Back to Chapter: 7 Previous Next

It was reported that `Ata' Al-Khurasani narrated from Ibn `Abbas, who said about Allah's statement,

[إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ]

(He likes not the aggressors) "In the Du`a' and otherwise.'' Abu Mijlaz commented on,

[إِنَّهُ لاَ يُحِبُّ الْمُعْتَدِينَ]

(He likes not the aggressors), "Such (aggression) as asking to reach the grade of the Prophets.'' Imam Ahmad narrated that Abu Ni`amah said that `Abdullah bin Mughaffal heard his son supplicating, "O Allah! I ask you for the white castle on the right side of Paradise, if I enter it.'' So `Abdullah said, "O my son! Ask Allah for Paradise and seek refuge with Him from the Fire, for I heard the Messenger of Allah saying,

«يَكُونُ قَوْمٌ يَعْتَدُونَ فِي الدُّعَاءِ وَالطَّهُور»

(There will come some people who transgress in supplication and purification)'' Ibn Majah and Abu Dawud recorded this Hadith with a good chain that there is no harm in, and Allah knows best.
