True Servants Of Rahman.

[SAFAH]

Bismillah.

 

In a hadeeth related by Imam Muslim رحمة الله عليه in his Sahih, on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah رضى الله عنه, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم says ‘Never does anyone’s wealth decrease by giving in the way of Allah and never is a servant of Allah forgiving and merciful to anybody else except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى increases his honour and dignity, and never is a servant of Allah humble for Allah’s sake except that Allah سبحانه وتعالى elevates him’.

Allah hates those who are arrogant and loves those who are humble. In a hadeeth related by Imam Ahmad Ibn Hambal in his Musnad, Sayyiduna Huthayfah رضى الله عنه, says ‘Once we accompanied the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم to a janaazah. There, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم stood over the grave staring in and then after mentioning the punishment of the grave, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to us, Should I not inform you of the worst of Allah’s creation? Every man who is foul mouthed and arrogant. And should I not inform you of the best of Allah’s servants? Every weak, humble and oppressed person who if he swears in the name of Allah عز وجل, Allah سبحانه وتعالى will fulfil his promise. Allah would not allow his oath to go unfulfilled and unanswered. ‘
