26. Chapter of Wāw (Male)
٢٦۔ بَابُ الْوَاوِ
[Machine] The son of Rayyan passed away and Wasila witnessed it. After they left the cemetery, Wasila sat by the gate of Damascus. Rayyan passed by him and Wasila said to him, "O Abu Sa'id, may Allah alleviate your calamity and forgive your deceased." He replied, "Indeed, I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Whoever buries three children, Allah will make Paradise forbidden for him.'"
تُوُفِّيَ وَلَدُ الرَّيَّانِ وَشَهِدَهُ وَاثِلَةُ فَلَمَّا انْصَرَفُوا مِنَ الْمَقْبَرَةِ قَعَدَ وَاثِلَةُ عَلَى بَابِ دِمَشْقَ فَمَرَّ بِهِ الرَّيَّانُ فَقَالَ لَهُ وَاثِلَةُ يَا أَبَا سَعِيدٍ جَبَرَ اللهُ مُصِيبَتَكَ وَغَفَرَ لِمُتَوَّفَاكَ قَالَ إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ دَفَنَ ثَلَاثَةً مِنَ الْوَلَدِ حَرَّمَ اللهُ عَلَيْهِ النَّارَ»
[Machine] My father used to sit facing the qibla and wouldn't speak until the sun rose after he prayed Fajr. Sometimes I would speak to him about a need, but he wouldn't respond. So, I asked him, "What is this?" He said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'Whoever prays Fajr and then recites 'Say: He is Allah, the One' one hundred times before speaking, every time he recites it, one year's worth of sins will be forgiven for him.'"
كَانَ أَبِي إِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ جَلَسَ مُسْتَقْبِلَ الْقِبْلَةِ لَا يَتَكَلَّمُ حَتَّى تَطْلُعَ الشَّمْسُ فَرُبَّمَا كَلَّمْتُهُ فِي الْحَاجَةِ فَلَا يُكَلِّمُنِي فَقُلْتُ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَنْ صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ ثُمَّ قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ مِائَةَ مَرَّةً قَبْلَ أَنْ يَتَكَلَّمَ فَكُلَّمَا قَرَأَ قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أَحَدٌ غُفِرَ لَهُ ذَنْبُ سَنَةٍ»
[Machine] He used to fast on Mondays and Thursdays and he would say that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to fast them and he would say, "Deeds are presented to Allah on these days, so I love that my deeds are presented while I am fasting."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ يَصُومُ الِاثْنَيْنِ وَالْخَمِيسَ وَيَقُولُ كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَصُومُهُمَا وَيَقُولُ «تُعْرَضُ فِيهِمَا الْأَعْمَالُ عَلَى اللهِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى»
