Abu Taymiyyah – Sincerity Gems From The Salaf Powerful Reminder

I conclude with something that happened between Afuzayl

ibn Ayyab, and Sufyanath Thawr. One time they

came together and they sat,

They sat down and they started revising

that which would soften their hearts.

Each one of them softened the other person's

heart and they started crying. Sufianath Thore said,

O Abu Ali, this was his kunya, I

hope that this is a sitting. Sufianath Thore

is saying this I hope that this is

a sitting where we gain the barakah, the

blessing and also the rahman of Allah subhanahu

wa ta'ala. So for Dail ibn Ayaadi responded

back to Sufyan athuri and he said to

him, I fear that this is a sitting

that we have sat,

is most harmful to all of us, And

there isn't any sitting that we have sat

before that is more harmful than this one.

Look at what the first one said, and

look at the second one. He's fearing that

this masjid might now take him into the

* fire. Why? So he said to him,

isn't it so that

I ended up telling you of the best

type of reminder that I can give,

and you did the exact same thing as

all, and then you beautified yourself to me,

and I beautified myself to you with speech.

Because sometimes

what the shaytan could end up doing to

a person when he's in a gathering,

mention the best type of knowledge that you

have. So the people start realizing enter in

the shaykh that you have something from the

tala ubat of the Shaitan

by mentioning the best thing that you know

so that people become impressed. So now here

is

saying to him, I really fear from this

majlis is going to be the most harmful

to me. Fearing that he just only spoke

in order to impress him. Fearing the type

of what? Having spoken to him in order

to impress him. And because of this,

he feared for himself.

And through that,

Sufyanath Thawr alhamuww ta'ala he started crying more

than the first time. So the sheikh he

comments, who even thinks like this today?

Look at the way they thought, and look

at the way we as people think. So

brothers and sisters, wallahi subhanahu wa ta'ala,

he has chosen us from so many people.

Just ask yourself how many people do you

know who are not praying, who are not

fasting, who are not doing the Ibadat,

they are

He's in darkness above darkness,

Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala chose you to fast,

Allah Azzawajal He chose us to pray,

and then we come on Yomul Qiyam, and

we have absolutely nothing, maybe because there was

a problem of the niyyah.
