An Abandoned Sunnah – During the Last Ten Days of Ramadan

An Abandoned Sunnah – During the Last Ten Days of Ramadan

عائشة : كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم إذا كان رمضان قام و نام فإذا دخل العشر شد المئزر و اجتنب النساء و اغتسل بين الأذانين و جعل العشاء سحورا

Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her) said ,” That during Ramadan Allah’s messenger (Sallahu ‘Alaihiwassalam) would sleep , wake up and pray. However when the last ten days came he would burn the midnight oil, avoid relations with his wives, perform a Ghusl between Maghrib and Isha and have dinner at the time of Sahur.”

Collected by : Ibn Abee ‘Asim. Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali (795 H ) graded the isnad for this hadeeth as being Hasan.

Points of Benefit:

Ibn Rajab Al-Hanbali mentioned his book “Taif Al-Muarif” that performing Ghusl between Maghrib and Isha is a Sunnah to be performed during the last ten days of Ramadan.

Ibn Jarir said about this hadeeth, “ The Salaf used to considered it Sunnah to take Ghusl every night during the last ten days of Ramadan .

An-Nakhaee used to wash every night, while others used to wash and dab cologne on their bodies on the night they hoped was Laylutul Qadr.

It has been reported that Anas ibn Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) on the 24th night of Ramadan took a bath, put on some nice fragrance, and wore his best izar.

The next morning he took it off, folded it up and didn’t wear it again until next Ramadan on the same occasion.

Ayyub As-Sakhtayanni (may Allah be pleased with him) used to bathe on the 23rd and 24th night , wear new clothes and burn incense to perfume his clothes.

Hamad ibn Salamah (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “ Thabit Bananee and Humayd At-Tawheel used to wear their best clothes, best fragrance and burn incense and spray aroma in the Masjid during the night in which the hoped to be Laylutul Qadr.

Tameem Ad-Daree (may Allah be pleased with him) bought an Izar for 1,000 Dirhams. He used to wear it on the night in which he anticipated was Laylutul Qadr.

Ibn Jarir-said,” Therefore based on these acts from the Salaf, it establishes that it is recommended for the night in which a person thinks is Layultul Qadr to dress up, wear nice fragrance, and take a bath. This is similar to the Sunnah for Jumu’ah and both Eed.

Five Different Levels..Which Level Are U?

Ibn al-Qayyim (رحمالله) said: And mankind, with regard to their performance of prayer are in five levels: The First: The level of the one who is negligent and wrongs his soul: He is the one who falls short in performing wudoo properly, performing the prayer upon its time and within its specified limits, and in fulfilling its essential pillars. The Second: The one who guards his prayers upon their proper times and within their specified limits, fulfills their essential pillars and performs his wudoo with care. However, his striving (in achieving the above) is wasted due whisperings in his prayer so he is taken away by thoughts and ideas. The Third: The one who guards his prayers within the specified limits, fulfills their essential pillars and strives with himself to repel the whisperings, thoughts and ideas. He is busy struggling against his enemy shaytan so that he does not steal from the prayer. On account of this he is engaged in (both) prayer and jihad. The Fourth: The o...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In regards to the length of heaven, it is mentioned that the space, whicheven the lowest member of the heaven will get in Paradise, will be equalto ten times the area of the world. Imagine the space allowed in the highestlevel of Paradise (Jannah). There is a tree in heaven whose shadow spreads so far and wide, that a rider would travel on for a hundred years and yet would not cross the extent of that tree. Heaven consists of a HUNDRED levels. Between each two levels there is a distance equal to the space between the sky and the earth. Firdawsis the name of the top most level of Heaven. Above it is the abode of Allah. Whenever asking anything from Allah, we should ask for Jannat-ul-Firdaws (admittance into the highest abode of heaven just below theThrone of the Almighty). Each faithful shall have a tent made of a pearl; itslength will be sixty miles. The abode of Paradise shall be built of bricks of gold and silver. And who shall ever enter this mans...
