Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: إذا سمعت الله يقول : يا أيها الذين آمنوا فأرعها سمعك When you hear Allah say: O you who believe, then give it your hearing. meaning, listen to it here [Al-Hujurat 49:11] Is it from the good that we are commanded to do, or is it from the evil that we are forbidden from? The second means it is from the evil that we are forbidden from. [At-Tawbah 9:119] From where? From the good that we are commanded to do. It is sufficient for a person to be proud, and it is sufficient for a believing person to be proud, that the Creator of the earth and the heavens addresses him with this noble description.
