So this hadith is.

00:00:03 --> 00:00:03

It is

00:00:04 --> 00:00:06

a great hadith because it is showing

00:00:06 --> 00:00:07

the virtue

00:00:08 --> 00:00:09

of Allah

00:00:10 --> 00:00:12

from the little that we do that he

00:00:12 --> 00:00:13

will do what with it?

00:00:14 --> 00:00:15

What will he do with it?

00:00:18 --> 00:00:21

He'll increase it. He will increase it. And

00:00:21 --> 00:00:23

this can be analogous with what?

00:00:26 --> 00:00:28

Any other action of?

00:00:29 --> 00:00:29

Good.

00:00:30 --> 00:00:31

But this in particular,

00:00:31 --> 00:00:32

generally, Allah

00:00:33 --> 00:00:34

has the capacity

00:00:35 --> 00:00:36

to increase one's

00:00:37 --> 00:00:39

reward from a good deed.

00:00:39 --> 00:00:41

Right? What did the apostle

00:00:44 --> 00:00:45

say?

00:00:45 --> 00:00:47

He said that a good deed can be

00:00:47 --> 00:00:50

up to 10 times that reward.

00:00:50 --> 00:00:52

Right? And even in the hadith, it can

00:00:52 --> 00:00:54

even be even more than that.

00:00:54 --> 00:00:56

What's one of the names of Allah subhanahu

00:00:56 --> 00:00:58

wa ta'ala that is associated with what we're

00:00:58 --> 00:01:00

talking about now? What's one name?

00:01:04 --> 00:01:05

A shakur?

00:01:06 --> 00:01:08

How? What does shakur mean in English?

00:01:13 --> 00:01:16

The appreciative one. Right? So what's the connection

00:01:16 --> 00:01:18

of a shakur with this hadith?

00:01:20 --> 00:01:21

With you saying

00:01:21 --> 00:01:23

100 times and his reward is a1000.

00:01:28 --> 00:01:30

And he appreciates the effort. And because you

00:01:30 --> 00:01:32

made the effort, what?

00:01:33 --> 00:01:35

He multiplies the reward. And there's a verse

00:01:35 --> 00:01:36

in the Quran with

00:01:42 --> 00:01:44

Then Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala said in your

00:01:44 --> 00:01:45

lord proclaim that if you were to be

00:01:45 --> 00:01:47

thankful, that he will increase

00:01:48 --> 00:01:50

you. Even though Allah is shakur, he is

00:01:50 --> 00:01:54

appreciative of the effort that you make. So

00:01:54 --> 00:01:55

your his appreciation

00:01:56 --> 00:01:57

for your appreciation

00:01:57 --> 00:01:59

will increase you

00:01:59 --> 00:02:01

in many ways that we don't know. He

00:02:01 --> 00:02:03

said, I will increase you. He didn't mention

00:02:03 --> 00:02:04

in what?

00:02:06 --> 00:02:07

He didn't mention in what?

00:02:08 --> 00:02:10

Which also shows another name of Allah that

00:02:10 --> 00:02:10

Allah is.

00:02:11 --> 00:02:13

He is abundant and he gives in abundance

00:02:13 --> 00:02:15

how he wills. So the prophet

00:02:16 --> 00:02:17

is saying here, that one says,

00:02:19 --> 00:02:20

and he didn't mention

00:02:21 --> 00:02:22

where or particular

00:02:23 --> 00:02:23

time

00:02:24 --> 00:02:25

that the person says

00:02:27 --> 00:02:28

100 times.

00:02:29 --> 00:02:31

Right? They say it 100 times. Now is

00:02:31 --> 00:02:32

it that they have to say it all

00:02:32 --> 00:02:33

in one sitting

00:02:33 --> 00:02:35

or not Allahu Alam?

00:02:35 --> 00:02:36

This has been discussed.

00:02:36 --> 00:02:37

But if they

00:02:38 --> 00:02:39

say when you get in your car,

00:02:41 --> 00:02:42

just while you're driving on the way to

00:02:42 --> 00:02:44

the Masjid. And why are you

00:02:44 --> 00:02:44

saying?

00:02:47 --> 00:02:50

And why are you saying? You're glorifying Allah,

00:02:50 --> 00:02:52

and you start to think of glorious things

00:02:52 --> 00:02:53

in your life.

00:02:53 --> 00:02:54

And you

00:02:57 --> 00:03:00

say because you will receive 1,000. So when

00:03:00 --> 00:03:00

Allah

00:03:01 --> 00:03:03

receives, gives you the reward.

00:03:03 --> 00:03:05

Let's dip into this and then we'll conclude.

00:03:06 --> 00:03:08

When Allah gives you a reward, what's the

00:03:08 --> 00:03:10

manifestation of the reward?

00:03:11 --> 00:03:13

What how is it shown?

00:03:14 --> 00:03:16

Allah says, I'll reward you. So if I

00:03:16 --> 00:03:18

tell my son, I'll reward you for washing

00:03:18 --> 00:03:19

the car.

00:03:19 --> 00:03:21

I didn't mention the reward,

00:03:21 --> 00:03:23

but the most important thing is that the

00:03:23 --> 00:03:25

reward, because the reward expresses what?

00:03:30 --> 00:03:32

Appreciation of the deed, but the reward

00:03:33 --> 00:03:34

How was it done?

00:03:34 --> 00:03:36

If I say I will I will reward

00:03:36 --> 00:03:37

you

00:03:37 --> 00:03:39

for washing the car,

00:03:40 --> 00:03:42

you don't know what the reward will be.

00:03:42 --> 00:03:43

It may be money.

00:03:44 --> 00:03:45

Right? It may be a car.

00:03:46 --> 00:03:48

It may be giving you the opportunity to

00:03:48 --> 00:03:50

drive the car for a week. You don't

00:03:50 --> 00:03:51

know what the reward will be, but it

00:03:51 --> 00:03:52

will be in your what?

00:03:55 --> 00:03:56

It will be in your fortune.

00:03:57 --> 00:03:58

Right? Allow

00:03:58 --> 00:04:00

compensation, it'll be in your fortune

00:04:00 --> 00:04:02

and something that you would want.

00:04:03 --> 00:04:05

Or and this is the this is the

00:04:05 --> 00:04:06

the deep part.

00:04:06 --> 00:04:08

It may be it's something that you want

00:04:08 --> 00:04:11

and desire or maybe something that you need.

00:04:13 --> 00:04:16

And the beautiful part about that is you

00:04:16 --> 00:04:19

don't know how he will reward you. So

00:04:19 --> 00:04:21

we hear all these signs, Allah will reward

00:04:21 --> 00:04:22

you for this, Allah. When you think about

00:04:22 --> 00:04:25

it, how how how will he reward me?

00:04:25 --> 00:04:27

He didn't mention how.

00:04:27 --> 00:04:29

He didn't mention the manifestation of his reward.

00:04:30 --> 00:04:33

The manifestation can be relinquishment of a sin

00:04:34 --> 00:04:36

that you've forgotten about. We talked about this.

00:04:36 --> 00:04:37

Right? And you're not held accountable on it

00:04:37 --> 00:04:38

on the day of judgement.

00:04:39 --> 00:04:40

The relinquishment,

00:04:40 --> 00:04:42

the the reward could be a dua that

00:04:42 --> 00:04:43

was answered.

00:04:44 --> 00:04:46

The reward could be something that happened to

00:04:46 --> 00:04:47

you

00:04:48 --> 00:04:49

and

00:04:50 --> 00:04:52

there was harm waiting for you

00:04:54 --> 00:04:55

and you never knew.

00:04:56 --> 00:04:58

It could be the and that's in. We

00:04:58 --> 00:04:59

say Allah is.

00:05:00 --> 00:05:01

The mercy is withholding

00:05:01 --> 00:05:03

harm from you.

00:05:04 --> 00:05:05

There could have been so it could have

00:05:05 --> 00:05:07

been a person that said something about you.

00:05:07 --> 00:05:08

It could have been someone wanted to do

00:05:08 --> 00:05:09

something to you.

00:05:09 --> 00:05:10

You know, there was one time,

00:05:11 --> 00:05:13

a man was looking at

00:05:14 --> 00:05:15

the camera,

00:05:15 --> 00:05:18

reviewing the camera in his home, and he

00:05:18 --> 00:05:19

saw there was a thief.

00:05:20 --> 00:05:22

The thief come to his home,

00:05:22 --> 00:05:25

and he was about to try to something

00:05:25 --> 00:05:26

stopped him. Something

00:05:27 --> 00:05:29

stopped him. He turned around, and he left.

00:05:31 --> 00:05:33

It's Al Hafid, the protection of Allah. So

00:05:33 --> 00:05:35

we don't know the way Allah rewards. The

00:05:35 --> 00:05:38

most important thing is Allah said he would.

00:05:38 --> 00:05:40

The prophet said he would, and that should

00:05:40 --> 00:05:42

be the incentive for the Muslim

00:05:43 --> 00:05:45

to do the action of. And then lastly,

00:05:45 --> 00:05:47

looking at the the minute shave that how

00:05:47 --> 00:05:49

small this, how easy this is for us,

00:05:49 --> 00:05:50

it's just vocalizing.

00:05:53 --> 00:05:55

So and while you're saying it,

00:05:56 --> 00:05:58

I hopefully, by the 10th time you're saying

00:05:58 --> 00:06:00

it, you're thinking about it,

00:06:00 --> 00:06:02

and you think of the glory of Allah

00:06:02 --> 00:06:04

So may Allah make us of those that

00:06:04 --> 00:06:07

glorify him in secret and in open. May

00:06:07 --> 00:06:09

Allah reward us for our efforts of coming

00:06:09 --> 00:06:11

here to the masjid and listening to the

00:06:11 --> 00:06:13

Quran and listening to the words of Allah

00:06:13 --> 00:06:15

and saying the name of Allah Subhanahu Wa

00:06:15 --> 00:06:16

Ta'ala continuously.
