00:00:00.560 --> 00:00:04.950
The Garden of Guidance

00:00:04.950 --> 00:00:07.669
Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said:

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)

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)

00:00:21.660 --> 00:00:25.300
And on the authority of Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him),

00:00:25.300 --> 00:00:29.519
that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said:

00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.000
"Ahead of you are days of patience,

00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:36.840
wherein patience will be like holding onto burning coals.

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."

00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:44.869
Another narrator added:

00:00:44.869 --> 00:00:49.390
Someone asked, "O Messenger of Allah, the reward of fifty of them?"

00:00:49.390 --> 00:00:53.299
He replied, "Rather, the reward of fifty of you."

00:00:53.299 --> 00:00:56.490
Recorded by Abu Dawud.

00:00:56.490 --> 00:00:58.619
A Point of Benefit:

00:00:58.619 --> 00:01:01.659
Yunus ibn Yazid (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

00:01:01.700 --> 00:01:04.659
"I asked Rabi'ah ibn Abi 'Abd al-Rahman:

00:01:04.659 --> 00:01:06.819
'What is the utmost of patience?'

00:01:06.819 --> 00:01:11.060
He replied: 'That one's state on the day calamity strikes

00:01:11.060 --> 00:01:13.700
is the same as it was before it struck.'"
