Explanation of the words of Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what he quoted: "

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The chapter on hastening to good deeds and encouraging one who turns to a good deed to complete it without hesitation" This title encompasses two things:
The first is hastening and rushing to good.
The second is that when a person resolves to do something that is good, he should proceed with it and not hesitate. As for the first, which is hastening, its opposite is delay and laziness. How many people have delayed and been lazy, only to miss out on much good! For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: A person should hasten in good deeds; whenever something good is mentioned to him, he should rush to it. Among these are prayer, charity, fasting, Hajj, dutifulness to parents, maintaining family ties, and other matters of good. He should hasten to them, for a person does not know what may happen; perhaps he will delay in something and then be unable to do it afterwards, whether due to death, illness, the passing of the time, or something else. It was reported in a hadith from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Something may occur that prevents him from doing it, so hasten to good and do not delay. Then the author mentioned the words of Allah, Blessed and Exalted is He: Among this is racing to the front rows in prayer, for the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: And regarding women, he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw some people in the back of the mosque who had not raced forward or moved ahead, so he said: So you should seize the opportunity and race to good. And He said: to the end of it. He said, "Hasten to forgiveness and Paradise." As for hastening to forgiveness, it is for a person to hasten to what brings forgiveness of sins, such as seeking forgiveness from Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, saying "O Allah, forgive me" or "O Allah, I seek Your forgiveness," and the like. Also, to what brings forgiveness, such as wudu, the five daily prayers, Friday to Friday, and Ramadan to Ramadan. If a person performs wudu thoroughly and then says: The eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him, and he will enter from whichever he wishes. Also, when he performs wudu, his sins will come out from the limbs he washed with the last drop of water. This is among the causes of forgiveness.
Among the causes of forgiveness are also the five daily prayers, which are an expiation for what is between them, provided major sins are avoided. Friday to Friday is an expiation for what is between them, provided major sins are avoided. Ramadan to Ramadan is an expiation for what is between them, provided major sins are avoided. So a person should hasten to the causes of forgiveness.
The second is: He said: This is achieved by doing the commanded acts. You hasten to Paradise by working for it, and there is no work for Paradise except righteous deeds. This is what leads to entering Paradise, so hasten to it. Then Allah described this Paradise, stating that its width is the heavens and the earth. This indicates its vastness and greatness, and that only Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, can measure it. So hasten to it by doing the righteous deeds that lead to it. May Allah grant success.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions.
He (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "The chapter on hastening to good deeds and encouraging one who turns to a good deed to proceed with it earnestly, without hesitation. Allah the Exalted said:

And race toward the good deeds.

فاستبقوا الخيرات

And He said:

And hasten to forgiveness from your Lord and a garden as wide as the heavens and earth, prepared for the righteous

وسارعوا إلى مغفرة من ربكم وجنة عرضها السماوات والأرض أعدت للمتقين

[Ali 'Imran 3:133]
