Help of Allaah comes with Dua’
إنَّما ينصرُ اللهُ هذه الأمَّةَ بضعيفِها
Translated & Compiled

Abbas Abu Yahya
From Musab bin Saad from his father, he thought that he had an excellence above other than himself from the Companions of the Prophet -sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam- so the Prophet -sallAllahu alayhi wa sallam- said:
إنَّما ينصرُ اللهُ هذه الأمَّةَ بضعيفِها، بدعوتِهم وصلاتِهم وإخلاصِهم
‘Indeed Allaah will only aid this Ummah through its weak, by their supplication, their prayer and their sincerity.’
[Collected by Nisa’ee, Al-Albaani said: ‘This isnad is authentic upon the conditions of Bukhari & Muslim. Bukhari collected it from another chain from Musab from his father without the aforementioned details.’ From Silsilah Ahadeeth Saheehah vol. 2 p. 409 in the research of hadeeth no. 779]
An Explanation
Shaykh Muhammad Nasiruddeen Al-Albaani (d. 1420 A.H.) commented on this hadeeth saying:
‘Know that the explanation of the word ‘aid/victory’ which is mentioned in the hadeeth has been stated, and that it is not aid or victory by the righteous ones physically themselves, but rather it is by their Dua’ and their sincerity.’
Then the Shaykh mentions the hadeeth.

Ikhlaas is the Symbol of the Ummah of the Prophet
Allaah Ta’ala said:
﴿ قُلْ أَتُحَاجُّونَنَا فِي اللَّهِ وَهُوَ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ وَلَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُخْلِصُونَ ﴾ [البقرة: 139]
<< Say (O Muhammad to the Jews and Christians), “Do you dispute with us about Allaah while He is our Lord and your Lord? And we are to be rewarded for our deeds and you for your deeds. And we are sincere to Him in worship and obedience (i.e. we worship Him Alone and none else, and we obey His Orders).”>> [Baqarah: 139]
Shamsuddeen Muhammad bin Abee Bakr Ibn Qayyim aj-Jawzeeyah (d. 751 A.H.) -Rahimahullaah- mentions:
‘From Yazeed bin Abu Maryam who said: Umar -RadhiAllaahu anhu- passed by Muadh bin Jabal Umar -RadhiAllaahu anhu- and said, what is the sustenance of this Ummah?
Mu’adh said: ‘Three, and they are successful matters: Sincerity, which is the natural disposition, upon which Allaah made the people upon. The Salah (prayer): and that is the religion. Also, obedience: and that is the protection.’
Umar -RadhiAllaahu anhu- said: ‘You have spoken the truth.’

[ عن سعدٍ ] أنه ظنَّ أن له فضلًا على من دونه من أصحابِ النبيِّ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ فقال النبيُّ صلَّى اللهُ عليهِ وسلَّمَ : إنما ينصرُ اللهُ هذه الأمةَ بضعيفِها بدعوتِهم وصلاتِهم وإخلاصِهم

قد جعل الله تعالى الإخلاص عنوانًا لأمة النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم؛ قال تعالى: ﴿ قُلْ أَتُحَاجُّونَنَا فِي اللَّهِ وَهُوَ رَبُّنَا وَرَبُّكُمْ وَلَنَا أَعْمَالُنَا وَلَكُمْ أَعْمَالُكُمْ وَنَحْنُ لَهُ مُخْلِصُونَ ﴾ [البقرة: 139]؛ وقد ذكر ابن القيم في كتابه (شفاء العليل، ص: 286) عن يزيد بن أبي مريم، قال: ((مرَّ عمر رضي الله عنه بمعاذ بن جبل رضي الله عنه، فقال: ما قِوام هذه الأمة؟ قال معاذ: ثلاث وهن المنجيات: الإخلاص؛ وهو الفطرة، فطرة الله التي فطر الناس عليها، والصلاة؛ وهي الملة، والطاعة؛ وهي العصمة، فقال عمر رضي الله عنه: صدقت)).
