Chapter 341: About Which Invocation the One who committed a prohibited Deed should invoke

Chapter Introduction

٣٤١ ــ باب ما يقوله وما يفعله من ارتكب منهيا عنه

Translation: [ As we have explained, Islam looks at man as a weak creature that id liable to err. This is his nature and he will never abadon it. The only exception to this rule is the

Prophets and Messengers of Allah السلَام عليهم They . are the

Translation: unfalible.

Translation: It is a golden rule of Islam that Allah does not task a soul beyond its capacity. This is stated by many verses of the Noble Koran. Allah says:

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:285)
آمَنَ الرَّسُولُ بِمَا أُنزِلَ إِلَيْهِ مِن رَّبِّهِ وَالْمُؤْمِنُونَ ۚ كُلٌّ آمَنَ بِاللَّهِ وَمَلَائِكَتِهِ وَكُتُبِهِ وَرُسُلِهِ لَا نُفَرِّقُ بَيْنَ أَحَدٍ مِّن رُّسُلِهِ ۚ وَقَالُوا سَمِعْنَا وَأَطَعْنَا ۖ غُفْرَانَكَ رَبَّنَا
( سُورَةُ البَقَرَةِ (2:285) )

Translation: " Allah burdens not a person beyond his scope. He gets reward for that (good) which he has earned, and he is punished for that (evil) which he has earned. " Our Lord! Punish us not if we forget or fall into error, our Lord! Lay not on us a burden like what You did lay on those before us (the Jews and the Christians); our Lord! Put not on us a burden greater than we have strength to bear. Pardon us and grant us Forgiveness. Have mercy on us. You are our Patron. So, give us victory over the disbelieving people * " S: 2-285. And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ الطَّلَاقِ (65:7)
لِيُنفِقْ ذُو سَعَةٍ مِّن سَعَتِهِ ۖ وَمَن قُدِرَ عَلَيْهِ رِزْقُهُ فَلْيُنفِقْ مِمَّا آتَاهُ اللَّهُ ۚ لَا يُكَلِّفُ اللَّهُ نَفْسًا إِلَّا مَا آتَاهَا ۚ سَيَجْعَلُ اللَّهُ بَعْدَ عُسْرٍ يُسْرًا
( سُورَةُ الطَّلَاقِ (65:7) )

Translation: “ Let the rich man spend according to his means; and the man whose resources are restricted, let him spend according to what Allah has given him. Allah puts no burden on any person beyond what He has given him. Allah will grant after hardship, ease 377 S: 65-7.

Translation: Had Islam tasked man beyond his capacity, Reckoning would have not been. Thus Islam treats man as man. It does not treat him as angels.

Translation: Thus, man is liable to err and wrong himself by oppressing others and transgressing the limits imposed by Allah. What one should do if he acted improperly? This is the subject matter of the following chapter.

Now, let us read what Imam Al-Nawawi compiled in the same concern.]

Allah said:

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ فُصِّلَتۡ (41:36)
وَإِمَّا يَنزَغَنَّكَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ نَزْغٌ فَاسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُ هُوَ السَّمِيعُ الْعَلِيمُ
( سُورَةُ فُصِّلَتۡ (41:36) )

Translation: “ And if an evil whisper from Satan tries to turn you away (O Muhammadfrom doing good deed, then seek refuge in Allah. Verily, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Knower *** S: 41-36. And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ الأَعۡرَافِ (7:201)
إِنَّ الَّذِينَ اتَّقَوْا إِذَا مَسَّهُمْ طَائِفٌ مِّنَ الشَّيْطَانِ تَذَكَّرُوا فَإِذَا هُم مُّبْصِرُونَ
( سُورَةُ الأَعۡرَافِ (7:201) )

Translation: " Verily, when an evil thought occurs to the pious people from Satan, they remember (Allah), and (indeed) they then see (aright) S: 7-201. And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:135)
وَالَّذِينَ إِذَا فَعَلُوا فَاحِشَةً أَوْ ظَلَمُوا أَنفُسَهُمْ ذَكَرُوا اللَّهَ فَاسْتَغْفَرُوا لِذُنُوبِهِمْ وَمَن يَغْفِرُ الذُّنُوبَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ وَلَمْ يُصِرُّوا عَلَىٰ مَا فَعَلُوا وَهُمْ يَعْلَمُونَ أُولَٰئِكَ جَزَاؤُهُم مَّغْفِرَةٌ مِّن رَّبِّهِمْ وَجَنَّاتٌ تَجْرِي مِن تَحْتِهَا الْأَنْهَارُ خَالِدِينَ فِيهَا ۚ وَنِعْمَ أَجْرُ الْعَامِلِينَ
( سُورَةُ آلِ عِمۡرَانَ (3:135) )

Translation: " And those who, when they have committed Fahishah (improper deed) or wronged themselves with evil, they remember Allah and ask forgiveness for their sins and none can forgive sins but Allah. And they do not persist in what (wrong) they have done, while they know * For such, the reward is Forgiveness from their Lord, and Gardens with rivers flowing underneath (Paradise), wherein they shall abide forever. How excellent is this reward for the doers (who do righteous deeds according to Allah's Orders) ** S: 3-135,136. And

الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ النُّورِ (24:31)
وَقُل لِّلْمُؤْمِنَاتِ يَغْضُضْنَ مِنْ أَبْصَارِهِنَّ وَيَحْفَظْنَ فُرُوجَهُنَّ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ إِلَّا مَا ظَهَرَ مِنْهَا ۖ وَلْيَضْرِبْنَ بِخُمُرِهِنَّ عَلَىٰ جُيُوبِهِنَّ ۖ وَلَا يُبْدِينَ زِينَتَهُنَّ
( سُورَةُ النُّورِ (24:31) )
الْقُرْآنُ الْكَرِيمُسُورَةُ النُّورِ (24:31)
إِلَّا لِبُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَائِهِنَّ أَوْ آبَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَائِهِنَّ أَوْ أَبْنَاءِ بُعُولَتِهِنَّ أَوْ إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي إِخْوَانِهِنَّ أَوْ بَنِي أَخَوَاتِهِنَّ أَوْ نِسَائِهِنَّ أَوْ مَا مَلَكَتْ أَيْمَانُهُنَّ أَوِ التَّابِعِينَ غَيْرِ أُولِي الْإِرْبَةِ مِنَ الرِّجَالِ أَوِ الطِّفْلِ الَّذِينَ لَمْ يَظْهَرُوا عَلَىٰ عَوْرَاتِ النِّسَاءِ ۖ وَلَا يَضْرِبْنَ بِأَرْجُلِهِنَّ لِيُعْلَمَ مَا يُخْفِينَ مِن زِينَتِهِنَّ ۚ وَتُوبُوا إِلَى اللَّهِ جَمِيعًا أَيُّهَ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُفْلِحُونَ
( سُورَةُ النُّورِ (24:31) )

Translation: “ And tell the believing women to lower their gaze (from looking at men) and to protect their private parts (from illegal sexual acts) and not to show off their adornment except only what is apparent (both eyes for necessity to see the way, or outer palms of hands or one eye or dress like veil, gloves, head-cover, apron, etc.), and to draw their veils all over their bosoms and not to reveal their adornment except to their husbands, or their fathers, or their husband's fathers, or their sons, or their husband's sons, or their brothers or their brother's sons, or their sister's sons, or their (Muslim) women (their sisters in Islam), or the (female) slaves whom their right hands possess, or old male servants who lack vigor, or small children who have no sense of feminine sex And let them not stamp their feet so as to reveal what they hide of their adornment. And all of you beg Allah to forgive you all, O believers, that you may be successful ** S: 2431.

Hadith 1052: Hadith 1052

١٠٥٢ - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهِ عَنْهُ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُوَلَاللَّهِ صَلَّى اللّٰهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ( مَنْ حَلَفَ فَقَالَ فِي حَلِفِهِ : وَالّلاتِ وَالْعُزى فَلْيَقُلْ : لا إِلهَ إِلَّا اللَّهُ ، وَمَنْ قَالَ لِصَاحِبِهِ : تَعَالَى أَقامركَ ، فَلْيَتَصدق ) . رواه البخاري

Translation: 1052. Narrated Abu-Huraira; ' Allah's Messenger said: " Whoever takes an oath in which he (forgetfully) mentions Al-Lat and Al-Ozza 38 should say, La Ilaha Illallah 38 These are two names of idols that were worshipped in the pre- Islam era.

Translation: (None has the right to be worshipped except Allah). And whoever says to his companion; ' Come along, let us gamble, must give alms (as an expiation for his sin). ' (Bukhari)
