Volume One
Ibn al-Qayyim · Madārij al-Sālikīn
  1. "Thus, repentance is surrounded by accountability on both sides. This concept is supported by the words of اللّٰه in سُورَة الحَشْر: "O you who believe, fear اللّٰه and let every soul consider what it has sent forth for tomorrow." اللّٰه commands the servant to reflect on what they have prepared for the future, implying the need to hold oneself accountable and examine whether what they have sent forth is suitable to meet اللّٰه."

  2. "Reflecting on past misdeeds reveals the peril they present, as one stands on the brink of destruction if held accountable. اللّٰه has warned in His Book about those who forget their deeds, saying, "And who is more unjust than he who is reminded of the signs of his Lord, but turns away from them and forgets what his hands have sent forth?" from سُورَة الكَهْف."

Abu Bakr al-Siddiq
Ibn Kathir · Timeless Classics
  1. "Around Tulayha al-Asadi gathered the Banu Asad and Tayyi and many people besides, and he too claimed prophethood as Musaylima the Liar had claimed it. The calamity grew great and the situation grew severe, and the Trusted One, Abu Bakr, sent forth the army of Usama, so that the fighting men with him became few, and many of the Bedouin coveted Medina and sought to fall upon it."

Book 2: The Book of Belief
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
  1. "This is why He sent forth the prophets, peace be upon them, to invite people to the oneness of God, to say, "There is no deity but Allah. They were not commanded to say, "For us is a deity and for the world is a deity," because such concepts were embedded in the natural intellect from the beginning of their existence."

Futūḥ al-Ghayb — Revelations of the Unseen
Shaykh Abd al-Qadir al-Jilani · Timeless Classics
  1. "whether in poverty or in wealth, in affliction or in well-being. It is recommended for a person to supplicate with this prayer: O Allah, forgive me all that I have sent forth, protect me in what remains for me, and grant me righteous deeds with which You are pleased with me, O Possessor of great bounty."

  1. "and God, blessed and exalted, will say, This is for what your hands have sent forth, and I am not unjust to my servants. He will then order them to be returned to the fire. One of them will run in his chains until he throws himself into it, while the other will hesitate."

  2. "day about which there is no doubt, the day when secrets are exposed, and the day when no soul can avail another soul in the least. It is the day when eyes will stare in terror. The hadith that caused my hair to turn gray is, Hood in the event, and those sent forth"

  3. "peace be upon him, said, If your companion dies, leave him alone, and do not harm him. He also advised, Do not curse the dead, for they have moved on to what they have sent forth. Furthermore, he said, Do not mention your dead except with good,"

Al-Kabā'ir — The Major Sins
Imam al-Dhahabī · Timeless Classics
  1. "sent forth and have blamed themselves. By Allah, if mankind knew the purpose for which they were created, they would not have slept or rested. They were created for a matter that if their hearts could see it, they would be lost and bewildered. Death, then the grave,"

Book 4: The Book of Prayer
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya’ ‘Ulum al-Din
  1. "In Dhuhr, he recited from the lengthy Mufassal up to thirty verses, in Asr half of that, and in Maghrib from the end of the Mufassal. The last prayer the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed was Maghrib, in which he recited Surah al-Mursalat."

  2. "The hadith about reciting in Maghrib with al-Mursalat as the last prayer is agreed upon from Umm al-Fadl. The hadith, "If one of you leads the people in prayer, let him lighten it," is agreed upon from Abu Hurairah."

  1. "Let your joy be for what you have sent forth and your grief for what you have left behind. Make your concern for your Hereafter and your worry for what comes after death. Our purpose in conveying these words is his saying, "From success is to pause at uncertainty."

  2. "We'll first mention the virtue of accountability, followed by its essence. Regarding the virtue, Allah the Almighty said: "O you who have believed, fear Allah and let every soul see what it has sent forth for tomorrow."

Book 20: The Book of the Prophetic Character
Imam al-Ghazali · Ihya' 'Ulum al-Din
  1. "The hadith of him spitting in the eye of Ali, who was afflicted with ophthalmia at the Battle of Khaybar, to which he was healed instantly and was sent forth with the banner, is agreed upon from the hadith of Ali and also from the hadith of Sahl ibn Sa'd."

  1. "Asaya raised Moses and treated him well, believing in him when he was sent forth. Maryam nurtured her son with the utmost care and believed in him when he was sent. Khadijah desired to marry the Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, devoted her wealth"

  2. "This interpretation was provided by Ibn Abbas, Mujahid, and others. I was caught in the remembrance, persistent, for a matter that has long been sent forth, and a description from Khadijah after description, for my waiting has been long, O Khadijah,"

  3. "sent to all whom the valleys encompass. And I believe that he will be sent forth truthfully, just as the servants Hud and Salih were sent, and Musa and Ibrahim until he sees for himself a radiance and a clear proclamation"

Volume Three
Ibn al-Qayyim · Madārij al-Sālikīn
  1. "He said, "Because of what you used to do—because of what you used to earn—that is because of what your hands have sent forth, and indeed, اللّٰه is not unjust to the servants." القُرْآن is filled with the arrangement of cosmic and legal rulings,"

Volume Two
Ibn al-Qayyim · Madārij al-Sālikīn
  1. "Those who see it as deeds and the Prophet, peace be upon him, do so because they have sent them forth and have sent forth faith in him before them. Thus, all three are considered a "foot of truth." As for the "seat of truth," it is Paradise"

  2. "hands? If اللّٰه wills, He restrains him and makes him sit with those who remain seated. As it is said regarding those whom He did not grant success: "But اللّٰه disliked their being sent forth, so He made them lag behind, and it was said,"

  3. "they would have prepared for it, but اللّٰه disliked their being sent forth, so He held them back, and it was said, 'Sit among those who sit.' If they had gone forth with you, they would have added nothing to you except confusion,"

Volume 1 — From Creation to Mūsā
Ibn Kathir · Al-Bidāya wal-Nihāya
  1. "remember? And Allah said, Thamud denied the truth in their transgression when their most wicked one was sent forth. So the messenger of Allah, Salih, said to them, This is Allah's she-camel, so give her drink. But they denied him, and they"

  1. "Abu Bakr said, O Messenger of Allah, you have gray hair. He replied, Hud, al-Waqia, al-Mursalat, and Amayat as-Sa'alun, and when the sun is folded up have made me gray. O Messenger of Allah, we see that you have gray hair."

  1. "Isa asked, Who is this? Abdullah replied, I am Abdullah. Isa looked down and said, Be my father, for the child I was telling you about has been born on Monday. He will be sent forth on Monday and will die on Monday."
