When Death Approached Aboo Dharr (radi Allaahu anhu)

al-Haafiz Abdul-Azeem al-Mundhiree -rahimahullaah- (d. 656 H) said in "at-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb" [1] (The Book of Repentance and Abstention: Chapter (6): An encouragement upon Abstention (Zuhd) with regard to this world, and sufficing with a small amount from it):

“ And from Ibraaheem -meaning al-Ashtar:

That death approached Aboo Dharr, whilst he was at ar-Rabadhah [2], so his wife wept. He said: “What causes you to weep?” She said: “I weep because I cannot do anything for you, and I have no cloth large enough to shroud you in.”

He said: “Do not weep, for I heard Allaah"s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) say one day, [and I was with him, in a group of people]: << A man from amongst you will certainly die in a desert area: a group of the Believers will be present at his funeral. >> He said: “ So everyone who was along with me in that gathering has died within a group of people or separately [3] , and none from them remain except for me; and I am in a part of the desert, dying. So go out and watch the road, for you shall soon see what I say, for, by Allaah! I have not lied, nor have I been lied to.” She said: “ How can that occur, when the people travelling for Hajj have ceased?” He said: “ Watch the road.” He said: So whilst she was doing so, a group of people could be seen moving along quickly upon their riding camels, (looking) as if they were vultures [4]
So the people came, until they stood over her, and said: “What is wrong with you?” She said:“ There is a man of the Muslims for you to shroud, and thus be rewarded for it.” They said: “Who is he?” She said: “Aboo Dharr.” So they declared that may their fathers and mothers be a ransom for him, and they hung their whips upon the necks of their camels, and they hastened to him. So he said:

“Receive glad tidings, for you are the group about whom Allaah"s Messenger (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said what he said. So today I have entered the morning as you see me; and if I had a garment of mine that were sufficient to shroud me in, then I would not be shrouded in anything else besides it. So I implore you, by Allaah, let not a man from amongst you shroud me who has been a chief, a governor, or an official messenger.”

So all of the people had attained something from that, except for a youth from the Ansaar who was with the people. He said: “ I am your companion: there are two garments in my travelling bag that were woven by my mother, and the newest of my garments are these two that I am wearing.” He said: “ You are my companion, [so you shroud me].”

Reported by Ahmad, and the wording is his, and its narrators are the narrators of the "Saheeh"; and by al-Bazzaar -with its like, in abridged form...”. Shaikh al-Albaanee said: "Hasan".

Footnotes:
[1] "Saheehut-Targheeb wat-Tarheeb" (3/295-296/no.3314) of Shaikh al-Albaanee - rahimahullaah, and the additions in square brackets were included by the Shaikh from the original hadeeth in the "Musnad" of Imaam Ahmad.
[2] A village at a distance of three days journey from al-Madeenah, Aboo Dharr -radiyallaahu anhu- took up residence here until his death in 32 H ("Mujamul-Buldaan":1/24).
[3] Shaikh al-Albaanee"s checked edition has the word "furqah"(separately), as occurs in some of the editions of the "Musnad". In other editions of Musnad Ahmad, and in the "Daar ulHadeeth, Cairo edition of "at-Targheeb" there occurs here "qaryah" (a village); and in "alFathur-Rabbaanee" (no. 11, 916) there occurs "rifqah"(amongst companions).
[4] Shaikh al-Albaanee said: “ Perhaps the angle of their resemblance to vultures was on account of their having the dirt of travelling upon them.”

One of my favorite sayings from the Salaf <3
Al-Hasan Al-Basri [رحمه اللّٰه]
When asked 'What is Imaan (faith)?':
“It is perseverance (al-sabr) from the things that are forbidden by Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, and acceptance.” He was asked, “What is perseverance and acceptance?” He replied, “Al-sabr is persevere in holding back from what Allaah has forbidden, and (acceptance is) acceptance of what Allaah, the Mighty and Majestic, has commanded.”

Narrated Abu Huraira(Ra): Allah’s Messenger (peace be upon him) said,

“Whoever has oppressed another person concerning his reputation or anything else, he should beg him to forgive him before the Day of Resurrection when there will be no money (to compensate for wrong deeds)

But if he has good deeds, those good deeds will be taken from him according to his oppression which he has done, and if he has no good deeds, the sins of the oppressed person will be loaded on him.”

Sahih al-Bukhari, Vol. 3, Book 46, Hadith 10

💠The complete man|

💢Imām Al-Buwaytī – Allāh have mercy on him – reports:

💢 I heard Al-Shāfi’ī (Rahimahu'Allah) say:

♨️“A man does not become complete in this life except when he has four [qualities]:

1️⃣ Religiousness (al-diyānah),
2️⃣ Trustworthiness (al-amānah),
3️⃣ Safeguarding [from sin] (al-siyānah) and
4️⃣ Sobriety (al-razānah).”

DONT LOOK DOWN AT PEOPLE
A statement written in ink of gold

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"If Allaah opens for you (gives you success to doing that action) the door of standing for the night prayer then DO NOT look at those who are sleeping with a look of disdain.

And if Allaah opens for you the door of fasting then DO NOT look at those who break their fast with a look of disdain.

And if Allaah opens for you the door of jihad then DO NOT look at those who sit and do not participate with a look of disdain.

Maybe the one who sleeps, breaks his fast and sits is CLOSER to Allaah than you!

Ibn al-Qayyim said: "And indeed that you spent the night sleeping and woke up regretful is BETTER than the one who spent the night standing and woke up admiring himself for indeed the one who admires himself actions are not accepted"

The Prophet: صلى الله عليه و سلم

❝On the Day of Judgement, Allāh will torture those who tortured people in this world.❞

[Sahīh al-Jāmi’, (No. 1900) | Translated By Abū Ruqayyah 'Abd us-Samad]
The Messenger of Allah (sallAllahu 'alayhi wa sallam) said:

"‏ يَا بِلاَلُ أَقِمِ الصَّلاَةَ أَرِحْنَا بِهَا ‏"

"O Bilaal call the iqaamah for the prayer and bring us relief by it."

[Sunan Abu Dawud 4985, Imaam Albaani graded it saheeh]

He also said:

"‏ حُبِّبَ إِلَىَّ النِّسَاءُ وَالطِّيبُ وَجُعِلَتْ قُرَّةُ عَيْنِي فِي الصَّلاَةِ ‏"

"Beloved to me are women and perfume, but the coolness of my eyes (comfort) is in prayer"

[Sunan Nasaa'i 3940,Imaam Albaani graded it hasan]

Imaam ibn Baaz (rahimahullah) said:

لأن المسلم إذا وقف للصلاة إنما يقف أمام خالقه سبحانه وتعالى فيستريح قلبه، وتطمئن نفسه، وتخشع جوارحه، وتقر عينه بربه ومولاه عز وجل

"That is because when the Muslim stands for prayer, he stands in front of his Creator (Exalted and free from all defects) and his heart is relaxed. His self is tranquil and his limbs fear reverentially. And his eyes are cool for his Lord and Protector, ('azza wa jal) "

IMPORTANCE OF LEARNING BOTH: GOOD AND EVIL

Once again 👇👇👇

“The people used to ask Allah’s Messenger ﷺ about the good; but I used to ask him about the evil for fear that it might overtake me..."

-Hudhayfah Ibn al-Yaman (May Allah be pleased with him)
See Sahih al-Bukhari 3606
‘Abdullāh b. Mubārak (raḥīmahullāh) said:

“You are in GREATER need of a little manners than a great deal of knowledge.”

[تاريخ دمشق لابن عساكر ٣٢٩١٨]

Ibn al-Mubārak (raḥīmahullāh) said:

"The Salaf would seek manners and then seek knowledge."

Ghayar al-Nihayah (v. 1, p. 446)
Ibn Qudamah (رحمه الله) said:

"Know that not everyone is suitable to be your friend. You must verify that this potential friend has the necessary characteristics that make friendship with him something to be desired.

The one you seek to befriend must have five characteristics:

🌟INTELLIGENT - He must be intelligent. There is no good in befriending an idiot, as he will only harm you when he wants to benefit you. By intelligent, we mean one he understands things as they are on his own or if they are explained to him.

🌟CHARACTER - He must have good character and manners, and this is a must. One who is simply intelligent might be overcome by anger or desire, and obey his desire. Thus, there would be no benefit in befriending him.

🌟NOT A SINNER -He must not be a fasiq. Such a person would not fear Allah, and whoever does not fear Allah cannot be trusted.

🌟NOT AN INNOVATOR - He must not be a Mubtadhi, as there is a fear of being overtaken by his innovation.

🌟NOT A LOVER OF THE DUNYA - He should not be eager for the dunya."

Da'wah To People Is Better Than Acquiring Worldly Possessions

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : فوالله لأن يهدي الله بك رجلا واحدا خير لك من أن يكون لك حمر النعم

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “By Allāh, if Allāh guides a single person through you; that is BETTER for you than (a whole lot of) red camels.”

● [رواه البخاري ومسلم]

Imām an-Nawawī Raḥimahullāh said regarding the parable of 'red camels' in the narration: “That is because red camels are from the most valuable of properties to the Arabs.”

Sh. 'Alī b. Yaḥyā al-Ḥaddādī Hafiẓahullāh said whilst mentioning the benefits of this Ḥadeeth: “For a single person to be guided at your hands is better for you than owning the treasures of this world for whatever is in this world will PERISH but whatever is with Allāh will REMAIN.”

Hardship Never Lasts

In the Name of Allāh, the Ever Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy

The Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) stated, “If you have no shame then do as you please”
(al-Bukharee)

Shaikh al-Fawzan (حفظه الله تعالى) mentioned in his explanation of this hadith:

“Shame [modesty] is a great characteristic which prevents a person from degraded and lowly affairs that are not befitting of him, as well as evil mannerisms; hence the one who has shame refrains from that which is not befitting”.

📝 Is Black a Must⁉️

Many women choose to wear black, not because it is obligatory, but because it is farthest removed from being an adornment.
There are reports which indicate that the women of the Sahaabah used to wear black. Abu Dawood narrated that Umm Salamah said:
“When the words ‘and to draw their veils all over Juyoobihinna (i.e. their bodies, faces, necks and bosoms)’ [al-Noor 24:31 – interpretation of the meaning] were revealed, the women of the Ansaar went out looking as if there were crows on their heads because of their garments.”

Classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Saheeh Abi Dawood (4101)

The Standing Committee (17/110) said: This is to be understood as meaning that those clothes were black in colour.

The Wisdom Behind the Similarity Between A Believer And A Tree

In this similitude, there are underlying (benefits), affairs of knowledge (related to speech, action etc.) and cognisance. (There are affairs in this similitude) that necessitate knowledge to be spoken about and its wisdom. And from that is:

Indeed, a tree has to have roots, a stem, branches, leaves and fruits; likewise, the tree of Imaan and Islaam conforms in its resemblance to what it is likened to. Its roots are knowledge, cognisance and certainty. Its stem is sincerity and its branches are the actions (of the believer). Its fruits are that which it necessitates of righteous actions pertaining to praiseworthy (deeds), commendable qualities, upright manners, (adherence) to a righteous path, guidance and a pleasant conduct. In the embedment of this tree (of Islaam and Imaan) in the heart and its firmness within it, are derived all these affairs.
