Shaykh ul-Islaam Ibn Taymeeyah رحمه الله said:
“The Deen will not be complete except by knowing the Prophetic Ahadeeth & Salafi Aathaar [narrations] according to what the Prophet & the Companions intended from the religious meanings, as were the scholars of the Salaf.”
[Jamia Al-Masail, (5/41)]
The Prophet ﷺ said:
No one is more patient in bearing hurtful words than Allah. They attribute a son to Him, yet He continues to grant them well-being and provide for them.
Abdullāh b. Masʿūd رضي الله عنه:
“We are unable to stand in the night prayer.”
To which he replied: “Your sins have taken you far away.”
It was also said to Al-Ḥasan: “We are unable to stand at night to pray.”
He said: “Your sins have tied you down. Indeed the kings are only in the privacy (khalwa) of those who are sincere in their love and interaction. As for the one who opposes them then they are not pleased with them.”
