| Subject: A Most Beautiful Hadith. Thu Jan 13, 2011 1:02 am | |
| Browsing through the Mysticism and spirituality website the other day, I came across what you might call the Most beautiful Hadith from the Messenger of Allah, Sayyidina Muhammad, sallallahu alaihi wasallam. It was related by that great Army General, Khalid Ibn Walid, may Allah be pleased with him. A Bedouin came one day to the Holy Prophet, alaihi salat wassalm, and said to him, ''O Messenger of Allah! I have come to ask you a few questions about the affairs of this life and the Hereafter.''-Ask what you wish.
Q: I'd like to be the most learned of men. A: Fear Allah, and you will be the most learned of men. Q; I wish to be the richest man in the world. A; Be contented, and you will be the richest man in the world. Q: I'd like to be the most just man. A: Desire for others what you desire for yourself, and you will be the most just of men. Q; I want to be the best of men. A; Do good to others and you will be the best of men. Q: I wish to be the most favored by Allah. A: Engage much in Allah's praise, and you will be favored by Him. Q: I'd like to complete my faith. A: If you have good manners you will complete your faith. Q: I wish to be among those who do good. A: Adore Allah as if you see Him. If you do not see Him, He sees you. In this way you will be among those who do good. Q: I wish to be obedient to Allah. A: If you observe Allah's commands, you will be obedient. Q: I'd like to be free from all sins. A: Bathe yourself from impurities and you will be free from all sins. Q: I'd like to be raised on the day of judgement in the light. A: Do not wrong yourself or any other creature, and you will be raised on the day of judgement in the light. Q: I'd like Allah to bestow His mercy on me. A: If you have mercy on youreself and others, Allah will grant you mercy on the day of judgement. Q: I'd like my sins to be very few. A: If you seek the forgiveness of Allah as much as you can, your sins will be very few.
Let us put ourselves in the shoes of the Bedouin, and act in accordance with the answers he received from the Noble Messenger, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam. | |
