What is Islam - eBook
عن سلمة بن عبيد الله بن محصن الخطمي عن أبيه وكانت له صحبة قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من أصبح منكم آمنا في سربه معافى في جسده عنده قوت يومه فكأنما حيزت له الدنيا (سنن الترمذي الرقم: 2346)
Hazrat ‘Ubaidillah bin Mihsan (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “Whoever among you commences the morning in the condition that he is safe and secure in his life (i.e. his life is not in danger), enjoying good and sound health in his body, while possessing the food he requires for the day, then it is as though the world has been gathered for him (i.e. the goodness of the entire world is contained in these three favors).”

Written by user2The Greatest Person of this Ummah
Hazrat Abu Dardaa (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports:
On one occasion, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) saw me walking in front of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu). Seeing this, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said to me, “Do not walk in front of the one who is better than you.” Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) then mentioned, “Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) is the best person (of this ummah) upon whom the sun rose or upon whom the sun set.”

The Arch Enemies of Islam - Aswad bin ‘Abd-e-Yaghooth
Written by user2Aswad bin ‘Abd-e-Yaghooth was the cousin of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) i.e. Aswad’s father was the brother of Hazrat Aaminah, the mother of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). His family lineage is as follows: Aswad bin ‘Abd-e-Yaghooth bin Wahab bin Munaaf bin Zuhrah.
He was also one of the bitter enemies of Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). When he would see the poor Muslims, he would sarcastically remark, “These are the future kings of the world who will become the heirs of Chosroe’s kingdom.” When he would see Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam), he would sarcastically say, “What is the matter? Has nothing descended from the heavens today? He would also make other similar remarks.
(Extracted from Seeratul Mustafa 1/221)
Abu Bakr Marroozi (rahimahullah) reports, “Imaam Ahmed bin Hambal (rahimahullah) had great love for the poor and destitute. I did not see a poor person receiving more honour in any gathering than in the gathering of Imaam Ahmed (rahimahullah).”
Abu Bakr Marroozi (rahimahullah) similarly reports:
On one occasion, Imaam Ahmed (rahimahullah) took the name of a certain poor person who was ill and said to me, “Go to him and ask him, ‘Tell us what food you are feeling for so that we may prepare it for you.’” Imaam Ahmed (rahimahullah) also handed some ‘itr to me and said, “Apply some ‘itr for him as well.”
(Manaaqib Imaam Ahmed libnil Jowzi pg. 364)
عن أبي هريرة قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: من سره أن يستجيب الله له عند الشدائد والكرب فليكثر الدعاء في الرخاء (سنن الترمذي الرقم: 3382)
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The one who wishes that Allah Ta‘ala will answer his du‘aa in times of difficulty and worry, then he should engage in abundant du‘aa in times of ease and comfort (i.e. one should not only turn to Allah Ta‘ala in du‘aa at times of hardship, rather one should make du‘aa to Allah Ta‘ala at the time of ease and comfort as well).”
Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) – Part Twenty Two
Written by user2Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) was blessed to accompany Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) on the journey of hijrah. When departing, Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) took with him all the money that he possessed at that time, which was approximately five thousand dirhams, so that he could use it to assist Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) in the path of Allah Ta‘ala.
Whenever Aswad bin Muttalib and his friends would see Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) and his Sahaabah (radhiyallahu ‘anhum), they would wink their eyes at each other and mockingly say, “These are the people who will rule the earth and seize the treasures of Caesar and Chosroe.” Making these sarcastic remarks, they would whistle and clap their hands in mockery.
Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) cursed Aswad in the following words, “O Allah! Make him blind (so that he is unable to wink his eyes in mockery) and destroy his son.” As a result, Aswad immediately became blind and his son was killed in the Battle of Badr.
At the time when the Quraish were making preparations for the Battle of Uhud, Aswad was ill, but he was still making an effort to incite the people against Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam). He died before the Battle of Uhud.
(Extracted from Seeratul Mustafa 1/221)
Rabee’ bin Sulaimaan (rahimahullah) reports that he once heard Imaam Shaafi‘ee (rahimahullah) mention the following:
The goodness of this world and the next can be found in five qualities; the contentment of the heart, refraining from causing any harm or inconvenience to the creation, earning a halaal livelihood, adorning yourself with taqwa, and placing your trust in Allah Ta‘ala in all conditions.
(Manaaqib-ush-Shaafi‘ee li-lBayhaqi vol. 2 pg. 170)
Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) – Part Twenty One
Written by user2Hazrat Sa‘eed bin Musayyib (rahimahullah) reports that Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “There is no man from the Muslims whose wealth benefited me (in the path of deen) more than the wealth of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu).” Hazrat Sa‘eed (rahimahullah) thereafter mentioned, “Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) would deal in the wealth of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) like his own wealth (i.e. on account of Hazrat Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) sacrificing everything for him to use for the cause of deen).” (Musannaf ‘Abdur Razzaaq #21319)
عن شداد بن أوس عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: الكيس من دان نفسه وعمل لما بعد الموت والعاجز من أتبع نفسه هواها وتمنى على الله (سنن الترمذي الرقم: 2459)
Hazrat Shaddaad bin Aws (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) reports that Nabi (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said, “The prudent (and intelligent) person is the one who takes stock of his nafs and carries out righteous actions that will benefit him after his death, and the unwise (and foolish) person is the one who allows his nafs to follow its desires (and carries out actions against the commands of Allah Ta‘ala) while having hope upon Allah Ta‘ala (to forgive him).”
