Best of you

40. "The most beloved of people according to Allah is he who brings most benefit, and the most beloved of deeds according to Allah the Mighty, the Magnificent, is that you bring happiness to a fellow Muslim, or relieve him of distress, or pay off his debt or stave away hunger from him. It is more beloved to me that I walk with my brother Muslim in his time of need than I stay secluded in the mosque for a month. Whoever holds back his anger, Allah will cover his faults and whoever suppresses his fury while being able to execute it, Allah will fill his heart with satisfaction on the Day of Standing. Whoever walks with his brother Muslim in need until he establishes that for him, Allah will establish his feet firmly on the day when all feet shall slip. Indeed, bad character ruins deeds just as vinegar ruins honey." [Tabarâni, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

20. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “He who is victorious over his passion at the time of anger is the strongest among you. He who forgives having the power to release (his anger and take revenge) is the most patient among you.” (a-Baihaqi in Shu’ab al-Imaan)

Salafs sayings

It is reported that Imām Al-Zuhrī – Allāh have mercy on him – said:

Those of our scholars who went before us used to say,”Adherence to the Sunnah is salvation, but knowledge is taken away quickly, so the revival of knowledge means the stability of religion and worldly affairs, and the loss of knowledge means the loss of all that.”

If the Resident prays behind the Traveller

Question:

If a person went out on a journey and wished to pray the Zuhr prayer in congregation, and he found a person who had already performed the Zuhr prayer, but he was a resident. May the resident pray with the traveller, and should he shorten his prayers, or complete them?
Answer:

If the resident prays behind the traveller, seeking the reward of congregational pray, and he has already performed the obligatory prayer, he should pray two Rakahs, like the traveller, because it is considered a supererogatory prayer for him. But if the resident prays behind the traveller and he is performing an obligatory prayer such as Zuhr, Asr or Isha, then he should pray four Rakahs. In that case, he must complete his prayer when the traveller makes his Taslim after two Rakahs. However, if the traveller performs a prayer which is obligatory for both of them behind the resident, then he must complete four Rakahs, according to the most authoritative of two sayings held by the scholars, based upon the narration of Imam Ahmad and that of Imam Muslim in his Sahih - may Allaah have mercy on them both- which states that Ibn Abbas, may Allaah be pleased with him, was asked about a traveller who prays four Rakahs behind the Imam and two Rakahs with his (travelling) companions, and he said: That is the Sunnah. [1] And also the generality of the words of the Prophet (sallallaahu alaihi wa sallam): The Imam is there is be followed, so do not contradict him. [2]
