| Subject: Do Not Be Like A Bad Labourer. Mon Jan 07, 2019 2:32 pm | |
| As-Salaam alaikum, In his 40 Hadith collection, Ma'mar Ibn Ahmad al-Asbahani narrated on the authority of Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, who said that one day, the Messenger of Allah, Sallallahu alaihi Wasallam, censured us in his Khutba. He said:--
"Oh Ummah of Muhammad! A Sage among the Sages showed more understanding than you when his companions called him to pleasures and disobedience. He said, 'I am ashamed of my Lord to worship Him, hoping for paradise as a reward, and therefore be like a bad labourer: If he is given his wage he works, and if he is not given it, he does not work.
And I am ashamed of my Lord to worship Him out of fear of the Fire and be also like a bad labourer: If he is fearful of his master he works, and if he is not, he does not work. I only worship Him for what He deserves, for He deserves to be worshiped." | |
