A muṣḥaf with brief commentary and a glossary explaining uncommon or ambiguous words in the Qur’an, by Shaykh Abū ʿAmr Al-Ḥajūrī (ḥafidhahullāh).

A student of knowledge informed him that this is not permissible, that this is a graveyard, etc.
He said my wife is ill and I'm looking for a cure for her, and this sand here is blessed.

Al-'Allāmah Ibn Al-Qayyim, may Allah have mercy on him, said:
«وإن العبد ليشتد فرحه يوم القيامة بما له قبل الناس من الحقوق في المال والنفس والعرض. فالعاقل يعد هذا ذخرا ليوم الفقر والفاقة، ولا يبطله بالانتقام الذي لا يجدي عليه شيئا».
