THE FIVE SONS OF IBLEES !!!
Mujahid (Rahimahullah) said:
Iblees has five sons, he appointed each of them on one of his affairs. Their names are:
1. Thabr
2. Al-A'war
3. Musawwat
4. Dasim
5. Zulunbur
• As for Thabr, he is responsible for calamities. He orders people to rip their clothes, slap their cheeks and make the call of ignorance when stricken by calamity.
• Al-A'war is responsible for fornication. He beautifies it and orders others to commit it.
• As for Musawwat, he is responsible for lies. He hears the news and transfers it to someone else, who in turn, goes to a gathering of people and tells them: I met a person whose face I know but I do not know his name. He told me such and such.
• Dasim shows a wife’s faults to her husband and makes him angry with them.
• And Zulunbur is responsible for the market place. He sticks his flag therein.
[Ibn Abi al-Dunya in Maka'd al-Shaytan, 54/35]

A man once came to Al-Hasan al-Basri and complained to him:
“The sky does not shower us with rain.” He replied: “Seek Allah’s forgiveness (i.e. say ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ ).”
Then another person came to him and said,
“I complain of poverty.”
He replied:
“Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”
Then another person came to him and complained,
“My wife is barren; she cannot bear children.
” He replied:
“Seek Allah’s forgiveness.”
The people who were present, said to al-Hasan: “Everytime a person came to you complaining, you instructed them to Only to seek Allah’s forgiveness?”
Al-Hasan al-Basri said, “Have you not read the statement of Allah?
“Ask forgiveness of your Lord. Truly He is Oft-Forgiving. He will send rain to you in abundance; increase you in wealth and children; grant you gardens and bestow on you rivers.”‘” [Nuh (71):10-12]
There are two things in the earth that give a person safety and security from the punishment of Allah.
The first has been removed, whilst the second still remains.
As for the first, it was the Messenger of Allah ( ﺻﻠﻲ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ ﻋﻠﻴﻪ ﻭ ﺳﻠﻢ ).“Allah would not punish them while you were among them.” [al-Anfal (8):33]
As for the second, it is istighfar. “Allah would not punish them as long as they sought forgiveness.” [al-Anfal (8):33] ﺃﺳﺘﻐﻔﺮ ﺃﻟﻠﻪ …
Prophet Muhammad (Sallallaahu 'Alayhi Wa Sallam) said, “If anyone continually asks forgiveness, Allah will appoint for him a way out of every distress, relief from anxiety, and will provide for him from where he never realized.”

Question:
Which of the two are better; the intention or the action?
Answer:
((The intention of the believer is better than his action)) – This has been said by more than one person, and some of them raise it, so the clarification of this is from a number of angles:
Firstly: that the mere intention by itself without action is rewarded for, whilst action without intention is not rewarded for
Secondly: Whosoever sees a good, and acts it out as far as one is able to, but could not complete it – then he has the reward of the one who carried it out, due to his saying ('alaihis salaatu was salaam): ((Indeed present in Al-Madeenah there are men, you did not march along the way, and nor did you traverse a valley – except that they were with you…)) (reported by Muslim)
Thirdly: The heart is king of the body, and the body parts are his soldiers, so if the king has with himself goodness then likewise his soldiers will likewise have goodness, and if he is corrupt, then they likewise are corrupted, and so the intention is the actions of the king.
Fourthly: The repentance of the one weak against sins is correct with Ahl us Sunnah, as is the repentance of the eunuch from fornication, as is the repentance of the speechless one from false accusation, and the root of repentance is: determination of the heart.
Fifthly: Corruption does not enter into the intention, since its very foundation is love of Allaah and His Messenger, and the seeking of Allaah’s face; this in itself is something loved by Allaah and His Messenger, and pleasing to Allaah and His Messenger. Whilst in the outward actions many missed opportunities can appear in them, for this reason the actions of the hearts alone are better than the actions of the body alone, as it is said: “The strength of the believer lies in his heart, and his weakness is in his body” and the hypocrite is the opposite of this, and Allaah knows best.

ON OBESITY; REACTION OF UMAR (RA)⬇⬇⬇
🔹Umar Ibn al-KHATTAB's advice
Here is 'Umar giving advice on staying fit and healthy and also on avoiding harming people with your sickness.🔹
🔹His concern for the people's health
'Umar was concerned about the people's health. He would warn them against the consquences and dangers of being fat, and would advise them to lose weight, because that would give them strenth to strive and enable them to fulfil their duties. He used to say: " O' people, beware of eating too much, for it makes you lazy in prayer, is bad for your body and causes sickness. Allah hates the fat man. Rather you should be moderate in your eating, for that is closer to righteousness and farther removed from extravagance, and makes one stronger to worship Allah. No person will be doomed unless he gives precedence to his desires over his religious committment."[1]🔹
🔹Ibn al-Jawzi stated that 'Umar saw a man with a huge belly and said: "What is this?" He said, "A blessing from Allah." He said, "Rather it is a punishment from Allah."[2]🔹
🔹UMAR ra used to emphasize the importance of exercise, horsemanship and horseback riding. He used to say: "Teach your children swimming and archery, and train them to be proficient on horseback, and teach them some beautiful poetry."[4]
"Do not make the religion dead"🔹

💥Zakariyah was _sawn in half_, and Yahya was slaughtered _due to it_.
💥Ayyub suffered _great distress_, while Dawood _cried_ copiously, and ‘Isaa cured the wretched poor of their diseases and walked with wild beasts _due to it_.

Taking Knowledge in Stages
It is reported that Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said to Yūnus b. Yazīd:
O Yūnus! Do not try to overcome knowledge, for verily knowledge is [like vast] valleys: whichever of them you take will stop you before you traverse it. Instead, take it over the days and nights. And do not take knowledge all at once, for whoever tries to take it all at once will lose it all at once. Rather take it bit by bit over the days and nights.
Ibn ʿAbd Al-Barr, Jāmiʿ Bayān Al-ʿIlm article 652.
