Bikr ibn al-Faraj Abul-'Alaa narrated to us, saying, "I heard Sufyaan ibn 'Uyainah saying:

'The Sunnah consists of ten matters, in whoever these are found, he has completed the Sunnah and whoever leaves anything from them then he has abandoned the Sunnah;

(1) Affirming the Divine Pre-determination.

(2) Giving precedence to Aboo Bakr and 'Umar.

(3) The Hawd (Pond-Lake).

(4) The Intercession.

(5) The Scales (for weighing the deeds).

(6) The Bridge (over Hell-fire).

(7) That _eemaan_ consists of both speech and action.

(cool The Qur'aan is the Speech of Allaah.

(9) The Punishment of the grave.

(10) The Resurrection on the Day of Judgement.

'Mountains of Knowledge' p.32 | Translated by Abu 'Iyaad Amjad Rafiq

lol so the young brother said, im gunna go back and tell Shaykh what you said?!!

So when he got back to Shaykh bin Baz rahimahullaah he said

I was ridding with Shaykh al-Albanee and he was driving REAL FAST and I told him that you said it was haram to drive like this and you no what he said

The man who made that fatwa is a man that has never driven before, lolol, So Shaykh bin Baz said: and the man who said that is a man who has never paid the blood money before.

It is reported that on the first night of Ramadân, ‘Umar – Allâh be pleased with him – would pray Maghrib, then say (to the people):

Sit down. Then he would give a small address: Verily the fasting of this month has been made a duty upon you, and standing in night prayer has not been made a duty upon you, but those amongst you who can stand in prayer should do so, for it is from the extra good deeds about which Allâh told us: so whoever cannot stand in prayer, let him sleep on his bed.

And beware of saying: I will fast if so and so fasts and I will stand in night prayer if so and so stands in prayer. Whoever fasts or stands in night prayer, he must make this for Allâh. And you should know that you are in prayer as long as you are waiting for a prayer.

Minimize any vain or false speech in the houses of Allâh (mosques; he said this two or three times). Let none of you fast a few days before the month (in order to avoid missing the beginning of the month; he said this three times). And do not fast until you see [the crescent of the new month] unless it is overcast. If it is overcast, count [the previous month] as 30 days. Then do not break your fasts until you see the night upon the mountain (i.e. you are sure the sun has set).

The Salaf and the Quran in Ramadan


It is reported that Al-Aswad [b. Yazîd Al-Nakha’î] used to complete the recitation of the Quran in Ramadan every two nights; sleeping between al-maghrib and al-‘ishâ. Outside of Ramadân, he used to complete a recitation every six nights.

Abû Nu’aym, Hilyatu Al-Awliyâ` 1:250.

It is related from Al-Rabî’ b. Sulaymân, “Muhammad b. Idrîs Al-Shâfi’î used to complete reciting the Quran in the month of Ramadan sixty times, all in the prayer.”

Ibid. 4:107

It is reported that Abul-Ash-hab said, “Abû Al-Rajâ` [Al-Atârudî] would complete with us a recitation of the Quran in the night prayers of Ramadan every ten days.”

Ibid. 1:348

It is reported that Qatâdah used to complete a recitation of the Quran once every seven nights, and when Ramadan came, once every three nights. During the last ten nights, he would complete a recitation every night.

Ibid. 1:364

It is reported that Al-Bukhârî used to complete a recitation [of the Quran] once a day in Ramadan, and would pray after Tarâwîh every night, completing another recitation every three nights.

Al-Dhahabî, Siyar A’lâm Al-Nubalâ` 12:439

Notes

After mentioning some similar examples from the Salaf, Ibn Rajab says in Latâ`if Al-Ma’ârif p319:

The prohibition of reciting the Quran in less than three days [found in some ahadith] refers to doing so regularly [throughout the year]. As for virtuous times, like Ramadan – especially the nights in which it is hoped Laylatu Al-Qadr will occur – or virtuous places, like Makkah – for those who enter it and are not residents there, then it is recommended to increase in reciting the Quran, making the most of the time and the place. This is the position of [Imam] Ahmad, Ishâq [ibn Râhûyah] and other Imams, and the practice of others [from the Salaf] indicates [they held the same position].

It is reported that a man came to ʿAlī – Allāh be pleased with him – and asked, What do you think about a man who committed a sin? He replied, He must seek Allāh’s forgiveness and repent to Him. [The man] said, He did that, but then sinned again? [ʿAlī] said, He must seek Allāh’s forgiveness and repent to Him. The man again said, He did that, but returned to sin. [ʿAlī] said, He must seek Allāh’s forgiveness and repent to Him. The man said for the fourth time, He did, but then sinned again. ʿAlī then said, Until when? Then he said, He must seek Allāh’s forgiveness and repent to Him; and not give up until it is Shayṭān who is defeated [overcome].

Ziyaad ibn Kusaib al-Adawiyy said,
“I was with Aboo Bakrah beneath the minbar (pulpit) of Ibn Aamir. He was giving a speech and was wearing a fine garment. So Aboo Bilaal said, ‘Look at our ameer wearing the garment of the disobedient.’
Then Aboo Bakrah said, “Be silent. I heard the Messenger of Allaah ﷺ say, ‘Whoever demeans the sultaan (ruler) of Allaah upon the earth Allaah will humiliate him.”

Ibn Taymiyyah, may Allaah have mercy on him, said: “Something which proves that people may be ignorant of their own condition and not feel it, is that many people may have a hidden desire for leadership but are insensible to it. The person may be sincere in his worship but not aware of his own faults. Many scholars have discussed this topic, and it has been named the hidden desire.

Sufiyaan al- Thauri said Zuhd (renouncing worldly pleasure to gain nearness to Allah) is to have limited amount of expectations (very few hopes); It does not mean eating or or inadequate foods as many think, or wearing a cheap gown or cloak as people think.

Ibn Tamiyyah also mentioned that Zuhd is to leave alone those things which will not benefit you in the next life. Wara'a(piety) is to leave things you fear might harm you i the next life.

From Ibn Qayyim Al-Zhud.

It is reported from Ḥabīb Al-Jallāb that he asked ʿAbdullāh b. Al-Mubārak – Allāh have mercy on him:

“What is the best thing a person is ever given?” He replied, “Innate intelligence.” He then asked, “And if not that?” He replied, “Good conduct.” He then asked, “And if not that?” He replied, “A compassionate brother to consult.” He then asked, “And if not that?” He replied, “Long silence.” He asked, “And if not that?” Ibn Al-Mubārak replied, “Then an early death.”

Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) said: “When a person spends his entire day with no other concern but Allaah alone, Allaah, may He be glorified, will take care of all his needs and take care of all that is worrying him; He will empty his heart so that it will be filled only with love for Him, free his tongue so that it will speak only in remembrance of Him (dhikr) and cause all his faculties to work only in obedience to Him.

But if a person spends his entire day with no other concern but this world, Allaah will make him bear its distress, anxiety and pain; He will leave him to sort himself out, and cause his heart to be distracted from the love of Allaah towards the love of some created being, cause his tongue to speak only in remembering people instead of remembering Allaah, and cause him to use his talents and energy in obeying and serving them.

So he will strive hard, labouring like some work-animal, to serve something other than Allaah… Everyone who turns away from being a true slave of Allaah and obeying Him and loving Him will be burdened with servitude, love and obedience to some created being. Allaah says (interpretation of the meaning): ‘And whosoever turns away (blinds himself) from the remembrance of the Most Beneficent (Allaah), We appoint for him a shaytaan (devil) to be a qareen (intimate companion) to him.’ [al-Zukhruf 43:36].”

Why is he so famous?

al-Qasim b. Muhammad: We were on a journey with Ibn al-Mubarak, and I was always asking myself: What’s so special about this man that he’s so famous?!

If he prays, so do we! If he fasts, so do we! If he fights, so do we! If he makes Hajj, so do we!

One night, we spent the night in a house travelling on the way to Sham.

The lamp went out, and some of us woke up.

So, he took the lamp outside to light it, and stayed outside for a while.

When he came back in with the lamp, I caught a glimpse of Ibn al-Mubarak’s face, and saw that his beard was wet with his tears.

I said to myself: This fear of Allaah is what has made this man better than us. When the lamp went out and we were in darkness, he remembered the Day of Resurrection!
