From Abu Ayoob who said: ‘A Bedouin came to the Prophet - sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- and said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah! I love horses, are there horses in Paradise?’
The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
‘If you were entered into Paradise a horse made of sapphire with wings will be brought to you, you will be carried upon it, and it will fly with you on it wherever you wished.’

HAVE YOU LEARNT TO SAY, 'I'M SORRY'?
Imaam Ibn Hibbaan (rahimahul Laah) said:
" If there were no other praise worthy feature in a man who says, 'I'm sorry' to his brother other than negating his self-pride at the moment, it would still be obligatory upon every right thinking fellow to say, 'I'm sorry' at every instance of error (against people) . "

“O Allaah Bless me in what You have given…” – Shaykh Ibn Uthaymeen
The Explanation of:
وَبَارِكْ لِي فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَ
“Bless me in what You have given…”
The Arabic word بَرَكَة (barakah) “blessing” literally means an abundance of anything good that is continuous. The scholars even trace this word and its meaning back to the word بِرْكَة (birkah) which means a large amount of water or any wide container or gathering of water that is constantly filled with water. Similarly, the word blessing means a continuously large amount of good. So the meaning of this statement is: Send blessings down upon everything you have given me.
The wording, “…in what you have given…” is comprehensive including anything Allah has given us of wealth, children, knowledge, and anything else Allah ( سبحانه وتعالى ) has bestowed upon us. So you ask Allah to put blessings in all of that. If Allah does not put blessings in what he has given you, you would surely be prevented from a great amount of good.
How many people have a wealth in abundance, yet it is as if they live in poverty? This is because they gain no real benefit from their wealth; they simply collect it and never benefit from it. This is the result of the blessings being removed from it. Likewise, many people have lots of children and grandchildren, yet their children do not benefit their parents in anything due to their disobedience and ungratefulness. Such people have not been blessed in their children.
You also find some people to whom Allah has given a great amount of knowledge, yet it is as if he is illiterate. You see no traces of knowledge upon him in his worship, in his character, in his manners, nor in the way he treats others. Rather, his knowledge may even increase him in arrogance and considering himself to be above the rest of Allah’s worshippers, belittling and humiliating them. Such a person does not realize the one who bestowed this knowledge upon him is none other than Allah. You see that he never benefits people with his knowledge, neither with lessons, nor advice, nor with writings. On the contrary, he is exclusively centered only upon himself. This is without doubt a great loss, even though religious knowledge is one of the most blessed things Allah gives to a servant. One reason for this is that when you teach others and spread this knowledge among people, you are rewarded from several different perspectives:
1. When you spread this religious knowledge, you are spreading the religion of Allah ( عزّ وجلّ ). So you work for the sake of Allah, opening people’s hearts with knowledge.
2. From the blessings of spreading knowledge and teaching it is that by doing so, there is the preservation and protection of Allah’s legislation (religious laws). If it weren’t for the passing on of knowledge, the legislation would not have been preserved.
3. Also from the blessings of spreading knowledge is that when you teach others, you do them a great deal of good. You give them insight into the religion of Allah. And when that person then worships Allah with knowledge and insight, you are rewarded with similar rewards he is given because it was you who directed him towards a particular good deed, and the one who directs another to do something good is just like the one who actually does it. [15]
Also, by spreading and teaching religious knowledge, one’s own knowledge increases. It is known that anyone who teaches a particular knowledge to people, his knowledge in that subject will increase. This is because in teaching, one is recalling what he previously learned and memorized as well as learning new things that he must prepare. To this meaning, there is a famous (Arabic) proverb regarding wealth, “It increases by spending it often, and it decreases if held in a tight fist.” Similarly, if knowledge is withheld and not taught, it will eventually decrease.
Footnotes :
[15] A proof of this is the ḥadīth recorded by Muslim (no. 1893), al-Tirmidhī (no. 2671), Abū Dāwūd (no. 5129), and by Aḥmad in which the prophet ( صلّى الله عليه وسلّم ) said:

Healing with the Qur'an.
Curing Your Heart With the Quran - Weakness of Imaan:
“First you should remove your heart from the life of this world and settle it in the Last Life. Then, pay your full attention to pursuing the meanings of the Quran, and try to comprehend and understand them and what they were sent down to accomplish. Then, offer these meanings to the sickness that your heart feels, and when they touch the disease, they will cure the heart, Allah willing.”
Ibn al-Qayyim (Al-Fawaid).
The Prophetic medicine is not suited except for wholesome bodies, just as the cure of the Qur’an is not suited except for good souls and lively hearts. The people turning away from the Prophetic medicine [in bodily matters] therefore is like them turning away from seeking cure from the Qur’an which is indeed the beneficial cure. And this is not because of any deficiency in the treatment, but due to the vileness of the bodily disposition and corruption of the diseased location and non-acceptance of (the healing capacity)… and Allah is the one who grants success.”

The purpose of seeking knowledge:

✨Advice: How to Set Your State Aright – Imam Ibn al Qayyim رحمه الله
"Let’s strive to be close to Allah.
Let’s long for the dwelling of peace wherein there is no toil, stress or weariness.
The easiest way is to consider the fact that you are passing a period that lies between two other periods, namely your current life, which is the present one and it is between your past and your future.
The past can be set aright through repentance, regret and asking the forgiveness of Allah, and this is a way, which affords you no toil, weariness or hard work, as it is concerned with the heart.
The future can be set aright by abstaining from misdeeds, and this is a means of comfort and relief for you, for it is not a difficult act, but it is an intention that relieves your body, heart, and your mind.
In brief, your past is set aright through repentance; your future is set aright through abstention, determination and intention, which have nothing to do with overburdening the body.
However, our concern here is with the present time as it stands between the two other periods. If you waste it, then you are wasting your happiness and salvation. On the contrary, if you maintain it through setting your past and present aright, indeed you will attain success, salvation, relief, and pleasure.."
Improving your present state is much more difficult than setting your past and your future aright, because it means that you should abide by the most deserving and beneficial deeds to achieve happiness. There are great differences between people in this regard. This is your chance to take the provision for your Hereafter, either Paradise or Hellfire. So, if you take this path to your Lord, you will attain glorious happiness and great success during this short period of time which has no value compared with eternity. However, if you prefer vain desires, idleness, play and amusement, the period would pass quickly, followed by a permanent and great pain, the suffering of which is much more severe than the suffering of patience, the patience required to obey Allah.

Clarification on the statement of Ibn Uthaymeen’s - "The Salafi Sect" Vs. The Way of the Salaf by Dr. Abdulilah Lahmami
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
I asked Dr. Abdulilah Lahmami حفظه الله if what did Shaykh ‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله meant on the Salafi sect. He replied:
❝Yā akhī, this kalām of Shaykh Al-‘Uthaymeen رحمه الله, he mentioned it in front of Shaykh Rabee’, and Shaykh Rabee’ corrected him by saying “Do not put Salafiyyah with all the other groups”, then at the end Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله said “Take from your brother what he has said”. So they have cut it without mentioning the rest of the tape, so they are deceiving people, or they are ignorant Bārakallāhu feek.
Secondly, Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله in 'Aqīdatul Wasitiyyah himself says “Whoever follows the Qur'ān and Sunnah in the understanding Salaf then he is Salafī. [Page 34 Sharh Al-'Aqīdatul Wasitiyyah].
Also my dear brother, Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله i met myself personally, in Hajj time, and mentioned to him about his Kalām regarding, he said what he is against is that you don’t be partisan, thinking that you are saved (Not correcting mistakes), and that’s what he was against, not against ascribing to the way of the Salaf Bārakallāhu feek.
And as I said Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said in volume 4 p.149 bārakallāhu feek, there is no harm in ascribing to the way of the Salaf, and saying I’m a Salafi. They used it in the past, and we use it now. Imām Adh-Dhahabi رحمه الله said in Siyār An-Nubalā, 'Abdullah bin Mubarak As-Salafi. So it’s not an issue Akhī Barakallāhu feek.
And as I said Shaykh Al-'Uthaymeen رحمه الله took it back, when he was corrected by shaykh Rabee’ when Shaykh Rabee’ visited the 'Unayza. So tell this people, stop lying about the Shaykh, or at least know what the Shaykh is saying Bārakallāhu feek.❞ -End Quote
