Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) replied: It is I.

He (the Holy Prophet again) said: Who among you led a poor man today?

Abu Bakr (Allah he pleased with him) replied: It is I.

He (again) said: Who among you visited an invalid today?

Abu Bakr (Allah be pleased with him) said: It is I.

Upon this the Messenger of Allah (may peace be upon him) said:

Anyone in whom (these good deeds) are combined will certainly, enter paradise. 

Sahih Bukahri : Book-2 Hadith -  385

Narrated Jabir bin 'Abdullah:

Some angels came to the Prophet while he was sleeping. Some of them said, "He is sleeping." Others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake."

Then they said, "There is an example for this companion of yours." One of them said, "Then set forth an example for him."

Some of them said, "He is sleeping." The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake."

Then they said, "His example is that of a man who has built a house and then offered therein a banquet and sent an inviter (messenger) to invite the people. So whoever accepted the invitation of the inviter, entered the house and ate of the banquet, and whoever did not accept the invitation of the inviter, did not enter the house, nor did he eat of the banquet."

Then the angels said, "Interpret this example to him so that he may understand it."

Some of them said, "He is sleeping.'' The others said, "His eyes are sleeping but his heart is awake."

And then they said, "The houses stands for Paradise and the call maker is Muhammad; and whoever obeys Muhammad, obeys Allah; and whoever disobeys Muhammad, disobeys Allah. Muhammad separated the people (i.e., through his message, the good is distinguished from the bad, and the believers from the disbelievers)."

 Narrated 'Aisha:

The most beloved action to Allah's Apostle was that whose doer did it continuously and regularly. 

(Sahiih Bukhari Book - 32, Hadith - 233)

Narrated Abu Salama: I asked Abu Sa'id, and he was a friend of mine, (about the Night of Qadr) and

he said, "We practiced Itikaf (seclusion in the mosque) in the middle third of the month of Ramadan with the Prophet.

In the morning of the 20th of Ramadan, the Prophet came and addressed us and said, 'I was informed of (the date of the Night of Qadr) but I was caused to forget it;  so search for it in the odd nights of the last ten nights of the month of Ramadan. (In the dream) I saw myself prostrating in mud and water (as a sign). So, whoever was in l'tikaf with me should return to it with me (for another 10-day's period)', and we returned.

At that time there was no sign of clouds in the sky but suddenly a cloud came and it rained till rain-water started leaking through the roof of the mosque which was made of date-palm leaf stalks. Then the prayer was established and I saw Allah's Apostle prostrating in mud and water and I saw the traces of mud on his forehead."
