 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم وأفضل الصلاة وأتم التسليم على سيدنا ونبينا وحبيبنا سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم وعلى آله يا رحم الرحيمين يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي الجلال وجه كما عظيم سلطانك اللهم افتح علينا فتوح العرفين اللهم اللهم اللمنا ما ينفعنا وانفعنا بما علمتنا يا رحم الرحيمين ان شاء الله سنبدأ مع حديث نمبر 23 سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم سيد أهز ربورت باي أبي مالكين الحارث ابن عاصمني الأشعري قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أطه رشطر الإيمان والحمد لله تملأ الميزان وسبحان الله والحمد لله تملأان أو تملأ ما بين السماوات والأرم والصلاة نور والصدقة برهان والصبر ضياء والقرآن حجة لك أو حجة عليك كل الناس يغدوا فبائع النفسه فمعتقوها أو مبقوها أبو مالك الحارث النعاص من الأشعري رضي الله عنه قال رضي مسجر الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال حجة is half of faith and the praise of Allah سبحانه وتعالى fills the scale glorification and praise fill up what's between the heavens and the earth prayer is noor prayer is light charity is proof and patience is illumination the Quran is a proof it's a proof for you or against you all people go out early in the morning and sell themselves either setting themselves free or ruining themselves it's an amazing caliph that's it Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم started it by saying purity is half of faith so purification of the body it includes purification of the heart purification of all the diseases of the heart envy pride selfishness etc so purification here is of both physically and spiritually so both is considered as half of faith so we have to empty our hearts we have to purify our hearts we have to empty it from this dunya and we're all clinging to it so it can receive the divine light the light which will guide our path that leads to safety and this we need this safety this is the safety that we are seeking on the day of judgment so الحمد لله when we are there when we are safe when we are safe we say الحمد لله and say the Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم says الحمد لله تملأ الميزان so الحمد لله which is the praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى fills the scale and it means the reward fills the scale the day of judgment so whenever we have something good in this dunya we have to thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى for giving it to us because it's not us that we did the good thing or it's not us that we followed the good things no it's Allah سبحانه وتعالى that guided us to do so so we thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى we thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى for what's good and what's bad how? why? so when we have something good we thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى because we follow the orders of Allah when he said if you thank me then I will increase the bounties and we thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى in case of calamities that for example we had a car accident and someone broke his leg so he will say الحمد لله it's only one leg الحمد لله it's not the hip الحمد لله my head is not injured so we thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى in all cases in all circumstances we just praise Allah سبحانه وتعالى we just thank Allah سبحانه وتعالى but do we know how to thank him? no and that's why there are so many duhas that that show Allah سبحانه وتعالى that we don't know how to thank him and one of these duhas we say اللهم إنه لا نحصيثنا عليك أنت كما أثليت على نفسك يا الله we don't know how to thank you the way that you wanted us to thank you or the way that you deserve to be thanked we don't know how to thank you يا الله we say the words that we can that come on our tongue but we really don't know how to thank you يا الله و سبحان الله والحمد لله تم لأني أو تم لأما بين السماوات والأرض سبحان الله means to free Allah سبحانه وتعالى from any perfection to free Him from any need we know that Allah سبحانه وتعالى does not need us, we need Him and the best way to say سبحان الله it actually comes naturally when we see a very beautiful scene the first word we say سبحان الله so these two phrases سبحان الله و الحمد لله they fill between the skies and the earth و الصلاة نور الصلاة so performing the salah is نور is light how? the light we get from salah is great and the outer appearance is nothing but a reflection of the inner appearance so when we perform the salah the heart will be filled up with light which will be reflected on the face and that's why when you see someone special or someone with a radiant face you say this person has نور on his face so his inner appearance is reflected on the outer appearance so what you see on the face is what is inside the heart so a salah fills up the heart with نور و الصلاة نور و الصداقة برهان so charity is a proof when you give money to the people who are less fortunate then you feel so happy that you made them happy and it's a great feeling to feel this happiness in the heart so we have to be givers and Allah سبحانه و تعالى has appointed Joseph a very small portion of our money to the poor and to the needy that if each and everyone pays his charity then there won't be any poor people in this dunya but charity is not easy on the hypocrites it's hard on the hypocrites how can they help people whom Allah has made poor no those poor people have rights in your money that you have to give so when Allah سبحانه و تعالى gives you money this is fitna because he wants to test you do you deserve this money or not so many people were rich but they did not fulfill Allah's right and the poor's right in their money and Allah destroyed their wealth they made them lose it because charity is just growth in the money because Allah سبحانه و تعالى has promised if you give for his sake if you pay charity then he will multiply he will reward you و الصدقة و برهام and then سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم و الصبر و ضياب practicing patience also gives you light we all pass through so many tests and the reason for the test is about الله سبحانه و تعالى is testing us what are we going to do in times of hardship are we going to practice patience or are we going to to keep nagging and keep opposing and keep asking Allah why did you do that why me why no there is no why الله سبحانه و تعالى has given us a test and he wants to see how we react so we want to be winners we want to be successful after these tests و القرآن حجة لك أو عليك so the Quran is a proof for you or against you the Quran is words of Allah سبحانه و تعالى it is a complete protocol it's a complete program for our lives so we have to listen to the Quran we have to recite the Quran we have to understand the Quran we have to apply the Quran we have to follow its orders it's the words of Allah سبحانه و تعالى and it is said that the Quran is a rope it's the one of the ends is the with Allah سبحانه و تعالى and he has given us the second end of this rope so we have to catch this this rope we have to to fulfill our duty towards the Quran and the more we know our Quran the more we will be rewarded in the day after in heaven a person would hear يقرأ ورطقي read, recite Quran and raise up so those who have good connection a strong bond with the Quran in this dunya they will be highly elevated in the day after and the more we understand the Quran and the more we apply it then the closer we are to Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم on the day of judgment because when we apply it then we are following the rules of how we should treat people what are our duties towards Allah سبحانه و تعالى what are our duties towards people what are our duties towards ourselves so we have strong bond with the Quran that that will that will be a saver for us in the day of judgment so والقرآن الحجة لك أو عليك so this is if you fulfill the duties your part towards the Quran then this is something good for you but if you don't then it will be something bad against you so the Hadith here focuses on the importance of remembering Allah سبحانه و تعالى doing the dhikr سبحان الله و الحمد لله والله أكبر and reading the words of Allah سبحانه و تعالى and being closer to Allah سبحانه و تعالى through his Quran كل الناس يغضوا فبائع النفسه فمعتقها أو موبقها every day we walk up so each and every person will do either good during the day or doing bad if he does good then he saves himself or if he does bad during the day then he ruins himself so this is the first Hadith that we are doing today and we will see how all the Hadith are connected together in the next Hadith سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم is giving us a Hadith Qudsi what does this what does the word Hadith Qudsi mean and how does it differ from a regular Hadith the Hadith Qudsi is the meaning of the Hadith is from but the words are not where if we compare it to the Quran the Quran was sent down in wording and meaning but the Hadith Qudsi was sent down only in meaning and we can recite Hadith in Salah but we cannot recite Hadith Qudsi and the regular Hadith is just the words the actions the reports of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم something that happens to within the life of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم so we have a regular Hadith and of course the words of Allah which is the Quran so أبي ذرني الغفاركي رضي الله عنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم فيما يروي عن ربه عز وجل أنه قال so رضي الله عنه reported الله is messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and saying that الله the exalted and glorious said said okay so يا عبادي إني حرمت الظلم على نفسي وجعلته بينكم محرما فلا الظالم all my servants I have forbidden oppression from myself and have made it forbidden amongst you amongst you so do not oppress one another so الله سبحانه وتعالى said I will not practice injustice against anyone so you have also you have to to be just between your each people between people and you have to be just for yourself also you have to show justness to yourself so you don't practice injustice against people you have to be good to people you cannot oppress anyone and also you have to be careful not to oppress yourself when you sin then you are oppressing yourself because you are leading yourself to go to hell fire when you sin and you do not repent so injustice is forbidden so never be an oppressor the mom can be an oppressor if she does not care take care of her responsibilities she has duties towards her husband she has duties towards her children she has duties towards her house she has duties towards her neighbors she has to be a good person she cannot oppress anyone so if each and every person in this life watches out what are his responsibilities and never oppress them never oppress the people who he is responsible for them then the whole society will be sad then الله سبحانه وتعالى جزان and he said يا عبادي كلكم بالللا من هديته فاستهدوني أهدكم all my servants you are all astray except for those I have guided so see the guidance of me and I shall guide you so now we we see in this dunya how people are going astray right and left if you go and check the roots for this is the parents have neglected their duty towards their children when they were so young they did not tell them what's right and what's wrong they did not tell them they did not show them that you can't do this and you cannot do that they did not show their kids that if you do this then you will disobey Allah سبحانه وتعالى and if you do that then you will ruin yourself you will ruin your akhirah so do not wait until your children are old enough and then say oh they are not praying they are not listening they are not good children no you cannot pick up a fruit if you did not water the seed if you did not take care of the of the tree when it was growing up it will not give you good seeds it will not give you good fruit because the seed is ruined so ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for guidance always and you as parents have to always make dua that Allah would protect your children that Allah would guide your children that Allah would provide your children with the good Suhba because this is very important the good Suhba we hear so many stories about the bad Suhba that took the children astray from their parents there is no solid foundation so any wind right or left can take the child away يا عبادي كلكم جائعا إلا من أطعمته فستطعموني وطعمكم oh my servants all of you are hungry except for those I have fed so seek food of me and I shall feed you so we are all hungry if Allah سبحانه وتعالى has not given us then how can we how can we eat if there is no provision how can we eat and if we cannot eat then we would get sick and when we get sick we will not be able to worship Allah سبحانه وتعالى so when we have our food we have to have the Nia يا الله we are eating so to be strong so to be able to worship you يا عبادي كلكم عارن إلا من كسوته فستكسوني وطعمكم oh my servants all of you are naked except for those I have closed so seek clothing of me and I shall close you so we cannot do anything without the help of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and in all these cases Allah سبحانه وتعالى is asking us to make dua to not belittle the power of dua if you need anything from Allah سبحانه وتعالى just make dua and he is he wants us to make dua for food he wants to make dua for guidance he wants us to make dua for clothing he wants us to talk to him talk to Allah and Allah will be closest to you at several times the first one is when you are making sujood you are the closest to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and before the prayer Allah سبحانه وتعالى is the closest to us and he will be saying is there someone who is repenting so I would accept the repentance is there someone who is asking for forgiveness and I will forgive him is there until the pleasure then comes in this is blessed time do not lose it wake up before the pleasure a little bit and just make dua and talk to Allah سبحانه وتعالى يا عبادي إنكم تخطيون بالليلي والنهار وأنا أغفر الظنوب جميعا فاستغفروني أغفر لكم oh my servants you sin by night and day and I forgive all sins so seek forgiveness of me and I shall forgive you again ask Allah for forgiveness we are all sinners but we ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for forgiveness we ask Allah we repent Allah سبحانه وتعالى and Allah سبحانه وتعالى accepts everybody's repentance unless he's on the deathbed and he knows that there is no way that's the end and then he says I repent يا الله that should be before during our lives every day just say يا الله اللهم إني تبتوا إليك يا الله يا الله I am repenting forgive me forgive me I am afraid of the day after يا الله save me save me oh Allah يا عبادي إنكم لن تبلغوا ضريفة ضروني ولا نتبلغوا لفعية تنفعوني so Allah سبحانه وتعالى he's saying here you will not oh my servants you will not attain harming me so as to harm me and you will not attain benefiting me so as to benefit me you cannot do anything to me which means we need Allah سبحانه وتعالى he doesn't need us he does not need anything from us يا عبادي لو أن أولكم وآخركم وإنسكم وجنكم كانوا على أتقاق البرجل واحد منكم ما زاد ذلك في مرحي شيء oh my servants where the first of you and the last of you the human of you and the jinn of you where to be as pious as the most pious heart of anyone any one man of you that would not increase my dominion it will not increase my dominion let me anything يا عبادي لو أن أولكم وآخركم وإنسكم وجنكم كانوا على أفجر تقلب رجل واحد ما نقص ذلك من مرحي شيء oh my servants now the other way so the first group everyone was good now the second group all my servants were the first of you and the last of you the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked heart of anyone man of you that would not decrease my dominion in anything nothing at all يا عبادي لو أن أولكم وآخركم وإنسكم وجنكم قاموا في صعيد واحد فسألوني فأعطيت كل إنسان مسألته ما نقص ذلك من ما عندي إلا كما يقص المخيط oh my servants were the first of you and the last of you the human of you and the jinn of you to raise up in one place to everyone is in one place and make a request of me and everyone is asking me for something and I were to give everyone that he requested that would not decrease what I have that would not decrease anything in my kingdom so that would not decrease it anymore that a needle decreases the sea if put into it so imagine someone taking a needle and putting it in a sea and then raising it what does this needle hold how much of the sea water this is what Allah is saying what Allah is saying and the last one he is saying the last part يا عبادي إنما هي أعمالكم أحصيها لكم ثم أوفيكم إياها فمن وجد خيرا فاليحمد الله ومن وجد غير ذلك فلا يلو من إلا نفسه so oh my servants it is but your deeds that I record for you so Allah is recording everything for us what we say what we do how we look how we look at things how we look at people how our tongue what our tongue is saying is it saying any قيب ونميمة any backbiting any bad words anything not good or is it just everything good so it is nothing but your deeds that I record for you and then recompense you for so when you come back to me then you will be you will stop before Allah and Allah will ask people Allah will will talk to people so let everyone let him who finds good praise Allah we did good in this dunya then he will be a winner and he will find good in the day after so if this happens when this happens praise Allah and let him who he finds other than that if someone finds something bad something evil that he has done he took his record in his left hand he has a black face then that blame that person should not blame anyone or anything but himself because this is what the result of all his deeds in the dunya so if you look at each and every part of the hadith you find that it starts with يا عبادي يا عبادي so the hadith the benefit of repeating the phrase يا عبادي oh my servants it reminds the listener of his or her status we are the slaves of Allah we are all slaves so we have to understand that we cannot oppress anyone and we cannot oppress ourselves even so we have to be good so this is how the hadiths are related to each other they are connected to each other then in the next hadith سيدنا أبوزر رضي الله عنه ساد أن أناس من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قالوا للنبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يا رسول الله ذهب أهل الدثور بالأجور يصلون كما نصلي ويصومون كما نصوم ويتصدقون بفضول أموالهم so أبوزر may Allah be pleased with him some people came to say محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and said to him all messenger of Allah the rich have taken away all the reward so they were complaining they observe صلى as we do and they give صدقة as we do they give صدقة out of their surplus with because they are poor or they are rich and we are the poor so what did he say المحمد صلى الله عليه وسلم قال الله أقول لكم ما تصدقون he gave them the answer he gave them the solution to their problem he said to them has Allah سبحانه وتعالى not prescribed to you following what you can also give صدقة so he is giving us the answer so what's the answer how is it going إنه بكل تسبيحة صدقة in every declaration of the glorification of Allah which is saying سبحان الله there is a صدقة so now سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم is going to list different types of صدقة so the first one is saying لا إله إلا الله and the first one is saying بكل تسبيحة سبحان الله the first one is saying سبحان الله this is the first صدقة then وكل تكبيرة صدقة and every تكبير every time you say الله أكبر this is صدقة and another type of صدقة وكل تحميدة صدقة in every praise of Allah سبحانه وتعالى whenever you say الحمد لله this is صدقة and وفي كل تهليلة صدقة and in every time you say تهليلة is لا إله إلا الله this is صدقة so how many صدقات now do we have سبحان الله الحمد لله لا إله إلا الله so each of these are صدقات then وأمر بالمعروف صدقة and in joining of good is صدقة so if you see something good and you tell people to do it then this is in joining of good this is صدقة ونهي عن منكر صدقة and in forbidding evil is صدقة so when you see someone doing something bad something evil you should you should prevent him and there are so many three at least three steps of of forbidding first of all to talk to him and to give the order of forbidding if not so to to change it yourself if not then to make dua for that person okay so وأمر بالمعروف والصدقة ونهي عن منكر صدقة وفي بضعي أحدكم صدقة and in anyone's sexual intercourse between a husband and a wife there is a صدقة and the companions here said oh يا رسول الله أيأتي أحدنا شهوته ويكون له فيها أجر so they asked oh messenger of Allah is there a word for a person who satisfies his sexual needs among us and he said سيد محمد صدق الله عليه وسلم ساد قال أرأيتم لو وضعها في حرام كان عليه ويزر so he said you see if that person was to satisfy himself with something forbidden with something haram would it not be a sin on his part فكذلك إذا وضعها في الحلال كان له أجر similarly if he were to satisfy it legally to satisfy it in a way then he will be rewarded so this is this حديث is about competing in doing the good so those poor people came to say محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and they said يا رسول الله the rich ones have competed have won the competition they did so and they are doing so and so and we cannot do that so he gave them solution to their problem he gave them a lot of so many ways that each and everyone is considered a صدق and this is out of the mercy of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم that he did not he did not just get the good things to be for those who are who can do it no each and every one of us can do so many of those صدقات سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم said now in the last حديث that we are covering today we are going to talk about the فضل of الله سبحانه وتعالى the blessings of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم كل سلامة من الناس عليه صدقه so the messenger of Allah said on the authority of Abu Hurairah is a compulsory صدقه a compulsory charity to be given for every joint of the body so every joint in your body which you are using الحمد لله it's this joint is a sign of Allah's perfection in creating us so we have to show gratitude to Allah سبحانه وتعالى so there is a compulsory صدقة to be given for every joint of the human body as a sign of gratitude to Allah سبحانه وتعالى when every day the sun rises what does this mean you pray two rakaz of صلاة الدوحة in صلاة الدوحة is the prayer that we pray after about 20 minutes of when after the sun rises and this is just to show gratitude to Allah سبحانه وتعالى that he has created us in a perfect way كل يوم تطلعوا فيه الشمس يعدل بين الإثنين صدقة وعين الرجل في دابته فيحمله عليها أو يرفع له عليها متاعه صدقة والكلمة الطيبة صدقة وبكل خطوة يمشيها إلى صلاة صدقة ويميط الألعان الطريق صدقة تتم الحديث سبحان الله سو what does this mean this hadith also is listing different types of صدقة that has been mentioned previously in the previous hadith so the first one is يعدل بين الإثنين صدقة to judge justly between two people is regarded as صدقة good this is also related to the previous hadith that Allah has prevented injustice and made it haram amongst people so when you practice just then when you are just then this is called صدقة and also ويعين الرجل في دابته so helping a man concerning writing his animal so if if you help someone writing writing a car or getting up on a plane or doing something so you are helping so helping him to write it or by lifting his luggage into it then this is صدقة so if you are in flying taking a flight and you see an old lady an old man wanting to lift his luggage up and of course help that's a صدقة ولكلمة طيبة صدقة so saying a good word is also صدقة a woman a wife saying good words to her husband is صدقة saying good words to her children is صدقة saying good words to her in-laws is صدقة saying good words to her parents is صدقة saying her good words to her siblings is صدقة and of course it comes to everybody so always say good things and this reminds us of the previous hadith that we said لا يؤمنوا أحدكم من كان يؤمنوا بالله واليوم الآخر فليقل خير الأولي اسمط whoever believes in the day of judgment then let him say good things or be silent so saying a good word is also صدقة و بكل خطوة يمشيها إلى الصناتي صدقة so every step every step taken on one's way to offer the prayer in a mosque is also صدقة so go to mosques and when you are there in the parking don't park on the closest parking parking spaces to the door make it a little further so you can get more حسنات more good deeds and to remove a harmful thing from the way is also a صدقة so if you if you see some glass on the on the street remove it with the intention that you are helping people not to harm themselves then you will be rewarded this is a صدقة so now within the حديث that we learned today we found so many ways of getting صدقas and صدقas here is just to get as good deeds as we can the doors of good deeds are open they are so many there are so many doors and sometimes you hear that people say we there are so many doors that we can open to get into paradise and all these doors are the doors of having good manners so if we connect all the حديث that we have learned so far we will find that they are all related to each other so we ask الله سبحانه وتعالى to guide us to do all all possible possible ways of صدق all possible ways of good deeds so that we get highly rewarded in the day after and we get connected with صلى الله عليه وسلم and we end with يا ربنا لك الحمد والشكر والنعمة والرضا we thank you يا الله we thank you for everything that you have given us for all the blessings that you have given us and we thank you for all the blessings that you have prepared for your winners for your good servants whom they followed your orders and whom you will be satisfied on the day of judgment يا رحمة رحمين and until we meet again next week إن شاء الله I would leave you by sending your Salam and my Salam to say that Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم والسلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
