Chapter 17: Ameen Ameen Ameen
Quote of the Day: “Remaining silent is salvation, and that is a fundamental principle. And staying quiet at the proper time is a characteristic of manhood, just as speaking when it is proper to speak is from the most honorable of matters.”
Abul Qaasim al-Qushayri
It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah (may Allaah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) ascended the minbar and said: “Ameen, ameen, ameen.” It was said: ‘O Messenger of Allaah, you ascended the minbar and said, ‘Ameen, ameen, ameen.” He said: “Jibreel (peace be upon him) came to me and said: ‘If Ramadaan comes and a person is not forgiven, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘O Muhammad, if both or one of a person’s parents are alive and he does not honour them and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen. He said: ‘If you are mentioned in a person’s presence and he does not send blessings upon you and he dies, he will enter Hell and Allaah will cast him far away. Say Ameen.’ So I said Ameen.”

Once the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) was ascending the pulpit. When he climbed the one step, he said 'Ameen'. He repeated, "Ameen" when he climbed the second step. He uttered 'Ameen' when he climbed the third step. When the Prophet (P.B.U.H.) descended the pulpit, the companions told him that they happened to hear something new. He (P.B.U.H.) asked them what they meant. The companions said that he uttered Ameen while ascending every step of the pulpit. The Prophet told them. Hadrat Jibreel was before me, When I ascended the first step he cursed, "Woe to him who in spite of having been provided with he month of Ramdhan fails to obtain Allah's forgiveness. I said, "Ameen". When I climbed the second step the angel cursed him who fails to send blessing on the Prophet after listening to his name. I said "Ameen". When I climbed the third step the angel cursed "Woe to him who finds either one and both of his parents in old age, and yet is not able to enter Heaven". I said "Ameen".
