شَرْحُ رِيَاضِ الصَّالِحِينَ مِنْ كَلَامِ سَيِّدِ الْمُرْسَلِينَ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ

A Commentary on Riyadh as-Salihin from the Words of the Master of Messengers, may Allah bless him and grant him peace.

لِلْمَوَدَّةِ وَالْمَحَبَّةِ، وَالدِّينُ الْإِسْلَامِيُّ دِينُ الْمَحَبَّةِ وَالْوَفَاءِ وَالْأُخُوَّةِ كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى: وَاذْكُرُوا نِعْمَتَ اللَّهِ عَلَيْكُمْ إِذْ كُنتُمْ أَعْدَاءً فَأَلَّفَ بَيْنَ قُلُوبِكُمْ فَأَصْبَحْتُم بِنِعْمَتِهِ إِخْوَانَا [آلِ عِمْرَانَ: ١٠٣]، نَسْأَلُ اللَّهَ أَنْ يَهْدِيَنَا وَإِيَّاكُمْ إِلَى أَحْسَنِ الْأَخْلَاقِ وَالْأَعْمَالِ، فَلَا يَهْدِي إِلَى أَحْسَنِهَا إِلَّا هُوَ، وَأَنْ يَصْرِفَ عَنَّا سَيِّئَ الْأَخْلَاقِ، وَالْأَعْمَالِ، فَلَا يَصْرِفُ عَنَّا سَيِّئَهَا إِلَّا هُوَ.

Islam is a religion of love, loyalty, and brotherhood, as the Almighty says: "Remember the favor of Allah upon you when you were enemies, and He brought your hearts together, so you became brothers by His favor" [Al-Imran: 103]. We ask Allah to guide us and you to the best of character and deeds, for none can guide to them but He, and to turn us away from evil character and deeds, for none can turn them away but He.

فَائِدَةٌ: بَعْضُ الْأَبْنَاءِ فِي بَعْضِ الدُّوَلِ قَدْ يُقَبِّلُونَ رِجْلَ وَالِدَيْهِمْ، نَقُولُ: إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ لَازِمًا أَنْ يُقَبِّلَ رِجْلَهُ، لَكِنْ لَوْ قَبَّلَهَا، فَلَا بَأْسَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ إِنْ كَانَ وَاقِفًا فَلَا يُقَبِّلُ رِجْلَهُ، أَمَّا إِنْ كَانَ جَالِسًا، أَوْ مَادًّا رِجْلَيْهِ، فَلَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بِلَازِمٍ. ٨٩٣ -

Note: In some countries, children may kiss their parents' feet. We say this is not required; however, there is no harm if one does so. If a parent is standing, one should not kiss their foot. If they are sitting or have their legs stretched out, there is no harm in it, though it remains unnecessary.
