And prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions: The author (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted in his book *Riyad al-Salihin*:

The reader: In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may prayers and peace be upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions:
The author (may Allah have mercy on him) transmitted in his book *Riyad al-Salihin*:
" From Abu Sulayman, Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him), who said:

On the day (of the battle of) Mu'tah, nine swords were broken in my hand, and nothing was left in my hand except a Yemenite sword of mine.

لقد انقطعت في يدي يوم مؤتة تسعة أسياف، فما بقي في يدي إلا صفيحة يمانية

Sahih al-Bukhari 4265

Al-Bukhari narrated it.
And from 'Amr ibn al-'As (may Allah be pleased with him): that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:

When a judge gives a decision, having tried his best to decide correctly and is right, there are two rewards for him; and if he gave a judgment after having tried his best (to arrive at a correct decision) but erred, there is one reward for him.

إذا حكم الحاكم فاجتهد ثم أصاب فله أجران، وإذا حكم واجتهد فأخطأ فله أجر

Sahih Muslim 1716a

Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
And from 'A'ishah (may Allah be pleased with her), that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:

The fever from the vehement raging of the (heat of Hell), so cool it with the help of water.

الحمى من فيح جهنم فأبردوها بالماء

Sahih Muslim 2209a

Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim.
And from her (may Allah be pleased with her), from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), who said:

If a person dies without observing Saum (fasts), his Wali should make it up on his behalf.

من مات وعليه صوم صام عنه وليه

Riyad as-Salihin 1858

Agreed upon by al-Bukhari and Muslim".

The Shaykh : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful:
These scattered hadiths that al-Nawawi (may Allah have mercy on him) mentioned at the end of his book *Riyad al-Salihin* include the hadith of Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him): : Khalid ibn al-Walid (may Allah be pleased with him) was among the most courageous of people. He was in the army of the polytheist Quraysh during the Battle of Uhud, and he was among those who turned back on the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) from behind Mount Uhud, and they fought the Companions, and they fought the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he and 'Ikrimah ibn Abi Jahl. Then Allah granted them Islam, and they became commanders of the Muslims. In their story is evidence of the perfection of the power of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), and that He holds the reins of affairs, and that He misguides whom He wills and guides whom He wills. How many a misguided person Allah has guided, and how many a guided person Allah has misguided, refuge with Allah.
And look at the hadith of 'Abdullah ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him): that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: : meaning that a man works until there is only an arm's length left of his lifespan, meaning a short period, and then he dies and the decree overtakes him.
