May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner says: In the previous lesson, the chapter on ribat (stationing for defense) was mentioned in the hadith
Keeping watch for a day and a night is better
رباط يوم وليلة خير منThe Shaykh:
And there is no virtue.
The questioner:
The virtue of ribat.
The Shaykh:
Yes.
The questioner:
The virtue of ribat was mentioned in the hadith
Keeping watch for a day and a night is better (in point of reward) than fasting for a whole month and standing in prayer every night. If a person dies (while, performing this duty), his (meritorious) activity will continue and he will go on receiving his reward for it perpetually and will be saved from the torture of the grave.
رباط يوم وليلة خير من صيام شهر وقيامه، وإن مات جرى عليه عمله الذي كان يعمله، وأجري عليه رزقه وأمن الفتان،His provision is granted to him while he is in the grave?
أجري عليه رزقه وهو في القبر؟The Shaykh:
It means his reward; his reward continues to be granted to him without interruption. It is like a waqf (endowment), a continuous charity, whose benefit and reward flow to him while he is in the grave.
