Ash-Shaikh Rabee’ bin Haadee Al-Madkhalee (hafidhahullaah)

Question: This questioner is from Britain and he says, “There is an Imaam in one of the masjids who announced after the Salaah (prayer) that whoever contradicts him in the matter of placing the hands on the chest after rising from the Rukoo’ (bowing), then such a person is a cause of dividing the Musalleen (those who are praying). (i.e. Whoever places the hands on the chest is causing division in the Salaah.) So does he have the right to say the likes of these matters. And with what do you advise the one who prays in that masjid and he thinks that the Sunnah is to place the hands (on the chest) after rising from the Rukoo’?”

Ibn Qayyim al Jawziyyah (d.751H) said:

Unnecessary companionship is a chronic disease that causes much harm. How often have the wrong kind of companionship and intermixing deprived people of Allah’s generosity, planting discord in their hearts which even the passage of time-even if it were long enough for mountains to be worn away-has been unable to dispel. In keeping such company one can find the roots of loss, both in this life and in the next life.

Saying Mashallah when you see something that amazes you

عن أنس بن مالك ، رضي الله عنه أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال : « من رأى شيئا فأعجبه ، فقال : ما شاء الله ، لا قوة إلا بالله ، لم يضره العين » . يعني : لا يصيبه العين
