وَاللَّيْلِ إِذَا يَغْشَىٰ ( 1 )

By the night when it covers

وَالنَّهَارِ إِذَا تَجَلَّىٰ ( 2 )

And [by] the day when it appears

وَمَا خَلَقَ الذَّكَرَ وَالْأُنثَىٰ ( 3 )

And [by] He who created the male and female,

إِنَّ سَعْيَكُمْ لَشَتَّىٰ ( 4 )

Indeed, your efforts are diverse.

فَأَمَّا مَنْ أَعْطَىٰ وَاتَّقَىٰ ( 5 )

As for he who gives and fears Allah

وَصَدَّقَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 6 )

And believes in the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْيُسْرَىٰ ( 7 )

We will ease him toward ease.

وَأَمَّا مَن بَخِلَ وَاسْتَغْنَىٰ ( 8 )

But as for he who withholds and considers himself free of need

وَكَذَّبَ بِالْحُسْنَىٰ ( 9 )

And denies the best [reward],

فَسَنُيَسِّرُهُ لِلْعُسْرَىٰ ( 10 )

We will ease him toward difficulty.

وَمَا يُغْنِي عَنْهُ مَالُهُ إِذَا تَرَدَّىٰ ( 11 )

And what will his wealth avail him when he falls?

إِنَّ عَلَيْنَا لَلْهُدَىٰ ( 12 )

Indeed, [incumbent] upon Us is guidance.

وَإِنَّ لَنَا لَلْآخِرَةَ وَالْأُولَىٰ ( 13 )

And indeed, to Us belongs the Hereafter and the first [life].

فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَارًا تَلَظَّىٰ ( 14 )

So I have warned you of a Fire which is blazing.

لَا يَصْلَاهَا إِلَّا الْأَشْقَى ( 15 )

None will [enter to] burn therein except the most wretched one.

الَّذِي كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّىٰ ( 16 )

Who had denied and turned away.

وَسَيُجَنَّبُهَا الْأَتْقَى ( 17 )

But the righteous one will avoid it -

الَّذِي يُؤْتِي مَالَهُ يَتَزَكَّىٰ ( 18 )

[He] who gives [from] his wealth to purify himself

وَمَا لِأَحَدٍ عِندَهُ مِن نِّعْمَةٍ تُجْزَىٰ ( 19 )

And not [giving] for anyone who has [done him] a favor to be rewarded

إِلَّا ابْتِغَاءَ وَجْهِ رَبِّهِ الْأَعْلَىٰ ( 20 )

But only seeking the countenance of his Lord, Most High.

وَلَسَوْفَ يَرْضَىٰ ( 21 )

And he is going to be satisfied.

The Difference between Advising and CondemningIn this classical treatise, Ibn Rajab (may Allah have mercy on him) discusses the differences between advising and condemning, which is an extremely important topic since it is very common that the two are confused for one another. For the most part, his talk revolves around the dealings and affairs of the scholars, and how it was from their way to advise and accept the truth from one another. And he shows how condemning was not from their characteristics, but rather from the signs of the evil and wicked people who held hidden goals and objectives.This book is especially important in these days due to the wide scale confusion that exists on this subject amongst the Muslims. So today when we find scholars of the Sunnah refuting weak opinions of other scholars from the past, they are quickly accused of hating those scholars of the past and just condemning them, when in fact they are really advising the ummah and warning the Muslims against following a man in his error. So, we hope that these matters become clear to the reader upon studying this treatise and that he is able to distinguish those who are truly advising from those who are just condemning.
