*THE VIRTUE OF THE ACCEPTED ḤAJJ AND ITS DESCRIPTIONS* Abū Hurayrah (may ALLĀH be pleased with him) narrated: I heard ALLĀH’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “ _From one ‘umrah to the next is an expiation for whatever comes in between them, and an accepted Ḥajj has no reward except Paradise_ .” {Al-Bukhārī #1683 and Muslim #1349}. The ḥadīth is evidence for the virtue of the accepted Ḥajj and the tremendous reward for it with ALLĀH, the Most High, since the one who achieves that is from those who are successful in achieving the pleasure of ALLĀH and HIS Paradise. Also, his reward is not limited to the expiation of some of his sins but it is also a must that he enters Paradise. *The accepted Ḥajj has descriptions:* *The First* : The wealth spent to perform it must be ḥalāl due to the statement of the Prophet (ﷺ): “ _Indeed, ALLĀH is good and HE only accepts that which is good…_ ” {Muslim #1015} *The Second* : Sincerity in actions for ALLĀH, the Most High, and following the Sunnah of the Messenger (ﷺ). *The Third:* Keeping away from acts of disobedience, sins, innovations and matters which contradict the Sunnah, and that he returns better than when he left. *The Fourth* : Good manners, gentleness, and humility in his transportation and living arrangements, his interacting with others, and in every situation just as the Prophet (ﷺ) was during his performance of Ḥajj. Ibn ‘Abdul-Barr (may ALLĀH have mercy on him) said, “ _The accepted Ḥajj is that which has no showing-off or seeking fame, no obscenity or evil, and is done with ḥalāl wealth._ ” {At-Tahmid (22/39)} It is emphasized the the pilgrim must know the rulings of Ḥajj and the description of the correct manner it must be performed in either by reading books covering Ḥajj rites, asking someone whose knowledge he trusts or having a student accompany him so he can benefit from him. It is an obligation upon him to exalt the symbols of ALLĀH, the Most High, and sense the virtue of the rituals and their places. So, he performs the rites in a manner of exaltation, reverence, love and submission to ALLĀH, the Lord of all creation. A sign of that is that he performs the rituals of Ḥajj with tranquillity and dignity and he is deliberate in his actions and statements. He is cautious against the haste that many people are upon at this time. He accustoms himself to patience in performing acts of obedience to ALLĀH, the Most High. Indeed, this is closer to acceptance and greater in reward. 📚 Ahadith about the Tens Days of Dhul-Hijjah and the Days of Tashriq, Rulings and Manners || Page 28-29 ========================= 𝗥𝗲𝗮𝗱, 𝗦𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗲 & 𝗙𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗼𝘄 𝗨𝘀: 𝑻𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒈𝒓𝒂𝒎 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒍: t.me/islamicknowledgereminders 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒔𝑨𝒑𝒑 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒏𝒆𝒍: Whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaESWXU0QeakndIYqZ1Y
