advice for a lifetime

Ibn Mas’ood RadiAllaahu‘anhu said, “Certainty in Faith (Yaqeen) is that you do not make the people happy by angering Allaah, and that you do not envy anyone for that which Allaah has provided, and that you do not blame anyone for something which Allaah has not given you. Since provision will not be brought on by a persons craving after it, nor will it be repelled by a person’s disliking it. ndeed Allaah through His Justice has made joy and happiness dependent upon having certain faith and contentment, and He has made worries and sorrows spring from doubt and displeasure.

Fifty Authentic Hadeeth with great virtues, Alhamdulillaah:

Gaining (Great) Rewards
The Hadeeth of the Prophet which were chosen for their Great Rewards for easy actions

Hadeeth taken from ‘Saheeh al-Kalima at-Tayib’, by Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah

Checked by: Muhammad Nassirud-Deen al-Albaani

Compiled by: Hajaj bin Abdullaah al-Areeni

Translated by: Abbas Abu Yahya

1- The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said : Whoever says :
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَه،ُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد،ُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, to Him belongs the Dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is capable of all things.’ –
La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer one hundred times in one day, then it is equivalent to, him freeing ten slaves, and a hundred good deeds are written for him, and a hundred bad deeds are erased, and it is a protection for him against shaytaan during that day until the evening, and no one comes with a better deed than him except for the man who does more actions than him.

2 – The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said: Whoever says : -
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
‘Far is Allaah from imperfection and praise is for Him’
Subhana allaahi wa bihamdihi
one hundred times in one day, then his mistakes / sins are cancelled out, even if they are like the foam on the ocean.

3 – The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
There are two words which are gentle on the tongue, heavy on the scales , and beloved to ar-Rahmaan : -
: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ ، سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ.
‘Far is Allaah from imperfection and praise is for Him, Far is Allaah The Sublime from imperfection
Subhana allaahi wa bihamdihi, Subhana allaahil atheem

4 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Indeed that I say :
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ
‘Far is Allaah from imperfection, and praise be to Allaah, and there is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest,’
Subhana allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar - is more beloved to me than what the sun rose upon.

5 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Is one of you so weak that he cannot acquire a thousand good deeds everyday? So a questioner from amongst those sitting there asked him : How can anyone of us gain a thousand rewards?
He said : say :
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ
Far is Allaah from imperfection –
Subhana allaahi
a hundred times, so a thousand good deeds are written for him or a thousand sins are cancelled for him.

6 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Shall I not inform you of a statement, which is a treasure from the treasures of Paradise? I said : yes O Messenger of Allaah, may my father & mother be sacrificed for you! He said : say :
لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ
There is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah.
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaa

7 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Whosoever, reaches the morning & reaches the evening and he says :
سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ
- ‘Allaah is far from imperfection and all praise is for Him’ –
Subhana allaahi wa bihamdihi
one hundred times, then no one brings anything better than him on the day of judgment, than what he has brought. Except the one who says what he has said, or has said more than him.

8 – On the authority of Mu’aad bin Abdillaah ibn Khubayb on the authority of his father who said we went out on a very dark and rainy night searching for the Messenger of Allaah so that he could pray for us, then I found him and he صَلَّى اللَّه عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said : Recite. So I did not say anything, then he said : Recite. So I did not say anything, and he said : Recite, so I said : what should I recite? He said : recite :
"قُلْ هُوَ اللَّهُ أَحَدٌ"
‘Say that Allaah is the One.’ And the last two soorahs (al-muawaathatayan) in the evening and the morning, three times for it will suffice you for everything.

9 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Indeed the major supplication for forgiveness is to say
اللَّهُمَّ أَنْتَ رَبِّي لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ خَلَقْتَنِي وَأَنَا عَبْدُكَ وَأَنَا عَلَى عَهْدِكَ وَوَعْدِكَ مَا اسْتَطَعْتُ أَعُوذُ بِكَ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا صَنَعْتُ أَبُوءُ لَكَ بِذَنْبِي وَأَبُوءُ لَكَ بِنِعْمَتِكَ عَلَيَّ فَاغْفِرْ لِي فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ
O Allaah You are my Lord, there is none worthy of worship in truth except You, You created me and I am Your slave and I am abiding to Your covenant and promise as best as I can, I seek refuge in You from the evil that I have committed, I profess to you my sins and I acknowledge Your favour upon me, so forgive me verily no one forgives sins except you.
Allaahumma anta rabbee, la ilaha illa anta, Khalaqtanee, wa ana abduka, wa ana ala ahdika wa wa’dika mastata’tu, a’outhu bika min sharri ma sanatu, aboo’u laka bini’matika alayya, wa aboo’u bitahmbee, faghfirlee fa’innahu la yaghfiru ath-thunooba ‘illa ‘anta
so if the worshipper says this when the morning arrives, truly believing in it and he dies enters Paradise, and if he says this when the evening arrives truly believing in it enters Paradise.

10 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
There is not one from amongst the worshippers, that if he says, in the morning of everyday an the evening of every night : -
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
In the name of Allaah with whose name nothing is harmed what so ever, on this earth nor in the heavens, and He is the All Hearing and All Knowing
Bismil-lahil-lathee la yadhurru ma’a ‘issmihi shay’un fil ‘ardhi wa la fissama’i wa huwa ‘as-samee’ul –‘aleem
three times nothing harms him what so ever.

11 – On the authority of Abu Huraira may Allaah be pleased with him, some one came to him to take from the charity – which the Prophet - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – had placed Abu Huraira to look after, and this person came night after night, so on the third night Abu Huraira said to him : I will take you to the Messenger of Allaah. So he said Why don’t you leave me and I will teach you some words that Allaah will benefit you by - and Abu Huraira was of those who were very attentive regarding good deeds – so that the person said to him: When you go to bed, read Ayaat ul-Kursi:
(الله لا إلهَ إلا هُوَ الحيُ القَيُومَ )
(( Allaah, none has the right to be worshipped except Him The Ever living, The One Who sustains and protects all that exists ))
until the end of the ayat, then this will continue to be a protection for you from Allaah, and shaytan will not be able to come near you until the morning arrives. The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said: He spoke the truth even though he is a liar, [ that was shaytan].

12 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Who ever recites the last two Ayaat from Soorah al-Baqara at night, those two verses will be sufficient for him.

13 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Shall I not show what will be better for you than a servant? If you lie down on your bed, then say SubhanAllaah 33 times, and say al-hamdulillaah 33 times, and say Allaahu akbar 34 times.

14 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Who ever wakes up at night, and says : -
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَه،ُ لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْد،ُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ،الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ ،وَ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ ، وَلَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَاللَّهُ أَكْبَرُ ،وَ لَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ العليِ الْعَظِيمِ.
‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is capable of all things, praise is for Him, and Far is Allaah from imperfection, and There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah, and Allaah is the Greatest, there is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah the Most High the ‘Atheem.’ (Supreme)

La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer, Subhana allaahi, wal hamdu lillaahi, wa la illaah ila Allaah, wa Allaahu akbar
La hawla wa la quwwata illa billaahi 'alial adheem
Then he says: اللهمَ اغْفِرْلي O Allaah forgive me, or he supplicates and his supplication is answered, and if he makes wudu and he pray then his prayer is accepted.

15- The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Who ever goes to bed with purification….there is not a hour of the night that he asks Allaah for something of good from this world and the hereafter, except that Allaah grants him that which he asked for.

16 – Abu Salma said that he heard Abu Qatada say that he heard the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – say:
A good dream is from Allaah and a bad dream is from shaytaan, so if anyone sees something in his dream which he dislikes, then he should spit on his left side 3 times when he awakens, and he should seek refuge with Allaah from its evil, then it will not harm him if Allaah so wills.

17 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
A good dream is from Allaah, so if any one of you sees something in his dream that he likes, then he should not relate it to anyone except the one whom he loves, and if he sees that which he dislikes, then he should not relate it to anyone, rather he should spit on his left side 3 times, and he should seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of the accursed shaytaan, and the evil of what he saw, then it will not harm him.

18- The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Our Lord –tabarak wa ta’ala descends every night to the lowest heavens, when there remains the last third part of the night, and He says whoever supplicates to me so that I may answer his supplication, whoever asks of me so that I may grant him what he asks for, whoever seeks my forgiveness so that I may forgive him.

19 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Indeed there is an hour from the night, which if a Muslim asks Allaah in that time from the good of the affairs of this world and the hereafter, then Allaah gives him of it, and that is in every night.

20 – On the authority of Abu Huraira that the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Whoever says, as he leaves from his house:
بِسْمِ اللَّهِ ، تَوَكَّلْتُ عَلَى اللَّهِ ،ولَا حَوْلَ وَلَا قُوَّةَ إِلَّا بِاللَّهِ تعالى
In the name of Allaah, I have placed my trust in Allaah, and there is no capability nor is there any power except with Allaah Ta ála
Bismillaahi tawwakaltu al 'alaahi wa la hawla wa la quwwata illa billahi,
then it is said to him: indeed you have been saved, and you have been protected, and you have been guided, and shaytaan has been kept away from him, so another shaytaan says: how can you affect a man who has indeed been guided and saved and been protected?

21 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
If a man enters his home, and he remembers Allaah when he enters and when he eats his food, the shaytaan says: there is no place for you to spend the night nor is there any dinner, and if he does not remember Allaah when he enters his house then the shaytaan says: you have found a place to spend the night and if he does not remember Allaah while he is eating his food then he says you have found food to eat.

22 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
O my son if you enter your home then say salaams it will be a blessing for you and your family.

23 – When the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – would enter the masjid he would say :
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِوَجْهِهِ الْكَرِيمِ وَسُلْطَانِهِ الْقَدِيمِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
- I seek refuge with Allaah The Supreme and with His Noble Face, and His eternal authority from the accursed shaytaan –
A’outhu bil-lahil ‘atheemi, wa bi-wajhihil-kareem, wa bi-sultanihil-qadeem min ‘ash-shaytanir-rajeemi
then he said: if he says this supplication then the shaytaan says: this person has been protected from me for the rest of the day.

24 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
If the people knew what was there (in benefit for them) in the adhaan and praying in the front row, and they could not get to it except by drawing lots, then they would draw lots.

25- The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
There is none from the jinn, mankind and anything else that hears the reach of the muaddhin’s (the caller to pray) voice, except that they will testify for him on the day of Resurrection.

26 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
If you hear the muaddhin, then repeat what he says, then send prayers upon me, since indeed the one who sends prayers upon me once, Allaah sends ten prayers upon him, then ask Allaah for me to be an intercessor since it is a high station in Paradise which is not befitting except for a servant from the servants of Allaah, and I hope that I am the one, so whoever asks [Allaah for] intercession for me then intercession will take place for him.

27 -The Messenger of Allaah- may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Who ever says, when he hears the call to prayer :
اللَّهُمَّ رَبَّ هَذِهِ الدَّعْوَةِ التَّامَّةِ وَالصَّلَاةِ الْقَائِمَةِ آتِ مُحَمَّدًا الْوَسِيلَةَ وَالْفَضِيلَةَ وَابْعَثْهُ مَقَامًا مَحْمُودًا الَّذِي وَعَدْتَهُ
- O Allaah Lord of this perfect call to prayer and Owner of this prayer to be performed, bestow upon Muhammad a station in Paradise and a rank above the rest of creation and give him the honorable station which you have promised him:
Allaahumma rabba hadhihi ‘adda’watit tammati, was-salatil qa’imati, ‘ati Muhammadan ál-waseelata wal faaheelata, wab’ath-hu maqqaman mahmoodan ‘allathee wa’adtahu
Then my intercession occurs for him on the day of Judgment.

28 -A man said O Messenger of Allaah, indeed the callers to the prayer are more favored than we are. So the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said: repeat what they say, and when you finish ask, and you will be given.

29 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
A supplication which is made between the Adhaan and the Iqama is not rejected.

30 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Two things which are not rejected, or rarely rejected. A supplication made at the time of the adhaan, and at the time when the battle becomes severe.

31 -The Prophet - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Shall I not teach you something, which the people who proceeded you attained, and those who come after you will precede with this, and there will be no one better than you except the one who does what you do? They said of course O Messenger of Allaah- may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him. So he said: say: SubanAllaah [far is Allaah from imperfection], Allaahu akbar [Allaah is the Greatest], and Alhamdulillaah [All Praise is to Allaah] at the end of every Salaat 33 times.

32 -The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Whoever says SubhanAllaah at the end of every prayer 33 times, and says AlHamdulillaah 33 times, and says Allaahu akbar 33 times, then this adds up to 99, and if he says –
ِ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, and He is capable of all things’
La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer
to complete a hundred, then his mistakes/sins are forgiven even if they were equivalent to the foam on the sea.

33 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
There are two characteristics or two qualities that if a Muslim slave of Allaah is continuous upon, will enter Paradise. They are simple but those who do them are few. To say SubhanAllaah at the end of every prayer ten times, and say AlHamdulillah ten times and say Allaahu akbar ten times, which is equivalent to 150 times on the tongue and 1500 on the scales, and he says Allaahu Akbar 34 times when he goes to bed and he says AlHamdulillah 33 times and says SubhanAllaah 33 times, and that is equivalent to 100 on the tongue and 1000 on the scales.

34 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – used to teach us al-Istikhaarah for all matters, just like he used to teach us a chapter from the Quraan, he would say: If any of you intends to undertake a matter then he should pray two rakats other than an obligatory prayer then he should say:
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أَسْتَخِيرُكَ بِعِلْمِكَ وَأَسْتَقْدِرُكَ بِقُدْرَتِكَ وَأَسْأَلُكَ مِنْ فَضْلِكَ الْعَظِيمِ ، فَإِنَّكَ تَقْدِرُ وَلَا أَقْدِرُ ، وَتَعْلَمُ وَلَا أَعْلَمُ وَأَنْتَ عَلَّامُ الْغُيُوبِ ، اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ خَيْرٌ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاقْدُرْهُ لِي وَيَسِّرْهُ لِي ثُمَّ بَارِكْ لِي فِيهِ وَإِنْ كُنْتَ تَعْلَمُ أَنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ شَرٌّ لِي فِي دِينِي وَمَعَاشِي وَعَاقِبَةِ أَمْرِي أَوْ قَالَ فِي عَاجِلِ أَمْرِي وَآجِلِهِ فَاصْرِفْهُ عَنِّي وَاصْرِفْنِي عَنْهُ وَاقْدُرْ لِيَ الْخَيْرَ حَيْثُ كَانَ ثُمَّ أَرْضِنِي بِهِ
O Allaah I request of You with Your knowledge, and by Your Power I seek capability, and I ask of you of your great favour, since indeed You are the One who is able while I am not, and You know and I do not, and You are the One who knows the unseen, O Allaah if You know that this matter – here he mentions his need - is good for me in this world and for my living and for the matters of my hereafter – or he said, for my affairs now and the future – then decree it for me and make it easy for me and bless it for me, and if You know that this matter is evil for me in this world and for my life and for the matters of my hereafter – or he said, for my affairs now and the affairs of my future – then turn it away from me and turn me away from it, and decree goodness for me where ever it may be and make me pleased with it.

35 - The Messenger of Allaah- may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
The supplication of Yunas, when he supplicated while he was in the belly of the whale:
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
- there is none worthy of worship in truth except You, far are You from imperfection, indeed I am from amongst the thalimoon ( oppressors) –
La ilaha ‘illa ‘anta, subhanaka ‘innee kuntu minath-thalimeena
No Muslim ever supplicated with this for anything except that Allaah responds to him.

36 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said :
Allaah does not afflict a slave with grief nor sadness, except that if the slave says: -
اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ وَابْنُ عَبْدِكَ وَابْنُ أَمَتِكَ نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ مَاضٍ فِيَّ حُكْمُكَ ، عَدْلٌ فِيَّ قَضَاؤُكَ ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَ لَكَ سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ أَوْ أَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ أَوِ اسْتَأْثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي وَنُورَ صَدْرِي وَجِلَاءَ حُزْنِي وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي
O Allaah indeed I am Your slave, and the son of Your slave, and the son of Your female slave, my forelock is in Your Hand, Your command over me is forever executed and Your decree over me is just. I ask of You with all Your names, which belong to You, which You have named Yourself with, or which You have taught someone from Your creation or revealed it in Your Book or that which You have taken unto Your self with the knowledge of the unseen with You, that You make the Quraan the life of my heart and light of my breast and keep away from me my sadness, and that my grief goes away –
Allaahumma ‘innee ‘abduka, wabnu ‘abdika, wabnu amatika, nasiyatee biyadika, madhin fiyya hukmuka, adlun fiyya qadha’uka, asaluka bikulli ismin huwa laka, sammayta bihi nafsaka, aw anzaltahu fee kitabika, ‘aw allamthu ahadan min khaliqika, aw ista’tharta bihi fee ilmil ghaybi ‘indaka, án taj’alal-qurana rabee’a qalbee, wa noora sadree, wa jala’a huznee, wa thahaba hammee
then Allaah takes away his grief and sadness and replaces it with happiness.

37 – Uthman ibn al-Aas came to the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – and said: O Messenger of Allaah indeed the shaytaan comes between me and my prayer, and my recitation becomes confusing? The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said: This is a shaytaan called khunsabun, so if you sense his presence then seek refuge in Allaah from him and spit on your left hand side three times. Uthman said : I did that and Allaah kept him away from me.

38 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
There is no one from among Allaah’s servants, who is afflicted with an affliction except that he says:
( إِنَّا لِلَّهِ وَإِنَّا إِلَيْهِ رَاجِعُونَ ) اللَّهُمَّ أْجُرْنِي فِي مُصِيبَتِي وَأَخْلِفْ لِي خَيْرًا مِنْهَا
Indeed we belong to Allaah and indeed to Him is our return - O Allaah recompense me for my affliction and replace it with something better than that
Inna lil-lahi wa inna ‘ilayhi raji’oona, ‘allahumma’jurnee fee museebatee, wa ákhliflee khayran minha
except that Allaah compensates him in what he has been afflicted with, and gives him that which is better than the previous thing.

39 – Alee – may Allaah be pleased with him said:
Shall I not teach you words that the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – taught me that even if you have an equivalent of a mountain of debt upon you that Allaah will pay it off on you behalf? Say:
َ اللَّهُمَّ اكْفِنِي بِحَلَالِكَ عَنْ حَرَامِكَ وَأَغْنِنِي بِفَضْلِكَ عَمَّنْ سِوَاكَ
O Allaah make what You have made lawful sufficient for me, as opposed to what You have made unlawful, and spare me by Your grace, of need of others.
Allahumma kifinee bihalalika ‘an haramika wa ághninee bifadhlika ‘amman siwaka

40 – Uthmaan bin Abee al-Aaas complained to the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – about a pain he had in his body since he had become Muslim, so the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said to him: place your hand on the part of your body that pains you and then say:
بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ
In the name of Allaah, Bismillaah [three times],
and say seven times ‘Aouthu bi’izzatil-lahi waqudratihi min sharri ma ‘ajidu wa’uhathiru:
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا أَجِدُ وَأُحَاذِرُ
I seek refuge with Allaah and with His Capability from the evil that I feel and wary of

41 -The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Who ever visits a sick person who has not reached his appointed time, then says for him seven times:
أَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ الْعَظِيمَ رَبَّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ أَنْ يَشْفِيَكَ
I ask Allaah The Adheem, Lord of the magnificent Ársh to cure you -
except that Allaah cures him.
As’alul-laha ‘al-adheema, rabbal ‘arshil átheemi an yashfika

42 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Who ever stops at a place on his journey and then says:
أَعُوذُ بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allaah from the evil of what He has created
A’outhu bikalimatil-lahi ‘at-tammati min sharri ma khalaqa
nothing will harm him until he leaves from that place.

43 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Whoever eats some food and then says:
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي أَطْعَمَنِي هَذَا وَرَزَقَنِيهِ مِنْ غَيْرِ حَوْلٍ مِنِّي وَلَا قُوَّةٍ
All praise be to Allaah Who fed me this food and provided it for me without any ability from my self nor any strength from my self –
Al-hamdu lil-lahi ‘al-lathee at-‘amanee hatha, wa razaqaneehi min ghayri hawlin minnee wa la quwwatin
except that his previous sins are forgiven.

44 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
You will not enter Paradise until you believe, and you will not believe until you love one another, shall I not show you something that by doing it, will cause you to love one another, spread salaams between yourselves.

45 – Imran bin Hussain said: that a man came to the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – and said: As-salamu 'alaykum (Peace be to you), the Messenger of Allaah said: ten.
Then another man came and said: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullah (Peace be to you and the mercy of Allaah), the messenger of Allaah said: twenty.
Then another man came and said: As-salamu 'alaykum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatu (Peace be to you and the mercy of Allaah and His blessings), the Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said: thirty. [Note: These are the number of deeds corresponding to the extent of the salam.]

46 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
If one of you wants to have relations with his wife and says:
بِاسْمِ اللَّهِ اللَّهُمَّ جَنِّبْنَا الشَّيْطَانَ وَجَنِّبِ الشَّيْطَانَ مَا رَزَقْتَنَا
In the name of Allaah, O Allaah keep shaytaan away from us and keep shaytaan away from that which You provide for us –
Bismillahi allaahumma jannibna ash-shaytana, wajannib ásh-shaytana ma razaqtana
so if a child is born from them then shaytaan will never be able to harm him.

47 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Whoever sits in a gathering and speaks a lot, then he says before he gets up from his sitting place –
سُبْحَانَكَ اللَّهُمَّ وَبِحَمْدِكَ أَشْهَدُ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ أَسْتَغْفِرُكَ وَأَتُوبُ إِلَيْكَ
You are far from imperfection o Allaah, and praise is to You, I testify that there is none worthy of worship in truth except You, I seek Your forgiveness, and I repent to You –
Subhanaka allahumma wa bihamdika, ash-hadu alla ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atoobu ilayka
except that Allaah covers up for him what he said in that gathering.

48 – Sulaymaan bin Suradin said: I was sitting with the Prophet - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – and two men were cursing, and the face of one of them became red, and he became furious. The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said: indeed I know a statement if he says it then his anger will go away, if he says : -
أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ
Aoodhoobillaahi min ashaytan ar-rajeem
I seek refuge in Allaah from the accursed shaytaan –
then his anger will go away.

49 - The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Whoever sees some one who has been trialed and then says: -
الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّا ابْتَلَاكَ بِهِ وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلًا
Praise be to Allaah Who has saved me from what He has trialed you with and chosen me above much of the creation –
Alhamdu lil-lahi allathee afanee mimma ibtalaka bihi, wa fadh-dhalanee ala katheerin mimman khalaqa tafdheelan
then that trial will not afflict him.

50 – The Messenger of Allaah - may peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him – said:
Whoever enters the market place and says -
لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ ، لَهُ الْمُلْكُ وَلَهُ الْحَمْدُ يُحْيِي وَيُمِيتُ وَهُوَ حَيٌّ لَا يَمُوتُ بِيَدِهِ الْخَيْرُ وَهُوَ عَلَى كُلِّ شَيْءٍ قَدِيرٌ
‘There is none worthy of worship in truth except Allaah Alone, He has no partners, He has the Dominion and for Him is all praise, He gives life and He takes life and He is the Ever living and does not die, in His Hand is goodness and He is capable of all things.’ –
La ilaha ‘illa Allaahu wahdahu la shareeka lahu, lahul mulku wa lahul hamdu yuhyee wa youmeet wa huwa hayun la yamoot biyadihi alkhair wa huwa ala kulli shayin qadeer
then Allaah writes a thousand thousand good deeds for him, and erases a thousand thousand bad deeds for him, and He raises him up a thousand thousand grades.

A Womans Brain is tied to her Tongue

نحن نؤمن أن التوفيق بيد الله سبحانه وحدة وأن كل شيء مقدر ومكتوب .. ولكن هناك
أسباب يجب الأخذ بها مع التوكل على الله

We believe that success is in the hands of Allah (Subhana wa ta 'ala) and that everything has
been written and destined.. but there are actions that we must be doing
whilst having Tawakul on Allah (Subhana wa ta 'ala)

وهنا أذكر لكم ما قالته عجوز وهي سيدة حكيمة يحبها زوجها كثيراً حتى أنه كان
يحلو له أن ينشد لها أبيات الحب والغرام وكلما تقدماً في السن ازداد حبهما
وسعادتهما .. وعندما سألت تلك المرأة عن سر سعادتها الدائمة

And I shall mention to you what an old lady, that was very wise and greatly
loved by her husband to a point where he loved to sing love poetry to her
and as they grew old their love and happiness grew with them, said when she
was asked about the secret to her enduring happiness.

قالت : الحصول على السعادة الزوجية بيد المرأة , فالمرأة تستطيع أن تجعل من
بيتها جنة وارفة الظلال أو جهنم مستعرة النيران .>
She Said: Attaining married life happiness is in the hands of the woman, for
she can make her house a living heaven or turn it into burning hell.

لا تقولي المال .. فكثير من النساء الغنيات تعيسات وهرب منهن أزواجهن

Dont say money for alot of rich women are miserable and have been deserted
by their husbands.

ولا تقولي الأولاد .. فهناك من النساء من أنجبن 10 صبيان وزوجها يهينها ولا
يحبها ويمكن أن يطلقها

And dont say children for there are alot of women with 10 boys, have
husbands insulting them, not loving them and will probably divorce them.

ولا تقولي طباخة .. لأن الكثير منهن ماهرات في الطبخ , فالواحدة منهن تطبخ طوال
النهار ومع ذلك تشكو سوء معاملة زوجها وقلة احترامه لها

And dont say cooking because alot of them are experts at cooking, the one of
them cooks all day and yet complains about the maltreatment of and lack of
respect by her husband.

* إذا ما هو السر ؟؟؟

So what is the secret?

* ماذا كنت تعملين عند حدوث المشاكل مع زوجك ؟؟؟

What did you do when problems occurred with your husband?

قالت : عندما يغضب ويثور زوجي – وقد كان عصبياً – كنت ألجأ إلى الصمت المطبق
بكل احترام .. إياك والصمت المصاحب لنظرة سخرية ولو بالعين لأن الرجل ذكي و
يفهمها

She said: When my husband gets angry and is in rage I used to resort to
respectful silence, beware of silence whilst ridiculing him with your look
for men are smart and get it.

* لم لا تخرجي من الغرفة ؟؟

Why dont you leave the room?

قالت : إياك أن تخرجي من الغرفة .. قد يظن أنك تهربين منه ولا تريدين سماعه ,
عليك بالصمت وموافقته على ما يقول . كنت انتظره حتى يهدأ ثم بعد ذلك أقول له
وبصوتٍ خافت : هل انتهيت؟ ثم أخرج لأنه سيتعب وبحاجة للراحة بعد الكلام والصراخ
.. أخرج من الغرفة لأكمل أعمالي المنزلية وشؤون أولادي وأحاول أن لا أتذكر غضبه
وحربه لي .. وسيظل هو بمفرده وقد أنهكته الحرب التي شنها علي

She said: Never leave the room, he will think you are running away and dont
want to listen to him, you must keep silent and agreeing to what he says. I
would wait for him until he cools down and then I would tell him in a gentle
voice: Are you done? then I leave because he will get tired and needs to
rest after the rage and shouting, I leave the room to complete my housework
and my children chores and I try not to remember his anger and assault on
me, he will remain by himself tired from the rage he has given me.

* ماذا تفعلين هل تلجئين إلى أسلوب المقاطعة فلا تكلمينه لمدة أيام أو أسبوع ؟

What do you then do, do you give him the silent treatment for a few days or
a week?

قالت : لا .. إياك وإتباع أسلوب المقاطعة .. لأنها عادة سيئة وهي سلاح ذو حدين
عندما تقاطعين زوجك أسبوعاً قد يكون ذلك صعباً عليه في البداية ويحاول أن يكلمك
ولكن مع الأيام سوف يتعود على ذلك وإن قاطعته أسبوع قاطعك أسبوعين.

She said: No, never give the silent treatment, its a bad habbit and is a
double bladed sword, when you boycott him for a week it would be difficult
on him in the beginning and he will try to speak to you but with time he
will get used to it so that if you boycott him for a week he will boycott
you for two.

عليك أن تعوديه على أنك الهواء الذي يستنشقه والماء الذي يشربه ولا يستغني عنه
.. كوني كالهواء الرقيق وإياك والريح الشديدة

You have to make him used to the fact that you are the air he breathes, the
water which he drinks and cant live without, be like a gentle breeze and
never like a strong wind.

* إذاً ماذا تفعلين بعد ذلك ؟؟

So what do you do afterwards?

بعد ساعتين أو أكثر .. أضع له كوباً من العصير أو فنجاناً من القهوة وأقول له
تفضل أشرب , لأنه فعلاً محتاج إليه وأكلمه بشكل عادي ... سيقوم بسؤالي هل أنتِ
غاضبة ؟؟ فأقول لا

After two hours or more, I give him a glass of juice or a cup of coffee and
tell him please drink, for he is really in need for it and I talk to him
normally, he will ask me: are you angry? and I say No.

فيبدأ بالاعتذار عن كلامه القاسي ويسمعني الكلام الجميل

He starts to apologize for his harsh talk and starts sweet talking me.

* وهل تصدقين اعتذاره وكلامه الجميل؟؟

And you believe his apology and sweet talk?

طبعاً ... لأني أثق بنفسي ولست غبية ...!!!

Of course, because I trust myself and because I am not stupid.

هل تريدين مني تصديق كلامه وهو غاضب وتكذيبه وهو هادئ ؟؟؟

You want me to believe his talk whilst he is in rage and disbelieve it
whilst he is calm?

إن الإسلام لا يقر طلاق الغاضب ... وهو طلاق!! فكيف ما حصل معي أنا؟؟؟

Islam has not approved divorce whilst in rage , and thats divorce! so what
about what happened to me?

* فقيل لها ... و كرامتك ؟؟

She was told: What about your dignity?

قالت : أي كرامة ؟

She said: What dignity?

كرامتك ألا تصدقي أي كلمة جارحة من إنسان غاضب

Your dignity is when you dont believe a harsh word from an angry person.

و أن تصدقي كلامه عندما يكون هادئاً

And to believe his talk when he is calm.

أسامحه فوراً لأني قد نسيت كل الشتائم وأدركت أهمية

.سماع الكلام المفيد

I forgive him immediately because I have forgotten all the foul language and realized the importance of hearing beneficial talk

وباختصار ومما سبق يمكن أن أقول :
سر السعادة الزوجية عقل المرأة ومربط تلك السعادة لسانها

And to summarize the above I can say: The secret to a happy marriage is the woman's brain and that happiness's knot is her tongue.

Hasad (Envy and Jealousy) Between Those Seeking Knowledge Is The Severest Form Of Hasad!

Ash-Shaykh al-Uthaymeen, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said:

"Verily, al-Hasad (Envy, Jealousy) is an awful trait which is unfortunately found mostly between the scholars and (between) the students of knowledge; it is (also) found between the business men with regards to each other. Everyone who possesses an occupation he is envied by his colleague in it."

But sadly the hasad between the Scholars and between the students of knowledge is more SEVERE while they should have been the first (of the people) and the most worthy that they the people of knowledge be furthest of the people from Hasad and to be the closest (of the people) to the best of characters.

[The Reference: The Book of Knowledge, page 54, print: Daarul Minhaaj]

Allaah The Most High said:

"And We have made some of you as a trial for others: will you have patience? And your Lord is Ever All-Seer (of everything)." (Al-Furqan 25:20).

A Poet said:

"Remain patient upon the envy of the jealous, for indeed patience will deter them. Indeed the fire will devour itself if it does not find anything else to burn."

Some Oft-Quoted Weak Ahaadeeth

From, "Fasting in Ramadaan as observed by the Prophet" by Shaikh Saleem al-Hilaalee and Shaikh Alee Hassan

Allaah, the One free of all imperfections and Most High, has appointed for the Sunnah of the Prophet (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) trustworthy bearers who expel from it the alterations of the people of falsehood, the misinterpretations of those going beyond bounds, and uncovering the false accretions added to it by those who try to adulterate it.

Throughout the ages many accretions have been mixed with it, either weak ahaadeeth, lies or fabrications and the like and this has been fully explained and made clear by the scholars throughout the ages. One who looks today into the works of writers and speeches of admonition will see that they do not give the slightest attention to this matter except those upon whom is Allaah’s Mercy. Even though scholarly reference works, which explain which ahadeeth are authentic and uncover the weak narrations, are readily available.

In explaining this matter and its evil consequences upon the knowledge and the people, we do not intend to rebuke or accuse anyone. We will just quote some examples of narrations which have been introduced and become well known amongst the people, to the point that you will hardly read an article or hear an admonition except that the weak ahaadeeth have a prominent place in it.

So acting upon his (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) saying: “Convey from me even if it is only a single Aayah...”’ [Reported by al-Bukhaaree (6/361)]

And his (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) saying: “The Deen is sincerity and sincere advising.” [Reported by Muslim (no. 55)]

So we say: The weak ahaadeeth, which have become widespread amongst the people, at every level, are very many, to the point that very few manage to mention anything authentic - despite its being plentiful also. May Allaah have mercy upon the Imaam Abdullaah lbn al-Mubaarak who said: “There is sufficiency in the authentic ahaadeeth so there is no need for what is weak.” So let this imam be our example. And let us stick to the authentic and pure knowledge.

From the weak ahaadeeth which people commonly quote concerning Ramadaan are:

1. “If the servants knew how great Ramadaan was, then they would wish that Ramadaan lasted all year. Indeed, Paradise is decorated for Ramadaan from the start of the year till the next year...” and it is a long hadeeth.

This hadeeth is reported by Ibn Khuzaimah (no. 1886), Ibn al-Jawzee in Kitaabul-Mawdoo’aat (2/188-189) and Aboo Yalaa in his Musnad as occurs in al-Mataalibul-’Aaliyah (46/a-b manuscript) by way of Jareer ibn Ayyoob al Bajalee: from ash-Shabee: from Naafi ibn Burdah: from Aboo Masood al Ghifaaree.

This hadeeth is fabricated (mawdoo), the cause being Jareer ibn Ayyoob. lbn Hajr quotes his biography in Lisaanul-Meezaan (2/101) and says: “Famous for his weakness.” Then he quotes the saying of Aboo Nu’aim about him: “He used to fabricate ahaadeeth,” from al-Bukhaaree: “Munkar in narrating hadeeth,” and from an-Nasaaee: “Abandoned!”

Ibn al-jawzee declared it to be fabricated, and Ibn Khuzaimah said after relating it: “If the narration is authentic, since there is some doubt in the heart about Jareer Ibn Ayyoob al-Bajalee.”

2. “0 people a very great month has come upon you, a month containing a night better than a thousand months. Allaah has made it an obligation to fast in it, and standing in prayer in its night is a supererogatory action. Whoever seeks nearness to Him with a good deed in it will be like one performing an obligatory action in other months... It is a month the beginning of which is a mercy, the middle is forgiveness, and its end is a granting of freedom from the Fire...” It is also a long hadeeth and we have quoted the most well-known parts of it.

This hadeeth is also reported by Ibn Khuzaimah (No. 1887), al-Mahaamulee in his Amaalee (No. 293), and al-Asbahaanee in at-Targheeb (Q/178, B-manuscript) by way of Alee ibn Zayd ibn Jud’aan: from Sa’eed ibn al-Musaayib: from Salmaan.

This isnaad is do’eef due to the weakness of ‘Ale ibn Zayd. Ibn Sad says about him, “He is somewhat weak, he is not used as a proof” Ahmad ibn Hanbal said: “He is not strong.” Ibn Ma’een said: “He is weak.” Ibn Abee Khaithumah said: ‘Weak in everything.” Ibn Khuzaimah said: “I do not accept him as a proof due to his weak memory.” - as occurs in at-Tahdheeb (7/322-323).

Ibn Khuzaimah said after quoting his narration: “If the narration is authentic.” Ibn Hajr says in al-Atraaf: “It is narrated by ‘Ale ibn Zayd ibn Jud’aan alone and he is weak” as As-Suyootee quotes from him in Jamul Jawaami (No. 24,714). lbn Abee Haatim reports from his father in ‘llalul-Hadeeth (1/249) that he said: “The hadeeth is munkar!”

3. “Fast and you will be healthy.”

It is part of a hadeeth reported by Ibn ‘Adiyy in al-Kaamil (7/2521) by way of Nahshal ibn Sa’eed: from ad-Dahhaak: from Ibn Abbaas. At-Tabaraanee reports it in ol-Awsat (I/Q, 69 A-manuscript of Majmo’ ul-Bahrain) and Aboo Nu’aim in at-Tibbun-Nawawee as occurs in Takhreejul-Ihyaa’ (7/401) by way of Muhammad ibn Sulaimaan ibn Abee Daawood: from Zuhair ibn Muhammad: Suhail lbn Abee Saalih: from Aboo Hurairah.

Its isnaad is weak. Aboo Bakr al-Athrum said: “I heard Ahmad say - and he mentioned the narration of the people of Shaam from Zuhair ibn Muhammad, he said: ‘They report ahaadeeth from him which are munkar’”

Aboo Haatim said: “There is some weakness in his memory, his ahaadeeth narrated in Iraaq are better than his hadeeth narrated in Shaam due to his weak memory.” Al-Alee said: “These ahaadeeth which the people of Shaam narrate from him do not please me,” as occurs in Tahdheebul-Kamaal (9/417).

Muhammad Ibn Sulaimaan is from Shaam and has a biography in Taareekh Dimishq (15 Q,386 - manuscript) - so his narrations from Zuhair, as the scholars have stated, are munkar and this hadeeth is one of them!

4. “He who abandons fasting during a day of Ramadaan without a valid excuse, or illness - then even if he were to fast for ever it would not make up for it.”

This hadeeth is quoted in disconnected form by al-Bukhaaree in his Saheeh (Fathul-Baaree. 4/160) without an isnaad. It is connected by Ibn Khuzaimah in his Saheeh (No. 1987), at-Tirmidhee (No.723) Aboo Daawood (No.2397). lbn Maajah (No. 1672), an-Nasaa’ee in al-Kubraa as occurs in Tahfatul Ashraaf (10/373), al-Baihaqee (4/228) and Ibn -Iajr in Taghleequt-To’leeq (3/170) by way of Abul-Mutawwas: from his father: from Aboo Hurairah.

Ibn Hajr says in Fathul-Baaree (4/161): “They disagree greatly in their narration from Habeeb ibn Abee Thaabit, it has three weaknesses: (i) contradiction of its narrators, (ii) the condition of Abul-Mutawwas is unknown, (ii) doubt about whether his father met Aboo Hurairah or not.”

Ibn Khuzaimah says after reporting it: “If the narration is authentic, since I do not know Abul Mutawwas or his father.” So this hadeeth is also weak.

These are four ahaadeeth which have been declared weak and unreliable by the scholars, yet we still hear them and see them every day in the blessed month of Ramadaan in particular, and at other times. It is apparent that some of these ahadeeth contain parts whose meaning is correct and established in our Sharee’ah in the Book or the Sunnah. However, this on its own does not allow us to attribute to Allah's Messenger (sallalalhu alaihi wa-sallam) that which is not established authentically from him, particularly since this Ummah alone - to the exception of all previous nations has been particularized by Allaah, the One free of all imperfections, with the use of isnaads (chains of narration). Through them we can ascertain what is acceptable and what has been invented, and what is authentic (saheeh) from that which is not. It is a very precise branch of knowledge, and he indeed spoke well who described it as: “The study of what is narrated and the measure for the authenticity of narrations.”

The Future is for Islaam
