Two Curses
It was narrated that Anas b. Mālik (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: “There are two sounds that are cursed in this world and the hereafter: [حسن] وعن أنس بن مالكٍ رضي الله عنه قال: قال رسولُ الله - صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "صوتان ملعونان في الدنيا والآخرة: musical instruments at the time of niʿmah (ie: blessing), مزمارٌ عند نعمة، and screaming (ie: wailing and crying loudly) at the time of muṣībah (ie: calamity).” ورنَّةٌ عند مصيبةٍ". Reported by al-Bazzār and its narrators are thiqāt (ie: reliable). رواه البزار، ورواته ثقات. Muḥammad Nāṣir ʾl-Dīn al-Albānī, Ṣaḥīḥ al-Tarġīb wa ʿl-Tarhīb 3/381 #3527 محمد ناصر الدين الألباني، صحيح الترغيب والترهيب ٣/٣٨١ #٣٥٢٧ https://shamela.ws/book/179/1723 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

Sincere Advice
And it was reported from a chain to al-ʿIrbāḍ b. Sārīyyah (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: وأخرج بسنده عن الْعِرْبَاض بن سارية، قال: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood up among us one day and gave us an eloquent sermon by which our hearts trembled and tears came to our eyes. صلى بنا رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم- ذات يوم، ثم أقبل علينا، فوعَظَنا مَوْعظةً بليغةً، ذَرَفَت منها العيون، ووَجِلَت منها القلوب، We said: “O Messenger of Allah, it is as though this is a farewell sermon, so advise us.” فقال قائل: يا رسول الله، كأنها موعظة مُوَدِّع، فماذا تعهد إلينا؟ He said: “I advise you to fear Allah, قال: "أوصيكم بتقوى الله، and to hear and obey the ruler, والسمع والطاعه، even if an Ethiopian slave who's head is like a raisin becomes your ruler. وإن تأمر عليكم عبد حبشي، كأنّ رأسه زبيبة، Verily he among you who lives after me will see many differences, فإنه من يَعِش منكم بعدي، فسيرىَ اختلافا كثيرًا، so you must adhere to my Sunnah فعليكم بسنتي، and to the Sunnah of al-Khulafāʾ ʿl-Rāshidīn (ie: the rightly-guided Khulafah), وسنة الخلفاء الراشدين المهديين، تمسكوا بها، cling to them and bite on to it with your molar teeth. وعَضُّوا عليها بالنواجذ، Beware of newly invented matters (in worship), وإياكم ومحدثات الأمور، for every invented matter is a bidaʿh (ie: an innovation), فإن كل محدثة بدعة، and every bidaʿh is ḍalālah (ie: a going astray).” وكل بدعة ضلالة". I say: THe ḥadīth was reported by Abū Dāwūd, Ibn Mājah, and al-Ḥākim in al-Mustadrak. قلت: هذا الحديث أخرجه أبو داود، وابن ماجه، والحاكم في "مستدركه". Muḥammad b.

Setup For Failure
From ʿUqbah b. ʿĀmir from the Prophet ﷺ: “If you see that Allah gives the slave what he loves from al-dunyā even though he is disobedient, عَنْ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ عَامِرٍ «عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ: " إِذَا رَأَيْتَ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - يُعْطِي الْعَبْدَ فِي الدُّنْيَا عَلَى مَعَاصِيهِ مَا يُحِبُّ then that is gradual punishment from Allah.” فَإِنَّمَا هُوَ اسْتِدْرَاجٌ ". Then the Prophet ﷺ recited: {So, when they forgot (the warning) with which they had been reminded, We opened to them the gates of every (pleasant) thing, until in the midst of their enjoyment in that which they were given, all of a sudden, We took them to punishment, and lo! They were plunged into destruction with deep regrets and sorrows} [Anʿām: 44] ثُمَّ تَلَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - {فَلَمَّا نَسُوا مَا ذُكِّرُوا بِهِ فَتَحْنَا عَلَيْهِمْ أَبْوَابَ كُلِّ شَيْءٍ حَتَّى إِذَا فَرِحُوا بِم��ا أُوتُوا أَخَذْنَاهُمْ بَغْتَةً فَإِذَا هُمْ مُبْلِسُونَ} [الأنعام: 44]». Reported by Aḥmad and al-Ṭabarānī. رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ، Nūr ʾl-Dīn al-Haythamī, Majmūʿ al-Zawāʾīd 7/20 #10996 نور الدين الهيثمي، مجمع الزوائد ومنبع الفوائد ٧/٢٠ #١٠٩٩٦ https://shamela.ws/book/61/1999 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

The Death of a Child
And in the Musnad of Imām Aḥmad from Abū Mūsá al-Ashʿarī that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: وَفِي مُسْنَدِ الْإِمَامِ أَحْمَد عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى الْأَشْعَرِيِّ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ {قَالَ: When a child of a worshipper (of Allah) dies, Allah says to the Angels: “Have you taken the son of my worshipper?” إذَا قُبِضَ وَلَدُ الْعَبْدِ يَقُولُ اللَّهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ: أَقَبَضْتُمْ وَلَدَ عَبْدِي؟ They will say: “Yes.” فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ Allah will say: “Have you taken the fruit of his heart?” فَيَقُولُ: أَقَبَضْتُمْ ثَمَرَةَ فُؤَادِهِ؟ They will say: “Yes.” فَيَقُولُونَ: نَعَمْ Allah will say: “So what did my worshipper say?” فَيَقُولُ: مَاذَا قَالَ عَبْدِي؟ The Angel will say: “He praised You and said [inna lillahi wa inna ilayhi rājiʿūn (Indeed we belong to Allah and indeed our return is to Him)].” فَيَقُولُونَ: حَمِدَك وَاسْتَرْجَعَ Allah will say: “Build a house for my worshipper in Paradise and call it Bayt al-Ḥamd (ie: The House of praise).” فَيَقُولُ: ابْنُوا لِعَبْدِي بَيْتًا فِي الْجَنَّةِ وَسَمُّوهُ بَيْتَ الْحَمْدِ} Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmūʿ al-Fatāwá 10/43 ابن تيمية، مجموع الفتاوى ١٠/٤٣ https://shamela.ws/book/7289/4628 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

These Are The Times
From ʿAbd Allah b. ʿAmr (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ، عَنْ هِلَالِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ أَبِي الْعَلَاءِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي عِكْرِمَةُ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، قَالَ: We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while the people mentioned al-fitnah (ie: trials and tribulations) or al-fitnah was mentioned (to the Messenger) بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذْ ذَكَرُوا الْفِتْنَةَ - أَوْ ذُكِرَتْ عِنْدَهُ، and he ﷺ said: ��When you find that the people's commitments, promises, and obligations have become corrupt, and their trusts have diminished, and they used to be like this.” فَقَالَ: «إِذَا رَأَيْتَ النَّاسَ قَدْ مَرِجَتْ عُهُودُهُمْ، وَخَفَّتْ أَمَانَاتُهُمْ، وَكَانُوا هَكَذَا»، And he ﷺ clenched between his fingers. وَشَبَّكَ بَيْنَ أَصَابِعِهِ، The narrator said: So I stood up towards him and asked him: “What should I do at that time, may Allah make me a sacrifice for you?” قَالَ: فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: كَيْفَ أَفْعَلُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ، جَعَلَنِي اللَّهُ فِدَاكَ؟ He ﷺ said: “Stick to your homes, and hold back from speaking out, قَالَ: « الْزَمْ بَيْتَكَ، وَامْلِكْ عَلَيْكَ لِسَانَكَ، take the truth and leave off falsehood, وَخُذْ مَا تَعْرِفُ، وَدَعْ مَا تُنْكِرُ، and stick to matters which are specific to yourself, وَعَلَيْكَ بِأَمْرِ خَاصَّةِ نَفْسِكَ، and leave the matter which is a general matter for the people.” وَدَعْ عَنْكَ أَمْرَ الْعَامَّةِ» Aḥmad b.

Don't Delay Tawbah
Hastening to repent from sin is an immediate obligation, and delaying it is not permissible. مِنْهَا: أَنَّ الْمُبَادَرَةَ إِلَى التَّوْبَةِ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ فَرْضٌ عَلَى الْفَوْرِ، وَلَا يَجُوزُ تَأْخِيرُهَا، Whenever one delays it, they sin because of the delay. فَمَتَى أَخَّرَهَا عَصَى بِالتَّأْخِيرِ، If they then repent from the sin, another repentance remains upon them, which is repentance for delaying the first repentance. فَإِذَا تَابَ مِنَ الذَّنْبِ بَقِيَ عَلَيْهِ تَوْبَةٌ أُخْرَى، وَهِيَ تَوْبَتُهُ مِنْ تَأْخِيرِ التَّوْبَةِ، Rarely does this occur to the mind of the repenter. وَقَلَّ أَنْ تَخْطُرَ هَذِهِ بِبَالِ التَّائِبِ، Ibn al-Qayyim, Madārij al-Sālikīn 1/283 ابن القيم، مدارج السالكين ١/٢٨٣ https://shamela.ws/book/8370/257 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

A Convert Woman Living In The Masjid
She [a freed-slave girl] came to Allah's Messenger ﷺ and embraced Islām. قالت: فجاءت إلى رسول الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - فأسلمت، ʿĀʿishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: “She had a tent or a small room with a low roof in the masjid. قالت عائشة: فكان لها خباء في المسجد أو حفش، She would come to me and speak with me.” قالت: فكانت تأتيني فتحدث عندي، Aḥmad al-Ṭayyār, Ḥayāh al-Salaf 1/244 أحمد الطيار، حياة السلف ١/٢٤٤ https://shamela.ws/book/17505/241 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

Honouring the Guests
Sahl b. Saʿd reported: Abū Usayd al-Sāʿīdī (may Allah be pleased with him) invited the Prophet ﷺ to his wedding meal, (حَدَّثنَا قتيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ- يَعْني: ابْنَ أَبِى حَازِمٍ- عَنْ أَبِى حَازِمٍ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: دَعَا أَبُو أسَيْدٍ السَّاعِدِيُّ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم- فِي عرْسِهِ، during which his wife, the bride, served them. فَكَانَتِ امْرَأتهُ يَوْمَئِذٍ خَادِمَهُمْ، وَهِيَ الْعَرُوسُ، Sahl said, “Do you know what she served the Prophet ﷺ? قَالَ سَهْل: تَدْرُونَ مَا سَقَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ -صلى الله عليه وسلم-؟ She had prepared a drink by soaking dates in water overnight, and after the meal, she offered this drink to him.” أنقَعَتْ لَهُ تَمَرَاتٍ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ فِي تَوْرٍ، فَلَمَا أَكَلَ سَقَتْهُ إِيَّاهُ).

Be Salafi
al-Ḏahabī may Allah have mercy on him said: قال الذهبي رحمه الله تعالى: It is authentically reported from al-Dāraquṭnī that he said: "وصح عن الدارقطني أنه قال: “Nothing is more detestable to me than ʿilm al-kalām (ie: the science of theological rhetoric).” ما شيء أبغض إلي من علم الكلام. I (ie: al-Ḏahabī) say: A man should never engage in ʿilm al-kalām or al-jadal; rather, he should be Salafī (ie: adhere to the way of the Pious Predecessors). قلت: لم يدخل الرجل أبداُ في علم الكلام ولا الجدال، ولا خاض في ذلك، بل كان سلفياً" اهـ.

Support the Students of Knowledge
Ḥibbān b. Mūsá said: “Ibn al-Mubārak was once criticized for distributing his wealth across various lands instead of giving it to the people of his own city. وَقَال حبان بْن مُوسَى: عوتب ابْن الْمُبَارَك فيما يفرق المال في البلدان، ولا يفعل فِي أهل بلده، He replied: “I know of a group of people who possess faḍl wa ṣidq (ie: virtue and honesty). فَقَالَ: إني أعرف مكان قوم لهم فضل وصدق، They have pursued the study of ḥadīth and excelled in it. طلبوا الْحَدِيث فأحسنوا الطلب للحديث، People's need for them is dire, yet they themselves are in need. وحاجة الناس إليهم شديدة، وقد احتاجوا، If we leave them unsupported, their knowledge will be lost. فإن تركناهم ضاع علمهم، But if we provide for them, they will spread knowledge to the Ummah of Muḥammad ﷺ. وإن أغنيناهم نشروا العلم لأمة مُحَمَّد صلى الله عليه وسلم I know of no rank more honorable after prophethood than the spreading of knowledge.” ولا أعلم بعد النبوة درجة أفضل من بث العلم. al-Mizzī, Tahḏīb al-Kamāl fī Asmāʾ ʾl-Rijāl 16/19 المزي، تهذيب الكمال في أسماء الرجال ١٦/١٩ https://shamela.ws/book/3722/8047 @ilmtest [https://t.me/ilmtest]

Allah Has Always Had His Beautiful Names
