Saeed Bin Jubayr (rahimahullaah) said: I said to Ibn Abbaas (radiyallaahu-anhumaa): ”Should I command the (Muslim) Ruler with good and forbid him from evil?” He (Ibn Abbaas) said: ”If you fear that he will kill you, then do not (do so).” I repeated the same (question), so he (Ibn Abbaas) repeated the same (answer). Then I repeated the same (question), so he (Ibn Abbaas) repeated the same (answer) and said: ”If you have to do that, then it should be between you and him (i.e. in private).” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:338]

It was said to Al-Hasan Al-Basri (rahimahullaah): Indeed, the people say that ”Whoever testifies that none has the right to be worshipped except Allaah will enter paradise”; so he (i.e. Al-Hasan) said: ”Whoever testifies that none has the right to worshipped except Allaah and then he fulfills its rights and obligations, he will enter paradise”. [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: 224]

It was said to Al-Wahb Ibn Munabbih (rahimahullaah): ”Is not the testimony that ‘none has the right to be worshipped except Alllaah’ the key to paradise? He said: ‘Certainly, but there is not a key except that it has teeth; so if you come with a key that has teeth, it will open for you, otherwise it will not open for you.’ [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:224]

Our Salaf-Fudayl Ibn Iyaad ”What do we recognise?”

Written by Abdullah Jallow on . Posted in Da'wah - Calling To Islam, Morals and Manners - 'Akhlaaq', The Salaf - Pious Predecessors, Worship - 'Ibaadah'.

Fudayl Ibn Iyaad (rahimahullaah) said:

”We do not recognize one (merely) due to his accomplishment of a lot of prayers and fasting; rather what is recognizable to us are generosity, guilelessness and being good natured, and to give sincere advice to the Ummah.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: Page: 91]
