The Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) taught his Companions may Allah be pleased with them to first praise Allah The Exalted duly, as He deserves, then ask Him to send His blessings upon him (the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention )) and to grant him peace, then to supplicate Him. Then the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) heard a man praying and praising Allah The Almighty and asking Him to send peace and blessings upon the Prophet sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) so, he sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allah exalt his mention ) said: ‘Invoke Allah and He will answer your invocation and give you what you ask Him for.” [An-Nasaa’i], [Al-Albaani: in As-Saheehah]
How good is patience and deliberation, as it brings good qualities that reassure a person and enable him to avoid any harm that might afflict someone who is hasty. Patience and deliberation brings peace of mind during the night and inner peace during the day. Abu Haatim said, “The hasty person cannot be caught, while the patient, deliberate one cannot be preceded. The silent person can never regret, while the one who speaks can is never be safe of from making mistakes. The hasty person usually speaks before he is sure; answers before he understands and praises before he tries.”
Dear honorable brothers and sisters, how much will the merchant lose if he buys merchandise that he does not know? How much will the spouses regret, if they get married without careful consideration or consultation? How great is the regret of the husband if he hastens to divorce his wife without talking to her politely or submitting the issue to two wise arbitrators? How much will the student regret if he is hasty during an exam and does not think carefully about his answer? How much will the friend feel sorry when accusing his friend without having any proof of this accusation? Will the judge be just if he is hasty with his sentence?
