Al-Muwatta Hadith<br />

Hadith 20.125<br />

Tawaf in General<br />

Yahya related to me from Malik from Abu'z Zubayr al-Makki that Abu Maiz al-Aslami Abdullah ibn Sufyan told him that once,<br />

when he was sitting with Abdullah ibn Umar, a woman came to ask him for an opinion. She said, "I set out intending to do<br />

tawaf of the House, but then, when I got to the gate of the Mosque, I started bleeding, so I went back until it had left me. Then<br />

I set out again, and then, when I got to the gate of the mosque, I started bleeding, so I went back until it had left me. Then I<br />

set off again, and then, when I got to the gate of the mosque, I started bleeding." Abdullah ibn Umar said, "That is only an<br />

impulse from Shaytan. Do ghusl, then bind your private parts with a cloth and do tawaf."<br />

Hadith Qudsi<br />

Hadith Qudsi 10<br />

Fasting is Mine and it I who give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink for my sake.<br />

Fasting is like a shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy whin he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord. The<br />

change in the breath of the mouth of him who fasts is better in Allah's estimation than the smell of musk.<br />

Sunan of Abu-Dawood<br />

Hadith 1546 Narrated by<br />

Shakl ibn Humayd<br />

I said: Apostle of Allah, teach me a supplication. He said: Say: "O Allah, I seek refuge in Thee from the evil of what I hear,<br />

from the evil of what I see, from the evil of what I speak, from the evil of what I think, and from the evil of my semen" (i.e.<br />

sexual passion).<br />

Al-Tirmidhi Hadith<br />

Hadith 5289<br />

Shaddad ibn Aw<br />

Narrated by<br />

Allah's Messenger (peace be upon him) said, "The prudent man is he who subdues himself and works for what comes after<br />

death, but the incapable man is he who lets himself follow his passion and puts his hope in Allah."<br />

Tirmidhi and Ibn Majah transmitted it.<br />

PATIENCE AND PERSEVERANCE:<br />

20:130 - Therefore be patient with what they say and celebrate (constantly) the praises of thy Lord<br />

before the rising of the sun and before its setting; yea celebrate them for part of the hours of<br />

the night and at the sides of the day: that thou mayest have (spiritual) joy. 26542655<br />

2654 All good men must be patient with what seems to them evil around them. That does not mean that they should sit still<br />

and do nothing to destroy evil; for the fight against evil is one of the cardinal points in Islam. What they are told is that<br />

they must not be impatient: they must pray to Allah and commune with Him, so that their patience and faith may be<br />

strengthened, and they may be able the better to grapple with evil. For they thus not only get strength in this world but<br />

pleasure of Allah in the Hereafter as well. (20.130)<br />

2:45 - Nay seek (Allah's) help with patient perseverance and prayer: it is indeed hard except to<br />

those who bring a lowly spirit. 61<br />

61 The Arabic word Sabr implies many shades of meaning, which it is impossible to comprehend in one English word. It<br />

implies (1) patience in the sense of being thorough, not hasty; (2) patient perseverance, constancy, steadfastness,<br />

firmness of purpose; (3) systematic as opposed to spasmodic or chance action; (4) a cheerful attitude of resignation<br />

and understanding in sorrow, defeat, or suffering, as opposed to murmuring or rebellion, but saved from mere<br />

passivity or listlessness, by the element of constancy or steadfastness. (2.45)<br />

2:153 - O ye who believe! seek help with patient perseverance and prayer: for Allah is with those<br />

who patiently persevere. 157<br />

157 See ii. 45 and n. An additional meaning implied in sabr is self-restraint. Haqqani defines it in his Tafsir as following<br />

Reason and restraining Fear, Anger, and Desire. What can be a higher reward for patience, perseverance, selfrestraint<br />

and constancy than that God should be with us? For this promise opens the door to every kind of spiritual<br />

well-being. (2.153)<br />

2:155 - Be sure We shall test you with something of fear and hunger some loss in goods or lives or<br />

the fruits (of your toil) but give glad tidings to those who patiently persevere. 159<br />

159 The glad tidings are the blessings of God in ii. 157 or (which is the same thing) the promise in ii. 153 that God will be<br />

with them. (2.155)<br />
