Sa'īd ibn Al-Musayyab (d.94H) related that he was sitting in the Rawdah (of the Prophet ﷺ), and heard someone call upon Allāh with the words:

اللهمّ إني أسألك عملاً بارّاً
ورزقاً دارّاً وعيشاً قارّاً

"O Allāh, I beseech You for a righteous deed, an unending provision, and a steady living."

Ibn Al-Musayyab added: "I supplicated (with this same du'ā) and saw nothing but sheer goodness."

Clear Intention 💠

Muhammad ibn Ishāq (d.150H) said:

احرص على أن لا تعمل شيئا إلا بنية فإنك تؤجر في جميع أعمالك، إذا أكلت فإنوا بذلك التقوي لطاعة الله، وكذلك في نومك وتفرجك وسائر أعمالك فإنك ترى ذلك في ميزان حسناتك

❝ Take particular care not to do anything except with wilful intent, for you'll be rewarded for every deed of yours. If you eat, then intend by it: to become more mindful in obeying Allāh... And similarly, in your sleeping and utilising of leisure time, you'll find all such deeds in the balance of your good deeds. ❞

Commenting on this piece of advice, Abu Muhammad bin Hazm (d.456H) said: "Ever since I heard it, I benefited from it and have continued to benefit from it."

"Whoever would like that Allāh opens up his heart to Him, or sharpens his insight, then let him leave out much speech that doesn't concern him. Let him avoid sin and have between himself and Allāh, cache of hidden good deeds.

If he does so, then Allāh will open up for him, beneficial knowledge that will distract him from other (useless) things."

General Tawbah doesn't necessitate recalling specificities. Ibn Rajab (d.795H) said:

ومن الذنوب ما ينساه العبد ولا يذكره وقت الاستغفار، فيحتاج العبد إلى استغفار عام من جميع ذنوبه - ما علم منها وما لم يعلم - والكل قد علمه الله وأحصاه، فلهذا قال عليه الصلاة والسلام: واستغفرك لما تعلم، إنك أنت علّام الغيوب

"There are those sins that a person has forgotten and doesn't remember at the time of seeking Allah's forgiveness. Subsequently, he needs to seek forgiveness for all of his sins in general terms - what he knows of them and what he doesn't know - All of them are known and numerated by Allāh. That is why the Prophet ﷺ said in his du'ā:

واستغفرك لما تعلم، إنك أنت علّام الغيوب

"And I seek Your forgiveness for what You know. Indeed, You are the Knower of the unseen."

One of our exemplars of the past said:

تعلّمت معنى [سورة العصر] من بائع الثلج، كان يصيح ويقول: ارحموا من يذوب رأس ماله، ارحموا من يذوب رأس ماله؛ فقلتُ: هذا معنى: إنّ الإنسان لفي خسر، يمرُّ به العصرُ فيمضي عمره ولا يكتسب، فإذا هو خاسر

"I learned the meaning of Sūrah Al-'Asr from a person selling ice. He used to shout out in the market place: 'Have mercy on him whose capital is melting, be merciful on him whose capital will melt.'

I came to know this is what it means: That man is in loss, for time is passing him by, and his life runs out without him gaining anything, so he ends up as a loser."

Be Like 'Umar

كان عمر أعقل من أن يُخدَع، وأورع من أن يَخْدَع

'Umar ibn al-Khattāb (ر) was too smart to be deceived, and he was ever so cautious (of Allāh) to deceive (others).

Vantage Point 🧭

Salamah ibn Dīnār (d.144H) said:

شيئان إذا عملتَ بهما، أصبتَ بهما خير الدنيا والآخرة؛ تَحمَّلُ ما تَكره إذا أحبَّه الله، وتتركُ ما تُحب إذا كرهه الله عزَّ وجلَّ

Effectuate two things in your life and with them, you'll gain the positivities of this world and the next:

🔸 Bear with whatever you detest if it's beloved to Allāh.

🔸 Let go of what you love if it's detested by Allāh.

Be SMART  🕶️

Wahb ibn Munnabih (d.110H) said:

وإني وجدت في بعض ما أنزل الله على أنبيائه أن الشيطان لم يكابد شيئا أشد عليه من مؤمن عاقل، وأنه يكابد مائة ألف جاهل فيسخر بهم حتى يركب رقابهم فينقادون له حيث شاء، ويكابد المؤمن العاقل فيصعب عليه حتى لا ينال منه شيئا 

"I've read in some of what Allāh revealed, that indeed nothing is more painfully severe upon shaytān than a wise and intelligent believer. Yet, he's able to endure a hundred thousand ignorant people, while ridiculing and riding on them and getting them to comply however he wants. With a smart believer however, shaytān struggles because he makes things difficult for him until he ends up getting nothing from him."

﴿ ما لَكُمْ لَا تَرْجُون لِله وَقارًا ﴾

"What is the matter with you that you are not in awe of the Majesty of Allāh." {Nūh, 13}

ومن وقاره أن تستحي منه في الخلوة، أعظم مما تستحي من أكابر الناس

"From the sheer reverence and majesty of Allāh is that you exhibit a deep sense of shyness towards Him in your privacy [as you would in public]. A shyness far exceeding the shyness you feel in the company of VIPs."

One of the wonderful things said about seizing opportunities and not wasting them: Shabīb ibn Shaybah (d.170H) said:

لا تدع الأمر إذا أقبل، ولا تطلبه إذا أدبر

"Do not miss out on something (worthy) if it comes your way, and do not chase it if departs (from you)."

'IQRA 📖

Al-Muzanī narrated, "I heard Al-Shāfi'ī (d.204H) say:

من تعلم القرآن عظمت قيمته، ومن تكلم في الفقه نما قدره، ومن كتب الحديث قويت حجته، ومن نظر في اللغة رق طبعه، ومن نظر في الحساب جزل رأيه، ومن لم يصن نفسه لم ينفعه علمه

'He who learns the Qur'ān magnifies his worth, he who speaks with Fiqh elevates his standing, he who pens Hadīth strengthens his argument, he who pays attention to the (Arabic) language will refine his temperament, he who considers arithmetic [hisāb] expands his sound opinion; and whoever does not safeguard himself (from sin) will not benefit from his knowledge.'"

Falling Like leaves… 🍃🍂

روي عن النبي عليه الصلاة والسلام:

إنَّ العبدَ إذا قامَ يُصلِّي أُتِي بُذُنوبِه كُلِّها فَوُضِعَتْ على رأسِه وعاتِقَيْهِ، فكُلَّما رَكعَ أو سَجدَ تَساقَطَتْ عَنْهُ

The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ is reported to have said:

"When the servant (of Allāh) stands to offer salāh, all of his sins are placed on his head and shoulders. Whenever he bows or prostrates, they fall off from him."
