Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : ... Muhammad, His Servant and Messenger, [Ali 'Imran 3:102], [An-Nisa 4:1], [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.
Our hadith today is a singular hadith, and it is the last one from the chapter: "Warning against a person's aversion to death," from the authentic hadiths narrated in this chapter. Al-Hafiz al-Mundhiri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: And from Fadalah ibn 'Ubayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sahih Ibn Hibban 4:83.
It was narrated by Ibn Abi al-Dunya, al-Tabarani, and Ibn Hibban in his "Sahih," and it was narrated by Ibn Majah from the hadith of 'Amr ibn Ghaylan al-Thaqafi, who is one of those about whose status as a Companion there is disagreement, and its wording is: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Sunan Ibn Majah 4133Da’if (Darussalam)."
The hadith with the first wording is authentic, and the other wording would also be authentic if the Companionship of this one named 'Amr ibn Ghaylan al-Thaqafi were established; therefore, we limit our commentary to the first wording, which is the one narrated by Ibn Abi al-Dunya, al-Tabarani, and Ibn Hibban in his "Sahih."
In this hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prays for good for the one who truly believes in Allah and His Messenger, and he prays for evil for the disbeliever who did not believe in Allah or His Messenger. As for that good for which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for the one who believed in Allah and testified to the prophethood of His Prophet, it is his saying:. In this hadith, there is a reference to some of the hadiths that came before us in the previous lesson, and in it is that Jami` at-Tirmidhi 1066Sahih (Darussalam), and you have known from the complete hadiths that the intended meaning of this meeting is when death approaches a person; that is, when the inevitable death comes to him. There, as we mentioned to you, the reality that the believer will meet before him of abiding bliss is revealed, and conversely, the reality that the disbeliever will also meet of the Hellfire is revealed. This first meeting is the one for which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for the one who believed in Allah and testified that he (peace be upon him) is the Messenger of Allah.
O you who have believed, fear Allah as He should be feared and do not die except as Muslims [in submission to Him].
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ حَقَّ تُقَاتِهِ وَلَا تَمُوتُنَّ إِلَّا وَأَنْتُمْ مُسْلِمُونَO 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.
يَا أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ اتَّقُوا رَبَّكُمُ الَّذِي خَلَقَكُمْ مِنْ نَفْسٍ وَاحِدَةٍ وَخَلَقَ مِنْهَا زَوْجَهَا وَبَثَّ مِنْهُمَا رِجَالًا كَثِيرًا وَنِسَاءً وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي تَسَاءَلُونَ بِهِ وَالْأَرْحَامَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ كَانَ عَلَيْكُمْ رَقِيبًا(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.
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَقُولُوا قَوْلًا سَدِيدًا * يُصْلِحْ لَكُمْ أَعْمَالَكُمْ وَيَغْفِرْ لَكُمْ ذُنُوبَكُمْ وَمَنْ يُطِعِ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ فَقَدْ فَازَ فَوْزًا عَظِيمًاIndeed, 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.
Our hadith today is a singular hadith, and it is the last one from the chapter: "Warning against a person's aversion to death," from the authentic hadiths narrated in this chapter. Al-Hafiz al-Mundhiri (may Allah have mercy on him) said: And from Fadalah ibn 'Ubayd (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
O Allah, whoever believes in You and testifies that I am Your Messenger; then make meeting You beloved to him, and make Your decree easy for him, and reduce for him from the worldly life. And whoever does not believe in You and does not testify that I am Your Messenger; then do not make meeting You beloved to him, and do not make Your decree easy for him, and increase for him from the worldly life.
اللَّهُمَّ مَن آمَن بِكَ ، وشَهِد أَنِّي رسولُك ؛ فحبِّبْ إليه لِقاءَك ، وسَهِّلْ عليه قَضاءَكَ ، وأقلِلْ له مِنَ الدنيا ، ومَن لَم يُؤمِنْ بِكَ ، ولَم يشهَدْ أنِّي رسولُك ؛ فلا تُحَبِّبْ إليه لِقاءَكَ ، ولا تُسَهِّلْ عليه قضاءَك ، وأكثِرْ لَه مِنَ الدنياIt was narrated by Ibn Abi al-Dunya, al-Tabarani, and Ibn Hibban in his "Sahih," and it was narrated by Ibn Majah from the hadith of 'Amr ibn Ghaylan al-Thaqafi, who is one of those about whose status as a Companion there is disagreement, and its wording is: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "
O Allah, whoever believes in my and knows that what I have brought is the truth from You, decrease his wealth and his children, and make the meeting with You dear to him, and hasten his death. Whoever does not believe in me and does not know that what I have brought is the truth from You, increase his wealth and his children and make his life long.
اللَّهُمَّ مَن آمَنَ بِي وصدَّقَني ، وَعلِمَ أَن مَا جِئْت بِهِ الحقُّ من عنْدك فأقلِلْ مَاله وَولدَه ، وحبِّبْ إِلَيهِ لقاءك ، وَعجِّل لَهُ القَضَاء ، وَمن لم يُؤمِنْ بِي وَلم يصدِّقْني ، وَلم يعلم أَن مَا جِئْتُ بِهِ الحقُّ من عنْدك فَأكثر مَاله وَولده وأطِلْ عمرهThe hadith with the first wording is authentic, and the other wording would also be authentic if the Companionship of this one named 'Amr ibn Ghaylan al-Thaqafi were established; therefore, we limit our commentary to the first wording, which is the one narrated by Ibn Abi al-Dunya, al-Tabarani, and Ibn Hibban in his "Sahih."
In this hadith, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prays for good for the one who truly believes in Allah and His Messenger, and he prays for evil for the disbeliever who did not believe in Allah or His Messenger. As for that good for which the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prayed for the one who believed in Allah and testified to the prophethood of His Prophet, it is his saying:
Make meeting You desirable to him
حبِّبْ إليه لقاءَكWhoever loves to meet Allah, then Allah loves to meet him. And whoever dislikes meeting Allah, then Allah dislikes meeting him.
مَن أحبَّ لقاء الله أحبَّ الله لقاءه ، ومَن كَرِهَ لقاء الله كَرِهَ الله لقاءَه
