Stick to the Truth & Don’t Fear the People - Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid

Here is an excellent benefit from Abu Khadeejah Abdul-Waahid (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) in which he (hafidhahulllah Ta'ala) reminds us about the importance of asking Allah (subhanahu wa Ta'ala) to keep us firmly established upon the path that leads ultimately to His pleasure alone.  Hold firm to the truth and stand with the people of truth.

It is one of seven benefits that have been extracted from a khutbah titled: The Importance of being Firm Upon Salafiyyah.
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

The Bayaan Before the Friday Khutbah - Fareed Abdullah

Here is a piece of audio that I found on YouTube.  

Fareed Abdullah (rahimahullah Ta'ala) mentioned that the question asked was the following:

In some of the Masaajid there is a talk prior to the khutbah being given and it is done weekly as a part of the whole format of the Jumu'ah.  

He (rahimahullah Ta'ala) gave the following answer.

Neglecting the Jumu'ah Prayer Corrupts the Heart - Abu Idrees Muhammad

On the 6th of August 2021, I had the pleasure of attending a khutbah delivered at Masjid as-Salafi, Birmingham along with my two sons (hafidhahumullah Ta'ala) The khateeb on that day was Abu Idrees Muhammad ((hafidhahullah Ta'ala).  He delivered a khutbah that was later released on the SalafiSounds website with the title: Neglecting the Jumu’ah Prayer Corrupts the Heart.

You can download the complete khutbah from the link I have posted above.

It has been a very long time since I last heard a khutbah or a lecture talking about the virtues of Jumu'ah and its related affairs.

Bearing this in mind, I have taken the audio, carried out a little digital remastering, and extracted some of what I regard as the key points that should be taken away from it, although there is no doubt the entirety of this khutbah has numerous benefits that can be taken away from it.

Here are the six main ones I have selected to post here.  May Allah enable us to benefit fully from that which we hear, Aameen

1 - Some of the Virtues of the Day of Jumu’ah
2 - O You Who Believe, Hasten to the Remembrance of Allah!
3 - Our Sins can be Forgiven
4 - Hadeeth of Encouragement to Attend Jumu’ah
5 - Be from those whose Name is Written by the Angels
6 - Harms of Missing Jumu’ah
Abu Hurairah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Whoever invites to guidance will be rewarded like those who follow him in the guidance are rewarded, and that will not decrease the reward of those who have followed him." [Collected by Imām Muslim]

A Person is Upon the Way of His Friend - Abdulilah Lahmami

Abdulilah Lahmami (hafidhahullah Ta'ala) after praising Allah and sending blessings upon the Messenger of Allah (sallAllaahu ‘alaihi wa sallam) he says that he that will be talking about a topic taken from the works of Imam al-Khattābi (rahimahullah Ta’ala).  His name Muhammad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibraaheem ibn Khattāb al-Busti’ al-Khattābi, who was born in a place called Bust in Afghanistan from the area of Kabul and born in the year of 388H.  He travelled and heard hadeeth in Makkah, Basri & Baghdad in Iraq, hearing hadeeth from the likes of Ibn Hibban,  Abu Saeed ibn Arābi in Makkah, and other than him, and Muhammad ibn Ishaaq ibn Khuzaimah, Allāmah Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Harawi (rahimahumullah Ta’ala) and many others. 
 
Imam adh-Dhahabi said about Imam al-Khattābi:  If you were to look at his books you would realise his knowledge and his adherence to the Sunnah and Hadeeth.
 
He has an explanation of Saheeh al-Bukhāri and Sunnan Abee Dawūd and much, much more. 

Ibn Taymiyyah (rahimahullaah Ta’ala) praised him in the Majmoo al-Fataawa and other places regarding his writing on the Names and Attributes of Allah.

The explanation of the hadeeth that is used as the focal point for this lecture is the hadeeth about being careful who you take as your friend with the explanation of Imam al-Khattābi.

It has been taken from the SoundCloud account of Markaz Abdullah ibn al-Mubarak.

Following the Sunnah - Shaykh Badee Uddin Shah

A man asked the Imām of Dār al-Hijrah (i.e. Madinah) Mālik Ibn Anas (رحمه الله): “From where should I take the Ihrām for pilgrimage?” Imām Mālik responded: “From wherever the Prophet (‎ﷺ‎‬) took the Ihrām.” The man repeated himself a few times until he said: “So what if I add to that [place of Ihrām an extra distance]?” Mālik said: “Don’t do that, for I fear for you fitnah.” The man said: “What is there in this of fitnah? It is only a matter of miles I am adding to the place of Ihrām?!” Mālik said: “Indeed Allāh, the Most-High, said: ‎’Let those beware, who oppose the command of the Messenger lest some fitnah befalls them or a painful punishment is inflicted upon them.’* [An-Noor: 63]

Source: Al-Bā’ith ‘alā inkāril-bid’a wal-hawādith, 91, of Abu Shāmah (رحمه الله).

What I have done is slow the speed of this lecture down by 10%, this should make it considerably easier for the listeners to understand, in shaa Allah.

We will suffice with the fact, that a reminder truly benefits the believers.
