Continuation of the explanation of the hadith of Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: (

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said - peace and blessings be upon him - :
and when they get purified of all their sins حتى إذا نُقُّوا وهُذِّبوا
Sahih al-Bukhari 2440
This means: every one who has a right took his right, and nothing remained for them except to follow their path to Paradise. He said - peace and blessings be upon him - :
then they will be given permission to enter the Garden. By the One who holds the soul of Muhammad in His hand, one of them is better guided in his position than he was in this world. أُذِنَ لهم بدخول الجنة ، فوالذي نفس محمد بيده ؛ لَأحدهم بمنزله أدلُّ منه في الدنيا
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 486
: This indicates to us the vastness of the power of Allah - Mighty and Majestic - and the knowledge He bestows upon the believers on the Day of Resurrection. This is because he said - peace and blessings be upon him - when permission was given to each of these Muslims who had settled their accounts, been judged, and reconciled, and were permitted to enter Paradise, he said - peace and blessings be upon him - :
one of them is better guided in his position than he was in this world لَأحدُهم بمنزله أدلُّ منه في الدنيا
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 486
: How does he know his home in Paradise?! If a person were to live in a new house for the first time in a vast city, perhaps if he went far from his new home and returned, he might get lost until he remained "yashar" and practices, so how does the Muslim know in the gathering on the Day of Resurrection when he is permitted to enter Paradise, following his path as if he is accustomed to frequenting his home in Paradise? That is from Allah's - Mighty and Majestic - informing His servants and inspiring them that this home is your home. And we should not forget that the Muslim's home in the Hereafter is not a house with an area of ten, twenty, one hundred, or one thousand cubits. No, I had previously mentioned a long hadith, the summary of which is:
the last one to come out of the Fire comes out crawling, and the last one to enter Paradise has in Paradise the like of this world and ten times its size أن آخر من يخرج من النار يخرجُ يحبوا حبوًا ، وآخر من يدخل في الجنة له في الجنة مثل الدنيا وعشرة أضعافها
This lowliest of people who were tormented in the Fire because of their sins, but Allah - Mighty and Majestic - saved him from eternal abode in the Fire by his testimony that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. When this one comes out of the Fire, he cannot walk upright as Allah created him because he is exhausted; he walks crawling, creeping along. When this one enters Paradise, he has in Paradise the like of this world and ten times its size. So, how do we imagine these vast domains of the individual Muslim? There is no doubt that a person would get lost in them greatly if left to his intellect and his knowledge. But Allah - Mighty and Majestic - is the One who inspires him the path until he places his hand on that long, wide domain which the intellect cannot comprehend or know the reality of its matter. So we ask Allah - Mighty and Majestic - in any case to admit us to Paradise, and to purify us from the sins and injustices we have toward people here in this world before the Hereafter, so that we do not lag behind and stand at that bridge for the settling of accounts mentioned in this authentic hadith. I will mention two hadiths because they are repeated, so that in the next lesson, if Allah wills, we will move on to another hadith: He narrated after that a hadith: from Abu Hurayrah, who said:
Beware of injustice. Injustice will appear as darkness on the Day of Rising. Beware of coarseness. Allah does not love those who are coarse and foul mouthed. Beware of avarice for it destroyed those before you. They cut off their relatives. Allah summoned them and they made lawful what was unlawful. إياكم والظلم ؛ فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة ، وإياكم والفحش ؛ فإنَّ الله لا يحب الفاحش المتفحِّش ، وإياكم والشُّحَّ ؛ فإنه دعا مَن كان قبلكم فقطعوا أرحامهم ، ودعاهم فاستحلُّوا محارمهم
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 487
.
Then he narrated - also - with his authentic chain from Jabir from the Prophet - peace and blessings be upon him and his family - who said:
Beware of injustice. Injustice will appear as darkness on the Day of Rising. Fear avarice. It destroyed those before you and caused them to shed one another's blood and to make lawful what was unlawful. إياكم والظلم ؛ فإن الظلم ظلمات يوم القيامة ، واتقوا الشُّحَّ ؛ فإنه أهلك مَن كان قبلكم ، وحملَهم على أن سفكوا دماءهم واستحلُّوا محارمهم
Al-Adab Al-Mufrad 488
. - And now we return to answering some of the questions. There was a question about the woman who has reached the age of despair, but I was not able to prepare the answer, so if Allah wills, in the coming lesson.
