RIYADH-US-SALEHEEN: ENGLISH: AHADITH 418 TO 428 : CHAPTER: 51 (Second Part out of 4 Parts.)

Riyadus Saliheen by Imam Abu Zakaria Mohiuddin Yahya An-Nawawi (RA): Translation by Ustadha Aisha Bewley - http://www.central-mosque.com

51. Chapter: On Hope (Second Part out of 4 Parts.)

Allah Almighty says, "Say: 'My slaves, you who have transgressed against yourselves, do not despair of the mercy of Allah. Truly Allah forgives all wrong actions. He is Ever-Forgiving, Most Merciful," (W39:50; H39:53) and the Almighty says, "Are any but the ungrateful repaid like this?" (34:17)

The Almighty says, "It has been revealed to us that punishment is for him who denies the truth and and turns away," (W20:47; H20:48)

and the Almighty says, "My Mercy extends to all things." (7:156)

418. 'Umar ibn al-Khattab said, "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, was brought some captives and there was a woman among them who was running about. When she found a child among the captives, she took it and brought it close to her and suckled it. The Messenger of Allah said, 'Can you imagine this woman casting her child into the Fire?' We said, 'No, by Allah.' He said, 'Allah is more merciful to His slaves than this woman is to her child.'" [Agreed upon]

419. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When Allah created creation, He wrote in a book which is with Him above the Throne, 'My mercy predominates over My anger.'"

In one variant, "Predominated over My anger," and in one variant, "preceded My anger." [Agreed upon]

420. Abu Hurayra said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah say, 'Allah divided mercy into a hundred parts and He kept back ninety-nine parts with Himself and left one part on the earth. It is from this part that creatures show mercy to one another so that an animal lifts its hoof from its young fearing to hurt them.'"

In one variant, "Allah Almighty has a hundred mercies out of which He sent down one mercy among jinn, men, beasts and insects by which they show affection to one another and by which they show mercy to one another and by which wild animals show mercy to their young. Allah Almighty has held back ninety-nine of the mercies and will show them to His slaves on the Day of Rising." [Agreed upon]

Muslim also related it from Salman al-Farisi who said that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Allah Almighty has a hundred mercies. One of them is the mercy by which creatures show mercy to one another, and ninety-nine are for the Day of Rising."

In one variant, "On the day He created the heavens and the earth, Allah Almighty created a hundred mercies, each mercy equal to what is between the heaven and the earth, and He put one mercy on the earth by which a mother has compassion for her child and wild animals and birds for each other. On the Day of Rising, He will perfect them with this mercy.

421. Abu Hurayra reported from the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, in what he relates from his Lord, Blessed and Exalted, who said, "A slave did a wrong action and said, 'O Allah, forgive me my wrong action!' Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said, 'My slave committed a wrong action and then acknowledged that he had a Lord who forgives wrong action and punishes wrong action.' The slave again committed a wrong action and said, 'O Lord, forgive me my wrong action.' Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said, 'My slave committed a wrong action and then acknowledged that he had a Lord who forgives wrong action and punishes wrong action.' The slave again committed a wrong action and said, 'O Lord, forgive me my wrong action.' Allah, Blessed and Exalted, said, 'My slave committed a wrong action and then acknowledged that he had a Lord who forgives wrong action and punishes wrong action. I have forgiven My slave so let him do what he likes.'" [Agreed upon]

"Let him do what he likes" means as long as he does this. He commits a wrong action and repents and I forgive him. Repentance wipes out what is before it."

422. Abu Hurayra reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "By the One in whose hand my life is, if you had not sinned, Allah would have removed you and brought other people who did commit wrong actions and asked for the forgiveness of Allah Almighty so that He could forgive them." [Muslim]

423. Abu Ayyub Khalid ibn Zayd said, "I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'If you had not sinned, Allah would have created other creatures who did sin and ask forgiveness so He could forgive them.'" [Muslim]

424. Abu Hurayra said, "We were sitting waiting for the Messenger of Allah, and Abu Bakr and 'Umar and some others were with us. The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, got up from among us and then was slow in returning to us and we were afraid that something had happened to him while he was not with us. We were alarmed and got up. I was the first to be alarmed and I went out to look for the Messenger of Allah and I came upon him in a garden belonging to the Ansar" and he mentioned the hadith in its entirety until he said "The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, 'Go and give the good news of the Garden to whoever you meet in front of this garden who testifies that "There is no god but Allah", his heart being certain of it.'" [Muslim]

425. 'Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, recited the words of Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, about Ibrahim, peace be upon him, "My Lord! They have misguided many of mankind. If anyone follows me, he is with me" (W14:38; H14:37) and the words of 'Isa, peace be upon him, "If You punish them, they are Your slaves. If You forgive them, You are the Almighty, the All-Wise." (W5:120; H5:119) Then he raised his hands and said, "O Allah! My community! My community!" and he wept. Allah, the Mighty and Exalted, said, "Jibril! Go to Muhammad, and your Lord knows best, and ask him what is making him weep." Jibril came to him and the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, told him what he had said, and Allah knew it best. Allah Almighty said, "Jibril, Go to Muhammad and say, 'We will make you happy in respect of your community and we will not make you sad.'" [Muslim]

426. Mu'adh ibn Jabal said, "I was riding behind the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, on a donkey. He asked, 'Mu'adh, do you know what is Allah's right on His slaves and the right of the slaves on Allah?' I replied, 'Allah and His Messenger know best.' He said, 'Allah's right on His slaves is that they should worship Him and not associate anything with Him. The slaves' right on Allah is that He will not punish anyone who does not associate anything with Him.' I said, 'Messenger of Allah, shall I tell the people that so that they can rejoice?' He said, 'Then they will rely on it.'" [Agreed upon]

427. Al-Bara' ibn 'Azib reported that the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, aid, "When a Muslim is questioned in the grave, he should testify that there is no god but Allah and that Muhammad is the Messenger of Allah. That is by the words of the Almighty, 'Allah makes those who believe, firm with the Firm Word in the life of this world and in the Hereafter.'" (W14:29; H14:28). [Agreed upon]

428. Anas reported that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "When an unbeliever does a good deed, he enjoys its fruits in this world. In the case of a believer, Allah Almighty will store up his good deeds for him in the Next world and will also reward him with provision in this world because of his obedience."

In one variant, "Allah will not wrong a believer in respect of any good deed - he gives to him on account it in this world and he rewards him for it in the Next world. The unbeliever enjoys all the fruits of any good deeds he does for Allah Almighty in this world so that when he passes to the Next world, he had no good deeds left for which to be repaid." [Muslim]
