—shared by beloved brethren. May Allah accept it from them.

One of the righteous said, "I didn't ask Allāh for anything between 'Asr and Maghrib on Friday except that my Lord responded to me up until I felt shy (to ask for more)."

Al Mufadal ibn Fadalah would offer 'Asr on Friday then isolate himself in a corner of the Masjid and continue to supplicate until sunset.
[Akhbār Al Quda (3/238)]

Likewise Sa'eed ibn Jubair would offer the 'Asr prayer and would avoid speaking to others until sunset (i.e. he would busy himself with supplicating)

[Zaad Al Ma'ad (1/382)]

#FridayLastHour

Allah commands the believers in surah al-Nisa':

[يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا كُونُوا قَوَّامِينَ بِالْقِسْطِ شُهَدَاءَ لِلَّهِ وَلَوْ عَلَىٰ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَوِ الْوَالِدَيْنِ وَالْأَقْرَبِينَ ۚ إِن يَكُنْ غَنِيًّا أَوْ فَقِيرًا فَاللَّهُ أَوْلَىٰ بِهِمَا ۖ فَلَا تَتَّبِعُوا الْهَوَىٰ أَن تَعْدِلُوا ۚ وَإِن تَلْوُوا أَوْ تُعْرِضُوا فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ بِمَا تَعْمَلُونَ خَبِيرًا]

O you who have believed, be consistently upholding justice, bearing witness for Allah, even if it is against your own selves or parents or relatives. Whether one is rich or poor, Allah has more right over them. So do not follow desires, lest you not be just. And if you distort or refuse to testify, Allah is intimately aware of what you do. [135]

In his tafsir of this ayah, al-Tabari reported:

[حدثني المثنى قال : حدثنا عبد الله بن صالح قال : حدثني معاوية ، عن علي ، عن ابن عباس قوله : " كونوا قوامين بالقسط شهداء لله ولو على أنفسكم أو الوالدين والأقربين " ، قال : أمر الله المؤمنين أن يقولوا الحق ولو على أنفسهم أو آبائهم أو أبنائهم ، ولا يحابوا غنيا لغناه ، ولا يرحموا مسكينا لمسكنته ، وذلك قوله : " إن يكن غنيا أو فقيرا فالله أولى بهما فلا تتبعوا الهوى أن تعدلوا " ، فتذروا الحق ، فتجوروا . ]

Regarding the phrase, "be consistently upholding justice, bearing witness for Allah, even if it is against your own selves or parents or relatives," ibn 'Abbaas said:

Allah has commanded the believers to tell the truth even if it is against their own selves, their parents or their children, and to not favor a wealthy person due to their wealth or show mercy to a poor person due to their poverty. That is His statement, "hether one is rich or poor, Allah has more right over them. So do not follow desires, lest you not be just," lest they ignore the truth and thus overstep the bounds of what is right.

[Tafsir al-Tabari 9/305]

With nonstop Israeli evacuation orders and no safe place to go, thousands of tents sheltering displaced families are currently crammed along the beach west of Deir el-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.

Anas said that the Prophet ﷺ said:

"Allah will say: 'Remove from the Fire whoever remembered Me one day, or feared Me while in a state of sinning."
