القلب السليم

:قال الإمام ابن رجب الحنبلي رحمه الله

فالقلب سليم: هو الذي ليس فيه شيء من محبة ما يكرهه الله، فدخل في ذلك سلامته من الشرك الجلي والخفي، ومن الأهواء والبدع، ومن الفسوق والمعاصي - كبائرها وصغائرها - الظاهرة والباطنة، كالرياء، والعجب، والغل، والغش، والحقد، والحسد وغير ذلك. وهذا القلب السليم هو الذي لا ينفع يوم القيامة سواه

[مجموع رسائل الحافظ ابن رجب الحنبلي (٣٥٥/١)]

Al-Imām Ibn Rajab Al-Ḥanbaliyy, may Allāh have mercy upon him:

“The heart which is sound: it is the one in which there is no love in it for that which Allāh hates, included in this is the heart being free from manifest and hidden shirk (polytheism), [evil] desires, innovations, immorality, sins - major and minor - apparent and hidden, such as showing off, vanity, hatred, deception, malice, envy, etc. and this sound heart, nothing will be of benefit on the Day of Resurrection except it.”

[Majmū’ Rasāil Al-Ḥāfiz Ibn Rajab Al-Ḥanbaliyy (1/355)]

Ibn Rajab (Rahimahullah) reported: Some of the righteous predecessors said,

The one who fears Allah is not one who weeps and his eyes overflow with tears. Verily, the one who fears Allah are only those who leave what they desire of the unlawful when they are able to indulge it (sin). The greatest reward are for those who obey Allah in private.

[Source: Rasa’il Ibn Rajab (Rahimahullah), 1/163]

Imam ibn Rajab (رَحِمَهُ الله):

"Strive to actualise Tawheed; for indeed (you) cannot reach Allah's (pleasure) except by way of it. Be eager to establish the rights of Tawheed, because you cannot be saved from Allah's punishment except through it."

[Kalimah Al-Ikhlas | pg. 54]

[notesfrom-em]

Musa (alayhissalam) used to often say in his Du’a:

اللَّهُمَّ لَيِّنْ قَلْبِي بِالتَّوْبَةِ ، وَلَا تَجْعَلْ قَلْبِي قَاسِيًا كَالْحَجَرِ

Oh Allah, soften my heart with tawbah (repentance), and do not make my heart hard as a rock.

[Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali (rahimahullah) in Jami’ al-Uloom wal Hikam, no. 326 or 20/437]

Imām Ibn Rajab رحمه الله said:

‎انتظار الفرج بالصبر عبادة،

‎فإن البلاء لا يدوم.

Kharashah ibn al-Hurr (رَحِمَهُ الله) narrated:

I saw 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) hitting men's hands while they fasted in Rajab until they put them in food (i.e. ate).

He would say: "Rajab, and what is Rajab? Rajab is just a month which the people of Jaahiliyyah used to venerate and it was abandoned when Islam came."
