1 00:00:00,140 --> 00:00:02,500 Allah the Exalted says: 2 00:00:02,500 --> 00:00:24,789 “And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off (evil).” (25:74) 3 00:00:24,789 --> 00:00:28,789 A man asked al-Hasan al-Basri about this verse: 4 00:00:29,109 --> 00:00:36,310 “And who say: Our Lord! Vouchsafe us comfort of our wives and of our offspring, and make us patterns for (all) those who ward off (evil).” (25:74) 5 00:00:36,310 --> 00:00:40,789 "Is this 'coolness of the eyes' in this world or in the Hereafter?" 6 00:00:40,789 --> 00:00:44,350 He replied, "Rather, it is in this world." 7 00:00:44,350 --> 00:00:48,850 "By Allah, it is for the servant to see obedience to Allah in his children." 8 00:00:48,850 --> 00:00:52,350 "And there is nothing more cooling to the eye of the believer," 9 00:00:52,350 --> 00:00:55,850 "than to see his loved one in obedience to Allah."
