says, what is reported in hadith (with its collection and grading), and what is only popular practice. A virtue report describes a recommended deed and does not make it obligatory. For rulings or personal practice, ask a qualified scholar. Our approach is explained on the about page.
