The Prophet,
, said: “That was tranquility, which descended as a result of the recitation of the Quran.”[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
Tranquility was one of the attributes of the Prophet,
, that were mentioned in the previous scriptures, such as where it is stated: “I [Allaah The Almighty] will send an illiterate messenger; he will be neither impolite, rough nor noisy in the markets. He will not be obscene or vulgar. I will make him tranquil and good.”more..........
Assurance of the heart and consoling those who are distressed
Tranquility is a delicate feeling created by Allaah The Almighty. It descended upon the heart of the Prophet, , and the hearts of the believers. Tranquility implies spirit and power; hence, it reassures those who are frightened and consoles those who are distressed. Ibn ‘Abbaas 
said, “We would say that tranquility was materialized in ‘Umar’s tongue [speech] and heart.”
Ibn Mas‘ood said, “Tranquility is gain, and forsaking it is loss.”
Ibn ‘Abbaas said, “Every occurrence of the word Sakeenah in the Quran refers to tranquility, except the one that is in Soorat Al-Baqarah.” He was referring to the Quranic verse where Allaah The Almighty Says (what means): {And their prophet said to them, “Indeed, a sign of his kingship is that the chest will come to you in which is Sakeenah [assurance] from your Lord and a remnant of what the family of Moosa [Moses] and the family of Haaroon [Aaron] had left, carried by the angels. Indeed in that is a sign for you, if you are believers.”}[Quran 2:248]
Sharee‘ah texts enjoin us to adopt tranquility
- In a Hadeeth on the authority of Abu Hurayrah he said, “Iheard the Prophet saying: ‘When the Iqaamah is pronounced, do not go to prayer running; you should walk calmly with tranquility. Pray what you catch in congregation and complete what you miss.”[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
- The Prophet, , also said:“When the Iqaamah is pronounced, do not get up until you see me. Then get up with tranquility.”[Al-Bukhaari]
- The Prophet, , also said: “Make things easy for people, and do not make things difficult for them, and make them tranquil [with glad tidings] and do not repulse [them].”[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
- The Prophet, , said to the people on the evening of ‘Arafah during the Farewell Pilgrimage: “O people! Proceed with tranquility.”
- Tranquility is from Allaah The Almighty, and like all the blessings of Allaah The Almighty, it can never be obtained except though our obedience to Him. Supplication is one the greatest causes of being endowed with tranquility. Allaah The Almighty Says (what means):
· {But Allaah sent down His tranquility upon His Messenger and upon the believers and imposed upon them the word of righteousness, and they were more deserving of it and worthy of it. And ever is Allaah, of all things, Knowing.}[Quran 48:26]
· {It is He who sent down tranquility into the hearts of the believers that they would increase in faith along with their [present] faith. And to Allaah belong the soldiers of the heavens and the earth, and ever is Allaah Knowing and Wise.}[Quran 48:4]
- The Prophet, , said: “That was tranquility, which descended as a result of the recitation of the Quran.”[Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
- The Prophet, , also said: “Any group of people who assemble in one of the Houses of Allaah to recite and study the Quran, tranquility will descend upon them, mercy will overwhelm them, angels will surround them, and Allaah will make mention of them [to the angels].”[Muslim]
- In a Hadeeth on the authority of Abu Hurayrah the Prophet, , said: “Pride and arrogance are the characteristics of camel owners, whereas, tranquility and dignity are characteristics of sheep owners.” [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
