00:00:00.780 --> 00:00:09.779
*Riyāḍ al-Ṣāliḥīn* from the words of the Master of the Messengers, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:00:09.779 --> 00:00:16.570
Chapter: The Desirability of Giving Glad Tidings and Congratulating upon Good Occurrences.

00:00:16.570 --> 00:00:22.359
On the authority of Abū Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:00:22.359 --> 00:00:27.420
We were sitting around the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:27.420 --> 00:00:32.420
and with us were Abū Bakr and 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) among a group of people.

00:00:32.420 --> 00:00:37.420
Then the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood up from among us,

00:00:37.420 --> 00:00:42.420
and he stayed away for a long time, so we feared that he might be harmed or cut off in our absence.

00:00:42.420 --> 00:00:47.420
We were alarmed and stood up, and I was the first to become alarmed.

00:00:47.420 --> 00:00:52.420
So I went out seeking the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:00:52.420 --> 00:00:56.420
until I came to an enclosed garden belonging to the Ansar, of the Banū al-Najjār clan.

00:00:56.420 --> 00:01:00.420
I circled around it looking for a gate,

00:01:00.420 --> 00:01:07.420
but found none; however, I found a small stream entering the interior of the garden from a well outside it.

00:01:07.420 --> 00:01:12.420
(A *rabī'* is a small stream), so I squeezed myself together

00:01:12.420 --> 00:01:16.420
and entered upon the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:01:16.420 --> 00:01:22.420
He said: "Abū Hurayrah?" I said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."

00:01:22.420 --> 00:01:26.420
He asked: "What is the matter with you?" I said:

00:01:26.420 --> 00:01:31.420
"You were among us, then you got up and stayed away from us for so long

00:01:31.420 --> 00:01:34.420
that we feared you might be harmed in our absence,

00:01:34.420 --> 00:01:38.420
so we became alarmed, and I was the first to take fright.

00:01:38.420 --> 00:01:44.420
I came to this garden and squeezed through just as a fox squeezes through,

00:01:44.420 --> 00:01:47.420
and the people are behind me."

00:01:47.420 --> 00:01:53.420
He said: "O Abū Hurayrah!" and gave me his sandals, saying:

00:01:53.420 --> 00:01:55.420
"Take these two sandals of mine,

00:01:55.420 --> 00:02:01.420
and whomever you meet beyond this garden who testifies that there is no god but Allah,

00:02:01.420 --> 00:02:06.420
with full certainty in his heart, give him the glad tidings of Paradise."

00:02:06.420 --> 00:02:09.520
And he mentioned the hadith in its entirety.

00:02:09.520 --> 00:02:11.939
Narrated by Muslim.

00:02:11.939 --> 00:02:14.939
The word *al-rabī'* means a small river,

00:02:14.939 --> 00:02:19.060
which is a rivulet, as explained in the hadith.

00:02:19.060 --> 00:02:21.060
And his word *iḥtafaztu*

00:02:21.060 --> 00:02:24.060
is narrated with an *r* (*iḥtarafartu*) and with a *z* (*iḥtafaztu*),

00:02:24.060 --> 00:02:26.060
and its meaning with a *z*

00:02:26.060 --> 00:02:28.060
is: "I compressed and made myself small

00:02:28.060 --> 00:02:31.060
until it was possible for me to enter."

00:02:31.060 --> 00:02:33.900
"Among our backs" (*bayna aẓhurinā*)

00:02:33.900 --> 00:02:35.900
means: among us.

00:02:35.900 --> 00:02:38.090
"Cut off away from us" (*yuqṭa'a dūnanā*)

00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:41.090
means: to be afflicted with harm by an enemy.

00:02:41.090 --> 00:02:43.250
*Al-faza'* (alarm/fright)

00:02:43.250 --> 00:02:46.250
means rising up hastily for a matter and being deeply concerned about it.

00:02:46.250 --> 00:02:50.370
Among the lessons derived from this hadith:

00:02:50.370 --> 00:02:54.370
It shows the deep devotion of the Prophet's Companions, peace be upon him,

00:02:54.370 --> 00:02:56.370
and their constant care and protection around him.

00:02:56.370 --> 00:03:00.849
It illustrates how people check on their leader, seek him out,

00:03:00.849 --> 00:03:02.849
and become alarmed when he is missing.

00:03:02.849 --> 00:03:06.300
It includes giving a physical sign or token

00:03:06.300 --> 00:03:10.300
to prove the truthfulness of the emissary and confirm his statement.

00:03:10.300 --> 00:03:12.680
The people of Tawheed (monotheism)

00:03:12.680 --> 00:03:15.680
are the ones who show the greatest care for the Prophets and the righteous,

00:03:15.680 --> 00:03:20.319
and they are the most deserving of glad tidings above all others.

00:03:20.319 --> 00:03:22.319
Uttering "there is no god but Allah"

00:03:22.319 --> 00:03:25.319
guarantees Paradise for the one who says it,

00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:28.319
provided it comes sincerely from the heart.

00:03:28.319 --> 00:03:32.699
On the authority of Ibn Shumāsah, who said:

00:03:32.699 --> 00:03:35.699
We attended 'Amr ibn al-'Āṣ (may Allah be pleased with him)

00:03:35.699 --> 00:03:38.699
while he was in the throes of death.

00:03:38.699 --> 00:03:40.699
He wept for a long time

00:03:40.699 --> 00:03:43.699
and turned his face toward the wall.

00:03:43.699 --> 00:03:45.699
His son began to say:

00:03:45.699 --> 00:03:47.699
"O my father!

00:03:47.699 --> 00:03:52.699
Did not the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, give you glad tidings of such-and-such?

00:03:52.699 --> 00:03:57.759
Did not the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, give you glad tidings of such-and-such?"

00:03:57.759 --> 00:04:00.759
So he turned his face toward them and said:

00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:02.759
"The best thing we rely upon as provision

00:04:02.759 --> 00:04:05.759
is the testimony that there is no god but Allah

00:04:05.759 --> 00:04:08.759
and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah.

00:04:08.759 --> 00:04:12.979
Indeed, I have passed through three distinct phases:

00:04:12.979 --> 00:04:19.980
I remember when no one was more intensely hateful of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, than me,

00:04:19.980 --> 00:04:26.050
and nothing was more beloved to me than to overpower him and kill him.

00:04:26.050 --> 00:04:28.050
Had I died in that state,

00:04:28.050 --> 00:04:31.209
I would certainly have been among the people of the Fire.

00:04:31.209 --> 00:04:35.209
But when Allah placed Islam into my heart,

00:04:35.209 --> 00:04:39.209
I came to the Prophet, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, and said:

00:04:39.209 --> 00:04:42.209
'Stretch out your right hand so that I may pledge allegiance to you.'

00:04:42.209 --> 00:04:44.209
So he stretched out his right hand,

00:04:44.209 --> 00:04:46.209
but I withdrew my hand.

00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:47.209
He said:

00:04:47.209 --> 00:04:49.209
'What is the matter with you, O 'Amr?'

00:04:49.209 --> 00:04:50.209
I said:

00:04:50.209 --> 00:04:52.209
'I wish to stipulate a condition.'

00:04:52.209 --> 00:04:53.339
He said:

00:04:53.339 --> 00:04:55.339
'What do you wish to stipulate?'

00:04:55.339 --> 00:04:56.339
I said:

00:04:56.339 --> 00:04:58.339
'That I be forgiven.'

00:04:58.339 --> 00:05:00.459
He said:

00:05:00.459 --> 00:05:04.459
'Did you not know that Islam wipes away whatever came before it,

00:05:04.459 --> 00:05:08.459
that the Hijrah (migration) wipes away whatever came before it,

00:05:08.459 --> 00:05:11.459
and that the Hajj pilgrimage wipes away whatever came before it?'

00:05:11.459 --> 00:05:17.720
After that, no one was more beloved to me than the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:05:17.720 --> 00:05:20.720
nor was anyone more majestic in my eyes than him.

00:05:20.720 --> 00:05:25.720
I was unable to look at him fully out of veneration for him;

00:05:25.720 --> 00:05:29.720
and if I were asked to describe him, I could not do so,

00:05:29.720 --> 00:05:32.720
because I never filled my eyes with looking at him.

00:05:32.720 --> 00:05:35.720
Had I died in that state,

00:05:35.720 --> 00:05:38.720
I would have hoped to be among the people of Paradise.

00:05:38.720 --> 00:05:41.939
Then we were entrusted with positions of governance over various affairs,

00:05:41.939 --> 00:05:44.939
and I do not know what my standing will be regarding them.

00:05:44.939 --> 00:05:47.100
So when I die,

00:05:47.100 --> 00:05:51.100
let no wailing woman or fire accompany my funeral.

00:05:51.100 --> 00:05:53.100
And when you have buried me,

00:05:53.100 --> 00:05:56.100
pour the earth over me gently.

00:05:56.100 --> 00:06:02.100
Then stand around my grave for the duration it takes to slaughter a camel and distribute its meat,

00:06:02.100 --> 00:06:05.100
so that I may draw comfort from your presence

00:06:05.100 --> 00:06:09.100
and ascertain how I will answer the messengers of my Lord."

00:06:09.100 --> 00:06:11.420
Narrated by Muslim.

00:06:11.420 --> 00:06:13.899
His saying *shunnū*

00:06:13.899 --> 00:06:16.899
means: pour it gradually and gently.

00:06:16.899 --> 00:06:19.899
And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.

00:06:19.899 --> 00:06:22.740
*Siyāqat al-mawt*

00:06:22.740 --> 00:06:25.740
means the state of facing imminent death.

00:06:25.740 --> 00:06:27.800
*Aṭbāq thalāth*

00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:29.800
means three distinct phases or states.

00:06:29.800 --> 00:06:32.220
*Fa-shunnū*

00:06:32.220 --> 00:06:34.220
means pouring easily and gently.

00:06:35.949 --> 00:06:37.949
Among the lessons derived from this hadith:

00:06:37.949 --> 00:06:42.370
The immense status of Islam, the Hijrah, and the Hajj pilgrimage,

00:06:42.370 --> 00:06:47.370
and that each of them erases the sins committed prior to it.

00:06:47.370 --> 00:06:52.819
The recommendation to remind a dying person to maintain good expectations of Allah, the Exalted,

00:06:52.819 --> 00:06:54.819
to mention verses of hope,

00:06:54.819 --> 00:06:57.819
and hadiths of divine pardon in his presence,

00:06:57.819 --> 00:07:02.819
and to give him glad tidings of what Allah Almighty has prepared for the Muslims.

00:07:02.819 --> 00:07:07.199
The recommendation of mentioning his best deeds in his presence

00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:11.199
so that he may think well of Allah Almighty and pass away in that state.

00:07:11.199 --> 00:07:18.550
The profound veneration of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) for the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him,

00:07:18.550 --> 00:07:23.550
and students of knowledge should likewise show such respect to the scholars of the Ummah.

00:07:23.550 --> 00:07:29.100
It shows compliance with the prohibition of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:07:29.100 --> 00:07:33.100
against having a funeral followed by wailing or fire.

00:07:33.100 --> 00:07:36.579
The recommendation of gently pouring dust into the grave,

00:07:36.579 --> 00:07:39.579
and that one must not sit upon a grave.

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:43.060
The prohibition of sitting upon a grave,

00:07:43.060 --> 00:07:47.060
due to the clear, authentic prohibition reported concerning it.

00:07:47.060 --> 00:07:51.470
Affirmation of the trial of the grave and the questioning by the two angels.

00:07:51.470 --> 00:07:55.980
It is from the Sunnah to remain by the grave for a short while

00:07:55.980 --> 00:07:59.980
to supplicate for the deceased and ask for his steadfastness.

00:07:59.980 --> 00:08:04.699
Chapter: Bidding Farewell to a Companion,

00:08:04.699 --> 00:08:08.699
Giving Him Counsel upon Parting for Travel or Other Reasons,

00:08:08.699 --> 00:08:12.699
Praying for Him, and Asking Him for Supplication.

00:08:12.699 --> 00:08:16.790
Allah Almighty said:

00:08:16.790 --> 00:08:20.860
“The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him).” (2:132)

00:08:20.860 --> 00:08:23.860
“The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him).” (2:132)

00:08:23.860 --> 00:08:28.860
“The same did Abraham enjoin upon his sons, and also Jacob, (saying): O my sons! Lo! Allah hath chosen for you the (true) religion; therefore die not save as men who have surrendered (unto Him).” (2:132)

00:08:28.860 --> 00:08:33.889
“Or were ye present when death came to Jacob, when he said unto his sons: What will ye worship after me? They said: We shall worship thy god, the god of thy fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, One Allah, and unto Him we have surrendered.” (2:133)

00:08:33.889 --> 00:08:37.889
“Or were ye present when death came to Jacob, when he said unto his sons: What will ye worship after me? They said: We shall worship thy god, the god of thy fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, One Allah, and unto Him we have surrendered.” (2:133)

00:08:37.889 --> 00:08:41.889
“Or were ye present when death came to Jacob, when he said unto his sons: What will ye worship after me? They said: We shall worship thy god, the god of thy fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, One Allah, and unto Him we have surrendered.” (2:133)

00:08:41.889 --> 00:08:45.889
"...Abraham, Ishmael, and Isaac..."

00:08:45.889 --> 00:08:49.889
“Or were ye present when death came to Jacob, when he said unto his sons: What will ye worship after me? They said: We shall worship thy god, the god of thy fathers, Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac, One Allah, and unto Him we have surrendered.” (2:133)

00:08:49.889 --> 00:08:54.070
As for the hadiths,

00:08:54.070 --> 00:08:58.070
among them is the hadith of Zayd ibn Arqam (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:08:58.070 --> 00:09:01.070
which was previously cited in the chapter on honoring the household

00:09:01.070 --> 00:09:04.070
of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:09:04.070 --> 00:09:10.070
He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, stood among us to deliver a sermon;

00:09:10.070 --> 00:09:13.070
he praised Allah, extolled Him,

00:09:13.070 --> 00:09:15.070
exhorted, and reminded the people.

00:09:15.070 --> 00:09:19.070
Then he said: "To proceed:

00:09:19.070 --> 00:09:21.070
Hearken, O people!

00:09:21.070 --> 00:09:23.070
I am only a human being;

00:09:23.070 --> 00:09:27.070
the messenger of my Lord is soon to come, and I shall answer the call.

00:09:27.070 --> 00:09:30.070
I am leaving among you two weighty matters:

00:09:30.070 --> 00:09:33.070
the first of them is the Book of Allah,

00:09:33.070 --> 00:09:36.070
wherein is guidance and light;

00:09:36.070 --> 00:09:39.070
so adhere to the Book of Allah and hold fast to it."

00:09:39.070 --> 00:09:43.070
Thus, he urged and encouraged commitment to the Book of Allah.

00:09:43.070 --> 00:09:46.070
Then he said: "And the people of my household;

00:09:46.070 --> 00:09:50.070
I remind you of Allah regarding the people of my household."

00:09:50.070 --> 00:09:52.139
Narrated by Muslim,

00:09:52.139 --> 00:09:55.139
and it has already been mentioned in full.

00:09:55.139 --> 00:10:00.460
On the authority of Abū Sulaymān Mālik ibn al-Ḥuwayrith (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:10:00.460 --> 00:10:04.490
We came to the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:10:04.490 --> 00:10:07.490
when we were young men of similar age,

00:10:07.490 --> 00:10:11.490
and we stayed with him for twenty nights.

00:10:11.490 --> 00:10:16.549
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, was merciful and gentle.

00:10:16.549 --> 00:10:20.549
When he sensed that we longed for our families,

00:10:20.549 --> 00:10:24.549
he asked us about those we had left behind among our families,

00:10:24.549 --> 00:10:26.549
so we told him.

00:10:26.549 --> 00:10:27.549
Thereupon he said:

00:10:27.549 --> 00:10:30.549
"Return to your families,

00:10:30.549 --> 00:10:32.549
stay among them,

00:10:32.549 --> 00:10:34.549
teach them, instruct them,

00:10:34.549 --> 00:10:38.549
pray such-and-such prayer at such-and-such a time,

00:10:38.549 --> 00:10:41.549
and pray such-and-such prayer at such-and-such a time.

00:10:41.549 --> 00:10:44.549
When the time for prayer arrives,

00:10:44.549 --> 00:10:46.549
let one of you call the Adhan,

00:10:46.549 --> 00:10:49.549
and let the eldest among you lead you in prayer."

00:10:49.549 --> 00:10:51.620
Agreed upon.

00:10:51.620 --> 00:10:54.940
Al-Bukhārī added in his narration:

00:10:54.940 --> 00:10:58.940
"And pray as you have seen me pray."

00:10:58.940 --> 00:11:02.289
The phrase *raḥīman rafīqan* (merciful and gentle)

00:11:02.289 --> 00:11:04.289
is narrated with an *f* and a *q* (*rafīqan*),

00:11:04.289 --> 00:11:07.289
and also narrated with two *q*s (*raqīqan*, tender-hearted).

00:11:07.289 --> 00:11:11.149
Among the lessons derived from this hadith:

00:11:11.149 --> 00:11:15.309
Youth are more capable of carrying knowledge and traveling to seek it.

00:11:15.309 --> 00:11:18.759
Whoever seeks knowledge and understanding

00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:20.759
must search for it diligently,

00:11:20.759 --> 00:11:22.759
endure patience in acquiring it,

00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.759
and endure parting from family and loved ones

00:11:25.759 --> 00:11:28.759
in order to attain it.

00:11:28.759 --> 00:11:34.240
When a learner returns to a people who possess less knowledge than him,

00:11:34.240 --> 00:11:37.240
it is obligatory upon him to teach them.

00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:43.820
The prescribed prayers have appointed times that cannot be known except through instruction.

00:11:43.820 --> 00:11:49.330
A group should be led in prayer by the one most knowledgeable of the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger;

00:11:49.330 --> 00:11:56.330
but because they had all learned together from the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

00:11:56.330 --> 00:11:58.330
at the exact same time,

00:11:58.330 --> 00:12:01.330
and they all showed equal dedication to his gathering,

00:12:01.330 --> 00:12:05.330
nothing remained to distinguish leadership in prayer except seniority in age.

00:12:05.330 --> 00:12:11.870
The worshiper is obligated to follow the description of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

00:12:11.870 --> 00:12:17.259
[This shows] the mercy of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) toward his Companions,

00:12:17.259 --> 00:12:21.259
his gentleness toward his followers, and his compassion for his Ummah.

00:12:21.259 --> 00:12:26.500
On the authority of 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:31.500
"I asked the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) for permission to perform 'Umrah,

00:12:31.500 --> 00:12:33.500
and he granted me permission and said:

00:12:33.500 --> 00:12:37.500
'Do not forget us, my dear brother, in your supplications.'

00:12:37.500 --> 00:12:42.600
He thus uttered a word so dear to me that I would not exchange it for the whole world."

00:12:42.600 --> 00:12:45.700
In another narration, he said:

00:12:45.700 --> 00:12:48.700
"'Include us, my dear brother, in your supplications.'

00:12:48.700 --> 00:12:52.759
Related by Abu Dawud and al-Tirmidhi."

00:12:52.759 --> 00:12:56.110
And on the authority of Salim ibn 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar,

00:12:56.110 --> 00:12:59.110
that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both)

00:12:59.110 --> 00:13:03.110
used to say to a man when he intended to travel:

00:13:03.110 --> 00:13:06.110
"Come close to me so that I may bid you farewell,

00:13:06.110 --> 00:13:09.110
just as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

00:13:09.110 --> 00:13:11.110
used to bid us farewell."

00:13:11.110 --> 00:13:12.110
He would then say:

00:13:12.110 --> 00:13:16.110
"I entrust to Allah your religion, your trust,

00:13:16.110 --> 00:13:18.110
and the final outcomes of your deeds."

00:13:18.110 --> 00:13:20.139
Related by al-Tirmidhi.

00:13:20.139 --> 00:13:25.659
And on the authority of 'Abdullah ibn Yazid al-Khatmi, the Companion (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:13:25.659 --> 00:13:26.659
who said:

00:13:26.659 --> 00:13:29.659
"Whenever the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

00:13:29.659 --> 00:13:32.659
wished to bid farewell to an army,

00:13:32.659 --> 00:13:33.659
he would say:

00:13:33.659 --> 00:13:36.659
'I entrust to Allah your religion, your trust,

00:13:36.659 --> 00:13:39.659
and the final outcomes of your deeds.'"

00:13:39.659 --> 00:13:43.070
Related by Abu Dawud.

00:13:43.070 --> 00:13:45.870
Among the lessons derived from the hadith are:

00:13:45.870 --> 00:13:49.289
It is recommended to bid farewell to the traveler,

00:13:49.289 --> 00:13:53.289
just as the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) did.

00:13:53.289 --> 00:13:56.860
The keenness of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him)

00:13:56.860 --> 00:14:01.860
to adhere closely to his guidance in all their affairs.

00:14:01.860 --> 00:14:06.279
It is recommended for a Muslim to supplicate for his fellow Muslim brother

00:14:06.279 --> 00:14:08.279
in all circumstances,

00:14:08.279 --> 00:14:12.700
whether in his absence or to his face.

00:14:12.700 --> 00:14:16.700
The greatest possession a person has in this life and fears losing

00:14:16.700 --> 00:14:18.700
is their religion.

00:14:18.700 --> 00:14:23.240
A Muslim should wish for his brother a good end,

00:14:23.240 --> 00:14:26.240
just as he wishes for himself to be granted a good end.

00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:29.779
Success is entirely in the hands of Allah,

00:14:29.779 --> 00:14:31.779
so a Muslim must seek it

00:14:31.779 --> 00:14:35.779
by pursuing its means and knocking upon His door.

00:14:35.779 --> 00:14:41.129
On the authority of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

00:14:41.129 --> 00:14:44.159
A man came to the Prophet (peace be upon him)

00:14:44.159 --> 00:14:46.159
and said:

00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:48.159
"O Messenger of Allah,

00:14:48.159 --> 00:14:50.159
I intend to travel,

00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:52.159
so provide me with provision [through supplication]."

00:14:52.159 --> 00:14:53.159
He (peace be upon him) said:

00:14:53.159 --> 00:14:56.159
"May Allah provide you with piety (taqwa)."

00:14:56.159 --> 00:14:57.220
The man said:

00:14:57.220 --> 00:14:59.220
"Give me more."

00:14:59.220 --> 00:15:00.220
He said:

00:15:00.220 --> 00:15:02.220
"And may He forgive your sins."

00:15:02.220 --> 00:15:03.220
The man said:

00:15:03.220 --> 00:15:05.220
"Give me more."

00:15:05.220 --> 00:15:06.220
He said:

00:15:06.220 --> 00:15:10.220
"And may He facilitate goodness for you wherever you may be."

00:15:10.220 --> 00:15:12.220
Related by al-Tirmidhi.

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:14.990
Among the lessons derived from the hadith are:

00:15:14.990 --> 00:15:21.659
It is recommended to seek permission from the Messenger (peace be upon him) before traveling

00:15:21.659 --> 00:15:24.019
and to inform him of it.

00:15:24.019 --> 00:15:32.590
The keenness of the Companions of the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) that he supplicate for them throughout their travels and stays.

00:15:32.590 --> 00:15:37.590
The greatest counsel a servant can give his Muslim brother is the fear of Allah (taqwa),

00:15:37.590 --> 00:15:39.590
for it is the true provision for the soul,

00:15:39.590 --> 00:15:44.590
without which it cannot attain its ultimate destination in the exalted assembly.

00:15:44.590 --> 00:15:51.100
It is recommended to seek an abundance of good by asking for frequent supplications from righteous people.

00:15:51.100 --> 00:15:55.870
