INFORMING SOMEONE OF HIS MISTAKE IN SECRET IS A SIGN OF SINCERE ADVICE ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The righteous predecessors used to despise commanding good deeds and forbidding wrongdoings publicly as they cared to do so in secret as they wished no one to know of it other than the one they advised. For indeed informing someone of his mistake in secret is a sign of sincere advice because the advisor does not seek to expose or reveal the faults of the one he advises, rather he only aims to remove a harm in which the one he advises has fallen into.

Spend On Your Families  ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Sālih Al-‘Uthaymīn رحمه الله said:   "A person is obligated to spend upon his family - upon his wife and children, in a reasonable manner, even if the wife is rich.

The Bitterness Of Good Deeds Al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr said: ❝Some of the Salaf were asked about the reason why it was that good deeds were burdensome to do and it was easy to carry out evil actions. They said: 'This is because the bitterness of good deeds is present and its sweetness is absent so it is burdensome, so do not let its burden cause you to leave doing good deeds. As for evil deeds then its sweetness is present and its burden is absent and that is why it is easy to do them. So do not let its ease cause you to commit them.'❞ [Fath Al-Bari, (13/614) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya] ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

🐚 *Treat Your Wife Well* Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Sālih Al-'Uthaymīn رحمه الله said: “Know that when you deal and interact with your wife then it is mandatory that you think of a scenario where a man is the husband of your daughter. How does he treat her? Would you be pleased for him to treat her with harshness and sternness? The answer is no. Therefore, do not be content with treating the daughter of another person in a fashion that you would not be pleased for your daughter to be treated. This principle should be known by all people.” [Ash-Sharh Al-Mumti', 12/381. Translated By Hasan As-Somāli] ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

ORDERING THE CHILD WITH THE SALĀH REQUIRES PATIENCE ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Ordering the child with the Salāh requires patience and endurance, so do not become annoyed or weary, rather, strive against yourself in this matter. Some fathers will perhaps order their children with the Salāh once, twice, thrice and then he sees that his son is lazy regarding it so he leaves him completely; while others (and refuge is sought with Allāh from this) have reached the level where they would say: "May Allāh make it so that you do not pray!" They supplicate against their children, and this is from the gravest of mistakes. Instead, one must be patient and not supplicate against his child.

Advising And Mistakes ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ The Senior Scholar Rabee Bin Hadi Al-Madkhali [حفظه الله] said: ‏«وإذا أخطأ أخوك فانصحه باللين وقدم له الحجة والبرهان ينفعه الله بذلك أما أن تجلس وتتربص أن يخطئ فلان وتقوم تشنع هنا وهناك أن فلاناً فعل كذا وكذا، فهذه طرق الشياطين وليست طرق أهل الحق.» ❝If your brother makes a mistake, advise him with gentleness and present him proofs and evidences through which Allaah will benefit him. As for sitting waiting in ambush for someone to make a mistake and to rouse up hatred here and there that so-and-so did such-and-such. These are the ways of the Shayateen not the way of the people of the truth.❞ [Bahjatul Qaaree, (Page: 107) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath al-Anbiyya] ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth

*Being Patient In Marriage*  ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ ✒️ Al-Miqdām Ibn Ma'dī Karib رضي الله عنه stated that the Prophet ﷺ stood before the people, praised Allāh, and said, "Allāh commands you to treat women well. Allāh commands you to treat women well, for they are your mothers, your daughters, and your maternal aunts. Indeed, a man from the People of the Book marries a woman without any thread in her hands (young and poor), yet neither desires to separate from the other until they die in old age."   [Al-Mu'jam Al-Kabīr, 648/374/20]   ✒️In Al-Nihāyah, Al-Harbī رحمه الله said:   "This is due to her youth and lack of gentleness, yet he remains patient with her until they die in old age. The intent of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was to encourage his Companions to treat women well and to be patient with them, as the People of the Book would do this with their women."   ✒️Shaykh Muhammad Nāsir Ad-Dīn Al-Albānī رحمه الله said:   "The Prophet's ﷺ statement - A woman without any thread in her hands - refers to her youth and poverty. I say, this was at a time where they had morality and piety - even with an altered religion. As for today, they forbid divorce - which Allāh allows - while permitting fornication, even open homosexuality."   [As-Sahīhah, 2861.

Suddenly I felt somebody taking hold of my shoulder and found out that he was Ali ibn Abi Taalib, رضي الله عنه. Ali invoked Allaah's mercy for Umar, رضي الله عنه, and said, "O Umar! You have not left behind you a person whose deeds I like to imitate and meet Allah with more than I like your deeds. By Allah! I always thought that Allah would keep you with your two companions, for very often I used to hear the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, 'I, Abu Bakr and Umar went (somewhere); I, Abu Bakr and Umar entered (somewhere); and I, Abu Bakr and Umar went out."' حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي مُلَيْكَةَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، يَقُولُ وُضِعَ عُمَرُ عَلَى سَرِيرِهِ، فَتَكَنَّفَهُ النَّاسُ يَدْعُونَ وَيُصَلُّونَ قَبْلَ أَنْ يُرْفَعَ، وَأَنَا فِيهِمْ، فَلَمْ يَرُعْنِي إِلاَّ رَجُلٌ آخِذٌ مَنْكِبِي، فَإِذَا عَلِيٌّ فَتَرَحَّمَ عَلَى عُمَرَ، وَقَالَ مَا خَلَّفْتَ أَحَدًا أَحَبَّ إِلَىَّ أَنْ أَلْقَى اللَّهَ بِمِثْلِ عَمَلِهِ مِنْكَ، وَايْمُ اللَّهِ، إِنْ كُنْتُ لأَظُنُّ أَنْ يَجْعَلَكَ اللَّهُ مَعَ صَاحِبَيْكَ، وَحَسِبْتُ أَنِّي كُنْتُ كَثِيرًا أَسْمَعُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ذَهَبْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، وَدَخَلْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ، وَخَرَجْتُ أَنَا وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرُ‏.‏ صحيح البخاري (٣٦٧٧)، صحيح مسلم (٢٣٨٩)، مسند أحمد (٨٩٨)، سنن ابن ماجه (٩٨) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ https://t.me/thebeginningoftruth
