Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 45

The Ascetic

The Heavens Creak & Indeed they should.

'Verily I ﷺ observe what you do not & I ﷺ hear what you do not.

Verily the heavens are creaking (due to the awe of Allah SWT) and indeed it should creak.

There is not a place equal to 4 fingers where an Angel (as) does not prostrate before Allah SWT... (related by Abu Zharr (ra) Tirmidhi).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 44

The Ascetic

Meditation

Perform the Hajj, for the inevitable long and arduous events ahead (Ibn Abee).

Abu Zharr (ra) at Ar-Rabazha then swiftly heads off to perform The Hajj (Muwatta).

The wife of Abu Zharr (ra) would say that her late husband would spend the entire day only meditating in solitude (Abu Nu'aym Al-Hillya).

An hours reflection is better than standing in Salaah for an entire night (Ahmad).

An hour of meditation is worth a year of worship (Ibn Abee Shaibah).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 43

Fasting

Fasting removes the shackles of the heart - the filth of shaitan (Ahmad).

Fasting in the Month of Patience and 3 days of every month removes much of the Wahr (deception) of the heart (Ahmad).

Whoever speaks in Jumma whilst the Imam is delivering the sermon is like a donkey carrying books... even those who tell others to keep silent (Ahmad).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 42

The Ascetic 

O Mankind, I am your well wisher... Offer Salah in the darkness of the night... Abu Zharr (ra).

Allah SWT will raise the rank of anyone who does a Rakaah and does a prostration and will also remove one of his errors (Ahmad).

In prayer sins are brought forward, placed on the head & shoulders and fall off in Rukoo / Sujood (Baihaqi).

The best late night prayer is the one in the middle of the latter half of the night  - but very few do it (Ahmad), the 2 Nafl at the end of Eisha is sufficient, view Surah 39 v9 which refers to Uthman (ra) (Ibn Abi Hatim).

What will benefit on The Last Day O Abu Zharr (ra)?

'To Fast on a very hot day and 2 Rakaahs in the darkness of the night to help for the terror of the grave ' (Ibn Abee Dunyaa).

O Abu Zharr (ra) fast on the 13,14 & 15 - the white nights (Tirmidhi).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 41

The Ascetic 

A Treasure of Knowledge.

Misguided leaders are a greater trial than the Dajjaal (Ahmad), in another report Riyaa - beautifying deeds for other than Allah SWT

Abu Zharr (ra) asked about every conceivable question...

The Taba'een dare not instruct to teach The Companions (Ahmad).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 40

The Ascetic 

The Dajjaal, The Author of Confusion.

Ibn Say'yaad would be delighted to be The Dajjaal (Muslim).

Ibn Say'yaad - a human shaytan who appeared in the form of The Dajjaal.

Tameem al-Daree (ra) witnesses the actual Dajjaal (Fathul Baaree).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 39

The Ascetic 

The Accursed Dajjaal

A few of the notable companions swear that Ibn Say'yaad is the The Dajjaal.

The Umrah with The Dajjaal.

The Ascetic

Be content and you will be the most grateful of the people (Ibn Majah).

There is no intelligence like astute planning.

No piety like abstinence from the unlawful

No nobility as excellent as good character (Ibn Hibaan).

The Accursed Dajjaal

The parents of the Dajjaal awaited 30 years for a child, his eyes sleep but his heart does not (Tirmidhi).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 37

The Ascetic

Abu Zharr (ra) advises...

To love the poor and be close to them

To look at those who are below and not those who are above.

To keep ties no matter how far they are...

To recite a Zhikir which is a hidden treasure (Ahmad).

The best deeds...

To believe in Allah SWT

Help the weak or the one who cannot work

Refrain from harming others

Enjoin the good & forbid the evil...

Any of these qualities leads to The Garden of Eternity (Tabarani).

Taqwa is the fountain-head of all affairs.

Recite the Quran and engage in Zhkir as this is a light for you in the world and a treasure in the hereafter.
