The theme is still the etiquette of Salah,
so I'll be talking about each night about
a different etiquette, or the night that I'm
doing my Khawater.
And I'm not going to go through a
specific sequence, so it'll just be sporadic, but
it'll be about the etiquette of Salah before,
during, after.
Kind of surrounding that, and I'll try to
tackle this topic to the best of my
ability.
And in this hadith, it's a nice, it's
a hadith that's well known, and I want
to just make sure I share it with
you.
Hopefully the younger people are listening to me
as well.
So what he said in this hadith is
that, whoever performs Tasbeeh, meaning saying SubhanAllah, 33
times after any Salah, and then Hamidullah says
Alhamdulillah 33 times after it, and then Uqabbalallah
says Allahu Akbar 33 times after it, adding
up to 99, and then he says as
the 100th Tasbeeh, or the 100th act of
invocation, he says the Tahlil, the full form,
but the hadith in Muslim does not have
Yuhyi Uyumit in it, just to be accurate.
You can say it, obviously there's nothing wrong
with that at all, I'm just saying that
it's not actually there in this specific narration,
whether that was by mistake or correctly by
the Sahabi who narrated it, we don't know,
but you're welcome to do either.
But the wording in Muslim is La ilaha
illallah wahdahu la sharika lah, lahul mulku lahul
hamd, wahuwa ala kulli shay'in qadeer.
The Prophet ﷺ says, ghufirat khataya, their sins,
this person's sins will be forgiven, even if
the quantity of their sin is like the
foam of the ocean.
And this is just the way the Arab
would use this simile, or the analogy, to
say that it's unmeasurable, it's intangible.
So much of it is not something that
can be calculated or counted.
And this is not talking about, obviously, kabair,
that require tawbah, or hukooq an-nas, that
require returning them.
This is talking about general sin, the taqseer,
the shortcomings that occur from us on a
daily basis as we go through our lives.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala is aware that
we have these shortcomings, that our intentions aren't
always great, that our sincerity is not always
there.
That we listen to things we shouldn't listen
to, we look at things we shouldn't look
at, we say things we shouldn't say, we
behave in ways that are not perfect.
So we make these mistakes as we go
along, these shortcomings just happen as we go
along.
So Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala prepared all
of these acts of worship, the fara'at
and the sunan, so that you can continuously
wash your plate.
Just keep on washing it, you're eating on
it, it has residue of food, and you're
just washing it.
If you don't wash it for a long
time, it's hard to get them off, so
you have to keep on doing it.
So these little gems the Prophet ﷺ gives
us, are there so that we continuously have
a way to remove these sins that we
don't pay attention to.
The sins that you don't even pay attention
to, the things that you do, and then
you're just not, with the clarity of mind
to recognize that you're doing these actions.
Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala have them there
for you, so that He can forgive these
sins for you.
So that you don't have to come Yawm
al-Qiyam and answer for every small detail
that you fall in.
And it's a beautiful thing to do after
Salah.
And if you can't do the 33, like
say if you're young and you're lazy, and
you don't want to do 33 and 33
and 33, which only takes maybe a minute
and a half on top of it.
Then there's another hadith in the collection of
Imam Ibn Majan Tabarani, that the Prophet ﷺ
points out 10.
He points out, سَبَّحَ اللَّهَ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَكَبَّرَهُ
عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَحَمِدَهُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ قَالَ لَا
إِلَٰهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ So there's a hadith that
allows for 10 and 10 and 10 and
then the tahleel.
But honestly, the 100, you can do it
as you're walking outside.
Because it takes less than a minute, it's
less than 2 minutes in general.
And this is the wording.
Your sins will be forgiven even if they
are like the foam of the ocean.
The foam of the ocean.
سَبَّحَ اللَّهُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ وَكَبَّرَهُ عَشْرَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ
قَالَ لَا إِلَٰهُ
