Many of the Sunan Ahaadith compilers followed in the footsteps of Imaam Maalik and also gathered Ahaadith that cover diverse topics in ”kitabu al-jaami” in their various compilations that always come as the last chapters of their compilations.
One of such is that of Imaam Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalaani’s ‘Bulughu Al-Maraam’ which we have presented in its entirety to our members as Daily Posts.
Below is a summary of the most important matters found in this illuminating Chapter:
- The importance of having good behaviours, character and manners were emphasized. Ethics and Comportment were stressed.
- They showed the importance of been pious, righteous and good to others especially keeping ties with one’s kin.
- They encouraged us to distance ourselves from unclear issues so that we do not fall into Haraam.
- They encouraged us to use our life and time accorded to us by Allah to attain Allah’s pleasure in the Hereafter before death approaches us.
- They admonished us against any form of mischievous conduct be it envy, oppression, niggardliness and showing-off etc.
- Lastly, they encouraged us to always remember Allah in Dhikr, emphasized its importance, and supplicate to Him by saying the aforementioned Du’as in the chapter in other to attain the pleasure of Allah and for our Du’a to also be accepted.
These and many are things that the Believer, in his journey through the dangers of this world, cannot do without.
Allaahu A’alam!
Baarakallaahu feekum!
