7 APRIL HOTD - He Who Has Two Habits Will Be Reckoned By Allah As Amongst The Grateful & The Patient

Hadith
'Abdullah ibn 'Amr Radiyallahu 'anhuma narrates: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying: He who has two habits will be reckoned by Allah as amongst the grateful and the patient. And if he does not possess these two habits, he will not be reckoned by Allah as amongst the grateful and patient; He who sees his superior in Islam and follows him, and sees one inferior in worldly things and then expresses his thanks to Allah, that out of His Mercy and Grace Allah has kept him in a better state. Then Allah reckons him amongst the grateful and patient. And he who looks to his inferiors concerning religion, and looks to one superior in worldly riches, and expresses sorrow for getting less, then Allah will not record him as amongst the grateful and patient. (Tirmidi: 2512)

06 APRIL (HOTD) - Frequently Remember The Destroyer Of Pleasures, That Is, Death

Hadith of the Day
Abu Sa'id Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, while entering his Masjid saw some persons laughing in a manner that their teeth were visible. He said: Behold! If you frequently remember the destroyer of pleasures, that is, death, it will distract you from what I am seeing (your excessive laughing). So remember frequently the destroyer of pleasures, that is, death. For verily, not a day passes upon the grave but that it cries out saying: I am the house of exile; and I am the house of loneliness; and I am the house of dust; and I am the house of worms. When a believing slave of Allah is buried, the grave says to him: You are most welcome! Indeed, you were the most beloved to me of all those who used to walk upon me. So now, when you have been placed in my charge and you have been brought to me, you will see my excellent treatment. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam then said: So the grave expands for him as far as the eye can see; and a door of Paradise is opened for him. And when an immoral slave of Allah or an unbeliever is buried; the grave says to him: You are most unwelcome! Indeed you were the most despised by me of all those who used to walk upon me. So today, as you have been placed in my charge, and you have been brought to me, you will soon see my treatment towards you. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: The grave then closes on him until its one side meets the other, and his ribs get intermingled; Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam then (illustrating) placed the fingers (of one hand) between the fingers (of the other hand). He added: Allah sends upon him seventy serpents; if one of them were to breathe upon the earth, it would not produce any crops as long as the world remained; they will go on biting and lacerating him until he is brought forth for his Account on the Day of Resurrection. Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: The grave is either a garden from among the gardens of Paradise or a pit from among the pits of Hell. (Tirmidhi: 2460)

02 APRIL (HOTD) - Verily I See What You Do Not See, And I Hear What You Do Not Hear

Hadith
Abu Dhar Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: Verily I see what you do not see, and I hear what you do not hear. The sky creaks (with the Greatness and Magnificence of Allah), and it is its right to creak! There is not, therein, the space of four fingers, but that an angel is lowering its forehead in prostration to Allah. By Allah! If you knew what I know, you would have laughed little and wept much, and you would not have taken pleasure from your wives in beds, and you would have gone out to the tops of the lofty heights, supplicating fervently to Allah. Indeed, I wish that I were (but) a plant to be plucked (from the earth)! (Tirmidhi: 2312)

Hadith of the Day
Muslim Ibn Harith At-tamimiyi Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam told him secretly: When you complete the Maghrib Salat, then recite seven times this Du'a: Allahumma Ajirna Minan Naar (O Allah! Protect me from the Fire). After saying this if you happen to die the same night, you will be protected from the Fire. When you have offered your Fajr Salat repeat the same. For undoubtedly, if you happen to die the same day, you will be protected from the Fire. (Abu Dawud: 5079)
 
Note: Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam by giving this advice secretly wanted to stress its importance.

25 MARCH (HOTD) - He Who Offers The Salat Of Two Cool Times, Enters Paradise

Hadith of the Day
Abu Musa Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: He who offers the Salat of two cool times, enters Paradise. (Bukhari: 574)
 
Note: The Salat of two cool times refers to 'Asr, the beginning of the cooler hours of the day, and Fajr which is at the end of the cool hours of the night. Fajr Salat is difficult to offer because of the tendency to go to sleep at this time, and 'Asr is difficult because this is the time of intense worldly pre-occupation. He who is constant in performing these two Salats will more easily maintain the other three. (Mirqat-ul-Mafatih)

24 MARCH (HOTD) - One Who Leaves His House Having Wudu To Offer Obligatory Salat

Hadith of the Day
Abu Umama Radiyallahu 'anhu narrates that Rasullullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam said: One who leaves his house having Wudu to offer obligatory Salat, his reward is like that of a person performing Hajj in the state of Ihram. And the one who goes out, bearing the hardship, solely to offer Salat Ad-Duha, he gets the reward as that of a person performing Umrah. And the offering of Salat after a previous Salat uninterrupted by any irrelevant talk or action, is recorded in Illiyyin (an auspicious register of righteous deeds). (Abu Dawud: 558)
 
Note: 1. Ihram pertains to numerous constraints imposed on those who travel for Hajj and 'Umrah to Makkah. 2. Duha Salat is a Nafl (optional) prayer before mid-day.
