Gardens Of Knowledge

Sufyān ath-Thawrī raḥimahu’Allāh was seen in a dream in Jannah, flying from one palm tree to another. It was said to him: “What was done with you?” He replied: “I am with the noble and righteous scribes (the honored angels).” And it was said to him: “Which deeds did you find to be the best?” He said: “The Qur’an.” [Siyar Aʿlām an-Nubalāʾ, 7/279]

Allah makes the deed of the sincere person apparent. Ibrahim al-Nakha’i (may Allah have mercy on him) said: “If a servant were to conceal his worship as he conceals wickedness, Allah would surely make that apparent from him.” [Mūsanaf of Ibn Abee Shaibah 20/16]

‎Imām Muhammad Ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahu’Allah) said: ‎Abu Qatadah al-Harith ibn Rib‘i al-Ansari al-Khazraji, may Allah be pleased with him, witnessed the Battle of Uhud and what came after it. He used to be called the horseman (cavalier) of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. ‎He supported the Prophet ﷺ on one of his journeys when he leaned on his riding mount due to sleep. When he awoke, he said to him: ‎“May Allah preserve you as you preserved His Prophet.” ‎He died in the year 54 AH in Medina. ‎[Tanbih al-Afhām Sharh Umdat al-Ahkām 1/45] ‎ https://x.com/yassinyd/status/2061553927431065722?s=46

Imam al-Albanī rahimahu’Allah said : “We do not know of any authentic hadith showing that the Prophet ﷺ consistently observed any of the regular Sunnah prayers (rawātib) while traveling except for the Sunnah prayer of Fajr and the Witr prayer. And Allah knows best.” [Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Da’ifah 3/352]

Ibn Abbas and Anas ibn Malik may Allah be pleased with them both said: “Indeed, for a good deed there is a light in the heart, beauty on the face, strength in the body, expansiveness in provision, and love in the hearts of creation. And indeed, for a sin there is darkness in the heart, ugliness on the face, weakness in the body, decrease in provision, and hatred in the hearts of creation.” [Rawdat al-Muhibbin.]

Mujahid rahimahu’Allah narrated from Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: “If you wish to mention the faults of your companion, then mention your own faults.” [Al-Zuhd of Imam Ahmad 1063]

Al-Hāfidh Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (rahimahullāh) said: “As for the voluntary acts of worship during the ten days of Dhul-Hijjah, they are more virtuous than those performed during the last ten nights of Ramadan. Similarly, the obligatory deeds in Dhul-Hijjah are multiplied more than those performed at other times.” [Fath al-Bārī (16/9]

‎Imām Muhammad Ibn Salih al-Uthaymeen (rahimahu’Allah) said: ‎“Abu Hurairah is Abd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī. He accepted Islam in the year of Khaybar, and witnessed it, and he kept close company with the Prophet ﷺ and gave care to his hadith. The Prophet ﷺ testified for him regarding his eagerness for hadith. ‎And Abdullah ibn Umar said to him: ‎‘You were the one among us who stayed closest to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and the most knowledgeable among us concerning his hadith.’ ‎And something similar was narrated from Umar ibn al-Khattab. ‎And al-Bukhari (rahimahullāh) said: ‎‘Abu Hurairah was the strongest in memorization among those who narrated hadith in his era.’ ‎The scholars mentioned that he narrated from the Prophet ﷺ (5,374) hadiths. ‎He died in the year fifty seven in Madinah, may Allah be pleased with him.” ‎[Tanbīh al Afhām Sharḥ Umdat al Aḥkām, 1/11.] ‎

al-Hāfidh ibn Hajr rahimahullāh said: ‘A person, if he sees his companion distressed, it is recommended for him to speak to him with that which removes his worry and makes his soul feel good; due to the statement of Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him: “I will surely say something that makes the Prophet ﷺ laugh.”’ [Fatḥ al-Bārī 9/363]
