Ibn Rajab al-Hanbali
In this book, the author, Ibn Rajab (Allah have mercy on him), sets out to explain the advice given by the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) to ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him): ’Protect Allah and He will protect you...’ Abdu’l-Qadir al-Jilani (Allah have mercy on him) said that every believer should consider this hadith to be a mirror to their heart, an axiom, a shelter, and a topic of conversation. He further suggested that believers should act in accordance with it in all times of motion and stillness, with the aim of being saved in this world and in the Hereafter. This is an excellent book which requires repeated reading in order to fully comprehend the profound wisdom it contains.
