1. Repentance Taught by Br Wajdi Akkari
Commentary of Shaikh Ibn Uthaymeen
Lesson 4

2. Notes
There are Shuroot (conditions for Taubah) which have to be met for it to be accepted:
Sincerity
Regret
Leaving the sin
Having the determination to never return to it again
If it includes the rights of people their rights should be given

3. Hadith
It has been related by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: By Allah - Verily I appeal for forgiveness from Allah and seek repentance towards Him on more than seventy occasions in one day.
[Al-Bukhari]
Allah has forgiven all his errs in judgement (choosing a lesser option and not actual errors)
Yet He (ﷺ) still asks for Allah’s forgiveness
We are in more need of His forgiveness

4. Hadith
It has been related by al-Agarree ibn Vassar al-Muzanee (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: O People, Seek repentance towards Allah and appeal for His forgiveness. For verily I seek penitence one hundred times in a day.
[Al-Muslim]

5. Hadith
It has been related by Abu Hamzah Anas bin Maalik al-Ansaaree (may Allah be pleased with him), the servant of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His slave, than one of you who finds his camel after having previously lost [the animal] in a barren, desert land.
[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]
In the narration of Muslim: “Allah is more delighted with the repentance of His slave when he seeks penitence towards Him, than one of you who was upon his riding camel in a barren, desert land. Thereafter [the camel] escaped from [it's owner], carrying his food and water [upon it's back]. He therefore abandoned all hope of [finding the animal]. He approached a tree and lay down beneath it's shade, for verily he has despaired of finding his camel. [However], whilst he was in that state, the animal appeared, standing before him. He grasped it's reins and declared as a result of extreme happiness: 0 Allah - You are my slave and I am your Lord.”
The Prophet ﷺ said he erred by virtue of his extreme delight.

6. Commentary
We affirm the quality of joy of Allah – however it is different to our happiness
Joy that befits Allah’s majesty – unlike that of his creation
Siffat (attributes) are not like that of the creation
Even though we may share the title of the quality, the essence of Allah's quality is different
Example - Allah made humans able to see and hear
Yet he says: There is no matter comparable to Him, He is the All-Hearer, the All-Seer.
[Surah al-Shoora : Ayah 11]
Evidence a person may make a statement of Kuffar by err without thinking – he is not held accountable for that as long as he did not intend it

7. Hadith
It has been related by Abu Moosa 'Abdullah ibn Qays al-'Asha'ree (may Allah be pleased with him), from the Prophet (ﷺ)' who said: Indeed Allah the Most High extends His Hand by night in order to accept the penitence of the one who transgresses during the day. In addition, He extends His Hand by day in order to accept the penitence of the one who transgresses during the night. [He shall continue to do so] until the sun rises from the West.
[Al-Muslim]
Allah will accept repentance
Affirming quality of two hands – Yadah [Maidah, 05:64]
We do not know how or have any image of it
Never seen anything like it
Affirm it in this fashion

8. Hadith
It has been related by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him), who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Allah shall accept the penitence from the one who seeks it before the sun rises from the West.
[Muslim]

9. Hadith
It has been related by Abu'AbdurRahman: 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar ibn al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with them both), from the Prophet (ﷺ), who said: Indeed Allah the Exalted, the Majestic, shall accept the penitence of the slave [up to the point] that his soul does not reach the throat.
[At-Tirmidhi]

10. Hadith
It has been related by Zirr ibn Hubaysh, who said: I came to Safwaan ibn 'Assaal (may Allah be pleased with him) in order to question him concerning [the action of] wiping over al-Khuffain (the plural of al-Khuff; It is worn upon the feet of an individual, for instance: The sandal, or the shoe) [Hereafter the term 'Khuff' is referred to as a Sandal](leather sock – applicable to normal sock irrelevant to thickness – nothing from sunnah that stipulates sahabah were not rich and may have had holes). He said: For what reason have you come 0 Zirr? I responded: In pursuit of knowledge. He said: Indeed the angels spread their wings for the one who quests for knowledge, pleased with what he is seeking. I said: [The action of] wiping over the sandals after a discharge of urine or faeces has caused me confusion. You were an individual from amongst the Companions of the Prophet (ﷺ), hence I have approached you in order to question you [concerning this matter]. Did you hear him mention this issue? He responded: Yes, if we were on a journey - or travellers - he would command us to [the effect that] we need not remove our sandals for a [period] of three days and nights [in order to perform ablution], except [in a state] of major ritual impurity. However, [it is not necessary to remove the sandals] [by reason of] a discharge of faeces, urine or sleep.

11. Hadith cont.
I then questioned him: Did you hear him make reference to love and Affection? He responded: Yes, we were with the Messenger of Allah on a journey when a bedouin Arab called out to him in a loud voice: 0 Muhammad. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ responded in a similar fashion [and said]: Come here I said to the bedouin: Woe be to you - soften your tone, for you are in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and you have been forbidden to [address him in this manner]. He said: By Allah - I will not soften my tone, then [addressing the Prophet ﷺ said: What [do you say concerning] the individual who loves a [group] of people but is not comparable to them? The Prophet ﷺ responded: An individual shall be in the company of those whom he loves on the Day of Judgment. He continued to converse with us until he made reference to a doorway situated in the West, whose width could be traversed by a rider in [a period of] forty or seventy years. Sufyaan - one of the narrators - mentioned: [This doorway] is situated towards the direction of Shaam. Allah created it on the day He created the Heavens and the earth. It shall remain open [for those questing] for penitence until the sun rises from it.
