Our Salaf: Advise About Speech–Ibraaheem An-Nakha’ee and Muhammad Bin Ajlaan

Ibraaheem An-Nakha’ee [rahimahullaah] said:

”The people are destroyed by excess wealth and speech” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:144]

Muhammad Bin Ajlaan [rahimahullaah] said:

”Indeed, speech is four [types]: [a] you remember Allaah; [b]Recite the Qur’aan; [c] You are asked about an affair of knowledge, so you give information about it; [d] or you speak about an affair of the worldly life that concerns you.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page:144]

 

Our Salaf: Righteous actions–Ibn Ajlaan (rahimahullaah)

Actions cannot be righteous except with three things: ”(a)The performance of that action in obedience to Allaah and fear of His punishment if you disobey Him; (b) To have a sincere intention and (c) to reach the correctness required in that action. [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page: 16]

Our Salaf and the fear for themselves- Sufyaan Ath-Thawree (rahimahullaah)

Sufyaan Ath-Thawree’s (rahimahullaah) worry about the affair of one’s past and final deeds used to severely (affect him). So he used to weep, whilst saying: ”I fear to be (written) as a wretched person in the preserved Tablet.” And he used to say: ”I fear to be deprived of Eemaan at the time of death.” [Jaami-ul Uloom Wal-Hikam: page: 68]

Entering The Toilets With A Mushaf

Question:

One of us carries the Mushaf (copy of the Qur’aan) in his pocket and may enter the toilets with it; what is the ruling on this? Benefit us (with an answer).

Answer:

Carrying the Mushaf in one’s pocket is permissible, however it is not permissible for a person to enter the toilets with the Mushaf; rather he should put it away in a decent place out of respect for the book of Allaah; but if he is compelled by necessity to enter (the toilets) with it, out of fear that it may get stolen; then it is permissible to leave it outside due to that necessity (that compelled him to enter the toilets).  And to Allaah belongs all success, and may peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam), his family and his companions.

The Ruling On Kissing The Qur’aan

Answer

All praise is due to Allaah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger, his family and his companions.  We are not aware of any proof that legitimizes the kissing of the Noble Qur’aan. It has been revealed to be recited it, pondered upon, exalted and to act upon it.  And to Allaah belongs all success, and may peace and blessings be upon our prophet Muhammad (salla Allaahu alaihi wa sallam), his family and his companions.

What is the proof from the Qur’aan that sins prevents (a person) from understanding the Qur’aan?

Answer:

Allaah the most high says:  كَلَّا بَلْ رَانَ عَلَى قُلُوبِهِم مَّا كَانُوا يَكْسِبُونَ

[”Nay! But on their hearts is the Ran (covering of sins and evil deeds) which they used to earn.’’ [83:14]   Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah) derived from this ayah that sin is a cause of not (being able) to understand the Qur’aan.
