Best of you

21. "The best of you are those who feed others and return greetings." [Abu Ya'lâ, Hasan]

Quotes to remember

24. Ibn ‘Abbas (ra) narrated, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “And when you get angry, keep silent.” (Ahmad, Ibn Abi Dunya, al-Tabarani, and al-Bayhaqi)

Salafs sayings

Abu ad-Dardaa narrated [Saheeh Muslim, No.6588]: The Messenger of Allaah said: «No believing servant supplicates for his brother behind his back (in his absence), except that the Angels say: "The same be for you too".»
al-Imaam an-Nawawee comments [Riyaadh as-Saaliheen #1494]: This hadeeth makes it evident that one who prays for someone in his absence also stands to benefit from it because the angel appointed for the task of praying for those who pray for others will pray for him, saying, "O Allaah! Grant him also the same which he has asked for others".

The explanation of (those in authority) in the Aayah

 


Question:

May Allaah reward you, noble shaykh, what is your opinion with regards to the one who says: that which is intended by "those in authority" that are mentioned in the Aayah[1] they are the Ulemaa and not the Rulers?
Answer:

This is a mistake, because the Aayah is inclusive, including the Ulemaa and the Rulers, this is what is correct. Indeed it includes the Rulers and the Ulemaa (Scholars), it is said about all of them:
Ãõæúáöí ÇáÃóãúÑö

"those in authority."
