Does my mental health matter? That's a question I'm often asked and maybe during this video, you can help me answer it. One day while Abu Bakr radi Allahu anhu was standing on the pulpit addressing the community. He started to cry and said, the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam stood here or I'm standing on the first year after Hendra, Abu bakkar, Ruthie Lohan, who then wept for some time, and then said, I asked Allah for pardon an overall well being, for people are never given anything after certainty of faith that is better than well being. Then Abu Bakr radi Allahu Han, who said that he witnessed when our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wasallam mounted the pulpit, and

00:00:51 --> 00:01:00

then wept sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, and while his tears were flowing down his blessed face sallallahu alayhi wa sallam he said,

00:01:01 --> 00:01:12

One day, the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam entered the masjid and a man from the unsired named abou Mama halabi. Allahu anhu was sitting there. And our beloved Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam noticed that this companion looked like something was off, like he was in distress.

00:10:00 --> 00:10:49

I said, O Messenger of Allah teach me something that I may ask Allah subhanaw taala for. Now think about this. This is one of the most beloved people to the prophet SAW Selim. And what he responds is going to be super important. He sallallahu alayhi wa sallam said, ask Allah for half year, while being then an ambassador below and who said that he came back to the prophet SAW Selim The next day, and said, O Messenger of Allah teach me something that I may ask Allah for. The Prophet salallahu alayhi wa sallam responded, Oh, hi bass, oh uncle of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi Salaam, ask Allah for Latvia in this world and in the hereafter. And in another narration, a man

00:10:49 --> 00:10:56

came to the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam and said, messenger of Allah, what is the best supplication?

00:10:57 --> 00:11:23

And he sallallahu alayhi Salaam answered, asking Allah for forgiveness and well being in this world and the next. And so the man came back the following day and asked the prophet SAW them again a prophet of Allah, what's the best supplication? What's the best until hat? And he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam answered asking Allah for forgiveness, and well being in this world and the next.
