التعريف
Acts encouraged in the Sharī‘ah. Doing them is rewarded; leaving them is not punished. Also called sunnah, mandūb, or nafl.
النطق: mus-ta-ḤABB
الاشتقاق والجذر
From the root ح-ب-ب (ḥ-b-b), meaning 'to love.' The mustaḥabb is what is 'loved' to be done.
التطبيق العملي
Mustaḥabb acts (sunnah ṣalāhs, dhikr, ṣadaqah) compensate for shortcomings in obligations on the Day of Judgement, as the famous ḥadīth describes.
