The Compassion of Allah Upon His Slaves

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.37

On the authority of Ibn Abbas (Radhiallahu anhu) from the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) is that among the sayings he relates from his Lord (Glorified and Exalted be He) is that he said:

Allah has written down the good deeds and the bad ones. Then He explained it [by saying that] he who has intended a good deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as from ten (10) good deeds to seven hundred (700) times, or many times over.

But if he has intended a bad deed and has not done it, Allah writes it down with Himself as a full good deed, but if he has intended it and has done it, Allah writes it down as one bad deed.

The best Jihad for women is 'Hajj Mabrur'

`Aishah (May Allah be pleased with her) reported:

I said: "O Messenger of Allah! We consider Jihad as the best deed, should we not then go for Jihad?''

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said, "The best Jihad for you women is Hajj Mabrur (i.e., one accepted by Allah).''

[Al-Bukhari].

Commentary:
In ordinary circumstances, Hajj is the best of Jihad for women because in Islam, politics, economy, government, military affairs etc., come in the purview of men and men alone. Women are exempted from all such matters. However, in case of war, if the need arises, women can be engaged for supply of food, first-aid of the wounded etc., on the internal front, provided they can do such works without crossing the bounds of the Islamic-type veil. But imparting military training to women and dispatching them to war front are sheer imitations of the western nations for which there is no scope in the teachings of Islam. This Hadith also confirms this view.

Praise be to Allah Who has saved him from Hell-fire

Anas (Radhiallaho anha) reported:

A young Jewish boy who was in the service of the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) fell ill. The Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) went to visit him. He sat down by his head and said to him, "Embrace Islam.'' The little boy looked at his father who was sitting beside him. He said: "Obey Abul-Qasim (i.e., the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam)).'' So he embraced Islam and the Prophet (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) stepped out saying, "Praise be to Allah Who has saved him from Hell-fire.''

[Al-Bukhari].

Commentary:
Herein, the example of the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) inspires us to visit even a sick disbeliever and invite him to accept Islam. Besides, the Hadith tells that the company of the virtuous does bear fruit and that we should continue to hope that the heart of a disbeliever will turn to Allah at any moment. Furthermore, we come to believe that parents, though not clinging to the right way, may tell their offspring to pursue the truth.

Approach Allah with Nawafil

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.38

On the authority of Abu Hurairah (Radhiallaho anha) who said:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

Allah the Almighty has said:

"Whosoever shows enmity to a friend of Mine,I shall be at war with him.

My slave does not draw near to Me with anything more loved by Me than the religious duties I have imposed upon him,

and My slave continues to draw near to Me with supererogatory works so that I shall love him.

When I love him I am his hearing with which he hears,

his seeing with which he sees,
his hand with which he holds,

and his foot with which he walks.
Were he to ask [something] of Me, I would surely give it to him;
and were he to ask Me for refuge, I would surely grant him it."

Pardoning of Mistakes and Forgetfulness

An-Nawawi’s Hadith No.39

On the authority of Ibn Abbas (Radhiallaho anha) that the Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"Allah has pardoned for me my people for [their] mistakes and [their] forgetfulness and for what they have done under duress."

A Hasan (fair) Hadith related by Ibn Majah, Al-Baihaqi and others.


Commentary:
Being excused for what is done mistakenly or out of forgetfulness does not mean that there will be no consequent rulings. This means that a person might be forgiven but he still has to take responsibility for his actions

Dignity and Tranquility

Allah, the Exalted, says:

"And the (faithful) slaves of the Most Gracious (Allah) are those who walk on the earth in humility and sedateness, and when the foolish address them (with bad words) they reply back with mild words of gentleness.'' (Al Qur'an : 25:63)


`Aishah (RadiAllahu 'anha) reported:

I have never seen Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) laughing so heartily that his uvula could be seen. He used to smile only.

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]

Commentary:
To laugh much is one of the sign of indifference to the remembrance of Allah. Besides, the habit of laughing aloud robs away the dignity and impressiveness of a man.

Excellence of The Prayer (As-Salah) & Call To Prayers (Adhan)

Abu Hurairah (Radhiallahu anhu) reported:

The Messenger of Allah (Sallallaahu 'alaihi wasallam) said:

"Were people to know the blessing of pronouncing Adhan and the standing in the first row, they would even draw lots to secure these privileges. And were they to realize the reward of performing Salat early, they would race for it; and were they to know the merits of Salat after nightfall (`Isha') and the dawn (Fajr) Salat, they would come to them even if they had to crawl.''

[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]


Commentary:
This expression 'to crawl' is used to illustrate the high merit of praying `Isha and Fajr in congregation in the mosque. This Hadith also urges to make best to occupy the first rows, as the `Angels of Mercy' pray for the Imam first, then for those who pray immediately behind him in the first row, then those behind them, and so on. The Hadith also points out the excellence of Adhan and the great reward of the person who pronounces it.
