Morning Routine (Ahadith 955 - 961)

bukhari
Published on July 31, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

What do you know about the morning routine of the Prophet (SAW)?

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 256:
Narrated 'Aisha;
Allah's Apostle offered the 'Isha' prayer (and then got up at the Tahajjud time) and offered eight Rakat and then offered two Rakat while sitting. He then offered two Rakat in between the Adhan and Iqama (of the Fajr prayer) and he never missed them.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 257:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet used to lie down on his right side, after offering two Rakat (Sunna) of the Fajr prayer.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 258:
Narrated 'Aisha:
After offering the Sunna of the Fajr prayer, the Prophet used to talk to me, if I happen to be awake; otherwise he would lie down till the Iqama call was proclaimed (for the Fajr prayer).

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 259:
Narrated 'Aisha:
After offering the two Rakat (Sunna) the Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to talk to me, if I happen to be awake; otherwise he would lie down.


Volume 2, Book 21, Number 260:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet was never more regular and particular in offering any Nawafil than the two Rakat (Sunna) of the Fajr prayer.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 261:
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle used to offer thirteen Rakat in the night prayer and on hearing the Adhan for the morning prayer, he used to offer two light Rakat.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 262:
Narrated 'Aisha:
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to make the two Rakat before the Fajr prayer so light that I would wonder whether he recited Al-Fatiha (or not).
  1. He would never miss the two rak`aat (Sunnah) before Fajr prayer.
  2. He would make them very light. (Surah al-Kafiroon in first rak`ah and Surah al-Ikhlaas in the second).
  3. He would chit chat with his wife (Aisha) if she was awake, otherwise he'd lie down to wait for iqamah.
This is up till the Fajr prayer. Who knows what he (SAW) used to do after that? #acceptchallengeandanswer ;)

Wassalam.

Dreams (Hadith No. 954)

bukhari
Published on July 30, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 255:
Narrated Nafi:
Ibn 'Umar said, "In the life-time of the Prophet I dreamt that a piece of silk cloth was in my hand and it flew with me to whichever part of Paradise I wanted. I also saw as if two persons (i.e. angels) came to me and wanted to take me to Hell. Then an angel met us and told me not to be afraid. He then told them to leave me. Hafsa narrated one of my dreams to the Prophet and the Prophet said, "Abdullah is a good man. Would that he offer the night prayer (Tahajjud)!" So after that day 'Abdullah (bin 'Umar) started offering Tahajjud. The companions of the Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to tell him their dreams that (Laila-tul-Qadr) was on the 27th of the month of Ramadan. The Prophet said, "I see that your dreams agree on the last ten nights of Ramadan and so whoever is in search of it should seek it in the last ten nights of Ramadan."

Dreams do have a certain significance in Islam. Have a look at the concept in detail:
Note that the things people see in their sleep may come under one of two categories: 
  1. Dreams/visions 
  2. Confused dreams 
Confused dreams in turn are divided into two categories: 
  1. The Shaytaan’s attempts to frighten 
  2. The workings of the subconscious. 
So it may be said that what people see in their dreams may be divided into three categories: 
  1. Visions or dreams that come from Allaah.
  2. Attempts by the Shaytaan to frighten us
  3. The workings of the subconscious. 
These categories are indicated by the hadeeth narrated in Saheeh Muslim (no. 2263) from Abu Hurayrah, which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the time (of the Day of Resurrection) draws near, a believer's dream will hardly be false. And the truest vision will be of one who is himself the most truthful in speech, for the vision of a Muslim is the forty-fifth part of Prophecy, and dreams are of three types:
  1. the good dream which is glad tidings from Allah;
  2. the bad dream which causes distress, which is from the Shaytaan;
  3. and the dream which represents what a person is thinking about.
So if any one of you sees a dream which he does not like he should get up and pray, and not tell people about his dream…”
It was narrated from ‘Awf ibn Maalik that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: some are terrifying things from the Shaytaan, aimed at causing grief to the son of Adam; some are things that a person is concerned with when he is awake, so he sees them in his dreams; and some are a part of the forty-six parts of Prophecy.”
(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3155) 
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of three types: glad tidings from Allaah, what is on a person’s mind, and frightening dreams from the Shaytaan. If any of you sees a dream that he likes, let him tell others of it if he wishes, but if he sees something that he dislikes, he should not tell anyone about it, and he should get up and pray.”
(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3154) 
There follow a number of saheeh ahaadeeth which describe how to deal with what one sees in one’s dream. 
  1. It was narrated that Abu Qutaadah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan. If anyone sees a bad dream that scares him, let him spit drily to his left and seek refuge with Allaah from its evil, then it will not harm him.”
    (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3292) 
  2. It was narrated that Abu Salamah said: I used to see such terrible dreams that that I began to shake and have a fever, but did not cover myself with a cloak until I met Abu Qutaadah, and I mentioned that to him. He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say,  ‘Good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan. If anyone sees a bad dream that he dislikes, let him spit drily to his left three times and seek refuge with Allaah from its evil, then it will not harm him.’”
    (Narrated by Muslim, 2261) 
  3. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him turn over, and spit drily to his left three times and ask Allaah of His goodness, and seek refuge with Him from its evil.”
    (Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah). 
  4. It was narrated from Jaabir that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him spit drily to his left three times and seek refuge with Allaah from the Shaytaan three times, and turn over onto his other side.”
    (Narrated by Muslim, 2262). 
  5. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) told us the difference between good dreams and bad dreams. It was narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri that he heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “If any one of you sees a dream that he likes, it is from Allaah, so let him praise Allaah for it and tell people about it. But if he sees something other than that, that he dislikes, it is from the Shaytaan, so let him seek refuge with Allaah from its evil and not mention it to anyone, for it will not harm him.”
    (Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7045).

    So it is clear that good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams which a person dislikes come from the Shaytaan, so he has to seek refuge with Allaah from their evil.
  6. It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of you sees something that he dislikes, let him get up and pray, and not tell people about it.
    (Narrated by Muslim, 2263). 
  7. It was narrated from Jaabir that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said, “I dreamt that my head was cut off and I was chasing it.” The Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) rebuked him and said: “Do not tell anyone how the Shaytaan is messing about with you in your dreams.”
    (Narrated by Muslim, 2268) 
So we may sum up from these ahaadeeth the most important points about what a person should do if he sees a dream that he dislikes, as follows: 
  1. He should know that this dream is from the Shaytaan who wants to cause him grief, so he should annoy the Shaytaan by not paying any attention to him.
  2. He should seek refuge with Allaah from the accursed Shaytaan.
  3. He should seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of this dream.
  4. He should spit drily to his left three times, i.e., blowing with a little bit of saliva.
  5. He should not tell anyone about it.
  6. He should turn over from the side on which he was sleeping, so if he was lying on his left side he should turn over to his right side, and vice versa.
  7. He should get up and pray. 
If a person adheres to this etiquette, then we hope that this bad dream will not harm him, as it says in the texts. And Allaah knows best.

Poetry in Islam (Hadith No. 953)

bukhari
Published on July 29, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 254:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
That once Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Your brother, i.e. 'Abdullah bin Rawaha does not say obscene (referring to his verses): Amongst us is Allah's Apostle, who recites His Book when it dawns. He showed us the guidance, after we were blind. We believe that whatever he says will come true. And he spends his nights in such a way as his sides do not touch his bed. While the pagans were deeply asleep."

The text in maroon/brown is from a poem by Abdullah ibn Rawaha, which he wrote about the Prophet (SAW). The original verses in Arabic:

وَفِينَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ يَتْلُو كِتَابَهُ إِذَا انْشَقَّ مَعْرُوفٌ مِنَ الْفَجْرِ سَاطِعُ أَرَانَا الْهُدَى بَعْدَ الْعَمَى فَقُلُوبُنَا بِهِ مُوقِنَاتٌ أَنَّ مَا قَالَ وَاقِعُ يَبِيتُ يُجَافِي جَنْبَهُ عَنْ فِرَاشِهِ إِذَا اسْتَثْقَلَتْ بِالْمُشْرِكِينَ الْمَضَاجِعُ 

They're beautiful, no? Describing the Prophet (SAW) so perfectly. It also shows us the sort of observations Companions used to make, the things they would notice about him. Like:
And he spends his nights in such a way as his sides do not touch his bed,
While the pagans were deeply asleep.
Reminds me of the verses from Surah al-Furqan about the Slaves of the Compassionate (`Ibaad-ur-Rahman). From them:

وَالَّذِينَ يَبِيتُونَ لِرَبِّهِمْ سُجَّدًا وَقِيَامًا

And those who spend the night in worship of their Lord, prostrate and standing. [Al-Furqan: 64]
And:

تَتَجَافَىٰ جُنُوبُهُمْ عَنِ الْمَضَاجِعِ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ خَوْفًا وَطَمَعًا 

Their sides forsake their beds, to invoke their Lord in fear and hope.. [As-Sajdah: 16]
Prophet (SAW) approved of this sort of poetry by saying "your brother does not say obscene". Meaning, he's not doing anything wrong, or being immoral by saying these poetic verses.
From Hassan ibn Thabit's poem..

Ruling on Poetry:

The ruling on poetry is the same as the ruling on speech or words, of which it is a part. The well known, general principle is that which is narrated in Mursal ‘Urwah ibn al-Zubayr:
Poetry is like speech: what is good is good, and what is bad is bad.
If the poetry involves words of love to a specific woman who is not permissible for the poet, or encourages sin, then it is haraam poetry. 
But if it includes remembrance of Allah, blessings upon the Messenger of Allah, encouraging good qualities and good conduct, then it is poetry that is mustahabb and recommended. 
If it includes material that is neither makrooh nor mustahabb, rather it includes permissible matters, then it is permissible poetry, and this is the basic, original ruling concerning it, that it is permissible. 
Ibn Qudaamah (may Allah have mercy on him) said: 
There is no difference of opinion concerning the permissibility of poetry. This was stated by the Sahaabah and the scholars. End quote.

Du`a at Night (Hadith No. 952)

bukhari
Published on July 28, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 253:
Narrated 'Ubada bin As-Samit:
The Prophet "Whoever gets up at night and says: -- 'La ilaha il-lallah Wahdahu la Sharika lahu Lahu-l-mulk, waLahu-l-hamd wahuwa 'ala kullishai'in Qadir. Alhamdu lil-lahi wa subhanal-lahi wa la-ilaha il-lal-lah wa-l-lahu akbar wa la hawla Wala Quwata il-la-bil-lah.' (None has the right to be worshipped but Allah. He is the Only One and has no partners . For Him is the Kingdom and all the praises are due for Him. He is Omnipotent. All the praises are for Allah. All the glories are for Allah. And none has the right to be worshipped but Allah, And Allah is Great And there is neither Might nor Power Except with Allah). And then says: -- Allahumma, Ighfir li (O Allah! Forgive me). Or invokes (Allah), he will be responded to and if he performs ablution (and prays), his prayer will be accepted."

If you're getting up for Tahajjud at night, awesome. Say these words, make du`a and earn lots of hasanaat (good deeds). Plus, the bonus of getting your prayers accepted. (y)
If you're not getting up, no problem. There's still a way to earn this bonus. Memorize these words:
La ilaha il-lallah Wahdahu la Sharika lahu Lahu-l-mulk, waLahu-l-hamd wahuwa 'ala kullishai'in Qadir. Alhamdu lil-lahi wa subhanal-lahi wa la-ilaha il-lal-lah wa-l-lahu akbar wa la hawla Wala Quwata il-la-bil-lah. Allahumma, Ighfir li.
If it so happens that your sleep gets disturbed at some point, or you suddenly wake up at night, just recite these words out of your memory, make a small du`a and go back to sleep. Ta da! =D
And if you're really desperate, you can put up an alarm on your phone for this purpose, provided it is easy for you to go back to sleep after getting disturbed. If not, well get up and pray Tahajjud. :P
Wassalam.

Capacity (Ahadith 950 - 951)

ability
Published on July 27, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 251r:
Narrated Anas bin Malik
Once the Prophet (p.b.u.h) entered the Mosque and saw a rope hanging in between its two pillars. He said, "What is this rope?" The people said, "This rope is for Zainab who, when she feels tired, holds it (to keep standing for the prayer.)" The Prophet said, "Don't use it. Remove the rope. You should pray as long as you feel active, and when you get tired, sit down."

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 251n:
Narrated 'Aisha:
A woman from the tribe of Bani Asad was sitting with me and Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) came to my house and said, "Who is this?" I said, "(She is) So and so. She does not sleep at night because she is engaged in prayer." The Prophet said disapprovingly: Do (good) deeds which is within your capacity as Allah never gets tired of giving rewards till you get tired of doing good deeds."

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 252:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Amr bin Al-'As:
Allah's Apostle said to me, "O 'Abdullah! Do not be like so and so who used to pray at night and then stopped the night prayer."

It's simple, really. What we tend to do is overdo stuff and get exhausted quickly. Say I got to know about the Sunnah of praying Tahajjud at night. I got so excited and motivated that I vowed to pray looooong rak`aat the whole night. I did it for one night, gave myself a tap on the back and felt good about it. Next night, again. And again. A few days later, I got so tired and exhausted that I left it completely.
There are several cons to this behavior. One of them is, that it lacks consistency. I did not continue the deed for long. I could not continue it, actually.
Narrated By 'Aisha (RA) : The Prophet (SAW) was asked, "What deeds are loved most by Allah?" He (SAW) said, "The most regular constant deeds even though they may be few." He (SAW) added, 'Don't take upon yourselves, except the deeds which are within your ability."
[Bukhari: Vol 8, Book 76, Number 472]
So take it easy. Hold your horses. :P
Whatever you do, make sure you do it continually. Quantity doesn't matter. Quality does.
Wassalam.

Best Deed (Hadith No. 949)

bilal
Published on July 26, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 250:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
At the time of the Fajr prayer the Prophet asked Bilal, "Tell me of the best deed you did after embracing Islam, for I heard your footsteps in front of me in Paradise." Bilal replied, "I did not do anything worth mentioning except that whenever I performed ablution during the day or night, I prayed after that ablution as much as was written for me."

That was Bilal (RA) and that was his best deed that took him to Paradise. We should try our best to follow this Sunnah of tahiyyat-ul-wudhu as well.

But think about this: what's YOUR best deed? What is it that you do that might take you to Paradise? Something beloved to Allah. Something consistent, whether big or small. Something most people don't do.. Something unique to you.

If you have something, well and good. Keep at it. If not, think of something! Don't you want to be admitted into Paradise as a VIP? Don't you want the angels calling out your name in a category that only you fit in? For example, an angel at one of the doors of Paradise calls out "Bukhari Project: Yumna Arif". :D
Say Ameen to that! ^

Wassalam.

Night Prayer of the Prophet [SAW] (Ahadith 946 - 948)

bukhari
Published on July 25, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 247:
Narrated Al-Aswad:
I asked 'Aisha "How is the night prayer of the Prophet?" She replied, "He used to sleep early at night, and get up in its last part to pray, and then return to his bed. When the Muadh-dhin pronounced the Adhan, he would get up. If he was in need of a bath he would take it; otherwise he would perform ablution and then go out (for the prayer)."

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 248:
Narrated Abu Salma bin 'Abdur Rahman:
I asked 'Aisha, "How is the prayer of Allah's Apostle during the month of Ramadan." She said, "Allah's Apostle never exceeded eleven Rakat in Ramadan or in other months; he used to offer four Rakat-- do not ask me about their beauty and length, then four Rakat, do not ask me about their beauty and length, and then three Rakat." Aisha further said, "I said, 'O Allah's Apostle! Do you sleep before offering the Witr prayer?' He replied, 'O 'Aisha! My eyes sleep but my heart remains awake'!"

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 249:
Narrated 'Aisha:
I did not see the Prophet reciting (the Quran) in the night prayer while sitting except when he became old; when he used to recite while sitting, and when thirty or forty verses remained from the Sura, he would get up and recite them and then bow.
  • Sleep early.
  • Get up in the last part of the night.
  • Pray - 11 rak`aat + witr. Make it long and beautiful. <3
  • Sleep/lie down.
  • Get up for Fajr.
One may pray sitting in illness or old age. But should try their best to stand in qiyaam.
Wassalam.

Is There Anyone? (Hadith No. 945)

Assalamu`alaykum,

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 246:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah's Apostle (p.b.u.h) said, "Our Lord, the Blessed, the Superior, comes every night down on the nearest Heaven to us when the last third of the night remains, saying: "Is there anyone to invoke Me, so that I may respond to invocation? Is there anyone to ask Me, so that I may grant him his request? Is there anyone seeking My forgiveness, so that I may forgive him?"

If someone knows this, and still misses the opportunity, I do not have words to describe his/her loss.
And I say this to myself before anyone else. -_-

The Night is Long.. (Ahadith 942 - 944)

bukhari
Published on July 22, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 243:
Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, "Satan puts three knots at the back of the head of any of you if he is asleep. On every knot he reads and exhales the following words, 'The night is long, so stay asleep.' When one wakes up and remembers Allah, one knot is undone; and when one performs ablution, the second knot is undone, and when one prays the third knot is undone and one gets up energetic with a good heart in the morning; otherwise one gets up lazy and with a mischievous heart."

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 244:
Narrated Samura bin Jundab:
The Prophet said in his narration of a dream that he saw, "He whose head was being crushed with a stone was one who learnt the Quran but never acted on it, and slept ignoring the compulsory prayers."

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 245:
Narrated 'Abdullah :
A person was mentioned before the Prophet (p.b.u.h) and he was told that he had kept on sleeping till morning and had not gotten up for the prayer. The Prophet said, "Satan urinated in his ears."

If you want Shaytan to urinate in your ears (literally), and you want to be lazy and get up with a mischievous heart, and you want your head being constantly crushed with a stone (for eternity), go ahead and keep ignoring your prayers. Go ahead and be deceived by Shaytaan when he tells you that the night is long and there's still time for prayer. Leave your prayers, by all means!

But remember this. The night will soon come to an end. But the punishment that awaits you won't EVER end. You'll want to die but you won't be able to die. You'll want to live again, but it'll be too late then. And nobody will care about you. Those in Paradise will be enjoying themselves. And they'll thank Allah for not making them suffer like you. Don't think that your loved ones in Paradise will feel bad about you. No. They'll be busy feeling good about themselves. Shaytan, whom you listened to so obediently, will ditch+disown you right there. He'll have his own punishment to face. Why would he care about you?
You, my friend, have a choice to make. To pray or not to pray? THAT is the question.

Balance (Hadith No. 941)

balance
Published on July 21, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 242:
Narrated Anas bin Malik
Sometimes Allah's Apostle would not fast (for so many days) that we thought that he would not fast that month and he sometimes used to fast (for so many days) that we thought he would not leave fasting through-out that month and (as regards his prayer and sleep at night), if you wanted to see him praying at night, you could see him praying and if you wanted to see him sleeping, you could see him sleeping.

Prophet (SAW) had a balanced personality. He liked to take the mid-road to almost everything. For example, he used to fast a lot, but people would see him not fast for a lot of days as well. He used to pray tahajjud each night, but he would definitely sleep as well.
Similarly, he did not eat too less nor too much. He was not too lenient nor too strict. Not too fast, not too slow. Take any aspect of his life, you'll find perfect balance. (y)

Now take a look at your own life. When you sit down to have Iftaar, how balanced is your in-take of food? :P
And you can judge yourself.. :)

Wassalam.

Number of Rak`aat in Tahajjud (Ahadith 937 - 940)

bukhari
Published on July 20, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

First, I'd like to congratulate you for witnessing yet another Ramadan. May Allah help us derive maximum benefit and barakah from this month. And may He accept our negligible efforts.
On the Authority of Muaadh Ibn Jamal (may Allah be pleased with him) the Prophet, peace be upon him, said,
Shall I not inform you of the gates of goodness? [They are] fasting [which] is a shield, charity [which] extenguishes the sins like water extinguishes a fire and the prayer of a man in the depths of the night.
[Recorded by al-Tirmidhi]
Moving on to today's Hadith(s)..

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 238:
Narrated 'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
A man said, "O Allah's Apostle! How is the prayer of the night?" He said, "Two Rakat followed by two Rakat and so on, and when you apprehend the approaching dawn, offer one Raka as Witr."

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 239:
Narrated Ibn Abbas:
The prayer of the Prophet used to be of thirteen Rakat, i.e. of the night prayer.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 240:
Narrated Masruq:
I asked Aisha about the night prayer of Allah's Apostle and she said, "It was seven, nine or eleven Rakat besides the two Rakat of the Fajr prayer (i.e. Sunna)."

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 241:
Narrated 'Aisha,
The Prophet (p.b.u.h) used to offer thirteen Rakat of the night prayer and that included the Witr and two Rakat (Sunna) of the Fajr prayer.

Prophet (SAW) would usually offer eleven rak`aat for Tahajjud including the witr. But it's not necessary to offer a specific number of rak`aat. All you have to make sure is that you pray in this format: 2+2+...[+1 witr].

Miswaak before Tahajjud (Hadith No. 936)

bukhari
Published on July 19, 2012 By

Assalamu`alaykum,
Bismillah.

Volume 2, Book 21, Number 237:
Narrated Hudhaifa:
Whenever the Prophet got up for Tahajjud prayer he used to clean his mouth (and teeth) with Siwak.

It's a bit weird for me because if I wake up for Tahajjud, I don't want to make any extra effort. Doing miswaak at that time seems a bit too much. But that's MY problem, and I need to fix it. If Prophet (SAW) did it, I should too.
Plus, there's a nice effect of miswaak on your prayer. Makes you fresh and ready for `ibaadah. (y)
Wassalam.
