All previous lessons, high-quality and professionally mastered, are openly available on 1MM's Spreaker Channel (RADIO1MM).Chapter 4 includes two verses and six narrations on the topic of honesty.Chapter 5 includes four Quranic passages and nine narrations on the topic of muraaqabah, sensing Allah’s watchfulness, or one’s vigilance.Chapter 6 includes five Quranic passages and five narrations on the topic of piety.Chapter 7 includes seven Quranic passages and eleven narrations on the topic of certainty and placing one’s trust in Allah.Chapter 8 includes three Quranic passages and two narrations on the topic of uprightness.Chapter 9 includes four Quranic passages and a single reference to a previously studied narration on the topic of contemplating over Allah’s creation.Chapter 10 includes two verses and eight narrations on the topic of hastening into good deeds.One of the most interesting aspects of this leg of our journey with the explanation of the great scholar, Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih al-‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have Mercy on him), is his lengthy, detailed explanation of the Hadeeth of Jibreel (Hadeeth 60, the first hadeeth of Chapter 5). I considered removing this study, due to its length, or making it into a separate workbook. I consulted my brothers. I even attempted to summarize it, trying to make it match the length of the other Hadeeth studies. Yet, due to its many benefits and tremendous admonitions, covering a wide variety of topics, my soul refused except to leave it, as is. You will notice that our study of that hadeeth is set to cover a total of 309 benefits, as found on pages 40-63 of this workbook. This is expected to take the better part of an entire year, in shaa’ Allah. May Allah aid us and grant us ease and success.I should also mention that there were four narrations (75, 77, 78, and 84) that were left without explanations in the published edition of Shaykh ‘Uthaymeen’s commentary on Riyaadh as-Saaliheen. For three of these narrations, I gathered some beneficial words of the shaykh from his other works, as will be explained at those classes, in shaa’ Allah. As for Hadeeth #84, I could find no explanation from the shaykh in any of his works, so I sufficed with Shaykh Ibn Baaz’s explanation (may Allah have Mercy on him), with some additional points from myself. With the exception of these four narrations, the explanations in class are read directly, word-for-word, from the printed commentary on Riyaadh as-Saaliheen by Shaykh Ibn ‘Uthaymeen (may Allah have Mercy on him).This workbook includes a number of unique resources to help you study these seven chapters and their 41 narrations:Arabic texts of the verses and narrations, along with their English meaningsGuided prompts for note taking at lessons or as you listen to recorded classesThe complete, uninterrupted English translation of the text (pp.159-169)A connected isnaad, or chain of transmission for the text (p.171)The complete, uninterrupted voweled Arabic text (pp.173-186)The complete, uninterrupted unvoweled Arabic text (pp.187-196)An authentic Arabic manuscript of the text (pp.198-210)A quick (Arabic) index of all 41 narrations (pp.211-212) Read more
