PREFACE

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of glory and majesty, the extent of His mercy and the magnitude of His bounty. Peace and blessings be upon Sayyidina Muhammad, who was sent to perfect noble character and who has absolute precedence over all creatures, and upon his family, the leading lights of the Sunnah and his companions who sacrificed themselves to explain the Shari’a and the rulings, and upon the Imams, the Mujtahideen, who guarded the rulings of the religion.

Furthermore, the knowledge of the Prophetic Sunnah, after the Qur’ān, is the greatest of sciences and the highest of honors and pride, because on it are founded the principles of Islamic law, and through it are revealed the details of the Qur’ānic verses, which are concise.

This is so, when its source is a human being who did not speak it (the Qur’an) according to his own whims and fancies, but by revelation revealed to him. The science of sunnah interprets the Qur’an, while the prophet conveyed it to us from his Lord.

When I read the six books of saheeh and reliable hadith, I wanted to choose from them a book that included the best of the good.

I chose from the Prophetic hadiths the wisdom of Muhammadiyah, which covers what is urgently needed in society and is recommended by the unity of Islam, and is organized according to the order of the letters of the Hija’, and to Allah we turn for help.

Know that the Children of Adam were created in various groups. Some of them were born believers and lived believers and died believers. Some of them were born disbelievers and lived as disbelievers and died as disbelievers. Among them are those who are born believers, live as believers and die as disbelievers. Among them are those who are born disbelievers, live as disbelievers and die as believers. Behold, anger is like a burning coal in the belly of the son of Adam. Do you not see the redness of his eyes and the swelling of his neck? When one of you feels something of that, then lay your body on the ground, lay your body on the ground. Know that the best of men are those who are slow to anger and quick to be pleased. And the worst of men is he who is quick to anger, slow to be pleased. If a man is slow to anger and slow to return or quick to anger and quick to return, then he is among those who are equal in good and bad.

Behold, every traitor will have a flag on the Day of Judgment according to the degree of his treachery. Know that the greatest betrayal is that of the leader of the people. Let not fear of people prevent a man from speaking the truth if he knows it. Know that the best jihad is to speak the truth in the face of an unjust ruler. Know that the example of the world that remains of what has passed from it is like your day of what has passed from it. (Hadith narrated by Tirmidhi from Abi Said).

CONCLUSION ON THE EDUCATION OF THE SOUL

FIRST LESSON ON ISLAM AND FAITH

1404. Islam is founded on five things: testifying that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is His slave and messenger, establishing prayer, giving alms, going on pilgrimage to the House of Allah and fasting in the month of Ramadan.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from ibn Umar).

1405. While we were sitting near the Messenger of Allah (SAW), there suddenly appeared before us a man who was very white in clothes, very black in hair and no trace of travel was seen on him. None of us recognized him. He sat facing the Prophet and leaned his knees on his knees and placed his palms on his thighs. The man said: O Muhammad, tell me about Islam? The Prophet replied: Islam is that you testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, you establish prayer, you give zakat, you fast in the month of Ramadan, you go on pilgrimage to the House of Allah if you are able to make your way to it. The man said: You speak the truth. So we were astonished at him. He asked the Prophet and confirmed it. The man said: Tell me about faith? The Prophet replied: You believe in Allah and His angels, His books, His messengers and the last day and you believe in good and bad destiny. The man said: You speak the truth. Then the man said: Tell me about ihsan. The Prophet replied: You worship Allah as if you see Him. If you cannot see Him, He sees you. The man said: Tell me about the Hour? The Prophet replied: The one who is asked about the Hour knows no more than the questioner. The man said: Then tell me about its signs? The Prophet replied: When a slave girl gives birth to her master and when you see people who used to be barefoot, naked and poor shepherds competing to raise buildings. Then the man left and I was silent for a long time. Then the Prophet said: O Umar, do you know who the questioner was? I replied: Allah and His messenger know better. The Prophet said: He is Jibril who came to you to teach you your religion. (Hadith narrated by Muslim from Umar).

THE SECOND LESSON ON THE VIRTUE OF SINCERITY AND THE PROHIBITION OF RIYA’

Allah, may He be exalted, says: “And they were not commanded except that they should worship Allah with pure obedience to Him in the religion of uprightness, and that they should establish prayer and pay alms, and such is the upright religion.” (Al-Bayyinah: 5).

1406. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Verily, deeds must be done with intention, and every person gets what he intends. Whoever makes hijra for Allah and His Messenger, his hijra will be for Allah and His Messenger. And whoever hijrahs for the pleasures of this world or to marry a woman, then his hijrah applies to what he hijrahs for. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from ‘Umar).

1407. Verily, Allah does not look at your body nor at your form, but He looks at your heart and your deeds. (Hadith narrated by Muslim from Abi Hurairah).

1408. Verily, Allah writes good deeds and sins and explains them in His Book. So whoever wants to do a good deed but does not do it, Allah writes a full good deed for him. If he wants to do a good deed and does it, Allah will write ten good deeds for him, up to seven hundred times, up to many times. And whoever wants to commit a sin, but does not commit it, Allah writes on his side one full good. If he wants to commit a sin and commits it, then Allah writes him one sin.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from ibn Abbas).

1409 Whoever does charity to seek fame, Allah will dishonor him (on the Day of Judgment). And whoever does charity for the sake of riya’, Allah will reveal his heart to the people (on the Day of Judgment). (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

THE THIRD LESSON IS ABOUT FEAR OF ALLAAH AND THE SUPERVISION OF ALLAAH.

Allah, the Almighty, says: “O people, fear your Lord, for indeed the shaking of the Day of Resurrection is a very great event. (Remember) the day (when) you will see the shaking, and all the women who nurse their children will flee from their sucklings, and all the pregnant women will fall pregnant, and you will see people drunk, but they are not drunk; but the punishment of Allah is very severe.” (Al-Hajj: 1-2). (Al-Hajj: 1-2).

1410. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Verily, one of you gathers his form in his mother’s belly for forty days in the form of semen, then becomes a clot of blood like that, then becomes a clot of flesh like that. Then an angel is sent to blow the spirit in him and told to write four sentences: namely, to write his sustenance, age and deeds and misery or happiness. By Allah, there is no god but He, there is indeed someone of you who does the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise so that there is only a cubit between him and Paradise, but he is preceded by the writing in the book so that he does the deeds of the dwellers of Hell, so he also enters Hell. Indeed, there is one of you who does the deeds of the dwellers of Hell until there is only a cubit between him and Hell, but he is preceded by the writing in the book, so he does the deeds of the dwellers of Paradise, so he enters Paradise.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain (Bukhari and Muslim) from ibn Mas’ud).

1411. There is not one of you but his Lord will speak to him without a spokesman between him and his Lord. So he looks to his right and sees nothing but the deeds he has done and sees something worse than that. So he sees nothing but the deeds he has done. And he looks in front of him. Then he sees nothing but hell in front of him. So avoid the fire of Hell, even by giving half a date in charity.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from Adiy bin Hatim).

1412. Verily, Allah is jealous, and Allah is jealous when people do things that Allah has forbidden them to do.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from Abi Hurairah).

FOURTH LESSON ABOUT HOPE AND WISHFUL THINKING

Allah Ta’ala says: “Say: “O My servants who transgress against themselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Verily, Allah forgives the sins of all. Indeed, He is the Most Forgiving, the Most Merciful.” (Az-Zumar: 53). Allah says: “And My mercy encompasses all things.” (Al-A’raf: 156)

1413. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Whoever testifies that there is no God but Allah and that there is no partner for Him and that Muhammad is His servant and messenger and Jesus is Allah’s servant and messenger and that His word which He conveyed to Maryam and the spirit which was blown from Him and that Paradise is true and that Hell is true, Allah will admit him into Paradise in whatever deed he does.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from Ubadah bin Shamit).

1414. Whoever testifies that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is Allah’s messenger, Allah will forbid Hellfire for him.

(Hadith narrated by Muslim).

1415. Whoever does a good deed will be rewarded ten times or more. And whoever commits a sin, he will be punished accordingly or I will forgive him. Whoever draws near to Me an inch, I draw near to him a cubit, and whoever draws near to Me a cubit, I draw near to him a tenth. Whoever comes to Me walking, I come to him running, and whoever meets Me carrying sins almost as full as the earth and he has not associated Me with anything, I forgive him that much.

(Hadith narrated by Muslim from Abi Dharr).

1416. When Allah created creation, He wrote in a book that is at His side on the Throne: “Verily, My mercy precedes My anger.” In one narration “precedes My anger.”

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from Abi Hurairah).

1417. Verily, Allah has one hundred mercies. He sends down one mercy from it among jinn and humans, animals and insects. By that mercy they love and care for each other and by that mercy the beasts care for their young. Allah Ta’ala postpones the ninety-nine mercies with which He will have mercy on His slaves on the Day of Resurrection.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from Abi Hurairah).

FIFTH LESSON ON TAWAKKAL TO ALLAH

Allah says: “Those (who obey Allah and the messenger) of whom there are those who say: “Verily, the people have gathered an army to attack you, so fear them,” so that word increases their faith and they say: “Sufficient is Allah to be our Helper and Allah is the best of protectors.” So they returned with (great) favor and bounty from Allah, they had not suffered any calamity, they followed the pleasure of Allah. And Allah has great bounty.” (Al-Imran: 173-174).

Allah says: “And put your trust in Allah, the Living (eternal) One who does not die.” (Al-Furqan: 58).

Allah says: “Let the believers put their trust in Allah alone.” (Ali Imran: 160).

Allah says: “Then when you have made up your minds, then put your trust in Allah.” (Ali Imran: 158).

Allah says: “And whoever puts his trust in Allah, Allah will provide for him.” (Ath-Thalaq: 3).

Allah says: “Verily, the believers are those who, when the name of Allah is mentioned, tremble in their hearts, and when His verses are recited to them, their faith increases, and it is to God that they put their trust.” (Al-Anfal: 2).

1418. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: He showed me the people. I saw a Prophet with some followers, a Prophet with one person and two people and a Prophet who had no followers. Suddenly a large shadow appeared to me. So I thought they were my Ummah. Then it was said to me: This is Moses and his people, but look to the horizon. So I looked. There was a great shadow. Then it was said to me: Look to the other horizon. There was a great shadow.

Then it was said to me: This is your people. With them were seventy thousand people who entered Paradise without being judged and without being tortured. Then the Prophet got up and entered his house. People were talking about those who entered Paradise without being judged and not being tortured. One of them said: Perhaps these are the people who accompanied the Prophet. Another said: Perhaps they are those who were born into Islam and did not associate partners with Allah. They mentioned many things. Then the Messenger of Allah went out to meet them. He said: What are you talking about? So they told him. Then he said: They are the ones who do not rely on rugyah and do not ask for rugyah, do not believe in bad omens and they put their trust in their Lord. Then Ukashah bin Muhson said: Pray to Allah to make me from among them. The Prophet replied: You are among them. Then another man stood up. He said: Pray to Allah to make me among them. The Prophet replied: Ukashah has preceded you with it. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

SIXTH LESSON ON THE SIGNS OF ALLAH’S LOVE FOR THE SLAVE

Allah Ta’ala says: Say: “If you (truly) love Allah, follow me, and Allah will love you and forgive your sins. Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.” (Ali Imran: 31).

1419. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Allah Ta’ala says: Whoever is hostile to My wali, I have declared war on him. My servant does not draw near to Me with anything that I like more than the obligations that I have imposed upon him. My servant continues to draw near to Me with good deeds until I love him. When I love him, then I am his hearing with which he hears and his sight with which he sees and his hands with which he works and his feet with which he walks. If he asks Me for something, I will certainly give it to him. If he asks Me for protection, I shall certainly give it to him. If he seeks refuge from Me, I will certainly protect him.

(Hadith narrated by Bukhari from Abi Hurairah).

1420. Verily, when Allah loves a slave, He calls Jibril. Allah says: “I love so-and-so, so love him.” So Gabriel loved him. Then Gabriel calls out in the sky. He said: Allah loves so-and-so, so love him. So he was loved by the inhabitants of the sky. Then he was loved by the inhabitants of the earth. When Allah hates a slave, He calls Gabriel and says: “I hate so-and-so, so hate him.” So Gabriel hates him, then he cries out among the inhabitants of the heavens: Allah hates so-and-so, so hate him. Then he was hated by the inhabitants of the earth.

(Hadith narrated by Muslim).

SEVENTH LESSON ON THE VIRTUE OF SEEKING KNOWLEDGE

Allah Ta’ala says: Say: “Are those who know equal with those who do not know?” (Az-Zumar: 9).

Allah says: Allah will elevate those who believe among you and those who are given knowledge by several degrees. (Al-Mujadilah: 11).

Allah says: Those who fear Allah among His servants are only the scholars. (Fathir: 28). 

1421. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Whoever Allah wills good for, Allah will make him understand religion.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from Mu’awiyah).

1422. The example of the guidance and knowledge that Allah has sent me with is like the rain that falls in abundance on the earth. There is clean soil that receives the water and grows crops and grass. There is also barren land that absorbs water and Allah benefits people with it, so they drink and plant. The rain also falls on other lands. But that land is flat and does not absorb water and does not grow crops. This is the example of the one who understands the religion of Allah and benefits from the guidance with which I was sent. So he knows it and teaches it. And the parable of the one who does not raise his head with it and does not accept the guidance of Allah with which I was sent.

(Hadith narrated by Abu Musa al-Ash’ari).

1423. It was narrated by Shaykhain (Bukhari and Muslim) from Sahal bin Sa’d that the Prophet said to Ali: “By Allah, the guidance that Allah gives to one person through you is better for you than a red camel. Convey from me even one verse and narrate the hadith of the Children of Israel and there is no hardship. Whoever lies against me intentionally, let him take his place in hell.

(Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

1424. Whoever takes the path to seek knowledge, Allah makes easy for him the path to Paradise. (Hadith narrated by Tirmidhi).

EIGHTH LESSON ON SHOWING KINDNESS AND CALLING TO THE TRUTH AND HELPING ONE ANOTHER IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND PIETY

Allah says: “Call people to the way of your Lord with wisdom and good advice.” (An-Nahl: 125).

Allah Ta’ala says: “And let there be among you a group of people who call to virtue.” AlMaidah: 2. Allah says: “And help one another in righteousness and do not help one another in sin and transgression.” (Al-Maidah: 2).

Allah says: “By the time. Verily, mankind is indeed in loss. Except those who believe and do righteous deeds and exhort one another to patience.” (Al-Ashr: 1-3).

1425. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Whoever points out a good deed will be rewarded like the one who does it. (Hadith narrated by Abu Mas’ud Al-Badri).

1426. Whoever calls to the truth will have the same reward as those who follow him, and it will not diminish their reward in the least. And whoever calls to misguidance will incur a sin like the sins of those who follow him, and it will not diminish their sins one iota. (Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah).

NINTH LESSON ON REPENTANCE

Allah says: “And repent to Allah, O you who believe, that you may prosper.” (An-Nur: 31).

Allah says: “Seek forgiveness from your Lord, then repent to Him.” (Hud: 52).

Allah says: “O you who have believed, repent to Allah with the purest of repentance. (Al-Tahrim: 3).

1427. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Verily, Allah stretches out His hand at night so that the sinner of the day may repent and stretches out His hand in the day so that the sinner of the night may repent until the sun rises from its western side.” (Hadith narrated by Muslim). (Hadith narrated by Muslim).

1428 Whoever repents before the sun rises from its western side, Allah accepts his repentance. (Hadith narrated by Muslim).

TENTH LESSON ON THE VIRTUE OF WUDHU’

Allah says: “O you who believe, when you go to prayer, wash your faces – until the word of Allah comes: Allah does not wish to trouble you, but to cleanse you and perfect His favor upon you, that you may be thankful.” (Al-Maidah: 6).

1429. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Verily, my Ummah will be called on the Day of Resurrection with its limbs white and radiant from the effects of ablution. So whoever among you is able to extend the white part, let him do so. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

1430. The believer’s adornment reaches the part of his limbs that is reached by ablution (Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah).

1431. When the Muslim servant (or believer) performs ablution and washes his face, every sin that he has seen with his eyes comes out of his face with the water or with the last drop of water. When he washes his hands, out of them comes every sin committed by his hands with water or with the last drop of water. When he washes his feet, out of them comes every sin committed by his feet with the water or with the last drop of water until he comes out clean from sins.

(Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah).

1432. Shall I show you the deeds with which Allah expiates sins and elevates degrees? The companions replied: I will, O Rasoolullah. The Prophet said: Completing ablution in unpleasant circumstances, the number of steps to the mosque, waiting for prayer after prayer. That is jihad, that is jihad.

(Hadith narrated by Muslim).

1433. Purity is half of faith.

(Hadith narrated by Abu Malik Al-Ash’ari).

1434. None of you performs ablution perfectly and then says: “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and there is no partner for Him. And I bear witness that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, but eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, which he can enter from whichever door he wishes.” (Hadith narrated by Muslim).

(Hadith narrated by Muslim).

ELEVENTH LESSON ON THE VIRTUE OF PRAYER AND ITS MAINTENANCE, AND THE SEVERE PUNISHMENT FOR FAILING TO PERFORM IT

Allah, may He be exalted, says: “Verily, prayer prevents from evil and forbidden deeds. (Al-Ankabut: 45).

Allah says: “Establish prayer and pay the zakat.” (An-Nisa: 77).

Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, says (interpretation of the meaning): “And they were not commanded except that they should worship Allah in pure obedience to Him, and that they should establish prayer and give alms, and such is the straight religion.” (Al-Bayyinah: 5). (Al-Bayyinah: 5).

1435. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “I was told to fight all people until they testify that there is no God but Allah and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah, and establish prayer and pay zakat. If they do that, then they have protected from me their blood and property, except by the right of Islam, and their account is up to Allah.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from ibn Umar).

TWELFTH LESSON ON THE CALL TO PRAYER

1436. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: If people knew the virtue of the adhan and the first row, and they could not find a way to get it except by drawing lots for it, they would draw lots for it. If they had known the virtue of going to the mosque in the heat, they would have competed for it. And if they knew the virtue of congregation in the ‘Ishā’ and Fajr prayers, they would go to them, even if they were crawling. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain from Abi Hurayrah).

1437. The callers to prayer will be the ones with the longest necks on the Day of Resurrection. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

1438. When you hear the call to prayer, say what the caller says. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

1439. Whoever says when he hears the call to prayer: “O Allah, the owner of this perfect call and this standing prayer, grant Muhammad waswasah and virtue and raise him in the praiseworthy position that You promised him, he will also have my peace on the Day of Resurrection”. (Hadith narrated by Bukhari).

1440. Whoever says when he hears the call to prayer: “I bear witness that there is no God but Allah, and there is no partner for Him, and Muhammad is His slave and messenger. I am pleased with Allah my Lord, Muhammad His messenger and Islam my religion.” Then his sins will be forgiven. (Hadith narrated by Muslim).

THIRTEENTH LESSON ON THE VIRTUE OF CONGREGATIONAL PRAYER, ESPECIALLY IN THE MOSQUE

1441. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Praying in congregation is better than praying alone by twenty-seven degrees.” (Hadith narrated by ibnu Umar).

1442 A man’s prayer in congregation exceeds his prayer in his house and market by twenty-five times. That is because if he makes a proper ablution, then goes out to the mosque and does not go out except to pray, then he does not take a single step, but one degree is raised for him with that step and one sin is erased from him. When he prays, the angels will continue to pray for him as long as he is in prayer and as long as he does not break his wudoo’. The angels say: “O Allah, bless him, O Allah have mercy on him.” The servant remains in prayer as long as he waits for prayer.

(Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah).

FOURTEENTH LESSON ON THE VIRTUE OF THE FIRST SAJDAH AND COMPLETING THE SAJDAH AND STRAIGHTENING THE ROWS

1443 The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: If people knew the virtues of the adhan and the first safet, and they could not find a way to obtain them except by casting lots for them, they would cast lots for them. (Hadith narrated by Abu Hurairah).

1444. Straighten your rows, for straightening the rows is one of the perfections of prayer. (Hadith narrated by Anas).

1445. Muslim narrated from Jabir bin Samurah radiyallahu anhuma who said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) came out to meet us, then he said: Do you not line up like the angels line up with their Lord? We said: O Messenger of Allah, how do the angels march to their Lord? The Prophet replied: They complete the first row and they close together in the rows. The best of the men’s rows is the first and the worst is the last. The best of the women’s rows is the last and the worst is the first.

FIFTEENTH LESSON ON THE VIRTUE OF THE FAJR AND ‘ASR PRAYERS AND THE ENCOURAGEMENT TO ATTEND THE CONGREGATIONAL PRAYERS IN THE FAJR AND ‘ISHA’ PRAYERS, AND THE EVIL OF SLEEPING BEFORE THEM AND TALKING AFTERWARDS.

1446. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Whoever offers the Fajr and ‘Asr prayers will enter Paradise. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

1447. One who prays before sunrise and before sunset (i.e. Fajr and ‘Asr) will not enter Hell. (Hadith narrated by Muslim).

1448. Whoever offers the Fajr prayer is guaranteed by Allah. So see, O son of Adam, lest Allah charge you with something of His guarantee.

(Hadith narrated by Muslim).

1449. The angels take turns taking care of you during the night and during the day. They gather at the time of Fajr and ‘Asr prayers. Then the angels who spent the night in your place ascend and Allah questions them, while He knows more about them: How did you leave My servants?

Whoever performs ablution properly, then comes to the Friday prayer, listens to the sermon and remains silent, his sins between that Friday and the previous Friday plus three days will be forgiven. Whoever touches (plays with) a stone, then he has acted in vain. Let the people cease from neglecting the Friday prayer or Allah will close their hearts and they will become heedless.

Then he said: “O Allah, forgive Abi Salamah, raise his rank among those who follow the truth and replace him in his progeny among the living and forgive us and him, O Lord of the Worlds, and make his grave easy for him and lighten it for him in his grave.

1474. Narrated by Muslim from Ummi Salamah, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (SAW) say: No servant is afflicted with a calamity, then he says: Innaa lillahi wa innaa ilaihi raaji’uunn. O Allah, give me reward in my calamity and substitute for me something better than it, but Allah Ta’ala gives him reward in his calamity and substitutes for him something better than the calamity.

When Abu Salamah died, I said as the Messenger of Allah told me to. So Allah gave me a better replacement than him, namely the Messenger of Allah.

No one has been given a better and more extensive gift than patience.

Indeed, all his affairs are good and that is not found except in the believer. If he experiences pleasure, he is grateful, then it is good for him. If he experiences hardship, he is patient, and that is good for him.

O my Lord, I ask You for the good that is in this night and the good that follows, and I seek refuge with You from the evil that is in this night and the evil that follows. O my Lord, I seek refuge with You from laziness and the evils of old age and I seek refuge with You from the torment of hell and the torment of the grave.

The angels replied: They seek refuge from hell. Allah said: Do they see it? The angels replied: No, by Allah, they did not see it. Allah said: What if they had seen it? The angels replied: If they had seen him, they would have avoided him and feared him more. So Allah said: I make you witnesses that I have forgiven them.

If they comply, then tell them that Allah has enjoined upon them sodagoh which is taken from their rich and given to their poor. If they comply, then do not take their precious possessions and fear the supplication of the oppressed, for there is no veil between it and Allah.

1515. Narrated by Bukhari from Abi Hurairah r.a., he said: The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: Whoever is blessed by Allah with wealth, but does not pay zakat, then his wealth will be shown on the Day of Resurrection in the form of a bald snake that has two spots and is wrapped around him.

FORTY-SECOND LESSON ON PRAISING GENEROSITY AND SPENDING IN THE WAYS OF GOODNESS

Allah Ta’ala says: “Let him who is able provide for his family according to his ability. And he who is constrained in his means should spend from the wealth that Allah has given him. Allah does not impose a burden on anyone except what He gives him. And Allah will give ease after hardship.” (Ath-Thalag: 7).

1523. Verily, Allah is pleased with you for three things and displeased with you for three things. Allah is pleased with you if you worship Him and associate nothing with Him and if you all hold to the rope of Allah and do not separate. And Allah dislikes for you: idle talk (gossip), asking a lot of questions and spending money.

(Hadith narrated by Muslim).

THE FORTY-FOURTH LESSON ON GIVING PREFERENCE TO OTHERS OVER ONESELF TO HELP THE POOR

Allah also says: “The appointed days are the month of Ramadan, the month in which the Qur’an is revealed as a guidance for mankind and an explanation of that guidance and a distinction between right and wrong.

Therefore, if any of you is present (in his country) during that month, let him fast that month; and whoever is sick or traveling (and breaks his fast), then (he must fast) the number of days he missed on other days. Allah wants ease for you, and does not want hardship for you. And fulfil the number, and glorify Allah for His guidance given to you, that you may be grateful. (Al-Bagarah: 185).

1527. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Fast when you see the new moon and break your fast when you see it (on the night of the Eid). If the sky is cloudy over you, then complete the number of Sha’ban thirty days. (Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

Allah Ta’ala said: Except fasting, for it is for Me and I will reward it. He gives up his lust, food and drink for My sake.

The fasting person experiences two joys: the joy of breaking the fast and the joy of meeting his Lord.

Indeed the smell of the mouth of the fasting person is more fragrant in the sight of Allah than the smell of misik. Fasting is a shield. On the day that one of you fasts, he should not speak evil and should not shout. If someone abuses him or attacks him, let him say: I am fasting.

(Hadith narrated by Shaykhain).

FORTY-SEVENTH LESSON ON HAJJ

Allah says: “Performing Hajj is an obligation upon mankind towards Allah, for those who are able to travel to the House of Allah. Whoever denies (the obligation of Hajj), then surely Allah is rich (in need of nothing) of the worlds.” (Ali Imran: 27).

1536. It was narrated by Shaykhain (Bukhari and Muslim) from Sayyidah Aisha r.a. that the Prophet (SAW) entered her and a woman was near him. The Prophet said: Who is this? Aisha replied: This is so-and-so. She told him about her prayer. The Prophet said: Stop; do what you can. By Allah, Allah does not tire of rewarding you until you tire of doing good deeds. The most favorable practice of religion is that which the doer continues to do.

1537. Religion is ease, and no one makes this religion difficult unless he is unable to do so. So do what is reasonable and what comes close. Be cheerful and use the morning and evening and part of the night to do good deeds.

The first is the Book of Allah in which is guidance and light. So take the Book of Allah and hold fast to it. Then he said: And my ahlu bait. I remind you of Allah regarding my family members.

Then Hushain said: Who are his family members, O Zayd? Aren’t his wives among his family members?

Zayd replied: His wives are not among his family members, but his family members are those from whom it is forbidden to receive any sodagoh other than him.

Hushain said: Who are they?

Zayd replied: Aalu Ali, Aalu Agil, Aalu Ja’far and Aalu Abbas.

1546. The Messenger of Allah (SAW) said: “Allah does not send a prophet nor appoint a caliph, but he has two kinds of helpers. One servant tells him to do good and encourages him to do so.

If You know that it is bad for me in religion, livelihood and the end of my affairs or in the near future of my affairs and their future, then remove it from me and keep me away from it and ordain good for me and wherever it may be, then make me content with it and mention its necessity.
