On
the authority of Abu Dharr and Mu’aadh bin Jabal, may Allaah be pleased with
them both, narrated that the Prophet, may peace and blessings be upon him,
stated: “Observe taqwah of Allaah wherever you may be…” [At-Tirmidhi]
[It
comes in the book "Al-Jaami' fee Sharhil Arba'een An-Nawawiyyah" a
mention of the benefits of Taqwah and here is one of them.]
’Preservation of One’s Offspring after his Death’
Allaah,
the Most High, says:
“And let
those (executors and guardians) have the same fear in their minds as they would
have for their own children, if they had left weak offspring behind. So let
them fear Allah and speak right words.”
[4:9]
Thus,
whoever desires that his family be preserved after he is gone let him fear
Allaah (during his life) so that Allaah will preserve them after him and cover
them with His attention and mercy.
As
Allaah mentions:
“And as for
the wall, it belonged to two orphan boys in the town; and there was under it a
treasure belonging to them; and their father was a righteous man, and
your Lord intended that they should attain their age of full strength and take
out their treasure as a mercy from your Lord.”
[18:82]
Muhammad
bin Al-Munkadir, may Allaah have mercy upon him, stated:
“Indeed
Allaah will preserve a man’s children, the children of his children, his
village/town that he is in and the dwelling places around it, i.e. his
village/town, all because of his righteousness. Therefore they will continue to
be in the preservation and protection of Allaah.”
Sa’eed
bin Al-Musayyib, may Allaah have mercy upon him, said to his son:
“Oh
dear son, verily I increase in my prayers for you hoping that Allaah will
preserve you by this action of mine. And he recited the verse,
“And their
father was a righteous man.”
[18:82]
