#WEAKSTORY
Abû Salamah narrated that Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydillâh said: that two men from Balî came to the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم. They had become Muslim together, but one of them used to strive harder than the other. The one who used to strive harder went out to fight and was martyred. The other one stayed for a year longer, then he passed away. Talhah said, I saw in a dream that I was at the gate of paradise and I saw them [men]. Someone came out of paradise and admitted the one who had died last, then he came out and admitted the one who had been martyred. Then he came back to me and said: “Go back, for your time has not yet come.”
The next morning, Talhah told the people of that and they were amazed. News of that reached the prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and they told him the story. He said: "Why are you so amazed at that?" They said: "O Messenger of Allâh, the first one was the one who strove harder, then he was martyred, but the other one was admitted to Paradise before him. The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "Did he not stay behind for a year?" They said: "Yes." He صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "And did not Ramadan come and he fasted, and he offered such and such prayers during that year?" They said: "Yes." The prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said: "The difference between them is greater than the difference between heaven and earth."
[Narrated by ibn Mâjah and Ahmad, and it was weakened by al-Wâdi’î and al-Hasanî, due to a break in the chain. Yahyâ ibn Ma’în said: Abû Salamah did not hear from Talhah ibn ‘Ubaydillâh]

Adorning oneself for Laylatul Qadr
Ibn Rajab (رحمه الله) said:
During the nights which are hoped to be Laylatul Qadr, cleanliness, dressing up, taking a bath (or shower), applying perfume and wearing one's best clothing is preferred. Just as it is legislated to do so for Jumu'ah and 'Īd, it's also legislated to wear nice clothing to the other prayers; as Allāh said,
"Take your adornment while praying."
(Sūrah Al-A'rāf: 31)
Ibn 'Umar stated, "Allāh is more deserving of being adorned for." Additionally, it is narrated from him and attributed to the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) that, "outward adornment is not complete, except with inner adornment; by repentance and turning back to Allāh Ta'ālá."

Picture quote from Shaykh Harīth ash-Shiraida حفظه الله [check the pdf]
And Galandhaanu posted regarding this report:
"The strongest is the first narration, which is from Shurayh bin Hānī', which has a discreet weakness (defect) in it due to unclarity of whether Abū Ishāq al-Shaybānī did actually hear it directly from Al-'Abbās bin Dhurayh or not. If not, it is sahīh.
Hence Al-Muhaddith Al-Sheikh 'Abdul Azīz Al-Khuḍayr declared this mawqūf narration as, authentic."

Below is a recorded translation of the above conerning the Virtues of the Last Ten Days of Ramaḍān by Shaykh al-Ḥārith ibn ˋAlī al-Ḥasanī 👇🏼
🌆 Sign of Laylatul Qadr
Laylat al-Qadr may be seen with the eye, for the one whom Allaah helps to see it. That is by seeing its sign.The Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) used to recognize it by its sign.
But not seeing them does not mean that one will not gain its reward, if one spends that night in prayer out of faith and the hope of reward.
The Muslim should strive to seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadaan, as enjoined by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), hoping to earn reward. If it so happens that a person spends this night in prayer out of faith and seeking reward, then he will gain its reward, even if he does not know that that was Laylat al-Qadr. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Whoever spends the night of Laylat al-Qadr in prayer out of faith and seeking reward, all his previous sins will be forgiven.”

🔸🔸Al-Muhaddith Abû ‘Alî al-Hasanî mentioned the only authentic sign for Laylatul-Qadr is on that day the sun would rise without having any rays in it. [which comes from a narration in sahîh Muslim]🔸🔸
As for the night being bright, not hot and not cold, no clouds, no rain, no winds, no shooting stars, the stars being clear, the sky being clear, the dogs not barking, then the muhaddith said there is nothing authentic concerning them.

This maybe our last night of Ramadan (and may even be our last Ramadan) so push yourselves towards good. At least let the ending be good 🖤
Ta Ha 20:15
إِنَّ ٱلسَّاعَةَ ءَاتِيَةٌ أَكَادُ أُخْفِيهَا لِتُجْزَىٰ كُلُّ نَفْسٍۭ بِمَا تَسْعَىٰ
Verily, the Hour is coming and My Will is to keep it hidden that every person may be rewarded for that which he strives.
Al-'Ankabut 29:6
وَمَن جَٰهَدَ فَإِنَّمَا يُجَٰهِدُ لِنَفْسِهِۦٓۚ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَغَنِىٌّ عَنِ ٱلْعَٰلَمِينَ
And whosoever strives, he strives only for himself. Verily, الله is free of all wants from the 'Alamin (mankind, jinns, and all that exists).
Al-Isra' 17:19
وَمَنْ أَرَادَ ٱلْءَاخِرَةَ وَسَعَىٰ لَهَا سَعْيَهَا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ فَأُو۟لَٰٓئِكَ كَانَ سَعْيُهُم مَّشْكُورًا
And whoever desires the Hereafter and strives for it, with the necessary effort due for it (i.e. do righteous deeds of الله's Obedience) while he is a believer (in the Oneness of الله Islamic Monotheism), then such are the ones whose striving shall be appreciated, thanked and rewarded (by الله).

Is it permissible not to celebrate Eid, out of sorrow for what is happening to the Muslims in Palestine and elsewhere?
04-07-2016
We know that killing is happening on a wide scale today in the land of Palestine, and Muslims in the rest of the world are torn between sorrow and being unable to help. My question is: is it permissible for the Muslims not to celebrate Eid because of what is happening of tragedies in Palestine, especially if the Muslim feels grief and sorrow because of that?
Answer
Praise be to Allah
The Eids of the Muslims have not been prescribed only for the purpose of joy, fun and visiting one another; rather they are among the symbols and acts of worship of the religion, so the Sunnah on these occasions is for the Muslims to celebrate them openly and proclaim them.
Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
The Eids are among the most specific distinguishing features of different religions, and among the most obvious of their rituals.
End quote from Iqtida’ as-Siraat al-Mustaqeem (1/528)
Hence you will find that every religion has its own festivals that its followers care about and celebrate openly, because they are an important part of their religion.
Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (may Allah have mercy on him) said:
Expressing joy on the occasion of the Eids is one of the symbols of the religion.
End quote from Fath al-Baari (2/443)
So expressing joy on Eid is one of the acts of worship by which the Muslim draws closer to Allah.
Moreover, there is no contradiction between expressing joy on Eid and feeling sorrow for what has befallen the Muslims and grieving for their situation. The Muslim expresses his joy on Eid in order to show his religious commitment openly and to show his support for his religion and at the same time he shares the sorrows of the Muslims.
So the Muslim should combine both matters: he should practice the rituals and acts of worship of Islam openly, such as the Eid prayer, and he should express some measure of joy and happiness. And at the same time he should feel sorrow for what has befallen his brethren, and he should feel their pain.
Undoubtedly the more the Muslim feels the pain and anguish of his Muslim brothers, the less he will indulge in permissible kinds of entertainment and play, even if he allows himself expressions of joy on Eid and gratitude for the blessings that Allah has bestowed upon him.
And Allah knows best.
