Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Provoking Shaytan


Mutarrif (RA) reported that his father said, "I went in the delegation of the Banu 'Amir (RA) to the Prophet (peace be upon him). They said, 'You are our master.' He said, 'The Master is Allah.' They said, 'The best of us in excellence and the greatest of us in generosity.' He said, 'Say what you like, but do not let Shaytan provoke you.'"

(Al-Adab Al-Mufrad, Book 9, Hadith 56)

Honouring or respecting someone does not mean elevating their status, since Allah swt is the Most High, Most Merciful. He alone deserves our praise and when we elevate another to His state, it is Shaytan.

Allah's Apostle replied, "The night prayer is offered as two Rakat followed by two Rakat and so on and if anyone is afraid of the approaching dawn (Fajr prayer) he should pray one Raka and this will be a Witr for all the Rakat which he has prayed before." Nafi' told that 'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to say Taslim between (the first) two Rakat and (the third) odd one in the Witr prayer, when he wanted to attend to a certain matter (during that interval between the Rakat). Volume 2, Book 16, Number 106: Narrated Ibn 'Abbas: Once I passed the night in the house of Maimuna (his aunt). I slept across the bed while Allah's Apostle and his wife slept length-wise. The Prophet slept till midnight or nearly so and woke up rubbing his face and recited ten verses from Surat "Aal-Imran." Allah...

١٨ صفر ١٤٤٢ 18th Safar 1442🇳🇬 6th October 2020

بسم اللّٰه الرحمٰن الرحيم  إِنَّ ٱلدِّينَ عِندَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلْإِسْلَٰمُ وَمَا ٱخْتَلَفَ ٱلَّذِينَ أُوتُوا۟ ٱلْكِتَٰبَ إِلَّا مِنۢ بَعْدِ مَا جَآءَهُمُ ٱلْعِلْمُ بَغْيًۢا بَيْنَهُمْ وَمَن يَكْفُرْ بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَرِيعُ ٱلْحِسَابِ Truly, the religion with Allah is Islam. Those who were given the Scripture (Jews and Christians) did not differ except, out of mutual jealousy, after knowledge had come to them. And whoever disbelieves in the Ayat (proofs, evidences, verses, signs, revelations, etc.) of Allah, then surely, Allah is Swift in calling to account. Surah Aali Imran (آل عمران), verses:  19

Today's Beautiful Hadith is about Use of Siwak

Narrated Abu Huraira (RA): Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "Were I not afraid that it would be hard on my followers, I would have ordered them to use the siwak (as obligatory, for cleaning the teeth).  (Bukhari Vol. 9, Book 90, Hadith 346) Alhamdulillah that our Prophet SAW has made the religion easy for us to follow, without unnecessary burdens.
