The story of a tested man!

Al-Awza’i narrates from ‘Abdullah ibn Muhammad that he said:

I went out to the shore as a patrolman and our patrol at the time was in ‘Areesh Misr. When I arrived at the shore, I came upon an open area and there was tent on it. In the tent was a man who had no hands and legs and he was hard of hearing and sight. None of his limbs were of benefit to him but his tongue, and was saying: O Allah, grant me (the ability) to praise you a praise through which I can sufficiently thank You for the favours You have bestowed upon me and by which You have preferred me over many whom You have created a great preference.

Al-Awza’I said: ‘Abdulla said: By Allah, I will certainly go to this man and I shall certainly ask him about this speech. An understanding, or knowledge or inspiration which was inspired to him?

So I approached the man and greeted him and said to him: I heard you and you were saying: O Allah, grant me (the ability) to praise you a praise through which I can sufficiently thank You for the favours You have bestowed upon me and by which You have preferred me over many whom You have created a great preference.; so what favour from the favours of Allah upon you are you praising Him for? And in what way did He prefer you over others a great preference that you need to thank Him for it? He said: Don’t you see what my Lord has done? By Allah, if He sent the sky to me as a fire which burned me, or ordered the mountains to crush me, or the oceans to drown me, or the earth to swallow me up; it would only cause me to be more grateful to my Lord for the favour of this tongue He bestowed upon me.

However, O slave of Allah: As long as you have come to me, I have a need of you! Perhaps you see me and the state I am in, I cannot harm nor benefit myself. I had a young son who used to come to me at the time of prayer and help me do my ablution, and when I became hungry he’d feed me, and I became thirsty he’d provide me with a drink but I have missed him for the last three days, so please look for him on my behalf may Allah have mercy on you.

I said: By Allah, no creature could fulfill the need of another which is greater in reward with Allah than a need similar to yours. So I set out looking for the young boy, and I hadn’t gone far before I came by a sand hill, and behold I found the boy who had been preyed upon by a beast which ate his flesh! I did istirjaa’ (saying Indeed we belong to Allah and to Him is our return) and said: How am I going to be able to face this man with a gentle face?!

As I was heading towards him, the thikr (words of remembrance) of Ayyub the Prophet (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him) came to my heart. So when I reached him I greeted him and he responded and said: Are you not my companion? I said yes! He said: What did you do about my need? I said: Are you more honourable in the site of Allah or was Ayyub the Prophet? He said, of course Ayyub the Prophet. I said: Do you know what His Lord did with him? Did He not test him in his wealth, family and children? He said, yes. I said: How did He find him? He said: He found him patient, grateful and praising. I said: He was not pleased with that for him until his relatives and loved ones deserted him? He said, yes. I said: How did His Lord find him? He said: He found him patient, grateful and praising; make it short may Allah have mercy on you. I said to him: The young boy you sent me in search of, I found him in a sand hill having been preyed upon by a beast which had eaten his flesh. May Allah increase for you tour reward and may He inspire you with patience.

The tested man said: Praise be to Allah Who did not create from my progeny creations who would disobey Him and He would then punish them by the fire. He then did istirjaa’ and breathed a sigh and died.

I said: Indeed to Allah we belong and to Him is our return. What a huge calamity before me; a man like this, if I were to leave him the beasts would eat him, and if I stay I won’t be able to harm nor benefit. So I covered him in a cloak which was over him and sat at his head crying.

As I was sitting, four men came upon me and said: O slave of Allah, what is your situation and what is your story. So I told them my story and his. They said to me: uncover his face for us, perhaps we know him. I uncovered his face and the men fell upon him kissing his eyes and his hands alternately and saying: May our father be sacrificed; for how long these eyes were lowered from the prohibitions of Allah. May our father be sacrificed; for how long this body prostrated before Allah while the people were sleeping.

I said: Who is this, may Allah have mercy on you? They said, this is Abu Qilabah al-Jurmi, the companion of ibn ‘Abbas. He had tremendous love for Allah and the Prophet of Allah (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!!

So we washed him and shrouded him with clothing we had with us and prayed over him and buried him. The men left and I went back to my station. When night fell, I put my head down and saw him in a dream, in a garden from the gardens of Paradise wearing two garments from the garments of Paradise while reciting the revelation (which means): “Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.” (13:24).

I said: Aren’t you my companion? He said, yes. I said: How did you receive this?! He said: Verily, with Allah are levels that cannot be attained except with patience at times of trial and gratitude at times of prosperity along with fear of Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, in private and in public.

Op, thank you. Barka da Jumu'ah brothers and sisters.

Hmmm what an insightful athar may Almighty Allah bestow the act of being patient upon us

Jumah Mubarak 2all......

Lolz. Rant all you want, it won't change the truth that Mohamed collected his son's wife and kissed a boy's pennis.

The God forsaken person is he who opened his eyes and allow a morally rotten dog like Mohamed to deceive him.


Be sincere to yourself. Look at Mohamed's lifestyle and tell me if his lifestyle is worth emulation.

Mohamed is a sexual pervert that had sex with everything and anything. He even had told one of his followers to have sex with a dead person. Yuri!

Subhanallah.

Lolz. I've never heard a dumber question all my life.

Are you seriously saying you don't know about Mohammed's morally rotten lifestyle? Do you know that he was poisoned by one of the victims of his sexual immorality?

I challenge you to go and research about Mohammed's life. Don't go to your imams or alfas. Rather, go and make personal research. One of the best sources of information is the sahih hadiths.

Google can also help you

Don't just follow Mohammed like a blind man that doesn't know where he is going.

Lolz.

So, you are a Muslim because Muhammad is rated most influential person on earth?

Very funny.

Have you asked yourself why he was given the rating?

Go and read about his actual lifestyle and stop reasoning like a child.

Go and read about the true nature of Muhammad, how he slept with men, Slept with a 9 year old girl and collected his son's wife, raped women after killing their husbands.

Go and read, child, and stop playing the fool

This is not about insult ; it is about history. Go and read history about Mohammed and stop running away from the truth.

Or are you afraid to learn the truth about Muhammad? If not, go and read history about him and stop reasoning like a shortsighted, myopic fool.

Is that what they teach you in quranic school? To abuse people's parents because they tell you to read muhamed's history?

Boy, don't be afraid of the truth. Go and read history about Mohammed's sexual immoralities.

Mohamed married a 6 year old girl and left the poor girl a widow when she was 18 years old.

Mohammed collected his son's wife

Mohammed slept with men and asked his followers to dedicate their pennis to him.

Go and read sahih hadiths about Mohammed's way of life instead of showcasing your parents as irresponsible people.

You are focusing on irrelevant things. Oga, focus on the topic, like a responsible person.

Go and do a personal research about the kind of life that Mohamed lived. Then ask yourself how such a morally rotten dog can be a prophet of God.

Are you too lazy to learn or you are afraid to find out the truth about Islam and Mohamed?

.

Islam is idol worshipping. The Allah you worship was already been worshipped as an idol in Mecca long before Islam started.

So, you are worshipping an idol but your imams and Alfas will never tell you the truth.

Quran 33:56 said Allah prayed for Mohamed. How can God pray?

When Allah prayed, can you tell me who Allah prayed to? How can God pray? Who was he praying to?

The God I know doesn't pray. Rather, he answers prayers.

This is a clear sign that Allah is not God Almighty.

Peace be upon you for what you patiently endured. And excellent is the final home.” (13:24).

May we be among the beneficiaries.
