0:05
On the authority of Ibn 'Umar:
0:08
A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and asked,
0:13
"O Messenger of Allah,
0:15
which people are most beloved to Allah,
0:17
and which deeds are most beloved to Allah?"
0:20
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) replied:
0:24
"The most beloved of people to Allah Almighty
0:27
are those who are most beneficial to people.
0:29
And the most beloved of deeds to Allah Almighty
0:32
is joy that you bring to a fellow Muslim,
0:35
or relieving him of distress,
0:37
or settling a debt for him,
0:40
or repelling his hunger.
0:42
Walking with a brother to help fulfill his need
0:47
is dearer to me than observing i'tikaf in this mosque—
0:51
meaning the Mosque of Medina—for an entire month.
0:54
Whoever restrains his anger,
0:56
Allah will conceal his faults.
0:58
And whoever suppresses his rage,
1:00
when he could have easily vented it,
1:03
Allah will fill his heart with hope on the Day of Resurrection.
1:07
And whoever walks with his brother to assist him with a need
1:10
until it is fully resolved for him,
1:12
Allah will make his feet firm on the Day when feet slip."
