So yesterday we discussed one among the three types of patience. Today we’ll see the second type.
صبر على المعصية
Patience from Disobedience.
_
Allaah ﷻ exemplifies this Sabr in Yusuf عليه السلام and shows us what true Taqwa is.
When Zuleikha approached him,
وَقَالَتْ هَيْتَ لَكَ
and said: “Come on, O you.”
[12:23]
But he categorically refused her call,
_
قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ رَبِّىٓ أَحْسَنَ مَثْوَاىَ
He said, “[I seek] the refuge of Allah . Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence.
[12:23]
as they used to call the chief and master a Rabb', Yusuf عليه السلام said to her,your husband is my master who provided me with comfortable living and was kind to me, so I will never betray him’ by committing immoral sins with his wife,’
_
And as we know from the Hadith of Prophet ﷺ, anyone from his Ummah who resists the call of a woman of status and beauty will be under the shade of the Arsh of Allaah ﷻ.
[Bukhari and Muslim]
_
Sabr from disobedience is difficult and is a test for the believers.
_
Abu Huraira رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “When Allah created Paradise and Hellfire, He sent Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ to Paradise saying: Behold it and what I have prepared therein for its people. Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ came and looked at it and what Allah had prepared therein for its people. He returned to Allah and he said: By Your might, no one will hear of it but that he will enter it.
Allah ordered that it be surrounded by adversity and he said: Return to it and behold what I have prepared therein for its people. Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ returned and found that it was surrounded by hardship. He returned to Allah and he said: By Your might, I fear that no one will enter it.
Allah said: Go to the Hellfire and behold it and what I have prepared therein for its people. Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ found that it was in layers, one above another. He returned to Allah and he said: By Your might, no one who hears of it will enter it.
Allah ordered that it be surrounded by desires and he said: Return to it. Jibreel عَلَيْهِ ٱلسَّلَامُ returned and he said: By Your might, I fear that no one will escape it.”
[Sunan al-Tirmidhī 2560, Grade: Sahih ]
_
Jahannam is surrounded by desirable things!
_
And to Abstain from these things for the sake of Allaah ﷻ is what is صبر على المعصية.
_
And as Allaah ﷻ says
وَأَمَّا مَنْ خَافَ مَقَامَ رَبِّهِ وَنَهَى النَّفْسَ عَنِ الْهَوَى ▪️ فَإِنَّ الْجَنَّةَ هِيَ الْمَأْوَى
And as for him who fears to stand in front of his Rabb and forbids his lower desires, Jannah is his abode.
[79:40-41]
_
Jannah!
We shall continue with the third type of patience tomorrow.
إن شاء الله
_
May Allaah Grant us ease.
آمين يا رب العالمين
