00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
The Forty Hadith of al-Nawawi.

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:09,500
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both,

3
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,500
the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

4
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:18,699
"Indeed, Allah has pardoned for my sake my Ummah's unintentional mistakes, their forgetfulness,

5
00:00:18,699 --> 00:00:21,859
and what they have been forced to do under duress."

6
00:00:21,859 --> 00:00:23,859
It is a good (hasan) hadith,

7
00:00:23,859 --> 00:00:29,390
narrated by Ibn Majah, al-Bayhaqi, and others.

8
00:00:29,390 --> 00:00:32,390
This hadith demonstrates the vastness of Allah Almighty's mercy

9
00:00:32,390 --> 00:00:35,390
toward His servants, as He has lifted the burden of sin from them

10
00:00:35,390 --> 00:00:38,390
in cases of unintentional error,

11
00:00:38,390 --> 00:00:41,390
forgetfulness, and coercion.

12
00:00:41,390 --> 00:00:43,390
This underscores the ease and practicality of the Sharia

13
00:00:43,390 --> 00:00:46,390
and the removal of undue hardship from people;

14
00:00:46,390 --> 00:00:49,390
for a Muslim is held accountable only for what they intentionally meant

15
00:00:49,390 --> 00:00:52,390
and carried out of their own free will.

16
00:00:52,390 --> 00:00:55,390
Thus, this hadith instills peace of mind in the soul,

17
00:00:55,390 --> 00:00:57,390
eases the burden upon the servants,

18
00:00:57,390 --> 00:01:01,390
and affirms that the religion of Islam is one of mercy and justice,

19
00:01:01,390 --> 00:01:06,390
not burdening people with what is beyond their power to repel.
