On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

4
00:00:20,140 --> 00:00:24,140
that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

5
00:00:24,140 --> 00:00:27,199
"While a man was walking along a path,

6
00:00:27,199 --> 00:00:30,199
he was overcome by severe thirst.

7
00:00:30,199 --> 00:00:33,200
He found a well, climbed down into it,

8
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:35,200
drank, and then came out.

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:37,200
Suddenly, he saw a dog panting,

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,200
eating the moist earth out of extreme thirst.

11
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:42,200
The man said:

12
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,200
'This dog has reached the same point of thirst

13
00:00:45,200 --> 00:00:48,200
that I had reached.'

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:50,200
So he climbed down into the well,

15
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:52,200
filled his leather sock with water,

16
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,200
and held it with his mouth

17
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:57,200
until he climbed back up and gave the dog a drink.

18
00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,200
Allah appreciated his deed and forgave him."

19
00:01:00,200 --> 00:01:03,299
They asked, "O Messenger of Allah!

20
00:01:03,299 --> 00:01:06,299
Shall we truly have a reward regarding beasts?"

21
00:01:06,299 --> 00:01:11,299
He replied, "For serving every living being, there is a reward."

22
00:01:11,299 --> 00:01:13,390

25
00:01:19,390 --> 00:01:21,489
and admitted him into Paradise."

26
00:01:21,489 --> 00:01:23,489
In another narration of both:

27
00:01:23,489 --> 00:01:26,489
"While a dog was circling a well,

28
00:01:26,489 --> 00:01:29,489
on the verge of dying of thirst,

29
00:01:29,489 --> 00:01:33,489
a prostitute from the Children of Israel saw it.

30
00:01:33,489 --> 00:01:35,489
She took off her leather sock,

31
00:01:35,489 --> 00:01:38,489
drew water with it, and quenched its thirst,

32
00:01:38,489 --> 00:01:40,780
so she was forgiven because of it."

for they are of His creation.

60
00:02:44,969 --> 00:02:46,969
The vastness of His bounty, Glorified is He,

61
00:02:46,969 --> 00:02:49,969
as He may forgive major sins

62
00:02:49,969 --> 00:02:51,969
on account of an easy, small good deed.

63
00:02:51,969 --> 00:02:54,099
One should never belittle any

64
00:02:54,099 --> 00:02:56,099
act of righteousness,

65
00:02:56,099 --> 00:02:58,099
for it may well be the cause

66
00:02:58,099 --> 00:03:00,289

67
00:03:00,289 --> 00:03:02,289

72
00:03:10,639 --> 00:03:12,639
for these were actions

73
00:03:12,639 --> 00:03:14,639
untouched by the bane of ostentation,

74
00:03:14,639 --> 00:03:16,639
because they performed them

75

without being seen by anyone

76
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,919

from the middle of the road

84
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:37,949
that used to cause harm to Muslims."

Narrated by Muslim.

86
00:03:40,020 --> 00:03:42,020

88
00:03:44,020 --> 00:03:46,020
lying across a road

89
00:03:46,020 --> 00:03:48,020

90
00:03:48,020 --> 00:03:50,020

91
00:03:50,020 --> 00:03:52,020
from the way of the Muslims so it does not harm them.'

92
00:03:52,020 --> 00:03:54,020

along a road,

96
00:04:00,210 --> 00:04:02,210
he found a thorny branch on the path

97
00:04:02,210 --> 00:04:04,210
and moved it aside.

98
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:06,210
Allah appreciated his deed

99
00:04:06,210 --> 00:04:09,550

Among the benefits of the hadith:

Encouragement toward

111

and care for them.

121
00:04:53,819 --> 00:04:55,980
This is the reward of one who removes

122
00:04:55,980 --> 00:04:57,980
what harms people along their physical

123
00:04:57,980 --> 00:04:59,980
paths;

124
00:04:59,980 --> 00:05:01,980
what then of one who lifts ignorance from them

125
00:05:01,980 --> 00:05:03,980
and clarifies for them the path

126
00:05:03,980 --> 00:05:07,230

127
00:05:07,230 --> 00:05:09,230
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

128
00:05:09,230 --> 00:05:11,230

perfecting his ablution,

132
00:05:17,230 --> 00:05:19,230
and then comes to Friday prayer,

133
00:05:19,230 --> 00:05:21,230
listens and remains silent,

134
00:05:21,230 --> 00:05:23,230
he will be forgiven for what occurs between that and the next Friday,

135
00:05:23,230 --> 00:05:25,230
plus an extra three days.

136
00:05:25,230 --> 00:05:27,230
And whoever fiddles with pebbles

137
00:05:27,230 --> 00:05:29,230
has engaged in idle distraction."

138
00:05:29,230 --> 00:05:31,329
Narrated by Muslim.

139
00:05:31,329 --> 00:05:34,290

*Laghā* (engaged in idle distraction):

145
00:05:44,610 --> 00:05:46,610
*Laghw* is null, useless speech

146
00:05:46,610 --> 00:05:48,610

147
00:05:48,610 --> 00:05:51,439

150
00:05:55,860 --> 00:05:57,860
explained by the Messenger of Allah,

151
00:05:57,860 --> 00:05:59,860
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him.

152
00:05:59,860 --> 00:06:02,110
Preserving and maintaining

153
00:06:02,110 --> 00:06:04,110
the Friday prayer,

which is obligatory upon every

155
00:06:06,110 --> 00:06:08,110
Muslim and is only valid

156
00:06:08,110 --> 00:06:10,339
when performed in congregation.

157
00:06:10,339 --> 00:06:12,339
The Friday prayer expiates

158
00:06:12,339 --> 00:06:14,339
the sins of ten days,

159
00:06:14,339 --> 00:06:16,339
because a good deed is rewarded tenfold

160
00:06:16,339 --> 00:06:18,339
its like.

161
00:06:18,339 --> 00:06:20,339
The condition for this is

162
00:06:20,339 --> 00:06:22,339
listening attentively and refraining from idle distraction.

163
00:06:22,339 --> 00:06:24,589
The obligation of listening attentively

164
00:06:24,589 --> 00:06:26,589
to the Friday sermon

165
00:06:26,589 --> 00:06:28,589
and not being distracted from it

166
00:06:28,589 --> 00:06:32,449
by any speech or anything else.

167
00:06:32,449 --> 00:06:34,449
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

168
00:06:34,449 --> 00:06:36,449
that the Messenger of Allah,

169
00:06:36,449 --> 00:06:38,449

the Muslim—or

172
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:44,480
believing—servant performs ablution and washes his face,

173
00:06:44,480 --> 00:06:46,480
there comes out from his face

174
00:06:46,480 --> 00:06:48,480
every sin committed by looking

175
00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,480
with his eyes, along with the water

176
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,480
or with the last drop of water.

177
00:06:52,480 --> 00:06:54,540
And when he washes

178
00:06:54,540 --> 00:06:56,540
his hands, there comes out from his hands

179
00:06:56,540 --> 00:06:58,540
every sin

180
00:06:58,540 --> 00:07:00,540
his hands struck out with, along with the water

181
00:07:00,540 --> 00:07:02,540
or with the last drop of water.

182
00:07:02,540 --> 00:07:04,540
And when

183
00:07:04,540 --> 00:07:06,540
he washes his feet,

184
00:07:06,540 --> 00:07:08,540
there comes out every sin

00:07:10,540 --> 00:07:12,540
or with the last drop of water,

187
00:07:12,540 --> 00:07:14,540
until he emerges

188
00:07:14,540 --> 00:07:16,540
purified of sins."

189
00:07:16,540 --> 00:07:18,639
Narrated by Muslim.

190
00:07:18,639 --> 00:07:21,660
Among the benefits of the hadith:

191
00:07:21,660 --> 00:07:23,819
The virtue of ablution,

192
00:07:23,819 --> 00:07:25,819
and that persisting in it regularly

193
00:07:25,819 --> 00:07:27,819
is a means to the forgiveness

194
00:07:27,819 --> 00:07:30,079
of sins.

195
00:07:30,079 --> 00:07:32,079
Every limb of the human body

196
00:07:32,079 --> 00:07:34,079
is prone to committing certain sins:

197
00:07:34,079 --> 00:07:36,079
the eye through looking,

198
00:07:36,079 --> 00:07:38,079
the hand through assault and theft,

199
00:07:38,079 --> 00:07:40,079
and the like.

200
00:07:40,079 --> 00:07:42,079
Therefore, sins follow

201
00:07:42,079 --> 00:07:44,079
every limb that committed them,

202
00:07:44,079 --> 00:07:46,079
and they depart from every limb

203
00:07:46,079 --> 00:07:48,079
that has repented from them.

204
00:07:48,079 --> 00:07:50,430
It is understood from this hadith

205
00:07:50,430 --> 00:07:52,430
that two benefits are obtained from wudu:

206
00:07:52,430 --> 00:07:54,430
purification of the body

207
00:07:54,430 --> 00:07:56,430
from filth,

208
00:07:56,430 --> 00:07:58,430
and purification of the soul

209
00:07:58,430 --> 00:08:01,709
from sins.

210
00:08:01,709 --> 00:08:03,709
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

211
00:08:03,709 --> 00:08:05,709
from the Messenger of Allah,

212
00:08:05,709 --> 00:08:07,709
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him,

213
00:08:07,709 --> 00:08:09,709
who said:

214
00:08:09,709 --> 00:08:11,709
"The five daily prayers,

215
00:08:11,709 --> 00:08:13,709
the Friday prayer to the next Friday prayer,

216
00:08:13,709 --> 00:08:15,709
and Ramadan to Ramadan

217
00:08:15,709 --> 00:08:17,709
are expiations for what lies between them,

218
00:08:17,709 --> 00:08:19,709
provided the major sins are avoided."

219
00:08:19,709 --> 00:08:21,779
Narrated by Muslim.

220
00:08:24,610 --> 00:08:26,740
Among the benefits of the hadith:

221
00:08:26,740 --> 00:08:28,740
Clarifying the virtue of Friday and Ramadan,

222
00:08:28,740 --> 00:08:30,740
and performing the prayers every day.

223
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:34,990
Performing the five daily prayers every day,

224
00:08:34,990 --> 00:08:36,990
and observing Friday and Ramadan

225
00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:38,990
in the best manner

226
00:08:38,990 --> 00:08:40,990
becomes a cause

227
00:08:40,990 --> 00:08:42,990
for Allah, the Almighty and Majestic, to forgive,

228
00:08:42,990 --> 00:08:44,990
by His grace and mercy,

229
00:08:44,990 --> 00:08:46,990
the minor sins committed between them.

230
00:08:50,590 --> 00:08:52,590
On the authority of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him,

231
00:08:52,590 --> 00:08:54,590
who said:

232
00:08:54,590 --> 00:08:56,590
The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

233
00:08:56,590 --> 00:08:58,590
"Shall I not guide you

234
00:08:58,590 --> 00:09:00,590
to that by which Allah erases

235
00:09:00,590 --> 00:09:02,590
sins

236
00:09:02,590 --> 00:09:04,590
and raises ranks?"

237
00:09:04,590 --> 00:09:06,590
They said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah."

238
00:09:06,590 --> 00:09:08,590
He said:

239
00:09:08,590 --> 00:09:10,590
"Performing wudu thoroughly despite difficulties,

240
00:09:10,590 --> 00:09:12,590
taking many steps

241
00:09:12,590 --> 00:09:14,590
to the mosques,

242
00:09:14,590 --> 00:09:16,590
and waiting for the prayer

243
00:09:16,590 --> 00:09:18,590
after the prayer;

244
00:09:18,590 --> 00:09:20,690
that is the ribat (guarding the frontier)."

245
00:09:20,690 --> 00:09:22,690
Narrated by Muslim.

246
00:09:22,690 --> 00:09:25,620
"Performing wudu thoroughly"

247
00:09:25,620 --> 00:09:27,620
means performing it

248
00:09:27,620 --> 00:09:29,740
completely and perfectly.

249
00:09:29,740 --> 00:09:31,740
"Difficulties" (al-makarih)

250
00:09:31,740 --> 00:09:33,740
is the plural of makrah,

251
00:09:33,740 --> 00:09:35,740
which is what a person dislikes

252
00:09:35,740 --> 00:09:37,899
and finds burdensome.

253
00:09:37,899 --> 00:09:39,899
"Ribat"

254
00:09:39,899 --> 00:09:41,899
means stationing oneself at the enemy's borders

255
00:09:41,899 --> 00:09:43,899
and guarding them

256
00:09:43,899 --> 00:09:46,899
to protect the territory of the Muslims.

257
00:09:46,899 --> 00:09:49,059
Among the benefits of the hadith:

258
00:09:49,059 --> 00:09:51,059
The importance of guiding people

259
00:09:51,059 --> 00:09:53,059
to goodness and acts of righteousness

260
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:55,059
that draw them closer

261
00:09:55,059 --> 00:09:57,309
to Allah the Almighty.

262
00:09:57,309 --> 00:09:59,309
Encouraging goodness

263
00:09:59,309 --> 00:10:01,309
even if people do not ask about it,

264
00:10:01,309 --> 00:10:03,309
as it is an educational method

265
00:10:03,309 --> 00:10:05,570
used by the Prophet in upbringing and teaching.

266
00:10:05,570 --> 00:10:07,570
The encouragement to cover

267
00:10:07,570 --> 00:10:09,570
the limbs of wudu by washing

268
00:10:09,570 --> 00:10:11,570
and wiping, and perfecting it,

269
00:10:11,570 --> 00:10:13,570
even if there is

270
00:10:13,570 --> 00:10:15,889
hardship and difficulty in doing so.

271
00:10:15,889 --> 00:10:17,889
Maintaining prayer in

272
00:10:17,889 --> 00:10:20,139
the mosque.

273
00:10:20,139 --> 00:10:22,139
Worship is a form of jihad

274
00:10:22,139 --> 00:10:24,139
and preparation for jihad,

275
00:10:24,139 --> 00:10:26,139
due to the patience, endurance, and fortitude it requires,

276
00:10:26,139 --> 00:10:28,139
as well as restraining the soul

277
00:10:28,139 --> 00:10:30,139
from its desires and waywardness.

278
00:10:30,139 --> 00:10:32,399
These matters

279
00:10:32,399 --> 00:10:34,399
are a means of forgiveness,

280
00:10:34,399 --> 00:10:36,399
for they erase sins

281
00:10:36,399 --> 00:10:38,620
and raise one's ranks.

282
00:10:38,620 --> 00:10:40,620
The merit of a house far

283
00:10:40,620 --> 00:10:42,620
from the mosque over one near to it,

284
00:10:42,620 --> 00:10:44,620
for the further the house is,

285
00:10:44,620 --> 00:10:46,620
the more steps are taken.

286
00:10:47,879 --> 00:10:49,879
Whoever cannot wait for the prayer

287
00:10:49,879 --> 00:10:51,879
and restrain himself

288
00:10:51,879 --> 00:10:53,879
for a period in the houses of Allah,

289
00:10:53,879 --> 00:10:55,879
cannot perform ribat

290
00:10:55,879 --> 00:10:57,879
on the frontiers to protect the lands

291
00:10:57,879 --> 00:10:59,879
of the Muslims and repel

292
00:10:59,879 --> 00:11:01,879
the aggression of the disbelievers.

293
00:11:01,879 --> 00:11:05,029
On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari,

294
00:11:05,029 --> 00:11:07,029
may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

295
00:11:07,029 --> 00:11:09,029
The Messenger of Allah,

296
00:11:09,029 --> 00:11:11,029
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

297
00:11:11,029 --> 00:11:13,029
"Whoever prays the two cool prayers

298
00:11:13,029 --> 00:11:15,029
will enter Paradise."

299
00:11:15,029 --> 00:11:17,129
Agreed upon.

300
00:11:17,129 --> 00:11:19,129
"The two cool prayers"

301
00:11:19,129 --> 00:11:22,700
are the Dawn (Fajr) and the Afternoon (Asr) prayers.

302
00:11:22,700 --> 00:11:24,919
Among the benefits of the hadith:

303
00:11:24,919 --> 00:11:26,919
The merit of maintaining

304
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:29,110
the Fajr and Asr prayers,

305
00:11:29,110 --> 00:11:31,110
and not being preoccupied by sleep

306
00:11:31,110 --> 00:11:33,110
or worldly affairs

307
00:11:33,110 --> 00:11:35,110
from performing the obligatory prayers on time.

308
00:11:35,110 --> 00:11:37,110
For the Dawn prayer

309
00:11:37,110 --> 00:11:39,110
occurs during the pleasure of sleep,

310
00:11:39,110 --> 00:11:41,110
and the Afternoon prayer

311
00:11:41,110 --> 00:11:43,110
occurs during the preoccupation

312
00:11:43,110 --> 00:11:45,269
of finishing the day's work.

313
00:11:45,269 --> 00:11:47,269
Entry into Paradise is not limited

314
00:11:47,269 --> 00:11:50,269
to performing only these two obligatory prayers,

315
00:11:50,269 --> 00:11:52,269
but one must be diligent

316
00:11:52,269 --> 00:11:54,269
regarding all obligatory prayers;

317
00:11:54,269 --> 00:11:56,269
they were specifically mentioned

318
00:11:56,269 --> 00:11:58,269
because some people neglect

319
00:11:58,269 --> 00:12:01,389
them.

320
00:12:01,389 --> 00:12:03,389
On the authority of Abu Musa al-Ash'ari,

321
00:12:03,389 --> 00:12:05,389
may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

322
00:12:05,389 --> 00:12:07,389
The Messenger of Allah,

323
00:12:07,389 --> 00:12:09,389
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

324
00:12:09,389 --> 00:12:11,389
"If a servant falls ill or travels,

325
00:12:11,389 --> 00:12:13,389
there is recorded for him

326
00:12:13,389 --> 00:12:15,389
the like of what he used to do

327
00:12:15,389 --> 00:12:17,389
when resident and healthy."

328
00:12:17,389 --> 00:12:20,860
Narrated by al-Bukhari.

329
00:12:20,860 --> 00:12:22,899
Among the benefits of the hadith:

330
00:12:22,899 --> 00:12:24,899
The vastness of Allah the Almighty's mercy

331
00:12:24,899 --> 00:12:26,899
and His kindness to His servants.

332
00:12:26,899 --> 00:12:29,059
Whoever is unable to perform

333
00:12:29,059 --> 00:12:31,059
the righteous deeds he was accustomed to

334
00:12:31,059 --> 00:12:33,059
due to a valid religious excuse,

335
00:12:33,059 --> 00:12:35,059
such as travel or illness,

336
00:12:35,059 --> 00:12:37,059
while maintaining a firm intention

337
00:12:37,059 --> 00:12:39,059
to perform them

338
00:12:39,059 --> 00:12:41,059
when able,

339
00:12:41,059 --> 00:12:43,059
Allah records his reward for him

340
00:12:43,059 --> 00:12:45,059
as if he were resident and healthy.

341
00:12:45,059 --> 00:12:47,179
This merit

342
00:12:47,179 --> 00:12:49,179
applies to voluntary deeds;

343
00:12:49,179 --> 00:12:51,179
as for the obligatory ones,

344
00:12:51,179 --> 00:12:53,179
they must be performed

345
00:12:53,179 --> 00:12:55,179
whether resident or traveling,

346
00:12:55,179 --> 00:12:58,620
according to one's ability.

347
00:12:58,620 --> 00:13:00,620
On the authority of Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, who said:

348
00:13:00,620 --> 00:13:02,620
The Messenger of Allah,

349
00:13:02,620 --> 00:13:04,620
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

350
00:13:04,620 --> 00:13:06,620
"Every act of kindness

351
00:13:06,620 --> 00:13:08,690
is a charity."

352
00:13:08,690 --> 00:13:10,690
Narrated by al-Bukhari and Muslim.

Encouragement

355
00:13:15,620 --> 00:13:17,620
to perform acts of kindness.

356
00:13:18,620 --> 00:13:20,899
Everything a believer does

357
00:13:20,899 --> 00:13:22,899
of righteous and good deeds

358
00:13:22,899 --> 00:13:24,899
carries a reward and recompense.

361
00:13:31,059 --> 00:13:33,059
peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said:

362
00:13:33,059 --> 00:13:35,120
"There is no Muslim

363
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:37,120
who plants a plant,

364
00:13:37,120 --> 00:13:39,120
but that what is eaten

365
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:41,120
from it is a charity for him,

366
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:43,120
and what is stolen from it

367
00:13:43,120 --> 00:13:45,179
is a charity for him.

368
00:13:45,179 --> 00:13:47,179
No one diminishes it

369
00:13:47,179 --> 00:13:49,179
but that it is a charity for him."

00:13:49,179 --> 00:13:51,220
Narrated by Muslim.

371

In another narration of his:

372
00:13:53,340 --> 00:13:55,340
"A Muslim does not plant a plant

373
00:13:55,340 --> 00:13:57,340
and then a human eats from it,

374
00:13:57,340 --> 00:13:59,340
nor an animal,

375
00:13:59,340 --> 00:14:01,340
nor a bird,

376
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:03,340
but that it is a charity for him

377
00:14:03,340 --> 00:14:05,340
until the Day of Resurrection."

378
00:14:05,340 --> 00:14:07,600
And in another narration of his:

379
00:14:07,600 --> 00:14:09,600
"No Muslim plants

380
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:11,600
a plant

381
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:13,600
or sows a crop,

382
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:15,600
and then a human eats from it,

383
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:17,600
nor an animal, nor anything,

384
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:19,600
but that it is a charity for him."

385
00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:21,980
All these narrations

386
00:14:21,980 --> 00:14:23,980
are from the narration of Anas,

387
00:14:23,980 --> 00:14:25,980
may Allah be pleased with him.

388
00:14:25,980 --> 00:14:28,240
His saying "yarza'uhu"

389
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:30,240
means "diminishes it."

390
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,230
Among the benefits of the hadith:

391
00:14:33,230 --> 00:14:35,580
The difference between

392
00:14:35,580 --> 00:14:37,580
planting (ghars) and sowing (zar'):

393
00:14:37,580 --> 00:14:39,580
planting is for trees,

394
00:14:39,580 --> 00:14:41,580
and sowing is for other types of vegetation.

395
00:14:41,580 --> 00:14:43,870
The encouragement to plant

396
00:14:43,870 --> 00:14:45,870
and farm,

397
00:14:45,870 --> 00:14:47,870
as it is a means of cultivating the earth,

398
00:14:47,870 --> 00:14:49,870
And it is among those deeds

399
00:14:49,870 --> 00:14:51,870
whose reward does not cease

400
00:14:51,870 --> 00:14:54,259
upon the death of the one who performed them.

401
00:14:54,259 --> 00:14:56,259
Striving to bring about benefit

402
00:14:56,259 --> 00:14:58,259
for the creatures of Allah the Exalted,

403
00:14:58,259 --> 00:15:00,259
facilitating their affairs,

404
00:15:00,259 --> 00:15:02,539
and fulfilling their needs.

405
00:15:02,539 --> 00:15:04,539
A Muslim is rewarded for

406
00:15:04,539 --> 00:15:06,539
what is stolen from his wealth,

407
00:15:06,539 --> 00:15:08,539
or what is usurped from him,

408
00:15:08,539 --> 00:15:10,539
or what is destroyed of his property,

409
00:15:10,539 --> 00:15:12,539
if he remains patient and seeks the reward for that

410
00:15:12,539 --> 00:15:15,220
with Allah the Exalted.

411
00:15:15,220 --> 00:15:17,220
Through righteous deeds.

412
00:15:17,220 --> 00:15:19,220
Through righteous deeds.
