Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 25 The Ascetic  The 3 partners in Wealth For the majority of the believers what is little and sufficient is far better than the abundant and alluring. Give your wealth in charity and you might perhaps get relief from the severities of the world. Greed is killing you whilst you can never fulfil it (Ibn Abee Dunyaa). They breed what they will bury. They build what will eventually be destroyed. They hold firmly to what is temporary, And They foraskew the everlasting, Abu Zharr (ra). The 3 partners in wealth; Predestination, Heir & You. Thus you strive your utmost and never be the most helpless of the 3. You will never attain piety until you spend out of that which you love (not which is spare) Surah 3 v92. The one rich in his heart will not be harmed by what they face in the world Whilst the one poor in his heart will not be enriched by how much they acquire of this world (Tabrani).

O Abu Zharr (ra), this person [wearing worn out clothing] is better in the sight of Allah SWT on The last Day than the entire earth filled with the one wearing wealthy attire (Ahmad). Being wealthy is to have a rich heart and being destitute means to have a poor heart... (Ibn Hibbaan). Whoever loses out on a large share of wealth in the worldly life will be compensated in the Hereafter with a good deed (Fathul Baaree). Ju'ayl ibn Suraaqah al Dhimree (ra) is entrusted with Faith, whilst Uyanah & Aqra (rah) are given camels (Ibn Ishaaq).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 23 The Ascetic  Wealth ...O Abu Zharr (ra) the rich would be poor on The Last Day except for the generous (which are only a few) (Muslim). O Abu Zharr (ra)  I turn to the lesser and you turn to the greater I intend the Hereafter whilst you intend this world (Bazzar). The Messenger ﷺ never kept anything for the next day  (Baihaqi).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 22 The Ascetic  Wealth My intimate friend ﷺ had promised me that whatever gold, silver or Ooqiyah one has, then it is a firebrand for his owner until he dispenses with it in Allah SWT cause (Ahmad). O Bilal (ra) Do not fear parsimony from the Owner of The Throne SWT for Allah SWT provides the livelihood for each morning (Ahmad). The best charity is the utmost effort from a destitute (Ahmad). Whilst under the shade of the Kaba, The Messenger ﷺ said the ones in great loss are those... 'Who are very rich and well to do. Amongst them only they are safe from loss who spend their wealth openly in the front from behind from the left and the right, but such servants are very few amongst the rich O Abu Zharr (ra)' (Muslim).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 19 The Ascetic  The clean pure earth is the Wudhoo of a Muslim even if this lasts upto 10 years, however when you find water then let it touch your skin for that is better (Abu Dawood). 'Wudho performed correctly is half of Faith' (Namee). 'Islam is nothing but cleanliness' (Tabarani). 'The key to salah is purification' (Abu Dawood).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 20 The Ascetic  Verily the obligatory prayers are an expiation for whatever comes in between ... (Ahmad). The greatest favour to a bondsman in the world is for him to be given the ability to offer 2 Rakaahs of Salaah (Tabarani). 'Salaah is the key to All Goodness' (Haakim). Islaam is the Apex of everything & Salaah is its Pillar (Tirmidhi).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 21 The Ascetic  Laylatul Qadr Laylatul Qadr remains till the Last day... (Haakim). Had people not left their Salaah except for that one night, I would now have informed you (Lalatul Qadr) (Tabarani). 'You are a nation for whom Allah SWT wants ease' (Ahmad). Whoever is deprived of its Blessings (the night of Qadr) is then deprived of All Good (Naaa'ee).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 18 The Ascetic  Welcome O Seeker Knowledge! O Abu Zharr (ra) if you learn a verse of The book of Allah SWT then it is better for you than offering 100 optional units of prayer. If you go out in the morning to learn a chapter of knowledge, whether you act theron or not, it is better for you than offering 1000 optional units of prayer (Ibn Majah). Abu Zharr (ra) advises that it is better to make knowledge your pillow than making ignorance your pillow ( for you will not know the way out of your predicaments, Tanbeehul Ghaafileen) The best worship is the seeking of knowledge (Tabarani). Verily Allah SWT & His Angels (as) send Salaah upon the person who teaches the people good (Tirmidhi).

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 17 The Ascetic  The Scriptures of Ibrahim (as) & Moosa (as), Surah 87 v19. The Scriptures of Ibrahim (as) were full of parables & expressions such as... 'O conquering, troubled and deceived king! I SWT have not sent you to gather the things of this world and to heap piles upon another - but I SWT have sent you to prevent the plea of the oppressed from reaching Me SWT because I SWT never reject such a plea even though it may come from an unbeliever.' As long as a thinking man does not lose his sense, he should distribute his time in a few activities... Time to converse with his Lord Time to engage in introspection Time to contemplate over the creations of his Lord Time to for his food & drink The Scriptures of Moosa (as) were Core lessons... I SWT am astonished at the person who is convinced about death yet enjoys himself I SWT am astonished at the person who is convinced about the Fire of Jahannam yet he continues to laugh. I SWT am astonished at the person who see

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 16 The Ascetic  The Fathomless Vessel of Sacred Knowledge Abu Zharr (ra) was with the Messenger ﷺ when intercession was granted for those who do not take partners with Allah SWT (Ahmad). My ﷺ intercession is for the major sinner (Tirmidhi). I ﷺ am for the worst of my Ummah (Daraqutni). An amazed Abu Zharr (ra) when he realises the reward of The Kalimah (Muslim). The Messenger ﷺ will intercede many times For the accounts to start. Intercede to allow some to enter Paradise without reckoning. Intercede for those deserving of Hell but saved due to it. Intercede for those Muslims who are in Hell to be taken out. Intercede to reduce the punishment of certain unbelievers.

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 15 The Ascetic  The Messenger ﷺ is commanded to Love 4... Alee is one of them [stated thrice] Abu Zharr Miqdaad Salmaan (raa) (Tirmidhi). Allah SWT defends Salmaan, Abu Zharr & others (raa) in Surah 18 v27-28 (Abu Nu'aym). The tremendous rank of these Companions, the awesome praise of their daily worship & the sincerity of their worship!

Hadrat Abu Zharr (ra). Session 14 The Ascetic  A verse which if people follow, would be sufficient for them, Surah 62 v2-3 (Nas'aaee). Ibn Masood (ra), the greatest verse in the Quran that contains the most relief, Surah 62 v2-3 (Ibn Abee Haatim). "For those who fear Allah SWT He SWT provides a way out for them He SWT provides them with provisions from sources they could never have imagined." The Mutaqeen - the one who abandons what is harmless out of fear of falling into that which is harmful (Tirmidhi).
