The Shaykh : The first hadith established in this chapter is the statement of Anas (may Allah be pleased with him): I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Al-Tirmidhi narrated it and said: It is a good hadith.
"Qirab al-ard" (filling the earth) is pronounced with a kasrah on the qaf, and with a dammah it is more common; it means what approximates its fullness. We had read this hadith to you in the previous lesson and commented on what Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) facilitated regarding the first part of it, specifically the statement of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) on behalf of his Lord:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 3540Hasan (Darussalam) We explained that supplication in Islam is of great importance, and that supplication, seeking refuge, and humility before Allah (Mighty and Majestic) is the way of the prophets. We also explained that one of the deviations some people have fallen into regarding Islam is their claim that sincere believers who are confident in Allah (Mighty and Majestic) do not resort to supplication, to the point that one of them said: "Your asking Him is an accusation against Him". We clarified that this is a deviation from this hadith and other similar hadiths, as well as many verses, some of which we mentioned last night. Now we continue commenting on the remainder of this hadith. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) relates that his Lord said: "O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and hope for My mercy, I will forgive you for whatever you have done, and I will not care." The purpose of this passage is to draw the Muslim's attention to always being eager to turn to Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and humble before Him, asking Him to forgive his sins, and not forgetting that he is in need of the compassion and forgiveness of his Lord (Mighty and Majestic).
Allah the Exalted said: O son of Adam, as long as you call upon Me and hope for My mercy, I will forgive you for whatever you have done, and I will not care. O son of Adam, even if your sins reached the clouds of the sky and then you sought My forgiveness, I would forgive you. O son of Adam, even if you came to Me with sins filling the earth and then met Me not associating anything with Me, I would come to you with forgiveness filling it.
قال الله تعالى يا ابن آدم إنك ما دعوتني ورجوتني غفرت لك على ما كان منك ولا أبالي يا ابن آدم لو بلغت ذنوبك عنان السماء ثم استغفرتني غفرت لك يا ابن آدم لو أتيتني بقراب الأرض خطايا ثم لقيتني لا تشرك بي شيئا لأتيتك بقرابها مغفرة"Qirab al-ard" (filling the earth) is pronounced with a kasrah on the qaf, and with a dammah it is more common; it means what approximates its fullness.
