Al-Haafiz Abū ‘Umar Yoosuf Ibn ‘Abdil-Barr [رحمه الله] said, Al-Khaleel Ibn Ahmad [رحمه الله] said:

❝I never heard anything except that I wrote it down, and I never wrote anything down except that I memorized it, and I never memorized anything except that it benefited me.❞

Sh Ibn Bāz:

A person may find that the paths before him are difficult and when he has needs, doors are closed in his face.

Piety (Taqwa) is the key to these difficulties and the means for them to be made easy. As Allāh said:

💫 The wisdom behind saying, "La Hawla Wa-La Quwwata Illa Billah" when the Mu'adhin says, "Hayya Ala Al-Salah" and "Hayya Ala Al-Falah
❆━━━━━━━❃━━━━━━━❆
The wisdom behind that saying is that man is weak by nature. He has no ability to move from a condition to another except with the help of Allah. Even his going to Salah in congregation needs the help and power of Allah. A servant of Allah has no might or power except with Allah. He realizes that he is weak, powerless, and unable to answer this call unless Allah helps him Alone. Therefore, upon hearing that call, he says: “La Hawla Wala Quwwata Illa Billah”.

Imam Al-Qurtubi رحمه الله :

"May Allāh have mercy upon the Salaf, they overstated when giving this piece of advice to those with intelligent brains:

"No matter how much you play around, Do not dare play with your religion!"

[Al-Jāami' Li-Ahkām Al-Qur'ān - 11/25]

Imam Malik [رحمه الله] said:

*❝Indeed there are people who desired worship, but neglected knowledge so they rebelled against the Ummah of Muhammad [ﷺ] with their swords, and if they had desired knowledge then it would have prevented them from rebelling.❞*

[Miftah Dar As-Sa'ada, (1/119) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya]

🌺 When Allaah takes charge of your affairs, He will make everything subjected (for your benefit) even if you see it as something impossible.

﴿قُلْنَا يَا نَارُ كُونِي بَرْدًا وَسَلَامًا عَلَىٰ إِبْرَاهِيمَ﴾

{We (Allaah) said: "O fire! Be you coolness and safety for Ibraaheem!"}
📚[Surah al-Anbiyaa (21): 69]

﴿وَلَقَدْ آتَيْنَا دَاوُودَ مِنَّا فَضْلًا ۖ يَا جِبَالُ أَوِّبِي مَعَهُ وَالطَّيْرَ ۖ وَأَلَنَّا لَهُ الْحَدِيدَ﴾

{And indeed We bestowed grace on Dawood from Us (saying): "O you mountains. Glorify (Allaah) with him! And you birds (also)! And We made the iron soft for him."}
📚 [Surah Saba' (34): 10]

Muhammad bin Sālih Al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله stated:

"Be firm and do not change due to the abundance of attacks against you or the revilement of your speech so long as you are upon the truth. Be firm, for it's not possible for the truth to be budged."

[Sharh An-Nūniyyah 3/270]

Ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله

" Truth is always Victorious, Superior and Increasing. And the Falsehood is in Decline, Inferior and Ending."


[الفتاوى 28 / 656]

Alī Ibn Abu Talīb رضي الله عنه said;

The likeness of this worldly life (dunyâ) is that of a snake: soft to the touch, it will kill you with its poison. So turn away from what impresses you of it, since what stays with you is so little. And do not be concerned about it, since you are certain about its parting. And be most happy in it when you are most heedful of it; for every time its companion takes solace in one of its delights, it gives way to one of its woes.

Ibn Abî Al-Dunyâ, Kitâb Al-Zuhd article 164.

Shaykh al-Islām Imām ibn Taymiyyah رحمه الله said:

" The origin of Religion is to enjoin what is Right and forbid what is Wrong.

Sufyan at-Thawri said: “We have nothing better in this religion and world than a trustworthy brother.”

Shaykh Saalih Ibn Fawzaan Al-Fawzaan (hafidhahullaah 'ala as-Sunnah) said: "As long as you are upon the truth, then don't worry about the words of people and the mukhadhileen(those who for sake the people of truth). However, if you are upon error, then (leave it and) return to the truth even if the people praised you (for your error)! ...Even if they praised you and encouraged you (for your error)! Don't be deceived or deluded by this!" [Sharh Fat-h Al-Majeed (24th of Rabee'-al-Awal, 1439H)]

Abdullaah Ibn Mas'ood (radiAllaahu 'anhu) narrated: The Messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Whoever has an atom's worth of pride in his heart will not enter Paradise." So a man asked: "What about a person who loves wearing beautiful clothes and beautiful shoes?" So he (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: "Indeed, Allaah is All-Beautiful and loves beauty. Pride is to reject the truth, and to look down on the people." [Muslim (no. 91)]

Imaam Ibn Battah (d. 387H, rahimahullaah) said: "He who heard the truth and denied it after his knowledge of it, then he is from those arrogant to Allaah, and he who aids error (misguidance), then he is from Hizb ash-Shaytaan (the party of Satan)!" [Al-Ibaanah (2/54)]

Shaykh Humood at-Tuwayjiree (rahimahullaah) said: "Every honor that is not the result of giving victory to the truth is in fact a niqma (an affliction or istidraaj) on its bearer." [الـقـول
الـمحـرر(٨٨)]

The messenger of Allaah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said:

“If you would trust in Allaah as he truly should be trusted in, he would surely provide for you as he provides for the birds.

They set out in the morning with empty stomachs and return in the evening with full stomachs.”

(Musnad Imam Ahmad, Ibn Majah 4164, Tirmidhi 2344. Authenticated by Shaykh Al-Albani, As-Saheehah 310)

WHEN IN FEAR OF AFFLICTING SOMETHING OR SOMEONE WITH YOUR EYES

Say:
"Allahuma barik' Alayhi.

The Prophet ﷺ said;
" if you see anything of your brother that pleases you, or of his person or property (then Ask Allaàh to bless him in it) for the envious (evil)eye is real.."

Qatādah رضي الله عنه said;

*Verily the Qurān guides you to your disease and your treatment: as for your disease, it is your sins; and as for your treatment, it is to seek the forgiveness of Allāh.*

A Bad Reputation Can Hinder Your Rights❗️

Shaykh Attiyatullāh Al-Libi said:

"Alot of the truth (or rights) that one may hold (or call for), is very much hindered and impeded by ill-manners and bad attitude".

📚Majmooū' Al-A'māl Al-Kāmilah - p.551

Commentary:

This also applies when an individual has a bad reputation amongst the people. He may call to an honourable or righteous cause, yet the masses will not support him. Rather, they will find it difficult to do so because of the bad reputation he holds.

The Last Drops of this World – Sayings of the Salaf – Sahih Muslim

Khâlid b. ‘Umayr Al-’Adawî reports, ‘Utbah b. Ghazwân – Allâh be pleased with him – once gave us a sermon. He praised Allâh, then said:

The life of this world has announced its departure and is quickly turning away, and nothing remains of it save the likes of the last drop of water in a vessel as its possessor tries to catch it. You are moving on to an abode that has no end, so move on with the best [deeds] that you have. For it has been said to us that a rock can be dropped from the edge of Hell and fall for seventy years without reaching the bottom. Yet, by Allâh, it will be filled. Do you not then wonder? And it has been said to us that a single entrance to Paradise is as wide as a journey of forty years, yet there will come a day when it will be crowded.

I have seen myself as the seventh of seven [followers of] Allâh’s Messenger – Allâh’s peace and blessings be upon him; we had no food save the leaves of trees which put sores round our mouths. I once got a cloak
which I tore in half to share with Sa’d b. Mâlik: I used half as my waist-wrap and he used the other. And yet today, there is not one of us except he has become a governor over some city – and I seek refuge with Allâh that I consider myself great and important when I am small in front of Allâh. Verily there was never prophet-hood except that it gradually changed until it ended up being a kingship, and verily you will see what the governors after us are like.

Narrated Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri رضي الله عنه

Some Ansari persons asked for (something) from Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) (peace be upon him) and he gave them. They again asked him for (something) and he again gave them. And then they asked him and he gave them again till all that was with him finished. And then he said "If I had anything. I would not keep it away from you. (Remember) Whoever abstains from asking others, Allah will make him contented, and whoever tries to make himself self-sufficient, Allah will make him self-sufficient. And whoever remains patient, Allah will make him patient. Nobody can be given a blessing better and greater than patience."

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ اللَّيْثِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ نَاسًا مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ سَأَلُوا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، ثُمَّ سَأَلُوهُ فَأَعْطَاهُمْ، حَتَّى نَفِدَ مَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ مَا يَكُونُ عِنْدِي مِنْ خَيْرٍ فَلَنْ أَدَّخِرَهُ عَنْكُمْ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَعْفِفْ يُعِفَّهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَسْتَغْنِ يُغْنِهِ اللَّهُ، وَمَنْ يَتَصَبَّرْ يُصَبِّرْهُ اللَّهُ، وَمَا أُعْطِيَ أَحَدٌ عَطَاءً خَيْرًا وَأَوْسَعَ مِنَ الصَّبْرِ ‏"‌‏.‏
