The breadth of the forgiveness of the almighty and great Allah. Important words of remembrance The difference between the two types of shirk

Anas narrated from the Prophet (S.G.V.):

Rasulullah told us from Allah:

Abu Hurayrah said:

Our Prophet told us that the Almighty said: “If My servant wants to be reunited with Me, I will also want to be reunited with him. If one of My servants considers Me bad, then I will consider him bad ».

Tomorrow, on Judgment Day, I will have claims against three:

One of these, he who spends something for My sake, and then acts unjustly.

One more of these, the one who sells the slave whom he promised to free, and spends the proceeds on himself.

BUT the third makes someone work for himself and does not give him the money earned.

The Prophet (S.G.V.) also conveyed the following words of the Almighty:

Hey children of Adam! I was sick and you didn't come and ask me how I feel.

Our Prophet (pbuh) said:

Divine! How can we visit You, since You are the Lord of the worlds?

The Almighty deigned to answer:

So-and-so My servant was sick, but you did not come to visit him. And if they had visited, they would have found me there.

Our Prophet (pbuh) says:

Allah Almighty said: "Hey, My servants! All of you are vicious. And if so, then ask Me to show you the true path, and I will grant you hidayat.

All of you are hungry. And if so, then ask Me for food, and I will give you food.

You are all naked. So ask Me for robes and I will give them to you.

Day and night you make mistakes, and I forgive you your sins. Ask Me to have mercy on you and I will have mercy on you.

If the first of you and the last, your jinn and people, all be God-fearing, nothing will come of My power. If you are all disobedient, nothing will be lost from My good because of this.

Our Prophet (S.G.V.) conveyed the following words of the Almighty:

For my righteous servants, I have prepared in Paradise something that eyes have not seen, ears have not heard about, and not a single soul could even imagine such a thing.

The Prophet (S.G.V.) reports:

Allah Almighty said: "Oh Muhammad! In the world I like three things:

Sad soul.
Patient person.
One who lives in this world with empty hands.

Oh Muhammad! There are three things I don't like about this world:

A carefree soul.
An impatient person.
The one who is attached to this world.

The Almighty says: “Among the slaves, My friends are those who remember me with My dhikr. I, too, will commemorate them with their proper remembrance.

Oh sons of Adam! If you distance yourself from all people and are only occupied with worshiping Me, I will fill your souls with grace. Poverty can't get close to you. If you turn away from worshiping Me and only concern yourself with other people, I will fill your hands with everything that is in this world, but I will open the gates of poverty over you. And you will never get rid of eternal need.

Whoever is busy with Me and My remembrance, I will give him everything beyond his expectations, even if he does not ask Me.

- Ikhlas (sincerity) is one of my secrets. Which of My servants I will love, I will place this secret in the soul of that one.

If My servants did not sincerely acknowledge My being and My oneness with the words " La ilaha illallah", then I would bring down Hell on the heads of the inhabitants of the earth and destroy them all.

From the book "Anvarul-ashikin"

The Prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “Whoever saves forty hadiths for my Ummah, they will say on the Day of Judgment: “Enter Paradise from whichever gate you wish.”

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “How wonderful is the position of a believer! Verily, everything in his position is good for him, and this is (not given) to anyone except the believer: if something pleases him, he thanks (Allah), and this becomes good for him, but if grief befalls him, he manifests patience, and that also becomes good for him.” (Muslim)

“When Allah loves people, He sends them trials. If they show contentment, then they will receive contentment. Those who show anger will only deserve anger.” Another version of this hadith: “Verily, the magnitude of the reward corresponds to the magnitude of trials and troubles, and verily, if Allah loves any people, He sends trials (troubles) on them. And the one who shows contentment (before the test), that too is the contentment of Allah. The one who is angry, to him is the wrath of Allah ”(At-Tirmizi, Ibn Maja)

In a hadith narrated by At-Tirmidhi, it is said: “Know: what has passed should not have happened to you, and what happened to you should not have passed you. And know that there is no victory without patience, no discovery without loss, no relief without hardship.”

Abu Sa'id al-Khudri and Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with them) reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whatever befalls a Muslim, be it fatigue, illness, anxiety, sadness, trouble, sorrow or even a prick of a thorn, Allah will certainly Forgive him some of his sins for this.” (Al-Bukhari) Another version of this hadith says: “Whatever sadness, anxiety or misfortune befalls a believer, it will certainly become an atonement for his sins, even if he is simply pricked by a thorn” (Al-Bukhari)

From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, it is reported that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The trials will not stop befalling the believer and the believer in their bodies, in their property, in their offspring until they meet their Lord cleansed from sins” (Ahmad, Bukhari, Tirmizi). Another version of this hadith says: “A Muslim or a Muslim woman will be constantly tested by illness, property, children, until they meet Allah clean, without any sin” (Ahmad)

From Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, it is transmitted that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “When Allah wishes good for his slave, He punishes him already in this world. If He wants bad things for His servant, then he postpones the punishment until the Day of Judgment ”(Tirmizi, Ibn Maja)

From Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, it is transmitted: “One day a Bedouin came, and the Prophet ﷺ asked him: “Have you ever been ill with a fever?” The Bedouin asked, "What is a fever?" The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Heat between the skin and the meat." He replied: "No." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked: “Have you ever felt a headache?” The Bedouin asked, "What is a headache?" The Prophet ﷺ said to him: "The power that creates pressure in the head, breaking out the sweat." The Bedouin again answered, "No." When he left, the Prophet ﷺ said: “Whoever wants to look at a person from the inhabitants of the Fire, then let him look at him (at this Bedouin)” (Bukhari)

It was narrated from Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that once the Prophet ﷺ passed by a woman who was crying at the grave, and said: “Fear Allah and be patient,” to which she replied, not recognizing him: “Go away, for you have not experienced such trouble." When she was told that it was the Prophet ﷺ, she came to him and apologized for not recognizing him. Then the Prophet ﷺ said: “The patience of a person is recognized at the moment of sending down trouble.” (Al-Bukhari)

Umm Salama, may Allah be pleased with her, said: “I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say:“ If any of the servants of Allah suffers misfortune, and he says: “Verily, we belong to Allah and to Him is our return! O Allah, reward me in my misfortune and give me something better in return! ”, Then the Almighty will certainly reward him in trouble and give him something better in return. And when Abu Salamah died, I said what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ordered me to say, and Allah replaced him with someone who became better for me than him - the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings of Allah be upon him ”(Muslim)

“No man has been given anything better or more extensive than patience.” (Muslim)

“When a trouble befalls someone and he hides it without complaining, then Allah undertakes to forgive his sins” (Kanzul Ummal, No. 6696)

It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If any of you looks at the one who was granted more wealth and who was endowed with a more attractive appearance, let him look at the one who is lower than him (for that matter)." Or in another version: “Look at those who are below you, and do not look at those who are above you. This will help you not to belittle those favors of Allah with which He has blessed you ”(Al-Bukhari, Muslim)

Attaw ibn Abu Rabah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “Ibn Abbas asked me:“ Show you a woman from the inhabitants of Paradise? I replied: "Show me." He said: “This woman (Umma Zafar, may Allah be pleased with her) came to the Prophet ﷺ and said that she was suffering from epilepsy and asked him to make dua for her recovery. The Prophet ﷺ told her: “If you want, be patient and you will have Paradise, or if you want, I will ask Allah for health for you.” She said that she would be patient, but asked for a dua so that she would not be naked when an attack occurs, and he made a dua ”(Al-Bukhari, Muslim)

It was narrated from the words of Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Allah Almighty says: “I will have no other reward than paradise for My believing slave, if I take away from the people whom he loved, and he will meekly endure the loss in the hope of the reward of Allah ”(Al-Bukhari)

Once the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked Jibril, peace be upon him: "What was the grief of Yakub for Yusuf?" Jibril replied: "She was equal to the grief of seventy mothers who lost their sons!" "Then what was the reward for that?" - the Prophet ﷺ asked him. "Equal to the reward of a hundred who fell in the path of Allah, for he never for a moment lost hope in Allah" ”(Tabari, XIII, 61; Suyuti, ad-Durrul-Mansur, IV, 570, Yusuf, 86)

It was narrated from the words of Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “Verily, Allah said:“ If I test My servant (by depriving him) of his two loved ones, and he becomes patient, Paradise will be his recompense from Me.” By "two favorites" they mean the eyes. Another version of this hadith: “If I test My servant with his eyes (I take away his eyesight) and he shows patience, then I will replace it with Paradise” (Al-Bukhari)

Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “Once I went to the Prophet ﷺ, who was suffering from a strong fever, and said to him: “What a strong fever you have!” And I said, "Is this because you are destined for a double reward?" He said: “Yes, and any Muslim who suffers, Allah will surely free him from (the burden of) his sins, just as a tree is freed from its leaves” (Al-Bukhari). Another version of this hadith:

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him: “Once I came to visit the Prophet ﷺ, who was ill with malaria. I told him: "O Messenger of Allah! This is a serious illness, a difficult test!" To which he replied: "Yes, I experience what two people experience." "Then, surely, and you will receive a double reward for this?" I asked. "Yes, this is so. Allah forgives the sins of a Muslim for everything that he undergoes: for the thorn that stuck into his leg, and for greater trials. And his sins fall from him like leaves from a tree" ”(Al-Bukhari, Muslim )

“When a Muslim is among people and shows patience (be patient with the troubles that these people cause him), he is better than a Muslim who is not among people (avoids people) and does not show patience (to their actions)” (At-Tirmidhi)

Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said that sometimes a month passed and the fire was not lit in the house of the Prophet ﷺ. “We survived only on dates and water.” (Bukhari)

“When Allah sends punishment to any people, it strikes with itself all those who are among (these people), and then they will be resurrected (and will be judged) according to their deeds” (Al-Bukhari)

“Do not condemn or reproach Allah for what He has ordained for you.” (Ahmad, Al-Bayhaqi)

It was narrated from Anas ibn Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever is not pleased with the decisions of Allah and at the same time believes in the predestination of Allah, let him seek another master besides Allah.”

The Prophet ﷺ said: “O people, do not wish to meet with enemies and ask Allah for well-being and deliverance, but if you have already met with them, then be patient and know that Paradise is under the shadow of your swords!” (Al-Bukhari, Muslim)

From Asma bint 'Umays, may Allah be pleased with her, it is transmitted that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If the one who befell sadness, trouble, illness or difficulty says: “Allah is my Lord, He has no partner” اللهُ رَبِّ، لاَشَرِيكَ لَهُ / Allahu Rabbi, la shara lahu / then she (prayer) will save him from all this ”(At-Tabarani)

“Indeed, it may be that a person has a high position before Allah, which he does not achieve by his deeds. And Allah does not stop testing him with what is unpleasant for him until he reaches this high position ”(Abu Ya’la, Ibn Hibban). Another version of this hadith:

“When Allah predestinates for His slave a high position that he cannot achieve by his deeds, Allah tests him with something in his body, or in his child, or in his property. After that, he grants him patience until he reaches that high position that Allah predetermined for him, Holy and Great is He ”(Ahmad, Abu Dawud)

Suleiman ibn 'Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: “Since the prophets will be those who will be rewarded more than others, they were more than others subjected to trials and tribulations, as it came in a hadith from Sa'd, may Allah be pleased with him, who asked the Prophet ﷺ: “Which of the people was most tested?” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ replied: “The Prophets, then those who were closer to them (by their iman), then those who were closer to these righteous ones. And a person is tested in accordance with the degree of his religion (faith). If he was steadfast in religion, then his trials increased. If there was a weakness in his religion, then he was tested in accordance with the degree of his religion. And they do not cease to comprehend the slave of deprivation and trouble until they leave him to walk the earth free from sins ”(At-Tirmizi, Ibn Maja, Ibn Hibban)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever Allah desires good, comprehends any of these (diseases).” (Al-Bukhari)

Imam Ahmad cites a hadith from Mahmoud ibn Labid, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said: “If Allah feels love for any people, then He sends trials (trouble) on him. Whoever shows patience, then patience will be for him, and whoever does not show patience, then there will be no patience for him ”(Ahmad, Al-Baykhaki)

Muslims should not desire difficulties or ask Allah for trials and illnesses in order to receive the great reward that Allah gives for patience. It is reported in an authentic hadith that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever eats and thanks Allah for it, gets the reward of the one who fasts and shows patience” (Ahmad, Ibn Majah)

Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said: “It is preferable for me to be in prosperity and thank Allah for it than to be tested and endure” (“Fathul-Bari” 6/179)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “The best manifestations of faith (iman) are patience (endurance, fortitude) and generosity (indulgence)” (Ad-Daylami, Al-Bukhari)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Patience (calmly overcoming difficulties without complaint, but with hope in the Lord) is a bright light” (Ahmad, Muslim, at-Tirmidhi)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “From the material costs of good deeds, wealth does not decrease, but increases; if a person is oppressed, but shows patience (does not respond to evil with evil), then Allah will certainly exalt him even more; and if a person opens the door of petition (begging) for himself, then Allah will certainly open the door of poverty for him (until the person changes himself) ”(Ahmad, at-Tirmidhi)

Az-Zubair bin 'Adi, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "(In due time) we came to Anas bin Malik, may Allah be pleased with him, and complained to him about what we had to endure from al-Hajjaj (, to which) he said: “Be patient, for whatever time comes for you, after it such times will surely come that will turn out to be even worse (and so it will continue) until you meet your Lord. (These words) I heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him).” (Al-Bukhari)

The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said: “A strong believer is better before Allah and more beloved by Him than a weak one. Although each of them has a blessing. Be extremely purposeful in what is good for you. Ask the Almighty for help and do not show weakness! If something has befallen you, then do not say: “If I had done so, then, verily, everything would have been different.” This "if" creates a loophole for Satan's tricks. Say instead: “Thus has the Almighty determined, having accomplished what He desired” (Muslim, hadith from Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him)

Once the Prophet ﷺ came to visit a seriously ill person and, seeing that he was completely ill, asked: “Don’t you make prayers, don’t you ask your Lord?” The patient replied: “Yes, I say: “O Allah, if You punish me in the Hereafter, then it is better to hasten the punishment for me in this world.” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Holy is Allah! Truly, you cannot bear it! Why don’t you say: “O Allah, grant us good in this world and in the next world, and protect us from the torment of the Fire”?!” Then he turned to Allah with a prayer, and He healed him ”(Muslim)

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Do not act harshly towards yourself! Indeed, those who lived before you were ruined because they showed severity towards themselves. And you can find the rest of them in cells and monasteries.” (Al-Bukhari)

It is reported that Ibn ‘Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, turned to Allah with such a prayer: “O Allah! If You wrote me down from among the unfortunate, then erase it and write me down from among the happy!” اللهم إن كنت كتبتني شقيا فامحني واكتبني سسيدا / Allahumma in Kunta Catabtani Shakjianiyan Famhuni Uaktubny Sa'idan / (Ahmad)

From Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, it is reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If one who is troubled or sad says:
“Allah, verily, I am Your servant, and the son of Your servant, and the son of Your servant. I am subject to You, Your decisions are binding on me, and the judgment You have pronounced on me is just. I conjure You by each of Your names, by which You called Yourself, or revealed it in Your Book, or revealed it to any of Your creations, or left it hidden from everyone except You, to make the Qur'an the spring of my heart, the light of my chest and the cause of the disappearance of my sadness and the cessation of my anxiety!”
أَللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي عَبْدُكَ، ابْنُ عَبْدِكَ، ابْنُ أَمَتِكَ، نَاصِيَتِي بِيَدِكَ مَاضٍ فِي حُكْمُكَ، عَدْلٌ فِي قَضَاؤُكَ، أَسْأَلُكَ بِكُلِّ اسْمٍ هُوَلَكَ، سَمَّيْتَ بِهِ نَفْسَكَ أَوْأَنْزَلْتَهُ فِي كِتَابِكَ، أَوْ عَلَّمْتَهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ خَلْقِكَ، أَوِاسْتَأْ ثَرْتَ بِهِ فِي عِلْمِ الْغَيْبِ عِنْدَكَ أَنْ تَجْعَلَ الْقُرْآنَ رَبِيعَ قَلْبِي، وَنُورَ صَدْرِي، وَجَلاَءَ حُزْنِي وَذَهَابَ هَمِّي
Allahumma inni 'abduk, ibnu 'abduk, ibnu amatik, nasyeti biedik, madyn fi hukmuk, 'adlun fi kaada-uk, as aluka bikulli-smin hu ualak, summita bihi nafsak, au anzaltahu fi kitabik, au 'allyamtahu ahadan min halkik, auuista' sarta bihi fi 'ilmil-gheibi 'indak, an taj'ala Qurana rabi'a kalbi, wa nura sadri, wa jala-a huzni, wa zahaba hammi,
- then Allah the Great and Almighty will surely deliver him from sorrow and replace his sorrow with joy. The people said: “O Messenger of Allah! Should we learn these words?” The Prophet ﷺ said, “Of course. The one who heard them should learn them ”(Ahmad, Ibn Hibban, at-Tabarani).

From ‘Umar ibn al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, it is reported that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “Whoever sees a person suffering from any disease and says:
“Praise be to Allah, Who delivered me from that with which he struck you, and gave me preference over many of those whom He created”
اَلْحَمْدُ لِلهِ الَّذِي عَافَانِي مِمَّاابْتَلَكَ بِهِ، وَفَضَّلَنِي عَلَى كَثِيرٍ مِمَّنْ خَلَقَ تَفْضِيلاً
Alhamdu li-Llahi llazi ‘afani mimmabtalaka bihi, wa faddalani ‘ala kasirin mimman halaqa tafdylyan, this disease will not befall him ”(At-Tirmizi, Ibn Maja)

Allah Almighty said:

“Read them the story of the one to whom We gave Our revelations, but he rejected them. Satan overtook him, and he became astray. If We had willed, We would have exalted him by means of it. However, he crouched down to the ground and began to indulge his desires. It is like a dog: if you chase it away, it sticks out its tongue, and if you leave it alone, it sticks out its tongue too.” (Sura al-A'raf, verses 175-176)

This is an example of a knowledgeable person who did not act in accordance with his knowledge.

Ibn ul-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy on him) said:

“Look at the censure contained in this verse!

First, it is said that this man went astray after knowledge was given to him. He deliberately favored unbelief over faith.

Secondly, this man is said to have cast off faith so much that he will never return to it again. Indeed, in the verse the word "انسلخ" came. For example, they say about the snake "انسلخ" - that is, "she shed her skin so that this skin will not return to her again."

Thirdly, it is said that Satan caught him in his nets and overcame him.

Fourthly, it is said that he became astray after being on the straight path.

Fifthly, it is said that Allah Almighty did not wish to elevate this person through knowledge. And this caused the death of this man. If he had not been knowledgeable, then perhaps it would have been better for him, as he would have received lesser punishment.

Sixthly, Allah Almighty reported that this person has low aspirations. He chose for himself the contemptible, rejecting the sublime.

Seventhly, it is said: “he clung to the earth,” that is, he consciously chose for himself a contemptible existence. It was not just a temporary impulse of the soul. Under the ground here refers to worldly life.

Eighth, this man turned away from the straight path and followed his passions. He made his passion imam for himself.

Ninthly, Allah Almighty compared this person with a dog, that is, with the most contemptible and greedy animal.

Tenth, Allah Almighty compared this person, his desire for worldly things with how a dog sticks out his tongue. If you chase her away, she sticks out her tongue, and if you leave her alone, she sticks out her tongue too. So is this person: if you leave him, he sticks out his tongue, striving for the worldly, if you start to exhort and forbid him, he still sticks out his tongue, striving for the worldly.

Ibn Qutayba said: “Every creature sticks out its tongue either because of fatigue or because of thirst, except for a dog. The dog sticks out its tongue both when it is tired and when it is calm. She sticks out her tongue both when she is thirsty and after she has drunk. That is why Allah Almighty compared this unbeliever to a dog. If you admonish him, he remains in error; if you leave him, he is still in error. It is like a dog: if you chase it away, it sticks out its tongue, and if you leave it alone, it sticks out its tongue too. But, it should be noted that this does not apply to every dog. This refers to dogs that stick out their tongues."

عن نس بن مالك رضي الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله ﷺ يقول: قال الله تعالى: «يا ابن آدم! إنك ما دددوتني ورجوتني غفرت لك على ما كان منك ولا أبالي, يا ابن آدم! لو بلغت ذنوبك عنان السماء ثماء استغفرتني غفرت لك, يا ابن آدم! إنك لو أتيتني بقراب الأرض خطايا ثم لقيتني لا تشرك بي شيئا لأتيتك بقرابها مغفرة ». ََََاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ [رقم:3540]

Anas, may Allah be pleased with him, reported:
"I heard the Messenger of Allah say:
“Allah Almighty said: “O son of Adam, truly, I will forgive you, regardless of what (sins) you (committed), as long as you do not stop crying out to Me and relying on Me! O son Adama, if you commit so many sins that when they reach the clouds of heaven, and then ask Me for forgiveness, then I ask you!O son of Adam, truly, if you come to Me with (so many) sins (that they will fill with themselves) almost the whole earth, but you will meet Me, not worshiping anything else along with Me, I will definitely grant you forgiveness that will cover all these sins ”(At-Tirmizi and ad-Darimi.)

UNDERSTANDING THIS HADITH AND WHERE IT DIRECTS

Of all the hadiths that make up the sunnah of the prophet, (ﷺ), this hadith inspires the most hope, because it says how much Allah Almighty can forgive. This is done so that people who commit many sins do not despair of the possibility of receiving the forgiveness of Allah. On the other hand, no one should be seduced by this and not plunge into the abyss of sins, because it may turn out that they completely subjugate a person and do not allow him to deserve this forgiveness. Below the reader is offered an explanation of this. 1. Reasons for forgiveness
There are a number of means by which a person who commits many sins can earn forgiveness, including:

1 - Appeal to Allah with a prayer and the hope of receiving an answer.
Allah Almighty orders to turn to Him with prayers and promises that he will give an answer to such an appeal.
Allah Almighty said:
"And your Lord said, 'Call on Me, and I will answer you!'"Believer", 60.
It is narrated from the words of an-Nu "man bin Bashir, may Allah be pleased with him, that once the prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Indeed, turning to Allah with a supplication is worship” and then read the following verse:
"And your Lord said, 'Call on Me, and I will answer you!'" (at-Tirmidhi)
And, truly, if Allah Almighty, glory to Him, shows mercy to His servant, helping him to turn to Him with humble prayers, then He will certainly show him another mercy, accepting this prayer and giving an answer to it.
At-Tabarani narrates a hadith in which
“To the one who has received a gift (the opportunity to deal with) a prayer, an answer will also be granted, for Allah Almighty says:
"Call to Me and I will answer you!""Believer", 60.
And in another hadith it is reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Allah is not such as to open the gates of prayer in front of a slave, closing the gates of answer in front of him,”(Ibn Rajab)2 - The conditions for receiving an answer, what prevents this, and the rules for turning to Allah with prayers.
Appeal to Allah with a prayer necessarily leads to an answer when all the necessary conditions are met and everything that prevents this is excluded. Thus, a person may not receive an answer if some conditions or rules for handling a prayer are not met, or if there are certain obstacles to this.
a - Presence and hope.
The main conditions include the presence of the heart and the hope of receiving a response from Allah Almighty.

“Supplication to Allah, being sure of (receiving) an answer, and know that Allah Almighty does not answer the prayer of a careless and inattentive heart”,(at-Tirmizi)
In the Musnad of Imam Ahmad, there is a hadith in which, from the words of Abdullah bin Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, it is reported that the prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Hearts are vessels, and some of them are more capacious than others, and (therefore) when you ask (about anything) Almighty and Great Allah, O people, ask Him, being sure that you will receive an answer, for verily, Allah does not answer such a servant who calls upon Him while his heart remains careless.”
A sign of hope is the proper performance of one's religious duties.
Allah Almighty said:
"Verily, those who believe and who migrate, showing diligence in the path of Allah, hope for the mercy of Allah..." "Cow", 218.
b - The manifestation of determination when handling requests and prayers.
This means that the slave must address his prayers to Allah sincerely, firmly, persistently and without hesitation in his heart and words.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) is reported to have said:
"Let none of you ever say: 'O Allah, forgive me if you wish, O Allah, have mercy on me if you wish,'"
- but let him show determination when dealing with a prayer, since Allah already does only what he wants, and no one is able to force Him (to anything). "(Muslim)
The Prophet (ﷺ) is also reported to have said:
“When one of you makes a prayer, let him not say: “O Allah, forgive me, if you want,” but show determination in requests and ask for more, for, verily, whatever Allah grants, He is greater it won't count." (Muslim)
c - The manifestation of perseverance in prayers.
Allah Almighty loves when His slave declares that he is His slave and that he needs Him, doing this so that He will give him an answer and respond to his request. And as long as the slave persists in his prayers, desiring to receive an answer and not losing hope, he will be close to receiving such an answer, because the one who knocks at the door is close to being opened.
Allah Almighty said:
"...and call upon Him with fear and longing. Verily, the mercy of Allah is close to those who do good!""Barriers". 56.
The Prophet (ﷺ) is reported to have said:
"Allah is angry with the one who does not turn to Him with requests." (Ibn Maja.)
d - Haste and refusal to appeal with prayers.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) forbade the servant of Allah to show haste and refuse to appeal to Allah with prayers in the event that the answer to them is delayed, indicating that such actions are among the factors preventing the receipt of an answer. This was said so that the slave does not lose hope of receiving an answer, even if this answer is delayed, since Allah Almighty, glory to Him, loves those who are persistent in their prayers.
The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said:
“Each of you will be given an answer, if only he does not hurry, saying:“ I turned with prayers to my Lord, and He did not answer me ”(Al-Bukhari and Muslim.)
e - Permissible lot.
One of the most important factors contributing to obtaining an answer to a prayer is the permissibility of the means of life that a person has, and the legitimacy of the methods by which he obtains them. Interfering with the receipt of an answer, among other things, is the fact that a person does not pay attention to his destiny, not attaching importance to whether it is permissible or forbidden.
It is reported that once (the Prophet, ﷺ), narrated a story about a dusty man with disheveled hair, who traveled a long way and raised his hands to the sky with the words:
"O Lord, O Lord!", - mentioning that (this person) ate the forbidden, dressed in the forbidden and was fed by the forbidden, and saying: "Will he wait for an answer (to such prayers)." (Muslim.)
And the Prophet (ﷺ) advised Sa "du bin Abu Waqqas, may Allah be pleased with him:
"O Sa" d, eat good, and you will receive answers to your prayers. "(At-Tabarani.)

2. Asking for forgiveness
Prayers for the forgiveness of sins and such inextricably linked things as salvation from fire and the opportunity to enter paradise are among the most important things that a servant of Allah can ask his Lord.
The Prophet (ﷺ) is reported to have said: "We're Coming Back to It"(Abu Dawud)
This means: we constantly ask for paradise and salvation from fire.
Abu Muslim al-Khauliani said: "Whenever I made a prayer in which I mentioned fire, I always asked for deliverance from it."

3. The prayers of the slave about what is good for him
The manifestation of the mercy of Allah Almighty in relation to His slave is that when the slave turns to Him with a prayer to satisfy any of his worldly needs, He either answers his prayer or replaces what he asks for something better for him. In other words, Allah either removes some evil from him due to this, or makes a reserve for him in the eternal world, or forgives him some sin for this.
Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whoever turns to Allah with (any) prayer, Allah will certainly either grant him what he asks for, or protect him from a similar (in magnitude) evil, unless he begins to pray for a sin or a break family ties." (Ahmad and at-Tabarani.)
In "Musnad" of Imam Ahmad and "Mustadrak" al-Hakim, there is a hadith in which, according to Abu Sa'id, may Allah be pleased with him, it is reported that the prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Whichever Muslim turns to Allah with a prayer in which there is nothing sinful and which does not concern the breaking of family ties, Allah will surely grant him one of three: either answer his prayer already in this world, or make it a reserve for him in the eternal world, or deliver him from an evil equal (in magnitude) to that (what he asks for)."
(People) asked: "And if we (will ask) for a lot?"
He said:
"Allah (may) have more."
Instead of words “... either deliver him from an evil equal (in magnitude) to that (what he asks for)” in the hadith cited by at-Tabarani, the following words are given: “... or forgive him for this sin committed before.”

4. About how to address Allah with prayers
To do this, you must: choose to pray right time, commit before ablution and prayer, bring repentance, turn around facing the qibla And raise your hands to the sky, start praying with praise and glorification of Allah and prayers for the prophet,(ﷺ), and complete it with another supplication for the prophet, (ﷺ), and saying the word / amine/, to pray not only for yourself, but for everyone, expect only good things from Allah and hope for an answer, admit your sins and lower your voice.

5. Asking for forgiveness regardless of the gravity of the sins committed
No matter how grave the sins of a slave may be, the condescension and forgiveness of Allah will still turn out to be wider and greater than them, and in comparison with the forgiveness of Allah the Most High, they will seem like something insignificant.
It is reported that Jabir, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "A man came to the Prophet, (ﷺ), and exclaimed twice or thrice: "How great are my sins!"
(To this) the Prophet (ﷺ) said to him:
“Say: “O Allah, Your forgiveness is greater than my sins, and I hope in Your mercy more than in my deeds.”
/ Allahhumma, magfirat-kya ausa "at min zunubi, va rahmatu-kya arji" indi min "amali /,
- and he uttered these words, after which (the prophet, ﷺ), said to him: "Repeat" and he repeated them.
Then he (ﷺ) said to him again: "Repeat",
-and he repeated them again, after which (the Prophet, (ﷺ),) said to him: "Get up, Allah has forgiven you" (Al-Hakim.)

6. Requests for forgiveness in the Quran
There are many requests for forgiveness in the Quran.
Sometimes Allah tells people to turn to Him with such requests. Thus, Allah Almighty said:
"... so pray to Allah for forgiveness, indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful!"
"Wrapped up", 20.

Hood. 3.
Sometimes He gives praise to those who turn to Him with such requests. For example, Allah Almighty said:
"...And those who ask Him for forgiveness in the predawn time."
"Family of Imran", 17.
Allah Almighty also said:
“To those who have done something unworthy or offended themselves, and then remembered Allah, asked for forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah? - and is not going to return to what he did, knowing
such a reward will be a petition from their Lord ... "" The Family of Imran", 135 - 136.
Sometimes it is indicated that appeals with prayers for forgiveness entail forgiveness, and it is mentioned that Allah Almighty forgives those who pray to Him for forgiveness.
Allah Almighty said:
"And whoever does something wrong or offends himself, and then asks Allah for forgiveness, he will see that Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." "Women", 110.
All this indicates that requests for forgiveness are of great importance and are the basis for the salvation of a slave who inevitably does something contrary to the commands of Allah and commits sins voluntarily or involuntarily.

7. Repentance and asking for forgiveness
Very often the mention of requests for forgiveness is combined with the mention of repentance. For example, Allah Almighty said:
"Will they not repent to Allah and ask His forgiveness?" "Meal". 74.
Allah Almighty also said:
"... so that you ask for forgiveness from your Lord, and then bring repentance to Him ..."Hood. 3.
Other verses could be cited. The meaning of asking for forgiveness is obvious, but as for repentance, it is an external and internal refusal to commit sins.
Sometimes only a request for forgiveness is mentioned, after which it is indicated that this was the reason for forgiveness.
For example, Allah Almighty said:
"He said:" My Lord, I offended myself, forgive me! "- and He forgave him..."
"Story". 16.
Allah Almighty also said:
"So pray to Allah for forgiveness, indeed, Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
"Wrapped up", 20.
There are other verses of this kind. This is also mentioned in the hadith we are considering and similar to it.
Words " you asked me for forgiveness"mean: you brought true repentance, expressing regret in connection with the disobedience committed as such, refused it, made a firm decision not to return to such a thing for the sake of Allah and compensated what you could from those types of worship that you did not pay attention to before. In addition It is necessary to return what was misappropriated to those to whom it belongs, or to obtain their forgiveness.And yet, asking for forgiveness requires refusing to commit a sin and correcting the existing situation.
Allah Almighty said:
"And whoever repents, having committed injustice, and corrects himself, then, verily, Allah will accept his repentance, for Allah is Forgiving, Merciful."
"Meal", 39.

8. Asking for forgiveness and persisting in committing sins
Absolutely all the verses and hadiths that deal with forgiveness, for example, the verse No. 135 quoted above from the Surah "Imran's Family". indicate the inadmissibility of perseverance in committing sins, since in these verses Allah promises His forgiveness to those who ask Him for the forgiveness of their sins without persisting in committing them.
In both Sahihs, there is a hadith in which, from the words of Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, it is reported that the prophet (ﷺ) said:
“One servant committed a sin and said: “My Lord, I have sinned, forgive me!”
Allah Almighty said: "My servant knows that he has a Lord who forgives sin and punishes for it, and I have forgiven My servant."
After that (this slave) remained (in a similar position) as long as Allah pleased, and then again committed a sin ... "
- and the Prophet (ﷺ) said the same thing that has already been given above.
In the version of this hadeeth cited by Muslim, it is reported that on the third occasion, Allah Almighty said:
“I have forgiven My servant, let him do what he wants!”
This means that he asked for forgiveness every time he committed a sin. Clearly, the implication here is that asking for forgiveness should involve giving up persistence in committing sins. A perfect request for forgiveness, which results in forgiveness, implies a renunciation of such persistence. Allah has praised the people who act in this way and promised them forgiveness, which inspires hope for sincere repentance of the repentant. One of the knowers said: "If asking for forgiveness does not lead to the right repentance of a person, this means that his request for forgiveness is insincere."
As for the request for forgiveness spoken by the tongue, when the heart of a person persists in sin, then this is an appeal to Allah only in form, which He will answer if He wills, and which He will reject if He wills. However, one can still hope for an answer, especially if such an appeal comes from a heart that has felt the weight of its sins, or if it turns out that the words of this appeal are pronounced at a time when the appeals are answered, for example, before dawn, after adhan, during time of performance of obligatory prayers and in other similar cases. However, being persistent can prevent you from getting a response.
In the Musnad, there is a hadith in which, from the words of Abdullah, may Allah be pleased with him, it is reported that the prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Woe to those who persist in what they do, knowing (that they commit sin)!"
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) is reported to have said: “The one who repents of a sin is like one who did not commit it at all, and the one who asks for forgiveness for a sin, but continues to sin, is like one who mocks Allah.” This message is given by Ibn Abu-d-Dunya.
It is also reported that Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "It can be considered that the one who says:" I ask Allah's forgiveness "is lying, and then returns (to what he did)."

9. Repentance of liars
If a person says: "I seek forgiveness from Allah and offer Him my repentance"- but with his heart he persists in sin, which means that he utters false words and commits a sin, since in fact he does not repent, but since he does not repent, it is not permissible for him to declare this, but it is more fitting to say: "O Allah, truly, I ask You for forgiveness, accept my repentance."
/ Allahumma, inni astagfiru-kya, fa-tub "alayya/
There is reason to believe that such a person will be severely punished, since he is like a person who did not sow, but hopes to reap a harvest, or one who hopes to have a child without being married.

10. Repentance and promise
All ulema agree that a penitent slave can be said: "I offer my repentance to Allah"
/ Atubu ila-Llahi /,
- promising his Lord not to return to disobedience in the future, since in such cases a firm determination is required.

11. Frequent requests for forgiveness
Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“I swear by Allah, verily, I ask Allah for forgiveness and offer my repentance to Him more than seventy times a day.”
(Al-Bukhari.)
Luqman is reported to have said to his son: "O son, train your tongue to repeat the words:" O Allah, forgive me "- for, verily, Allah has such periods of time when He does not reject (requests) of the asker."
Al Hassan said: "Seek forgiveness from Allah often in your homes, at your tables, while on your roads, in your markets, at your meetings and wherever you are, because, indeed, you do not know when this forgiveness will be sent down."
In the book of an-Nasa" and "Amalu-l-yaum wa-l-lay-la" / Matters of the night and day / there is a hadith in which it is reported that Abu Hurairah, may Allah be pleased with him, said: "I did not see no one to repeat the words “I ask Allah for forgiveness and offer Him my repentance” / Astagfiru-Allah wa atubu ilyai-hi / more often than the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ)".
And in Sunan there is a hadith in which it is reported that Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: "Usually, during one meeting, we counted that the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), said a hundred times:"My Lord, forgive me and accept my repentance; verily, You are the Receiving Repentance, the Forgiving."
/Rabbi-gfir whether wa tub "alayya, inna-kya Anta-t-Tavvabu-l-Gafuru./

12. The most worthy of requests for forgiveness.
It is advisable to add to the requests for forgiveness something other than the words of the prophet, (ﷺ), who said:
“I ask Allah for forgiveness and offer Him my repentance.”
/Astaghfiru-Allah wa atubu ilyai-hi/
It is reported that one day Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, heard a man say: "I ask Allah for forgiveness and offer Him my repentance", - told him:
"O Humaik, say (also):"... the repentance of one who himself can bring neither benefit nor harm to himself (and does not manage) neither life, nor death, nor resurrection."
"/...taubata man la yamliku li-nafsi-khi naf "an, wa la darran, wa la mautan, wa la hayatan wa la nushuran./"
It is reported that once al-Awza" and asked about a person who asks Allah for forgiveness, saying:
"I ask for petitions from the Great Allah, besides whom there is no other god, the Living, the Eternal, and I offer my repentance to Him"
/ Astagfiru-Llaha-l- "Azyma allazi la ilaha illya Hua, -l-Khayya-l-Kayyu-ma, wa atubu ilyai-hi/.
(Al-Awza" and) said: "Verily, this is good, but let him also say:"My Lord forgive me"
"/Rabbi-gfir li/ - so that this request for forgiveness is complete."
The fact that the Prophet (ﷺ) uttered the same words is reported in the hadiths cited by Abu Dawood, at-Tirmidhi and other muhaddis.
However, the best and most worthy of all kinds of requests for forgiveness, in other words, the request for which the greatest reward is due and which is most often accepted, is such a request that a person begins by praising his Lord, after which he proceeds to confess his sin, and then asks Allah for forgiveness, using the words that the Messenger of Allah uttered in such cases, (ﷺ).
It is narrated from the words of Shaddad bin Aus, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “When you ask Allah for a petition, it is best to say:
"O Allah, You are my Lord, and there is no god but You, You created me, and I am Your slave, and I will remain faithful to You and believe in Your promises as long as I have the strength. I resort to You from the evil of that, what I have done, I acknowledge the mercy that You have shown me, and I acknowledge my sin. Forgive me, for, truly, no one forgives sins but You! Al-Bukhari)
/ Allahumma, Anta Rabbi, la ilaha illa Anta, halyakta-ni va and on "abdu-kya, wa she" ala "ahdi-kya wa wa" di-kya ma-stata "tu.
A "uzu bi-kya min sharri masana" tu, abu "u la-kya bi-ni" mati-kya "alayya, wa abu" u bi-zanbi, fa-gfir li, fa-inna-hu la yagfiru-z -zunuba illa Anta!/

13. Seeking forgiveness for. those sins that a person does not know about
If a person commits many sins and bad deeds, not paying attention to many of them, and in the end it turns out that it is no longer possible to count them, let him ask Almighty and Great Allah for forgiveness for those sins that Allah Almighty knows about.
Shaddad bin Aws, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet said:
“I resort to You from the evil of what You know, and I ask You for the good of what You know, and I ask You for forgiveness for what You know about, verily, You know best about the hidden!”
/ A "uzu bi-kya min sharri ma ta" lamu, wa as "alu-kya min khairi ma ta" lamu, wa astagfiru-kya mi-ma ta "lamu, ina-kya Anta" Al-lamu-l-guiyub ! /
And, verily, Allah knows everything and everything is accounted for by Him, because Allah, the Exalted, said:
"... on the Day when Allah will resurrect them all and tell them what they did. Allah will count (their deeds), which they will forget...""Altercation", 6.

14. The fruits of asking for forgiveness
A person turning to Allah Almighty feels that he is seeking refuge in the Forgiving, Merciful, Rich, Generous, Knowing and Meek, as a result of which his heart calms down, he feels joy, his concern and sorrow leave him, he rejoices in the mercy and favor of Allah Almighty, his soul is filled with optimism, and the feeling of despair is unfamiliar to him.
It is narrated from al-Agarr al-Muzani that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"Verily, it happens that my heart is distracted," and, verily, I ask Allah for forgiveness a hundred times a day.(Muslim)
Qatadah said: "Verily, this Qur'an points out to you your disease and the medicine for you. As for your disease, it is sins, and as for the medicine for you, then it is asking for forgiveness."
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, said: "Blessed is he who finds in his book (a record of) a multitude of requests for forgiveness."
Abu-l-Minkhal said: "There has never been a slave lying in his grave, a neighbor more desirable to him than numerous requests for forgiveness."
Someone said: "Indeed, the support of sinners is only crying and asking for forgiveness, and therefore let the one who is preoccupied with his sins often ask for forgiveness."
It is also possible that one of the results of asking for forgiveness is that a person's tongue ceases to utter other words, due to which his soul itself tends to indulgence, forgiveness and good manners.
Hudhaifah, may Allah be pleased with him, reported: "(Once) I said:" O Messenger of Allah, verily, I am too sharp on the tongue, and mainly my family suffers from this, "
To which the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“You do not ask Allah for forgiveness, O Hudhaifah, but I truly ask Allah for forgiveness and repent to Him a hundred times during the day and night.”(Ahmad)

15. Requests for forgiveness made by those who have reason to believe that they commit few sins
A person who pays more attention to his sins can approach those who commit little of them, getting them to ask for forgiveness for him. So, Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, asked the children to ask Allah for forgiveness (of his sins), at the same time saying to them: "Indeed, you have committed no sins."
As for Abu Hurayrah, may Allah be pleased with him, he said to the children of scribes who studied the Qur'an:
"Say: 'O Allah, forgive Abu Hurairah', - pronouncing the word " Amine after their prayer.

16. It is necessary to expect only good things from Allah, considering that only He can forgive sins. A believing slave who asks his Lord for forgiveness must necessarily expect only good things from Allah, being convinced that He will forgive him his sin. It is reported in one of the holy (qudsi) hadiths that the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Allah Almighty says: “I am what My servant thinks of Me, so let him think of Me what he wants.” (Ad-Darimi)
In another version of this hadeeth, the Prophet (ﷺ) is reported to have said:
“Think nothing of Allah except what is good.” (Ibn Rajab)
One of the strongest reasons why a servant of Allah can earn forgiveness is the lack of hope that if he commits a sin, anyone other than his Lord will be able to forgive him, and the knowledge that no one but Him does not forgive sins and does not punish for them.
Speaking about the believers, Allah Almighty said:
"To those who did something unworthy or offended themselves, and then remembered Allah, asked for forgiveness for their sins - and who can forgive sins except Allah?""Family of Imran", 135.
In both Sahihs there is a hadeeth which reports that Abdullah bin Amr, may Allah be pleased with them both, said:
"(One day) Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, said:
"O Messenger of Allah, teach me such a supplication with which I would turn to Allah during prayer."
(The Prophet, ﷺ) said:
“Say: “O Allah, verily, I have offended myself many times, and no one but You forgives sins! Forgive me, and grant me Your forgiveness and have mercy on me, truly, You are Forgiving, Merciful!”
/ Allahumma, inni zalyamtu naf-si zulman kasiran, wa la yagfiru-z-zunuba illa Anta, fa-gfir li magfiratan min "indi-kya va-rham-ni, inna-kya Anta-l-Gafuru-r-Rahimu! /
And it is obligatory to expect only good things from Allah, when it is most likely that a person’s life span is already coming to an end, and he is close to meeting with Allah, so that the hope of forgiveness prevails over everything else.

17. Fear and Hope
In order for hope to come true, fear is also necessary.
And in order to be saved, a person needs to combine fear and hope with each other, not being limited to just one, since only hope can turn into cunning, and only fear can turn into despair, but both are worthy of blame.
The Maliki believe that if a person is healthy, then fear should prevail in him, and if he is sick, then hope. The Shafiites believe that a healthy person should have both equally, so that sometimes he looks at his own shortcomings and fears, and sometimes looks at the generosity of Allah Almighty and harbors hope. In a sick person, hope should prevail over fear, because the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
“Let none of you, when dying, expect anything but good from the Almighty and Great Allah.”(Muslim)
Having fallen ill with the disease from which he later died, Imam ash-Shafi "and, may Allah have mercy on him, recited the following verses:
"When my heart hardened and my paths narrowed,
I have made hope a ladder leading to Your forgiveness.
My sin seemed to me great, but when I compared it
with Your forgiveness, my Lord, it turned out that Your forgiveness is greater."
Perhaps this is precisely what explains why the hadith we are considering completes these selected hadiths and is an addition to forty.

18. Forgiveness is based on monotheism
Among the reasons for forgiveness is the confession of monotheism, and this reason is the main one, for the one who does not profess it cannot hope for forgiveness, while the one who professes monotheism is granted the main thing from inspiring hope for forgiveness.
Allah Almighty said:
"Indeed, Allah will not forgive the worship of others along with Him, but will forgive what is less than this to whom He wills...""Women", 48.
Verily, sins appear insignificant in comparison with the light of worship of Almighty and Great Allah alone, and therefore the one who, together with his monotheism, brings so many sins that they fill the whole earth, Almighty and Great Allah will meet with forgiveness, which will cover all these sins. However, all this depends on the will and mercy of Allah Almighty, and if He wishes, He will forgive a person, and if He wishes otherwise, He will punish him for his sins.

19. Confessing monotheism awaits paradise
This means that he will not remain in the fire forever, but will be taken out of there, and then enter into paradise. Moreover, he will not be cast into hell just as the unbelievers are thrown there, nor will he remain there forever, just as the infidels remain there.
The Prophet (ﷺ) is reported to have said:
“The one who will say: “There is no god but Allah” will come out of the fire, having in his heart blessings even for the weight of a grain of wheat.”(Al-Bukhari.)

20. Salvation from fire
If the monotheism of the slave and his sincerity towards Allah are genuine and he observes all the necessary conditions with his heart, tongue and other parts of the body, and in the case when he is close to death, only with his heart and tongue, this makes it obligatory to forgive all his past sins and complete deliverance from hell. It is reported that once the prophet, (ﷺ), asked Mu "az bin Jabal, may Allah be pleased with him:
“Do you know what Allah has the right to expect from His servants?”
He replied: "Allah and His Messenger know better about it."
(The Prophet, ﷺ) said:
“He has the right to expect that (slaves) worship only Him and nothing else. Do you know what they have a right to expect from Him?”
He replied: "Allah and His Messenger know better about it."
(Then the Prophet (ﷺ) said:
"The fact that He will not subject them to torment" (Al-Bukhari.)
It is also narrated from the words of Shaddad bin Aws and Ubada bin as-Samit, may Allah be pleased with them both, that once the Prophet (ﷺ) said to his companions:
"Raise your hands and say, 'There is no god but Allah.'"
They said: “And we raised our hands (and held them like that) for a while, after which the Messenger of Allah, (ﷺ), lowered his hand and said:
“Praise be to Allah! O Allah, you directed me with these words, and ordered me to pronounce them, and promised me paradise for them and, verily, You do not break the promises!
And then he (ﷺ) said:
“Rejoice, for truly, the Almighty and Great Allah has already forgiven you!” (Ahmad)
And all this is the result of the priority we have already mentioned on repentance and good deeds, because Allah Almighty said:
"... except for those who repent, believe and begin to do righteous deeds. So Allah will replace their bad deeds with good ones, because Allah is Forgiving, Merciful." "Distinction" 70.

21. Pure monotheism
When a person pronounces the words of monotheism with his heart, everything is removed from him, except for Allah Almighty, in relation to whom the heart feels love, reverence, reverence, whom it fears, in whom it hopes and trusts. And as a result of this, all his sins and transgressions are burned, even if in their quantity they are like shreds of sea foam. It is also possible that these words will turn them into good deeds, and the light of love for his Lord will rid his heart of everything else, and the prophet (ﷺ) said:
“None of you will believe until he loves Allah and His Messenger above all else.”(Al-Bukhari.)
As for the love for the Prophet, (ﷺ), then its source is love for the Almighty and Great Allah.
By the grace of Allah Almighty and with His help, the commentaries on the Forty Hadiths have been completed.
May Allah bless our Prophet Muhammad, his family and his companions and may He welcome them many times until the Day of Resurrection and praise be to Allah, the Lord of the worlds!
