 السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم والصلاة والسلام وعلى سيدنا ونبينا محمد وعلى آله وصحبه وسلم يا ربنا لك الحمد كما ينبغي لجلال وجهك وعظيم سلطانك اللهم يمقلب القلوب والأبصار ثبت قلوبنا على دينك اللهم افتح علينا افتح العرفين انفعنا بما علمتنا يا الله علمنا ما ينفعونا دائما يا رحم الرحيمين يا رب العالمين today inshallah we will have a commentary about a hadith that chose the favor of Allah سبحانه وتعالى that chose his mercy that chose his love to the ummah of سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم عن ابه ريرت رضي الله عنه ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال قال الله عز وجل وقوله الحق إذا هم عبدي بحسنة فكتبوها له حسنة فإن عميلها فكتبوها له بعشر أمثالها وإذا هم بسيئة فلا تكتبوها فإن عميلها فكتبوها بمثلها فإن تركها وربما قال لم يعمل بها فكتبوها له حسنة ثم قرأ من جاء بالحسنة فلا هم عشر أمثالها ومن جاء بالسيئة فلا يجئزاء إلا مثلها وهم لا يُظلموا فهما كانت تكتبت بابه ريرت رضي الله عنه ان رسول الله سبحانه وتعالى قال الله سبحانه وتعالى وهذا يكتبه حقا فهذا الله قال عندما أعسلت أمثالها فإن جاء بالسيئة فإنه يكتب فإنه يكتب فإنه يكتب فإنه يكتب و عندما تعتقد أنه يفعل شيء غريب ، عندما تعتقد أنه يفعل شيء غريب ، فهذا لا يفعله إذا كان يفعله حقاً ، فهذا يفعله إذا كان يفعله و ربما قاله إذا كان يفعله حقاً ، فهذا يفعله حقاً و then رفت محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم ورسلت من جاء أبي الحسنة فايلة و عشرو أمثالها وهم لا يُظلمون and they will not be wronged سبحان الله how merciful this is how loving this is how caring this is الله سبحانه وتعالى has promised سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم لن نسأك في أمتك we will not let you down for your nation another narration of this hadith الله سبحانه وتعالى says إن الله كتب الحسنات والسيئات ثم بينا ذلك فمن هم بحسنة فلم يعملها كتبه الله تبارك وتعالى عنده حسنة كاملة وإن هم بها فعملها كتبه الله عشر حسنات إلى سبع مئة ضعف إلى الظواف كثيرة وإن هم بسيئة فلم يعملها كتبه الله عنده حسنة كاملة وإن هم بها فعملها كتبه الله سيئة وحدة so الله سبحانه وتعالى says verily الله سبحانه وتعالى has ordered that the good and the bad deeds be written down then he explained it clearly how to be written how to be recorded so Allah سبحانه وتعالى says if he who intends to do a good deed but does not do it then Allah records it for him as a full good deed but if he carries out his intention then Allah سبحانه وتعالى writes it down for him from ten to seven hundred folds and even more but if he intends to do an evil deed but if he intends to do an evil act and has not done it then Allah سبحانه وتعالى writes it down with him as a full good deed but if he intends it and has done it then Allah سبحانه وتعالى writes it down as one bad deed so the whole thing revolves about intention so what's your intention is it to do something good or something evil so if someone thinks of doing something good and for any circumstance for any condition he could not do that then Allah سبحانه وتعالى will record it for him as a good deed and if he was able to act upon it and to fulfill what he had in his intention then Allah سبحانه وتعالى will record it for him and will have the reward from ten to seven hundred folds and sometimes more but again what about the intention of the bad deed if someone intends to do an evil act something bad and he does not do it then Allah will write it for him as a full good deed but if he intends to have a bad deed and to do a bad deed and then he does it then Allah writes it for him as one bad deed this is the utmost mercy and the utmost blessing of Allah سبحانه وتعالى that he has bestowed upon his slaves in our daily life when we hire someone for any type of work we pay him and Sayyidina Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم said أعطوا الأجيرة قبل أن يجف فعرقه so give the harley his wages before his sweat dries and which means reward people for their work immediately as they are done do not wait do not put off paying the due rights for people who did something for you just pay it on time and when you pay it pay it full and if you add more then you will be rewarded for this for this extra that you have done now look at the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى if someone does a good deed Allah rewards him immediately and this is what it said in the hadith فمن هم بحسنة him فعملها كتبه الله عشر حسنات or the first version it is فكتبوها له فكتبوها له so he orders the angels to record it immediately now what's the other case the other case if someone does something bad or an evil act then Allah سبحانه وتعالى orders the angels to wait and that record it immediately not to record a bad deed for this person why this is the mercy of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so when he orders the angels to wait then the reason for that is that this person might repent and ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى for forgiveness and Allah will forgive him especially when he makes duaاء and Allah has promised ask me and I will fulfill your promises but we have to know how to ask Allah سبحانه وتعالى so for someone who does a bad deed Allah will not record it immediately for him just in case that this person feels sorry and ask Allah for forgiveness if it is a good deed as we mentioned the reward will be 10 times and up to 700 times and in other cases way much more Allah says in Surat Al-Baqara والله يضاع فلي من يشاء Allah multiplies his reward for whoever he wants so how does this reward system work in Surat Al-Baqara in ayat 261 Allah سبحانه وتعالى says مثل الذين ينفقون أموالهم في سبيل الله كمثل حبة أمبتت 7 سنابل في كل سنبلة مائة حبة والله يضاع فلي من يشاء والله واسع ونعاليم so this reward system is explained in the Quran is explained by Allah سبحانه وتعالى so in Surat Al-Baqara ayat 261 Allah سبحانه وتعالى says the example of those who spend their wealth in the way of Allah ينفقون أموالهم في سبيل الله for the sake of Allah only again the main point that revolves about everything revolves about it is the intention and the intention here is is to be for the sake of Allah only for the sake of Allah no other intention some people spend so that people would say they are generous so they got their reward in dunya but they lose their reward in akhirah but here Allah سبحانه وتعالى is saying في سبيل الله their intention is just for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so what happens so the example of those who spend their wealth in the way for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى is like a seed a seed of grain which grows seven spites مثل حبة أمبتة سبعة ثنابل what about those spikes في كل سنبولة مائة حبة in each spike is a hundred grains so we had one then we had seven spikes and each spike has a hundred grains and Allah multiplies his reward والله يوضاع فلي من يشاء for whom he wills والله واسع ونعليم and Allah سبحانه وتعالى is hope encompassing and knowing in whose real intention of people why did you do that why did you act like this why did you look at this person like that why Allah knows everything then you will be highly rewarded now if the earth that you plant one seed in the earth gives you back spikes and you will have a hundred grains then this makes us think of the great reward that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has prepared for his righteous slaves and we mentioned earlier that this reward is ولا خطر على قلبي بشر not an eye has seen and not anyone has thought of so Allah's reward is unmatchable it's not bounded no limits it's continuous it won't get less Allah can give anyone he wills without being questioned why did you give him this why did you not give him that is this too much is this not anyone can question Allah سبحانه وتعالى so the believer should be happy that his life is highly rewarded when he does something good if he prays he will be rewarded if he fasts he will be rewarded if he gives charity he will be rewarded if he performs Hajj he will be rewarded if he is good to his parents he will be rewarded if he is good to his neighbors if he is good to his siblings if he is fulfilling the responsibilities that he has towards his family then he will be rewarded so whatever a person does that is as per Allah's system and the people of Allah understand this system fully so they hasten to pay lots of other than their dues of Zaka so they are paying now as we mentioned this system if you put one grain then it will be multiplied the reward if you do something good it will be 10 folds up to 700 times now when you pay Zaka when you pay Zaka so Zaka is something extra that you pay more than the amount of Zaka and by more I mean extra not more in how much it is no extra so you pay your dues of Zaka and when you pay extra and when they pay they know that they will be highly rewarded they know that this Zaka will purify their money they know that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will give them reward much more multiplied than what they paid so those friends of Allah they mention this to each other so that they will compete in paying for the sake of Allah and by doing this they are actually applying the ayahs of Surah when Allah سبحانه وتعالى إن الأبرارة لفينعين الأرائك ينظرون تعرفوا في وجوههم نبدرة نعيم يسقون من رحيق مختم ختامه مسكم وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون so this is the reward that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has indeed rewarded for the righteous people who will be in pleasure they will be on adorned couches they will be observing and if you look at them you will recognize in their faces the radiance of pleasure they will be given a drink يسقون من رحيق مختم pure wine that was sealed ختامه مسكم and the last of it is مسكم وفي ذلك فليتنافس المتنافسون so for this reward let the competitors compete so it's something amazing to understand the real meaning of the ayahs وفي ذلك for this pleasure let the righteous people compete with one another to please Allah سبحانه وتعالى to do good to have right deeds and it is sad أداله على الخير كفاعلي when you guide someone or when you make someone do something good you will get the same reward as he did he will get full reward and you will get the same reward so spent for the silk of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so those people the people of Allah they know how to compete so they urge each other to do more righteous deeds and this is why it is said عاشر من ينهضك حاله ويدلك على الله مقاله so befriend with those who when you sit with them you feel closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى you feel that you want to worship Allah سبحانه وتعالى when you look at their faces you remember Allah سبحانه وتعالى ويدلك على الله مقاله and their words remind you of Allah سبحانه وتعالى so when you sit with them you feel closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى when their words will urge you to make something good so the good صحبة is one of the ways that gets you closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى and a true friend reminds you when you make a mistake he makes you come back to the right path he takes your hand when you sleep he corrects you if you make a bad deed and this is why it is so important to always make dua that Allah saves us and provides us with good صحبة also we make dua that Allah سبحانه وتعالى provides our children with good صحبة look at the time that we are living in now you see the parents are righteous you see the parents are good but unfortunately one of their children some of their children are not following the right path they are following the friend who drags them to bad deeds so we have to make dua for our children that Allah protects them that Allah سبحانه وتعالى takes care of them that Allah سبحانه وتعالى will provide for them righteous friends good friends this is very important so when they see that their parents are fulfilling the rights of Allah سبحانه وتعالى in their deeds and in their houses there is a good environment a righteous environment and when they go out when they meet their friends this righteous environment expands it involves these children these friends whom they are with so good environment inside the house good environment outside the house this is very important we live in a time that all arrows are shooted against us against our children so when these arrows hit the child his life will be miserable his life will be miserable because he will be away from Allah سبحانه وتعالى so he will be committing one sin after the other without recognizing that this is a sin and this was mentioned in صورة المطففين when Allah سبحانه وتعالى says so the heart is like a white page now imagine that each sin is a black dot on this white page if this black dot is connected to another black dot is connected to another black dot which represents another sin another black dot then one day this white page will become black because of the black dots so we have to do still far still far acts like an eraser that will erase those black dots to keep the page white to keep the page pure to keep the page ready the light of Allah the light of سيدنا محمد the light of the Qur'an that we read every day the light of the Salawat that we send every day to سيدنا محمد so our heart is ready and this happens when we have the good sohbah when we have gatherings so be in those gatherings these are the gardens of faith so try to get as much of these gardens as you can so the good sohbah is one of the way that gets you closer to Allah سبحانه وتعالى because with good sohbah we get closer we feel that our position is being elevated because the words of these good sohbah of those who give classes of those who give nasiha this is purely for the sake of Allah سبحانه وتعالى and what they say comes out of their hearts and what comes out of the heart reaches the heart and the message is taken fully so one thing is highly rewarded so this is an example of something that is really highly rewarded by Allah سبحانه وتعالى it's practicing patience practice patience with your parents with your friends with your society with your every single time you are being at that you are being mistreated practice patience of course act wisely oh press your anger this is practicing patience and this is highly rewarded والحافينة عن الناس those who forgive those who forgive Muslim brother or Muslim sister for a mistake that they did for them those will be highly rewarded والقظيمين الغيضة والحافينة عن الناس والله يحب المحسينين الله سبحانه وتعالى love these people he loves those who practice patience and Allah سبحانه وتعالى once showed a person a palace on the day of judgment and Allah سبحانه وتعالى says this is for the one who pays its price and the man asked surprising he asked what is its price and Allah says forgiving your brother for a bad deed he did for you and the man said I accept Allah I forgive him and Allah سبحانه وتعالى rewarded this person so as I mentioned there are so many examples so many examples from being highly rewarded and our concern today our example the first example that we mentioned is the light of the grain that was planted and how much it gave so how much the reward is and we said we talked about paying صدق now we have to thank those sisters those brothers who collect money those who are less fortunate and to tell you the truth it's really a chance that Allah سبحانه وتعالى has given us to gain some good deeds so when we hear of someone asking for money to help others we have to jump in even if it's a small amount so do not belittle the reward even if it's a small amount it will be highly rewarded you never know which good deed will save you you never know which good deed will help you on the day of judgment you don't know which good deed will elevate your مقام on the day of judgment so let's not be those who feel sorry on the day of judgment to see the blessings of those who are higher in their مقام higher than their مقام and that the we don't know that one of the names of the day of judgment يوم القيامة is يوم الحسرة the day when people feel sorry if you think about it is it just those who did not obey Allah سبحانه وتعالى in this dunya when they saw the hellfire they feel sorry for themselves they feel sorry that they did not follow the right way that's one thing but even the people of general they feel sorry why? they feel sorry that they see the reward of the higher مقام of the people of the higher مقام then they will feel sorry that they did not do more they did not do they did not help other more help to others they did not do send more they did not do more they did not attend the extra gatherings so it is يوم الحسرة so back to the very first point whatever you whatever good you do in this dunya in this life you will be recorded it will be recorded for you and you will be rewarded for that for that deed that you have done and just always remember that all you do is saved all you practice or whatever you do whatever you see whatever you look at whatever you hear whatever you go everything is recorded and you will be judged and you will be either rewarded or punished as per your deeds so everything is saved and who is it saved with with Allah SWT with the most just the one who multiplies the rewards as much as he wills and the one who considers who assign just one bad deed for the bad or for the evil deeds that we make so just imagine that Allah is multiplying your rewards is giving you way more than what you do you know when you do something good your heart is at ease that one day you will be rewarded never ever do something for anyone and expect thank you return for that deed because if you expect some type of reward for something you do for others and you don't get it you get depressed and you will lose your reward in the day after just be with Allah SWT and do your deeds only for the sake of Allah SWT have your intentions for Allah SWT only why? إن الله بما تعملونه بصير indeed of Allah of what you do is seen he knows everything nothing is hidden from Allah SWT even what you mention to yourself Allah knows it so so we mentioned that the reward will be ten times up to seven hundred or even extra what is this extra Allah says in Surat Yunus للذين أحسنوا الحسنة وزيادة ولا يرهق وجوها هو قطر ولا ذلة أولئك أصحاب الجنة هم فيها خالدون for them for them who have done is the best reward and extra so those who have done good they will have the best reward and they will have extra الحسنة وزيادة no darkness will cover their faces on the day of judgment no humiliation those are the companions of paradise those are the people of paradise and they will abide there eternally eternally so they did good and they deserve a great reward so what is this زيادة what is this زيادة what is this extra it is the multiplication of the reward of the good deeds which might exceed 700 folds but the word زيادة was interpreted differently and سيد محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم mentions this أبهرير رضي الله عن narrated that صلى الله عليه وسلم قال إذا دخل أهل الجنة الجنة ينادي منادي إن لكم أن تحيه فلا تموتوا أبدا وإن لكم أن تصحوا فلا تسقموا أبدا وإن لكم أن تشبوا فلا تحرموا أبدا وإن لكم أن تنعموا فلا تبأسوا أبدا so this is what أبهرير رضي الله عن narrated he reported that the messenger of Allah سبحانه وتعالى said when the dwellers of جنة enter جنة an announcer will will call you have a promise from Allah that you will live therein and you will never die you will stay healthy therein in jannah and you will never fall ill you will stay young and you will never become old you will be under a constant bliss and you will never feel miserable and in another hadith الله سبحانه وتعالى will lift the cover will lift the hijab between him and those people who will receive the ziyada the extra and they will look at Allah سبحانه وتعالى they will feel the happiness and Allah سبحانه وتعالى only is the only one who decides the how much the reward is so with this we we come to an end of this hadith that we have looked into actually if we want to talk about it it will take us days days and days and days and wings and we will not cover the deep meanings of this hadith الله سبحانه وتعالى is the most generous الله سبحانه وتعالى is the one who will reward us الله سبحانه وتعالى is the one who will multiply our reward and the best reward for us is to be with سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم and إن شاء الله until we meet next week I sent my سلام to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم accompanied with you and we tell him we love you we are and we are longing to you we are we are asking Allah سبحانه وتعالى to grant us a visit to his baytul haram his sanctuary and a visit to سيدنا محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم with this we end the session for today السلام عليكم ورحمة الله وبركاته
