In this 6 minute clip, Shaykh Musa discusses the words the companions lived by and the true freedom they grant to the one who holds on to them. Listen now:
عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الصِّدِّيقِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: قَامَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ، ثُمَّ بَكَى، فَقَالَ
سَلُوا اللَّهَ الْعَفْوَ وَالْعَافِيَةَ، فَإِنَّ أَحَدًا لَمْ يُعْطَ بَعْدَ الْيَقِينِ خَيْرًا مِنَ الْعَافِيَةِ
Abū Bakr al-Ṣiddīq رضي الله عنه narrated:
“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ stood upon the pulpit and then wept. He said:
‘Ask Allah for pardon and well-being, for no one has been granted anything better, after certainty of faith, than well-being.’”
