I know there's like hundreds, and thousands, and millions, and billions, and gazillions (if that's a real number), but which if your favorite one?
I came across one that I really liked earlier today:
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) reported that the devil said to God: “I shall continue to lead Thy servants astray as long as their spirits are in their bodies.”
And God replied: “(Then) I shall continue to pardon them as long as they ask for My forgiveness.”
[Al-Tirmidhi, Hadith 742]

A hard question.
"How many people find fault in what they're reading and the fault is in their own understanding" Al Mutanabbi
I love that hadith.
I haven't got a favourite hadith, of course- because they're all as good as each other really.
But THIS one, I had to share.
Reported by Abu Hurairah (RA): Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, “Allah the Exalted has said:
‘I will declare war against him who shows hostility to a pious worshipper of Mine. And the most beloved thing with which My slave comes nearer to Me is what I have enjoined upon him; and My slave keeps on coming closer to Me through performing Nawafil (prayer or doing extra deeds besides what is obligatory) till I love him. When I love him I become his hearing with which he hears, his seeing with which he sees, his hand with which he strikes, and his leg with which he walks; and if he asks(something) from Me, I give him, and if he asks My Protection (refuge), I protect him.”
[Al-Bukhari]
