Explanation of the Book of the Hearts-10b
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The reciter: Abdullah ibn Muhammad narrated to me, Mu'awiya ibn 'Amr narrated to us, Abu Ishaq narrated to us from Humaid, who said: I heard Anas say: Harithah was killed on the day of Badr while he was a young man. His mother came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah, I know the status of Harithah with me. If he is in Paradise, I will be patient and seek reward. But if it is the other, you will see what I do." He said: Sahih al-Bukhari 3982 "
The Shaykh : What Allah wills, Allah is the Greatest
The reciter: Have you gone mad
The Shaykh : Yes
The reciter: Have you gone mad
The Shaykh : Yes, before that, he said: "Woe to you! Have you gone mad?" But it is a copy, is it missing in yours?
The questioner : No, mine is accurate, "Have you gone mad," correct.
The Shaykh : Yes, from Harithah in yours? Al-Qastallani,
The reciter: Harithah ibn Saraqah ibn al-Harith al-Ansari
The Shaykh : Good, this one is from the Ansar, meaning he is not Abu Zayd ibn Zayd al-Harithah, but he is from the Ansar and he seems to have been young. So his mother came to ask the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said to her: "Have you gone mad," meaning you have been struck by madness, and madness is insanity. This exists in our colloquial language; when someone says something unlikely, they say "you are mad," yes, meaning you have insanity in you. Then he said: "Is it one Paradise," meaning that the Paradies are more than one, that they are many Paradies, and that he is in the Garden of Firdaus. Allah is the Greatest. The difference between patience and seeking reward is that patience is restraining the self, and seeking reward is hoping for the reward. So a person may restrain his self and hold it back from distress and dissatisfaction, but the expectation of reward does not occur to him. If he is expecting the reward, he becomes
The reciter: patient
The Shaykh : No.
The reciter: one who seeks reward
The Shaykh : he becomes one who seeks reward
The Shaykh : It appears that your heart is not present.
May Allah be merciful to you! Have you lost your senses? Do you think there is only one Paradise? There are many Paradises and your son is in the (most superior) Paradise of Al- Firdaus.
