1
00:00:00,460 --> 00:00:05,000
2- The Garden of Guidance

2
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,500
3- Allah Almighty said:

3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:23,559
4- "O my dear son! Establish prayer, enjoin what is good, forbid what is evil, and be patient over whatever befalls you. Indeed, that is of the matters requiring firm resolve."

4
00:00:23,559 --> 00:00:27,719
5- And on the authority of 'Ata' Ibn Abi Rabah, who said:

5
00:00:27,719 --> 00:00:31,420
6- Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him and his father) said to me:

6
00:00:31,420 --> 00:00:34,920
7- "Shall I not show you a woman from the people of Paradise?"

7
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:36,920
8- I said, "Yes, indeed!"

8
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,420
9- He said, "It is this black woman.

9
00:00:40,420 --> 00:00:44,920
10- She came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and said,

10
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:48,920
11- 'I suffer from epileptic seizures and become uncovered,

11
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:51,420
12- so pray to Allah Almighty for me.'

12
00:00:51,420 --> 00:00:55,920
13- He said, 'If you wish, be patient and you will have Paradise;

13
00:00:55,920 --> 00:01:00,609
14- but if you wish, I will pray to Allah Almighty to cure you.'

14
00:01:00,609 --> 00:01:03,109
15- She said, 'I will be patient.'

15
00:01:03,109 --> 00:01:06,609
16- Then she said, 'Yet, I become uncovered,

16
00:01:06,609 --> 00:01:10,109
17- so pray to Allah that I do not become uncovered.'

17
00:01:10,109 --> 00:01:12,109
18- So he prayed for her."

18
00:01:12,109 --> 00:01:14,680
17- Agreed upon.

19
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:16,760
A Point of Benefit:

20
00:01:16,760 --> 00:01:22,760
One of the gnostics had a piece of parchment that he would take out from time to time and look at,

21
00:01:22,760 --> 00:01:24,760
and written upon it was:

22
00:01:24,760 --> 00:01:29,359
“So wait patiently (O Muhammad) for thy Lord's decree, for surely thou art in Our sight; and hymn the praise of thy Lord when thou uprisest,” (52:48)

23
00:01:29,359 --> 00:01:33,859
And Mujahid (may Allah have mercy on him) said regarding the words of Allah Almighty:

24
00:01:33,859 --> 00:01:36,359
﴾So patience is most fitting﴿,

25
00:01:36,359 --> 00:01:39,359
he said: "It means patience without any anguish or complaint."
