1
00:00:00,560 --> 00:00:03,359
The Garden of Guidance.

2
00:00:03,359 --> 00:00:07,860
Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, said:

3
00:00:07,860 --> 00:00:19,859
“They will be awarded the high place forasmuch as they were steadfast, and they will meet therein with welcome and the ward of peace,” (25:75)

4
00:00:19,859 --> 00:00:24,260
On the authority of 'A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, who said:

5
00:00:24,260 --> 00:00:30,460
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, opened a door between himself and the people,

6
00:00:30,460 --> 00:00:32,460
or he drew back a curtain,

7
00:00:32,460 --> 00:00:36,460
and saw the people praying behind Abu Bakr.

8
00:00:36,460 --> 00:00:40,549
He praised Allah for the good state he saw them in,

9
00:00:40,549 --> 00:00:45,549
hoping that Allah would preserve them in the same good condition after him.

10
00:00:45,549 --> 00:00:47,549
Then he said:

11
00:00:47,549 --> 00:00:49,549
"O people!

12
00:00:49,549 --> 00:00:53,549
Whosoever among the people, or among the believers,

13
00:00:53,549 --> 00:00:55,549
is afflicted with a calamity,

14
00:00:55,549 --> 00:01:01,549
let him find solace in the calamity of losing me for any other calamity that befalls him.

15
00:01:01,549 --> 00:01:09,549
For indeed, no one from my Ummah will ever be afflicted after me with a calamity greater upon him than the calamity of my loss."

16
00:01:09,549 --> 00:01:11,939
Narrated by Ibn Majah.

17
00:01:11,939 --> 00:01:15,500
A Point of Benefit:

18
00:01:15,500 --> 00:01:19,500
'Abdullah Ibn Muhammad al-Harawi, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

19
00:01:19,500 --> 00:01:21,500
"Among the jewels of righteousness

20
00:01:21,500 --> 00:01:23,500
is concealing one's calamity,

21
00:01:23,500 --> 00:01:26,500
to the extent that people think you have never been afflicted at all."
