The Plea of Abu Ubaydah al-Khawwas at Arafah: “O Lord, I Have Grown Old — So Free Me from the Fire”
Sheikh Muhammad Sa’eed Raslan حفظه الله

Shaykh Sulayman Ar-Ruhayli, may Allah preserve him, said:
“My brother and my sister, in ʿArafāt and in other places throughout the earth, persist abundantly in supplication on this day while you are certain of the response, affirming the Oneness of your Lord, acknowledging your sin, and declaring your Lord far above thinking that He is unable to do anything that you ask of Him, or that all of His creation ask of Him together. And all of this is gathered in the supplication of the righteous servant Dhū al-Nūn:
(لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ)
“None has the right to be worshipped except You, far removed are You from every imperfection, indeed I was from the wrongdoers.”
Believe it with your heart and make it part of your supplication.”
The Prophet ﷺ said:
“The supplication of Dhū al-Nūn when he supplicated while in the belly of the whale was:
(لَا إِلٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ)
‘None has the right to be worshipped except You, far removed are You from every imperfection, indeed I was from the wrongdoers.’
No Muslim ever supplicates with it regarding anything whatsoever except that Allah responds to him.”

Eid Mubārak. May Allah accept from us and from you.
May He make this blessed day a day of joy, happiness, and gratitude, and a true beginning of nearness to Him—not a conclusion of striving, but an opening to constancy.

The Virtue of the Days of Tashrīq
Ibn Rajab, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
“The days of Tashrīq are the eleventh, twelfth, and thirteenth days of the month of Dhul-Ḥijjah, and there have come regarding their virtue verses and hadiths, from them:
1 — The statement of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic:
“And remember Allah during the appointed Days.” [al-Baqarah: 203]
The appointed days are the days of Tashrīq. This was said by Ibn ʿUmar, may Allah be pleased with him, and it was chosen by the majority of the scholars.
2 — The statement of the Prophet ﷺ regarding the days of Tashrīq:
“Indeed they are days of eating, drinking, and the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.”
And the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, which has been commanded during the days of Tashrīq, is of various types:
From them: The remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, after the obligatory prayers by making takbīr after them, and it is legislated until the end of the days of Tashrīq according to the majority of the scholars.
And from them: Remembering Him with mentioning His Name and making takbīr when slaughtering the sacrificial animals, for indeed the time for slaughtering the sacrificial offerings and sacrifices extends until the end of the days of Tashrīq.
And from them: The remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, upon eating and drinking, for indeed what is legislated during eating and drinking is that one mentions the Name of Allah at its beginning and praises Him at its end. And in the hadith from the Prophet ﷺ:
“Indeed Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, is pleased with the servant that he eats a meal and praises Him for it, and drinks a drink and praises Him for it.”
And from them: Remembering Him with takbīr when pelting the jamarāt during the days of Tashrīq, and this is specific to the pilgrims.
And from them: The unrestricted remembrance of Allah, for indeed it is recommended to increase in it during the days of Tashrīq. ʿUmar, may Allah be pleased with him, would make takbīr in Minā within his tent, so the people would hear him and make takbīr, until Minā would tremble with takbīr.
And Allah, the Most High, said:
“So when you have accomplished your Manasik [(i.e. Ihram, Tawaf of the Ka’bah and As-Safa and Al-Marwah), stay at ’Arafat, Muzdalifah and Mina, ramy of Jamarat, slaughtering of Hady (animal), etc.], remember Allah as you remember your fore-fathers or with a far more remembrance. But of mankind there are some who say: ‘Our Lord! Give us (Your Bounties) in this world!’ and for such there will be no portion in the Hereafter.
And of them there are some who say: ‘Our Lord! Give us in this world that which is good and in the Hereafter that which is good, and save us from the torment of the Fire!’” [al-Baqarah: 200–201]
And many of the Salaf considered it recommended to increase in this supplication during the days of Tashrīq.
And in the statement of the Prophet ﷺ:
“Indeed they are days of eating, drinking, and the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic”
is an indication that eating and drinking during the days of ʿEid are only to be used as a means of aiding oneself upon the remembrance of Allah, the Most High, and His obedience. And this is from the completion of gratitude for the blessing — that one uses it to aid himself upon acts of obedience.
And Allah, the Most High, commanded in His Book the eating of the lawful good things and gratitude to Him. So whoever uses the blessings of Allah to aid himself upon disobedience to Him has indeed disbelieved in the blessing of Allah and replaced it with disbelief, and he is deserving that it be taken away from him, as it has been said:
‘If you are in a blessing, then safeguard it,
For indeed sins remove blessings.
And continue upon it with gratitude to Allah, For gratitude to Allah removes calamities.’
3 — The Prophet ﷺ prohibited fasting them:
“Do not fast these days, for indeed they are days of eating, drinking, and the remembrance of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.”
📚 Laṭāʾif al-Maʿārif by Ibn Rajab, p. 500.

🌿 Announcement of Our New WhatsApp Channel
📱 Join our WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029Vb7iAZO7j6fz3bL0Xv2k
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
We are delighted to announce the launch of our new WhatsApp Channel, established especially for our dear brothers and sisters who wish to benefit from authentic Islamic knowledge but may not have access to other social media platforms. This channel has been created as a means of spreading beneficial knowledge, sharing sincere reminders, and bringing the guidance of the Qur’an and the Sunnah closer to the hearts of English-speaking Muslims.
In a time when distractions have multiplied, desires have been beautified, and hearts are constantly pulled in every direction, the believer remains in desperate need of reminders that revive the soul, strengthen īmān, increase certainty, and reconnect him to the path of righteousness. It is our hope that this channel will serve as a means of such benefit by the permission of Allah.
📖 On our channel, you will find:
• Translated videos from trusted Salafi scholars
• Authentic advice rooted in the Qur’an and Sunnah
• Beneficial reminders that soften hearts and awaken heedless souls
• Timeless gems, wisdoms, and quotations from the Salaf
• Short educational clips covering ʿAqīdah, Fiqh, Manners, and Spiritual Purification
• Powerful admonitions, sincere counsel, and practical guidance for daily life
• Knowledge that strengthens certainty, rectifies worship, cultivates noble character, and increases steadfastness upon the truth
Our objective is not merely to share information, but to connect Muslims to the methodology of the Salaf al-Ṣāliḥ (the Righteous Predecessors), for it is the path of guidance, safety, and success in this world and the Hereafter. Through these reminders, translations, and beneficial excerpts from the scholars of Ahl al-Sunnah, we hope to contribute—even if only in a small way—to the revival of hearts, the spread of authentic knowledge, and the strengthening of adherence to the Qur’an and the Sunnah.
We ask Allah, who has no deity worthy of worship except Him, to make this effort sincerely for His Noble Face, to place blessing in it, to benefit the Muslims through it, and to make it a means of guidance for those who have gone astray, steadfastness for the believers, knowledge for the seekers of truth, and an ongoing source of reward for all those who support, share, and benefit from it.
We warmly invite you to join us, benefit from what is shared, and forward it to your family, friends, and loved ones. For perhaps a single verse, a single hadith, or a single sincere reminder may become the cause of a person’s guidance, rectification, or salvation by the permission of Allah.
As the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever guides to goodness will have a reward similar to the reward of the one who does it.”
May Allah make us keys to goodness and locks against evil.

Acting Upon the Qur’an
Shaykh Muhammad ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen, may Allah have mercy upon him, said:
Likewise is the hadith of al-Nawwās ibn Samʿān, may Allah be pleased with him, in which the Prophet ﷺ informed that whoever recites the Qur’an and acts upon it, then on the Day of Resurrection Sūrah al-Baqarah and Āl ʿImrān will come forward before him, pleading on behalf of their companion on the Day of Resurrection.
However, in this hadith the Messenger ﷺ restricted the recitation of the Qur’an with acting upon it, because those who recite the Qur’an are divided into two categories:
One category does not act upon the Qur’an. They neither believe in its reports nor act according to its rulings. Such people—the Qur’an will be a proof against them.
The second category are those who believe in its reports, affirm them, and act according to its rulings. These people—the Qur’an will be a proof for them, pleading on their behalf on the Day of Resurrection, because the Prophet ﷺ said:
“The Qur’an is either a proof for you or against you.”
In this is proof that the most important matter concerning the Qur’an is acting upon it.
This is further supported by the statement of Allah, Blessed and Exalted:
﴿ كِتَابٌ أَنزَلْنَاهُ إِلَيْكَ مُبَارَكٌ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ ﴾
“(This is) a Book which We have sent down to you, full of blessings, that they may ponder over its verses, and that men of understanding may remember.” [Ṣād: 29]
His statement:
﴿ لِّيَدَّبَّرُوا آيَاتِهِ ﴾
“that they may ponder over its verses”
Meaning: that they understand its meanings.
And His statement:
﴿ وَلِيَتَذَكَّرَ أُولُو الْأَلْبَابِ ﴾
“and that men of understanding may remember”
Meaning: and act upon it.
Acting was mentioned after pondering because acting cannot occur without reflection and understanding, since reflection leads to knowledge, and action is a branch stemming from knowledge.
So the conclusion is that this is the purpose behind the revelation of the Qur’an: that it be recited and acted upon, its reports believed in, its rulings implemented, and its commands carried out.
