التواضع وتحسين الظن والتطاوع
Thinking well of others and Tatawu^

قال الشيخ  رحمه الله
"أَمَّا بَعْدُ إِخْوَانَـنَا مَعَاشِرَ أَهْلِ السُّـنَّةِ وَالْجَمَاعَةِ أُوْصِيْكُم بِالْتِـزَامِ التَّطَاوُعِ فِيْمَا بَيْنَكُمْ وَتَحْسِيْنِ الظَّنّ فِي أَفْرَادِكُمْ وَالتَّوَاضُعِ كَمَا أَكَّدَ الرَّسُـوْلُ عَلَيْهِ السَّـلاَمُ ذلِكَ عَلَيْنَا مَعَاشِرَ الأُمَّةِ بِقَوْلِـهِ "إِنَّكُمْ لَتَغْفُلُوْنَ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ العِبَادَةِ التَّوَاضُع" وَبِالتَّوَاضُعِ وَالتَّطَاوُعِ يَكُوْنُ القَلِيْلُ كَثِيْرًا مِنْ حَيْثُ الْمَعْنَى وَيَكُوْنُ الكَثِيْرُ بِدُوْنِـهِ قَلِيْلا فَالْزَمُوْا هذَا تَنْجَحُوْا وتكون لَكُمْ مَهَابَـةٌ عِنْدَ النَّاسِ الْمُحِبّيْنَ وَالأَعْدَاءِ وَفَّقَكُمُ اللهُ لِلْعَمَلِ بِهَذِهِ النَّصِيْحَةِ".

Sheikh Abdullah may Allah have mercy upon him said:
Thereafter, our dear brothers of Ahlus-Sunnah wal Jama^ah, I urge you to adhere with tatawu^ within each other and to think well in each other and be humble. As Rasulullah peace be upon him emphasized on this to the ummah by saying: "You are inattentive of a great act of obedience, which is tawadu^".
With Tawadu^ and tatawu^, the little becomes plenty figuratively. And the plenty without it becomes little. SO adhere to this you will succeed and you will appeal to both your supporters and enemies. May Allah facilitate for you to apply this advice.

وَقَالَ رضي الله عنه "قَالَ رَسُـوْلُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم  "اَلْمُؤْمِنُ كَالْجَمَلِ الأَنِفِ إِنْ قِيْدَ انْقَادَ وَإِنْ اسْتُنِـيْخَ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ اسْتَـنَاخَ" إِنْ أَبْرَكْتَهُ عَلَى صَخْرَةٍ يَبْرُكْ أَيْنَمَا أَبْرَكْتَهُ يَبْرُكْ إِنْ سُقْـتَهُ أَيْضًا يَنْسَـاقُ مَعَكَ. مَعْنَاهُ اَلْمُؤْمِنُ يكونُ لَيّـنًا بِأَيْدِي إِخْوَانِـهِ يُطَاوِعُهُمْ لاَ يَتَرَفَّعُ عَلَيْهِمْ. اَلرَّسُـوْلُ كَانَتِ البِنْتُ الصَّغِيْرَةُ تَأْتِي تَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ وَتَأْخُذُهُ إِلَى حَيْثُ أَرْسَلَهَا أَهْلُهَا بِنْتٌ صَغِيْرَةٌ تَأْخُذُ بِيَدِهِ تُوْصِلُهُ ولاَ يَتَرَفَّعُ عَنْهَا.                   وهذَا يَتَطَلَّبُ تَحْسِيْنَ الظَنّ بِأَخِيْهِ لأَنَّـهُ إِنْ أَسَـاءَ الظَنَّ بِأَخِيْهِ لاَ يَحْصُلُ هذَا التَّطَاوُعُ إِلاَّ مَعَ حُسْنِ الظَّنّ بِأَخِيْهِ مَا لَمْ يَرَ مِنْهُ مَعْصِيَةً للهِ تَعَالَى يُرِيْدُ أن يَدْعُوَ غَيْرَهُ إِلَيْهَا يُسَايِرُهُ أَمَّا إِنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَدْعُوَهُ إِلَى مَعْصِيَةٍ لاَ يَنْقَادُ مَعَهُ لِلْمَعْصِيَةِ ولكِنْ يَنْهَاهُ يَقُوْلُ لَـهُ هذَا الشىءُ لاَ يَجُوْزُ فَإِنْ أَبَى إِلا أَنْ يَقُوْدَ النَّاسَ إِلَى الْمَعْصِيَةِ يُفَارِقُـهُ هذَا شَـأْنُ الدُّعَاةِ إِلَى اللهِ".

He also said:"Rasulullah said  ﷺ
"The true believer (is easy going and gentle) like a leashed camel. If it is pulled, it follows, and if made to sit on a rock, it sits". If you made it sit on a rock, it sits anywhere you make it sit it sits. If was driven it follows.  This means the believer should be lenient with his brothers, obeys them, he doesn't act haughtily over them.

A littler girl would take the hand of Rasulullah  ﷺ and take him to wherever her parents sent her. A littler girl would take his hand and take him and he would not haughtily ignore her.

This requires thinking well of one's brother, because if he thinks ill of his brother this tatawu^ will not happen except by thinking well with his brother. As long as he didn't see a sin from him calling others to it, let him cope and agree with him. But if he called him for a sin he would not follow him to the sin, rather he should prevent it, he should say to him not to do it. If he refused but to lead people then he should leave him. This is the way of the callers to Allah.

أذكر نفسي واياكم بالآية:
(قَوْلٌ مَّعْرُوفٌ وَمَغْفِرَةٌ خَيْرٌ مِّن صَدَقَةٍ يَتْبَعُهَا أَذًى ۗ وَاللَّـهُ غَنِيٌّ حَلِيمٌ)

عن ابن عباس رضي الله عنه قال: إذا أردت أن تذكر عيوب صاحبك فاذكر عيوب نفسك.اهـ قال الإمام الشافعي رضي الله عنه: من حَسُن ظنُّه طابَ عيشُه.

فالعاقل همّه وهمّته في إصلاح نفسه وليس شأنه أن يُحسّن الظن بنفسه ويمدحها ويسيء الظن بغيره. إساءة الظن بالناس بلا سبب شرعي فعل المغرورين. العبرة باتّباع الشريعة أولاً قبل المال والحسب والمناصب.

كم من وضيع عند الناس رفيع عند الله، وكم من رفيع عند الناس وضيع عند الله.

اَلتَّوَاضُعُ وَالتَّحَآبُّ وَالْحِلْمُ وَالتَّطَاوُعُ

قال الشيخ  رضي الله عنه وأرضاه
"اَلدَّعْوَةُ إِلَى اللهِ تَحْتَاجُ إِلَى أُمُوْرٍ مِنْـهَا التَّوَاضُعُ وَالتَّحَآبُّ وَالْحِلْمُ وَالتَّطَاوُعُ. أَمَّا التَّوَاضُعُ فَإِنَّـهُ يَدْعُوْ إِلَى التَّآلُفِ. الرَّسولُ سَمَّاهُ أفضلَ العبَادَةِ "إِنَّكُمْ لَتَغْفُلُوْنَ عَنْ أَفْضَلِ العِبَادَةِ التَّوَاضُع" وَقَالَ عليه الصلاة والسلام  "مَنْ تَوَاضَعَ للهِ درَجَةً رَفَعَهُ اللهُ درجةً حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ إِلَى عِلّيّـيْنَ" وَقَالَ "مَنْ تَكَبَّرَ دَرَجَةً خَفَضَهُ اللهُ درجةً حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ أَسْفَلَ سَافِلِيْنَ". مَن استمَرَّ عَلَى التكبُّرِ يصِلُ إِلَى أسفلِ السَّافلينَ فِي الانْحطاطِ الْمَعنويِّ وهو الْخُسرانُ معناه هو أَخْسَرُ الْخَاسِرِيْنَ. وَأَهْلُ العلمِ يَكْثُرُ الاستِفَادَةُ مِنْهُمْ عَلَى حَسَبِ تَوَاضُعِهم وبِفَقْدِ التواضُعِ أهلُ العلمِ يَقِلُّ الانتفاعُ بِهم.
Sheikh Abdullah said: Da^wah requires things among them is humbleness, loving each other, patience, wisdom, and tatawu^ cooperation. As for Humbleness, it results in passionate reconciliation. Rasulullah named it "the best act of worship" he said; "You are inattentive of the best ^ibadah, act of worship, it is tawadu^ humbleness". He also said: "Whoever humbles himself for Allah's sake one degree, Allah will raise him one degree until he reaches ^Illieen".

He also said: "and whoever behaves arrogantly one degree, Allah will lower him in status one degree, until He makes him among the lowest of the low".
Whoever keeps behaving arrogantly, he will reach the lowest of the low. And the benefit from people of knowledge  increases more depending on their humbleness. With lack of humbleness of the people of knowledge the benefit from them decreases.
وَأَمَّا التَّحَآبُّ وَالتَّـوَادُّ فَهُوَ أَسَاسُ النَّفْعِ وَالانتفاعِ فَقَدْ قَالَ رسولُ اللهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم"لاَ تَدْخُلُوْا الْجَنَّةَ حَتَّى تُؤْمِنُوْا وَلاَ تُؤْمِنُوْا حَتَّى تَحَآبُّوْا" معنى وَلاَ تُؤْمِنُوْا حَتَّى تَحَآبُّوْا أَيْ لاَ يكونُ إِيْمَانُ الْمَرْءِ كَامِلاً حَتَّى يُحِبَّ إخوانَـهُ يُحِبُّ لَهم الْخَيْرَ ويكرَهُ لَهم الشَّرَّ يَفْرَحُ لفَرَحِ إخوانِـه وَيَحْزَنُ لِحُزْنِهِمْ مَعْنَى الْحَدِيْثِ لاَ يَدْخُلُ الْجَنَّةَ مَعَ الأَوَّلِيْنَ إِلاَّ إِذَا كَانَتْ فِيْهِ هذِهِ الْمَحَبَّةُ. وَأَمَّا التَّـطَاوُعُ فَهُوَ مَطْلُوْبٌ لأَنَّ الاستِفَادَةَ بَيْنَ الإِخْوَانِ لاَ تَتِمُّ بدُوْنـهِ وَمَعْنَى التَّطَاوُعِ هو التَوَافُقُ عَلَى مَا فِيْهِ خَيْرٌ يَسْتَضِيْءُ الْمُؤْمِنُ بِمَا عندَ أخِيه مِنَ الفَهْمِ وَالْمَعْرِفَةِ ويستفِيْدُ الآخَرُ مِنْهُ ذلِكَ. وَأَمَّا الْحِلْمُ فَهُوَ الصَّبْرُ عَلَى الْمُتَعَلّمِيْنَ خُصُوْصًا وَعَلَى غيرِهِم عُمُوْمًا لأَنَّ الْمُعَلّمَ إِذَا عَوَّدَ نفسَه الْحِلْمَ تكونُ إفادَتُـهُ أَكْثَرَ وذلِكَ لأنَّ كَثِيْرًا مِنَ الْمُعَلّمِيْنَ يضجَرُوْنَ مِن كَمَالِ الإِفَادَةِ وَيُحْرَمُوْنَ خَيْرًا كَثِيْرًا".
As for loving one another and being compassionate, it is the basis of benefit and benefiting. Rasulullah peace be upon him said: "You will not enter Jannah until you belief, and you will not believe until you love one another". The meaning of "you will not believe until you love one" you will not be true complete believers until he loves his fellow brothers, he loves for them the goodness and hates for them the harm. He will be happy for their happiness and said for their sadness. The meaning of the hadith "one will not enter Jannah" that is with the first bath unless he had this trait of love.

As for Tatawu^, it's needed, because the benefit between brothers and sisters will not be complete without it. The meaning of Tatawu^ cooperation is to agree on collaborating in what has benefit which enlightens the believer with what his fellow brother has from understanding and knowledge and vice versa. As for patience and wisdom, it is to have patience with the learned students especially and others generally. Because the teach if he gets into the habit of being patient, his benefit increases. Because many teachers get bored of the complete benefit and will be prevented a great amount of goodness.

رَبِّ اغفِرْ لِي وللمؤمنينَ والمُؤمِنَاتِ

اللهم  اهدنا سبل السلام ونجنا من الظلمات إلى النور وجنبنا الفواحش

اللَّهُمَّ ارْحمْنا إذا أتانا اليقينُ، وعَرِقَ مِنَّا الجَبينُ، وكَثُرَ مِنَّا الأنينُ.

اللَّهُمَّ ارْحمْنا إذا يَئِسَ مِنَّا الطبيبُ، وبكَى علينا الحبيبُ، وتخلَّى عنَّا القَريبُّ.

اللَّهُمَّ ارْحمْنا إذا كَفَّنُونا وعلى الأَعنَاقِ حَمَلونا وإلى قُبُورِنا ساقُونا وفي التُّرابِ وَضَعُونا

اللَّهُمَّ ارْحمْنا بَرحمَتِكَ فوقَ الأرضِ وتَحتَ الأرضِ ويَومَ العَرضِ بِرَحْمَتِكَ يا أرْحَمَ الرَّاحِمِينَ يا اللهُ.

اللَّهُمَّ اهدِنا وثبّتنا وأصلِحْ بالَنا.

اللَّهُمَّ إنَّا نسألُك إيمانًا كاملا، ويقينًا صادقًا، وقلبًا خاشعًا، وعلمًا نافعًا، وعملا صالحًا مقبولا، اللَّهُمَّ إنَّا نعوذ بك من الفتن والفواحش ما ظهر منها وما بطن.

اللَّهُمَّ إنَّا نسألُك الفردوس الأعلى من الجنّة.

اللَّهُمَّ احفظنا وأعِنَّا واجعلنا من الذين يخافونك وارزقنا الجنة وما قرب إليها من قول أو عمل  اللَّهُمَّ ﻻ تجعل الدُّنيا أكبر همنا، اللَّهُمَّ يا مثبتَ القلوبِ والأبصار ثبتْ قلوبنا على دينك وطاعتك.

اللَّهُمَّ فرّج الكرب عنّا وعن أهلنا وعن سائر الأمة الإسلامية، أمة سيدنا محمد عليه الصلاة والسلام.

اللَّهُمَّ من أراد بالإسلام والمسلمين خيرًا فوفقه إلى كل خير ومن أراد بالإسلام والمسلمين شرًا فخذه أخذ عزيز مقتدر

اللَّهُمَّ الطف بالمسلمين في جميع بقاع الأرض وفرج كربهم واصرف عنهم ما أهمهم يا ذا الجلال والإكرام يا ذا الجلال والإكرام.

If you want to find something you lost, say this three times while looking for it:

اللهم يا جامِعَ النَّاسِ لِيَومٍ لا رَيبَ فيه اِجمَعْ بَيني وبَين ضالَّتي
Allaahumma yaa jaami^an-naasi li yawmin laa rayba fiih, ijma^ baynii wa bayna Đaallatii
"Oh Allaah you are the one that gathers us on the day that has no doubt gather me with what I have lost".

He also said:
We are a group of Muslims who do not follow a new scheme or an idea that was innovated 50, 200, or 600 years ago. The scheme innovated 50 years ago is that of Sayyid Qutb and Taqiyyud-din an-Nabahaniyy; the one innovated 200 years ago is that of Muhammad ibn Abdul-Wahhab; and the one innovated 600 years ago is that of Ibn Taymiyah, from which Ibn Abdul-Wahhab took some of his ideas. To the contrary of their schemes, we are following the route on which millions of Muslims are: that of Ash^ariyyah and Shafi^iyyah. We are Ash^ariyyah in belief, which is the belief of hundreds of millions of Muslims, and Shafi^iyyah in the practical rules.

Imam Al-Ash^ariyy is the Imam of Ahlus-Sunnah who summarized the belief of the Sahabah and Tabi^in. He taught during the third Hijriyy century and died in the beginning of the fourth century. He did not bring except that which is substantiated with mental and traditional evidences. 1200 years have passed on the Madhhab of Ash-Shafi^iyy. We do not deem permissible the assassination of government officials because they rule by the secular law. We are clear of whoever practices this.

The issue of defining the blasphemous sayings is not a new madhhab that we carry. In this issue we follow the Imams of the four Madhhabs as the Hafidh Murtada Az-Zabidiyy said in explanation of Ihya' ^Ulumid-Din what means: "The Imams of the four Madhhabs showed the sayings of blasphemy in their writings". We are not exploited by any state for any financial aid. Whoever ascribes to us other than this, Allah is his Judge.

Our belief about the Imams of the four Madhhabs, Imam Ash-Shafi^iyy, Imam Malik, Imam Abu Hanifah, and Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and the rest of the recognized Imams is that all of them are Imams of guidance; and we follow them.
