(Book 20, Hadith 254) #36017
The Mercy of Allah on Days of Arafa and Badr

SUMMARY: On the Day of Arafa, Shaytan is filled with anger and contempt due to Allah's mercy and disregard for wrong actions. On the Day of Badr, Shaytan saw Jibril arranging the ranks of angels.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ibrahim ibn Abi Abla from Talha ibn Ubaydullah ibn Kariyz that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Shaytan is not considered more abased or more cast out or more contemptible or more angry on any day than on the Day of Arafa. That is only because he sees the descent of the Mercy and Allah's disregard for great wrong actions. That is except from what he was shown on the Day of Badr". Someone said, "What was he shown on the Day of Badr, Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Didn't he see Jibril arranging the ranks of the angels?"
وَحَدَّثَنِي عَنْ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي عَبْلَةَ، عَنْ طَلْحَةَ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ كَرِيزٍ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ مَا رُئِيَ الشَّيْطَانُ يَوْمًا هُوَ فِيهِ أَصْغَرُ وَلاَ أَدْحَرُ وَلاَ أَحْقَرُ وَلاَ أَغْيَظُ مِنْهُ فِي يَوْمِ عَرَفَةَ وَمَا ذَاكَ إِلاَّ لِمَا رَأَى مِنْ تَنَزُّلِ الرَّحْمَةِ وَتَجَاوُزِ اللَّهِ عَنِ الذُّنُوبِ الْعِظَامِ إِلاَّ مَا أُرِيَ يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قِيلَ وَمَا رَأَى يَوْمَ بَدْرٍ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ أَمَا إِنَّهُ قَدْ رَأَى جِبْرِيلَ يَزَعُ الْمَلاَئِكَةَ

EXPLANATIONS:
The hadith speaks about two important days in Islam - the Day of Arafah and the Day of Badr. On these days, Allah shows His mercy by disregarding great wrong actions on one day, while on another day He shows His power by having Jibril arrange ranks for angels. This hadith teaches us that we should always be mindful that Allah is merciful but also powerful; He can forgive us our sins but also punish us if we do not repent or turn away from our wrongdoings. We should strive to live a life that pleases Him so that we can receive His blessings in this world and in the hereafter.
