Narrated by Abu Dawood, 1398; Classed as saheeh by shk al-Albaani (رحمه الله) 

*The Muqantireen* are those who will be given a qintaar of reward. A qintaar is a large amount of gold, and most of the scholars of Arabic language are of the view that it is 4000 dinars or a qintaar is a bull’s hide full of gold, or 80,000, or a large but unspecified amount of wealth.

Al-Haafiz Ibn Hajar (رحمه الله) said: _From Surah al-Mulk to the end of the Qur’aan is 1000 verses. So, whoever prays qiyaam reciting from Surah al-Mulk to Surah an-Naas, the end of Quran has prayed qiyaam with 1000 verses._ We can also remind ourselves how it should be prayed from the first Hadith. Which two at a time and so on. One can pray the wire before one commence when he fears of approaching the fajr prayer. *May Allah bless us to be able to perform it...AMIN*

*Let's continue on these Hadiths*👇.                                            Volume 1, Book 9, Number 485:

Narrated Nafi:

"The Prophet used to make his she-camel sit across and he would pray facing it (as a Sutra)." I asked, "What would the Prophet do if the she-camel was provoked and moved?" He said, "He would take its camel-saddle and put it in front of him and pray facing its back part (as a Sutra). And Ibn 'Umar used to do the same." (This indicates that one should not pray except behind a Sutra).

Volume 1, Book 9, Number 489:

Narrated Busr bin Said:

that Zaid bin Khalid sent him to Abi Juhaim to ask him what he had heard from Allah's Apostle about a person passing in front of another person who was praying. Abu Juhaim replied, "Allah's Apostle said, 'If the person who passes in front of another person in prayer knew the magnitude of his sin he would prefer to wait for 40 (days, months or years) rather than to pass in front of him." Abu An-Nadr said, "I do not remember exactly whether he said 40 days, months or years."

Volume 1, Book 10, Number 564:

Narrated 'Aisha:

By Allah, Who took away the Prophet. The Prophet never missed them (two Rakat) after the 'Asr prayer till he met Allah and he did not meet Allah till it became heavy for him to pray while standing so he used to offer most of the prayers while sitting. (She meant the two Rakat after Asr) He used to pray them in the house and never prayed them in the mosque lest it might be hard for his followers and he loved what was easy for them .

The two raka'ats after Asr referring to in this third Hadith is, immediately before msgrib. Since we had already said though it is prohibited to pray between fajr and Zuhr, one can do that immediately before zuhr. Also one can pray a nawafil before a Sunnah even though it's time had elapsed. For instance, praying the two raka'ats before Fajr at the time of Asr or any given time. This may be due to one or two reasons why you missed the fajr prayer.

From the first two Hadiths, it is sunnah to have a barrier (sutrah) in front, when praying, that will prevent people from walking in front of you, and to enable you to focus properly on the actions of the prayer.
The Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said: When one of you prays, let him pray facing a sutrah and let him draw close to it and not let anyone pass in front of him.  And let one of you use a sutrah when praying, even if it is an arrow.
___*PAGE 8*__.

                                     According to scholarly consensus, in the case of one who is praying behind an imam, it is not recommended for him to use a sutrah, because the sutrah of the imam is the sutrah of the one who is praying behind him, or because the imam is a sutrah for him.
Some of the scholars said that the distance in this case is either three cubits away from where the worshipper is standing, or the space that a sheep would need to pass in front of the worshipper when he prostrates. This is the distance prescribed for the sutrah to be in front of the worshipper, and this is the view of many scholars.

It was narrated that Sahl ibn Sa’d [ رضى الله عنه ] said: Between the place where the Messenger of Allaah صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ prayed and the wall was a space that would allow a sheep to pass.
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 474; Muslim, 508).      
It was narrated from Naafi’ that whenever ‘Abd-Allaah ibn ‘Umar [ رضى الله عنه ] entered the Ka’bah, he would walk towards the opposite wall, with the door behind him. So, he would walk towards the wall until he was three cubits away from it, then he would pray in the place which Bilaal [ رضى الله عنه ] told him the Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ had prayed. (narrated by Sahih al-Bukhaari, 484)

Walking straight in front of the door, if the wall is the sutra, then this distance is approximately 4 feet. Hence, this distance is to be avoided from passing by in front of any person praying. Once again, Abdullah bin Umar [ رضى الله عنه ] here is imitating the actions of Prophet صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ exactly as done by him at the very same spot.

HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDER. Yaum Al-Khamis, 22nd day of Jumaadal Uula 1447AH, Thursday, 13th November, 2025.  *_HELPING OTHERS WITH INTENTION FOR ALLAH'S HELP IN RETURN_*. BismilLah.  When we help our brothers and sisters in Islam, in reality, we are helping ourselves. The Messenger of ALLAH (S.A.W) said: He who relieves the hardship of a believer in this world, ALLAH Azzawajallah will relieve his hardship on the Day of Judgment. He who makes easy what is difficult, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will make it easy for him in the world and the hereafter. He who conceals the faults of a Muslim, ALLAH ALLAH Azzawajallah will conceal his faults in this ALLAH Azzawajallah world and the Hereafter, for ALLAH helps the servant as long as he helps his brother. Source: Ṣaḥīḥ "Muslim 2699. AlhamdulilLah.  With this I hope with immediate effect we will all strive to help each other in any possible way such as making dua for each other, supporting our relatives and those in need in ou...

NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH

 DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yawm Arba'a. 29th day of Shaw'waal, 1445AH (Wednesday 8th May 2024). *_NOTHING HAPPENS WITHOUT THE PERMISSION OF ALLAH_*. BismilLah.  Even though feelings of Panic, stress/worries etc are part of life, they must not reduce our acts of worship or trust in ALLAH. The more a man turns to ALLAH and focuses on HIM, the more he will feel a sense of peace and comfort, to an extent that no one knows except ALLAH. Hence those who know ALLAH, are close to HIM and fear HIM are the happiest of people, to such an extent that one of them said, in a well-known expression: “If the kings and the sons of kings knew what joy we have, they would fight us for it with the sword.” This is also what is expressed in the Qur’an, as ALLAH says: “Whoever works righteousness, whether male or female, while he (or she) is a true believer (of Islamic Monotheism) verily, to him ALLAH will give a good life (in this world with respect, contentment and lawful provision), and ALLAH will ...

BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD

 *BEST TIME FOR TAHAJJUD* It is best to delay this prayer to the last third portion of the night. Abu Hurairah reports that the Messenger of Allah said: "Our Lord descends to the lowest heaven during the last third of the night, inquiring: 'Who will call on Me so that I may respond to him? Who is asking something of Me so I may give it to him? Who is asking for My forgiveness so I may forgive him?"' This is related by the group. 'Amr ibn Abasah reports that he heard the Prophet say: "The closest that a slave comes to his Lord is during the middle of the latter portion of the night. If you can be among those who remember Allah, the Exalted One, at that time then do so." This is related by al-Hakim who grades it sahih according to Muslim's standards, and at-Tirmizhi calls it hasan sahih. AnNasa'i and Ibn Khuzaimah also recorded it. Abu Muslim asked Abu Zharr: "Which late-night prayer is the best?" He said: "I asked the Messenger of A...
