On the authority of Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما), the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said to a man while exhorting him: “Seize five things before the occurrence of five: Your youth before you reach old age, your health before you are afflicted with sickness, your free time before you are taxed with busyness, your wealth before you become destitute, and your life before death reaches you.”1

When Should the Iqāmah be Called?

Narrated by al-Ṭabarānī on the authority of Jābir (رضي الله عنه), the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “Every creature seeks forgiveness for the one who teaches the people goodness, even the whales in the seas.”1 It was also narrated on the authority of al-Barāʾ ibn ʿĀzib (رضي الله عنه), that the Prophet (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “The scholars are the inheritors of the prophets. They are loved by the denizens of the heavens. The whales in the sea seek forgiveness for them should they die until the Day of Judgement.”2
Just as forgiveness being sought has also been confirmed on behalf of th…
