2- The Garden of Guidance.

00:00:05.000 --> 00:00:07.500
3- Allah Almighty said:

00:00:07.500 --> 00:00:19.600
“They said: Is it indeed thou who art Joseph? He said: I am Joseph and this is my brother. Allah hath shown us favour. Lo! he who wardeth off (evil) and endureth (findeth favour); for lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the kindly.” (12:90)

00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:23.000
5- And on the authority of Mu'awiyah ibn Qurrah, from his father,

00:00:23.000 --> 00:00:29.260
6- that a man used to come to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) accompanied by a young son of his.

00:00:29.260 --> 00:00:34.890
7- The Prophet (peace be upon him) asked him, "Do you love him?"

00:00:34.890 --> 00:00:41.509
8- He replied, "O Messenger of Allah, may Allah love you as much as I love him!"

00:00:41.509 --> 00:00:45.310
9- Later, the Prophet (peace be upon him) noticed his absence,

00:00:45.310 --> 00:00:48.810
10- and asked, "What happened to the son of so-and-so?"

00:00:48.810 --> 00:00:52.500
11- They said, "O Messenger of Allah, he has passed away."

00:00:52.500 --> 00:00:56.600
12- So the Prophet (peace be upon him) said to his father,

00:00:56.600 --> 00:01:04.129
13- "Would you not love that you do not come to any gate of Paradise without finding him waiting for you?"

00:01:04.129 --> 00:01:10.930
14- A man asked, "O Messenger of Allah, is this specifically for him or for all of us?"

00:01:10.930 --> 00:01:14.689
15- He replied, "Rather, it is for all of you."

00:01:15.189 --> 00:01:18.670
Related by Ahmad. A beneficial point:

00:01:18.670 --> 00:01:24.680
And on the authority of 'Amr ibn Qays al-Mula'i (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding the saying of the Almighty:

00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:32.180
"So patience is most fitting," he said, "It is being content with the affliction and submitting to Allah's decree."
