Imran bin Husain (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: A man came to the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) and said: AsSalamu Alaikum (may you be safe from evil). Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Ten (meaning the man had earned the merit of ten good acts). Another one came and said: As-Salamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullah (may you be safe from evil, and Mercy of Allah be upon you). Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) responded to his greeting and the man sat down. Messenger of Allah (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, Twenty.

Abu Masud Al-Badri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, When someone spends on his family seeking his reward for it from Allah, it is counted as a charity from him. [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. Commentary from Riyad-as-Saliheen: Seeking his reward means that one is supporting his family as a duty entrusted by Allah. It is also warranted by compassion for the near ones. A person who does it as a duty ordained by Allah and shows mercy to his deserving relatives to attain His Pleasure then what he spends with this intention on his children will be eligible for reward from Allah.

Listen to the Ayah : Surah 21. (Verse 87). And (remember) Dhun-Nun, when he went off in anger, and imagined that We shall not punish him! But he cried through the darknesses (Zulumat) (saying): There is none worthy of worship in truth except You, Glorified be You! Truly, I have been of the Zalimin wrongdoers.) Further Reading:

Two Qualities of Slave of Allah which will make him enter Paradise
CM
The Messenger of Allaah -sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam-said: There are two characteristics or two qualities that if a Muslim slave of Allaah is continuous upon, will enter Paradise, they are simple but those who do them are few. To say SubhanAllaah at the end of every prayer ten times, says alhamdulillah ten times and says Allaahu akbar ten times, which is equivalent to 150 times on the tongue and 1500 on the scales. And he says Allaahu Akbar 34 times when he goes to bed and he says alhamdulillah 33 times and says SubhanAllaah 33 times, and that is equivalent to 100 on the tongue and 1000 on the scales. Collected by Abu Dawud(5065), At-Tirmithi(3410) Nisai(926) and Ahmed(2/205) Imam An-Nawwawee graded the isnad of this hadeeth as being Saheeh and Imam At-Tirmithi said this hadeeth is Hasan Saheeh.

Weakness of the Hadeeth: Rewards Are Multiplied 70 Times In Ramadhan

Sunday, July 31, 2011 AbdurRahman.org
Imaam Ibn Khuzaymah said in his Saheeh: Chapter: Virtues of the month of Ramadhaan (only) if the Hadeeth is authentic Alee bin Hijr al-Sadee narrated to us that Yousuf bin Ziyaad narrated to him that Hammaam bin Yahyaa narrated on the authority of Alee bin Zaid bin Jadaan on the authority of Saeed bin al-Musayyib on the authority of Salmaan (al-Faarisee) that he said:

The Messenger of Allaah addressed us (i.e. the companions) on the last day of Shabaan, saying, Oh people! A great month has come over you; a blessed month; a month in which is a night better than a thousand months; a month in which Allaah has made it compulsory upon you to fast (by day), and voluntary to pray by night. Whoever draws nearer (to Allaah) by performing any of the (optional) good deeds in (this month) shall receive the same reward as performing an obligatory deed at any other time, and whoever discharges an obligatory deed in (this month) shall receive the reward of performing seventy obligations at any other time. It is the month of patience, and the reward of patience is Paradise. It is the month of charity, and a month in which a believers sustenance is increased. Whoever gives food to a fasting person to break his fast shall have his sins forgiven, and he will be saved from the Fire of Hell, and he shall have the same reward as the fasting person, without his reward being diminished at all. They said: Not all of us can find that which (we can provide to) the fasting person to break his fast. He said: Allaah gives this reward to anyone who helps the fasting person in breaking the fast even by a (single) date or provides him with water to drink or gives him milk. And it is a month the beginning of which is Mercy, its middle is Forgiveness, and its last is emancipation from the Fire. Whoever reduces (the burden) on his slave, Allaah will forgive him and will emancipate him from the Fire. And increase in it the four things: Your Lord is pleased with two
37
things, and with the (other) two He will enrich you. The two things with which your Lord is pleased are bearing witness that Laa ilaaha illallaah (there is no one worthy of being worshipped except Allaah) and that you seek His forgiveness. And the two things with which he will enrich you are when you ask for Paradise from Allaah and that you seek His refuge from the Hell. And whoever feeds a fasting person till he is satisfied, Allaah will give him the drink from my Cistern, the drink after which he will not feel thirsty till he enters the Paradise. [Saheeh Ibn Khuzaimah (1887)] The verdict of the scholars about the weakness of this Hadeeth: Al-Ainee said in Umdahtul-Qaaree: The chain is not authentic. Dhiyaa al-Maqdasee said in al-Sunan wal-Ahkaam: in its chain there is Alee bin Zaid bin Jadaan and a group of scholars spoke about him. Ibn Hajar also graded it Weak in al-Talkhees al-Habeer.
C M
Al-Mundhiree in al-Targheeb wal-Tarheeb affirmed its weakness. Al-Albaanee graded it Very Weak in al-Mishkaat al-Masaabih (1906). And he graded it Munkar (rejected) in al-Dhaeefah (871), and also in Dhaeef al-Targheeb (589). Shaikh al-Albaanee comments about this Hadeeth: (After mentioning the above Hadeeth he (Al-Albaanee) said): Munkar (Rejected). It was reported by al-Muhaamalee in al-Amaalee (Vol. 5 No. 50); and by Ibn Khuzaimah in his Saheeh (1887) and he (Ibn Khuzaimah) said: If it is authentic; and by al-Waahidee in al-Waseett (1 / 640 / 1-2). The narration of it is based on the authority of Alee bin Zaid bin Jadaan on the authority of Saeed bin al-Musayyib from Salman al-Faarisee that he said: The Messenger of Allaah addressed us on the last day of Shabaan and he narrated the Hadeeth. I (Al-Albaanee) say: This chain of narration is weak because of Alee bin Zaid bin Jadaan, for he is weak as what (Imaam) Ahmad and others have said about him.

And Imaam Ibn Khuzaimah said the reason is: He is not someone to be taken from because of his weak memory. And that is why when he (Ibn Khuzaimah) mentioned this Hadeeth in his Saheeh he pointed out (itsweakness) by saying: (only) if the Hadeeth is authentic. And al-Mundhiree affirmed it in al-Targhheb (2/67) and said: AlBaihaqee reported with his chain of narration. I (al-Albaanee) say: The reason why Ibn Khuzaimah reported the likes of this Hadeeth in his Saheeh is to strongly point out that what is mentioned in it is not authentic according to him and to warn (the people about its weakness). But some of the authors of were ignorant about this reality. They mention on the cover of their book: The Hadeeth (of this book) were verified by the Alim, the Faadhil, the custodian of the Hadeeth, but they say on page 34: It was reported by Ibn Khuzaimah in his Saheeh and he authenticated it. They say it (in such a way) as if they did not know what Ibn Khuzaimah had said about the Hadeeth. But if they did know it, then they have openly lied upon Ibn Khuzaimah. And this is not strange from them, because as has preceded from them, their messages are full of slanders and lies without bounds. And it is not advisable to waste time on replying to them, because they do not take advice. And about this Hadeeth, Ibn Abi Haatim reported from his father in alilal (1/249) that it is Munkar. Whoever draws near to Allaah during it (Ramadaan) with a single characteristic from the characteristics of (voluntary) goodness, he is like whoever performs an obligatory act in other times. And whoever performs an obligatory act during it, he is like whoever performed seventy obligatory acts in other times. Sahih Ibn Khuzaymah, no. 1887.

And he should not leave until the imam finishes Taraweeh and Witr, so that he may attain the reward of spending the whole night in prayer.

Excellence of the Day of Arafah

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 AbdurRahman.org
Arafah on Saturday 5ht November 2011 (9 Dhul-Hijjah 1432) The ninth day ofDhul-Hijjah is the day of Arafah, since it is on this day that the pilgrims gather at the mountain plain of Arafah, praying and supplicating to their Lord. It is mustahabb (highly recommended) for those who are not pilgrims to fast on this day, since the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) was asked about fasting on the day of Arafah, so he said, It expiates the sins of the past year and the coming year. [4] Likewise, the Prophet (sallallaahu alayhi wa sallam) said, There is no day on which Allaah frees people from the Fire more so than on the day of Arafah. He comes close to those (people standing on Arafah), and then He reveals before His Angels saying, What are these people seeking. [5] Imaam at-Tirmidhee (d.275H) rahimahullaah said, The People of Knowledge consider it recommended to fast on the day of Arafah, except for those at Arafah. [6]

Al Qurtubi mentions: Indeed Allah does not accept Charity from haraam, since it is not the possession of the one who gives it as charity. Thus he is prohibited from utilising it. So when the one who spends in charity is utilising what he is spending, if it were to be accepted from him, it would necessitate that it (i.e that charity) would be legislated and prohibited at the same time and that is impossible

(Collected by At Tabaraani and declared Saheeh by Shaikh Albaani in Saheehul Jaami (5610)) We ask Allah that he blesses all attendees with this khair

Some Ahadeeth Regarding Particular Ayaat of the Quraan80 From Muaadh bin al-Juhni, the Companion of the Messenger of Allaah salallaahu alayhi wa sallam, from the Prophet salallaahu alayhi wa sallam who said: Whoever reads Say, He is Allaah, [Who is] One [Soorah Ikhlaas] until he finishes it ten times, then Allaah builds a Palace for him in Paradise as well as additional benefits. Umar said: Then we will have a lot of Palaces, O Messenger of Allaah! The Prophet salallaahu alayhi wa sallam said: Allaah has more and what is better. [Silsilah Ahadeeth as-Saheehah by Shaykh al-Albaani No.589]

Preserve These Eight Rakah and Stay Out Of Hell By the Will of Allaah!

Um Habibah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Allahs Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said, Whoever prays four before Thur and four after it, Allah makes him prohibited for the fire. Collected by Abu Dawud (1269), At-Tirmithi (427), An-Nisa (1818), Ibn Majah (1160) . Shaykh Al-Albani graded this hadeeth as being Sahih in his checking in At-Tirmithi. Benefits for this topic: There are three narrations for this hadeeth, He wont touch the fire, Allah makes him prohibited for the fire, and Allah makes his flesh prohibited for the fire. Shaykh Abdullah ibn Salih Al-Fawzan (may Allah preserve him) said, This hadeeth shows the virtue of these four rakat before and after Thur. These eight Rakat are a means to be saved from Hell, along with carrying out obligations, and avoiding prohibitions. Doing this act is simple and easy for the Muslim, when he practices and trains the soul to do it.[ Minhatul Alam fi Sharhi Bulughil Maram]
108
Imam Ash-Shawkani (may Allah have mercy on him) wrote : The people differ over the meaning of this hadeeth. Some people say it means he wont enter the fire at all, and others say, If he enters the fire it wont consume him. Then there are some people who say it means, The fire wont consume him totally, but only part of his body, if he enters it. Its better to carry this hadeeth on its apparent meaning: Allah will make his entire body prohibited from the fire. Allahs Mercy is vast. [Nayl] There is another narration, which in the beginning states, Whoever preserves four Rakat for Thur Its understood here that this protection is awarded to the person who regularly practices these eight Rakat. [ Shaykh Muhammad Adam Sharh Sunnan An-NisaI vol 18/199] As-Sindee (may Allah have mercy on him) said, Its enough to have belief in this hadeeth as its been mentioned. Perhaps the person who regularly practices this act will be granted from Allah success and have all his sins forgiven. [ Sharhul Ibn Majah]

The description for this prayer At-Tirmithi, Some people of knowledge said that prayer for the day and night is two by two; they believed that one should separate between every two Rakah. This is the view of Ash-ShafaI and Ahmad. [JamI At-Tirmithi #424] Al-Hajjawi (may Allah have mercy on him) said, If a person prays the voluntary prayers during the day time in four Rakah like Thur, then there is no problem with that. Al-Alammah Bin Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) said, This view is weak. Whats correct is two by two. [Taleeqat Bin Baz ala Zad] The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, The prayers during the day and night are two by two. [ collected by Abu Dawud 1172 AlBukhari and Al-Albani both graded this hadeeth as being Saheeh] Based on the above hadeeth the prayers during the night and day are two by two. A person makes Tasleem after completing two rakah. Furthermore a principle is built off this is that every hadeeth that mentions the wording four without clearly stating the denial of a tasleem, then its a must to consider it being he (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed it two by two.[ AlMumtI vol 4/77]

Abdul Malik Al-Juwaynee ([478H] May Allah have mercy on him) said, All voluntary prayers are two by two, except Witr, regardless day or night.
