Wahab said : ' A man devoted himself on the worship of Allaah for 50 years, so Allaah favoured him: ' I have forgiven you.'
The man said: ' My Lord, what did you forgive ? I never committed a sin.' Allaah caused a pain in his neck, as a result of which he was unable to sleep or pray. Then it stopped, and he was able to sleep. After that an angel visited him and the man complained about the suffering he went through in the pain of his neck. The Angel said:' Your Lord says: "Your worship of 50 years is equal to the relief of the pain in your neck"'.

( Uddat al-Sabirin wa Dhakhirat al-Shakirin p-193 Darussalam English translation )

Sa'eed b. Jubayr رحمه الله said:
“The first ones to be called towards Jannah are those who praise Allāh in every condition, in happiness and in distress.”

What Is The Medicine For The Heart

Ibn al-Qayyim [رحمه الله] said:

«فإن دواءه في مخالفة الهوى وذلك أصعب شيء على النفس وليس لها أنفع منه.»

❝Medicine for the heart is to oppose whims and desires and that is the most difficult matter upon the soul and there is nothing more beneficial for it than this.❞

[Ighaatha al-Lahafaan, (1/69) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

*#Obedience*

*► PROPHET MUHAMMAD (ﷺ) said:*

لاَ طَاعَةَ فِي مَعْصِيَةِ اللَّهِ إِنَّمَا الطَّاعَةُ فِي الْمَعْرُوفِ

اللہ تعالیٰ کی نافرمانی ہوتی ہو تو کسی کی اطاعت جائز نہیں۔ صرف اطاعت اچھے کاموں میں ہے۔

There is no obedience if it involves disobedience towards Allah;
Obedience is only in that which is right and proper.

~Using Olive Oil~

It was narrated from "Umar that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:

"Season (your food) with olive oil and anoint yourselves with it, for it comes from a blessed tree."

Living the Dream

It is reported that Yūnus b. ‘Ubayd (d. 139H) – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

I only liken the worldly life (dunyā) to a man who, whilst sleeping, sees in his dream things he likes and things he does not like. Then he wakes up (the world ends and the next life starts).

Ibn Abī Al-Dunyā, Dham Al-Dunyā article 21.

Ibrāhīm bin Habīb bin Shahīd stated: My father said to me:

Oh my son, go to the jurists and Scholars and learn from them. Take from their manners and character. Indeed that's more beloved to me than (you learning) many Hadīth.

The reward is doubled!

‎Ibn Rajab - رحمه الله - said:

Knowledge is not about narrating a lot but it is about Taqwa (piety).

Chapter: One should appeal to Allah with determination.

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "None of you should say: 'O Allah, forgive me if You wish; O Allah, be merciful to me if You wish,' but he should always appeal to Allah with determination, for nobody can force Allah to do something against His Will."
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ، عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏ "‏ لاَ يَقُولَنَّ أَحَدُكُمُ اللَّهُمَّ اغْفِرْ لِي، اللَّهُمَّ ارْحَمْنِي، إِنْ شِئْتَ‏.‏ لِيَعْزِمِ الْمَسْأَلَةَ، فَإِنَّهُ لاَ مُكْرِهَ لَهُ ‏"‌‏.‏

*Money will not Buy You Happiness | Shaykh bin Baaz -may Allah have mercy upon him-*

Questioner: The questioner seeks an explanation to the noble verse in Soorah Taha
"But whosoever turns away from My remembrance verily, for him is a life of hardship, and We shall raise him up blind on the Day of Resurrection." He will say: "O my Lord! Why have you raised me up blind, while I had sight (before)." [Allah] will say, "Thus did Our signs come to you, and you forgot them; and thus will you this Day be forgotten.”
[Soorah Taha 20:124-126]
Does this verse apply to every person who is heedless of the remembrance of Allah?

Shaykh bin Baaz:
This is a severe threat to the person who turns away from the remembrance of Allah and turns away from His obedience, thus he does not give Allah His rights. This is his recompense. He will have a restricted difficult life, even if he has a great deal of wealth and riches. His life will be made difficult due to the distress, pain, and hardship that befalls his heart. Thus his great wealth will not benefit him. He will be in distress and hardship due to his turning away from the remembrance of Allah and His obedience. Then he will be resurrected on the Day of Judgement blind.
The intent is this applies to the person who turns away from the obedience of Allah the Exalted, and His rights. He does not give concern to the commands of Allah, rather he commits actions which He has prohibited, and leaves off obeying Him. This is his recompense. We ask Allah for safety and security.

Ibn Taymiyyah

It’s not allowed for anyone to lose hope in Allaah’s Mercy, even if his sins are very great.

[Majmoo’ al-Fatawa (v.16, p.19)]

(https://twitter.com/SalafiIbnSalaf/status/1017103665738502159?s=03)

A man said to al-Hasan al-Basri Rahmatullahi Alayhi : “O Abu Sa’eed, I am complaining to you of the hardness of my heart." He said: “Soften it with dhikr. The more forgetful the heart is, the harder it becomes, but if a person remembers Allah , the hardness softens as copper melts in the fire. Nothing can soften the hardness of the heart like the remembrance of Allah , may He be glorified and exalted. Dhikr is healing and medicine for the heart. Forgetfulness is a disease, the cure for which is remembrance of Allah ." ●[Al-Wabil as-Sayyib, Ibn al-Jawzi, 142]

This worldly life only impresses those with no intellect, similar to how vain dreams please the sleeper; imaginary games are perceived as reality by a child, whereas a sensible person cannot be deceived by such delusion.

• Ibn al-Jawzi; Seeds of admonishment and reform, Ibn al-Jawzi, Page 60

Sa’d said:

“The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:

‘The call of Dhoo’l-Noon [Yoonus/Jonah], which he recited when he was in the belly of the fish, ‘La ilaaha illa anta subhaanaka innee kuntu min al-zaalimeen. There is no Muslim who recites this in any situation, but Allaah will respond to him.”

(Reported by al-Tirmidhi, 3427, and classed as saheeh in Saheeh al-Jaami’, 3383).

Ibn al-Qayyim said:

"If you knew the true value of yourself, you would never allow yourself to be humiliated by committing sins.

When Iblīs refused to bow to your father 'Adam, he refused to bow to you, so why have you become his friend and left us?

If there was any love in your heart, its effect would appear on your body."
