One of the sons of Abu Talha became sick and died and Abu Talha at that time was not at home. When his wife saw that he was dead, she prepared him (washed and shrouded him) and placed him somewhere in the house. When Abu Talha came, he asked, "How is the boy?" She said, "The child is quiet and I hope he is in peace." Abu Talha thought that she had spoken the truth. Abu Talha passed the night and in the morning took a bath and when he intended to go out, she told him that his son had died, Abu Talha offered the (morning) prayer with the Prophet ﷺ and informed the Prophet ﷺ of what happened to them. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "May Allah bless you concerning your night. (That is, may Allah bless you with good offspring)." Sufyan said, "One of the Ansar said, 'They (i.e. Abu Talha and his wife) had nine sons and all of them became reciters of the Qur'an (by heart).' "

اشْتَكَى ابْنٌ لأَبِي طَلْحَةَ قَالَ فَمَاتَ وَأَبُو طَلْحَةَ خَارِجٌ فَلَمَّا رَأَتِ امْرَأَتُهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ هَيَّأَتْ شَيْئًا وَنَحَّتْهُ فِي جَانِبِ الْبَيْتِ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ قَالَ كَيْفَ الْغُلاَمُ قَالَتْ قَدْ هَدَأَتْ نَفْسُهُ وَأَرْجُو أَنْ يَكُونَ قَدِ اسْتَرَاحَ وَظَنَّ أَبُو طَلْحَةَ أَنَّهَا صَادِقَةٌ قَالَ فَبَاتَ فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحَ اغْتَسَلَ فَلَمَّا أَرَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ أَعْلَمَتْهُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ فَصَلَّى مَعَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ ثُمَّ أَخْبَرَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ بِمَا كَانَ مِنْهُمَا فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لَعَلَّ اللَّهَ أَنْ يُبَارِكَ لَكُمَا فِي لَيْلَتِكُمَا»، قَالَ سُفْيَانُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الأَنْصَارِ فَرَأَيْتُ لَهُمَا تِسْعَةَ أَوْلاَدٍ كُلُّهُمْ قَدْ قَرَأَ الْقُرْآنَ۔

Uyaina bin Hisn bin Hudhaifa bin Badr came and stayed (at Medina) with his nephew Al-Hurr bin Qais bin Hisn who was one of those whom ʿUmar used to keep near him, as the Qurra' (learned men knowing Qur'an by heart) were the people of ʿUmar's meetings and his advisors whether they were old or young. 'Uyaina said to his nephew, "O my nephew! Have you an approach to this chief so as to get for me the permission to see him?" His nephew said, "I will get permission for you to see him." (Ibn ʿAbbas added: ) So he took permission for 'Uyaina,

And when the latter entered, he said, "O the son of Al-Khattab! By Allah, you neither give us sufficient provision nor judge among us with justice." On that ʿUmar became so furious that he intended to harm him. Al-Hurr, said, "O Chief of the Believers!" Allah said to His Apostle 'Hold to forgiveness, command what is good (right), and leave the foolish (i.e. do not punish them).' (7.199) and this person is among the foolish." By Allah, ʿUmar did not overlook that Verse when Al-Hurr recited it before him, and ʿUmar said to observe (the orders of) Allah's Book strictly."

قَدِمَ عُيَيْنَةُ بْنُ حِصْنِ بْنِ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ بَدْرٍ، فَنَزَلَ عَلَى ابْنِ أَخِيهِ الْحُرِّ بْنِ قَيْسِ بْنِ حِصْنٍ، وَكَانَ مِنَ النَّفَرِ الَّذِينَ يُدْنِيهِمْ عُمَرُ، وَكَانَ الْقُرَّاءُ أَصْحَابَ مَجْلِسِ عُمَرَ وَمُشَاوَرَتِهِ، كُهُولًا كَانُوا أَوْ شُبَّانًا. فَقَالَ عُيَيْنَةُ لِابْنِ أَخِيهِ: يَا ابْنَ أَخِي، هَلْ لَكَ وَجْهٌ عِنْدَ هَذَا الْأَمِيرِ، فَتَسْتَأْذِنَ لِي عَلَيْهِ؟ قَالَ: سَأَسْتَأْذِنُ لَكَ عَلَيْهِ. قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَاسْتَأْذَنَ لِعُيَيْنَةَ.

فَلَمَّا دَخَلَ قَالَ: يَا ابْنَ الْخَطَّابِ، وَاللَّهِ مَا تُعْطِينَا الْجَزْلَ، وَمَا تَحْكُمُ بَيْنَنَا بِالْعَدْلِ. فَغَضِبَ عُمَرُ حَتَّى هَمَّ بِأَنْ يَقَعَ بِهِ. فَقَالَ الْحُرُّ: يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَعَالَى قَالَ لِنَبِيِّهِ ﷺ {خُذِ الْعَفْوَ وَأْمُرْ بِالْعُرْفِ وَأَعْرِضْ عَنِ الْجَاهِلِينَ }، وَإِنَّ هَذَا مِنَ الْجَاهِلِينَ. فَوَاللَّهِ مَا جَاوَزَهَا عُمَرُ حِينَ تَلَاهَا عَلَيْهِ، وَكَانَ وَقَّافًا عِنْدَ كِتَابِ اللَّهِ.

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “(1) Purification is half of faith; (2) al-ḥamdu lillāh (All praise is due to Allah) fills the scale; (3) subḥān Allāh  (Glory be to Allah) and al-ḥamdu lillāh fill what is between the skies and the earth; (4) prayer is nur (light); (5) charity is a proof; (6) patience is illumination; (7) and the Quran is an argument for you or against you.”

“Every person goes out in the morning; one sells his own self and thereby either frees it or ruins it.”

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «(١) الطُّهُورُ شَطْرُ الإِيمَانِ، (٢) وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلأُ الْمِيزَانَ، (٣) وَسُبْحَانَ اللَّهِ وَالْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ تَمْلآنِ» أَوْ «تَمْلأُ مَا بَيْنَ السَّمَوَاتِ وَالأَرْضِ، (٤) وَالصَّلاَةُ نُورٌ، (٥) وَالصَّدَقَةُ بُرْهَانٌ، (٦) وَالصَّبْرُ ضِيَاءٌ، (٧) وَالْقُرْآنُ حُجَّةٌ لَكَ أَوْ عَلَيْكَ۔»

«كُلُّ النَّاسِ يَغْدُو فَبَائِعٌ نَفْسَهُ فَمُعْتِقُهَا أَوْ مُوبِقُهَا»۔

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "(1) Whoever relieves a believer of one of the distresses of this world, Allah will relieve him of one of the distresses of the Day of Resurrection. (2) Whoever makes things easy for someone in hardship, Allah will make things easy for him in this world and the Hereafter. (3) Whoever conceals a Muslim, Allah will conceal him in this world and the Hereafter. (4) Allah is in the aid of the servant so long as the servant is in the aid of his brother."

"(5) Whoever follows a path seeking knowledge therein, Allah will make easy for him thereby a path to Paradise. (6) No people gather in one of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah and studying it together among themselves, except that tranquility descends upon them, mercy envelops them, the angels surround them, and Allah mentions them among those who are with Him. (7) Whoever is slowed down by his deeds will not be hastened forward by his lineage."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «(١) مَنْ نَفَّسَ عَنْ مُؤْمِنٍ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ الدُّنْيَا، نَفَّسَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ كُرْبَةً مِنْ كُرَبِ يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ۔ (٢) وَمَنْ يَسَّرَ عَلَى مُعْسِرٍ، يَسَّرَ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ۔ (٣) وَمَنْ سَتَرَ مُسْلِمًا، سَتَرَهُ اللَّهُ فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالآخِرَةِ۔ (٤) وَاللَّهُ فِي عَوْنِ الْعَبْدِ مَا كَانَ الْعَبْدُ فِي عَوْنِ أَخِيهِ۔»

«(٥) وَمَنْ سَلَكَ طَرِيقًا يَلْتَمِسُ فِيهِ عِلْمًا، سَهَّلَ اللَّهُ لَهُ بِهِ طَرِيقًا إِلَى الْجَنَّةِ۔ (٦) وَمَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ، إِلاَّ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ، وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ، وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ، وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ۔ (٧) وَمَنْ بَطَّأَ بِهِ عَمَلُهُ لَمْ يُسْرِعْ بِهِ نَسَبُهُ۔»

from the Prophet ﷺ who said, "No people get together in a house of the houses of Allah, reciting the Book of Allah, and learning it together among themselves, but sakīnah (tranquility) comes down upon them, Mercy envelops them, angels surround them, and Allah makes a mention of them among those who are with Him."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «مَا اجْتَمَعَ قَوْمٌ فِي بَيْتٍ مِنْ بُيُوتِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى، يَتْلُونَ كِتَابَ اللَّهِ، وَيَتَدَارَسُونَهُ بَيْنَهُمْ، إِلاَّ نَزَلَتْ عَلَيْهِمُ السَّكِينَةُ، وَغَشِيَتْهُمُ الرَّحْمَةُ، وَحَفَّتْهُمُ الْمَلاَئِكَةُ، وَذَكَرَهُمُ اللَّهُ فِيمَنْ عِنْدَهُ۔»
