Qaylulah (mid day nap)
07 April, 2009

Anas RAA reported that the Prophet saws said, “Take a nap, for the accursed devils do not take naps” (At-Tabarani) And Allah knows best.
 
 
Question: According to the Sunnah, is the time for the qayloolah (siesta) before or after the Zhuhr prayer?

Response: It is before they pray the Zhuhr prayer. (Then), after the (mid-day) heat has lessened, they can pray (the Zhuhr prayer). And the meaning of his (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) saying:

((Perform the Zhuhr (prayer) when it is cool)), [Saheeh al-Bukhaaree, No.538] is that you should do the qayloolah before (the Zhuhr prayer).

And if he were to sleep after the Zhuhr prayer, then it is not considered as the qayloolah.

"Seek seventy excuses for your brother" = weak hadith
26 January, 2009

How sound is the hadeeth “Seek seventy excuses for your brother”?.



Praise be to Allaah.

I do not know of any basis for it. What is prescribed for the believer is to respect his brother if he apologizes to him and accept his excuse if possible, and to think positively of him whenever possible, in hopes that hearts will be free from resentment and that people will be brought together and will cooperate in doing good. It was narrated from ‘Umar (may Allaah be pleased with him) that he said: “Do not think badly of a word uttered by your brother, when you can find a good interpretation for it.”

The Battle Of Badr


By Kamal El-Mekki. Anas bin Malik narrated that on the day of the battle of Badr, the Messenger of Allah said: "Stand up and face Paradise, the width of which is like the heavens and earth" Umair bin al Hamam said: "O Messenger of Allah, Paradise the width of which is like the heavens and earth?" The Messenger of Allah said: "Yes" Umair was eating from some dates in his hand. He said: "If I am going to live as long as it takes to finish eating these dates that's a long time!" and he threw away the dates and rushed to the battlefield and was killed. (Muslim – al Hakim)
