“From the GREATEST forms of kindness towards parents (Birr al-Wālidayn) is to make DŪʿĀ for (Allāh's) Mercy and Forgiveness upon them — be they alive or dead — with the condition that they are or were Muslims..”

Horrors of the Grave

Hudhayfah related: "We were with the Prophet (صلى الله عليه و سلم) at a funeral and when we arrived at the grave [in which the deceased was to be buried] he sat down on its edge and looked repeatedly in it then said: "The believer shall be squeezed in the grave; a squeeze from which his bones will be broken, while the grave of a disbeliever shall be filled with fire." *


Abu Sa'īd al-Khudrī narrated that the Messenger of Allāh (صلى الله عليه و سلم) said: "When a funeral is ready and the men carry the deceased on their necks (shoulders), if it was pious then it will say, 'Present me quickly', and if it was not pious, then it will say, 'Woe to it (me), where are they taking it (me)?' And its voice is heard by everything except mankind and we're they to hear it they would fall unconscious."

“Allaah says: ‘I am as My slave thinks of Me'”
~ Saheeh al-Bukhaari #7405

Shaykh ‘Abd ur-Rahmaan al-‘Ajlaan (hafidhahullaah) comments:

“If he has good thoughts about Allaah, that he will be answered, then he will be answered bi’ithnillaah. But if he says ‘I don’t think I will be answered’ and the like, then he will be deprived of the answer – and refuge is sought in Allaah – because he did not have good thoughts of his Lord.”

🔹Sufyān b. ‘Uyainah

It used to be said, ‘For you to have a righteous enemy is better than a wicked friend.

A righteous enemy will be prevented by his faith from wronging you & harming you in way that you detest.

As for a wicked friend, then he doesn’t care how he harms you.’

Sufyaan Ath-Thawree said:

“Three qualities are from patience: (a) not speaking about your misfortune, (b) (not speaking about) your pain, and (c) not praising yourself.”

[Al-Hilyah, 6/389]

On the authority of Abdullaah bin ‘Amroo bin Aas in a narration ascribed to the Prophet [ﷺ]:

❝Be merciful, and you will have mercy upon you. Forgive and Allaah will forgive you. Woe be to the one who listens like a funnel [does not act upon what he’s told nor cares]. Woe be to those who are openly sinful, and they openly sin even though they know what they have done is wrong.❞

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of al-Albāni, (No. 482) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

Al-Hāfiż Salamah ibn Dīnar said:

“Every blessing that does not bring you closer to Allâh is [really] a calamity.”

[Tahdhib Al-Kamal (11/275)]

Shaykh ibn ‘Uthaimeen رحمه الله said:

“Good deeds, good manners and kind treatment conquer the hearts of enemies more than swords conquer them!”

THREE PEOPLE TO STAY AWAY FROM

The companion ʿAlī ibn ʾAbi Ṭalib (may Allah be pleased with him) said:

"Do not be with the sinner, for he will beautify to you the things he does, and he will want you to be like him; and he will beautify to you the worst of his practices; and his entrance upon you and leaving from your company will cause ignominy and discredit [of you].

And do not accompany the fool, for he will exhaust himself [to help you] but will not benefit you, and he may want to benefit you but end up harming you; his silence is better than his speaking, his distance is better than his closeness, and him dying is better than him living.

And do not accompany the liar, for life will not benefit you with him, he will tell others what you say, and tell you what others say; and if you speak the truth, it will not be believed."

- Abū Bakr Al-Daynūrī, Al-Mujālasah wa Jawāhir AlʿIlm no. 1379.

When people who had suffered affliction (harm, calamities) are given their reward...

Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihi wasallam) said,

"On the Day of Resurrection, when people who had suffered affliction (harm, calamities) are given their reward, those who were healthy will wish their skins had been cut to pieces with scissors when they were in the world."

as-Silsilah al-Saheehah (no. 2206)

'You Only Know Someone When You Have Travelled With Them'

Umar Ibn Al-Khattab رضي الله عنه asked about a man who had given testimony, wanting to find out whether anyone could vouch for him.

A man said to him: "I will vouch for him, O' Ameer Al-Mu'mineen (Leader of the Believers)."

Umar asked: "Are you his neighbor?"

He said: "No."

Umar then asked: "Did you mix with him for a day and come to know his character?"

He said: "No."

Umar asked next: "Did you travel with him for traveling and being away from home reveal a man's true essence?"

He said: "No."

Umar said: "Perhaps you saw him in the mosque, standing, sitting and praying?"

He said: "Yes."

Umar then said: Go away, for YOU DO NOT KNOW HIM."

[Reported by Al-Bayhaqi and classed as Sahih by Al-Albani in Irwaa' Al-Ghaleel; 2637]

Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said: “Intention by itself without action is rewarded for, whilst action without intention is not rewarded for.”

● [Mukhtasir Fataawaa al-Misriyyah p.12]

Imām ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

“Within the heart there is hardness which can only be softened with the remembrance of Allāh, may He be exalted. Therefore the servant [of Allāh] must treat the hardness of his heart with the remembrance of Allāh, may He be exalted.”

Al-Wābil as-Sayyib | Page 71 | Imām ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله

TN: For clarity, the literal word يذيبها means to liquify i.e. to become liquid or make something become liquid. The word soften is an antonym of hardened therefore we deem it more appropriate to use softened rather than melt or liquify.

*The Disease of this Ummah and its Doctor*

Abu Musa reported:
The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “Verily, the parable of a good friend and a bad friend is only that of a seller of musk and a blacksmith. The seller of musk will give you some perfume, you will buy some, or you will notice a good smell. As for the blacksmith, he will burn your clothes or you will notice a bad smell.”

When Imam al-Hasan al-Basri came across a group of people arguing, he would say:

"These ones have become tired of worship, speaking has become easy for them, and their Taqwa has diminished, and that is why they talk and argue so easily."

(Az-Zuhd of Imaam Ahmad, p. 272)

Ibn Mas’ood رضي الله عنه said,

“Know the people by their friends. The Muslim follows the Muslim and the faajir (disobedient one) accompanies the faajir.”

And he said,

“Verily a man only walks and accompanies one whom he loves and who is like him.”

He also said,

“Know the people by their friends, since a man only befriends one whom he admires and who is like himself.”
