Hadith about saving a soul: Reported by Anas (RA): A young Jewish boy who was in the service of the Prophet (peace be upon him) fell ill. The Prophet (peace be upon him) went to visit him. He sat down by his head and said to him, “Embrace Islam.” The little boy looked at his father who was sitting beside him. He said: “Obey Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)).” So he embraced Islam and the Prophet (peace be upon him) stepped out saying, “Praise be to Allah Who has saved him from Hell-fire.” [Bukhari - Riyad us Saliheen, Chapter 144, 900] Saving one person’s soul is better than the whole earth and what it contains. May Allah give us the ability to do so, ameen. -HOTD
