‎● [إقتضاء العلم العمل]

How many of us sit like this - especially during Jumu’ah?!

وعن الشريد بن سويد رضي الله عنه قال مر بي رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وأنا جالس وقد وضعت يدي اليسرى خلف ظهري واتكأت على ألية يدي فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لا تقعد قعدة المغضوب عليهم

رواه أبو داود وابن حبان في صحيحه وزاد قال ابن جريج وضع راحتيك على الأرض {وراء ظهره}

ash-Sharīd b. Suwaid رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ passed by me when I was sitting with my left hand behind my back and leaning on my palm.

On seeing me in this posture he said, “Do you sit like those upon whom the Wrath of Allāh has descended?”

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله:

"Friday prayer is one of the most important obligations in Islam, and one of the greatest gatherings of the Muslims. Gathering on Friday is more important and more obligatory than any other gathering apart from ‘Arafah. Whoever neglects it, Allāh will place a seal on his heart."

[Zaad Al-Ma’aad | Book 3, Pg. 31-32]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله said:

"Indeed a servant will come on the Day of Judgement with good deeds to the extent of mountains, however he then finds that his TONGUE destroyed all of them."

‎[الداء والدواء للإمام ابن قيم الجوزية صحفة ٣٥٧]

Ibn al-Qayyim رحمه الله listed a few consequences of sinning/disobeying Allāh:

• Lack of success
• Corrupt views
• Blindness from truth
• Corruption of the heart
• Failing to remember Allāh
• Wasting of time
• Avoidance and hate by the creation
• Separation between the servant and his Lord
• Supplication not being answered
• Hardness of the heart
• Decaying of blessing in provision and age
• Prevention from attaining knowledge
• Humiliation
• Insults from the enemies
• Constriction of the chest
• Affliction with evil friendship, those who corrupt the heart and make one waste the time
• Prolonging of sadness and grief
• Miserable life
• and Disappointment

All this results from sinning and and neglecting to remember Allāh, just as crops are grown by being watered and are consumed by fire.
