Forbearance and deliberation.

Two qualities that Allah and His Messenger love.
0:17
As the Messenger, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him, said to Ashajj ‘Abd al-Qays.
0:23
They are the opposites of haste.
0:25
As in the hadith narrated by Anas, may Allah be pleased with him.
0:27
Deliberation is from Allah.

Narrated by al-Bayhaqi.
0:34
And classified as hasan by al-Albani.
0:36
Allah the Exalted has condemned haste in His Book, saying:
0:41
"And man supplicates for evil as he supplicates for good."
0:46
"And man is ever hasty."
0:49
The meaning of forbearance and deliberation is:
0:53
Not rushing into matters before discerning the path of righteousness within them.
0:58
[It is not] for passivity or procrastination until the opportunity is lost.
1:02
Therefore, forbearance and deliberation should be accompanied by a resolve to achieve righteousness once it has been discerned.
1:09
So that this righteousness is not missed.
1:12
This is the requirement of the supplication of the Prophet, peace be upon him.
1:17
"O Allah, I ask You for steadfastness in all matters."
1:21
"And the resolve to follow the path of righteousness."
1:23
As the Prophet, peace be upon him, said:
1:27
"Haste is good in everything,"
1:30
"Except in the deeds of the Hereafter."
1:33
So, whenever the path of goodness and righteousness in a matter becomes clear,
1:36
A person should hasten to it and not procrastinate.
1:40
It is famously said on the tongues of people:
1:42
"The best of righteousness is that which is done promptly."
