2a] He prays and fasts and prays qiyaam, but he mistreats his wife and neighbours

2a]
Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him) included a chapter in
Madaarij al-Saalikeen (2/307) which he entitled The religion is all
morals;whoever has better morals than you is more committed to the
religion than you.
But it is sufficient for us to ponder how good morals are among the
basic aims behind the prescription of the pillars of Islam. This is
indicative of the sublime status of this aim, and the importance of
adhering to it,and making it a priority for every Muslim who believes
in the Oneness of Allaah (Tawheed).
What you have to do is to remind that person who is mistreating his
wife and neighbours to fear Allaah, and tell him that Allaah does not
approve of these actions of his, rather He is angered by his annoying
his neighbour, wife and relatives. Where are the effects of qiyaam and
prayer onhis heart, attitude and actions?
But they should be kind towardshim when advising him, because his
keenness for worship is a sign of goodness, in sha Allaah. Imam Ahmad
narrated in al-Musnad that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleasedwith
him) said: A man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him)and said: So and so prays at night, but in the morning he
steals. He said: He will what you mention concerning him will make him
give up.
Al-Bayhaqi said in Majma' al-Zawaa'id (2/261): The men of its isnaad
are thiqaat (trustworthy). Shu'ayb al-Arna'oot and 'Aadil Murshid said
in Tahqeeq al-Musnad (15/483): its isnaad is saheeh and its men are
thiqaat, the menof the two Shaykhs (al-Bukhaari and Muslim).
And Allaah knows best./ - - - :-> Transtors:
