Continuation of the explanation of the statement of Imam al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) regarding what he quoted: "."

The Shaykh : In everything. Look at fasting; the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding it: , and in another hadith not in the two Sahihs: Why? Because delaying the pre-dawn meal makes it easier to fast than if it were taken early, and hastening to break the fast is easier and lighter for the soul, especially with the length of the day and the intensity of thirst. This and other evidence indicates that the easier option is better, so you should make things easy for yourself.
Likewise, in carrying out tasks: if you see that following this path is easier and closer, and the objective is achieved by it, do not burden yourself with other tasks that are more than necessary and which you do not need. Do what is easier in everything. Take this as a rule: "That following the easier and lighter path is more comfortable for the soul and better in the sight of Allah".
: This means do not take the paths of difficulty, neither in your worship, nor in your transactions, nor in anything else, for this is prohibited. , and for this reason: , because this involves hardship and difficulty for the person, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) says: .
The third phrase, he said: Give glad tidings: This means make your path always one of giving glad tidings. Give yourself glad tidings and give others glad tidings. That is, if you do a deed, be pleased with it; give yourself glad tidings. If you do a righteous deed, give yourself glad tidings that it will be accepted from you if you fear Allah in it, because Allah says: .
If you supplicate to Allah, give yourself glad tidings that Allah will respond to you, because Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, says: . For this reason, some of the Salaf said: "Whoever is granted success in supplication, let him give glad tidings of a response", "Whoever is granted success in supplication, let him give glad tidings of a response", because Allah said: . So you should give yourself glad tidings in every deed. This is supported by the fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): , [referring to] good omens, because when a person takes a good omen, he becomes energetic and pleased, and good comes to him. If he takes a bad omen, he withdraws, his chest tightens, and he does not proceed with the work, doing it as if he is forced. So you should give yourself glad tidings, and likewise others. Give others glad tidings: if a person comes to you, for example, and says he did such and such or such and such, and he is afraid, give him glad tidings, bring him joy. Especially when visiting a sick person; if you visit a sick person, say to him: "Give yourself glad tidings of good, and you are in a state of good, and the continuation of a state is impossible." The person is patient, seeks reward, and is rewarded for that, and the like. Give him glad tidings. Your face is pleasant today, your face is beautiful, and the like of this, because you bring him joy and give him glad tidings. So make your path like this in how you deal with yourself, and in how you deal with others: giving glad tidings. Give glad tidings, bring joy to yourself, bring joy to others; this is the good.
: This means do not drive people away from righteous deeds, and do not drive them away from the sound paths. Encourage them to them, even in worship, do not drive them away. Among this is if the imam prolongs the prayer with the congregation more than the Sunnah. For Mu'adh ibn Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), when he prayed the night prayer with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would go to his people and pray that prayer with them. One day, he entered the prayer and began a long surah, so some of the people left. A man left and prayed alone. It was said: "So-and-so has become a hypocrite." The man went to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Then Mu'adh came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said to him: . And the other man, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to him: . So driving people away is not permissible. Do not drive people away; be gentle with them. Even in calling to Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, do not call them to Allah in a way that drives them away. Do not say, if you see a person in error: "Oh so-and-so, you are in it, you have opposed, you have disobeyed," and the like. No, this drives them away; this increases them in persisting in disobedience. But call them with calmness and gentleness until they become accustomed to you and to what you are calling them to. By that, you comply with the command of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in his saying: . So take this hadith, O brother, take it as your capital: : Proceed to Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, on this principle, and on this path, and proceed with the servants of Allah in that, and you will find all the good. And Allah is the One who grants success.
The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
He said -may Allah have mercy on him-: "And from Anas (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:

Facilitate things to people (concerning religious matters), and do not make it hard for them and give them good tidings and do not make them run away (from Islam).
