For tomorrow.
Yeah. He
says in his book entitled
in the gardens of the righteous in the
chapter of the virtue of remembering
Allah and encouraging
others to do so.
We actually talked about yesterday in the the
chapter of,
good manners.
But here, this is the chapter we're actually
on. It's a remembrance of Allah
whenever the prophet
concluded his prayer, he would beg forgiveness from
Allah thrice
and then would recite
which translates to mean, oh, Allah, you are
the granter of security and security comes from
you.
You are blood you are the blessing,
and owe you and owe you who have
majesty and nobility.
Al Ozai, one of the narrators of this
hadith,
was asked how is forgiveness to be sought?
He answered, the prophet
used to say,
I beseech forgiveness
from you, oh Allah. And this hadith is
recorded by Muslim and Ahmed and then Nasayid
and Islam.
This hadith is,
alim jid, and it's a it's a great
hadith because many of us say this after
our
prayer. When we are done, as soon as
we say, and
we say,
then
Is there anything else that one can say
after the salah?
What else is there?
Right?
To the very end of it. So there
are numerous
things to say after the salawat al kams,
after the,
5 prayers. And this is just one of
the hadith. And make no mistake
that whatever we say from the adkar
is worried. It is present. It is found
in the Sahih
Sunnah of the prophet
This is important
because whenever we remember Allah
there's the dua, the generic dua you can
make to call on Allah with whatever hijack,
whatever needs that you have.
But if there is anything
that is at a specific time or a
specific number,
that is where it is it is relied
we rely upon
authentic sources and proof.
So if I say, if you say this
6,000 times,
that would I my next question should be
what?
Proof.
Where is your proof? Not in a ridiculing
and not in a, you know,
a rigid
way,
but we ask, is there any authentic evidence
for that? Because if you say 6,000,
I may say 5,024
because it feels good to me. And if
we open that door, then what can possibly
happen?
Right. You you start to make some scholars
would even say you're doing your own sharia
because you are creating a systematic
approach to get to Allah at a specific
time that hasn't been legislated by Allah subhanahu
wa ta'ala. And if anyone can do that,
then we have lost the integrity
of
revelation, the integrity of prophethood, the integrity
of following the sunnah of the prophet sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam. Because
when the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam legislates
this, make no mistake that that is given
to him by
Allah.
That's what we need to remember. That is
why this area
in in regards to this type of,
approach
is fairly rigid when speaking about,
saying this at this time or this particular
place or this amount of numbers. So for
instance,
How many times do we say that?
10 times. When?
Primarily after the fajr and after the Maghrib
prayer. Why is it you know, can we
say it after the other prayers? Yes. There's
nothing wrong because it's generically good. But if
someone says, no. You have to say it.
You have to say it after this prayer.
Or there is the virtue that has been
processed on between,
you know, after Fajr and after Maghreb, we
associate to other than that, that's where there
could be slight,
disapproval of that. But generically saying it, there's
nothing wrong because it is khair. It is
good. Okay? So the prophet,
it's.
He said the prophet,
after he finished
When he left from his prayer, he would
say,
So it means
after saying the istighfar 3 times, he would
say
So will the the Allah the prophet said,
oh, Allah, you are
What
does salam
mean?
Peace. Okay. What else?
Blessing, greetings,
khair.
K. What else?
So this is the name of Allah.
Salam.
Have Have you ever heard of the name
Abu Salam?
This is what we get.
So one of the names of Allah is.
So what does that mean? Allah is the
peace.
Peace
means
peace. Source of peace. Source of peace?
Okay. What else does salam mean?
Spring.
Have you ever heard nus alallahu alafiya was
salama?
So peace,
prosperity,
safety, mhmm,
good spirits,
salama. Salama means that you are in a
good state or that you are dare we
even say safe.
Because when you're in a state of peacefulness,
you are in a good state.
Right? So the it's very it's a very
comprehensive name. So Allah is the one that
is,
dare we say,
we wanna say we could say
the the one that is not peaceful,
but he is the one that is dare
we use the word sound for lack of
better words. Okay?
So the first thing is the name of
Allah. When you study the names and attributes
of Allah, the scholars always say, okay. There's
the ism
and then there's the sifa.
There's the name,
and then there's the attribute
tied to that name.
Right? So Allah is Al Hamid.
He is the praiseworthy.
The attribute that's tied to praiseworthy is what?
Hamdah. So he has the attribute of praise,
therefore,
deserving praise,
right, because of what he does. So when
Allah says a salam,
he is the one that gives
salam.
Right? Why is this important?
Because Allah gives salam to those that request
it.
When one follows the deen of Islam, this
is indirectly
requesting the pleasure of
who?
Of who?
As salam.
Who is Allah?
So when you do an action
of good and you may think of the
name of Salam. Oh, Allah bless me with
safety.
When we think of what is happening in
Gaza right now, this is one name we
can think about.
So when we after our prayer,
Right? Save those salem. This will actually be
said on the day of judgment,
That some of the the individuals in the
day of judgment will say,
if you've heard of this hadith.
This is what some of the the the
inhabitants at that time will say, salam, free
me. Make me safe. Make me safe. Safety.
Safety. So
Allah
then lost then after that he says,
You
are you are the,
you are the the blessing and you have
the majesty and nobility. So can mean security,
safety.
You are the
blessing the majesty
and the no the no and nobility.
So,
again, mentioning the name of Allah.
And what's so beautiful here is after you
conclude the salah,
you make it stilfar
and then you praise Allah.
He has blessed you with safety and security.
So right now that you are even able
to pray and to thank him is a
blessing.
Able to pray and to thank him is
a form of security.
From what?
Security from what? And this is deep, and
we'll end it here.
Hellfire? Well, okay. What else in this dunya?
Shaitan.
Shaitan.
You just finished praying. Is that an action
that shaitan wants you to do?
You just concluded your prayer and you asked
salah for forgiveness from any deficiency
from the nazala to shaytan during the salah.
That's why we say astaghfirullah. Astaghfirullah is stuff
for any deficiency that happened during the action
of Ibadah.
And then after that, you're praising a law
that made you safe throughout that process.
You understand?
And that's why he he he is a
safe the one that is is is he
grants of security, and the security comes from
him. We said,
you are a blessing.
You are blessed
because no one can do that except you
to that to that to that degree.
The majestic and the noble. And then El
Alwazarih. El Alwazarih was a was a scholar
that was,
during the time of al Hanif, actually.
And he was in,
Syria,
and he was one of the narrators.
And he mentioned he asked about this.
And how did the prophet say astaghfirullah? Because
he said he sought forgiveness
three times,
and he said he would say astaghfirullah astaghfirullah.
So that's how he would say it. So
that's that's the sunnah that we practice. After
we say
And this hadith is authentic, so know for
sure that when we say this, this is
what the prophet sallallahu alaihi wa sallam used
to do. We ask Allah to
forgive us for all of our shortcomings
outside and inside of our acts of worship.
We ask Allah to make us remember his
greatness,
in secret and in open. We ask a
salaam to grant us a salaam.
We ask the one that is a granter
security to grant us security in this life
and security from the shayateen and security in
our iman and security in our duas where
we hope and know that he will grant
it to those if we are sincere.
We ask assalam to grant salaam to our
brothers and
in to where they worship you with
