00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:04,950
The Garden of Guidance

2
00:00:04,950 --> 00:00:07,669
Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:

3
00:00:07,669 --> 00:00:13,509
“But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.” (41:35)

4
00:00:13,509 --> 00:00:21,660
“But none is granted it save those who are steadfast, and none is granted it save the owner of great happiness.” (41:35)

5
00:00:21,660 --> 00:00:25,300
And on the authority of Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him),

6
00:00:25,300 --> 00:00:29,519
that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

7
00:00:29,519 --> 00:00:33,000
"Ahead of you are days of patience,

8
00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:36,840
wherein patience will be like holding onto burning coals.

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:42,990
The one who acts righteously in those times will have the reward of fifty men performing the same deed."

10
00:00:42,990 --> 00:00:44,869
Another narrator added:

11
00:00:44,869 --> 00:00:49,390
Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah, the reward of fifty of them?"

12
00:00:49,390 --> 00:00:53,299
He replied, "Rather, the reward of fifty of you."

13
00:00:53,299 --> 00:00:56,490
Recorded by Abu Dawud.

14
00:00:56,490 --> 00:00:58,619
A Point of Benefit:

15
00:00:58,619 --> 00:01:01,659
Yunus ibn Yazid (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

16
00:01:01,700 --> 00:01:04,659
"I asked Rabi'ah ibn Abi 'Abd al-Rahman:

17
00:01:04,659 --> 00:01:06,819
'What is the utmost of patience?'

18
00:01:06,819 --> 00:01:11,060
He replied: 'That one's state on the day calamity strikes

19
00:01:11,060 --> 00:01:13,700
is the same as it was before it struck.'"
