God can hear even the smallest whisper
Certain individuals once asked the Prophet whether God was close enough for them to make whispered supplications to Him, or whether He was so far away that they should call His name out loud. This verse of the Quran was revealed in reply to their question: "when my servants question you concerning Me, tell them that I am near. I answer the prayer of the suppliant when he calls Me... (2:186)"

Acting 'to be seen by men'
Abu Hurayrah records the Prophet as having exhorted his followers to seek refuge from the Pit of Grief. When asked what this Pit of Grief was, he said it was a gorge in hell from which hell itself sought refuge four hundred times a day. The Prophet was then asked who would enter that Pit. "Those scholars who act to be seen by men" he replied. (At-Tirmidhi, Ibn majah)

Rejoicing in the Muslims' prosperity
Abdullah ibn Abbas once said: "Whenever I hear that rain has fallen on a Muslim town, I am happy; even though I myself have no cattle grazing there." (At Tirmidhi)
