Advice for one afflicted with memorizing songs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another question — perhaps it reveals something about his life — the questioner says to Your Eminence: When he wants to sleep, or in some situations, he remembers many songs. How can he get rid of this?
Answer:
This is also one of the causes of your forgetfulness; it is one of the causes of your forgetting the Book of your Lord and the Sunnah of your Prophet. Occupying yourself with songs, remembering them, and thinking about them are things that cause you to forget. It is among the sins that I have heard are causes of poor memorization. So beware of them, turn away from them, and do not pay attention to them. Allah has compensated you for them with something great: the Book of your Lord and the Sunnah of your Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). So adhere to the Book of your Lord, and beware of songs and frivolity.
As for the good poetry that contains wisdom, from the poetry of the people of goodness and knowledge, the Companions, and others, and the poetry that benefits you in your religion and in the language of the Qur'an and the Sunnah, there is nothing wrong with it.Sunan Abi Dawud 5010Sahih (Al-Albani) The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
