The next Hadith for today's Hadith number 261 provisions for the
secrets are eaten by mountain movie and if no matter in this the
Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam says either the Hulten
adult Murray further fistula when a fistula houfy Actually, finally
kala Yara che and when you taught by a bit of sci fi in a vertical,
your audition where you thought he will be enough see
what that means when you go to visit the URL, the Promise of
Allah Simpson when you go to visit the URL, he's expressing some of
the add up for visiting the ill people expressed belief that the
person will live long. So essentially it say some positive
words to him that don't worry. May Allah subhanaw taala give you a
long life. May Allah subhanho wa Taala make you better. May Allah
subhanho wa Taala give you greater endurance, so it's to give those
kind of doors. Then the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said
that although you're making such a dua is not necessarily going to
avert anything that is supposed to come to that person, that if there
is an illness or death that is supposed to come to the person
very soon, this cannot revert it averted.
It will comfort the person so that comfort is taken into
consideration here. And because we don't really know and you know,
you might be saying that, well, why could Why should you be saying
that when you don't really know? Well, that's the whole point. You
can take a positive aspects of something that is unknown. So it's
unknown when the person is going to die is permissible to say to
the person that may Allah give you a longer life, Inshallah, don't
worry you live longer. So it's to say those kinds of words to make
them feel better, so that they can feel good and when they feel good,
then they can act better. They can have better opinion about Allah
subhanaw taala as well. When a person becomes depressed and
shaytaan sometimes has a inroads with to that person and that's why
it's important to do it that way.
So saying like no problem, inshallah you will be better soon
or May Allah increase your life cure you grungy well being
be easy with yourself cheer up.
Because, for example, somebody came to Harun Rashid, the
ambassador Khalif, when he was ill, and said to him, Be easy with
yourself and cheer up
for being healthy does not preclude death.
And illness does not preclude long life.
What do you say to him, he said, Be easy with yourself, go easy on
yourself and cheer up. Because
even if you're healthy, that doesn't preclude death, a healthy
person can die as well. And likewise,
if a person is ill, it doesn't mean that the person is going to
have a short life, he could continue to have a long life. So
he was trying to remind him that being healthy or ill is not the
cause for death. So be cheerful, you're not going to necessarily
die. So it's kind of a very clever way to put it 100 Rashid said, By
Allah you have cheered me up, and you revive my spirit.
There is another Dourado, which just that he has related that when
you make dua,
then although it can't avert the decree as exactly as what the
Prophet salallahu Salam said here, but what it mentions is that it
remains locked into battle with that decree.
So that's a bit of a gray area that we will never know about,
because it's a the aspect of God and decree that we can never know
about.
The only Allah subhanaw taala has full knowledge of these things.
But we're told to make dua we're told to make it in this case,
though, we're just saying good words to the person to make them
feel better to get them out of their misery, the way they're
feeling down, making them feeling a bit better. That's what this
that's what this hadith is encouraging
