٧۔ كِتَابُ الرَّقَائِقِ ص ٢
ذِكْرُ تَمْثِيلِ الْمُصْطَفَى الْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ جَلَّ وَعَلَا فِيهِ، وَالْمَوْضِعَ الَّذِي لَا يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ
The house in which remembrance of Allah is made and the house in which Allah is not remembered are like the living and the dead. (Using translation from Muslim 779)
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «مَثَلُ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ وَالْبَيْتِ الَّذِي لَا يُذْكَرُ اللَّهُ فِيهِ مَثَلُ الْحَيِّ وَالْمَيِّتِ»
ذِكْرُ حُفُوفِ الْمَلَائِكَةِ بِالْقَوْمِ يَجْتَمِعُونَ عَلَى ذِكْرِ اللَّهِ مَعَ نُزُولِ السَّكِينَةِ عَلَيْهِمْ
He bears witness, from Abu Hurairah and Abu Sa’eed Al-Khudri, that they bear witness, from the Messenger of Allah, that he said: “There is no group that remembers Allah, except that the angels encompass them, mercy covers them, and tranquility descends upon them: and Allah remembers (mentions) them before those who are with Him.” (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3378)
أَشْهَدُ عَلَى أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّهُمَا شَهِدَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ «مَا جَلَسَ قَوْمٌ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ إِلَّا حَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلَائِكَةُ وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ وَنَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ»
ذِكْرُ إِثْبَاتِ مَغْفِرَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا لِلْقَوْمِ الَّذِينَ يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ مَعَ سُؤَالِهِمْ إِيَّاهُ الْجَنَّةَ وَتَعَوُّذِهِمْ بِهِ مِنَ النَّارِ نَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهَا
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, Allah has angels who roam the roads, seeking gatherings where Allah's remembrance is mentioned. When they find people remembering Allah, they call out to each other, 'Come to what you seek.' Then, they cover them with their wings until they reach the heavens. Their Lord – glorified and exalted – asks them, though He is the best aware of them, 'What are My servants saying?' They reply, 'They are glorifying and praising You.' He then asks, 'Have they seen Me?' They say, 'No.' He asks, 'How would it be if they saw Me?' They reply, 'If they saw You, they would have been even more devoted to glorifying You and extolling Your greatness.' He then asks, 'What do they ask of Me?' They say, 'They ask You for Paradise.' He asks, 'Have they seen it?' They say, 'No.' He asks, 'How would it be if they saw it?' They reply, 'If they saw it, they would have been more eager and zealous in seeking it.' He then asks, 'From what do they seek refuge?' They say, 'They seek refuge in You from the Fire.' He asks, 'Have they seen it?' They say, 'No.' He asks, 'How would it be if they saw it?' They reply, 'If they saw it, they would have been more earnest in seeking refuge from it.' Then Allah says, 'I bear witness that I have forgiven them.'"
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً فُضُلًا عَنْ كُتَّابِ النَّاسِ يَمْشُونَ فِي الطُّرُقِ يَلْتَمِسُونَ الذِّكْرَ فَإِذَا رَأَوْا أَقْوَامًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى تَنَادَوْا هَلُمُّوا إِلَى حَاجَاتِكُمْ فَيَحُفُّونَ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ جَلَّ وَعَلَا وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ بِهِمْ فَيَقُولُ عِبَادِي مَا يَقُولُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ يَا رَبِّ يُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوْ رَأَوْكَ لَكَانُوا أَشَدَّ تَسْبِيحًا وَتَمْجِيدًا وَتَكْبِيرًا وَتَحْمِيدًا فَيَقُولُ مَاذَا يَسْأَلُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ يَا رَبِّ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ لَهُمْ هَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوْ قَدْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ طَلَبًا وَأَشَدَّ حِرْصًا فَيَقُولُ فَمِمَّ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ بِكَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ فَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا فَيَقُولُ كَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوْ قَدْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا أَشَدَّ تَعَوُّذًا فَيَقُولُ فَإِنِّي أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ»
ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ مَنْ جَالَسَ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ يُسْعِدُهُ اللَّهُ بِمُجَالَسَتِهِ إِيَّاهُمْ
[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Verily, Allah has angels who go around in the streets, seeking out the people of remembrance. When they find a group remembering Allah, they call out to one another, 'Come to what you desire!' and they encompass them with their wings until they reach the lowest heaven. Then their Lord asks them, while He is more knowledgeable about them than they are about themselves, 'What are My servants saying?' They reply, 'They are glorifying You, magnifying You, praising You, and extolling You.' He then asks, 'Have they seen Me?' They reply, 'No.' He says, 'How would they react if they were to see Me?' They reply, 'If they were to see You, they would worship You even more ardently, glorify You more, magnify You more, and praise You more.' He asks, 'What do they seek from Me?' They reply, 'They ask You for Paradise.' He asks, 'Have they seen it?' They reply, 'No, O Lord.' He says, 'How would they react if they were to see it?' They reply, 'If they were to see it, they would have even greater desire for it, and they would seek it even more fervently.' He asks, 'What do they seek refuge from?' They reply, 'They seek refuge with You from the Hellfire.' He asks, 'Have they seen it?' They reply, 'No, O Lord.' He says, 'How would they react if they were to see it?' They reply, 'If they were to see it, they would fear it even more and flee from it even more desperately.' Allah then says to His angels, 'Bear witness that I have forgiven them.' A angel among the angels says, 'But there is a person among them who did not come for any specific need, rather he just happened to be there.' Allah replies, 'They are a group whose company will not cause anyone to be unhappy.'"
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ لِلَّهِ مَلَائِكَةً فُضُلًا عَنْ كُتَّابِ النَّاسِ يَطُوفُونَ فِي الطُّرُقِ يَلْتَمِسُونَ أَهْلَ الذِّكْرِ فَإِذَا وَجَدُوا قَوْمًا يَذْكُرُونَ اللَّهَ تَنَادَوْا هَلُمُّوا إِلَى حَاجَتِكُمْ فَيَحُفُّونَ بِهِمْ بِأَجْنِحَتِهِمْ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ الدُّنْيَا فَيَسْأَلُهُمْ رَبُّهُمْ وَهُوَ أَعْلَمُ مِنْهُمْ فَيَقُولُ مَا يَقُولُ عِبَادِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ يُكَبِّرُونَكَ وَيُمَجِّدُونَكَ وَيُسَبِّحُونَكَ وَيَحْمَدُونَكَ فَيَقُولُ هَلْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا فَيَقُولُ فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْنِي؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوْ رَأَوْكَ لَكَانُوا لَكَ أَشَدَّ عِبَادَةً وَأَكْثَرَ تَسْبِيحًا وَتَحْمِيدًا وَتَمْجِيدًا فَيَقُولُ وَمَا يَسْأَلُونِي؟ قَالَ فَيَقُولُونَ يَسْأَلُونَكَ الْجَنَّةَ فَيَقُولُ فَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا كَانُوا عَلَيْهَا أَشَدَّ حِرْصًا وَأَشَدَّ طَلَبًا وَأَعْظَمَ فِيهَا رَغْبَةً فَيَقُولُ وَمِمَّ يَتَعَوَّذُونَ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ مِنَ النَّارِ فَيَقُولُ وَهَلْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَا وَاللَّهِ يَا رَبِّ فَيَقُولُ فَكَيْفَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا؟ فَيَقُولُونَ لَوْ رَأَوْهَا لَكَانُوا مِنْهَا أَشَدَّ فِرَارًا وَأَشَدَّ هَرَبًا وَأَشَدَّ خَوْفًا فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ لِمَلَائِكَتِهِ أُشْهِدُكُمْ أَنِّي قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَهُمْ قَالَ فَقَالَ مَلَكٌ مِنَ الْمَلَائِكَةِ إِنَّ فِيهِمْ فُلَانًا لَيْسَ مِنْهُمْ إِنَّمَا جَاءَ لِحَاجَةٍ قَالَ فَهُمُ الْجُلَسَاءُ لَا يَشْقَى جَلِيسُهُمْ»
ذِكْرُ سِبَاقِ الذَّاكِرِينَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ أَهْلَ الطَّاعَاتِ إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ
Proceed on, it is Jumdan, Mufarradun have gone ahead. They (the Companions of the Holy Prophet) said: Messenger of Allah, who are Mufarradun? He said: They are those males and females who remember Allah much. (Using translation from Muslim 2676)
كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَسِيرُ فِي طَرِيقِ مَكَّةَ فَمَرَّ عَلَى جَبَلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ جُمْدَانَ فَقَالَ «سِيرُوا هَذَا جُمْدَانُ سَبَقَ الْمُفَرِّدُونَ سَبَقَ الْمُفَرِّدُونَ» قَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْمُفَرِّدُونَ؟ قَالَ «الذَّاكِرُونَ اللَّهَ كَثِيرًا وَالذَّاكِرَاتُ»
ذِكْرُ مَغْفِرَةِ اللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مَا قُدِّمَ مِنْ ذُنُوبِ الْعَبْدِ بِقَوْلِهِ: سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ، بِعَدَدٍ مَعْلُومٍ عِنْدَ الصَّبَّاحِ وَالْمَسَاءِ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Whoever says, 'Subhan Allah wa bihamdihi' (Glory be to Allah and praise be to Him) one hundred times in the morning and evening, his sins will be forgiven, even if they are more than the foam of the sea."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَإِذَا أَمْسَى مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ غُفِرَتْ ذُنُوبُهُ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ زَبَدِ الْبَحْرِ»
ذِكْرُ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي إِذَا قَالَهُ الْإِنْسَانُ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ لَمْ يُوَافِ فِي الْقِيَامَةِ أَحَدٌ بِمِثْلِ مَا وَافَى
if anyone says a hundred times in the morning: “Glory be to Allah, the Sublime, and I begin with praise of him”, and says likewise in the evening, no one from the creatures will bring anything like the one which he will bring. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5091)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ سُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ الْعَظِيمِ وَبِحَمْدِهِ مِائَةَ مَرَّةٍ وَإِذَا أَمْسَى كَذَلِكَ لَمْ يُوَافِ أَحَدٌ مِنَ الْخَلَائِقِ بِمِثْلِ مَا وَافَى»
ذِكْرُ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي إِذَا، قَالَهُ الْمَرْءُ عِنْدَ الصَّبَاحِ كَانَ مُؤَدِّيًا لِشُكْرِ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ
The Prophet ﷺ said: If anyone says in the morning: "O Allah! whatever favour has come to me, it comes from Thee alone Who has no partner; to Thee praise is due and thanksgiving,'! he will have expressed full thanksgiving for the day; and if anyone says the same in the evening, he will have expressed full thanksgiving for the night. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5073)
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ اللَّهُمَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ بِي مِنْ نِعْمَةٍ أَوْ بِأَحَدٍ مِنْ خَلْقِكَ فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لَا شَرِيكَ لَكَ فَلَكَ الْحَمْدُ وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ فَقَدْ أَدَّى شُكْرَ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ»
ذِكْرُ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي يَحْتَرِزُ الْمَرْءُ بِهِ مِنْ فَاجِئَةِ الْبَلَاءِ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ الصَّبَّاحِ، وَحَتَّى يُصْبِحَ إِذَا قَالَ ذَلِكَ عِنْدَ الْمَسَاءِ
ʿWhoever says, ʿIn the Name of Allah with Whose name nothing on earth or in heaven can cause harm, and he is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.ʿ three times, will not be struck unawares by calamity until night comes, and whoever says it in the evening will not be struck unawares by calamity until morning comes, in shaʿ Allah.” (Using translation from Aḥmad 528)
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَنْ قَالَ حِينَ يُصْبِحُ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ بِسْمِ اللَّهِ الَّذِي لَا يَضُرُّ مَعَ اسْمِهِ شَيْءٌ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلَا فِي السَّمَاءِ وَهُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ لَمْ تَفْجَأْهُ فَاجِئَةُ بَلَاءٍ حَتَّى يُمْسِيَ وَمَنْ قَالَهَا حِينَ يُمْسِي لَمْ تَفْجَأْهُ فَاجِئَةُ بَلَاءٍ حَتَّى يُصْبِحَ»
ذِكْرُ إِيجَابِ الْجَنَّةِ لِمَنْ قَالَ: رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا، وَقَرَنَهُ بِرِضَاهُ بِالْإِسْلَامِ وَالنَّبِيِّ ﷺ
[Machine] The translation in English for the given text is: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever says 'I am pleased with Allah as my Lord, with Islam as my religion, and with Muhammad ﷺ as my Prophet, Paradise will be obligatory for him."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ « مَنْ قَالَ رَضِيتُ بِاللَّهِ رَبًّا وَبِالْإِسْلَامِ دِينًا وَبِمُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ نَبِيًّا وَجَبَتْ لَهُ الْجَنَّةُ»
ذِكْرُ الشَّيْءِ الَّذِي إِذَا قَالَهُ الْمَرْءُ عِنْدَ الْكَرْبِ يُرْتَجَى لَهُ زَوَالُهَا عَنْهُ
[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ gathered his household and said, "If any one of you experiences sadness or distress, let them say 'Allah, Allah, my Lord, I do not associate anything with Him.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ جَمَعَ أَهْلَ بَيْتِهِ فَقَالَ «إِذَا أَصَابَ أَحَدَكُمْ غَمٌّ أَوْ كَرْبٌ فَلْيَقُلِ اللَّهُ اللَّهُ رَبِّي لَا أُشْرِكُ بِهِ شَيْئًا»
ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالتَّهْلِيلِ وَالتَّسْبِيحِ لِلَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مَعَ التَّحْمِيدِ لِمَنْ أَصَابَتْهُ شِدَّةٌ أَوْ كَرْبٌ
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ taught me some words and told me to say them if some distress or hardship befell me: ʿThere is no god but Allah, the Most Generous, the Forbearing, glory be to Him, Blessed be Allah, Lord of the mighty Throne and praise be to Allah the lord of the Worlds. (Using translation from Aḥmad 726)
أَنَّهُ قَالَ لَقَّنَنِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ هَؤُلَاءِ الْكَلِمَاتِ وَأَمَرَنِي إِنْ أَصَابَنِي كَرْبٌ أَوْ شِدَّةٌ أَقُولُهُنَّ «لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ الْحَلِيمُ الْكَرِيمُ سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَرْشِ الْعَظِيمِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ رَبِّ الْعَالَمِينَ»
