00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:07,500
3. Allah, Almighty and Glorious, said:

3
00:00:07,500 --> 00:00:13,500
“Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (2:286)

4
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:18,699
“Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (2:286)

5
00:00:18,699 --> 00:00:28,519
“Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (2:286)

6
00:00:28,519 --> 00:00:40,950
“Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (2:286)

7
00:00:40,950 --> 00:00:54,700
“Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (2:286)

00:00:54,700 --> 00:01:06,780
“Allah tasketh not a soul beyond its scope. For it (is only) that which it hath earned, and against it (only) that which it hath deserved. Our Lord! Condemn us not if we forget, or miss the mark! Our Lord! Lay not on us such a burden as thou didst lay on those before us! Our Lord! Impose not on us that which we have not the strength to bear! Pardon us, absolve us and have mercy on us, Thou, our Protector, and give us victory over the disbelieving folk.” (2:286)

9
00:01:06,780 --> 00:01:09,480
On the authority of Bilal ibn Yasar ibn Zayd,

10
00:01:09,480 --> 00:01:13,280
who said: My father narrated to me on the authority of my grandfather,

11
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,280
that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) say:

12
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:18,980
"Whoever says:

13
00:01:18,980 --> 00:01:26,780
'I seek forgiveness from Allah, the Supreme, beside Whom there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of all existence, and I turn to Him in repentance,'

14
00:01:26,780 --> 00:01:31,200
will be forgiven, even if he has fled from the advancing army."

15
00:01:31,200 --> 00:01:33,200
Reported by al-Tirmidhi.

16
00:01:33,200 --> 00:01:35,269
Benefit:

17
00:01:35,269 --> 00:01:40,280
In this hadith is a precious gift beyond monetary value,

18
00:01:40,280 --> 00:01:43,780
so let us make it a daily devotion along with our regular remembrances,

19
00:01:43,780 --> 00:01:46,780
that our Lord may forgive us.

20
00:01:46,780 --> 00:01:50,409
Pardon (*'afw*) is the complete erasure of the trace of sin,

21
00:01:50,409 --> 00:01:54,409
forgiveness (*maghfirah*) is the veiling of the sinner so that he is not exposed,

22
00:01:54,909 --> 00:01:59,409
and mercy (*rahmah*) is the withholding of punishment for a bad deed,

23
00:01:59,409 --> 00:02:02,409
despite the punishment being deserved.
