To Make The Heart Tender

Narrated Abu Huraira (Radi-Allahu 'anhu):

The Prophet (Sallallahu 'Alaihi Wa Sallam) said, "Riches does not mean
having a great amount of property, but riches is self-contentment."

Bukhari Vol. 8 : No. 453

sura taghabun

blessed are the strangers

Abullah ibn Amar ibn Al-‘As رضي الله عنه narrated: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم said, “One day, and we are here, blessed are the strangers.” It was said, “O Messenger of Allah, who are the strangers?” He said, “Righteous people amidst many evil people who disobey the righteous more than they obey them.”

[Musnad Ahmad, Number 6612, Narrations of Abullah ibn Amar ibn Al-‘As (مُسْنَدُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ)]

عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ طُوبَى لِلْغُرَبَاءِ فَقِيلَ مَنْ الْغُرَبَاءُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ أُنَاسٌ صَالِحُونَ فِي أُنَاسِ سُوءٍ كَثِيرٍ مَنْ يَعْصِيهِمْ أَكْثَرُ مِمَّنْ يُطِيعُهُمْ

 

All praise is due to Allah

Ibn Abbas (رضي الله عنه) reported: Dimad came to Mecca and he belonged to the tribe of Azd Shanu’a, and he used to protect the person who was under the influence of charms. He heard the foolish people of Mecca say that Muhammad was under the spell. Upon this he said, “If I were to come across this man, Allah might cure him at my hand.” He met him and said, “Muhammad, I can protect someone who is under the influence of charms, and Allah cures one whom He so desires at my hand. Do you want this?” Upon this the Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said, “All praise is due to Allah, we praise Him, ask His help; and he whom Allah guides aright there is none to lead him astray, and he who is led astray there is none to guide him, and I bear witness that there is no god but Allah, He is One having no partner with Him, and that Muhammad is His Servant and Messenger. To proceed…” Now after this Dimad said: “Repeat these words of yours before me,” and the Messenger of Allah repeated these to him three times. And he said, “I have heard the words of soothsayers, magicians, and poets, but I have never heard such words as yours, and they reach the depth (of eloquence). Bring forth your hand so I can take an oath of loyalty to you and Islam.” So he took an oath of allegiance to him. The Messenger of Allah (صلى الله عليه وسلم) said: “And on behalf of your people.” He said, “On behalf of my people.” The Messenger of Allah sent an expedition that passed by his people. The leader of the expedition said to the army, “Did you find anything from these people?” One of them said, “I found a basin for water.” So the leader said, “Return it, for indeed these are the people of Dimad.”

Do not return

Jarir ibn Abdullah رضي الله عنه reported: The Messenger of Allah صلى الله عليه وسلم asked him on the occasion of the Farewell Pilgrimage to make the people silent, and then he said: “Do not return to unbelief after me by killing each other.”

[Sahih Muslim, Book 1, Number 124]

جَرِيرٍ قَالَ قَالَ لِيَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ ‏”‏ اسْتَنْصِتِ النَّاسَ ‏”‏ ثُمَّ قَالَ‏ لاَ تَرْجِعُوا بَعْدِي كُفَّارًا يَضْرِبُ بَعْضُكُمْ رِقَابَ بَعْضٍ

Hadith Qudsi

Narrated Abu Dharr al-Ghifari: Among the sayings of the Messenger of Allah that he related from his Lord Almighty is that he said:

O My servants, I have forbidden oppression for Myself and have made it forbidden amongst you, so do not oppress one another. O My servants, all of you are astray except for those I have guided, so seek guidance of Me and I shall guide you. O My servants, all of you are hungry except for those I have fed, so seek food of Me and I shall feed you. O My servants, all of you are naked except for those I have clothed, so seek clothing of Me and I shall clothe you. O My servants, you sin by night and by day, and I forgive all sins, so seek forgiveness of Me and I shall forgive you. O My servants, you will not attain harming Me so as to harm Me, and you will not attain benefiting Me so as to benefit Me. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as pious as the most pious heart of any one man of you, that would not increase My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to be as wicked as the most wicked heart of any one man of you, that would not decrease My kingdom in anything. O My servants, were the first of you and the last of you, the human of you and the jinn of you to rise up in one place and make a request of Me, and were I to give everyone what he requested, that would not decrease what I have, any more than a needle decreases the sea if put into it. O My servants, it is but your deeds that I reckon up for you and then recompense you for, so let him who finds good praise Allah and let him who finds other than that blame no one but himself.

Hadith Qudsi

Narrated Abu Hurairah: the Prophet said:

Allah Almighty has supernumerary angels who rove about seeking out gatherings in which Allah’s name is being invoked: they sit with them and fold their wings round each other, filling in that which is between them and between the lowest heaven. When [the people in the gathering] depart, [the angels] ascend and rise up to heaven.” He (the Prophet – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Then Allah (mighty and sublime be He) asks them – [though] He is most knowing about them: ‘From where have you come?’ And they say: ‘We have come from some servants of Yours on Earth: they were glorifying You (Subhana llah), exalting you (Allahu akbar), witnessing that there is no god but You (La ilaha illa llah), praising You (Al-Hamdu lillah), and asking [favours] of You.’ He says: ‘And what do they ask of Me?’ They say: ‘They ask of You Your Paradise.’ He says: ‘And have they seen My Paradise?’ They say: ‘No, O Lord.’ He says: ‘And how would it be were they to have seen My Paradise!’ They say: ‘And they ask protection of You.’ He says: ‘From what do they ask protection of Me?’ They say: ‘From Your Hell-fire, O Lord.’ He says: ‘And have they seen My Hell-fire?’ They say: ‘No.’ He says: ‘And how would it be were they to have seen My Hell-fire!’ They say: ‘And they ask for Your forgiveness.’” He (the Prophet – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “Then He says: ‘I have forgiven them and I have bestowed upon them what they have asked for, and I have granted them sanctuary from that from which they asked protection.’” He (the Prophet – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “They say: ‘O Lord, among then is So-and-so, a much sinning servant, who was merely passing by and sat down with them.’” He (the Prophet – peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: “And He says: ‘And to him [too] I have given forgiveness: he who sits with such people shall not suffer.’

بِسْمِ اللّٰهِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِيْمِ

وَلَتَجِدَنَّهُمْ أَحْرَصَ النَّاسِ عَلَىٰ حَيَاةٍ وَمِنَ الَّذِينَ أَشْرَكُوا ۚ يَوَدُّ أَحَدُهُمْ لَوْ يُعَمَّرُ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ وَمَا هُوَ بِمُزَحْزِحِهِ مِنَ الْعَذَابِ أَن يُعَمَّرَ ۗ وَاللَّهُ بَصِيرٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ

2:96

Thou wilt indeed find them, of all people, most greedy of life,-even more than the idolaters: Each one of them wishes He could be given a life of a thousand years: But the grant of such life will not save him from (due) punishment. For Allah sees well all that they do.

بلکہ ان کو تم اور لوگوں سے زندگی کے کہیں حریص دیکھو گے، یہاں تک کہ مشرکوں سے بھی۔ ان میں سے ہر ایک یہی خواہش کرتا ہے کہ کاش وہ ہزار برس جیتا رہے، مگر اتنی لمبی عمر اس کو مل بھی جائے تو اسے عذاب سے تو نہیں چھڑا سکتی۔ اور جو کام یہ کرتے ہیں، خدا ان کو دیکھ رہا ہے

Dan sungguh kamu akan mendapati mereka, manusia yang paling loba kepada kehidupan (di dunia), bahkan (lebih loba lagi) dari orang-orang musyrik. Masing-masing mereka ingin agar diberi umur seribu tahun, padahal umur panjang itu sekali-kali tidak akan menjauhkannya daripada siksa. Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang mereka kerjakan.

আপনি তাদেরকে জীবনের প্রতি সবার চাইতে, এমনকি মুশরিকদের চাইতেও অধিক লোভী দেখবেন। তাদের প্রত্যেকে কামনা করে, যেন হাজার বছর আয়ু পায়। অথচ এরূপ আয়ু প্রাপ্তি তাদেরকে শাস্তি থেকে রক্ষা করতে পারবে না। আল্লাহ দেখেন যা কিছু তারা করে।

و آنها را حریص‌ترین مردم -حتی حریصتر از مشرکان- بر زندگی (این دنیا، و اندوختن ثروت) خواهی یافت؛ (تا آنجا) که هر یک از آنها آرزو دارد هزار سال عمر به او داده شود! در حالی که این عمر طولانی، او را از کیفر (الهی) باز نخواهد داشت. و خداوند به اعمال آنها بیناست.

وَلَن يَتَمَنَّوْهُ أَبَدًا بِمَا قَدَّمَتْ أَيْدِيهِمْ ۗ وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِالظَّالِمِينَ

2:95

But they will never seek for death, on account of the (sins) which their hands have sent on before them. and Allah is well-acquainted with the wrong-doers.

لیکن ان اعمال کی وجہ سے، جو ان کے ہاتھ آگے بھیج چکے ہیں، یہ کبھی اس کی آرزو نہیں کریں گے، اور خدا ظالموں سے (خوب) واقف ہے

Dan sekali-kali mereka tidak akan mengingini kematian itu selama-lamanya, karena kesalahan-kesalahan yang telah diperbuat oleh tangan mereka (sendiri), dan Allah Maha Mengetahui siapa orang-orang yang aniaya.

কস্মিনকালেও তারা মৃত্যু কামনা করবে না ঐসব গোনাহর কারণে, যা তাদের হাত পাঠিয়ে দিয়েছে। আল্লাহ গোনাহগারদের সম্পর্কে সম্যক অবগত রয়েছেন।

ولی آنها، به خاطر اعمال بدی که پیش از خود فرستاده‌اند، هرگز آرزوی مرگ نخواهند کرد؛ و خداوند از ستمگران آگاه است.

Hadith Qudsi

Narrated Abu Hurairah: the Prophet said: Allah Almighty says:

Fasting is Mine and it is I Who give reward for it. [A man] gives up his sexual passion, his food and his drink for My sake.’ Fasting is like a shield, and he who fasts has two joys: a joy when he breaks his fast and a joy when he meets his Lord. The change in the breath of the mouth of him who fasts is better in Allah’s estimation than the smell of musk.

2:94

Say: "If the last Home, with Allah, be for you specially, and not for anyone else, then seek ye for death, if ye are sincere."

کہہ دو کہ اگر آخرت کا گھر اور لوگوں (یعنی مسلمانوں) کے لیے نہیں اور خدا کے نزدیک تمہارے ہی لیے مخصوص ہے تو اگر سچے ہو تو موت کی آرزو تو کرو

Katakanlah: "Jika kamu (menganggap bahwa) kampung akhirat (surga) itu khusus untukmu di sisi Allah, bukan untuk orang lain, maka inginilah kematian(mu), jika kamu memang benar.

বলে দিন, যদি আখেরাতের বাসস্থান আল্লাহর কাছে একমাত্র তোমাদের জন্যই বরাদ্দ হয়ে থাকে-অন্য লোকদের বাদ দিয়ে, তবে মৃত্যু কামনা কর, যদি সত্যবাদী হয়ে থাক।

بگو: «اگر آن (چنان که مدعی هستید) سرای دیگر در نزد خدا، مخصوص شماست نه سایر مردم، پس آرزوی مرگ کنید اگر راست می‌گویید!»
