Qāʿidah fī al-Bāqiyāt al-ṢāliḥātIbn Taimiya

A Point of Benefit

Nasr ibn ʿAli said, “My father told me: ‘I saw al-Khalil ibn Ahmad (1) in a dream, and he said, “Have you seen what we used to busy ourselves with—meaning grammar and language? Your Lord, exalted is He, does not regard it in the least. I have found nothing more beneficial than: subḥān Allah (Glory be to Allah), al-ḥamdu li-llāh (praise belongs to Allah), lā ilāha illā Allah (there is no god but Allah), and Allahu akbar (Allah is Most Great).”’ (2)

فائدة قال نصر بن علي حدثني أبي قال: رأيتُ الخليل بن أحمد (١) في النوم فقال: "ما رأيت ما كنا فيه؟ يعني من النحو واللغة؛ فإن ربك ﷿ لا يعبأ به شيئًا، ما رأيت أنفع من: سبحان الله، والحمد لله، ولا إله إلا الله، والله أكبر" (٢) .
