00:11:46.519 Look at what you love next to you in your grave 00:11:46.519 --> 00:11:50.860 So he worked on it 00:11:50.860 --> 00:11:52.860 The grave is the comfort of the believer 00:11:52.860 --> 00:11:59.389 On the authority of Abu Ayyub bin Al-Ansari, may God be pleased with him, he said 00:11:59.389 --> 00:12:01.419 If you catch the soul of a slave 00:12:01.419 --> 00:12:05.419 The people of mercy received it from the servants of God 00:12:05.419 --> 00:12:08.419 They also receive good tidings in this world 00:12:08.419 --> 00:12:11.490 They come to him to ask him 00:12:11.490 -->

what so-and-so did 00:12:24.580 --> 00:12:26.580 What did so-and-so do? 00:12:26.580 --> 00:12:28.580 Did you get married? 00:12:28.580 --> 00:12:32.580 If they ask about the man who died before him 00:12:32.580 --> 00:12:33.580 He told them 00:12:33.580 --> 00:12:35.620 He has perished 00:12:35.620 --> 00:12:37.620 And they say 00:12:37.620 --> 00:12:40.620 We belong to Allah and to Him we shall return 00:12:40.620 --> 00:12:43.620 He took him to his mother, Hades 00:12:43.620 --> 00:12:45.620 So miserable is the mother 00:12:45.620 --> 00:12:47.620 What a miserable nanny 00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:48.710 He said 00:12:48.710 --> 00:12:51.710 He shows them their work 00:12:51.710 --> 00:12:53.710 If they see well 00:12:53.710 --> 00:12:55.710 They were happy and rejoiced 00:12:55.710 -->

something bad, they say it 00:13:03.710 --> 00:13:06.710 Oh God, return to your servant 00:13:06.710 --> 00:13:10.000 Masruq, may God have mercy on him, said 00:13:10.000 --> 00:13:14.000 There is no home better for a believer than another 00:13:14.000 --> 00:13:18.000 He found rest from the worries of the world 00:13:18.000 --> 00:13:20.000 And he is safe from God's punishment 00:13:20.000 -->
