The Shaykh : But this is countered by authentic sacred hadiths, some of which are in "al-Sahihayn" and some in the Sunan. Our hadith tonight belongs to this category; it is narrated by Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Mishkat al-Masabih 2336, 2337. This hadith encourages the Muslim to always hold a good opinion of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), hoping that He will treat him with His grace rather than with His justice (Blessed and Exalted is He).
But there is something here; He says:. We should pause here and dwell on this a little. We must know that the Muslim’s turning to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) in supplication, humble and submissive before Him, is among the greatest acts of worship brought by Islam, as our Lord (Mighty and Majestic) said in the Qur'an: [Ghafir 40:60]. The scholars of tafsir, based on the authentic hadith, said: [Ghafir 40:60]; meaning: from my supplication. This is because a person’s disdain for supplicating to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is arrogance toward Him and self-sufficiency from His mercy and forgiveness, and only the most disbelieving of disbelievers do this. Therefore, he (peace and blessings be upon him) cited this verse as evidence for his statement when he said: , and he recited this verse: [Ghafir 40:60] to its end.
God has said, “Son of Adam, as long as you supplicate me and hope in me I will pardon you in spite of what you have done, and I do not care.
قال الله - تعالى - : يا ابن آدم ، إنك ما دعوتني ورجوتني غفرْتُ لك على ما كان منك ولا أباليBut there is something here; He says:
As long as you call upon Me and hope for My favor.
ما دعوتني ورجوتنيAs long as you call upon Me.
ما دعوتنيAnd your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you." Indeed, those who disdain My worship will enter Hell [rendered] contemptible.
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِي سَيَدْخُلُونَ جَهَنَّمَ دَاخِرِينَIndeed, those who disdain My worship
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ يَسْتَكْبِرُونَ عَنْ عِبَادَتِيSupplication is worship
الدعاء هو العبادةAnd your Lord says, "Call upon Me; I will respond to you."
وَقَالَ رَبُّكُمُ ادْعُونِي أَسْتَجِبْ لَكُمْ
