🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.
💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"
💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"
💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]
💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.
[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]
💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]

💠Sending ṣalāh upon the Prophet ﷺ on Friday is better than on the rest of the days, and its night (Thursday night) is the best of nights. He ﷺ said,
🌷“Among the best of your days is Friday, so frequently send ṣalāh upon me therein.”
الصلاة على النبي ﷺ يوم الجمعة أفضل من بقيّة الأيام، وليلتها أفضل الليالي، قال ﷺ: (إن من أفضل أيامكم يوم الجمعة فأكثروا عليّ من الصلاة فيه)

💠Aqidah Makes People Look Ugly or Beautiful💠
🔰Shaykhu'l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah)Rahimahu'Allah? said:
❐ “The person who is righteous and honest, his honesty is manifest from the radiance on his face, and his honesty can be known from the glow that is on his face, likewise the (opposite for the) sinful one and the liar. The older a person gets, the more this sign becomes apparent.
❐ Thus a person as a child would have a bright face, however if he becomes a sinful person, adamant on committing sins, at the older stages in his life, an ugly face would manifest that which he used to internalize, and the opposite is also true.
❐ It has been narrated that Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu Anhu) said:
❐ "Indeed righteousness illuminates the heart, radiates the face, strengthens the body, increases provision, and produces a love in the hearts of the creation for that person.
❐ Whereas sinfulness darkens the heart, greys the face, weakens the body, and produces hatred in the hearts of the creation for that person."
❐ It is possible that a person may not intentionally lie; he may even be a person who makes great effort in ibaadah and has zuhd (abstains from pleasures of this life that are lawful).
❐ However he has false, incorrect aqidah regarding his Allah (azza wajal), His din or His Messenger (Sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) or His righteous servants. And what is on the inside affects what is on the outside.
❐ Thus, this false, incorrect aqidah that he thought was true and correct reflects on his face, and his face would be dark in accordance with the level of falsehood he possesses. As it has been narrated that Uthman ibn Affan (Rady'Allahu Anhu) said:
❐ "No one ever hides evil within themselves except that Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) makes it manifest from his facial outlook and the statements his tongues utters."
❐ Hence some of the salaf used to say: "If a person of innovation were to dye his beard every day, the dye of innovation would remain on his face."
❐ On the day of judgment this would be very clear as Allah (Subhanahu wa ta'ala) says:
❐ “And on the Day of Resurrection you will see those who lied against Allah their faces will be black. Is there not in Hell an abode for the arrogant ones?” [az-Zumar 39/60]
❐ He (subhanahu wa ta'ala) also said: “On the Day when some faces will become white and some faces will become black; as for those whose faces will become dark (to them will be said): Did you reject faith after accepting it? Then taste the torment for rejecting faith.”
[Al-i Imran 3/106]

💠Kitaab Sharhu’s-Sunnah, Imam al-Barbahari
💢Part - 1
🔰The Sunnah is Islam and Islam is the Sunnah
💥All praise is for Allah who guided us to Islam and blessed us with it and placed us in the best nation, so we ask Him to grant us that we keep to that which He loves and is pleased with and avoid that which He hates and which angers Him.
💢Know that Islam is the Sunnah, and the Sunnah is Islam [⭕️1] and one of them cannot be established without the other.
[⭕️1: - RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "He who turns away from my Sunnah is not from me." [Bukhari; Muslim; Nasai] Abu Hurayrah (Rady'Allahu anhu) said that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "All of my ummah will enter Paradise except those who refuse. It was said: Who will refuse? He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied: Whoever obeys me enters Paradise and whoever disobeys me has refused." [Bukhari]
The famous taabi'i Imam az-Zuhri (d.124H) said: "The people of knowledge who came before us used to say: Salvation lies in clinging to the Sunnah." [Darimi] Imam Malik said: "The Sunnah is like the Ark of Nuh. Whoever embarks upon it reaches salvation and whoever refuses is drowned." [Shaikhu’l-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah, Majmu al-Fatawa, 4/57]
⭕️From The Sunnah is Clinging to the Jamaa’ah
💥From the Sunnah is clinging to the Jamaa'ah [⭕️2] Whoever desires other than the Jamaa'ah and departs from it then he has thrown off the yoke of Islam from his neck and he is astray, leading others astray [⭕️3].
[⭕️2: - Umar (Rady'Allahu anhu) reports that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "Stick to the Jamaa'ah and beware of splitting, for Shaytan is found along with the single person but is further from two. Whoever desires the centre of Paradise then let him stick to the Jamaa'ah. He whose good deed pleases him and his evil deed causes him to feel bad then he is a believer." [Ahmad; Tirmidhi; Hakim] Anas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reports that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "Indeed the Children of Isra'il divided into seventy one sects and my ummah will divide into seventy two sects, all of them will be in the fire except one and that is the Jamaa'ah." [Ibn Maajah]
[⭕️: 3- Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) said that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “He who sees from his ruler something he dislikes, let him be patient with him, for he who splits away from the Jamaa'ah by a hand-span and then dies, dies a death of Jaahiliyyah." [Bukhari; Muslim; Ahmad]; Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) said that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “He who sees from his ruler something he dislikes, let him be patient with him, for he who splits away from the Jamaa'ah by a hand-span then he has thrown off the yoke of Islam from his neck." [Tirmidhi; Sharhu’l-Aqidatu’t-Tahawiyyah, 379-382]
💥The Companions are the Foundation of the Jamaa’ah
💠The foundation upon which the Jamaa'ah is built is the Companions of Muhammad May Allah's Mercy be upon them all. They are Ahlu’s-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa'ah [⭕️4], so whoever does not take from them has gone astray and innovated [⭕️5] and every innovation is misguidance, and misguidance and its People are in the Fire [⭕️6].
[⭕️4: - Abd-Allah ibn Amr said that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "What happened to the Children of lsra'il will happen with my ummah, just as one shoe resembles the other, to the point that if one of them had intercourse with his mother openly, there would be someone who did that in my ummah. The Children of Isra'il split into seventy two sects and my ummah will split into seventy three sects, all of which are in the Fire except one sect. They asked: Which is that one, O RasulAllah? He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied: That which I and my Companions are upon." [Tirmidhi]
[⭕️5 : - It is authentically reported that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "Stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after me, cling to that with your molar teeth and beware of new matters, for every innovation is misguidance.

[Bukhari; Muslim; Ahmad]; Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) said that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: “He who sees from his ruler something he dislikes, let him be patient with him, for he who splits away from the Jamaa'ah by a hand-span then he has thrown off the yoke of Islam from his neck." [Tirmidhi; Sharhu’l-Aqidatu’t-Tahawiyyah, 379-382]
💥The Companions are the Foundation of the Jamaa’ah
💠The foundation upon which the Jamaa'ah is built is the Companions of Muhammad May Allah's Mercy be upon them all. They are Ahlu’s-Sunnah wa’l-Jamaa'ah [⭕️4], so whoever does not take from them has gone astray and innovated [⭕️5] and every innovation is misguidance, and misguidance and its People are in the Fire [⭕️6].
[⭕️4: - Abd-Allah ibn Amr said that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "What happened to the Children of lsra'il will happen with my ummah, just as one shoe resembles the other, to the point that if one of them had intercourse with his mother openly, there would be someone who did that in my ummah. The Children of Isra'il split into seventy two sects and my ummah will split into seventy three sects, all of which are in the Fire except one sect. They asked: Which is that one, O RasulAllah? He (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) replied: That which I and my Companions are upon." [Tirmidhi]
[⭕️5 : - It is authentically reported that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "Stick to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided Caliphs after me, cling to that with your molar teeth and beware of new matters, for every innovation is misguidance.
" [Ahmad; Abu Dawud; Tirmidhi; Ibn Maajah; Darimi; Ibn Abi Aasim, as-Sunnah, # 54]
[⭕️6 : - Jaabir (Rady'Allahu anhu) reports that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) would say in his khutbah: "The most truthful speech is the Book of Allah. The best way is the way of Muhammad. The worst of affairs are the novelties and every novelty is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance and every misguidance is in the Fire." [Nasai]

🔰The Sunnah is Islam and Islam is the Sunnah
⭕️All the Affairs have been made Clear by the Sunnah and the Jamaa’ah
💠Umar ibn al-Khattab (Rady'Allahu anhu) said: "There is no excuse for anyone going astray thinking that he is upon guidance. Nor for abandoning guidance thinking it to be misguidance, since the affairs have been made clear, the proof established [⭕️7] and the excuse cut off." [Ibn Battah, al-lbanatu’l-Kubra] [⭕️8] That is because the Sunnah and the Jamaa'ah have consolidated and safeguarded all of the Religion. It has been made clear to the people, so it is upon the people to comply and follow [⭕️9].
[⭕️7 : - al-Irbaad ibn Saariyah (Rady'Allahu anhu) reports that RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said: "I have left you upon clear guidance. Its night is like its day. No one deviates from it after me except that he is destroyed." [Ahmad; Ibn Maajah; Hakim]
[⭕️8 : - Umar ibn Abdu’l-Aziz (Rahimahu'Allah) said: "There is no excuse for anyone, after the Sunnah, to be misguided upon error which he thought was guidance." [al-Marwazi, as-Sunnah, # 95]
[⭕️9 : - Abd-Allah ibn Mas’ud (Rady'Allahu anhu) said: "Follow and do not innovate, for you have been given that which is sufficient and every innovation is misguidance." [Abu Khaithamah, Kitaabu’l-Ilm, # 540]
🔰Adhering to the Understanding of the Companions
💥Allah subhanahu wa taala have mercy upon you. Know that the Religion is what came from Allah, the Blessed and Most High. It is not something left to the intellect and opinions of men. Knowledge it is what comes from Allah and His Messenger, so do not follow anything based upon your desires and so deviate away from the Religion and leave Islam.
🍃There will be no excuse for you since Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) explained the Sunnah to his ummah and made it clear to his Companions and they are the Jamaa'ah, and they are the Main Body (as-Sawaadu’l-A'dham), and the Main Body is the truth and its followers [⭕️10]. So he who contradicts the Companions of Allah's Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in any of the affairs of the Religion, then he has fallen into disbelief [⭕️11].
[⭕️10 : - Abu Umaamah al-Baahili (Rady'Allahu anhu) said: "Stick to the main body (as-Sawaadu’l-A'dham), so a man said: What is the 'Main Body'? So Abu Umaamah said: This Ayah in Surah an-Nur: "But if you turn away, he Muhammad is only responsible for the duty placed on him and you for that placed on you." [an-Nur 24/54].” [Ahmad, Musnad] Ibn Mas’ud (Rady'Allahu anhu) said: "The Jamaa'ah is what conforms to the truth, even if you are alone." [Ibn Asaakir, Tarikh Dimashq]
[⭕️11 : - Allah (jalla jalaluhu) did not only warn against opposing His Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) but also warned against the following of any way other than that of the first believers: the Companions amongst whom the Qur'an was sent down and who learned directly from the Messenger (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam).
Allah (jalla jalaluhu) says: ”If anyone contends with the Messenger even after guidance has been plainly conveyed to him and follows a path other than that of the Believers (i.e., the Companions), We shall leave him in the path he has chosen and land him in Hell. What an evil refuge!” [an-Nisa 4/115] So he who totally abandons their way and instead follows the way of the devils, like the extreme Rafidis, Batinis and the extreme Sufis who worship others besides Allah, then he has left the religion.
🔥All Innovation (in the Religion) is Misguidance
🔰Know that the people never introduce an innovation until they abandon its like from the Sunnah [⭕️12]. So, beware of newly invented matters, since every newly invented matter is an innovation and every innovation is misguidance and misguidance and its people are in the Fire.

♨️All Major Innovations and Deviations Begin Small and Insignificant
🚫Beware of small innovations because they grow until they become large [⭕️13]. This is the case with every innovation introduced in this ummah. It began as something small, bearing resemblance to the truth which is why those who entered it were mislead and then were unable to leave it. So it grew and became the religion which they followed and thus deviated from the Straight Path and left Islam [⭕️14].
[⭕️13 : - A striking example of how small innovations lead a person into committing major innovations is as follows: “Amr ibn Salmah said: We used to sit by the door of Abd-Allah ibn Mas’ud (Rady'Allahu anhu) before the Morning Prayer, so that when he came out we would walk with him to the mosque. (One day) Abu Musa al-Ashari (Rady'Allahu anhu) came to us and said: Has Abu Abdu’r-Rahman (i.e., Ibn Mas’ud) come out yet? We replied: No! So he sat down with us until he came out. When he came out, we all stood along with him, so Abu Musa (Rady'Allahu anhu) said to him:
O Abu Abdu’r-Rahman! I have just seen something in the mosque which I deemed to be evil, but all praise is for Allah, I did not see anything except good. He enquired: Then what is it? (Abu Musa) replied: If you live you will see it. I saw in the mosque people sitting in circles awaiting the Prayer. In each circle they had pebbles in their hands and a man would say 'repeat Allahu Akbar a hundred times.' So they would repeat it a hundred times.
Then he would say: 'say La ilaha illaAllah a hundred times.' So they would say it a hundred times. Then he would say: 'say SubhanAllah a hundred times.' So they would say it a hundred times." (Ibn Mas’ud) asked: What did you say to them? (Abu Musa) said: I did not say anything to them. Instead I waited to hear you view or what you declared. (Ibn Mas’ud) replied: Would that you had ordered them to count up the evil deeds they acquired and assured them that their good deeds would not be lost!
Then we went along with him (Ibn Mas’ud) until he came to one of these circles and stood and said: What is this which I see you doing? They replied: O Abu Abdu’r-Rahman! These are pebbles upon which we are counting takbir, tahlil and tasbih. He said: Count up your evil deeds. I assure you that none of your good deeds will be lost. Woe to you, O ummah of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam)! How quickly you go to destruction!
These are the Companions of your Prophet and who are widespread. There are his clothes which have not yet decayed and his bowl which is unbroken. By Him in Whose Hand is my soul! Either you are upon a Religion better guided than the Religion of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) or that you are opening the door of misguidance.
They said: O Abu Abdu’r-Rahman! By Allah, we only intended good. He said: How many there are who intend good but do not achieve it. Indeed RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) said to us: “A people will recite the Qur'an but it will not pass beyond their throats.” By Allah! I do not know, perhaps most of them are from you. Then he left them. Umar ibn Salmah (the sub-narrator) said: We saw most of those people fighting against us on the day of Nahrawaan, along with the Khawarij.” [Darimi, Sunnan, 1/79]

🍃Know that leaving the correct path occurs in two ways. Firstly: that a man strays from the correct path intending nothing but good, so his error is not to be followed since it leads to destruction. (Secondly), a man who deliberately opposes the truth and acts contrary to the Salaf (pious ones who came before him), he is astray, leading others astray, a rebellious devil within the ummah.

💥Islam is Complete and Requires Only Submission
🔰Allah (subhanahu wa ta'ala) have mercy upon you! Know that a servant's Islam is not complete until he follows, attests to and submits to (the truth). So anyone who claims that there remains anything from Islam not sufficiently explained by the Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) has falsely accused them, has split from them and spoken ill of them. He is an innovator, astray and leading others astray, introducing into Islam that which is not from it[⭕️16].
16 : - Ibn Mas’ud (Rady'Allahu anhu) described the Companions of RasulAllah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) saying: "Allah looked into the hearts of the servants and found the heart of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) to be the best of hearts, so He chose him for Himself and sent with him His Revelation, then He looked into the hearts of the servants after the heart of Muhammad (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) and found the hearts of his Companions to be the best of the hearts of the servants, so He made them the helpers of His Prophet, fighting for His Religion. So that which the Muslims hold to be good is good with Allah and that which they hold to be bad is bad with Allah." [Ahmad, Musnad]

Hasan replied: As for me, I know my religion, If you have lost your religion then go and look for it."

🔰Among the causes of having worries disappear and sins forgiven is sending ṣalāh (supplications for peace) upon the Prophet ﷺ, and the effect of sending ṣalāh upon him on Friday is greatest.
💠Ubayy ibn Kaʻb, may Allah be pleased with him, said,
🔰"O Messenger of Allah, I frequently invoke the blessings of Allah upon you. How much of my supplications should I devote to you?"
💢He, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, said, "Whatever you wish." I said, "A quarter?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "One half?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Two thirds?" He said, "Whatever you wish, and if you do more, it is better for you." I said, "Shall I devote all my supplication to (invoking blessings upon) you?"
💥He said, "Then, you will be freed from your worry and your sin will be forgiven."
[At-Tirmithi: good-authentic; Al-Haakim in Al-Mustadrak]
💠Anas bin Maalik (radhi Allaahu anhu) said: Verily the Prophet (salla Allahu alaihi wa sallam) said:
💥Whoever sends Salah upon me once Allah will send ten (blessings) upon him and remove ten of his sins and raise his rank by ten levels.
[Imam Ahmad in his Musnad, Imam Bukharee in Adabul Mufrad #642 and #643. Jami Sagheer #6359 authenticated by Al Abaanee]
💠“Truly Allah and His angels say Salah on the Prophet, O you believers, recite Salah on him and send Salam on him completely.” [Al-Ahzab | C.33: A.56]
💠 Ibn Abbas (Rady'Allahu anhu) reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ, said,
‼️"Whoever forgets to send blessings upon me, he has missed a path to Paradise."
[Sunan Ibn Mäjah 908]
