Kathir ibn Qays said: I was sitting with AbudDarda' in the mosque of Damascus.

A man came to him and said: AbudDarda, I have come to you from the town of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) for a tradition that I have heard you relate from the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ). I have come for no other purpose.

He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: If anyone travels on a road in search of knowledge, Allah will cause him to travel on one of the roads of Paradise. The angels will lower their wings in their great pleasure with one who seeks knowledge, the inhabitants of the heavens and the Earth and the fish in the deep waters will ask forgiveness for the learned man. The superiority of the learned man over the devout is like that of the moon, on the night when it is full, over the rest of the stars. The learned are the heirs of the Prophets, and the Prophets leave neither dinar nor dirham, leaving only knowledge, and he who takes it takes an abundant portion.

جمعة مباركة 🌿

🌸To all those who complain about the lack of times to memorize the Qur’an, or to recite it, to master knowledge, to focus on a project, and to succeed in life. Invest the times that go away from you in browsing the mobile, and I promise you successes that go by example in the future of days.🌸
——
" Mishaal Al-Falahi"

“If you want to do a great favor for your son, he will continue to benefit from it as long as he remains.. the greatest thing you can offer him when he is young is to humiliate him the way to memorize the Qur’an and relate to it as much as possible. And he will rejoice in him after his death!"

THE TRUE RICHNESS

✳️ No matter how much money a person earns, in reality he only utilizes a very small fraction of it. Ponder over the wise reminder from the Prophet, may the mercy and blessings of God be upon him. Abdullah ibn al-Shakhir reported, “I entered upon the Prophet and he was reciting ‘Alhakum al-takathur’:
“Competition in [worldly] increase diverts you.”
(Quran 102:1)
He said,
‘The son of Adam would say:
‘My money! My money!’ But do you have, O son of Adam, anything of your money, except that which you ate, and it was put to waste, or that which you wore, till it wore out, or that which you gave in charity, so you have sent it forth (to get its rewards in the Hereafter)?’”
(Saheeh Muslim)
✴️In this hadith, the Prophet reminded us that, in reality, all of our money is utilized in only three ways. Firstly, the food that we eat, and this eventually is transformed into waste. Secondly, the clothes that we wear, and this eventually wears out such that it is unusable. Thirdly, the money that has been given out for the sake of God, and this is the only part whose benefit remains and returns to us. So of what benefit is it for a person to gloat over ‘his money’, and boast about it, and be eager for it, when in reality so little of it is actually spent in such a way as to provide eternal benefit?
Because of these factors, the Prophet Muhammad reminded mankind that wealth is not proportionate to the amount of material possessions a person owns. True wealth is to be content with what one has, and then to use it to strive for the everlasting reward of the Hereafter. The Prophet said,
“Richness is not in the quantity of possessions (that one has); rather, true richness is the richness of one’s self (or contentment).”
(Saheeh Al-Bukhari)
✴️He also stated,
“That which is little yet sufficient is better than that which is much but distracts.”[1]
And in a third hadith,
“He is indeed successful who has been guided to Islam, and his sustenance was sufficient for him, and he was content with it.”
(Saheeh Muslim)
Lastly,
“The best sustenance that you are given is that which is sufficient.”[2]
✴️From this, we can clearly see that true success and wealth is found in the peace and satisfaction which results from sincerity in faith and practice. The contentment of the heart is what makes a person realize and appreciate this true richness.
