مدارج السالكين ٢/٥٠٢ | للإمام ابن قيم الجوزية رحمه الله

Al-Imām ibn al-Qayyim [may Allāh have mercy on him] said:

“When the affairs of Shaykh ul-Islām ibn Taymiyyah [may Allāh have mercy on him] intensified [i.e. he encountered severe difficulty in his affairs], he would recite the verses of serenity _(Āyāt as-Sakeenah)_.”

Madārij as-Sālikeen, 2/502 | Al-Imām ibn al-Qayyim [may Allāh have mercy on him].

TN: Al-Imām ibn al-Qayyim [may Allāh have mercy on him] tells us that _sakeenah_ is mentioned in six verses of the Clear Qur’ān. These verses are:

١. وَقَالَ لَهُمْ نَبِيُّهُمْ إِنَّ ءَايَةَ مُلْكِهِۦٓ أَن يَأْتِيَكُمُ ٱلتَّابُوتُ فِيهِ سَكِينَةٌۭ مِّن رَّبِّكُمْ

1. Their prophet further told them, “The sign of Saul’s kingship is that the Ark will come to you - containing reassurance/serenity from your Lord. [Q.2:248]

٢. ثُمَّ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَعَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

2. Then Allah sent down His reassurance/serenity upon His Messenger and the believers. [Q.9:26]

٣. إِذْ يَقُولُ لِصَـٰحِبِهِۦ لَا تَحْزَنْ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ مَعَنَا ۖ فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَيْهِ وَأَيَّدَهُۥ بِجُنُودٍۢ لَّمْ تَرَوْهَا

3. He reassured his companion, “Do not worry; Allah is certainly with us.” So Allah sent down His serenity upon the Prophet, supported him with forces you ˹believers˺ did not see. [Q.9:40]

٤. هُوَ ٱلَّذِىٓ أَنزَلَ ٱلسَّكِينَةَ فِى قُلُوبِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ لِيَزْدَادُوٓا۟ إِيمَـٰنًۭا مَّعَ إِيمَـٰنِهِمْ ۗ وَلِلَّهِ جُنُودُ ٱلسَّمَـٰوَٰتِ وَٱلْأَرْضِ ۚ وَكَانَ ٱللَّهُ عَلِيمًا حَكِيمًۭا

4. He is the One Who sent down serenity upon the hearts of the believers so that they may increase even more in their faith. To Allah ˹alone˺ belong the forces of the heavens and the earth. And Allah is All-Knowing, All-Wise. [Q.48:4]

٥. لَّقَدْ رَضِىَ ٱللَّهُ عَنِ ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ إِذْ يُبَايِعُونَكَ تَحْتَ ٱلشَّجَرَةِ فَعَلِمَ مَا فِى قُلُوبِهِمْ فَأَنزَلَ ٱلسَّكِينَةَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَأَثَـٰبَهُمْ فَتْحًۭا قَرِيبًۭا

5. Indeed, Allah was pleased with the believers when they pledged allegiance to you ˹O Prophet˺ under the tree. He knew what was in their hearts, so He sent down serenity upon them and rewarded them with a victory at hand. [Q.48:18]

٦. إِذْ جَعَلَ ٱلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا۟ فِى قُلُوبِهِمُ ٱلْحَمِيَّةَ حَمِيَّةَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِيَّةِ فَأَنزَلَ ٱللَّهُ سَكِينَتَهُۥ عَلَىٰ رَسُولِهِۦ وَعَلَى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ

6. ˹Remember˺ when the disbelievers had filled their hearts with pride—the pride of ˹pre-Islamic˺ ignorance¹ —then Allah sent down His serenity upon His Messenger and the believers. [Q.48:26]

¹. This is when the pagans prevented the Prophet (ﷺ) and the believers from entering the Sacred House for ‘umrah and the arrogance they showed when drafting the peace agreement.
