‘Uqbah bin ‘Amir (May Allah be pleased with
him) said: I asked the Messenger of Allah (Peace be upon him),
“How can salvation be achieved?” He
replied, “Control your tongue, keep to your house, and weep over your sins.”
[At-Tirmidhi].
Imam an-Nawawi commented on this Hadith: It
is better for one to spend his spare time at home in the remembrance of Allah,
in the recitation of the Qur’an and the performance of acts of obedience, if
one feels unable to benefit others or if one fears that he, as well as his
religion will not be safe if one mixes with others. Allah greatly likes it that
one repents of his own sins and weeps over them.
