Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S29) Muazh رضي الله عنه advised his friend: You are guaranteed your Rizq, but not guaranteed success in the next life.

You will not receive anything except that which is in your Rizq....

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S28) The last conversation that Muazh رضي الله عنه had with The Messenger ﷺ, he asked: “what deed is most beloved to Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وتَعَالَى?”. The Messenger ﷺ replied: “At the end of your, life to make your tongue moist with Zhikr”. Muazh رضي الله عنه loved circles of knowledge. He would say: “Sit with us for an hour, so we may increase our belief”. This was a co...

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S27) Jaabir رضي الله عنه: “Muazh (رضي الله عنه) was the handsomest of people, physically, physique wise and in character. He was very generous. He never said no.

Muazh رضي الله عنه said that Zhikr is greater th...

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S26) A few questions one may ask: If you’ve prayed Salah at home and there is a Jamaat, can you repeat the prayer? The Shaafis (r.h) say yes, all prayers can be repeated. The Hanbalis and Malikis (r.h) say all can be repeated, except Maghrib. The Hanafis (r.h) say only Isha and Zuhr can be repeated. (The intention when repeating is for Nafl, not fardh). Hanafis, Hanba...

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S24) Other Companions (رضي الله عنهم) also had run ins with the shayateen, including; Abu Hurayrah, Abu Ayub and Ubayy Ibn Ka’ab رضي الله عنهم.

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S21) The masses had received the Quran. Abdullah Ibn Abaas رضي الله عنهم said he didn’t like this, for: “They will recite it, and learn without guidance.

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S16) Muazh رضي الله عنه asked The Messenger ﷺ “Where does mischief lie?”, The Messenger ﷺ replied: “Don’t ask of mischief, ask about good - to answer your question, the greatest mischief is from wicked scholars”.

Muazh Ibn Jabal رضي الله عنه (S14) The Messenger ﷺ: “O Muazh [رضي الله عنه].
