● {Mu‘jam al-Awṣāt by Imām Ṭabarānī (6119)}

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “The Qur’ān is an intercessor entitled with intercession (for its reciters) and it is an entrusted disputer (against those who neglect it), whoever places it in front of him, it will lead him to Paradise and whoever puts it behind him, it will lead him to the Hellfire.”

‎● [رواه ابن حبان في الموارد صفحة ٤٤٣ ، صححه الألباني]

So aim to make it part of your daily routine. InshaAllah we will see how good it feels to make the Qur'ān a priority.

Remember it will only take a short time from your day but the rewards you will gain in this life and the next will be unimaginable.

Every minute will be well worth it and well spent. It can only bring good to this life and the next إن شاء الله.

You no longer need to make excuses to yourself or feel guilty about not reading the Qur'an regularly.

The Prophet ﷺ said: “Human wives will have more virtue than the Ḥoor al-‘Ayn because they worshipped Allāh…”

The Prophet ﷺ drew a square and then drew a line in the middle of it and let it extend outside the square and then drew several small lines attached to that central line, and said:

"This is the human being, and this, (the square) in his lease of life, encircles him from all sides (or has encircled him), and this (line), which is outside (the square), is his hope, and these small lines are the calamities and troubles (which may befall him), and if one misses him, another will snap (i.e. overtake) him, and if the other misses him, a third will snap (i.e. overtake) him."

✒ A Supplication In Prayer That Amazed The Prophet ﷺ

‎عن ابن عمر قال بينما نحن نصلي مع رسول الله إذ قال رجل من القوم : الله أكبر كبيرا والحمد لله كثيرا وسبحان الله بكرة وأصيلا ، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : من القائل كلمة كذا وكذا ؟ فقال رجل من القوم : أنا يا رسول الله قال : عجبت لها ، فُتحت لها أبواب السماء
‎قال ابن عمر : فما تركتهنّ منذ سمعت رسول الله يقول ذلك

From Ibn ‘Umar Raḍi-Allāhu 'Anhumā who said: Whilst we were praying with the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ a man from amongst people recited;

Allaahu Akbaru Kabeeran Wal Ḥamdulillaahi Katheeran Wa SubḥaanAllaahi Bukratan Wa Aṣeelaa,

(Allāh is Great, the Greatest, and praise belongs to Allāh in abundance, and glorified be Allāh at the beginning and end of the day),

So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ asked (after prayer): “Who said such and such?!!”

The man replied: “I did O Messenger of Allāh.”

So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “I was amazed by it, for it opened the gates of heaven.”

Ibn 'Umar Raḍi-Allāhu 'Anhumā said: “I have not abandoned them (i.e these words) since I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ saying that.”

‎● [صحيح مسلم]

Note: Sh. al-Albānī Raḥimahullāh mentioned in his book (صفة صلاة النبي) that this Dhikr is from one of the supplications with which the prayer is opened (after the first Takbeer).

Prophet ﷺ said: “May Allāh curse the briber and the one who is bribed.”

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : إن الله تعالى ليحمي عبده المؤمن من الدنيا وهو يحبه ، كما تحمون مريضكم الطعام والشراب تخافون عليه

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Verily Allāh Ta'ālā protects His believing servant from the (wealth and share) of the Dunyā out of His love for him just like you protect your sick from (too much) food and drink out of fear (of harm) for him.”

● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير ١٨١٤ ، صححه الألباني]

✒ Beware Of Oppressing A Soul

قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم : الظلم ثلاثة : فظلم لا يغفره الله ، وظلم يغفره ، وظلم لا يتركه ؛ فأما الظلم الذي لا يغفره الله فالشرك ، قال الله : إن الشرك لظلم عظيم ، وأما الظلم الذي يغفره فظلم العباد أنفسهم فيما بينهم وبين ربهم ، وأما الظلم الذي لا يتركه الله فظلم العباد بعضهم بعضاً حتى يدير لبعضهم من بعض

The Messenger of Allāh Ṣallallāhu-'Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Oppression is of three types:

• Oppression that Allāh does not forgive
• Oppression that He forgives
• Oppression that He holds off from

So as for oppression which Allāh does not forgive then it is Shirk (polytheism), Allāh says: 'Verily, ash-Shirk (joining others with Allāh in worship) is a great oppression.' • [al-Qur’ān 31:13],

And as for oppression which He forgives then it is the oppression of slaves upon themselves in what is between them and their Lord (i.e any sin less than major Shirk),

And as for oppression which Allāh holds off from then it is the oppression of slaves upon each other UNTIL it is settled between themselves (i.e until the oppressed one is compensated).”

● [مختصر صحيح الجامع الصغير ٣٩٦١ ، قال الشيخ الألباني : الحديث عندي حسن

Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever loves that he is pleased by his record (of deeds) should seek (Allāh's) Forgiveness abundantly.”

Wearing An Engagement Ring

This enters under the saying of the Messenger [ﷺ]:

❝Indeed incantations, amulets and Tiwalah [a form of magic] are Shirk.❞

[Collected By Ahmad And Abu Dawood ]

-

Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Uthaymeen [رحمه الله] gave the example that an engagement ring is a Tiwalah and he explained:

❝If the people believe that it can benefit or harm, then with this intention it is from the minor Shirk, and even if this intention is not there - and this is highly unlikely that he does not have this intention - it is resemblance of the Christians since it is taken from them.❞

[Al-Qawl al-Mufeed Ala Kitaab al Tawheed, (1/228-229)]

On the authority of Anas who said that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] met Abu Dharr, and said to him:

❝‘O Abu Dharr Shall I not inform you of two characteristics which are lighter on your back and heavier on the scales than other than them?’

He answered: ‘Of course O Messenger of Allaah.’

He said: ‘You should have good manners and remain silent for a long time. I swear by He in whose Hand is my soul no-one has acted upon better than the likes of these two characteristics.’❞

[Silsilah Ahadeeth As-Saheehah of al-Albāni, (No. 1938)]
