Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : All praise is due to Allah; we praise Him, seek His help, and seek His forgiveness. We seek refuge in Allah from the evil of our own selves and from the evil of our deeds. Whom Allah guides, none can mislead, and whom He misleads, none can guide. And I bear witness that there is no god but Allah alone, with no partner, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and His Messenger.
O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him]. يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله حق تقاته ولا تموتُن إلا وأنتم مسلمون
[Ali 'Imran 3:102]
.
O mankind, fear your Lord, who created you from one soul and created from it its mate and dispersed from both of them many men and women. And fear Allah, through whom you ask one another, and the wombs. Indeed Allah is ever, over you, an Observer. يا أيها الناس اتقوا ربكم الذي خلقكم من نفس واحدة وخلق منها زوجها وبثَّ منهما رجالاً كثيراً ونساءاً واتقوا الله الذي تساءلون به والأرحام إن الله كان عليكم رقيباً
[An-Nisa 4:1]
.
(70) O you who have believed, fear Allah and speak words of appropriate justice. (71) He will [then] amend for you your deeds and forgive you your sins. And whoever obeys Allah and His Messenger has certainly attained a great attainment. يا أيها الذين آمنوا اتقوا الله وقولوا قولاً سديداً * يُصلح لكم أعمالكم ويغفر لكم ذنوبكم ومَن يُطع الله ورسوله فقد فاز فوزاً عظيماً
[Al-Ahzab 33:70-71]
.
As for what follows:
Indeed, the best of speech is the speech of Allah, and the best of guidance is the guidance of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him and his family), and the worst of matters are their innovations, and every innovation is a religious innovation, and every religious innovation is misguidance, and every misguidance is in the Fire.
The author said (may Allah have mercy on him):
"Chapter: Oppression is Darknesses":
He narrated beneath it, with his authentic chain of narration, a hadith that had passed with us in a previous lesson, from the narration of:
Jabir ibn 'Abd Allah said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said:
Fear injustice. Injustice will appear as darkness on the Day of Rising. Fear avarice. Avarice destroyed people before you and led them to shed one another's blood and to make lawful what was unlawful for them. اتقوا الظلم فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة ، واتقوا الشُّحَّ فإن الشح أهلك من كان قبلكم ، وحملهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلوا محارمهم
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 483
:
Considering that this hadith had come before and we spoke about some of the oppression, and we linked this hadith to the hadith that passed with us in the previous lesson, which is his saying (peace be upon him):
Three supplications are responded to: The supplication of the oppressed ثلاث دعوات مستجابات : دعوة المظلوم
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3448Hasan (Darussalam)
, so I followed that chapter with this chapter as a warning against oppression, for in addition to the fact that the oppressor is exposed to the supplication of the oppressed being answered against him, oppression, as in this hadith:
darknesses on the Day of Resurrection ظلمات يوم القيامة
.
The hadith that follows is a weak hadith, which we do not narrate, as is our practice.
As for the following hadith, which is the third hadith of this chapter, it is an authentic hadith, and it is a portion of the previous hadith, except that this is from the hadith of Ibn 'Umar from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) who said:
Oppression shall be darkness on the Day of Judgment. الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة
Jami` at-Tirmidhi 2030Sahih (Darussalam)
