Tranquility of the Heart

those who have believed and whose hearts are assured by the remembrance of allah. unquestionably, by the remembrance of allah hearts are assured."

narrated abu musa:the prophet (ﷺ) said, "the example of the one who celebrates the praises of his lord (allah) in comparison to the one who does not celebrate the praises of his lord, is that of a living creature compared to a dead one

ibn 'umar narrated that the messenger of allah (s.a.w) said:"do not talk too much without remembrance of allah. indeed excessive talking without remembrance of allah hardens the heart. and indeed the furthest of people from allah is the harsh-hearted

malik said, "someone who has a nosebleed on the day of jumua while the imam is giving the khutba and he leaves and does not come back until the imam has finished the prayer, should pray four rakas.'' malik said that someone who prayed a raka with the imam on the day of jumua, then had a nosebleed and left and came back and the imam had prayed both rakas, should complete the prayer with another raka as long as he had not spoken. malik said, "if some one has a nosebleed, or something happens to him and he has no alternative but to leave, he does not have to ask permission of the imam if he wants to leave on the day of jumua." yahya related to me from malik that he had asked ibn shihab about the word of allah, the majestic, the mighty, "o you who accept, when the call is made for the prayer on the day of jumua, make haste to the remembrance of allah."(sura 62 ayat 9). ibn shihab said, ''umar ibn al-khattab used to recite, 'when the call is made for the prayer on the day of jumua, go to the remembrance of allah.' " malik said, "making haste in the book of allah is only deed and action. allah the blessed, the exalted, says 'and when he turns away, he acts in the land' (sura 2 ayat 205), and he, the exalted, said, 'and as for the one who comes to you acting with fear' (sura 80 ayat 8), and he said, 'then he turned his back, and acted' (sura 79 ayat 22),and he said, 'your deeds are diverse' " (sura 92 ayat 4). malik said, "thus making haste which allah mentions in his book is not running on the feet or exertion. it only means deed and actions

قال الحارث المحاسبى الرضا سكون القلب تحت جريان الحكم

من كلامه: " سكون القلب إلي غير المولي تعجيل عقوبة من الله في الدنيا ".

المكلف ((الرضا)) وهو سكون القلب وطمأنينته إلى قدم اختيار الله للعبد، أنه اختار له الأفضل فيرضى به.

for indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

indeed, with hardship [will be] ease.

if you do not aid the prophet - allah has already aided him when those who disbelieved had driven him out [of makkah] as one of two, when they were in the cave and he said to his companion, "do not grieve; indeed allah is with us." and allah sent down his tranquillity upon him and supported him with angels you did not see and made the word of those who disbelieved the lowest, while the word of allah - that is the highest. and allah is exalted in might and wise.

so do not weaken and do not grieve, and you will be superior if you are [true] believers.

narrated anas bin malik:the prophet (ﷺ) used to say, "o allah! i seek refuge with you from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men." (see hadith no)

anas b. malik said:i used to serve the prophet (ﷺ) and often hear him say: "o allah, i seek refuge in you from grief and anxiety, from the hardships of debt, and from being overpowered by men

it was narrated that anas bin malik said:"the prophet [saw] used to say: 'allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi wal hazani, wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wa dala'id-dain, wa ghalabatir-rijal (o allah, i seek refuge with you from worry, grief, laziness, miserliness, cowardice, difficult debt and being overpowered by men)

it was narrated that anas bin malik said:"the messenger of allah [saw] had supplications that he never omitted to recite. he used to say: 'allahumma inni a'udhu bika minal-hammi, wal-hazani, wal-'ajzi, wal-kasali, wal-bukhli, wal-jubni, wa ghalabatar-rijal (o allah, i seek refuge with you from worry, grief, incapacity, laziness, miserliness, cowardice and being overpowered by (other) men

Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA): The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) used to say, "O Allah! I seek refuge with You from worry and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from cowardice and miserliness, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by (other) men." (See Hadith No. 374)

Narrated Anas bin Malik (RA): The Prophet (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) said to Abu Talha, "Choose one of your boys to serve me." So Abu Talha took me (to serve the Prophet) by giving me a ride behind him (on his camel). So I used to serve Allah's Apostle (صلی اللہ علیہ وآلہ وسلم) whenever he stayed somewhere. I used to hear him saying, "O Allah! I seek refuge with you (Allah) from (worries) care and grief, from incapacity and laziness, from miserliness and cowardice, from being heavily in debt and from being overpowered by other men." I kept on serving him till he returned from (the battle of) Khaibar. He then brought Safiya, the daughter of Huyay whom he had got (from the booty). I saw him making a kind of cushion with a cloak or a garment for her. He then let her ride behind him. When we reached a place called As-Sahba', he prepared (a special meal called) Hais, and asked me to invite the men who (came and) ate, and that was the marriage banquet given on the consummation of his marriage to her. Then he proceeded till the mountain of Uhud appeared, whereupon he said, "This mountain loves us and we love it." When he approached Medina, he said, "O Allah! I make the land between its (i.e., Medina's) two mountains a sanctuary, as the prophet Abraham made Makkah a sanctuary. O Allah! Bless them (the people of Medina) in their Mudd and the Sa' (units of measuring)."

شفاء من سبعين داء أدناها الهم والغم والحزن» وفرق بين الغم والهم، بأن الغم يعرض منه السهر، والهم يعرض منه النوم.

حجر الجزع: هو حجر صلب له ألوان كثيرة. فمن حمله أورثه الهم والغم والحزن وأراه أحلاما رديئة ويعسر عليه قضاء الحوائج. وإن علق على صبي كثر بكاؤه وفزعه وسال لعابه وعظم نكده، ومن سقي منه مسحوقا قل نومه وثقل لسانه، وإن وضع بين جماعة حصلت بينهم فتنة وخصومة وعداوة، وليس فيه منفعة إلا أنه يسهل الولادة على الحامل.

and will provide for him from where he does not expect. and whoever relies upon allah - then he is sufficient for him. indeed, allah will accomplish his purpose. allah has already set for everything a [decreed] extent.

so by mercy from allah, [o muhammad], you were lenient with them. and if you had been rude [in speech] and harsh in heart, they would have disbanded from about you. so pardon them and ask forgiveness for them and consult them in the matter. and when you have decided, then rely upon allah. indeed, allah loves those who rely [upon him].

if allah should aid you, no one can overcome you; but if he should forsake you, who is there that can aid you after him? and upon allah let the believers rely.

anas bin malik narrated that the messenger of allah (ﷺ) said:“whoever says – that is: when he leaves his house – ‘in the name of allah, i place my trust in allah, there is no might or power except by allah (bismillāh, tawakkaltu `alallāh, lā ḥawla wa lā quwwata illā billāh)’ it will be said to him: ‘you have been sufficed and protected,’ and shaitan will become distant from him.”

umm salamah narrated that :when the prophet (ﷺ) would leave his house, he would say: “in the name of allah, i place my trust in allah. o allah! we seek refuge in you from slipping unintentionally or becoming misguided, or committing oppression or being oppressed, or acting ignorantly or being treated ignorantly (bismillāh, tawakkaltu `alallāh. allāhumma, innā na`ūdhu bika min an nazilla aw naḍilla, aw naẓlima aw nuẓlam, aw najhala aw yujhala alainā).”

narrated anas ibn malik: the prophet (ﷺ) said: when a man goes out of his house and says: "in the name of allah, i trust in allah; there is no might and no power but in allah," the following will be said to him at that time: "you are guided, defended and protected." the devils will go far from him and another devil will say: how can you deal with a man who has been guided, defended and protected?

no disaster strikes except by permission of allah. and whoever believes in allah - he will guide his heart. and allah is knowing of all things.

no disaster strikes upon the earth or among yourselves except that it is in a register before we bring it into being - indeed that, for allah, is easy -

in order that you not despair over what has eluded you and not exult [in pride] over what he has given you. and allah does not like everyone self-deluded and boastful -

ذكر أحكام مقام الرضا

الرضا بالقضاء

and seek help through patience and prayer, and indeed, it is difficult except for the humbly submissive [to allah]

indeed, i am allah. there is no deity except me, so worship me and establish prayer for my remembrance.

recite, [o muhammad], what has been revealed to you of the book and establish prayer. indeed, prayer prohibits immorality and wrongdoing, and the remembrance of allah is greater. and allah knows that which you do.

and [mention] the man of the fish, when he went off in anger and thought that we would not decree [anything] upon him. and he called out within the darknesses, "there is no deity except you; exalted are you. indeed, i have been of the wrongdoers."

so we responded to him and saved him from the distress. and thus do we save the believers.

and [mention] job, when he called to his lord, "indeed, adversity has touched me, and you are the most merciful of the merciful."

narrated ibn `abbas:the prophet (ﷺ) used to invoke allah at the time of distress, saying, "la ilaha illal-lahu al-`azim, al- halim, la ilaha illal-lahu rabbu-s-samawati wal-ard wa rabbu-l-arsh il-azim

ibn 'abbas reported that allah's apostle (ﷺ) used to supplicate during the time of trouble (in these words):" there is no god but allah, the great, the tolerant, there is no god but allah, the lord of the magnificent throne there is no god but allah, the lord of the heaven and the earth, the lord of the edifying throne

narrated ibn `abbas:allah's messenger (ﷺ) used to say at a time of distress, "la ilaha illal-lahu rabbul-l-'arsh il-'azim, la ilaha illallahu rabbu-s-samawati wa rabbu-l-ard, rabbu-l-'arsh-il-karim

1 ( باب دعاء الكرب )

and [remember] when your lord proclaimed, 'if you are grateful, i will surely increase you [in favor]; but if you deny, indeed, my punishment is severe.' "

so remember me; i will remember you. and be grateful to me and do not deny me.

narrated abu hurayrah: the prophet (ﷺ) said: he who does not thank the people is not thankful to allah

abu hurairah narrated that the messenger of allah said :"whoever is not grateful to the people, he is not grateful to allah

ومنها : أنه يبعثه على أعلى المقامات وهو مقام الشكر الذي هو خلاصة العبودية فإنه إذا حصل له مرجوه كان أدعى لشكره

and decree for us in this world [that which is] good and [also] in the hereafter; indeed, we have turned back to you." [allah] said, "my punishment - i afflict with it whom i will, but my mercy encompasses all things." so i will decree it [especially] for those who fear me and give zakah and those who believe in our verses -

say, "o my servants who have transgressed against themselves [by sinning], do not despair of the mercy of allah. indeed, allah forgives all sins. indeed, it is he who is the forgiving, the merciful."

the forgiver of sin, acceptor of repentance, severe in punishment, owner of abundance. there is no deity except him; to him is the destination.

jabir b. 'abdullah al-ansari reported:i heard allah's messenger (ﷺ) say three days before his death: none of you should die but hoping only good from allah, the exalted and glorious

narrated abu huraira:allah's messenger (ﷺ) said, "allah said, 'i am to my slave as he thinks of me, (i.e. i am able to do for him what he thinks i can do for him). (see hadith no)

abu huraira reported allah's messenger (may peace be upon him as saying that allah thus stated:i live in the thought of my servant as he thinks of me and with him as he calls me)

والمراد الحث على حسن الظن بالله في نفسه، وتغليب الرجاء على الخوف، والظن هنا بمعنى اليقين والاعتقاد، لا بمعنى الشدة.

• (أن حسن الظن بالله من حسن عبادة الله) أي حسن الظن به بأن يظن أن الله تعالى يرحمه ويعفو عنه من جملة حسن عبادته فهو محبوب مطلوب لكن مع ملاحظة الخوف فيكون باعث الرجاء والخوف في قرن هذا في الصحيح أما المريض فالأولى في حقه تغليب الرجاء (حم ت ك) عن أبي هريرة قال الشيخ حديث صحيح

know that the life of this world is but amusement and diversion and adornment and boasting to one another and competition in increase of wealth and children - like the example of a rain whose [resulting] plant growth pleases the tillers; then it dries and you see it turned yellow; then it becomes [scattered] debris. and in the hereafter is severe punishment and forgiveness from allah and approval. and what is the worldly life except the enjoyment of delusion.

but you prefer the worldly life,

while the hereafter is better and more enduring.

it was narrated that ibn ‘umar said:“the messenger of allah (ﷺ) took hold of some part of my body and said: ‘o ‘abdullah, be in this world like a stranger, or one who is passing through, and consider yourself as one of the people of the graves.’”

on the authority of abdullah ibn umar (may allah be pleased with him), who said: the messenger of allah (peace and blessings of allah be upon him) took me by the shoulder and said, “be in this world as though you were a stranger or a wayfarer.” and ibn umar (may allah be pleased with him) used to say, “in the evening do not expect [to live until] the morning, and in the morning do not expect [to live until] the evening. take [advantage of] your health before times of sickness, and [take advantage of] your life before your death.” [al-bukhari]

narrated mujahid:`abdullah bin `umar said, "allah's messenger (ﷺ) took hold of my shoulder and said, 'be in this world as if you were a stranger or a traveler." the sub-narrator added: ibn `umar used to say, "if you survive till the evening, do not expect to be alive in the morning, and if you survive till the morning, do not expect to be alive in the evening, and take from your health for your sickness, and (take) from your life for your death

وقال سفيان الثورى : الزهد في الدنيا قصر الأمل ليس بأكل الغليظ ولا لبس العباء

وقال سفيان الثورى : الزهد في الدنيا قصر الأمل ليس بأكل الغليظ ولا لبس العباء

[to the righteous it will be said], "o reassured soul,

return to your lord, well-pleased and pleasing [to him],

it is he who sent down tranquillity into the hearts of the believers that they would increase in faith along with their [present] faith. and to allah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth, and ever is allah knowing and wise.

narrated al-bara:on the day (of the battle) of al-ahzab (i.e. clans) i saw the prophet (ﷺ) carrying earth, and the earth was covering the whiteness of his `abdomen. and he was saying, "without you (o allah!) we would have got no guidance, nor given in charity, nor prayed. so please bless us with tranquility and make firm our feet when we meet our enemies. indeed (these) people have rebelled against (oppressed) us but never shall we yield if they try to bring affliction upon us
