BENEFIT 185: Ahlus-Sunnah are the most compassionate people
Allah ﷻ said:
﴿فَبِمَا رَحۡمَةࣲ مِّنَ ٱللهِ لِنتَ لَهُمۡۖ وَلَوۡ كُنتَ فَظًّا غَلِیظَ ٱلۡقَلۡبِ لَٱنفَضُّوا۟ مِنۡ حَوۡلِكَ﴾
"It is out of Allah’s mercy that you ˹O Prophet˺ have been lenient with them. Had you been cruel or hard-hearted, they would have certainly abandoned you." [Surah Āli-ʿImrān: 159]
Sheikhul Islām Ibn Taymiyyah raḥimahullāh said:
«أهل السنة أعرف الناس بالحق، وهم أرحم الناس بالخلق».…
Ibn Taymiyyah raḥimahullāh wrote:
«والنصارى يسمون عيد المسلمين عيد "الله أكبر" لظهور التكبير فيه، وليس هذا لأحد من الأمم أهل الكتاب ولا غيرهم غير المسلمين».
"The Christians would refer to the holidays of the Muslims as 'the eid of Allahu akbar' due the open and widespread proclamation of "Allah akbar" on it. And this is something with no other nations - neither the Ahl al-Kitab or others - had except for the…
The complete blessing experienced during the days of Tashreeq
Ibn Rajab raḥimahullāh said:
«أيام التشريق يجتمع فيها للمؤمنين نعيم أبدانهم بالأكل والشرب، ونعيم قلوبهم بالذكر والشكر، وبذلك تتم النعم».
"During the Days of Tashreeq, believers experience the delight of their bodies through eating and drinking, coupled with the delight of their hearts through remembrance and gratitude. Thus the blessing is complete."
[Laṭā'if Al-Ma'ārif]

Verily, the eyes shed tears and the heart is grieved, but we will not say anything except what is pleasing to our Lord.

How Women Should Go Out On The Day Of 'Eid
The Prophet ﷺ said:
((لِيَخْرُجْنَ وَهُنَّ تَفِلاَت))
“But they may go out (to the masjid) having not perfumed themselves.”
[Saheeh Sunan Abi Dawood no. 565]
Shaikh Abdul-Muhsin al-‘Abbad hafidhuhallah explained:
“There is not with them a good scent. Verily, they come out in their usual scent which does not have perfume. Verily they come out of their houses without…
The Scholars of the Permanent Committee were asked:
Is it prescribed for the worshiper to say "Allāhu Akbar" after the Tasleem before seeking forgiveness three times, based on the word "Takbeer" in the ḥadīth of Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them: "I used to recognise the end of the prayer of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ by the Takbīr" [agreed upon]? If this is not permissible, what is meant by Takbīr in the…
Question: What is the ruling on saying Takbīr immediately after prayer before istighfār?
Sheikh Suleiman Ar-Ruhayli, waffaqullāh, stated:
"It is established from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, that he would recognise the end of the prayer by the Takbīr. The term "Takbīr" is general (مجمل); it can refer to the general remembrance (Dhikr) or specifically to saying "Allāhu Akbar." The Dhikr after prayer has been clarified in a detailed manner and does not include saying "Allāhu Akbar"…
The discussion regarding the restricted Takbīrs on Eid does not include the ḥadīth of Ibn 'Abbās
On the authority of Ibn 'Abbās:
«أَنَّ رَفْعَ الصَّوْتِ بِالذِّكْرِ حِينَ يَنْصَرِفُ النَّاسُ مِنَ المَكْتُوبَةِ كَانَ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ». وَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: «كُنْتُ أَعْلَمُ إِذَا انْصَرَفُوا بِذَلِكَ إِذَا سَمِعْتُهُ».
In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) it was the custom to say Dhikr aloud after the…
Reciting Takbīr after the obligatory prayers (التكبير المقيد) is specific to 'Eidul Aḍh-ḥā
The specific Takbīrs following the obligatory prayers have come from Salaf with relation to 'Eidul Aḍh-ḥā only.
Ibn Rajab stated in his commentary on Sahih Al-Bukhari:
«اتفق العلماء على أنه يشرع التكبير عقيب الصلوات في هذه الأيام في الجملة، وليس فيه حديث مرفوع صحيح، بل إنما فيه آثار عن الصحابة ومن بعدهم، وعمل المسلمين…
Takbīr should be said after istighfār
Sheikh 'Abdussalām Ash-Shuway'ir ḥafidhahullāh said:
"However, we have an important issue related to the timing of the restricted Takbīrs (التكبير المقيد) following the prayers. We know that the specific Takbīr occurs after the prayers, but should it precede seeking forgiveness or follow it? It has been established from the ḥadīth of Thawbān, 'Abduraḥman ibn 'Awf, and others…
Avoid reciting Takbīr in unison!
Imām 'Abul'Azīz ibn Bāz, may Allāh have mercy on him, said:
"As for the innovated practice of collective Takbīr, which is when a group of people—two or more—raise their voices in Takbīr simultaneously, starting and ending it together in unison and in a specific manner. This practice has no basis and no evidence to support it; it is an innovation in the manner of Takbīr for which…
Does it apply if one prays alone, and is it confined to obligatory prayers?
Ibn Qudāmah raḥimahullāh states concerning the issue of reciting Takbīr after the obligatory prayers (issue 1433):
"One continues to say Takbīr after each obligatory prayer performed in congregation. According to Abū Abdullāh (Imām Aḥmad), may Allāh have mercy on him, the Takbīr is recited after the obligatory prayers even if one is…
Saying Takbīr after the prayers
It has been established in the "Muṣannaf" of Ibn Abī Shaybah, "Al-Awsaṭ" of Ibn Al-Mundhir, "Sunan Al-Kubrā of Al-Bayhaqi, "Faḍl Al-'Ashr" by Imam Aṭ-Ṭabarāni, and other sources, that the Salaf would recite Takbīr after prayers starting from Fajr prayer on the Day of 'Arafah until after 'Aṣr prayer on the third day of Tashrīq (13th Dhul Ḥijjah). Some of them said it starts from…
