[ذم الكلام 237]

Fudhayl bin 'Iyādh (may Allāh have mercy on him) said,

“The good life is Islām and the Sunnah.”

[Dhamm al-Kalām 237]

𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐁𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐜𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐞𝐬

On the authority of Ibn Umar who narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: “𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐛𝐞𝐧𝐞𝐟𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐝𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐝 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐡 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐧𝐨𝐭, 𝐭𝐡𝐮𝐬 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐦𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐮𝐩𝐨𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮, 𝐎’𝐬𝐞𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐀𝐥𝐥𝐚𝐡, 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐞.”

أعوذ بالله من الشيطان الرجيم
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
وَمَاۤ اٰتٰٮكُمُ الرَّسُوۡلُ فَخُذُوْهُ وَمَا نَهٰٮكُمۡ عَنۡهُ فَانْتَهُوۡا‌
"And whatever the Messenger has given you - take it ; and what he has forbidden you - refrain from it."
[Surah Al-Hashr 59 :07]

The greatest affair through which one aids the Prophet ﷺ is by practicing his sunnah, following his guidance, holding firmly to his Aqeedah (creed), and refraining from that which he prohibited.
As for those who scream and slander him, then it’s an ongoing chain. They were preceded by the polytheists of Quraysh and the hypocrites.
And with every assault and slander, Islam spreads, and to Allah is all praise and thanks.

Deeds Which Are Equal To The Reward Of Hajj

Abu Umamah narrated that the Messenger of Allaah [ﷺ] said:

«مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنْ بَيْتِهِ مُتَطَهِّرًا إِلَى صَلَاةٍ مَكْتُوبَةٍ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْحَاجِّ الْمُحْرِمِ، وَمَنْ خَرَجَ إِلَى تَسْبِيحِ الضُّحَى لَا يَنْصِبُهُ إِلَّا إِيَّاهُ فَأَجْرُهُ كَأَجْرِ الْمُعْتَمِرِ، وَصَلَاةٌ عَلَى أَثَرِ صَلَاةٍ لَا لَغْوَ بَيْنَهُمَا كِتَابٌ فِي عِلِّيِّينَ.‏»

❝Whoever leaves his home having Wudu going to pray the obligatory prayer then his reward is equal to the person performing Hajj whilst in the state of Ihram.

Whoever goes out to pray the Dhuha prayer in the Masjid nothing tires him out except that then his reward is that of a person performing Umrah.

Praying a prayer after another prayer where no falsehood takes place between them then that is written in the Book of good deeds.❞

[Collected By Abu Dawood | Sh. Al-Albānī Graded: 'Hasan' In Saheeh Targheeb, (No. 320) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

-

The Scholar of Hadeeth, Shaykh AbdulMuhsin Al-Abbad [حفظه الله] commented:

❝This means, that whoever performed Wudu and went out to the Masjid wanting to perform a prayer from the obligatory prayers, which Allaah has obligated upon him, which are the five prayers. For this, his reward is like the reward of a person in the state of Ihraam performing the Hajj who wears the clothing of Hajj.

This means, that Allaah [تعالى] rewards the similar to a person in the state of Ihraam Performing the Hajj.

One person went out to perform an obligatory prayer and the person in the state of Ihraam went out to perform a great worship, so the reward of that person is similar to the reward of this person. Allaah’s virtue is vast.❞

[Sharh Sunnan Abi Dawood Hadeeth, (No. 558) | Translated By Abbas Abu Yahya Miraath Al-Anbiyya]

when disagreement arises, believers are obliged to turn to the Quran and the Sunnah, Islam`s two fundamental reference points:

If you disagree about something, refer it back to Allah and the Messenger, if you believe in Allah and the Last Day. That is the best thing to do and gives the best result. (Surat an-Nisa`: 59)

📖 Chapter: The digging of wells on the ways

باب الآبَارِ عَلَى الطُّرُقِ إِذَا لَمْ يُتَأَذَّ بِهَا

📗 Sahih al-Bukhari 2466

Narrated Abu Huraira:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said,

"A man felt very thirsty while he was on the way, there he came across a well.

He went down the well, quenched his thirst and came out.

Meanwhile he saw a dog panting and licking mud because of excessive thirst.

He said to himself, "This dog is suffering from thirst as I did."

So, he went down the well again and filled his shoe with water and watered it.

Allah thanked him for that deed and forgave him.

The people said, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! Is there a reward for us in serving the animals?"

He replied: "Yes, there is a reward for serving any animate (living being)." (See Hadith No. 551)
